Chapter 98 Testing
"Who can turn down money?"
Wen Ni put the peeled shrimp into Xiao Cheng's bowl, then smiled and looked into Lu Jinye's eyes.
"Besides, Mr. Lu, you're handsome and have a great figure. Just standing there, you look like a delicate little figurine. You're so pleasing to the eye, I haven't had enough of looking at you!"
It was only Lu Jinye who could get her cold and sharp-tongued mouth to say so many pleasant things; she must have used up all her good deeds for the year.
"However... although I didn't get enough of it." After praising her, she changed the subject, "I've never heard of any college student working part-time as a bodyguard for a celebrity, and besides, I have to study, so I don't have the time."
She didn't want to waste this rare moment of freedom and ease.
At least Lu Jinye was in a good mood because of her praise!
His lips curled up slightly, and he forgot his earlier displeasure.
"Speaking of which, I really want to thank Mr. Lu for taking care of my sister and for helping us during this time!"
Xiao Cheng picked up her drink and, imitating the adults, solemnly toasted Lu Jinye.
Lu Jinye also raised his glass and nodded to him, indicating that Wen Ni had also helped him a lot.
"Xiao Cheng, you don't need to be so polite with him. He owes me several lives." Wen Ni casually picked up her chopsticks. "I'm afraid I can never repay him in this lifetime."
“It’s alright, we can pay it back in this life, there’s always the next.” Lu Jinye replied seriously.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect Mr. Lu to be so humorous!" Everyone burst into laughter.
Wen Ni raised an eyebrow and looked over.
His eyes seemed to say, "What, you're planning to cling to me in the next life?!"
Lu Jinye smiled.
“Things have finally settled down recently, and Boss Wen is back. Shall we go to the store tomorrow?” Xiao Weilai suggested, turning his head.
"I'm at ease leaving the shop in your hands. From now on, whenever he has free time, let Xiaocheng follow you around and learn more about the business!"
Wen Ni smiled and declined, "Besides, I might have to go on a long trip in the next day or two."
"Are you leaving again? Where are you going this time? You still look very weak. Why don't you stay home and rest?" Li Yuanchang said anxiously.
They disappeared for a month without a trace, which really scared Wen Ni!
"I'm going to see one of my comrades."
"What comrade-in-arms? It's not that young man Song you brought home last time, is it?"
"What, Brother Song? Is he Boss Wen's boyfriend?"
Faced with their barrage of wildly imaginative questions, Wen Ni simply smiled faintly and shook her head without saying a word.
Lu Jinye glanced at her indifferently, then thoughtfully picked up the wine in his glass, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.
As night deepened, the family gathering drew to a close.
Wen Ni put on a coat and went downstairs to see Lu Jinye off.
He seemed to be in a good mood tonight, having drunk quite a bit, and his handsome face was flushed with a slight intoxication.
Even walking became a little unsteady and shaky?
"careful!"
Seeing that he was about to crash into the glass door, Wen Ni frowned and reminded him, while gently tugging at his arm.
Unexpectedly, he pressed down as if he had no bones!
She instinctively caught him again, wrapping her arms firmly around his waist, while his chin rested on her shoulder.
The strong smell of alcohol made Wen Ni feel somewhat intoxicated!
Looking at the reflection of their intimate embrace on the glass door, she suddenly thought of that night in the drug rehabilitation center…
"Lu Jinye, are you really drunk?" she blurted out.
"And what about you?"
His deep voice was very close to mine: "You really don't remember anything about what happened that night at the drug rehabilitation center?"
"Drug rehabilitation center...which night? What happened?" Wen Ni's heart skipped a beat, but she remained calm and composed on the surface, pretending to be clueless.
Lu Jinye slowly turned his head, his eyes were clear and there was not a trace of drunkenness in them!
He leaned slightly closer to her face, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, he suddenly stopped when their lips were just a finger's width apart, feeling their breaths mingling, an atmosphere of intense intimacy!
Faced with his sudden approach, Wen Ni did not dodge or even take a step back.
“Since you can’t remember…” Lu Jinye’s eyes suddenly darkened, and he placed his left hand on the back of her head. “Then let me help you remember?”
"Um?"
She had just uttered a questioning sound.
The handsome face of the man in front of her was already close!
Her index finger touched his lips first!
The clear touch burned her fingers with the intense heat of his lips, like a raging fire that scorched her heart and made it burn too!
"Wait! You don't have to go to such lengths to help me remember! Besides, I didn't kiss your lips that night; I just accidentally kissed your cheek." Her eyes were bright, reason prevailing, and she repeatedly emphasized, "No! Care! !"
"Now that I remember, don't you?" Lu Jinye lowered his eyelids and muttered meaningfully, "However, you really didn't remember at the right time..."
"Lu Jinye, you've had too much to drink."
"No, I am perfectly sober."
He uttered a low voice and raised his hand to grasp her wrist, which was in the way.
Keep moving forward!
Until she was backed against the wall, with nowhere left to retreat.
She looked at him, her eyes showing no panic or hesitation, but the palms resting on either side of his narrow waist unconsciously tightened...
His eyes were like those of a fierce lion, extremely aggressive.
She vaguely sensed something, but couldn't confirm it or respond to it!
In the ensuing silence as they stared at each other, the motion-activated light in front of the door suddenly went out.
When it lights up again
The impulsiveness and lack of composure I felt earlier have vanished.
Lu Jinye took a step back and released her hand.
"Have you ever had someone you liked?" he suddenly asked.
"No……"
Wen Ni was taken aback at first, then fell into silent contemplation.
Like? What does it mean to like someone? She didn't know.
Cai Wenyou had asked her similar questions, but she had never seriously considered them.
To be precise, she never imagined she would fall in love with anyone...
"It seems you don't even understand it yourself..."
Lu Jinye's handsome face was framed by a pair of deep black eyes that were focused and absorbed in his gaze, his emotions so complex that she couldn't understand them.
"What happened that night was because I wasn't thinking clearly, please don't misunderstand." Wen Ni turned her face away, refusing to look at him.
He seemed to chuckle softly, somewhat displeased. "Just a misunderstanding...?"
"Mr. Lu, I've brought the car over, you..."
The glass door was suddenly pulled open at an inopportune moment, and it was Qin Yuan who had returned with his car.
"What's wrong, Mr. Lu? Are you in a bad mood?" He was grinning.
After laughing for a while, I belatedly realized that something seemed off.
"It's alright, he's drunk. Take him home and let him rest early."
Wen Ni pulled Lu Jinye's arm and pushed him next to Qin Yuan, then turned around and stood in front of the elevator door.
"..." Qin Yuan cautiously stole a glance at Master Lu's expression.
Tsk, this is bad. Why does this place feel so eerie and like it's about to kill someone?
