Chapter 299 The Scene of Social Death
"You dare?"
"Tsk, my shoulder injury suddenly hurts so much!" Lu Jinye suddenly groaned dramatically, his arms suddenly sinking down. Wen Ni reflexively reached out an arm and tightly hugged his neck!
"Lu, Jin, Ye!"
"I'm here." Lu Jinye tightened his grip on her waist with satisfaction. "Let's go home."
A barely perceptible smile curved her thin lips.
In the dead of night, he brazenly carried Wen Ni out of the hospital!
The car stopped outside Lu Jinye's private villa.
When Wen Ni was being led out of the car by Lu Jinye, she bumped into Baron, who was coming out of the house to greet her.
Baron was carrying a bottle of wine, and Qin Yuan, who followed behind him, had a slightly flushed face from the alcohol!
Clearly, these two are having a drinking contest at home.
"See? I guessed right! Master Lu rushed out like that because he was going to see Miss Wen Ni~" Baron's tail was practically wagging in smugness. "Little Qin Yuan, you owe me a drink!"
"I owe you a drink? Did I agree to the bet? I owe you a beating, that's more like it!" Qin Yuan's tone became even harsher after drinking some alcohol.
"You're not happy, are you?" Baron gestured to Qin Yuan with the wine bottle, then put his arm around Qin Yuan's neck and walked into the living room. "Come on, let's keep drinking. Don't bother Master Lu and the others!"
"Get out of my way, get out of my way, don't touch me!"
The two of them disappeared through the door, bickering and arguing.
"Let's go, I'll show you the room." Lu Jinye naturally continued to hold Wen Ni's hand and went upstairs.
Wen Ni didn't shake him off, and just followed behind him. "No need to go to too much trouble, just give me any guest room."
“I don’t have any guest rooms in my house. This room is reserved for you, and it has a private bathroom.”
There were no guest rooms? Were they reserved for her?
She'd only stayed here once before, right? They've actually kept her room for her?
But that doesn't make sense either; the room she stayed in temporarily wasn't in this location...
"Come in."
"Um."
While he was thinking, Lu Jinye had already pushed open a door.
The room's decor was a stark contrast to the house's overall cool-toned, luxurious style; it was simple yet cozy. Wen Ni immediately felt that this room would be very comfortable to live in, at least it perfectly suited her style!
How did he know she would come to stay? And why did he prepare the room in advance?
Wen Ni had a lot of questions that she couldn't answer right away, so she decided to put them aside for the time being.
"You should go back and rest. I'm going to sleep too."
"Aren't you going to wash up?" Lu Jinye stood still, showing no intention of leaving.
"I can only change and wash up after you leave." Wen Ni said this before remembering that "my luggage is still in the dormitory."
“I’ve already sent someone to pick it up, but it’s okay even if you can’t bring your luggage.” Lu Jinye casually opened the bedroom wardrobe. “All the clothes in here are new, and they’re all your size.”
"My size??"
Wen Ni paused for three seconds, then raised her intact left hand and covered her chest.
She warily averted her suspicious gaze from Lu Jinye's open and honest face.
Looking inside the closet, there were all kinds of clothes, from dresses to suits, in all styles!
Why do you keep so many women's clothes here?
"I thought I might need it sometime, so I bought whatever looked nice, and before I knew it, I had saved up this much." Lu Jinye looked at her, his words seemingly carrying a deeper meaning.
Wen Ni paused slightly as she touched the fabric of the clothes.
It turns out it wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather something that had been planned beforehand.
She lowered her head and rubbed her nose uncomfortably, her voice muffled, "Okay, I understand, you can go now, I need to change my clothes!"
"Zu Li specifically instructed that you should not move your arm too much."
"Can't move? How am I supposed to change my clothes?"
As he spoke, Lu Jinye stood in front of Wen Ni, leaning down to whisper in her ear, "I'll help you..."
"Are you crazy?"
Wen Ni slapped his handsome face away.
"What's the rush? I haven't finished speaking yet." Lu Jinye took her wrist and continued slowly, "What I mean is, I've called an auntie over for you. During your recovery, she'll take care of your clothes, washing, and daily life."
"Why didn't you say so earlier? Who taught you to talk in such a breathy way?"
"Is it too late to say this now? Or are you planning to ask me for help?" Lu Jinye's upright and righteous demeanor did not seem like he was joking.
"roll."
Wen Ni's single-word order to expel guests has reappeared in the martial arts world.
She was expressionless and pushed Lu Jinye out by the back with one hand!
The door slammed shut.
Lu Jinye still had a faint smile on his lips. "Aunt Chen, go in and help her. Remember to talk less and do more."
"Okay, Mr. Lu!" Aunt Chen, who was waiting around the corner, came out, knocked on the door, and went inside.
After Wen Ni finished washing up, tidied up, and lay back in bed, she saw dozens of missed calls on her phone!
He frowned, then quickly perked up and dialed back.
"Hello? Xiaocheng, I'm sorry, something came up at school and I was delayed. I just saw your call now."
"What happened at school, sis? Are you alright?" Xiao Cheng's voice was worried.
"What could possibly happen to me? Don't worry, you guys... aren't asleep yet?" Wen Ni checked the time; it was already close to midnight.
"We thought you would come back tonight and have dinner with us. Uncle Xiao prepared a whole table of food, but we haven't been able to get in touch with you."
"I'm sorry, Xiao Cheng, could you please tell Boss Xiao and Brother Li that I'm sorry for wasting their good intentions?"
"Yes! But sister, are you really okay? You said before that you wouldn't hide anything from me anymore!" Xiao Cheng asked urgently.
"real."
Wen Ni looked down at her right arm, which was wrapped up in layers of cloth. "There's been a murder at school, and I need to assist with the investigation. After the investigation is finished, I won't have time to come home to see you all because I'm being recalled to the military for more than a month of training, which I also need to participate in. I'll see if I can find time to go home before school starts."
"Okay..." Xiao Cheng was a little disappointed.
“Xiao Cheng, you’ll be taking the college entrance exam this June. Leave everything at the shop to Boss Xiao and Brother Li. Focus on your studies and don’t get distracted.”
"Okay, I know. You should go to sleep early too, sister!" Wen Cheng replied obediently.
"good evening."
After hanging up the phone, Wen Ni relaxed and snuggled into the blankets.
The blanket was soft and comfortable, and she fell asleep almost immediately after closing her eyes.
Wen Ni didn't wake up until noon the next day, because she was hungry!
She lazily got out of bed, wearing a cotton nightgown that reached her knees, and swayed like a ghost, her eyelids drooping as she headed straight for the kitchen downstairs.
"Lu Jinye? Qin Yuan? Balun? Is anyone home? Do you have any food prepared? I'm hungry."
Her tone was casual, but she wasn't polite at all!
He poured himself a glass of water, turned around and was about to take a sip when, by sheer bad luck, he made eye contact with a group of people!
Next to the bar counter adjacent to the kitchen is a long table that can accommodate more than ten people to dine together! At this moment, both sides of the table are full of people.
Some are dressed in suits and ties, while others are dressed casually for everyday life.
There are young men in their twenties!
There were also middle-aged men in their forties and fifties with dignified and serious faces!
At this moment, they all turned around and looked at Wen Ni in unison, their eyes filled with the same scrutiny and obvious surprise!
