Chapter 123 Banging Against the Wall

"Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Lu and Uncle Butler," Wen Ni replied politely.

The housekeeper's brief remark made it clear to her that the arrangement for her to stay and take care of Lu Jinye tonight was a deliberate plan by Old Master Lu, not a spur-of-the-moment decision...

"Also, Miss Wen Ni, this is Young Master Lu's bedroom. The room opposite is the study, and the room further in is Young Master Lu Jinbai's bedroom, but Young Master Lu is away on vacation these days and hasn't been home lately!"

"Okay, I understand, thank you, Uncle Butler." The explanation was very detailed, and Wen Ni nodded knowingly.

"Get some rest, Miss Wenni."

The butler smiled warmly, turned around, and walked towards the stairwell.

Wen Ni also raised her hand and pushed open the bedroom door in front of her.

The moment the door opened

She was almost scared away by the pink color all over the room!

Their steps froze, stuck at the doorway, unable to go in or back!

Everything in the room, from the large furniture to the small decorations, was pink!

There were even all sorts of dolls on the bed.

This is just... way too girly!

Although it was carefully prepared

But this style... is completely not her style!

"Or, you can sleep in my room?"

A faint question suddenly came from the side.

Wen Ni turned her head and looked at Lu Jinye, who was leaning against the door of the room next to her.

He had changed into a set of loungewear, a loose gray T-shirt and baggy silk pajamas, which was very casual and comfortable.

"If I sleep in your room, where will you sleep?"

"Where do you want me to sleep?" He deliberately drew out his voice, then raised his eyebrows at her before saying seriously, "The study is fine too."

"..." She almost overthought things.

It seems Lu Jinye also dislikes this style, preferring to sleep in the study rather than the pink bedroom.

"No need. This room is fine with me. I'm not that fussy!" In the past, when Wen Ni was on missions, she had to endure wind and rain, and in the worst conditions, she had even slept on graves, battlefields, and next to corpses!

"Get some rest, Lu Jinye. You look like you have kidney deficiency. I don't want to spend the next few days taking care of you while you're paralyzed in bed!"

After making a slightly teasing joke, she turned around, went into the bedroom, and closed the door.

Lu Jinye was left standing there, staring at the closed door.

After a long while, he secretly raised his eyebrows, and a meaningful smile appeared on his pale lips!

This guy.

Do you really understand what kidney deficiency means?

He raised his hand to press his aching shoulder, lowered his eyes, and turned back to his bedroom.

In the living room on the first floor

Grandpa Lu remained where he was, leaning on his cane and gazing out at the dark night.

Until the butler came downstairs and said, "Sir, everything is settled!"

"Okay, sure."

Lu Jianxun nodded and turned around. "Thanks to that clever kid Baron, he knew to tip me off. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have thought of any other way to keep Wen Ni here!"

"Barron has always been quick-witted and full of clever ideas."

The butler smiled and asked, "Then, sir, are you really going to fly to Nancheng for recuperation tomorrow?"

"Sigh~ No rush, that was just for Wen Ni's ears! With such a big thing happening in Jinye, how could I leave with peace of mind? But I also want to take this opportunity to let these young people get to know each other better."

Lu Jianxun tightened his grip on his cane. "Old Xu, why don't you call and ask those old guys in the military region if they're free? How about I invite them over for a couple of days?"

“…Alright, sir.” The butler shook his head helplessly in agreement.

Early the next morning

Wen Ni got out of bed before seven o'clock.

However, it's not that she's particularly diligent.

She was woken up by the housekeeper knocking on the door!

"Excuse me for bothering you, Miss Wen Ni." Butler Xu maintained his smile. "The old master is about to leave to catch a flight, and he would like to have breakfast with you before he leaves."

"Okay, I'll pack up and come down."

"Also, Miss Wenni, these are some change of clothes that our grandfather prepared for you."

Butler Xu handed over a few more sets of clothes.

"Please pick one to change into first, then give me the clothes you took off, and I'll have Aunt Liu wash them for you!"

Wen Ni then noticed that there was a woman in her fifties standing behind Butler Xu.

"Then please wait a moment."

"No rush, Miss Wenni."

Wen Ni nodded, took the clothes, and closed the door.

etc……

She flipped through them and realized that all of them were dresses.

Colorful and gaudy.

It reminded Wen Ni of the colorful feathers on a peacock!

Since joining the army, she has basically never worn a skirt except when required for missions.

But the housekeeper was still waiting outside, and Lu Jianxun was also waiting for her to have dinner together.

never mind--

She'll just wear this for now, and she'll go home and get a few more outfits when she has time!

With that thought in mind, she grabbed a piece of clothing and put it on.

First floor, restaurant.

Lu Jianxun, dressed neatly, sat in the main seat.

To his left was Lu Jinye, and behind Lu Jinye stood Qin Yuan and Butler Xu.

The cook prepared breakfast and brought it up one by one.

They didn't rush to start eating, waiting for Wen Ni to come down so they could eat together.

"Konno, have you cancelled all your acting activities? Also, put aside the group's business for now and take a full rest these next few days!"

Lu Jianxun remained calm, and then casually added:

"Spend more time with Comrade Wen Ni when you have free time. She promised to stay and take care of you, so you can't neglect her, understand?"

“I know, Grandpa.” Lu Jinye paused as he flipped through the newspaper, raising an eyebrow slightly.

"Old Xu, the old man's purpose in trying to matchmake Master Lu and Miss Wen Ni is too obvious. Even I, a blockhead, can see it..." Qin Yuan nudged Butler Xu's arm from behind and muttered to himself.

Unsurprisingly, this earned him a glare from Lu Jianxun!

"Qin Yuan".

"Yes, sir! What can I do for you?"

"Nothing much, just that your wattage is too high, it's hurting my eyes."

"..."

Qin Yuan forced a smile: "Then I'll leave?"

The housekeeper and the cook standing nearby couldn't help but smile.

Qin Yuan felt a little embarrassed by their laughter. He scratched his head and suddenly heard a noise coming from the stairwell. He immediately looked over to divert everyone's attention. "Is it Miss Wen Ni coming down?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jinye, who had been looking down at the newspaper, finally raised his head and looked over as well.

A pair of pink bunny slippers made their debut!

Looking up, you see smooth, fair calves without a single ounce of excess fat.

She was wearing a white and pink stand-up collar cheongsam, with a sheer fabric and a fitted waist, which perfectly showcased her slightly slender yet curvaceous figure!

Wen Ni washed her hair in the morning at lightning speed, and left it slightly damp with the hairdryer on her shoulders. Her pretty face was bare, without any makeup.

Standing there, she looked as pure and beautiful as a school beauty from the Republican era!

"My goodness, Miss Wen Ni is truly versatile! When she's calm, life is beautiful, but who would have thought that when she gets moving, she's more ferocious than a man, grabbing a thug's head and slamming it against a wall!"

Qin Yuan opened her mouth and accidentally blurted out what was on her mind...
