Chapter 76, or not?
The next day.
The person who usually loves to stay in bed woke up unusually early today.
When Shen Jingsi got up to wash, Lu Zhenyu was still sleeping.
When she went downstairs, she was already standing in the kitchen, with a Michelin five-star chef helping her.
That scene was so heartwarming; the first rays of morning sunlight streamed in through the window, illuminating the beautiful figure by the window.
The girl had her short hair half-tied up, and a few strands slipped down as she bent down to taste her porridge.
She wore a light blue knitted dress with a beige shawl draped over it, revealing her slender, fair neck.
Shen Jing couldn't help but walk over and hug the person from behind.
"Good morning, honey."
After living under the same roof for so many days, the servants had long since gotten used to it, and continued working with their heads down, acting as if they were invisible.
Lu Zhenyu stopped stirring the porridge for a moment.
She stood frozen for a moment, then came to her senses, turned around, wrapped her arms around his neck, and smiled, saying, "Good morning, honey."
The word "husband" made Shen Jingsi very happy, and he held onto him tightly for the entire breakfast.
Seeing that he was really keen to carry her back to the bedroom, Lu Zhenyu quickly pushed him out.
They were seen off at the door, and the two of them kissed and hugged for a long time.
As Lu Zhenyu adjusted his tie, she asked with seemingly casual concern, "What are you doing today?"
Receiving a signal from his boss, Assistant Wang walked over with his tablet.
"Madam, the boss is mainly inspecting the hotel, factory, department store, and restaurant today."
He paused and then added, "Because the boss asked me to set aside time the day after tomorrow to go on a date with my wife, I might be back late tonight. I also have a lot of work to do tomorrow, so I might have to work overtime."
After speaking, he glanced at Shen Jingsi, who was clearly in a good mood, and silently withdrew.
Shen Jingsi was still immersed in the phrase "Madam," which sounded truly pleasant.
Looking at Lu Zhenyu, she curled her lips and asked, "Are you asking this because you want to come to work with me today?"
Lu Zhenyu pushed his face away, "I won't accompany you."
Shen Jingsi feigned a sour expression, but Lu Zhenyu laughed again, "But we can try to bump into each other. If you find me, I'll give you a reward, how about that?"
So interesting?
Then Shen Jingsi became interested.
"What reward am I getting? You'll serve me tonight?"
Although Lu Zhenyu blushed a little, she still tiptoed close to his ear and said in a soft voice, "Once you catch him, you can serve him."
Shen Jingsi's smile deepened. "It's a deal. Anyone who goes back on their word is a little dog."
Watching the man leave with great enthusiasm, Lu Zhenyu's smile gradually faded, and her fox-like eyes, which had been watching the car disappear into the distance, fell silent.
After seeing Shen Jingsi off, she took care of Xiaomeng, feeding her breakfast, giving her medicine, and changing her bandages.
The girl's face had lost most of its swelling, but she still needed to rest due to the mild concussion. With a large number of servants at home, Lu Zhenyu wasn't worried about that.
…
"Xiao Xi, did you get through to Xiao Si on the phone? Does he have time to go with you to try on wedding dresses?"
The call went through, but Duan Xi'er was visibly downcast. "He said he was too busy at the company today and told me to just send him the photos."
The dressed-up mother came downstairs, hugged the person, and patted their shoulder.
"It's okay, he doesn't have time for Mom to be with you. On the day of the engagement banquet, I promise to make you the most beautiful bride in the whole capital."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted and laughed as they arrived outside the villa. Just as they were about to get into the car, a Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly drove in from outside the gate.
The car door opened, revealing a healthy-looking face to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
"Godmother, Xiaoxi."
Lu Zhenyu's appearance was so sudden that it was Shen's mother who reacted first.
"Why did Zhenzhen suddenly come back today without telling me beforehand?"
Lu Zhenyu looked at the two of them and asked, "Are you going to Baimao to have Xiaoxi try on her wedding dress?"
Duan Xi'er looked at him closely, her hand unconsciously tightening around her bag. "Sister Zhenzhen still remembers? What, did you come back especially to keep me company?"
Lu Zhenyu, with her arm draped over the windowsill, tilted her head and said in a pure, innocent way, "Yes, are you surprised, little Xi?"
Lu Zhenyu's unusual enthusiasm today has piqued Duan Xier's interest.
"Mom, you're busy today, so let Sister Zhenzhen come with me."
Leaving her mother behind, Duan Xi'er got into Lu Zhenyu's car and headed to the commercial street.
With a driver present, the two remained silent the entire way.
Duan Xi'er held back all her words until she landed.
"Unsolicited kindness is always suspicious; there's no smoke without fire. Tell me, what do you want?"
Lu Zhenyu, who was leisurely selecting dresses from the passing mannequins, glanced over with a serious expression.
"Didn't you say you wanted me to come with you to choose a dress? Why are you asking me instead?"
Perhaps it was because they hadn't seen each other for a while, but Duan Xi'er felt that this woman had changed.
Especially after hearing Zheng Yaowan say that she kidnapped Zheng's mother in front of everyone that day.
Looking at Lu Zhenyu, who was sitting upright opposite her, she felt a little more wary.
This person isn't afraid of fools, but of madmen.
The kind of crazy person who's barefoot and unafraid of those wearing shoes is even more terrifying.
Lu Zhenyu smiled, her eyes growing wider, and then raised an eyebrow. "What? Is my little sister on guard, afraid I'll suddenly pull out a knife and slash your face?"
Duan Xi'er's expression froze instantly. Although she looked undeterred, she was actually already wary.
She scoffed, trying to save face, "I know you wouldn't dare. Next Wednesday is my engagement party with A-Si. If you hurt my face, A-Si won't let you off the hook."
"Really?" Lu Zhenyu stroked her chin with interest. "Now that you mention it, I'm quite curious."
Realizing she was deliberately picking a fight, Duan Xi'er's face turned cold, and she casually pointed to one of the newly arrived models.
"Give me this set, I want to try it."
Lu Zhenyu quickly added, "Get me a condom too, a size larger than hers, maybe a size S."
…
In the ten-story Baimao Building, uniformed staff members walked slowly in a large group through the jewelry area on the second floor.
The leader of the group, Shen Jingsi, would stop in front of a store from time to time, and the mall manager would immediately come up to him and explain the store details.
The man was wearing a double-breasted, peak-lapel black blazer, and a black shirt with a brown patterned tie and a lapel pin.
The person walked into a high-end pearl store and stopped there, their eyes gleaming as they scanned the Australian white pearls displayed prominently in the center of the glass window.
"This one, I'll pack it up."
"Yes, Mr. Shen, please wait a moment."
The secretary outside came in at that moment and handed over a phone, "President Shen, there's news."
The man rested one hand on the glass cabinet, crossed his legs, swiped the lock screen, squinted, and the corners of his lips instantly turned up.
Pearl's wife, who loves to eat and sleep, [Photo]
Pearl, a wife who loves to eat and sleep, said, "I'm waiting for you here, my husband."
Clicking on the photo, the long, well-defined fingers swipe to zoom in, revealing a pearlescent dress.
Suppressing the dark glint in Ruifeng's eyes, the man's lips curled into an even more unrestrained smile.
"Is it packed yet?!"
The salesperson, impatiently urging him on, rushed over and saw the man leaning against the glass with his hands on his hips, tapping incessantly with his fingertips.
"Mr. Shen, please take this."
He casually took it and strode out.
He took a couple of steps, then suddenly turned back, pointing at the group of people accompanying him, "Go do your own work. Secretary Lin is taking my place, and none of you are allowed to come along."
Everyone nodded in agreement, "We understand, President Shen!"
The man slung the gift box over his shoulder, whistled, and strolled away with his hands in his pockets.
Clothing design studio.
Meanwhile, Lu Zhenyu and Duan Xier, who were changing into their formal attire, were separated by a changing room.
A conversation between two people could be heard from behind the quietly hanging long curtains.
"Don't blame me for not warning you, if you dare to choose the same dress as me, you'll be the one who embarrasses yourself at the engagement party."
"Really?" Lu Zhenyu smiled. "I'm also curious where you get all this confidence from."
"you……"
"Did Mother Shen give it to you?"
Duan Xi'er was about to turn her face dark when she smiled again, "Yes, you just realized? Mother Shen has always treated me like her own daughter. Isn't that amazing? I've never had a mother since I was little, and I longed for maternal love but couldn't get it by trying to please her. I have plenty of that, but I'm being pampered by both my loving mother and mother-in-law."
With the surroundings quiet down, Duan Xi'er, who had won a round, snorted, "Considering that we're about to become sisters-in-law, I advise you not to be too smug. Zheng Yaozong has been arrested by the Feng family, but I'll say it again, he'll be released in less than a week."
“Ah Si hid you in a manor, but he didn’t cancel our engagement. He still asked Shell, the most sought-after designer in the world, to design my wedding dress. This is enough to prove that in his heart, I am still irreplaceable.”
A voice drifted in from the other end, "Is that so?"
Looking at herself in the mirror, with her dress draped over her shoulders, Lu Zhenyu smiled slowly and said, "Then I wish you happiness."
Duan Xi'er hated her most of all for her stubbornness, which made her unable to utter a sound even when scolded, and was about to speak...
Just then, a voice came from outside, "Lu Xiaozhen?"
Duan Xi'er's heart skipped a beat!
Ah Si?
Fearing it might be her imagination, she frowned and listened intently.
In the beautifully decorated formal wear store, a man carrying a gift box strolled leisurely, browsing through the items.
After waiting for a while without seeing anyone, she called out again, "Lu Xiaozhen, where is she? If she doesn't come out soon, I'm going to come in..."
As he passed by the locker room, before he could finish speaking, a small, fair hand suddenly reached out from inside the door, grabbed his wrist, and pulled him inside as the door swung open.
As soon as the locker room door closed, a beautiful face came into view.
Lu Zhenyu was wearing a pearlescent satin dress with a back that opened up to her hips, a strapless deep V-neck style, and she hadn't had time to pull up the side zipper yet.
Loosely draped over her body, in the not-so-bright warm light, her fragrant shoulders were half-exposed, strands of hair touched her lips, and the rounded curves squeezed out by the deep V-neck were irresistibly alluring.
But nothing could compare to the little face in Shen Jingsi's eyes.
Smooth and delicate, fair and tender, with a pinkish blush because the changing room was not well ventilated.
The girl looked up, her lips slightly parted, revealing a bit of her pink tongue and pearly teeth, rising and falling gently with her chest, pure and alluring like a ripe peach.
Shen Jingsi saw that Mi was drunk, and his thin lips curled into a wicked smile, "I've found you, you little rascal."
Lu Zhenyu seemed to be waiting for him on purpose. She stood on tiptoe, her pink and full lips moving upwards, gently brushing against his prominent Adam's apple.
"A promise is a promise, isn't it?"
