The warm touch was fleeting, and before Jiang Li could react, she was startled by the sudden sound of the door slamming shut.
She quickly looked toward the door.
But the door had already been closed, so naturally we couldn't see who had just opened it.
Thinking this, Jiang Li subconsciously wanted to chase after him.
Lu Shiyan grabbed Jiang Li and said casually, "Jiang Jiang, don't worry about him."
“But…but…” Jiang Li said anxiously, “But he just…”
After a pause, Jiang Li glared angrily at Lu Shiyan again, "Why did you kiss me just now?"
This bastard is the one who did all this!
If it weren't for him...
Lu Shiyan's lips curved slightly, looking completely at ease. "Jiang Jiang put the jade pendant on me. I'm thanking Jiang Jiang. Is there a problem?"
"What kind of thanks are you giving?" Jiang Li really wanted to smash Lu Shiyan's head in.
“Although it’s not commonly used in our country, it is indeed a foreign custom,” Lu Shiyan lied through his teeth. “Besides, I’m Jiang Jiang’s prospective boyfriend, so it’s natural for us to be a little more intimate than others. Kissing each other on the forehead is normal.”
"I think you did this on purpose!" Jiang Li glared at Lu Shiyan again.
"Jiang Jiang, you're really wronging me. I don't have X-ray vision, how would I know when someone is outside the door? And how would I know when he opens the door to come in?" Lu Shiyan said, sounding aggrieved and extremely serious. "It really was just a coincidence."
Jiang Li knew it was a coincidence, but it was a coincidence that made her a little anxious.
"No, I have to find that person," Jiang Li said seriously.
Lu Shiyan asked, puzzled, "What does Jiang Jiang want with him?"
"I can't let him misunderstand, of course I have to explain it to him clearly." Jiang Li answered matter-of-factly, "What if he misunderstands and spreads rumors everywhere?"
“I think it’s great.” Lu Shiyan said seriously, “Anyway, I’ve been waiting for you all my life. You’ll either be with me or devote yourself to the world of metaphysics. We’ll either be bound together or grow old together in solitude. So whether others misunderstand or not, it doesn’t matter.”
It would be great if everyone thought they were a couple.
"No, I'm determined to find him." Jiang Li's attitude was firm.
Lu Shiyan couldn't help but rub his forehead. "Alright, no need to look anymore. No one dares to come over except Lu Jiming. If he comes over, it's probably because he has something to ask us."
But after witnessing what he just saw, he had to postpone even the most important matters.
The first rule of the Lu family...
For Lu Shiyan, dating and pursuing a wife is the most important thing in the Lu family.
As for other things...
Unless it's an emergency so urgent that someone will die or something terrible will happen if we don't contact Lu Shiyan, we shouldn't disturb Lu Shiyan and Jiang Li when they're together.
Lu Jiming, who was leaving in a hurry, now felt that he had appeared on his uncle's assassination list.
If my family finds out about this...
Um……
He needs to think about it carefully...
What kind of death would you choose that wouldn't be painful?
Sigh, he's having such a hard time.
"Lu Jiming, where's Uncle Lu?" Yao Qing noticed Lu Jiming's strange expression and couldn't help but call out to him, "Why did you come back by yourself?"
"Huh?" Lu Jiming came to his senses and started making things up, "I was thinking that if I called him Uncle, we would definitely feel awkward during the meal, so I hesitated for a moment and then didn't call him that."
“But we’re all at Uncle Lu’s house. Isn’t it too much to not invite him to eat?” Yao Qing said speechlessly. “Besides, even if your uncle doesn’t eat, you can’t expect Master not to eat, can you?”
“This…” Lu Jiming hesitated for a moment, then finally said in a desperate move, “If I have to call you, I don’t want to.”
"Hmm?" Yao Qing's expression changed instantly, her eyes lighting up. She deliberately lowered her voice and asked somewhat mischievously, "Did you just stumble upon something? Is that why you rushed downstairs so quickly, even forgetting to call someone for dinner?"
Lu Jiming: "..."
He discovered that Yao Qing, who had returned to normal, was indeed becoming increasingly intelligent.
Just then, a familiar voice rang out from outside.
Lu Jiming's expression changed slightly.
Yao Qing's expression wasn't good either.
"Lu Jiming, are you home?"
There was no reply, so the person outside called out again.
Yao Qing nudged Lu Jiming's shoulder. "A girl is looking for you. Aren't you going to go and see?"
Lu Jiming said with a long face, "There's no need to go see it."
He had absolutely no desire to have any contact with the other party.
"Aren't you going?" Yao Qing's lips suddenly curled into a smile. "Then I'll go."
"What are you going to do?" Lu Jiming grabbed Yao Qing's arm. "Why bother with someone like that? You should just wait for your meal."
“When old friends come, we always have to see them.” Yao Qing’s face suddenly darkened. “Otherwise, how can we face me after all these years of being played like a fool?”
She genuinely believed that the other person considered her a friend.
But once she was fully awake and back to normal, she could understand things on her own without being reminded.
I truly feel like I wasted my whole heart on the past.
Foolish and pathetic.
She hadn't intended to approach them, but since they had come to her, she couldn't just ignore them, could she?
Otherwise, it would make her seem like she lacks courage.
Thinking this, Yao Qing brushed Lu Jiming's hand away and slowly walked out.
Jiang Xueqi, dressed sweetly and beautifully, holding a very exquisitely packaged box, had her expression change drastically when she saw Yao Qing walking out of the house.
Then she murmured in disbelief, "Yao... Yao... Yao Qing?"
Yao Qing crossed her arms and looked at Jiang Xueqi calmly, but did not say anything.
Jiang Xueqi jogged over, her face full of reproach, and said, "Yao Qing, why haven't you contacted me all this time? I sent you messages but you didn't reply, and you didn't answer my calls. I thought something had happened to you, I was so worried about you!"
Yao Qing looked at Jiang Xueqi with a half-smile, "Then you'll be disappointed. How could anything happen to me? I'm in better shape than ever before."
Jiang Xueqi was taken aback, then said with tears welling up in her eyes, "How could you say that? I want you to be alright more than anyone else. How could I possibly wish for something to happen to you? Yao Qing, what you're saying really hurts me!"
In the past, if Jiang Xueqi had acted this way, Yao Qing would have already started to coax her.
But now...
Yao Qing stared at Jiang Xueqi with a blank expression, making Jiang Xueqi feel a little uneasy.
“Since you’re feeling sad, then that’s fine…” Yao Qing looked at Jiang Xueqi slowly, “Let’s break off our friendship and never contact each other again.”
Jiang Xueqi froze, her voice trembling with panic, "You...you...what did you say?"
"I said..." Yao Qing leaned closer to Jiang Xueqi and whispered in her ear, "You should find someone else to stick your neck out. This young lady... won't keep you company!"
