Chapter 778: Ancient Noblewoman in the Ancient and Modern Texts (20)
Tongyue packed her luggage in the evening and went to say goodbye to Su Yu.
"No, I won't let you go!"
The two were reunited with great difficulty, but had to separate again soon after.
Su Yu said impulsively: "I'll go with you."
As soon as he reached the door, Shi Yingjin stopped him: "You can't leave."
Su Yu: “Why?”
Shi Yingjin had a very good reason: "How do I know if you are planning to run away together? If I can't find you, who will pay the rent I owe?"
He looked the two of them up and down and said, "No matter what, one of you must be kept as a hostage with me."
Su Yu bit her lip: "Husband..."
Shi Yingjin remained calm and unmoved: "It's no use shouting."
Tong Yue walked out from behind Su Yu and took the initiative to say, "Sir, let the young lady stay."
Tongyue turned to look at Su Yu, and said with red eyes: "Miss, don't worry, Tongyue will work hard and take you away as soon as possible."
In Tongyue's opinion, Su Yu was a daughter of a noble family, and she should have stayed here to enjoy good food and drink. How could she follow him out to suffer?
Su Yu's eyes were also red: "Tong Yue."
Shi Yingjin felt a pain in his teeth as he watched: "Alright, there's nothing to cry about. You're making it seem like a life-and-death separation. It's not like I'm not letting you two meet. She can come back to see you on the weekends."
Just like that, the villa was restored to its original state.
Perhaps because she was worried about Tongyue, Su Yu became attentive again towards Shi Yingjin.
"Drink some water, my husband."
"Husband, are you tired? Let me massage your shoulders."
"Husband, I made some soup, please try it."
Shi Yingjin used to think Tong Yue was an eyesore, but now he sees that she does have some use.
"Okay, stop struggling. It's not like I don't have arms."
Shi Yingjin's lips were raised and never lowered.
When Chen Ma was clearing the dishes after dinner, she found that of the dishes on the table, except for the wild mushroom and wild pigeon soup made by Su Yu, the other dishes had not been touched.
A whole pot of soup, finished?!
After the meal, Shi Yingjin felt a little full, so he leaned back on the sofa to digest the food and said to Su Yu, "Next time, cook less soup. Three bowls will be enough."
There are three people in the family, one bowl for each.
Su Yu: “…” Who is the mentally ill one? Who has a problem with his brain?
"I will listen to my husband."
To thank Su Yu for the soup she cooked herself, Ying Jin took her out for dinner in the evening.
The imperial capital at night is more prosperous than during the day. There are countless floors, and clouds can be vaguely seen outside the large floor-to-ceiling windows, as if you are walking on the Milky Way where lights converge.
Su Yu stared at the night view outside the window in a trance, fascinated.
If she had seen this scene when she first came to this world, she would have thought she had come to fairyland.
Everything here is so magical.
Even the candles look better than those in that world.
Su Yu's eyes fell on the candlestick next to her. The beautiful and exquisite candle was burning quietly, emitting a faint glow.
The food had not yet arrived, so Shi Yingjin left for a while.
"I'll be back soon."
Su Yu nodded obediently: "I'll wait for you here."
After Shi Yingjin left, Su Yu turned around and looked out the window again.
The restaurant was too bright, and Su Yu stood up in order to see clearly outside.
She walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down at the galaxy formed by various lights.
"It's so beautiful," she exclaimed.
After a moment, her eyes shifted slightly, and the scene in front of her changed from the brilliant starry sky to the reflection in the restaurant.
Through the reflection in the glass, she met a pair of familiar smiling eyes.
Su Yu paused for a second and turned to look.
"Is it you?"
Su Yu didn't expect to see Lu Chi again. When she saw that familiar face, she couldn't help but be dazed for a moment.
Lu Chi accurately captured the fleeting trance on the girl's face.
He lowered his eyes, hiding the thoughtful look in them.
"What a coincidence." Lu Chi said with a smile, "This is our second meeting. I wonder if I can get to know your name?"
Su Yu looked at him, her eyelashes trembling twice, and she said softly, "Su Yu."
"Su Yu?" Lu Chi's face looked strange for a moment, but soon returned to normal, "Miss Su."
Just at this moment, the waiters brought the food plates and placed them on the table one by one, and the empty table was soon filled.
Lu Chi knew that now was not a good time to talk, so he smiled and nodded: "Then I won't bother you anymore, and I look forward to seeing you next time."
Before leaving, he looked at Su Yu with gentle eyes and uttered two words softly.
Without looking at the girl's reaction, Lu Chi turned around and left.
Behind him, the girl was suddenly shocked and her eyes trembled when she heard those two words.
Su Yu opened her eyes wide in disbelief and subconsciously chased after him, but she happened to run into Shi Yingjin who was coming back from the bathroom and was stopped by him.
"Where are you going?"
Su Yu pushed him away and continued to chase Lu Chi, but the restaurant was like a maze and she lost him after just a few steps.
Su Yu followed Shi Yingjin back to the table in a daze, and refused to say anything no matter how he asked.
The night view outside the window did not attract her, and the food carefully prepared by the chef was also tasteless.
Su Yu's mind was full of Lu Chi.
Su Yu is the youngest girl in the family. She has been spoiled by her parents and brothers since she was a child. She has a delicate personality and loves to act like a spoiled brat. Her family members jokingly said that they wanted to change her name to Su Jiaojiao. Although it was a joke, over time, Jiaojiao became her nickname.
Only people who are very close to her would call her that.
Even Shi Yingjin didn't know that she had such a nickname.
Lu Chi had known her since childhood and had a good relationship with her second brother, so it was not surprising that he knew this nickname.
But how could Lu Chi in this world know?
Su Yu was upset and wanted desperately to find him and ask him clearly.
Shi Yingjin frowned. He couldn't get anything out of Su Yu, so he went straight to the manager of the restaurant and asked to see the surveillance footage.
The manager originally disagreed, but after seeing Shi Yingjin handing out a membership card of which only ten were issued, he led him to the monitoring room with a smile on his face.
"Please."
Shi Yingjin didn't even bother to look at the manager. He called up the surveillance footage after he left and stared at the screen intently.
Everything is normal.
Shi Yingjin couldn't figure it out, so he had to continue watching. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly and he stared coldly at the person who suddenly appeared on the screen.
This restaurant is on the top floor and does not have private rooms, but it is cleverly designed, using walls and glass to cleverly separate each table of guests, creating an open and private space.
It is inevitable that someone will go the wrong way or get lost.
But Shi Yingjin saw clearly that Lu Chi definitely walked to their side on purpose.
Returning to the dining table, Shi Yingjin pretended that he knew nothing and looked normal.
Su Yu didn't notice anything unusual and was still immersed in her own thoughts.
Finally, after finishing the meal, Shi Yingjin couldn't help but said coldly with a heavy look in his eyes: "Stay away from Lu Zhi, he has bad intentions."
As the object of unilateral comparison by Lu Chi, Shi Yingjin realized it very early on. No matter how gentle and polite Lu Chi appeared to be, Shi Yingjin felt that he was not a good person.
It was hard for him not to suspect that Lu Chi approached Su Yu for a purpose.
In short, he definitely has no good intentions.
