Lu Nanying turned her head to look at the man sitting beside the bed, her eyes red and swollen, revealing her inner uneasiness and heartache.
She stretched out her hand and placed it on his clenched fist. The man subconsciously loosened his fist. Lu Nanying hooked his little finger and said in a soft voice, as if with a hint of coquettishness: "Brother Chengzhou."
Ji Chengzhou's body stiffened, his eyes revealing a joy that was hard to conceal. He turned to look at her, his gaze gradually becoming hot as he stared into her beautiful eyes.
"Brother Chengzhou, I'm sorry. I said a lot of hurtful things to you, and I know I was wrong. I know you like me very much, so from now on, I will learn to like you too, okay?" She met his eyes and spoke very seriously and clearly.
Ji Chengzhou's pupils suddenly constricted, his heart pounding violently, and an expression of disbelief crossed his face. He was on the verge of losing control, and he spoke in a hoarse voice, "Lu Nanying, if you just need someone to comfort you, I can accompany you. But don't say that to me." He stood up, took two steps toward the door, and suddenly stopped. "Because I would take it seriously. Go to bed early."
The door closed, and he leaned against the wall outside, breathing rapidly, the corners of his lips curled up, and the smile in his eyes could not be hidden. He tilted his head and whispered softly: "Baby, since you said you want to learn to like me, then I will never let you go, even if I die."
Lu Nanying stared at the closed door, bit her lip, sniffed softly, pulled up the quilt and lay on her side, breathing in the same cedar scent on the pillow as on Ji Chengzhou's body, thinking to herself: "Ji Chengzhou, I will never let you down in this life." Then she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Ji Chengzhou lay on the bed in the guest room, his dark pupils as silent as the night. He recalled Lu Nanying's expression when he had just spoken, sincere and serious, and his heart was full of anticipation.
He took the mobile phone from the bedside table, sent a text message, turned off the night light on the bedside, and slowly fell asleep.
In the early morning, halfway up the mountain in November, the air was slightly cool, and the wind was filled with morning moisture.
The door to the master bedroom was gently pushed open. The person on the bed was still fast asleep. Her slender body looked even smaller lying on his large bed. Her sleeping face was like a beautiful painting. Just looking at it made him intoxicated and unable to extricate himself.
Ji Chengzhou went into the bathroom to wash up, and prepared the toiletries that Lu Nanying would need for getting up, and then went downstairs to prepare breakfast.
He likes quietness and does not like to be disturbed by many people in his daily life. He will never ask others to do things for him. Therefore, except for the housekeeper who will bring people to clean the villa on time every day and replace the food in the refrigerator and daily necessities in the house, he will not show up without permission at other times.
He opened the refrigerator, took out shrimp and tomatoes, and made porridge for Lu Nanying. She drank a lot of wine last night, and the weather was a little cold, so she needed something to warm her stomach in the morning.
Lu Nanying was an absolute foodie. Whenever there was something delicious in Jing City, she would be the first to try it. Ji Chengzhou had doted on her since she was little, and whenever there was something new, delicious, or fun, he would bring it to her immediately.
In the Ji family, his father also doted on his mother unconditionally and often cooked himself to make his mother happy. Over time, he was also influenced by his father and had good cooking skills. He hoped that one day he would be able to cook for his beloved wife like his father.
Forty minutes later, the aroma of seafood porridge wafted through the restaurant. Ji Chengzhou turned off the stove and walked to the coffee machine to make a cup of black coffee. He walked into the dining room, put down his coffee, pulled up a chair, sat down, and casually picked up his tablet to check the company news for the day.
In the bedroom, warm sunlight shone on the face of the girl on the bed. She opened her eyes slightly, looked at everything in the room, and slowly sat up.
A soft light was on in the bathroom. Lu Nanying threw back the covers, got out of bed, and walked towards the bedroom. As soon as he opened the door, he saw the sink filled with warm water and toothpaste for rinsing his mouth. A warm feeling flowed through his heart.
She looked at the things prepared on the sink: facial cleanser, toothpaste, toothbrush, all brands she was used to. Even the face towel was the same one she used at home.
After washing up, she opened the door, smelled the faint fragrance coming from downstairs, and hurried downstairs.
Ji Chengzhou heard footsteps behind him, put down his tablet, stood up and walked towards the kitchen. Lu Nanying walked to the dining table and looked at Ji Chengzhou holding the still steaming seafood porridge. Her face flushed slightly and she said softly, "Good morning, Brother Chengzhou."
Ji Chengzhou put down the bowl in his hand, pulled out the chair next to him, returned to his seat, took a sip of coffee, and said gently: "Well, good morning, sit down and have breakfast."
Lu Nanying was not polite and sat down to eat in small bites. She knew Ji Chengzhou's living habits and there were no other servants in the villa, so this porridge must have been made by him in the morning. Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth curled up.
Ever since she came downstairs, Ji Chengzhou's eyes have never left the girl. Now looking at her smile, his deep eyes were filled with doting, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Seeing that the girl had almost finished eating, Ji Chengzhou put down the coffee cup in his hand and said gently: "Have you finished eating? If you are finished, go upstairs to clean up and I will take you home."
Lu Nanying put down the spoon in her hand, looked up at the man, a hint of loss between her brows. She didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.
Ji Chengzhou pulled out a tissue from the table, wiped the corner of her mouth, and coaxed her softly: "I have to go to the company. You didn't go home last night. Although I told your brother, but you stayed out overnight, Uncle Lu and Aunt Xi will be worried. If you want to come over next time, I'll pick you up, okay?"
Seeing that he didn't want to drive her away, Lu Nanying smiled, revealing two beautiful dimples on her cheeks, making her look particularly cute. She nodded gently, stood up and walked upstairs.
When she went downstairs again, the food on the dining table had been cleared away. Ji Chengzhou, wearing a dark gray suit and the latest limited edition watch on his wrist, was standing at the door waiting for her, looking down at his phone.
Lu Nanying looked at the man's tall and straight body, and couldn't help but think of how he looked like after taking a shower last night. A blush appeared on her face. She lowered her head and slowly approached the man.
Ji Chengzhou listened to the footsteps, put away his phone, glanced at the person who came, and then walked out quickly.
The car was driving on the road during the morning rush hour. The two people in the car had no communication at all. The man was driving seriously, and the girl was looking at the people coming and going outside the car window, feeling the hustle and bustle of the city streets.
