When I returned to the apartment, the night had already fallen.
As soon as she changed into slippers, Shi Wan was carried to the bedroom by Lu Jingyan.
Gently placing Shi Wan on the bed, Shi Wan felt a surge of nervousness. After all, Lu Jingyan had just roughly rubbed her lips in the car, and now her lips were all red and swollen.
Unlike his usual gentle and fleeting kisses, this time Lu Jingyan's kiss was fierce and ruthless, as if he wanted to crush her into his body.
From the moment they established their relationship, Lu Jingyan held the warm, soft woman in his arms every day, but he still didn't go any further inside; he just went in and out of the bathroom more often.
This time, Shi Wan closed her eyes, her slightly parted, moist red lips seeming to know what was about to happen.
As a result, when Lu Jingyan took off her socks, Shi Wan's toes involuntarily curled up slightly due to the sudden exposure to air.
Then a cool sensation spread between her legs. Shi Wan opened her eyes in surprise and saw the man gently massaging her calves and ankles with ointment.
Lu Jingyan rolled up his shirt sleeves above his forearms, revealing his well-defined muscles, and massaged Shi Wan with just the right amount of pressure, as if afraid of hurting her.
Following Ji Chu's instructions, Lu Jingyan patiently massaged Shi Wan for half an hour, and then helped her with rehabilitation exercises.
After a set of exercises, Shi Wan was covered in sweat on her forehead and back. Although Lu Jingyan helped her most of the time, the man in front of her showed no signs of fatigue. Instead, he carefully recorded Shi Wan's condition after each training session in his notebook.
Shi Wan gazed at the man before her, gently smoothing the stray hairs on his forehead. The man had handsome features, a high nose bridge, and an aloof and noble air unlike anyone else.
Suddenly, the man looked up and his gaze met Shi Wan's. Lu Jingyan saw that Shi Wan was staring intently at him.
With a slight upturn of her lips, she teased in a playful tone, "Is Wanwan so captivated by my beauty that she can't help herself? How about your husband grants your wish?"
After saying that, he put his hands through Shi Wan's legs, picked her up, and strode into the bathroom. Shi Wan was startled by his sudden action and quickly wrapped her arms around the man's neck.
He carefully placed Shi Wan on the washbasin, then went to the bathtub to fill it with hot water. He then took out a bathrobe from the wardrobe and let Shi Wan wash away the sweat all over her body.
After saying that, he handed the bath towel to Shi Wan and earnestly instructed her, "Wash the dishes and get dressed, wrap your hair in a towel, and I'll blow-dry your hair for you when you come out."
Shi Wan stared blankly at Lu Jingyan. This man wasn't planning on...
In this relationship, although Lu Jingyan took the initiative more often, he was mostly just talking and would change the subject at crucial moments.
Lu Jingyan gently flicked Shi Wan's forehead. "Little Wanwan, do you still want me to wash your hair?"
"Since Wanwan has accepted, then I will respectfully comply." After saying that, he pretended to take off his clothes and unbuttoned two buttons on his shirt.
When Shi Wan's sexy Adam's apple and pectoral muscles were suddenly revealed, her face flushed red, even though the two of them had kissed and hugged before.
But since she hadn't seen it all, Shi Wan was so frightened that she quickly reached out and pulled his open shirt tighter.
"I...I can manage on my own. You get dressed and don't move!"
After saying that, he ran into the bathroom as if fleeing, leaving Lu Jingyan outside the door chuckling softly.
At that moment, a message popped up on the phone next to the washbasin: "President Lu, someone from the capital has arrived."
Lu Jingyan's eyes turned cold, and a chill emanated from his entire body. His fingers tapped incessantly on the keyboard: "Stir up some trouble in the capital, especially with the Lin family. Cut off their recent collaborations. Also, increase manpower and keep that Feng guy away from Wanwan."
After sending the message, he suppressed his anger and stared at the closed bathroom door.
Wanwan, stay by my side from now on. Even if you don't love me, even if you're just using me, I will protect you...
Autumn nights in Kyoto are different from those in the capital; they have a slight chill in the air.
Meanwhile, in a penthouse suite at Kyoto's most luxurious hotel, Chen Xing reported that the Feng family's cargo ships had been intercepted in the port, and most seriously, several overseas collaborations recently negotiated by the Lin family had all been disrupted.
Seeing his boss's increasingly gloomy face, Chen Xing was covered in cold sweat, waiting for his boss's next instructions, even his breathing became cautious.
Feng Yunzhou looked gloomy, his dark eyes staring out the window, his fingers tapping lightly on the table. Finally, he blurted out, "Speak up to Qin Mo and tell him to handle it."
"President Qin is already handling it. Also, Miss Lin called today but couldn't reach you. She asked when you're returning to the capital." Chen Xing was already drenched in sweat.
Before, I was caught between the boss and Ms. Shi; now I'm caught between the boss and Ms. Lin. Being a personal assistant is too difficult.
"Boss, Miss Lin seems very unhappy. The old house also called to ask for your opinion." Chen Xing cautiously spoke, staring at his expressionless boss.
Chen Xing had been Feng Yunzhou's assistant before he took power, so he naturally had some understanding of what his boss was thinking.
His boss is decisive and efficient in managing the company and his family, but he always keeps his personal life private.
After the Lin family secretly sent Miss Lin abroad without telling the boss, the boss went crazy for the first few years, almost digging three feet into the ground to search for Miss Lin everywhere.
Later, the boss met Miss Shi. He thought Miss Shi could help him let go of the past, but he didn't expect that after bringing Miss Shi back to the country, he would turn around and dump her, and immediately announce his marriage to Lin Zhiyu.
The boss's series of bizarre actions were truly incomprehensible to ordinary people.
"Okay, I'll call her back." Feng Yunzhou stared at his phone for a moment, then looked up and said, "Why hasn't she gone back to Y Country? There are people managing the old house, why hasn't she gone back yet?!"
"Huh?" Chen Xing was momentarily speechless, but then he realized who the boss was talking about. He immediately replied, "Back then, Miss Shi said that she had nothing to do with you anymore, and that whatever she did or was wherever she was had nothing to do with you."
"Furthermore... Boss, the Shi residence in Y country was taken over by the Lu family a few days ago, and all our people were dismissed. Now, to take over again, we need Miss Shi's authorization."
A shadow of gloom flashed across Feng Yunzhou's eyes. "It's Lu Jingyan again. If he knew about the relationship between me and Xiao Wan, would he still protect her like this?"
The scattered lights outside the window were slowly swallowed up by the twilight.
In the imperial capital, the house is closed.
"Grandma, I know Yunzhou is still angry about me going abroad without saying a word, but I can't go against the decision of the elders in the family."
Lin Zhiyu sat obediently next to Grandma Feng, her eyes lowered, sobbing softly.
“I know that the Feng family can’t do many things without Yunzhou, but I also hope to help Yunzhou and make him less burdened.”
"But the wedding date is approaching. Since returning from the capital, Yunzhou has become even quieter, I don't know who he's been seeing. If he doesn't want to marry me, then I... am willing to let him go and find his own happiness."
Lin Zhiyu's bright eyebrows furrowed slightly, her eyes reddened, and her aggrieved expression evoked pity from those around her.
The old lady next to her, with a solemn and dignified expression, looked at the aggrieved Lin Zhiyu with heartache, and gently held Lin Zhiyu's hand with the marks of time.
“Zhiyu, after you went abroad, Yunzhou searched for you for several years as if he had lost his soul. During those years, he didn’t have any other woman by his side, just waiting for you to come back.”
“The bond you’ve built up over childhood can’t be forgotten. If Yunzhou bullies you, just tell me and I’ll make him come back to apologize and make amends.”
After finishing her sentence, Old Madam Feng turned to the butler behind her and said, "Call the young master and ask where he is now. He's about to get married, yet he's never home and doesn't spend time with his fiancée. What is he doing!"
After the old lady finished speaking, she banged her cane hard. The servants around her quickly lowered their heads and went about their business, afraid that the old lady's anger would fall on them.
Lin Zhiyu hugged Grandma Feng, rested her bright little face on her shoulder, and said coquettishly, "Grandma~, you still love Zhiyu the most. Mom always tells me to be more understanding of Yunzhou, but I can't get in touch with Yunzhou. I'm so afraid something has happened to him."
She was well aware of Feng Yunzhou's feelings for her. Since childhood, Feng Yunzhou had been by her side, like a devoted follower. No matter what she did, he would always protect and pamper her.
Therefore, during the internal strife within the Feng family, and with the next leader of the Feng clan uncertain, she voluntarily proposed to leave for another country, largely to escape her engagement with Feng Yunzhou.
She was going to marry the heir of the Feng family, not Feng Yunzhou.
After she learned that Feng Yunzhou had firmly grasped control of the Feng family, she took the initiative to return to China to find him.
Since she publicly claimed that she was forcibly sent abroad under pressure from the Lin family, Feng Yunzhou naturally wouldn't doubt her feelings for him.
She naturally became the matriarch of the Feng family without lifting a finger.
