Chapter 128 Return to Beijing
The next morning.
The bright sunlight shone strongly into the milkshake-themed bedroom through the gaps in the curtains.
Lu Zhenyu slowly opened her closed fox eyes, stared blankly at the ceiling for a while, then threw off the covers and got out of bed.
The curtains retracted automatically, and she pushed open the window to go to the balcony.
The courtyard was filled with autumn colors, and camellias on both sides were in full bloom. A servant squatting in the garden weeding peered out.
"Miss, you're awake. What would you like for breakfast?"
After basking in the sun with her eyes closed, Lu Zhenyu, leaning against the railing, thought for a moment and said, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do. I'll have douzhi (fermented mung bean juice) and youtiao (fried dough sticks)."
Although the Lu residence was very large, Lu Zhenyu only hired three servants.
"Alright, I'll go buy it for you right away, Miss." The servant clapped his hands and got up, but stopped after taking a few steps. "By the way, Miss, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. What would you like to eat tonight? I'd like to prepare it in advance."
"No need, I have a get-together tonight. You guys can make something you like to eat."
After everyone left, Lu Zhenyu, wearing a silk nightgown, braced herself against the railing, lifted her long legs, and flipped down.
The autumn sun was the most intense, but she wasn't afraid. She strolled around the entire compound while basking in the sun.
Even without amnesia, Lu Zhenyu doesn't have many memories of this family.
But strangely enough, after wandering away from home for so many years, I suddenly feel a sense of peace and security when I return.
"They really are Chinese; they all have a deep-rooted love for their home."
-
It was a wonderful wedding, but my best friend wasn't there, and none of my friends could make it back.
Despite Feng Manman's seemingly kind words in public, she was secretly upset for several days and ultimately took it all out on Jin Chuan.
"What should we do then? How about we postpone the wedding again?"
Feng Manman, in the passenger seat, turned her back with her arms crossed and said, "Zaiyan, you want me to give birth to the child at the wedding?"
Shen Jinchuan shut up, then thought for a moment, "Then when we go on our honeymoon, I'll try to get everyone together to make you happy, okay?"
Feng Manman said, "This is bad."
Hongqi reversed into the parking space, pulled the handbrake, unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned over, "Then hit me a couple of times to vent your anger, don't hold it in, and then we'll think of something else."
Too gentle, too compliant, and always so considerate in his words—sometimes, looking at her husband like this, Feng Manman felt herself to be a little unreasonable, even without anyone else present.
But there was nothing he could do; the more he pampered her, the less she could control her emotions.
Feng Manman didn't even need to say anything; Shen Jinchuan had already guessed her thoughts.
She cupped the little face in her warm palms and turned her around. "It's not your fault. The book says it's normal for pregnant women to have mood swings. It's okay to take it out on your husband, but you can't hold it in and make yourself angry, okay?"
Two sentences made Feng Manman's eyes redden. She pouted and took a bite of that handsome face that she had looked at for almost seven years without getting tired of it.
"It's all your fault. Even Zhenzhen can't come back. What's the point of this marriage?"
Seeing that the girl had dropped her pearls, Shen Jinchuan quickly took her into his arms to comfort her.
"Alright, alright, it's all my fault. Don't cry. Everyone's waiting in the private room. Didn't we say we were going to have a blast at the bachelor party?"
After a few words, the girl calmed down again. She patiently wiped away her tears, and Shen Jinchuan carried her up to the fifth floor.
Ten minutes ago.
Guided by the child driver, the Cullinan smoothly drove into the parking lot of Night Paradise.
Lu Zhenyu took the elevator directly to the fifth floor and followed the waiter to the private room.
At the same time, another elevator arrived, and two tall men came out side by side.
Siwei walked with his hands in his pockets, looking around casually. He caught a glimpse of the beautiful figure ahead of him and narrowed his eyes.
"Why does this look so familiar?"
Feng Jinheng, who was standing next to him, remarked, "You see, all the beautiful women look familiar."
"Hey!" Si Wei glared at him, just as Qian Ying turned to enter the private room.
Upon seeing the exquisite profile, Siwei's eyes lit up, and he shouted, "Little Pearl? Is it you, Little Pearl!"
The girl returning to Beijing even brought her clothes back with her: a light gray spaghetti strap dress, the smooth fabric clinging to her curvaceous figure, paired with a long beige cardigan.
Even from behind, she exudes the aura of a stunning beauty; from the front, it goes without saying that her fair and delicate skin, perfectly proportioned curves, and slender waist accentuate the S-curve of her form-fitting long dress.
Her swan-like neck was straight and fair, and her long hair was half tied behind her back. When people turned to look at her at the sound, her light skirt swayed.
Her rosy and exquisite oval face made Siwei's eyes light up again and again.
He ran over, grinning, and looked the person up and down, utterly amazed.
"It really is you, Little Pearl. See? We're still the closest of friends. I recognized you just from your back."
Seeing the girl looking at him quietly, he blinked. "I...you don't recognize me? I'm..."
“Si Wuwei,” Lu Zhenyu said in a calm tone.
Si Wei's face lit up with joy. He looked at the man, then at Feng Jinheng who was walking over. He straightened his back and said smugly, "See, boss? Little Pearl is still best to me. Even though she has amnesia, she can still call me..."
"Brother Jinheng, it's been a long time."
The officer's face darkened.
Feng Jinheng smiled at the girl with the curled lips, "When did you come back? I've never heard Manman mention you."
Lu Zhenyu explained, "It was just to give her a surprise."
Lu Zhenyu hasn't come back often in recent years, but she has learned about all her old friends in Beijing from Feng Manman.
Seeing the two talking as they walked toward the private room, Siwei, who was lagging behind, looked left and right before chasing after them.
"Oh, little pearl, how could you tease Brother Si like that? I was so moved that I almost cried."
The door to the private room was closed for a short while before the waiter pushed it open again.
Everyone inside looked over, but the person at the door spoke before they arrived.
"I'm going to drink tonight."
"The doctor said pregnant women can't drink alcohol, is it okay to drink fruit juice?"
"No, then I'll drink red wine."
"Then kill me and drink my blood."
Feng Manman: "..."
The couple entered the private room, and Si Wei, who was sitting opposite them, raised an eyebrow and said, "Are all young people these days so romantic? Drinking your husband's blood like wine, are you pregnant with a vampire?"
Feeling awkward no matter what, Feng Manman rolled her eyes and was about to retort when two hands covered her face.
Guess who I am?
The girl, who was four months pregnant, was stunned.
No need to guess, that soft, sweet, milky aroma is something only one person in the entire capital can have.
Excited, Feng Manman immediately let out a thunderous scream, turned around and saw Lu Zhenyu, then immediately threw herself into her arms.
"When did you get back! Didn't you say you were going to watch the penguins move and weren't coming back?"
Lu Zhenyu was both amused and exasperated. "It really is true that pregnancy makes you stupid for three years! Do I not know whether the penguin moving house is more important or you?"
Feng Manman cried.
It wasn't that she didn't understand her sister; it was just that ever since Lu Zhenyu returned to Beijing last year and learned about some things from her in the past, she had been acting strangely again.
When I first lost my memory, I went from one extreme to another. After learning about the past, I slid to the other extreme.
He's always doing all sorts of extreme challenges and sports, and sometimes even his brother can't catch him.
"I thought you really wanted to see the penguins move."
"Oh dear." Rubbing the head in her arms, Lu Zhenyu comforted her sister, who was crying her eyes out, with a mixture of heartache and amusement.
The couple didn't invite many people to tonight's bachelor party; just a few close friends.
When Bei Tingwan arrived, she was quite surprised to see Lu Zhenyu.
Watching the three girls chatting animatedly across from him, Si Wei nudged Shen Jinchuan with his elbow, "Where's your brother? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see his wife, isn't he coming?"
Shen Jinchuan: "I just got off the plane, I'll be there soon."
"You were injured yesterday, and you're back today?" Feng Jinheng asked.
Si Wei chuckled, "Don't you know what kind of person the third brother is? Even if he gets shot or has his limbs amputated, he'll crawl over here if he hears Little Pearl is here."
Having talked too much and drunk too much water, Lu Zhenyu quietly got up and left while everyone was having a good time chatting.
After washing my hands, I turned out of the restroom and walked back, when I ran into a group of girls.
"Lu Zhenyu?"
Tao Zhitao, who was in the lead, looked at the person in front of her again and again, and her face showed surprise.
"You're not dead?"
