Chapter 131 Feng Jinzhou Arrives
The thin lips froze in the evening breeze.
Lu Zhenyu turned around, put her hands behind her back, and looked at the full moon on the fifteenth of the lunar month. "You should know that this is not my first time returning to the capital."
A year ago, she returned to her homeland, Verona, the last stop on her round-the-world trip.
“Manman took me back to the Lu family home, to kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, high school, university, including the Golden Cloud Bay that you restored.”
Shen Jingsi said in a deep voice, "They told you everything about their past?"
Lu Zhenyu, with her fox-like eyes, shook her head. "I dug it out myself by asking around."
She turned around and met the man's misty eyes, "Because I really want to know what happened to me."
Shen Jingsi's breathing became shallow. "And then?"
"Then, strangely enough, after I heard about our past, including the child who never got to be born," Lu Zhenyu said, her brow furrowing slightly as she touched her heart, "I felt a pang of sympathy, but not heartache."
"Then I suddenly understood why I had amnesia, because God wanted me to live."
Lu Zhenyu approached Shen Jingsi, stood on tiptoe to wrap her arms around his stiff neck, and whispered in his ear, "So Jingsi, let's part ways amicably."
The heart, which was being warmly touched, stopped for a moment, and then exploded with a thud as the blood in the body rushed backward.
Lu Zhenyu sensed Shen Jingsi's emotions, gently rubbed the back of his head, and spoke in a still gentle tone.
"Please consider my suggestion. If it's feasible, let's get things done after the wedding in Jinchuan."
The sound of a car door slamming shut echoed from ahead.
Lu Zhenyu let go of the person and turned around, using the high-powered searchlight of the Lu residence to see the figure coming out of the off-road vehicle.
Her eyes lit up with surprise, and she was about to wave hello when she realized who was behind her.
He turned around and patted Shen Jingsi, who was standing frozen in place, "Remember to think about what I said. It's cold at night, so go back early and take good care of your injuries. Goodbye."
Lu Zhenyu left, or rather, she jogged all the way to Feng Jinzhou, who was leaning against the hood of the car with his arms crossed.
The two, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, opened their arms and embraced each other warmly.
The distance was too great for Shen Jingsi to hear what they were talking about.
As the girl tilted her head back and grinned, the man flicked the tip of her nose.
The two turned around in tacit agreement and walked into the Lu residence side by side, their laughter fading behind the tall wooden door.
The night wind swept in, and the imposing figure stood silently in the gray band where light and shadow met.
He stood there for a long time until someone came to wake him up.
The journey back to Qingshan Manor was different from the way there.
It was so quiet that Wang Kai could hear his own heartbeat, and he almost wanted to say, "You damn thing, stop beating!"
Through the windshield, I noticed that the person leaning back in their seat had a furrowed brow and their clenched fist caused the veins in their neck to bulge.
He quickly turned around. "Boss, haven't you taken your tonight's medicine yet?"
The protruding tip of the Adam's apple pushes against the thin skin as it swallows down to the very bottom before rushing back up.
With his eyes closed, Shen Jingsi leaned his head back on the seat. "Pull over."
The driver quickly turned the steering wheel and pulled the car over to the side of the road.
Then came the order, "Everyone, get down."
The two exchanged a glance. The driver, having received the signal, got out of the car first. Wang Kai silently placed the medicine bottle from his pocket on the back seat, pursed his lips, and left.
On a quiet, deserted street, the two squatted by the roadside.
The driver, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth and a worried expression, asked, "Assistant Wang, when do you think the gentleman will recover from this illness?"
Wang Kai sighed heavily, "If this pace continues, it will probably be difficult."
It would be good if they didn't completely crush the person.
-
With the wedding just around the corner, everyone was extremely excited.
The day before the wedding, the girls gathered at Qingyue Manor to decorate their bridal chamber.
People were popping balloons, arranging flowers, and putting up "double happiness" characters; lively laughter could be heard from the villa from time to time.
Hearing the car noise downstairs, Feng Manman rushed to the balcony. "Second brother, hurry up! Zhenzhen is waiting for you to come and help."
The two Feng brothers got out of the driver's and passenger's seats. Feng Jinzhou, dressed in official robes, looked at them, rubbing his waist, and asked, "What are you doing here?"
After one pretty face appeared, another pretty face peeked out. Lu Zhenyu said with a hint of helplessness, "Sticking balloons, Manman said this job requires a man and a woman to work together to make it less tiring."
"Hehe." Feng Manman stuck out her tongue and secretly gave a look to the person below.
"Don't let the good stuff go to outsiders," as the saying goes. If Shen Jingsi doesn't have the ability to win her back, then it's not her fault.
Feng Jinzhou, having taken off his coat, came upstairs, tearing off his black tie as he walked towards the bridal chamber.
He unbuttoned his sleeves, rolled them up twice, and came to stand in front of Lu Zhenyu.
The girl was staring at the wall, seemingly deep in thought. Her long hair was tied up, revealing her slender, fair neck, square shoulders, slim waist, and long legs. Her graceful figure was perfectly accentuated by her black yoga outfit.
What's the point of having a male-female pairing?
Lu Zhenyu was startled by the sudden noise and turned around. She saw the man grinning mischievously and glared at him.
"You cat, you walk without making a sound."
Feng Jinzhou smiled and said, "You're too focused. What are you thinking about?"
Before Lu Zhenyu could speak, a head popped out from between the two of them, "A man and a woman are paired up now? Let's get to work, you let her ride on your shoulders so she can stick balloons on the wall."
It wasn't that Feng Jinzhou didn't want to betray Lu Zhenyu, but rather, "Is that all? Why not just find a servant to bring a ladder and get it done?"
Feng Manman squeezed through the crowd, "How can that be the same? Zhenzhen is so meticulous and efficient. This balloon wall of mine will be very useful tomorrow. Besides, is the ladder as reliable as you? The ladder will hurt Zhenzhen, would you?"
Feng Jinzhou casually replied, "That's not true."
The brother and sister hit it off immediately.
Lu Zhenyu, standing to the side, frowned slightly, feeling inexplicably that something was amiss.
Without further ado, Feng Jinzhou squatted down with his legs spread, and Lu Zhenyu straddled him. The master and apprentice began to stick balloons onto the wall in perfect harmony.
The Rolls-Royce that drove in from outside the estate came to a smooth stop next to the Cullinan, and the driver's and passenger's doors opened one after the other.
Seeing that the person in front of him had only taken a couple of steps before suddenly stopping, Shen Jinchuan followed after him, asking, "What's wrong, brother?"
Following the other person's gaze to the second floor, he frowned slightly.
“Brother, sister and Brother Jinzhou… I think their relationship is more like that of a teacher and a friend.”
Shen Jingsi took in the sights.
How could he not know what they had been doing abroad all these years? As for the nature of their relationship, he had no right to ask.
"It's okay, you go in first, I'll go back over there and change my clothes."
"Hey?" Xia Feifei, who was sitting by the window blowing up balloons, peeked out. "Is that Shen Jingsi? Why did he leave?"
The hand that was sticking the balloon paused for a moment.
Feng Manman, who was holding a "double happiness" character in her hand, leaned closer and said, "It really is."
The sisters exchanged a glance, then looked at the two people by the window... and understood.
As the red balloon filled the last empty space, Lu Zhenyu was gently lowered down.
She took the water that was handed to her and drank two large gulps, but accidentally choked.
With a helpless laugh, Feng Jinzhou reached out and patted the girl's coughing back. Seeing that her eyes were red from choking, he took a tissue and wiped her wet lips.
Lu Zhenyu held her leg for a while to catch her breath, then said, "Give it to me, I'll take it myself..."
Her slender, white fingers had just touched the strong, thin crook of his hand when her gaze followed the figure in her peripheral vision toward the doorway.
Shen Jingsi, dressed in a black tracksuit, swept past the doorway...
He caught that cold glance precisely, and the curve of Feng Jinzhou's lips deepened.
Hearing conversation coming from the living room next door, Lu Zhenyu looked away and took a tissue to wipe her mouth.
"Didn't you say you'd take the initiative to let me inspect you?"
Meeting Feng Jinzhou's gentle smile, the girl raised an eyebrow slightly, "Now?"
"Work isn't always done by men and women working together."
Lu Zhenyu is certainly not afraid of being tested; she has made great progress in the past few years of venturing out into the world.
The master and apprentice left without warning, which led to the scene that the military officer witnessed when he arrived.
"Huh! This little pearl has grown up quite a bit in just a few years!"
The man walked up to the second-floor living room while praising her, and rummaged through Chen Jingsi's clothes. "Look at this, your wife is like this now."
Siwei, who had casually made a few gestures, saw that the man was just holding a teacup without drinking or saying anything, staring blankly out the window at the building below. He cheekily leaned closer and asked, "Are you jealous, or are you suddenly feeling threatened?"
He only laughed more triumphantly after receiving a cold glare. "Your wife is back but you're not happy. Look at you, all sullen. Does Little Pearl not want you anymore?"
Shen Jingsi said, "Get out."
"Oh ho~" Siwei sat back down next to Shen Jinchuan as if he had discovered a new continent. "Fourth brother, did you see that? This is a classic example of the 'chasing wife crematorium' scenario. You, as the younger brother, should take this as a warning."
Feng Jinheng across from him laughed, "You can just say that to yourself. Jin Chuan is a model husband, you don't need to worry about him."
Siwei rolled over as if he were riding a ball, "Boss, I almost forgot if you hadn't said anything. Given the current situation, one side is your own brother, and the other side is your own brother. Whose side are you on?"
As two pairs of eyes shot over, Feng Jinheng smiled and said, "My daughter doesn't listen to my Zhenyu? You're just worrying about things that don't concern you."
Commandant: "..."
