From the moment the man approached her, she knew who he was.
She didn't think of escaping from Lu Shen's embrace; she only felt that at this moment, the whole world was not as safe as his arms.
"Just for a little while, I want to cherish this little while," Jian Ruoxi told herself over and over again.
In order to avoid falling into the hands of a greasy middle-aged man, she tried her best to appear calm, strong, and resourceful, but all of that crumbled the moment Lu Shen walked in.
She just wanted to stay by his side, even if only for a moment, to regain peace of mind.
No matter how long they were apart, she seemed to feel much more at ease whenever he was around.
Lu Shen sensed that the woman in his arms was gradually calming down, so he gently released her. Only then did he see that she was still holding a shard of broken porcelain in her hand, as if she couldn't feel any pain.
"Ruoxi, let go of her hand first," Lu Shen gently advised her.
Seeing that Jian Ruoxi still hadn't reacted, Lu Shen slowly pried open her left hand. "Be good, give me the porcelain shard. I'm here, nothing will happen."
Hearing Lu Shen's words, Jian Ruoxi slowly released her hand.
Because he had gripped her hand too tightly, Jian Ruoxi's entire hand was covered in cuts and bleeding, which pained Lu Shen.
"I'll take you home to rest first." She really couldn't continue attending the banquet in her condition.
"Go home?" Jian Ruoxi looked dazed, unable to recall where her home was.
"Yes, I'll take you back to our home first."
Lu Shen called A-Jie and the others to come in, saying, "Get the car ready. I need to take Ruoxi back to my private villa first."
As soon as Ah Jie entered, he smelled the blood throughout the room, and when he saw the young mistress's injured hand, he instantly understood what had happened.
He pointed to the middle-aged man lying on the ground and said, "Young master, what should we do with this man?"
It looks like she just fainted. She bled quite a bit, but there shouldn't be any danger to her life.
"Do whatever you want with it, just don't leave any loose ends or give anyone any leverage over you."
"Remember to tell Ran Jie that I will take Ruoxi home first, and he can walk home by himself later."
Lu Shencai didn't care whether the man on the ground lived or died. If Ruoxi's mental state wasn't so bad right now, he would have loved to shoot her right then and there and send her to meet her maker.
Anyone who dares to mess with him should take a good look at how many lives they have left.
He put his arm around Jian Ruoxi's shoulder and walked outside.
After the car had been driving for a while, Jian Ruoxi finally came to her senses and remembered to ask Lu Shen how the middle-aged man was doing.
"Is that person dead?"
Although he wished that man would die right now, he couldn't bear to say it when he saw Jian Ruoxi's current state.
"Don't worry, you only knocked him unconscious; he's not in any danger."
Jian Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Lu Shen gently placed her head on his shoulder. "Rest for a while. I'll call you when it's time to go home."
"Mmm." Jian Ruoxi had just leaned on Lu Shen's shoulder when she immediately fell asleep.
She was definitely exhausted today.
Seeing the even breathing of the person beside him, Lu Shen smiled with satisfaction.
He could sense that Ruoxi's dependence on him in that room just now was genuine.
And he would be much happier because she was by his side.
"Ruoxi, you have no idea how fortunate I am right now."
"I'm so glad I finally found you."
Ah Jie had several bodyguards carry the middle-aged man lying on the ground away first, and then cleaned up the room.
Before long, the room was as brand new as ever, as if nothing had ever happened.
"Alright, let's find someone to treat that fat pig first. Just make sure he wakes up; no need for medicine."
Perhaps keeping him around will be of some use to our young master.
After restoring everything to its original state, A-Jie went to the venue and found Ran-Jie, who was still talking with those business tycoons.
"Ran Jie, let's talk in private."
A-Jie took Ran-Jie to a secluded place and whispered to Ran-Jie what Lu-Shen had told him.
"What? You mean Ruoxi ran away with Lu Shen?"
Ah Jie looked up at the sky speechlessly and kindly reminded him.
"If you're worried that the people in the room won't be able to hear you, you can actually speak a little louder."
"I guarantee that tomorrow's headlines will be full of your artists' names."
Ran Jie quickly covered his mouth, but his eyes were still filled with shock.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he quietly asked A-Jie.
"No, why did Ruoxi leave with Lu Shen all of a sudden? Did they get back together?"
Ah Jie couldn't bear to look at Ran Jie's gossipy eyes. As an agent, was it really appropriate to be so gossipy?
"Our young mistress and young master will get back together sooner or later." Ah Jie was very confident about this. "Why ask so many questions? Didn't you miss the target last time?"
Ran Jie was startled and took a step back, staring intently at A Jie's movements, afraid that he would take out the silent pistol.
"I'm warning you, this is a meeting place, so don't cause any trouble."
Ah Jie was too lazy to pay attention to him; anyway, he had already delivered the message and completed his mission.
Ran Jie only realized what had happened after A-Jie left.
"You still haven't told me when Jian Ruoxi is coming back."
The only response he received was Ah Jie's retreating figure.
Meanwhile, Lu Shen had brought Jian Ruoxi to his private villa.
"Young Master, we've arrived."
As soon as the driver finished speaking, Lu Shen gestured to him with his eyes to keep his voice down.
Immediately afterwards, he picked Jian Ruoxi up and carried her into the hall.
When the servants saw Lu Shen carrying the sleeping Jian Ruoxi, they all put down what they were doing and stood silently to the side, afraid of disturbing Jian Ruoxi.
Lu Shen carefully placed Jian Ruoxi in his bedroom and instructed the servant, "Go and fetch a doctor."
Soon, the doctor was brought by the servants, and at Lu Shen's request, he gave Jian Ruoxi a full-body examination.
"Don't worry, young master. The young mistress is just tired. Apart from the deep wound on her hand, she's fine."
"The baby is healthy too." He discovered during his checkup that the young mistress was three months pregnant.
"Will the wounds on your hands leave scars?" Lu Shen still felt a pang of heartache looking at the wounds of varying sizes.
She will continue filming, and if she has a scar on her hand, it may affect her acting career.
The doctor assured Lu Shen, "Young Master, don't worry, I have a special medicine here that will definitely not leave the young mistress with a scar."
"Where's the medicine?"
Upon hearing Lu Shao's question, the doctor quickly handed Lu Shen the medicine that had been prepared in advance.
The doctor initially thought Lu Shen was just having a check-up, but unexpectedly, he later personally inquired about the usage and precautions of the medicine.
"Alright, you can go out now, I'll apply the medicine for her."
The doctor glanced at the butler behind him, who nodded at him, before the doctor turned and left.
The young master actually took the initiative to apply medicine for the young mistress; this has never been seen before.
