Chapter 275: Chapter 273: Nobody Bullies Me

“You…”

She was about to say something when Song Sinian suddenly turned around and pinned her against the dining table.

Her small hands were propped on the table, and behind her, his tall figure blocked her, casting an imposing shadow over her from above.

“Hush, Zhaozhao, be good…” He cooed at her while scooping up her waist with one hand.

Lu Zhaozhao, caught off guard, found herself completely sprawled on the table, with half of her body practically suspended in air, her feet desperately trying to find a foothold on the ground.

She couldn’t care less about the cold now, her hands frantically clawing the table but finding no leverage whatsoever.

Suddenly, the familiar scent of cedar wood caused her nerves to flood like a rising tide, viciously rushing in from the boundless sea and crashing over the coast again and again.

The spine-tingling sensation spread from her back to her limbs, delightfully and intensely tingling to the tips of her toes.

Had it not been for the fact that most of her body was leaning on the table, she would have fallen under it by now.

Her trailing voice echoed around the dining room and then crashed onto her eardrums, shaking her entire soul.

Lu Zhaozhao’s soft plea for mercy reached Song Sinian’s ears, driving him into further frenzy.

The dining room was already quiet, which only made the incidental noises stand out more in the chaotic mix.

…

Lu Zhaozhao, unaware of what had agitated Song Sinian, patiently accompanied him no matter how tumultuous he became.

And that accompaniment dragged on until late into the night.

Lu Zhaozhao paid no attention to the state of the dining room anymore; she herself was completely disheveled.

The only consolation might have been that the dining table was made of solid wood, sturdy and spacious, and waterproof…

Had Song Sinian not carried her back to the room and meticulously washed her, she felt she would have had to sleep in the dining room all night.

After Song Sinian’s lengthy entanglement with Lu Zhaozhao, he finally calmed down significantly.

He lay in bed holding the limp Lu Zhaozhao, thinking of her sobbing under his torment, and he couldn’t resist kissing the corners of her eyes.

Lu Zhaozhao, sensing Song Sinian’s calm emotions, slowly opened her mouth to ask, “Husband, were you in a bad mood today?”

Song Sinian paused slightly, looking down at Lu Zhaozhao as if somewhat puzzled by her question.

But since she asked, he naturally responded truthfully.

Song Sinian nodded, “Indeed, I was a bit upset.”

Lu Zhaozhao tilted her little head, glanced at Song Sinian, and found a comfortable position in his arms before continuing to ask, “Is it because there’s a problem with work?”

She carefully pondered over matters related to Song Sinian.

Xiao Mo should be as immobilized as the Lu Family, with his backing board members having been thoroughly dealt with by Old Master Song, leaving almost no one useful.

So it was unlikely anyone had been causing trouble for him.

Recently, the Song Group had been cooperating with XJ Group, and all development projects were personally overseen by his older brother.

Could it be that there was some issue within XJ Group?

As Lu Zhaozhao mulled it over, Song Sinian’s crisp voice echoed in the room, “It’s not about work.”

Now, Lu Zhaozhao was a bit puzzled, “Then what is it?”

“Because of you,” Song Sinian sighed lightly, his lips gently kissing her still-reddened eye corners again, “Because you were bullied and you cried.”

“Huh???”

Lu Zhaozhao’s mind went blank.

She was bullied???

And she cried?

Did she lose her memory?

Why doesn’t she remember any of this?

Lu Zhaozhao’s little head was spinning rapidly as she recalled all the events, yet she couldn’t find anything that matched what Song Sinian had just said.

If by being bullied, he meant the incident at school when Xia Wenjin started the live stream, then her crying was…

Lu Zhaozhao’s mind was on the verge of bursting.

Suddenly, she seemed to realize something and turned her stiff little head to look at Song Sinian and asked, “Husband, when… did you see me crying?”

Song Sinian’s dark eyes immediately dimmed a bit, “During the time at the restaurant.”

As expected…

Lu Zhaozhao slowly lifted her sore arms to cradle Song Sinian’s cheeks, “I was just hit by the taste of mustard.”

After she got home, the kitchen prepared a lot of food on the table, including a dish of cold salad.

She didn’t realize it had mustard in it and happened to take a big bite, which made her keep tearing up.

That was the moment when Song Sinian entered the house.

Lu Zhaozhao didn’t even know what to say at the time.

Song Sinian, having not expected Lu Zhaozhao to cry from eating mustard, fell silent for a moment and then decisively said, “I’ll have someone remove mustard from the kitchen ingredients in the future.”

His expression, slightly gritting his teeth, almost made Lu Zhaozhao think he was going to eradicate all the mustard in the world.

Lu Zhaozhao now burst out laughing, hooking her arms around his neck, laughing so mischievously.

“My Mr. Song, how can you be so adorable?”

He saw her tears and even connected it to the day’s events, thinking she had been bullied.

Wasn’t she strong enough in the live stream earlier that day?

She had already told Song Sinian about the things she was currently doing, and it was evident that she was no pushover.

But in Song Sinian’s eyes, she seemed forever to be a little cabbage, easily bullied.

Lu Zhaozhao thought this as she snuggled into Song Sinian’s embrace and suddenly felt immensely happy.

As painful as her previous life felt, this life was just as blissful.

She lifted her little face and kissed Song Sinian’s chin, then slowly said, “Mr. Song, don’t worry, nobody is bullying me, now it’s only my turn to bully others.”

“…”

Song Sinian stayed silent, still seemingly not reassured.

“With you here, if I still get bullied, wouldn’t that be too disgraceful for the title of Mrs. CEO of the Song Group?” Lu Zhaozhao quipped as she winked at Song Sinian, “Don’t you think? My Mr. Song?”

Song Sinian was successfully soothed by Lu Zhaozhao’s words.

He gently rubbed his chin against Lu Zhaozhao, tightened his long arms around her, and then said, “As long as you’re happy, I’m willing to do anything. Whatever you want, I’ll bring it to you. So… no matter what happens, will you tell me, okay?”

He didn’t want to guess about things happening around Lu Zhaozhao anymore.

Whenever he saw her mood was different than usual, he would feel anxious.

The matters regarding her previous life that Lu Zhaozhao mentioned always remained a barrier in his heart.

Both he and the Xia Family deeply pitied the helpless Lu Zhaozhao of the previous life, and Song Sinian hated his past self for not being more caring toward her.

Even if Lu Zhaozhao hated him, he shouldn’t have left her side, should he?
