n

nSoon, someone had reported the situation at Lu Zhiheng’s side to Lu Jingye.

n

nHe only responded with an ‘ok’ and said, “If you don’t wish to remain in the Lu Group, you can leave.”

n

nThe other party responded and hung up the call.

n

nLu Jingye and Zi Yi had already returned to their bedroom at this time.

n

nZi Yi finished showering and came out only with a towel wrapped around her as she wiped her hair.

n

nShe saw Lu Jingye seemingly staring in blank space as he looked at his phone. She then stopped and asked, “Ah Jing, what are you thinking about?”

n

nLu Jingye put away the phone and came over to take the towel from her hand.

n

nZi Yi headed to the sofa and sat down. Lu Jingye slightly bent down as he stood behind her to dry her hair. While drying her hair, he told her about the situation at Lu Zhiheng’s side.

n

nZi Yi snorted at the news. “This is the best outcome. He’s throwing himself off the cliff and it saves us the time we would have spent taking care of him.”

n

nZi Yi did not believe that Lu Zhiheng was uninvolved in the poisoning incident where poisonous medicinal ingredients were added to the prescriptions of the eight patients.

n

nShe initially intended to breach the Lu Groups’ defense wall and let it suffer from attacks all around.

n

nHowever, now that Lu Zhiheng had personally dug a pit for himself, there was no need for her to spend extra effort.

n

nZi Yi had already guessed the ending of the Lu Group under Lu Zhiheng’s management.

n

nShe turned around and put her hands around Lu Jingye’s neck. “I’d like to see the scene when Lu Zhiheng causes the Lu Group to go bankrupt.”

n

nLu Jingye did not expect her to suddenly turn around and pounce over. “Your hair hasn’t dried yet. Don’t move.”

n

n“No~” Lu Zhiheng held his neck without letting go. “I’ll be going to my Grandfather’s place tomorrow. I won’t be able to sleep with you tomorrow; will you miss me?”

n

nLu Jingye knew that the young lady was reluctant to part with him and the corner of his lips slightly raised. “Yes.”

n

n“Then…”

n

nZi Yi whispered in his ears, “Come find me tomorrow night.”

n

nLu Jingye looked at her with a smile and touched her smooth shoulder. “This is a wedding custom, it’s not good for me to come over.”

n

nZi Yi puffed out her cheeks and complained. “We didn’t have such a custom during my era. As long as both parties were fond of each other, they would be together.”

n

nAfter some slight thought, she said, “Forget it, since it is a custom, we have to respect it. Besides, my Aunts and Cousins would definitely be watching over me tomorrow.”

n

nThey had told her about the procedure of the wedding day before. She even had to get up at 4 a.m to start dressing up.

n

nLu Jingye responded with a smile and was about to continue drying her hair.

n

nZi Yi originally wanted to straighten herself and had accidentally brushed against him, only to realize that her towel had loosened…

n

nWith a single movement, the bath towel directly dropped down.

n

nHer jade-like, white and tender skin was completely reflected before him.

n

nIt was simply a delectable sight.

n

nLu Jingye’s eyes darkened. His Adam’s apple bobbed up and down before he reached out to help her tighten the bath towel properly and continue drying her hair.

n

nHowever, Zi Yi grabbed his approaching hand and she gave him an amorous gaze. “You made my bath towel drop.”

n

n“Mmh.”

n

nZi Yi smiled like a flower.

n

n“You definitely have ideas about me.”

n

nLu Jingye’s voice sounded deep. “Your hair hasn’t dried yet.”

n

n“It’ll dry itself after a few rolls on the bed.”

n

nSince she had already said it to such an extent, Lu Jingye would not be a man if he remained uninterested.

n

nHe walked over to face her and lifted her up by the waist with one hand and his other hand held the back of her head and pressed his lips against hers.

n

n…

n

nA long time later, Zi Yi lay on Lu Jingye’s chest. She squinted her eyes sleepily and did not forget to whisper proudly, “See, I told you that my hair would dry after rolling around on the bed a few times.”

n

nLu Jingye laughed and looked at her as he lightly caressed her back. “Mmh… go to sleep.”

n

n“Okay, goodnight.”

n

n“Goodnight.”

n

n…

n

nEarly in the next morning.

n

n“Yiyi, it’s time to wake up.”

n

nZi Yi subconsciously shrunk her neck further under the quilt when she heard his voice.

n

nLu Jingye looked at the young lady who wanted to laze in the bed and thought for a moment. He stood up, went over to the window, and opened the curtains before he went to find some clothes for her to wear today.

n

nIn the end, he went to the washroom to prepare a warm towel, before he sat by the bed and pulled the quilt down to reveal her small head. While wiping her face, he said, “Some of your male cousins are already waiting for you downstairs. Are you sure you still want to sleep?”

n

nZi Yi allowed Lu Jingye to help wash her face and she muttered, “What are they doing here so early? Can’t they just let me have a good sleep?”

n

n“It’s Grandfather who told them to pick you up early so you can go and have breakfast together.”

n

nZi Yi finally opened her eyes.

n

nLu Jingye moved the towel away and asked with a smile, “Are you awake now?”

n

nZi Yi nodded. “Yes, I am.”

n

nShe sat up and got dressed quickly. She then headed to the washroom after getting dressed.

n

nLu Jingye took the towel and followed her inside.

n

nZi Yi had already started brushing her teeth when he came in.

n

nSeeing Lu Jingye come in, she asked, “How long have they been here?”

n

n“Around ten minutes.”

n

nZi Yi responded with a muffled groan and continued brushing her teeth.

n

nBy the time she came down, Dou Zerui laughed at her and said, “See, I told you that she’ll still be lazing in bed at this time. She’s pouting so much that she can use her lips to hang up a pot… Were you woken up by Little Lu?”

n

nZi Yi ignored him and greeted her other two cousins. “Eldest Cousin, Fifth Cousin.”

n

nDou Zerui was unhappy. “You didn’t greet me.”

n

nZi Yi snorted at him. “Not only that, I will even tattle on you later.”

n

n“…You’re not ethical.”

n

n“I’m just someone like that.”

n

nAt the sight of the two people who quarreled as soon as they met, the other three revealed a helpless expression.

n

nDou Yunhao chided Dou Zerui. “Are you as young as Little Zi?”

n

nHe ignored Dou Zerui’s stifled expression and said to Lu Jingye, “Little Lu, I’ll be bringing my cousin away then.”

n

nLu Jingye nodded his head in response.

n

nThe five of them headed outside together.

n

nThere were two cars parked outside the front yard and they clearly belonged to the Dou Family members.

n

nDou Yunhao said, “Cousin, come sit in my car.”

n

nHe walked to the passenger’s side and opened the door for her.

n

nDou Zerui and Dou Muyang headed to the other car.

n

nLu Jingye waited for Zi Yi to get settled before he handed her the backpack she often carried with her. “Have a good meal when you’re there, give me a call if anything happens.”

n

nClearly, he was worried about her.

n

nDou Zerui who was in the car next to them said, “Little Lu, you can rest assured that she will be in a great mood and have fun at our place.”

n

nLu Jingye nodded his head and stepped back to let the car drive away.

n

nZi Yi tilted her head and said with reluctance, “Come pick me up early tomorrow.”

n

nLu Jingye nodded his head.

n

nDou Yunhao could not help but chuckle. “The auspicious timing tomorrow is 11:15 p.m and you can come over at that time.”

n

nZi Yi opened her mouth but ended up nodding her head and taking out her phone to play.

n

nDou Yunhao glanced at her and started the car.

n

nWhen Zi Yi arrived at the Dou Family, the majority of them were in the courtyard waiting for her.
