Chapter 301 Mommy Issues

For Kang Liang, last night was hectic but, like any other day, the next morning, when Kang Liang woke up, he was in his house, on the bed. His back was hurting and his mouth was dry but to his shock he did not have a hangover.

Looking over to his side, Kang Liang saw the figure of Lu Shuya wrapped up in his covers. Her arms were naked and exposed but he could easily see the dark blue of her bra strap.

Kang Liang admired her beauty for a moment, but then, he turned to check the time.

Looking at his phone, he realized it was super early but that wasn't important to him because he suddenly saw that Kang Jun had sent him a message.

"3 am? Really bro? Do you even sleep?" Kang Liang scoffed before he opened the message.

Kang Jun: [I have a task for you, if you're up for it. Call me.]

Seeing this, Kang Liang frowned. He was about to get out of bed and call the man but then he suddenly heard a loud gasp.

Turning to look at Lu Shuya, Kang Liang almost burst into a laughing fit.

The girl had looked angelic from the back, but in the front, her makeup was smudged causing her to look like a panda.

However, Lu Shuya didn't know this so she just jumped right into the questions. Looking between them in pure horror, Lu Shuya asked, "We didn't?"

Kang Liang shook his head as he held back his laughter. "We didn't."

Lu Shuya frowned. "What happened last night? Or rather, how did I end up here, with you?"

When saying the words 'with you' there was slight distaste in her voice but this was more due to the fact that Lu Shuya had believed that she had committed such a grave mistake. She was always so composed...

However, hearing her say this, Kang Liang at first found himself frowning. Many women would die to find themselves laying in the bed of his idol persona, Liang Ke, and he would bet that he, as Kang Liang, would also have many suitors. So he did not understand Lu Shuya's attitude. But as he looked at her slightly fear filled, slightly annoyed face, Kang Liang smirked.

"Frankly If I tell you what happened yesterday, you'll wish you'd actually slept with me." Kang Liang said cheekily.

With that said, Lu Shuya snorted. "Highly unlikely."

Hearing this, Kang Liang shrugged. "Well, you spilled your guts. Both literally and figuratively..."

Lu Shuya's eyes widened but she didn't interrupt him.

Kang Liang: "I offered to bring you home but you were super stubborn about it but after my godly convincing you decided to take me up on my offer but you were saying how you didn't want to go home because you didn't want to face your mother, so I brought you to my house."

Lu Shuya remembered this slightly. She had resigned from her position in the company without telling anyone. Not even her mother. And she was afraid of facing the woman...

Lu Shuya was not like Lu AnLing. She was really connected to the family, so even when she had a job, she did not have any plans on moving out. But because she was afraid of what her mother's reaction could be, she realized that she could not go home.

A part of her wondered if her mother would be mad, but for some reason, that wasn't what she feared. What truly sent shivers down her spine was the possibility of her mother not caring at all. So she had planned on reserving a room at Hotel Helios for a while, but drinking with Kang Liang had ruined that plans.

Kang Liang, meanwhile, could see a dark cloud forming around Lu Shuya but he continued to speak.

"When we got here, you were half asleep but once I laid you in the bed, you felt sick. Somehow, you elegantly made your way to the bathroom and... well I don't need to explain that... after that, you removed your shirt and you started to cry and tell me about all sorts of things."

Hearing this, Lu Shuya looked at Kang Liang wide-eyed.

"Like what?" She asked seriously.

"Well, let me just say," Kang Liang said as he laughed slightly. "I thought you would have had daddy issues, not mommy issues!"

Hearing this Lu Shuya turned to Kang Liang and glared.

"Weren't you drunk also!" Lu Shuya said with annoyance.

Kang Liang laughed.

Kang Liang: "Yes but, I didn't drink as much as you did and I'm pretty sure I have a higher alcohol tolerance. But if you would like, since I'm a gentleman, I'll pretend that it didn't happen."

Hearing this, Lu Shuya put her hands over her face. She couldn't believe what she had done. Lu Shuya would have never imagined how easy it was to get so drunk and forgetful...

In her mind, her own situation paralleled Lu AnLing's from years ago.

Thinking about all she had said to the girl that year, Lu Shuya began to feel sincerely horrible for it all, including what she had said to Lu AnLing after finding out that the woman was pregnant by a stranger.

"Fuck me..." Lu Shuya groaned.

"I would love to." Kang Liang said teasingly.

Hearing this, Lu Shuya no longer felt embarrassed and guilty. Instead, she felt annoyed. She grabbed a pillow from the bed and threw it hard towards Kang Liang.

Receiving the blow, Kang Liang laughed childishly. "I was just saying,"

"Just don't say anything!" Lu Shuya said as she reburied her face in her hands.

After a small moment, Lu Shuya got off the bed and found her shirt laying on the floor. She then put it on before she walked towards the door.

"Where are you going?" Kang Liang asked.

Hearing this, Lu Shuya who pouted said, "Home obviously. But that's none of your business!"

Running over to her, Kang Liang, who was only in his underwear, grabbed onto Lu Shuya's arm.

Feeling this, the girl turned around in order to scream at him but as soon as she saw his naked body, the girl's eyes widened and she began to blush profusely.

Kang Liang saw this, and he enjoyed her reaction but he didn't bask in the moment.Instead, he spoke.

"I remember you saying that you no longer had a place to go home to," Kang Liang said somewhat seriously. He then looked at Lu Shuya in the eyes. "If you want, you could stay here."

"Do you give this offer to all the girls you bring to your house?" Lu Shuya said as she frowned.

Kang Liang rolled his eyes.

"You're the first. I don't bring people over here." Kang Liang said simply and for a moment, Lu Shuya felt touched but then, the man spoke again. "I usually go to their places."

Hearing this, Lu Shuya rolled her eyes and then she ripped her arm out of Kang Liang's grip. "No. Thank. You."

After saying this, Lu Shuya was about to walk out the door but once again Kang Liang stopped her.

Kang Liang: "Fine Fine, you can leave but you probably want to wash your face first."

Hearing this, Lu Shuya was slightly alarmed so she made her way to the bathroom.

Lu Shuya remembered that she had makeup on yesterday but she didn't expect her face would look too bad. But when she laid eyes on her reflection in the mirror, Lu Shuya gave a loud shriek.

Hearing this, Kang Liang walked in and said, "You're welcome."

Hearing this, Lu Shuya did not know whether she wanted to thank him or punch him in the face.
