After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 287 But It Has to Be Him

The original Qiao Jingjing liked Shen Tingzhi and didn't want to marry him, he understood, but why did Jingjing want to marry him after replacing her?
Since she was not the original Qiao Jingjing, she could have taken the opportunity to cancel the engagement that time.

Qiao Jingjing was stunned by his question.

Why did she want to marry Lu Xingzhi at that time?

That was because she knew what happened to the original owner and was worried that Shen Tingzhi would come back to harass her again. Of course, the most important reason was that she knew Lu Xingzhi's character and knew that it would be a good idea to marry him.

But there is no need to tell Lu Xingzhi about this.

Thinking about it, she blinked her eyes, her face was not red, and she said breathlessly: "Of course it's because I like you."

Her straightforward answer stunned Lu Xingzhi, as he had not expected this.

The corners of his lips curled up in pleasure, his fingers gently stroked her round shoulders, his voice low and pleasant, "So, when you first saw me at the Qiao family, you took a fancy to me?"

Qiao Jingjing paused, nodded, and said sincerely, "Of course."

Lu Xingzhi was in a good mood, but he restrained himself and said, "Then...what do you like about me?"

"Some people can't explain clearly what's good about him, but they just can't live without him." Qiao Jingjing said in a deep voice.

Lu Xingzhi was shocked, and looked at her with burning eyes.

Qiao Jingjing felt guilty when he looked at her.

"Jingjing..." Lu Xingzhi's throat tightened and he hugged her tightly in his arms.

Qiao Jingjing put her face on his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and couldn't help asking: "What about you? Do you like me?"

"Yeah." Lu Xingzhi responded in a low voice.

"What does um mean?" Qiao Jingjing was dissatisfied.

Lu Xingzhi sighed and touched her head, "I like you."

Qiao Jingjing raised the corners of her lips, raised her hands and hugged his neck tightly, and asked, "When did you start to like me?"

Lu Xingzhi looked a little uncomfortable, but he still said, "I don't know exactly when it was. I only know that after I married you, I found that you were different from the Qiao Jingjing I knew, and then I was slowly attracted to you."

He didn't know when it started, but wherever she was, his eyes would be drawn to her.

Qiao Jingjing felt sweet in her heart. This meant that he must have liked her for a long time.

Thinking of this, she moved closer and kissed his Adam's apple.

Lu Xingzhi's body tensed up, and the arms around her body tightened a little.

Noticing the changes in his body, Qiao Jingjing blinked, quickly let go of him, and distanced herself from him, "Well, it's getting late, let's go to bed."

"Yeah." Lu Xingzhi looked at her helplessly, then suddenly stretched out his hand and held her in his arms again.

Qiao Jingjing thought he was going to do something and was startled. She was about to push him away, but she heard him say in her ear, "Don't worry, I won't do anything." As he spoke, his hand gently patted her back.

Qiao Jingjing relaxed and even yawned.

Although she doesn't suffer from dysmenorrhea, she always feels easily tired during her period. This afternoon, she played cards with Mr. and Mrs. Lu for the entire afternoon, and her waist and back were very sore.

Seeing that Lu Xingzhi would not do anything reckless, she adjusted her sleeping position in his arms and fell asleep peacefully.

Lu Xingzhi lowered his head and looked at the person who was sleeping in his arms. He actually had many things to ask her.

For example, the world she originally lived in.

He was very curious, what kind of world could produce a woman with such a character?

And how could he have the honor to meet and have such a special girl?
……

The next day, when Qiao Jingjing got up, the sky outside the window was already white, although the snow had stopped, the weather was still gloomy.

She stood by the window for a while and felt the coldness penetrate her bones. She called Jinkui and asked him to close the window.

It's so cold today, it's naturally more comfortable to stay indoors.

She was holding the hand warmer and had just sat down on the couch when Qing Yuan hurriedly walked in.

"Madam, I heard that the little girl that the second young master brought back yesterday suddenly had a fever at night, and the old lady asked someone to invite a doctor to see her."

Qiao Jingjing was surprised.

Is that little girl sick?
In this way, it cannot be donated to the charity hall.

But why did he suddenly fall ill?

"Since you are sick, I'm afraid we can't send you to the charity center today." Jinkui couldn't help but say.

"Yes, I heard that when he was found this morning, he had fainted." Qing Yuan nodded.

After thinking for a while, Qiao Jingjing ordered: "Go to Dexin Hall and have a look."

Hearing this, Jinkui quickly took out the cloak and put it on her.

Holding a hand warmer, Qiao Jingjing went to Dexin Hall with her maid.

"Why are you here, Madam?" Aunt Rong was a little surprised to see her come in as it was so cold outside.

"I heard that the little girl was sick, so I came to see her." Qiao Jingjing said, looking up into the room, not seeing Mother Lu, and asked, "Where's my mother?"

"The old lady went to the little girl's room." Aunt Rong replied, then sighed, "The little girl had not been full for a long time and was weak. She suddenly had a fever at night. When she was found this morning, she was already unconscious."

Qiao Jingjing nodded, "I'll go over and take a look."

"I'll take you there." Aunt Rong said.

The little girl was placed in a side room of Dexin Hall, just a few steps away from the main house.

When she arrived at the little girl's room, Qiao Jingjing saw Lu's mother sitting in front of the bed, feeding the little girl medicine.

It seems that Lu's mother really likes children.

Qiao Jingjing seemed to be thinking about something, and called softly, "Mom."

Mother Lu turned around and saw her, and asked with concern: "Why are you here in such a cold day?"

"I'm fine. I heard that the little girl was sick, so I came to see her. How is she? Is she feeling better?" Qiao Jingjing asked, looking at the little girl leaning against the head of the bed.

"The doctor said she caught a cold. Plus, it was only discovered this morning, so the situation is quite serious. She just woke up." Mother Lu said worriedly.

Qiao Jingjing nodded and turned her gaze to the little girl.

The little girl looked listless. She was drinking the medicine fed to her by Lu's mother mouthful by mouthful. When she noticed Qiao Jingjing's stare at her, she immediately lowered her head timidly.

After Mother Lu fed her the medicine and told the maid to take care of her, she motioned for Qiao Jingjing to go out with her.

Qiao Jingjing nodded and followed him out.

However, when she walked out of the house, she suddenly turned around and looked sharply in the direction of the bed, and sure enough, her gaze met the little girl's.

The little girl seemed not to have expected that she would suddenly turn around. She was stunned for a moment, and the thoughtful expression on her face immediately turned into timidity.

Qiao Jingjing put away her sharpness and smiled at her as if nothing had happened. "It's cold, little girl, you must take good care of yourself."

When Mother Lu heard the sound, she turned around and saw Qiao Jingjing still standing by the door. She thought she was worried about the little girl, so she smiled and said, "Don't worry, Zhiyi is looking after her."

Qiao Jingjing glanced at Zhiyi in the room, then followed him.
