Lin Yusheng lightly stepped on his foot, "You know perfectly well what I mean."
Lu Zhengye chuckled, "Are you feeling better now?"
"It's alright, but she might not be feeling too comfortable."
"Who cares about her? She brought this on herself. I only care about your feelings," Lu Zhengye said.
Lin Yusheng was very satisfied with the answer and instantly felt relieved.
Jiang Yanqi saw the intimacy between the two out of the corner of her eye, and she was so angry that she trembled all over and played several wrong notes.
After the dance ended, the entire audience erupted in applause.
Lin Yusheng let go of Lu Zhengye's hand and returned to her mother's side.
Lu Jing and Lu Jiwen saw through the two's little actions and were secretly pleased.
Lu Zhengye returned to Lu Jing's side.
Lu Jing smiled and said, "How about we find a time for your dad to go to the Lin family to propose marriage?"
Lu Zhengye looked at Lu Jiwen, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, "No rush."
“You’re not in a hurry, but Sheng Sheng is a young lady, you can’t let her suffer.”
Lu Zhengye was then moved.
After a long while, he looked in Lin Yusheng's direction and said, "I understand."
Lin Yusheng turned around as if sensing something, and their eyes met. She smiled slightly.
Lu Zhengye's aura softened considerably.
...
Wen Nian finally found a chance to speak with Lu Zhengye.
Now, Lu Zhengye only has Wei Qing by his side.
He walked over to him with a glass of wine in his hand and whispered, "Brother."
Lu Zhengye looked at him with some helplessness, "Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"
"Can I still come after I told you?" Wen Nian asked, sounding a little aggrieved.
"You think I wouldn't let you come?"
Wen Nian felt a little guilty and changed the subject, saying, "Sister Yan Qi is very sad."
Lu Zhengye and Wei Qing frowned at the same time.
"Stay away from her from now on."
Wei Qing, "A-Nian, have you forgotten how she treated Teacher Zhang back then?"
“But she already knows she was wrong, and Sister Yanqi really hopes you can forgive her.”
Lu Zhengye's face darkened. "Do you think she's wronged me?"
Isn't that so?
“If she really wants to apologize, she should go down and talk to Teacher Zhang,” Lu Zhengye said sarcastically.
Wen Nian was shocked. "Brother, do you want Sister Yan Qi to die? How could you be so cruel? Or did that woman give you some kind of bewitching drug?"
Lu Zhengye was truly angry this time. He glanced at her coldly and said, "This has nothing to do with her. If you still call me 'brother,' then show her some respect."
Wen Nian bit her lip and said in a low voice, unconvinced, "How is she better than Sister Yan Qi?"
Wen Nian knew Jiang Yanqi even earlier than Lu Zhengye and Wei Qing, and Jiang Yanqi had taken care of him when he was a child, so he had long regarded Jiang Yanqi as his older sister.
“There’s no comparison,” Lu Zhengye said.
"Jiang Yanqi is not even as good as a single hair on her head."
Wen Nian fell silent, gritting his teeth inwardly.
Lu Zhengye said, "From now on, you should stay by my side and have less contact with Jiang Yanqi."
"knew."
Lu Zhengye could tell that although Wen Nian had verbally agreed, he was still unconvinced.
But he and Jiang Yanqi have a good relationship, so this matter can only be dealt with slowly.
Wei Qing also said, "Jiang Yanqi still recognizes her enemy as her father, she doesn't deserve your help. Your current sister-in-law is a hundred times better than her."
Wen Nian felt even more annoyed. What was so good about that woman? Everyone around his brother was speaking up for her.
He simply refused to believe in superstitions.
"Then I'll find an opportunity later to apologize to her for what happened last time?"
Lu Zhengye was pleased with the outcome, "Okay, keep a better tone, don't be sarcastic."
"knew."
Wei Qing laughed out loud. Anyone who knew Wen Nian well knew his ability to be sarcastic and unpredictable.
Wen Nian rolled her eyes at him unhappily.
Dad, Mom, and brother all went out for social engagements. Because of her acting fame, Lin Yusheng has gained a group of female fans in the entertainment industry.
Just after taking a photo with them, Lin Yusheng turned her head and saw Wen Nian's handsome face.
Knowing that he could hypnotize people, Lin Yusheng reflexively took a big step back.
Wen Nian raised an eyebrow, her smile somewhat sunny, her two canine teeth revealing her innocence. "Sister, are you afraid of me?"
Lin Yusheng's heart skipped a beat. Although Wen Nian's smile was innocent and harmless, she still felt uncomfortable.
"You even tried to hypnotize me last time, how can I not be afraid of you?"
Wen Nian still smiled, "Sister, don't be afraid. My hypnosis won't hurt people. It will only make people tell the truth."
Lin Yusheng's inner monologue: That's why I'm scared.
"What do you need me for?"
Lin Yusheng felt a strong aversion to being with him; his smile had a sinister quality that made her uncomfortable.
Wen Nian said obediently, "I'm here to apologize to you."
"I apologize for my earlier attempt to test you."
After he finished speaking, he scratched his head sheepishly.
Lin Yusheng was somewhat surprised; he seemed to be serious.
Could it be that she's overthinking things?
“It’s okay, it’s all in the past,” Lin Yusheng said.
Even if she still harbored resentment, he was Lu Zhengye's younger brother, so she could still be tolerant.
Wen Nian said, "Brother just told me that I will keep my distance from Jiang Yanqi in the future. I'm new here, and Brother is usually very busy. Can you take me out to play more often in the future?"
Unaware of his malice, Lin Yusheng relaxed slightly. "I'm usually very busy, but if I have time, I can take you out for a stroll."
"Okay." Wen Nian smiled sweetly.
He said, "Then I'll take it as my sister forgiving me, and I can go and explain to my brother."
Lin Yusheng assumed that Lu Zhengye had sent him to apologize, so she searched for him in the crowd.
Lu Zhengye was surrounded by a group of prominent figures. He was the youngest, but he was the focus of attention in the crowd.
Wen Nian said, "He should have been so radiant from birth."
"If you have time, tell me about his past."
Wen Nian raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself: They've taken the bait.
He pressed his tongue against his canine tooth, suppressing his elation, and readily agreed, "Okay."
...
Jiang Yanqi saw Wen Nian and Lin Yusheng chatting happily, and instead of feeling resentful or jealous, she smiled.
She knew Wen Nian; his greatest skill was hiding a knife behind a smile.
That's why she's been spending so much time dealing with this brat lately.
*
The banquet ended at 11 o'clock.
Lin Yusheng blushed and told her parents that she was going back to the Luhu Villa District.
How could Lin Mu and Jiang Yuanshuang not see what their daughter was thinking?
Lu Zhengye is now a leading figure among the younger generation, and they no longer oppose him in their hearts.
Jiang Yuanshuang said, "Go ahead, but take good care of yourself."
“It’s time to bring him back for dinner. Stop keeping this a secret. You can’t keep a man who’s not publicly acknowledged,” Lin Mu said.
Lin Yusheng subconsciously spoke up for Lu Zhengye, "It was my idea not to go public. My career is still on the rise, and it's not appropriate for me to expose my relationship."
