nZi Yi inexplicably felt awkward.

n

n

nShe pondered whether to go back or knock out these men altogether.

n

n

nLu Jingye seemed to detect her dilemma and said to the man beside him, “Go on. I will go over in a minute.”

n

n

n“Young Master Lu.” The man wanted to speak, but Lu Jingye glanced at him and he stopped.

n

n

nThe man nodded and left.

n

n

nLu Jingye walked up to the corner of the wall and asked her, “You must be here for He Fei’s matchmaking banquet, right?”

n

n

nEven though it was a question, he sounded certain.

n

n

nAfter all, He Fei’s father had called him to bring He Fei back.

n

n

nHe did not know about the banquet when he sent He Fei back, but he learned of Madam He’s intentions after he chatted with He Fei’s father.

n

n

nZi Yi looked at the man beneath her and frowned. “So what if I am?”

n

n

n“Since you are a guest, what are you doing here?”

n

n

n“Having fun.”

n

n

n“…”

n

n

nThe two of them looked at each other for some time before Zi Yi said, “You can either pretend you didn’t see me or go and tell on me.”

n

n

nIf he chose to tell on her, she would knock him out.

n

n

nLu Jingye looked at the young woman standing on the wall who was clearly threatening him. An imperceptible smile appeared on his face.

n

n

nDespite her young age, she was involved in things like playing truant, car racing, and climbing walls.

n

n

nHe was contemplating whether he ought to act nosey one more time.

n

n

nA commotion suddenly came from behind Zi Yi. Yang Shiya had clearly brought men over to look for Zi Yi.

n

n

nZi Yi jumped without hesitation.

n

n

nLu Jingye saw the young woman suddenly jump and instinctively went to catch her.

n

n

n“Eh…”

n

n

nThe scent of an unknown man wafted over Zi Yi and left her in a daze.

n

n

nShe raised her head to see the gorgeous man looking at her with his head lowered. Just as she was about to speak, she could hear voices coming from behind the wall.

n

n

n“I clearly saw Miss Zi enter the inner quarters.”

n

n

nA voice was clearly chiming in, “Miss Zi is way too eager. Even though nothing has been set in stone yet, she went into the inner quarters. I wonder what she is trying to do.”

n

n

n“Madam, please watch your words!” It was Zi Xu trying to sound patient.

n

n

nThe lady replied in a sharp tone, “Mr Zi, are you saying Miss Yang is lying?”

n

n

nMadam He’s displeased voice rang out over theirs. “Enough. We just need to check if she is here or not.”

n

n

nHe Fei’s angry voice was heard as well. “What do you mean by this? Why would she trespass into the inner quarters?”

n

n

nLu Jingye put Zi Yi down.

n

n

nHe looked at her and asked, “Why were you in their inner quarters?”

n

n

nZi Yi raised her eyes to look at him and did not answer him directly. Instead, she asked rhetorically, “Would you believe it if I said that someone tricked me?”

n

n

nLu Jingye looked at her lovely eyes and asked, “What do you want to do now?”

n

n

nZi Yi smiled. “You ought to know where the main entrance is, right?”

n

n

nBoth of them spoke cryptically without directly answering each other.

n

n

nLu Jingye looked at her and finally nodded before he turned to walk in the right direction. “Follow me. I will show you the way.”

n

n

nLu Jingye quickly led Zi Yi close to the villa’s main entrance. He stopped to ask, “Need help sending the help away?”

n

n

nZi Yi certainly did not think he would help for no reason. “On what condition?”

n

n

nLu Jingye looked at her for two seconds before he said, “Study hard.”

n

n

n“…”

n

n

nZi Yi saw how mature and composed he was and suddenly wanted to find out what would happen when he lost his composure. She came close to him and deliberately held his tie; she pulled him closer as she smiled and said without restraint, “If I marry He…”

n

n

nZi Yi suddenly realized that she had forgotten her potential husband’s name.

n

n

nLu Jingye looked at the incredibly gorgeous young woman as her faint scent wafted towards him. He suddenly could not bear throwing a temper at her. Instead, he kindly reminded her, “His name is He Fei.”

n

n

nZi Yi let go of his tie when he did not react as she finished her sentence. “If I marry He Fei, would I need to study?”

n

n

nLu Jingye frowned and instinctively did not like what he heard. He raised his hand to straighten his crumpled tie before he headed towards the entrance.

n

n

nNot before long, the servants left after Lu Jingye said something to them.
