Chapter 454 Home is part of the country
"..."
If one's aura were tangible, the resentment emanating from Lu Jinye at this moment might be even darker than that of the people from Feizhou.
"Master Lu! Let me go get you a new pair of chopsticks!" Qin Yuan seized the opportunity and quickly withdrew from the battlefield.
"These pig's trotters are delicious!"
Although Xiao Cheng didn't dare to say a word, she still risked her life to give her clueless older sister a vague answer.
Hua Zhuo joined in the fun, "Yes, yes, yes! Try this pig's trotter! It's so delicious!"
They quickly and tried to change the subject without leaving a trace.
They chatted from one neighbor to another, and a meal could last from noon until sunset.
Hua Baichuan and his friends were still drinking and chatting at the table.
Lu Jinye stood before the glass, holding a glass of red wine in one hand, gazing at the setting sun casting a pale yellow glow. His shadow fell to the ground, appearing lonely and desolate.
Wen Ni slowly walked to his side, holding a wine glass.
With her back to the glass, she idly poked at the marble floor with her toes, her gaze shifting from the noisy dining table to Lu Jinye's melancholy profile!
"Hello."
“?” Lu Jinye wrinkled his nose and ignored her.
"Lu Jinye?"
"……"silence.
"Konano? Nono?"
Ye Ye? Grandpa? What kind of address is that?
Lu Jinye picked up his wine glass and took a swig.
"relative……?"
Lu Jinye waited for a long time, but didn't hear the words "[darling]". He finally couldn't help but ask, "What do you want to say?"
"I was just saying, Captain Lu is currently stationed at headquarters and isn't on missions." Wen Ni turned to the side, tilting her head slightly with a hint of teasing as she stared at Lu Jinye. "Why don't you go find him and challenge him to a fight?"
“Although I have many grievances against him,” Lu Jinye said in a deep voice, “I don’t want to see him right now.”
"Are you afraid you can't beat him?"
"I really can't beat him," Lu Jinye readily admitted.
"It's alright, I'll teach you a couple of moves when I have time, specifically to target Captain Lu's weaknesses!" Wen Ni said, gesturing as she spoke, the wine in her glass swaying. "But don't tell him I taught him; he holds grudges a lot, like last time with Song Yanfeng..."
"Wen Ni".
He abruptly interrupted her unusual chatter, finally unable to resist turning to look at her. He saw her cheeks flushed, her lips still smeared with red wine, looking exquisitely beautiful! So alluring, it was almost sinful.
"Have you had too much to drink?"
"I didn't!"
Wen Ni shook her head, her back hitting the glass.
Lu Jinye placed his hand on the back of her head first, protecting her from her slight recklessness.
This pose looks like a wall slam...
They were so close that the smell of alcohol emanating from her assaulted his nostrils, arousing his senses!
He lowered his eyes and stared at her slightly tipsy and charming face.
After a long pause, he asked in a deep voice a question that had been lingering in his mind for a long time.
"Wen Ni, you seem quite happy about leaving me for so long and going to school in Hong Kong alone?"
"Of course I'm happy~ Isn't it a good thing to be able to study at a top university?"
Wen Ni smiled, her eyes crinkling. Perhaps it was because she had been drinking, but her tone was cheerful and she talked a lot more!
"To be honest, I haven't had much experience in business management. Even when I opened my shop before, it was thanks to your and Boss Xiao's help that Baoxiangzhai reached its current scale. And the hotel that's opening after the New Year is the same; I'm just providing the capital. The management will still rely on Brother Li and Xiao Cheng."
“Besides that…” Wen Ni paused for a moment.
"Why don't you continue?" Lu Jinye asked.
"besides……"
Wen Ni's hand suddenly climbed up his collar and pulled it down, making his head droop even lower! His thin lips seemed to touch the tip of her nose, and their breaths mingled!
She turned her head, looking at Lu Jinye's handsome profile so close to hers. Her tone was soft, filled with an unprecedented tenderness and intoxication, "Although since we met, you've always been in business and I've been in the military, I still hope that one day in the future, I can help you in any way I can..."
She clearly didn't say a single word about love.
Yet every word she said made him feel overflowing love!
My heart skipped a beat, and I was already feeling awkward!
Lu Jinye stared blankly, overwhelmed by a torrent of emotions that left him at a loss. He gently touched her cheek, his fingertips tracing her features.
There was joy, but even more so, heartache.
“Wen Ni, I’ve said it before, you don’t need to compromise or change anything because of me. Just go your own way, and everything else…”
"You can handle the rest."
Wen Ni playfully picked up where he left off.
Her bright and flamboyant smile was dazzling in his eyes!
"But Lu Jinye, there has never been any reason for you to always protect me. What do you mean by you carrying all the burdens while I can just freely pursue my ideals? That was just youthful, unrealistic idealism! Now I understand more clearly that you can't be that selfish when you truly love someone... Since we've chosen to be together, we won't be fighting alone anymore! Instead, no matter what we face, we should join hands and fight side by side."
She always surprised and amazed him like this.
Brilliant and dazzling, independent and clear-headed!
“I’m so happy that you think that way!” Lu Jinye’s eyes, which seemed to sparkle with light, were filled with her, and his hand on her waist tightened little by little. “But I still want to do everything I can to protect your faith, so that you can concentrate on the things you’re dedicated to.”
“My beliefs are unwavering, and you are included in my beliefs.” Wen Ni tiptoed, her lips brushing against his earlobe, hot and burning. “Home is part of the country, and has always been indispensable…”
"Home……"
A look of wild joy flashed in Lu Jinye's eyes.
Her cheeks were lifted by his warm palms.
She felt her body being pulled closer to him, as if she were about to merge into him in the next second...
"Wen Ni, I want to hear you say it again."
Which sentence?
"That last sentence."
"Lu Jinye..." Wen Ni wrapped her arms around his neck, "Will we have a home together in the future?"
"Yes." Lu Jinye sighed softly, his eyes filled with tenderness, and he gave her a very affirmative answer.
"Hmm...it's a bit hard to imagine, but it doesn't seem too bad to me," Wen Ni murmured. "However, is it a bit far off to talk about this now?"
“Not far.” Lu Jinye looked at her intently. “Wait a little longer, it will be faster than you think.”
"What if you fall in love with someone else during this time?"
"I won't."
"What if I like someone else... um!"
His rambling, alcohol-smelling mouth was sealed with a passionate kiss!
Her hand, which was resting on his chest, gradually loosened.
"You dare."
She heard him say that.
This kiss came with intense passion.
The group of people eating and chatting at the table had actually been paying attention to the two people in the corner for a long time.
Seeing this, they quickly turned around and raised their glasses, pretending to be very busy!
