Dou Xiangling stayed at Zi Yi’s house until dinner, before she then left.

After Dou Xiangling left, Zi Yi headed down to the basement.

The majority of the equipment she had purchased had arrived one after another and they were all waiting to be assembled.

She stayed in the basement until 11 p.m at night. It was the housekeeper who called out to her before she finally realized the time. “Miss Zi, it’s getting very late.”

Only then, did she stop the work and intended to continue tomorrow instead.

When she came out of the basement, she said, “You can go and rest first. I’m also heading to bed now.”

The housekeeper nodded and said, “Goodnight, Miss Zi.” After that, he left the backyard.

Zi Yi headed for the living room.

However, when she entered the living room and was just about to close the door, her phone rang.

She glanced at the caller and answered the call in slight surprise as the corner of her lips curled up. “Ah Jing, why are you calling me at this time?”

Lu Jingye’s voice sounded slightly hoarse and it was particularly bewitching. “I’ve returned from my grandfather’s banquet. I saw a cake shop and bought you one on the way. Do you want to eat it?”

Zi Yi cheerfully replied. “Yes!”

She then asked, “Where are you right now?”

“I’m reaching home soon.”

Zi Yi held her phone and walked out of the courtyard as she asked, “Have you gotten me milk tea?”

“The cake shop doesn’t sell milk tea. But I got you a bottle of yogurt.”

The smile on her face deepened and she automatically forgot the fact that there was yogurt in her fridge. Her footsteps had also quickened.

When she went over to the courtyard, the housekeeper who was about to rest for the day had heard her movements.

He thought that she planned to go out. “Miss Zi, where are you going?”

“I’m waiting for Ah Jing.”

The housekeeper immediately understood and he tactfully said, “Then I’m heading to rest for the day.”

“Okay!”

Zi Yi did not need to wait long for the car lights to appear at the front gates.

The car stopped inside the gates and Lu Jingye opened the door of the back seat.

The moment he opened the door, Zi Yi came to his side and ran into his embrace.

Lu Jingye held onto the food with one hand and hugged her waist with another.

Zi Yi snuggled in his embrace and said, “You drank. And a lot at that.”

Lu Jingye’s lips curled up. His voice became hoarse due to the alcohol. “En, there were many guests tonight so it was inevitable to drink more.”

Zi Yi came out from his embrace and looked up at his handsome face that was illuminated by the street lights. She then put her hands around his neck and said with a smile, “Let me check what alcohol you drank?”

She stood on tiptoe and kissed him.

The moment her lips touched his, his hand tightly pressed her into his embrace.

Due to the tight hug, Zi Yi only managed to kiss his chin.

Lu Jingye’s deep voice rang in her ears. “Let’s go the backyard.”

Everyone stayed in the front yard and he had no intention for other people to spectate their intimacy.

Zi Yi nodded and the two of them headed for the backyard while holding hands.

When they arrived at the backyard, Zi Yi took the yogurt in his hands and drank it while looking at him. After taking two sips, she said, “We’re in the backyard.”

Lu Jingye chuckled, reached out to hold her waist, and dragged her into his embrace. He lowered his head and gave her a warm, deep kiss.

After a while, Lu Jingye’s voice that contained slight traces of a smile sounded, as he asked the obedient young lady in his embrace, “Do you know what alcohol I drank now?”

Zi Yi pursed her lips and smiled. “Nope. I only tasted yogurt.”

Following that, she took another sip of the yogurt and stared at him with her bewitching beautiful eyes. “You want to try again?”

Lu Jingye’s eyes darkened and his Adam’s apple moved. A moment later he hugged her close and prevented her from looking at him while he softly said in her ears, “Little villain, don’t be naughty.”

Zi Yi giggled as she held his waist and felt his warmer-than-usual body heat.

Lu Jingye only released her after controlling that flame of desire in his body. He held her hands and headed for the living room.

While they walked, Zi Yi asked, “Won’t your family look for you?”

“They won’t.” Lu Jingye smiled as he thought of his mother’s appearance where she wished he could go and find Zi Yi as soon as possible. “Grandfather had already settled for the day when I left. The others can handle the rest.”

Having said that, he opened the cake box.

Zi Yi took a small piece and her eyes brightened after having a taste. “This shop’s cake is delicious!”

“I’ll buy it for you often in the future.”

“Okay!”

After she finished a piece, she continued hugging Lu Jingye’s waist and asked, “Ah Jing, are you drunk?”

Lu Jingye looked at the young girl’s shining eyes and responded with an affirmative two seconds later.

Zi Yi smiled. Her eyes scanned his face twice before wandering downstairs.

Lu Jingye looked at the young lady within his embrace with narrowed eyes. He knew that she was planning something in that mind of hers once again and looked at her warily.

She did not know how attractive she was and he could only constantly remind himself that she had not reached adulthood yet.

When Zi Yi’s hands reached into his clothes and landed on his waist, his body shook. He could not control himself and gave her a punishing kiss.

After she turned obedient from his kiss, he said with his hoarse and deep voice, “You’re not an adult yet. Don’t play around.”

Zi Yi’s dazed mind finally cleared up after hearing what he said. She discontentedly bumped her head against his chest. “Old-fashioned.”

A burst of loud laughter could be heard after she said that.

Lu Jingye looked at Zi Yi resting in his embrace and stroked her head. “It’s getting late. Go and rest early.”

However, Zi Yi hugged his waist without letting go.

Lu Jingye had no other option but to ask, “Do you want me to carry you on my back or princess carry you?”

Zi Yi raised her head and her eyes shone brightly. “Princess carry!”

At the sight of the young lady acting spoiled, Lu Jingye felt his heart-melting.

He then picked her up in his arms and headed upstairs.

Zi Yi put her arms around his neck and asked, “Am I heavy?”

“No.” He then added, “You’re too light.”

Zi Yi was delighted at his response.

Lu Jingye put her down after they arrived outside her bedroom door. “Go to bed early. Don’t surf the internet at night.”

Zi Yi looked at the dark circles under his eyes and nodded. She then stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips. “Goodnight.”

“Goodnight.”

The next day when Zi Yi opened the door, she just so happened to see Lu Jingye coming out.

“Good morning, Ah Jing~”

“Good morning.”

The two of them headed downstairs together.

As it was still early, Zi Yi suggested. “Let’s go for a morning run.”

Obviously, Lu Jingye would not have any objections.

The moment they went outside, they saw the housekeeper standing in the yard assigning jobs to the servants. When the housekeeper saw them, he hastily headed over and greeted them. “Good morning, Young master, Miss Zi.”

“Good morning.”

After she greeted the housekeeper, Zi Yi headed outside together with Lu Jingye.

When they finished their morning run, Lu Jingye’s phone rang.

He only said a sentence after he answered the call. “I’ll come over later.”
