Sitting next to Wen Lu, Wang Jinyu sensed the coldness of Wen Lu's aura. He turned his head to look at Wen Lu and asked in a soft voice.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"Jiang Qi is a big mouth. She told Gu Yao about what happened to me in Beijing, and now Gu Yao wants to come to Beijing to find me."
Wen Lu casually tossed her phone aside and spoke in a nonchalant tone. She had asked Jiang Qi to verify that she was not dead, which meant that Jiang Qi should hurry up and do things for her. Unexpectedly, after the matter was completed, Jiang Qi even told Gu Yao about her whereabouts.
When Gu Yao caught up with her, she didn't know how to explain.
"You're not planning to tell her your true identity?"
Wang Jinyu casually took a bottle of warm water from the car's insulated box, unscrewed it, and placed it in Wen Lu's hand. Wen Lu took it and drank a sip, speaking in a somewhat nonchalant tone.
"It's not that I don't want to talk about it, it's just that I don't know how to explain it. This kind of thing is too fantastical. If it hadn't happened to me, and someone told me about it, I would definitely call them crazy."
Wang Jinyu did not deny Wen Lu's words; it was indeed the case. If he hadn't met Wen Lu, he wouldn't have believed it if anyone had told him such a thing.
Wang Jinyu reached out and pulled Wen Lu into his arms, chuckled softly, and said to Wen Lu in a cool tone.
"Given Gu Yao's intelligence, if you don't bring this up, she probably will never have thought of it in her life. Don't worry, your identity is safe."
Wen Lu leaned against Wang Jinyu's chest, looking up at him with her big, cute eyes blinking a few times. Her expression was somewhat indescribable; she couldn't tell whether Wang Jinyu's words were meant to comfort her or mock her.
Looking into Wen Lu's large, dark eyes, Wang Jinyu lowered his head and gently kissed Wen Lu's forehead, whispering in her ear in a low, husky voice.
"The way you are makes me want to tease you."
“In the past, I would have definitely given you a good fight…”
"It's okay, I'll wait for you. Once you're better, you can choose any place you like, and I'll go along with it."
Wang Jinyu looked at Wen Lu with eyes full of doting affection, but Wen Lu saw only naked desire. She glared at Wang Jinyu speechlessly, thinking that this man was truly a scoundrel.
Wen Lu closed her eyes and ignored Wang Jinyu. She needed to rest now, as there was a fierce battle to come, and she didn't know if she would have the stamina.
An hour later, the car stopped outside Wen Lu's house. Wang Jinyu got out of the car, walked to the other side, opened the car door, and reached out to help Wen Lu out of the car.
After Wen Lu got out of the car, Wang Jinyu looked around and thought that the manor was quite nice, except for its remote location.
Hearing the car, the housekeeper rushed out and couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes when he saw Wen Lu.
"Miss is back. Go and see Qian Lailai. I told her I'd find her a doctor, but she refused. She insisted on waiting for you to come back. I knocked on her door just now to ask how she was doing, but I haven't received a reply yet."
Hearing the housekeeper's words, Wen Lu wasn't in a hurry. She nodded slightly and walked into the courtyard.
Seeing Wen Lu go inside, Wang Jinyu didn't rush to follow. Instead, he looked at the butler and pointed to the open space not far away.
Do you know who owns that land? Can you contact the owner of that land?
Wang Jinyu pointed to a spot a few hundred meters away in the sea and asked the housekeeper in a casual tone.
He had just observed that the owner of the land there probably felt that the seaside area had no development value, so he only developed this part, leaving the rest of the land vacant.
The butler looked in the direction Wang Jinyu was pointing, smiled happily and proudly, and spoke with some excitement.
"It belongs to the master, no, it should be said that it belongs to the young lady. It was left to the young lady by the master. When the master was still in good health, he bought the entire piece of land and developed a community here that is similar to a courtyard manor."
"They originally wanted to build a seaside amusement park, but later they felt that the seaside amusement park was somewhat out of place with this Chinese-style garden. Their peaceful life shouldn't be disrupted by a noisy amusement park, so the plan was shelved. I wonder what Mr. Wang thinks about this?"
"I do have some ideas, but it certainly won't be a seaside amusement park. Such a quiet place shouldn't be disturbed. Let me plan it out and I'll tell you."
After saying that, Wang Jinyu gestured to the butler to invite him in, and together they walked into the courtyard.
When Wen Lu returned to the house, she saw Yan Nuo playing games. Without saying anything, she went straight to Qian Lailai's bedroom. Just as she reached the bedroom door, she heard Qian Lailai's painful groans. She quickly knocked on the door.
"Qian Lailai, it's me. I'm back. Open the door for me."
Qian Lailai, who was lying in bed feeling like she was about to die, heard Wen Lu's voice, quickly climbed off the bed, staggered to the door, opened it, and let Wen Lu in.
The moment Qian Lailai saw Wen Lu, she rushed into Wen Lu's arms, hugged her tightly, and cried out in grievance.
"Junior Uncle, what have you been doing? You're not answering my calls or replying to my WeChat messages. If you don't answer the phone today, I might die."
Wen Lu held Qian Lailai's weak body, tenderly wiped the sweat from Qian Lailai's forehead, and hurriedly apologized to Qian Lailai.
"I'm so sorry, I forgot to turn on my phone number and I wasn't logged into WeChat. I'm so sorry for making you suffer these past few days. Now that I'm back, you won't get into trouble again."
Wen Lu helped Qian Lailai sit down on the bed, took out a black wisp from Qian Lailai's backpack, stared at the bottle for a while, smiled coldly, and spoke in a light tone.
"They say that people with good tempers harbor a lot of resentment after they die. I never thought this little thing would also want to become a demon. She's really overthinking it."
Wen Lu bit her finger and used the blood from her fingertip to hang a talisman on the bottle. Instantly, the black aura in the bottle calmed down, and after a short while, the black aura slowly faded.
After observing the wisp of soul in the bottle for a while, she noticed that the evil aura of the soul had dissipated considerably. She turned to look in Qian Lailai's direction, where Qian Lailai's complexion had clearly improved.
“You shouldn’t feed it with your true skin. Once it consumes your true energy, it will want more, and may even want to drain you dry and then replace you.”
Luckily, you had the protective talisman your senior brother gave you, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to wait for me to come back. Little thing, have you been cultivating properly at all? This little thing has made you like this, you're so useless!
