Chapter 945: Ah, There’s a Cockroach!

He let go of her, lightly pinching her chin with one hand, and instructed:

"I’m going back to the old house to stay. You and Ning Wan each sleep in a separate room. She’s been afraid of the dark since she was a child and needs to sleep with the light on at night. Each of you in a separate room, no interference with each other."

After a pause, he added another instruction: "She’s not a bad person, but she’s used to living abroad since she was a child, so there might be some differences in lifestyle habits compared to those in our country. Please take good care of her for me, and call me if anything happens, got it?"

Wen Duoduo stared at Lu Jinyan in disbelief, wondering if she had misheard.

Did she hear it right? He’s actually asking her, his current girlfriend, to help take care of that childhood friend who has an unclear relationship with him?

Has his brain been flooded with water?!

Instantly, Wen Duoduo was fuming.

Anger surged to her heart as she huffed and said, "You’re just going to leave her to me like that? Aren’t you afraid I’ll bully your childhood friend?"

Wen Duoduo deliberately emphasized the word "bully" with great weight.

Lu Jinyan turned back to look at her, a confident smile tugging at his lips: "You won’t."

"You!" Wen Duoduo choked, getting even more infuriated, "How can you be so sure? I’m telling you, I will..."

As the two of them were talking, suddenly, a scream came from outside.

"Ah—"

That voice was unmistakably Ning Wan’s.

Then came her cries for help: "Ah, help! Jinyan, where are you? Help, come quickly and save me, I’m scared, sob sob sob..."

The two people in the guest room were momentarily stunned. Realizing the voice was Ning Wan’s, they were both taken aback.

Lu Jinyan reacted quickly, immediately opening the door and rushing out.

Wen Duoduo was also startled and hurriedly followed to see what was going on.

The door to the master bedroom was flung open by Ning Wan as she screamed and rushed out, her face pale and hands flailing.

Upon seeing Lu Jinyan, she threw caution to the wind and rushed over: "Jinyan, there’s a cockroach, I’m scared... there’s a cockroach, it’s terrifying!"

She was so pale with fright that she directly lunged at Lu Jinyan and sprang up in one leap.

Next, right in front of Wen Duoduo, she jumped up and wrapped her arms around Lu Jinyan’s neck, her legs hooking around his waist...

The scene couldn’t be more suggestive.

Wen Duoduo saw this and unconsciously tightened her fists by her sides.

She pressed her lips together tightly, gritting them until they creaked, and her long fingers were deeply embedded in her palm...

Oblivious, Ning Wan clung tightly to Lu Jinyan, wrapping around him like an octopus.

She buried her head in his neck, pointing behind her saying, "Cockroach, cockroach..."

Lu Jinyan furrowed his brow, tugging at Ning Wan to try and pull her off, but she was holding tightly to his neck and was wrapped around him securely.

"Ning Wan, get down."

"No! I’m scared, cockroaches are terrifying, sob sob sob..." Ning Wan trembled as if terrified, her shoulders shaking.

Lu Jinyan was almost out of breath from her hold and tugged at her arm again: "Ning Wan, come down quickly. If you don’t come down, how can I get rid of the cockroach?"

"Sob sob sob, I don’t want to, I’m scared."

Ning Wan shook her head.

Lu Jinyan felt utterly helpless. He vaguely sensed two ray-like gazes shooting at him from the side, wishing they could burn him to ashes.

"..." He shivered slightly.

It seemed he had to quickly get rid of the menacing cockroach, or else his head might not be safe.

He was about to move over and smack the cockroach, but saw a shadow passing by, as Wen Duoduo directly kicked mid-air.
