Chapter 237 Romantic Allergy

Strong abdominal muscles, broad shoulders, uneven old scars on the left and right, and water droplets playfully sliding down his chest muscles...

Shift your gaze upwards

What I could see was Lu Jinye's chin still dripping with water, and his hair that he hadn't had time to dry.

"...It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?" Wen Ni calmly turned her face back.

She wanted to continue looking at the stars, but found that the reflection in the French windows behind the sheer curtains was still that man's muscular, heart-pounding figure!

There are plenty of men with that build in the military; it's not like she hasn't seen them before!

But even so...

But never before had she felt so panicked and lost.

"Butler Xu said he warmed up a bottle of milk for me and put it in the study, and asked me to come and get it."

"Milk?" Wen Ni frowned and turned around.

Lu Jinye's gaze first fell on the warm milk she was holding in her hand, then slowly moved up to her lips, staring at the tiny milk stains there.

Milk stains clung to her rosy cheeks after her bath.

Every time she blinked, his gaze, which was about to dodge, dimmed a little more!

"Sorry, I probably drank all the milk the housekeeper warmed for you~" Wen Ni shook the milk bottle in her hand and strolled over to his side with small steps. "You can have that bowl of hangover soup!"

After saying that, she was about to leave the study.

Suddenly, he grabbed my arm!

Her brow twitched, and she stopped and turned to look at him. He happened to turn his head and meet her gaze!

From Wen Ni's angle, she could see Lu Jinye's long eyelashes, which fluttered and were covered with glistening water droplets that shimmered in the dim light.

The scent of his body, a mixture of steam and shower gel, desperately tried to penetrate Wen Ni's nose!

You could feel his face getting closer and closer.

She subconsciously clenched her back teeth.

She was thinking to herself that if he got any closer, she was sure she'd give him an over-the-shoulder throw...

No, you can't do an over-the-shoulder throw; he has a back injury!

How about an elbow strike? Or a body strike? Or maybe a sweeping kick to send him flying?

At worst...

Wen Ni straightened her back and leaned her face forward, her bright eyes locked on Lu Jinye's thin lips!

Even if we're going to take a bite, she has to go first! In short, we can't afford to lose!

Sometimes she wondered what it would feel like if she actually kissed a man with such a mouth.

My mind was a jumbled mess of random thoughts.

A white tissue appeared before Wen Ni's eyes first, and then gently landed on her lips!

Wen Ni was stunned.

For a moment, all she could hear was her own heartbeat quickening, and all she could feel on her cheek was the man's warm breath!

Extremely ambiguous, yet extremely restrained.

"that……"

A weak voice came from outside the study door.

Wen Ni turned around abruptly and saw Aunt Liu standing at the door with a mop in her hand.

"Well, I was just passing by! It was chilly inside tonight, and I saw that Mr. Lu was dressed so lightly, so I was worried he might catch a cold. That's why I came over to close the door for you! I won't disturb you any longer! You two can continue your conversation!"

The study door slammed shut, sealing it tightly.

Wen Ni slowly turned her head back.

His gaze lingered on the two points on someone's chest for a few seconds before he quickly rolled his eyes and looked away!

He's not wearing little clothing at all; it's practically the same as wearing nothing at all!

"You're such a grown-up, how come you make a mess of your drink?" Lu Jinye lowered his hand that had been hovering in mid-air and wiped the milk stains off her lips.

So all I did was wipe her mouth?

Wen Ni raised an eyebrow inwardly, wondering why she had such a filthy thought just now.

Get rid of the mess in your mind

She quickly took the tissue and turned around, saying, "I can wipe myself. It's getting late, I'll go back to my room to tidy up, you should go to sleep early too!"

"Wen Ni," Lu Jinye suddenly called out.

"Um?"

"I……"

Hearing his drawn-out tone, she unconsciously held her breath.

"I heard that Caesar Perth was arrested and taken to the police station a while ago?" Lu Jinye's throat tightened, and he abruptly changed the subject.

Wen Ni also breathed a sigh of relief, her tone relaxed, "Yes, I personally took him in for questioning. I haven't had a chance to talk to you about this until now. The police didn't find anything unusual in his background check, but I want to confirm one last time whether he really has no connection with the Master, that is, Godfather Ipswich."

"How can we be sure?" Lu Jinye frowned.

"Does he have any gunshot scars on his lower back?"

"Leave this to me, I'll have Baron investigate!" Lu Jinye pondered for a moment.

"Alright." Wen Ni nodded, but without stopping, she went to open the door again.

I pressed the doorknob once, then pressed it harder, but I still couldn't open the door!

Just as she was wondering what was going on, she felt a tall figure approach from behind, put an arm around her, and press the doorknob on her!

She could see the firm muscles and prominent veins on his arms when she looked down; they exuded power.

"Can't you open it either?"

"The door is locked," Lu Jinye concluded.

Wen Ni tilted her head in confusion. "Your door can lock itself?"

"It might be broken. I'll call them to come open the door." Lu Jinye was about to take out his phone, but after feeling around, he realized that he was wearing pajamas and hadn't taken his phone out at all.

Coincidentally, Wen Ni didn't have her phone with her either.

"There's no need to go to such lengths." Now it all depends on Wen Ni. If she can be trapped so easily, then she's a special forces soldier for nothing!

She turned around, found a box of paperclips in the drawer, picked one up at random, and poked it into the keyhole twice.

She paused after making two sharp sounds.

"What's wrong?" Lu Jinye asked.

“The lock on your door is a bit special. If I force it open now, I’ll completely destroy it,” Wen Ni explained.

But this is the Lu residence after all, so she can't just take the door down like that!

“Actually, if we really can’t get out, we can…” Lu Jinye didn’t finish his sentence.

Wen Ni had already walked to the French windows and pulled back the gauze curtains!

"What are you planning to do?" Lu Jinye stood there watching her actions.

She had already nimbly opened a window that was reserved next to the French windows.

"Don't forget who I am! A mere second floor can't hold me!"

Wen Ni tilted her head at Lu Jinye, curled her lips with a wanton and confident smile, and then flipped herself over!

Lu Jinye's hand, which he had tried to use to stop her, remained frozen in mid-air.

Wen Ni has disappeared from the view outside the window!

His hand slowly clenched into a fist and hung at his side, a helpless smile playing on his lips. "What I was thinking was, is it possible that we could spend the night in the study, play chess, chat, read books, and then watch the sunrise together?"

Unfortunately, Wen Ni couldn't hear these murmurs at all.

It took her less than five seconds to climb down from the second-floor window.

He swaggered back into the house through the main gate and ran right into Aunt Liu, who was about to go back to her room to sleep!

Aunt Liu was clearly startled when she saw Wen Ni come in from outside!

"What the hell... Miss Wen Ni, how did you get in from outside? Wait a minute... when did you leave? I didn't see you at all?"
