While Wen Lu was talking to Gu Jingkun, she unconsciously looked in Wang Jinyu's direction and noticed that Wang Jinyu was staring at her.
At first, she thought it was her imagination, but now she realized that her feeling was not wrong. It turned out that Wang Jinyu's jealousy had been boiling over since then, which explained why he drank so much today.
“I didn’t see you scolding him, I just saw you talking and laughing with him. When I saw you talking to him, your eyes were practically sparkling. I was so jealous I was going crazy, but there was nothing I could do.”
At this point, Wang Jinyu suddenly felt a little aggrieved. He couldn't control Wen Lu's circle of friends, but he really hated Wang Jinyu's contact with Gu Jingkun. That man made him feel a sense of crisis.
Wang Jinyu unconsciously tightened his grip on Wen Lu's arms, rested his head against Wen Lu's body, and said in a muffled voice.
“I’m worried that you’ll develop feelings for him because he helped you solve that problem. Wen Lu, please remember, you can only belong to me, Wang Jinyu.”
Listening to Wang Jinyu's drunken words mixed with a strong possessiveness, Wen Lu simply smiled faintly and did not give Wang Jinyu any response. She felt that Wang Jinyu was just a drunk man at this moment, and he might not understand what she was saying.
She nestled in the crook of Wang Jinyu's neck, the scent unique to him lingering around her nose—a faint minty aroma mixed with a hint of alcohol, giving her a sense of peace.
Undeterred by Wen Lu's lack of response, Wang Jinyu continued to mutter to her.
"Wen Lu, did you even hear what I said? I said you can only be mine, and no one else can even think about you!"
Wen Lu nestled in the crook of Wang Jinyu's neck, smiling broadly, but she still didn't answer his question. She simply said softly, "Tired, sleepy, want to sleep..."
Wang Jinyu chuckled helplessly at Wen Lu's lack of response. He loosened his grip on Wen Lu slightly, allowing her to find a comfortable position in his arms and rest.
Wang Xiuyi drove the car back to the Imperial Garden. The moment the car stopped, Wen Lu opened her eyes from Wang Jinyu's arms and struggled to get off him.
However, Wang Jinyu did not let go of Wen Lu's idea. He pressed down on Wen Lu's legs, not giving her any chance to struggle, and directly carried her out of the car and headed towards the elevator.
When Wang Jinyu reached the 27th floor, the door opened with a ding as he walked to the door.
Hearing the door open, Wen Lu lifted her head from Wang Jinyu's embrace, gently patted his shoulder, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Alright, are we home? Can you put me down now?"
"No, I will never let you go in my entire life!"
Without giving Wen Lu a chance to refuse, Wang Jinyu led her towards the bedroom.
Wang Xiuyi, who had followed Wang Jinyu in, stopped when he saw this scene and quietly retreated in the same way he had come in.
He dared not disturb the two of them under any circumstances; some things had to wait until tomorrow.
Wang Jinyu carried Wen Lu straight into the bathroom, placed her on the sink, and put her hands on Wang Jinyu's shoulders, her eyes level with his.
Wen Lu wasn't unaware of why Wang Jinyu was suddenly being so assertive; she knew that Wang Jinyu simply wanted a promise from her.
Wang Jinyu did all this because he felt guilty. He was afraid that she would be angry because he had abandoned her that day, so he kept looking for opportunities to ease her resentment. But he didn't know that Wen Lu had never really blamed him.
Looking at Wang Jinyu's slightly reddened eyes, Wen Lu lowered her head and kissed Wang Jinyu's thin lips, then bit his lips with her little tiger teeth as punishment.
“I’ve never blamed you. If I blamed you, why would I let you touch me? You fool.”
Wen Lu's voice wasn't loud, but it was incredibly seductive. In an instant, the last thread of tension in Wang Jinyu's mind snapped. He didn't have time to think anymore; he held Wen Lu's soft body and led her to succumb to temptation...
When it came to the final step, Wang Jinyu hugged Wen Lu around the waist, pressing her tightly against his body. His heavy breath fell on Wen Lu's alluring collarbone as he asked uncertainly.
"Are you sure... really okay? Your heart..."
Unexpectedly, Wang Jinyu was still considering whether her heart could handle it at this moment. Wen Lu rested her chin in the crook of Wang Jinyu's neck and chuckled softly.
She raised her arm and stroked the back of Wang Jinyu's head with her palm, running her fingers through his hair as she spoke in a soft, breathy voice.
"Be gentle, I can handle it."
...
Wang Jinyu gently carried Wen Lu out of the bathroom, placed her on the bed, quickly covered her with a blanket, and then took out a hairdryer from the bathroom and gently dried Wen Lu's hair.
Wen Lu lay on the bed with her eyes closed, turning her head away from Wang Jinyu, not even wanting to give him a second glance.
Seeing Wen Lu's adorable sulking, Wang Jinyu smiled gently, dutifully dried Wen Lu's body, then snuggled into the blankets, held Wen Lu's soft body, and drifted off to sleep.
At nine o'clock the next day, Yan Luo and Wang Xiuyi appeared at the same time in the living room of Wang Jinyu's house.
Hearing the door open in the bedroom, Wang Jinyu slowly opened his eyes. He immediately looked down at the little girl nestled in his arms, sleeping peacefully. A warm feeling enveloped his heart, and his previously uneasy heart seemed to have found its home in that instant.
Wang Jinyu stared at Wen Lu on the bed for about five or six minutes before quietly getting up and going into the bathroom to wash up.
Sitting in the living room, Yan Luo glanced at the time on the wall clock, then turned to look at Wang Xiuyi, who was busy with something, and asked him in a puzzled tone.
"Does your husband still have the habit of sleeping in late?" Yan Luo had known Wang Jinyu for so many years, and Wang Jinyu had always given her the impression that he didn't need to sleep. This was the first time she had encountered him sleeping in late.
Upon hearing Yan Luo's words, Wang Xiuyi looked at Yan Luo with a troubled expression. He didn't know how to bring up the matter of his master sleeping in late. What right did he have to interfere in his master's affairs?
"Young Master Yan, my master probably drank too much yesterday, that's why he woke up late..."
Before Wang Xiuyi could finish speaking, Wang Jinyu came out of the bedroom dressed in pajamas. He looked at the two people sitting in the living room without much surprise and asked Wang Xiuyi in a calm tone, "Any results from the investigation Wen Lu asked you to do yesterday?"
"Got it. Those three girls are the young ladies from the Wei, Xue, and Sun families in Beijing. The composition of that packet of white powder has also been determined; it's a hallucinogenic drug."
