Jian Ruoxi waited for three days but didn't receive a reply from Ran Jie, which made her a little worried.
Is that paparazzi really that well hidden? Even Ran Jie couldn't find him?
She kept this matter on her mind, so she called Ran Jie.
"Ran Jie, is there any progress on that paparazzi matter?"
"We have news."
Ran Jie's voice sounded unusually tired, as if he had just fought a battle.
He had this feeling every time he finished talking to Lu Shen.
Where is that paparazzi right now? Is it possible to get in touch with him?
Once we find the person, everything else will be much easier.
Ran Jie sighed, "He's with Lu Shen. If you want to talk to the paparazzi, you'll have to go to him."
Lu Shen? What does this have to do with him?
Finally, Ran Jie said almost pleadingly, "Ruoxi, from now on, you and Lu Shen should resolve any issues yourselves."
"Please don't involve me, and don't give me extra work."
Who could stand being suddenly pulled like this by Lu Shen?
He wanted to live two more years.
"That's all for now. I need to take a break. You can handle the paparazzi issue yourself."
After hanging up the phone, Jian Ruoxi frowned.
The paparazzi are with Lu Shen, which is going to be difficult.
Is there any way to bypass Lu Shen and contact the paparazzi?
She sat in her room all day thinking but couldn't come up with a suitable solution.
"Miss Jian, dinner is ready." The head maid gently knocked on Jian Ruoxi's door.
In the huge restaurant, only Jian Ruoxi was eating.
She was still a little unaccustomed to it.
In her old home, she, Lu Jin, and Ali would always eat together, which was lively and fun.
After arriving here, Lu Shen often didn't see anyone, so he inevitably felt a bit lonely.
"Lu Shen hasn't returned yet?" she asked the head maid beside her.
"Young Master seems to be returning a little late today. Miss Jian, is there something you need from him? Should we call and ask?" the head maid asked tentatively.
This was the first time Miss Jian had asked about the young master since she moved in.
Young Master would be very happy if he knew.
"No, no need."
Call Lu Shen? What does she want to say?
Just ask the paparazzi if he's with them.
She had a lot of questions, but the thought of facing Lu Shen made her a little scared.
"Young Master!" The servant at the door respectfully welcomed Lu Shen in.
Didn't the head maid just say he was working overtime? Why is he back so early?
The head maid was slightly surprised, but she didn't show it on her face.
She realized that whenever the young master acted unusually, it was always related to Miss Jian.
"Young master, here are your bowl and chopsticks."
There's no need to ask; the young master arrived just in time, probably wanting to have dinner with Miss Jian.
"Hmm." Lu Shen nodded in satisfaction and sat down opposite Jian Ruoxi.
The two sat facing each other as they ate, and a long silence fell over the restaurant.
At this moment, even though they hadn't said a word to each other, Lu Shen was already very satisfied.
There was supposed to be a meeting at the company, but because they were worried that she might not feel comfortable eating alone, they postponed the meeting until tomorrow.
"Why hasn't Ruoxi asked about the paparazzi yet?"
Didn't he already instruct Ran Jie to tell her about it?
Has Ran Jie not had a chance to speak yet?
He was eager to come back and find a reason, waiting for Jian Ruoxi to come to him on her own initiative.
"Um, I'm full, I'll go upstairs now."
Jian Ruoxi fled upstairs and closed the door as quickly as possible.
Standing at the door, she kept patting her chest to catch her breath.
"No, I still can't bring myself to say it."
It seems impossible to ask Lu Shen directly. How about trying to do it through someone else?
Lu Shen stared at the empty chair opposite him, his hand unconsciously clenching into a fist.
Is it really that difficult to get her to reach out to me?
The maidservant, who was always by Lu Shen's side, was the one who could best sense the sudden drop in temperature emanating from the young master.
The servants standing around had begun to tremble uncontrollably.
They were afraid that the young master would lose his temper at this moment.
"Young Master, Miss Jian was just asking about you?"
Upon hearing Jian Ruoxi's earlier question about him, Lu Shen instantly concealed his terrifying aura.
His eyes were full of anticipation.
The head maid smiled, "As expected, mentioning the young mistress is the most effective way to get things going."
"It was during dinner when the young mistress asked me when you would be back."
"I see that the young mistress still thinks of you."
Lu Shen's mood improved considerably, and the slight displeasure he felt earlier because Jian Ruoxi hadn't initiated a conversation with him dissipated.
"I'll come back earlier to have dinner with her from now on."
Give her some time; maybe she'll contact me in a couple of days to ask about the paparazzi.
On the first day, he came home early to have dinner with Jian Ruoxi, but she didn't say a word.
The next day, he spent half the day at home, and Jian Ruoxi remained as calm as ever.
It's as if he doesn't exist in the house.
Later, he simply stopped going to the company and stayed at home all day, hanging around Jian Ruoxi whenever he had nothing to do.
"Young Master Lu, are you really bored? Can you please stop hovering around me?"
It shook her head until it hurt.
"Don't you have anything to say to me?"
"Or is there anything you want to ask me?"
For three days in a row, he waited for Jian Ruoxi to take the initiative, but nothing came of it.
He was the one who was suffering even more.
He even suspected that Ruoxi had given up on finding a paparazzi and wasn't planning to fight back.
"No, I'm very comfortable living in the house. There's nothing broken that needs fixing. What could I possibly need the landlord for?"
She deliberately emphasized the word "landlord" to distance herself from any relationship between them.
Landlord? She really thinks of herself as a tenant.
Which tenant talks to their landlord like that?
"I need to go back to my room, could you please let me through?"
Seeing Lu Shen's face every three days is really getting annoying.
She hadn't figured out how to bypass Lu Shen to find the paparazzi's exact location, yet he just happened to be around her every day.
Even if there is a plan, it cannot be implemented.
Lu Shen couldn't quite figure out Jian Ruoxi's thoughts, so he specifically asked Ran Jie about it.
Did Ruoxi mention hiring paparazzi to you later?
Ran Jie was getting a massage when Lu Shen brought up the same issue again, and his good mood instantly vanished by half.
"Young Master Lu, why are you still fixated on this issue?"
“I swear to God, Ruoxi never contacted me again, nor did she say a word about the paparazzi.”
"Have you two not reached an agreement yet?"
Why is Ruoxi so patient this time?
This was somewhat unexpected for him.
Does she have some other plans of her own?
Ran Jie didn't voice his doubts; compared to Lu Shen, he was still on Ruoxi's side.
“She didn’t contact me.” Lu Shen’s tone even carried a hint of resentment.
Did he misjudge Ruoxi's thoughts?
"Hahaha!" Ran Jie couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.
I never expected that Young Master Lu had this side to him. Ruoxi should really take a good look at him.
