Chapter 197 The two recognize each other
Just as Li Ruochu and Ji Wuchen were immersed in the treatment process, hurried footsteps were heard outside the room.
Then, Sophia pushed the door open and walked in in a panic.
She originally wanted to tell them that the young master of the Pei family had arrived.
But when her eyes fell on the densely packed needles on Ji Wuchen's legs, Sophia's steps suddenly stopped, a trace of fear flashed across her face, and her body trembled unconsciously.
Although she has gradually gotten used to seeing Li Ruchu giving Ji Wuchen acupuncture in the past few days.
But every time she saw those slender silver needles piercing deeply into the skin, she still felt a tingling sensation on her scalp, as if those needles were piercing her body.
"What's going on? Why did you come in in a panic again?" Li Ruochu was startled by Sophia's recklessness. He frowned slightly, turned to look at her with a hint of blame in his eyes.
"The young master of the Pei family is here and wants to invite our young lady to go down!" Sophia's voice trembled slightly, and there was a hint of evasion in her eyes, as if she didn't dare to look directly at the needle on Ji Wuchen's leg, and she seemed to be afraid of the arrival of the young master of the Pei family.
As she spoke, she subconsciously took a small step back, as if that would keep her away from the needles.
When Li Ruochu heard this, he stopped what he was doing and stood there in a daze.
Her brows were furrowed tightly, her eyes full of confusion and dissatisfaction: "What's going on with this Pei guy? Why does he want to see me again and again?"
She really couldn't understand why Pei Sihuai was so persistent in meeting her, and she couldn't help feeling uneasy.
"It doesn't matter. He is in our Ji's house now. Even if he comes, he won't dare to do anything casually!"
Ji Wuchen saw that Li Ruochu looked a little worried, and quickly whispered to comfort him.
His eyes revealed determination and calmness, trying to reassure Li Ruochu.
Ji Wuchen was also full of doubts, wondering what this Pei guy wanted to do by suddenly coming here.
He had already planned to marry someone from the Long family. In a sense, they were also enemies of the Ji family. Pei Sihuai must have had no good intentions by coming here at this time.
"I'll go down and take a look!" Li Ruochu said after a moment of silence. She knew that escaping was not a solution. Since Pei Sihuai came to her, she wanted to see what he wanted to do.
After saying that, she began to carefully remove the needles from Ji Wuchen's body. Her movements were gentle and skillful. Every time she pulled out a needle, she checked it carefully to make sure there was no residue left.
After the treatment, Ji Wuchen reached out and gently pulled Li Ruochu's sleeve.
His eyes were full of concern, and he said seriously: "Be careful down there. If anything goes wrong, I will send someone to protect you immediately!"
He secretly made up his mind that he would never let Li Ruchu suffer any harm in the Ji family.
"Thank you!" Li Ruochu looked at Ji Wuchen gratefully and nodded slightly.
Then, she took a deep breath and turned to walk downstairs. She was secretly glad that she had not removed her makeup, otherwise she would have to spend time dressing up again, which would have been a hassle.
She straightened her back, took firm steps, and her eyes revealed a hint of fearlessness, ready to face the unknown challenges that were about to come.
Li Ruochu walked downstairs with steady steps. As soon as he appeared, Li Mingzhu hurried to greet him.
She grabbed her hand anxiously, her tone full of worry: "Pei Sihuai said he wanted to see you alone. If you don't want to, I'll send him away right away!"
Li Mingzhu stared at Li Ruochu, as if she could see the slightest reluctance in her expression. As long as Li Ruochu hesitated, she would drive Pei Sihuai away without hesitation.
After hearing this, Li Ruochu was stunned for a moment, and many thoughts flashed through his mind quickly.
Then, as if she suddenly thought of something, she showed a soothing smile on her face and gently comforted Li Mingzhu: "It's okay, since he wants to see me alone, and this is our home, he won't do anything to me! I'll just go over to see him!"
Li Ruochu knew in his heart that hiding blindly was not a good idea.
At this time, Li Mingzhu had already arranged Pei Sihuai in the independent reception room outside the villa.
Li Ruochu took a deep breath, straightened his back, and walked directly towards that direction with firm steps.
Li Mingzhu looked at Li Ruchu's receding back and felt uneasy.
She thought for a moment, called the housekeeper, and whispered, "Go call a few more bodyguards and have them guard outside the reception room. If they hear any unusual movement inside, go in and rescue the young lady immediately!"
After receiving the order, the butler quickly arranged for personnel. After a while, several burly and serious-looking bodyguards quietly came to the outside of the reception room and stood guard vigilantly around it.
Li Ruochu came to the front of the reception room and gently pushed open the door. The light in the room was soft, but he didn't see anyone inside.
She frowned slightly, feeling even more confused, but not panicked.
She closed the door gently, then raised her voice and shouted to the seemingly empty room: "Feng Yizhou, come out!" The voice echoed in the room with a hint of certainty.
The next second, Feng Yizhou flashed out from the corner of the room like a ghost, took a few steps forward, and hugged Li Ruchu tightly from behind.
His embrace was warm and strong, as if he wanted to rub Li Ruochu into his body. "How did you know it was me!"
His voice was low and slightly surprised, and his hot breath sprayed on Li Ruochu's neck.
I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been tense and nervous for a while, but when I heard this familiar man’s voice, Li Ruochu’s eyes instantly turned red.
Her lips trembled slightly, and for a moment, she did not react for a long time, just quietly feeling Feng Yizhou's embrace.
It seemed that at this moment, all the fatigue, worries and grievances had found an outlet to vent.
Feng Yizhou keenly felt the slight trembling of Li Ruochu's body, and he subconsciously hugged the woman tighter, as if this could give her more sense of security.
"How do you know it's me!" he asked again softly, full of curiosity about Li Ruchu's keen insight.
Originally from the very beginning, Li Ruochu really didn't know that this person was Feng Yizhou.
However, Pei Sihuai wanted to meet her again and again, and this persistent behavior made Li Ruchu realize that something was wrong.
Coupled with the unique smell that he had accidentally smelled before, it was a scent that belonged only to Feng Yizhou.
It was this familiar smell that finally made Li Ruochu certain that the so-called Pei Sihuai in front of him was Feng Yizhou!
