Passionate Devotion

Her In-Laws Were Rich and Powerful

“Isn’t this a little inappropriate…”

Leng Yejin’s gaze turned cold. “How is it inappropriate? You want Shanshan to continue growing up without a father? Is this how you show love towards your daughter?”

Tong Lu said nothing. ‘Isn’t this accusation a little too much?’

“I know right? How is it inappropriate?” Shanshan was still young, but she was playful, and she looked extremely adorable. “Mum, you have such an adorable daughter and such a handsome husband. What a blissful life you lead!”

‘Oh God. Why is this little girl spouting nonsense?’

“Mum, you’re blushing!”

Tong Lu was rendered speechless. ‘How can I not blush after hearing what you said? Naughty girl!’

Shanshan suddenly jumped up. Like the little girl she was, she did not hold back at all and said, “Haha, I know why! Mum, you must be blushing because of how charming dad is! You’re embarrassed, aren’t you!?”

“Shanshan, don’t talk nonsense.”

‘She’s really going overboard. Can’t she see how embarrassed her mother is? I’m so embarrassed right now that I’m about to look for a hole on the floor to hide in.’

Leng Yejin was sitting on the couch in a languid manner. His jawline was perfect, and his facial features were exquisite. He looked cold and sexy at the same time, like a forbidden fruit. He was tremendously charming indeed. But when she recalled the way they… Overwhelming thoughts flooded her mind, and her cheeks became even redder.

“Dad is really, really handsome. Even I am captivated by dad. Mum, why aren’t you feeling the same? Mum, your expectations of men shouldn’t be too high.”

Shanshan suddenly ran over and kissed Tong Lu. She then ran towards Leng Yejin and kissed him too. Her words were shocking. “I kissed mum and dad, which means that mum and dad have kissed indirectly. Since you guys have kissed, you must love each other!”

Tong Lu and Leng Yejin were rendered speechless.

Tong Lu panicked. “Shanshan, don’t fool around.”

Shanshan suddenly covered her eyes with her hands, but she left a slit between her fingers. “Alright, then. I’ll stop being a third wheel. Both of you can kiss each other. I can’t see anything!”

‘Oh God, why is my daughter like this?’

Tong Lu wanted so badly to stuff a piece of cloth into Shanshan’s mouth. Could it be that this girl thought of them as husband and wife?

Tong Lu was still thinking about how to make the atmosphere less awkward when Leng Yejin put Shanshan down. Unlike the flustered Tong Lu, Leng Yejin was calm and composed. He whipped out a credit card from his bag and handed it to Tong Lu. He then told Tong Lu his decision.

“From now onwards, you and Shanshan will be staying here. Secretary Yu will arrange for Shanshan to attend an elite school. I don’t care about how much money you spend, but if there’s anything you need, try your best to settle it with the money in this card. If you encounter any problems that cannot be solved with money, talk to the butler. I’m very busy, and I have no time to care about every single detail of your life. Do you understand?”

Tong Lu looked at the card. She did not take it. “I can’t accept this card. I would like to move back to the university’s staff hostel with Shanshan. We can actually take good care of ourselves.”

“Are you doubting my decision?” Leng Yejin’s gaze turned dark, and the atmosphere immediately became cold.

Tong Lu could not really withstand it, but she gritted her teeth and said, “I just think that it’s not really appropriate for us to live together.”

“How is it not appropriate?”

For a moment, Tong Lu did not know what to say. She was thinking about how there had been an accident between them. Would it not be awkward for them to live together?

Leng Yejin seemed to have the ability to read minds, and it only took one glance at her for him to understand why she was troubled. He suddenly chuckled and relaxed on the couch. “Are you troubled because of what happened earlier?”

Tong Lu immediately blushed, and she did not know what to say. The fact that they had sex this evening was an accident, and the other party was a rich and powerful man. No matter how she thought about it, she was the one who had lucked out. It made no sense for her to complain.

But what else could she do? She was unable to digest what had happened.

Leng Yejin let out a mocking sneer. “Don’t tell me that you think that our relationship has changed just because of what happened earlier. Or do you think that someday in the future, I wouldn’t be able to resist your charm and might sneak into your room?”
