Chapter 441 Sleeping with My Boyfriend
"Me...?" Wen Ni was taken aback by his question, and the soft spot in her heart was filled with warmth again. She raised the corners of her lips and hugged his waist back. "You don't need to worry about me. I have comrades-in-arms, and Captain Lu will take care of me!"
“If that’s really the case, then I don’t think I resent him so much anymore.” Lu Jinye’s voice was hoarse, with a sigh of relief. “Although he didn’t fulfill his responsibilities as a father, he did protect you and others well…”
"Lu Jinye".
Wen Ni's eyes softened, and the hand on his waist tightened little by little. "I'm really happy that you think this way!"
"happy?"
Lu Jinye's fingers twirled her hair, his voice whispering in her ear, "Then why don't you take advantage of this good mood and explain to me what's going on with you taking your boyfriend to the spa? I didn't know you had an ex-boyfriend?"
"Not an ex-boyfriend, but a beacon tower."
“Beacon towers??” Lu Jinye raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, that's the day I went to see Caesar Perth to confirm some things. Feng Sui came with me. In order to conceal our identities and motives, the two of us pretended to be a couple to fool Caesar Perth!"
"Little liar." Lu Jinye looked down into her eyes. "Tell me, how did you two pretend to be a couple, and how did you make others believe it?"
"It's nothing, just feeding each other, holding hands, calling each other 'baby'..." Wen Ni started off quite frankly, but her voice trailed off as she spoke...
Because someone's smile seemed to be fading away.
"I haven't slept all night, I'm so tired, I want to sleep." Wen Ni realized she had said the wrong thing and took a step back, trying to push Lu Jinye away and find an excuse to escape the scene. "I'm going back to my room to sleep first. You can discuss the Caesar Perth matter after I wake up!"
"Go back to your room? Which room do you want to go back to?"
Lu Jinye suddenly raised his arm to block her way.
"Hmm? Didn't the Lu residence always have a room specifically reserved for me?" Wen Ni asked, puzzled.
"Your room has been unoccupied for a long time, the door has been locked and it hasn't been cleaned." Lu Jinye looked at her meaningfully. "Don't bother with anything, sleep here!"
"I don't mind the hassle, I... sigh!?"
Before Wen Ni could finish speaking, Lu Jinye swept her up in his arms!
"Put me down!"
"So, are you going to sleep here or not?"
"Sleep, sleep, sleep!" Wen Ni was truly exasperated with him and had no choice but to compromise, "Put me down first!"
"Okay." Lu Jinye finally let her go.
Wen Ni, who had been put down, casually kicked off her shoes and lay down on Lu Jinye's bed!
"Wait a minute," he suddenly stopped her.
"What now?" she glared at him impatiently.
"You've been in contact with dead bodies, and there were explosions and gunshots today. You're covered in gunpowder..." Lu Jinye tried to be tactful, but he couldn't be tactful at all. "Aren't you going to take a hot shower? Change your clothes before you go to sleep?"
"Oh, sorry, it's a habit." Wen Ni stood up, patted his brand-new bedding, and asked earnestly, "Did you get it dirty?"
Whether on a mission or during military training, conditions are often harsh. When you're really tired and sleepy, who cares about cleanliness? It's common to fall asleep immediately, covered in sweat!
“I didn’t mean to look down on you, I just feel sorry for you. At the same age, other girls are all glamorous and carefully dressed up, but you are walking in the smoke of war and being tempered in mountains of corpses and seas of blood…” Lu Jinye’s eyes were filled with tenderness and pity as he looked at her. “But now you have me. With me, you only need to be a little girl who is loved!”
"I see."
Wen Ni felt flustered and confused under his gaze.
She quickly turned away, not daring to look him in the eye. "I... I don't have any clean clothes."
"I'll have someone bring it over later!"
"oh."
Wen Ni waited for a while, but saw that he still hadn't moved.
She turned her head and stared at him, then pointed a finger at the door and said, "You, aren't you going out?! I want to take a shower."
"I'm your boyfriend." He said frankly.
"roll!"
He was thick-skinned, and Wen Ni didn't stand on ceremony with him.
"My hand is still injured, please be gentle..."
"Bang!"
As the door slammed shut, Lu Jinye, before he could finish feigning weakness, was mercilessly thrown out!
He stood with his hands on his hips in front of the cold door, and awkwardly touched his nose. He turned around and bumped into Qin Yuan coming upstairs. He cleared his throat uncomfortably, tidied his hair, and turned to lean against the wall, pretending to take out a cigarette!
A bunch of feints, making him look incredibly busy.
"Mr. Lu, why did Miss Wen Ni kick you out?"
"..."
Lu Jinye raised his eyes coldly and said, "Who told you I was kicked out? I just came out for a smoke."
"Oh." Qin Yuan munched on corn, her eyes innocent and clear. "But I saw you rummaging around for ages and didn't find anything. I have a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes here, why don't you use that for now?"
Lu Jinye was too lazy to argue with him about the topic anymore, so he asked instead, "Where did you get the corn in your hand?"
"This? Butler Xu downstairs arranged breakfast in advance. Xi Yun and Hua Zhuo are eating in the restaurant now!" Qin Yuan said, taking another bite. It looked quite delicious.
"Hua Zhuo is here too? Perfect, I also have something to discuss with them." Lu Jinye took a few steps forward with one hand in his pocket, then suddenly stopped and turned back to stare at Qin Yuan. "Also, I did come out for a smoke just now. To punish you for always talking nonsense and being outspoken, I'm fining you another month's salary."
"Huh? What??"
Qin Yuan suddenly felt that the corn in her hand didn't smell good at all!
Oh well, let them punish me then, I'm used to it.
Anyway, he still has Baron the dog to fall back on, so he won't starve.
Thinking this, Qin Yuan became happy again, humming a little tune as she followed Lu Jinye downstairs.
In Lu Jinye's bedroom.
Hearing the footsteps outside the door disappear, Wen Ni calmed herself down and turned to go into the bathroom.
Take off your clothes and turn on the shower.
A mist filled the semi-enclosed space, mingling with the faint, fresh scent of soap in the air—the scent that belonged to Lu Jinye…
Damn it, why did I think of him again while I was taking a shower?
Before we were officially in a relationship, I never felt this awkward about some intimate or boundary-crossing actions! Why do I feel this way now...?
This is so annoying, so incredibly annoying!
Wen Ni's cheeks flushed red, and she quickly closed her eyes, letting the cool water stream wash over her face!
But the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curve upwards.
After she finished showering
Brand new underwear and a white shirt nightgown that reached to the knees had been placed on the bed.
"That feels so good~"
I changed into my new pajamas and lay down in bed.
She hugged the blanket that smelled of Lu Jinye and fell into a deep sleep.
Wen Ni slept straight through until 2 PM.
Feeling refreshed, she got up, casually tied her hair into a bun, slipped on her slippers, and went straight down the stairs to the restaurant.
Hearing the commotion, Butler Xu, who was directing operations in the kitchen, turned around with a smile. "Miss Wen Ni is awake? I'll have someone heat up your food right away!"
"Thank you for your help, Butler Xu."
Wen Ni pulled out a chair and sat down, looking around. "Where are Lu Jinye and my cousin?"
"Master Lu, Young Master Zhuo, and President Xi are discussing matters in the study on the second floor. This is corn that Master Lu specially asked me to save for you. It's sweet, sticky, and delicious!" Butler Xu brought up the sweet corn that had been kept warm.
"Yes, thank you, Butler Xu."
Wen Ni picked up a piece, and the sweet taste filled her mouth; it was indeed very delicious.
She was enjoying her meal when she suddenly heard someone talking.
The sound was coming from the main entrance on the first floor.
"Aunt Liu, is Brother Lu Jinye home? Or, Lu Jinbai would be fine too~"
The woman's voice was crisp and clear, and somewhat familiar. Wen Ni felt like she had heard it somewhere before.
