“I know, but I don’t believe Wanwan could forget so many years of feelings,” Feng Yunzhou suddenly replied to Qin Mo.
Chen Xing and Qin Mo silently shook their heads at the stubborn Feng Yunzhou. Fine, he'll have to suffer the pain of this love affair.
Meanwhile, the two were still cuddling in the living room of their villa on the South Island.
Lu Jingyan had several boxes of strawberries and cherries that Shi Wan liked prepared and placed them in the villa. He took some into the kitchen and washed them carefully.
Shi Wan watched the videos sent by her dance teacher every day on her tablet, and carefully recorded the movements of each young dancer in her notebook.
Lu Jingyan placed the freshly washed fruit on the table, strode onto the sofa, and casually pulled Shi Wan into his arms.
Because she was too focused on the video content, Shi Wan let Lu Jingyan hold her in his arms like a baby.
He didn't even react to the strawberry Lu Jingyan offered to his mouth. He didn't interrupt Shi Wan's thoughts, but just quietly watched the video with her.
The man would occasionally brush his short hair against the girl's earlobe, making Shi Wan frown slightly as she felt itchy.
Unable to concentrate on her work due to the disturbance, Shi Wan put down her tablet and stared at Lu Jingyan, who was acting spoiled, with her almond-shaped eyes feigning anger.
"The students have a competition coming up, and if you keep clinging to me every day, it'll be your fault if they don't win any awards," Shi Wan said, glancing at him irritably.
"Hmm... You do your thing, I'll do mine, I won't bother you." Lu Jingyan smelled the fragrance in Shi Wan's hair and unconsciously rubbed his chin against it.
"But I can't concentrate on watching the video like this," Shi Wan said in a low voice, glaring at her.
"Let's eat some fruit first, and then we'll watch it later." Lu Jingyan reached out and tossed the tablet from Shi Wan's hand aside, then picked up a strawberry and offered it to her lips.
Just as Shi Wan was about to take a bite of the strawberry, she suddenly remembered something and her face instantly flushed red.
"Didn't we eat these strawberries last night...?"
Speaking of strawberries, Shi Wan recalled how Lu Jingyan used her favorite strawberries to bully her last night, and suddenly a layer of mist clouded her almond-shaped eyes.
"You! I won't eat it..." It's all his fault; she can't look at strawberries right now.
Lu Jingyan stared at Shi Wan's dreamy eyes and her rosy lips.
"Then let's switch to cherries tonight; cherries are sweeter and juicier..."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Lu Jingyan suddenly lowered his head and kissed the girl's lips, fiercely and unrestrainedly, and then gradually went too far.
Even when Shi Wan tremblingly begged for mercy, her eyes glistening with tears, her hoarse voice tinged with sobs, yet all the more beautiful and alluring, Lu Jingyan ultimately did not let go.
The night grew increasingly dark, and from inside the room came soft moans and panting sounds that made one blush.
...
And on the top floor of the South Island Night Bar.
The Chu brothers, Chu Ningxuan and Chu Ningyi, were drinking aimlessly in the private room.
Chu Ningyi glanced sideways at Chu Ningxuan and said in a deep voice, "Where is Teacher Wu Nian, whom I asked you to contact?"
"Uh... Ever since Lao Lu started dating Miss Shi, he rarely comes out to meet with us. Every time I see her, it's at Qingshan Yazhu."
Chu Ningxuan felt his scalp tingle under his older brother's gaze. Despite being only a few years apart in age, his brother's deep and steady personality was completely different from his own.
Apart from his sister-in-law and aunt, who were both outgoing and naturally optimistic, the rest of the Chu family members always had a stern face and acted like old-fashioned stern men.
"Miss Shi?" Chu Ningyi looked up in confusion.
"Yes, Wu Nian is Shi Wan. Shi Wan is Master Wu Wang's disciple and also Lu Jingyan's girlfriend whom I failed to introduce to you last time."
Chu Ningyi stared intently at the golden liquid in the wine glass, his deep black eyes revealing no emotion.
"But speaking of Shi Wan, I feel very close to her every time I see her, especially that little red mole on her face. She always looks familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen her before."
Chu Ningxuan slowly sipped his wine, shaking his head from time to time as he thought of Lu Jingyan clinging to Shi Wan like a dog every day, never taking her out to play.
"The red mole on your face? Where is it?" Chu Ningyi turned to look at Chu Ningxuan and asked slowly.
"It's a small, cute little thing on the side of the nose. Otherwise, this Lu dog wouldn't have had a crush on her for so many years, from Y country to the capital, and then from the capital back to Beijing."
“Country Y? A red mole on the nose.” Chu Ningyi’s eyes darkened as he muttered to himself.
"Wait! Brother, are you going to betray your sister-in-law? You already have a child! Don't even think about doing something that goes against morality and ethics!" Chu Ningxuan looked at his older brother in horror and shouted loudly.
If his family found out he was involved in the introduction, they'd break one of his legs; but if Lu Jingyan found out, it wouldn't just be a matter of one leg.
Hearing what Chu Ningxuan said, Chu Ningyi's already slightly furrowed brows tightened even more. "Shut up! You idle away your days doing nothing. Can't you put anything useful in your head?"
"Oh..." Chu Ningxuan silently shut his mouth.
At this moment, the door to the private room was opened, and Ji Chu rushed in. As soon as he sat down, he drank the wine that Chu Ningxuan had just poured for him in one gulp.
"Old Ji, what's wrong with you...?"
Chu Ningxuan glanced at Ji Chu sideways. Was he in such a hurry to be reborn? He's a doctor now, yet he's still not composed at all.
"Yeah, ran into an acquaintance." As always, he was indifferent, pursed his lips, and poured him another glass of wine.
Chu Ningxuan glanced at his watch. "What's wrong with Zhao Zhilin? He organized the gathering himself, asked me to invite people, but he's not showing up himself."
He looked impatiently toward the door, just as the door to the private room opened and a graceful figure appeared in the doorway.
Ji Meng sported a head of large, wavy hair, exquisite makeup, a curvaceous figure, and a beige short dress that hugged her body.
Seeing his older brother, Chu Ningxuan, and an unfamiliar man in the private room, he walked straight to the sofa without looking at anyone, picked up a glass of wine, and started drinking.
"Tsk tsk tsk... Miss Ji, I was just talking about Zhao Zhilin and here you are. When did you two become so in sync?" Chu Ningxuan teased from the side.
Ji Meng glanced at him sideways, then snorted irritably, "You, want to go on a blind date with me?"
who?
The three men present simultaneously turned to look at Ji Meng with a puzzled expression.
As soon as Ji Meng finished speaking, the door to the private room was pushed open, and Zhao Zhilin, who was standing at the door, looked at Chu Ningxuan with a slightly darkened gaze.
When Ji Meng saw Zhao Zhilin walking towards her, her beautiful peach blossom eyes turned a little cold.
Then she turned to Chu Ningxuan, sat down next to him with a smile, and hugged him in a slightly coquettish tone.
“Brother Ningxuan, my mom just called and said that Aunt Chu wants us to get to know each other, to see if we can hit it off.”
Chu Ningxuan was already feeling uneasy under Zhao Zhilin's venomous gaze, and now with Ji Meng's instigation, a chill ran down his spine.
Chu Ningxuan cast a pleading look at Ji Chu, implying that Ji Chu should come and rescue him quickly, or he would lose a friend forever.
Ji Chu shrugged, indicating that he couldn't help. Everyone was afraid of the older generation in aristocratic families pressuring them to get married.
Chu Ningxuan: Am I one of the people in your play?
"Stop, stop! Miss Ji, I have someone I like. Don't play me for a fool. I can't handle Old Zhao's wrath."
Seeing himself caught in the crossfire, he quickly distanced himself, saying he wanted to live a few more years.
“But, according to our parents, since neither of us is married, why don’t we fulfill their wishes and get to know each other first?” Ji Meng still wouldn’t let Chu Ningxuan off the hook, deliberately bringing up the blind date in front of Zhao Zhilin.
"Miss Ji, Sister Ji, can you please let me go? Old Zhao is still single, why don't you two get together?"
“Besides having Miss An as his fiancée, he also has several close female friends. How could it be my turn?” Ji Meng glanced at Zhao Zhilin with annoyance.
Ji Meng's words made Ji Chu raise his eyes to look at Zhao Zhilin, his scrutiny undisguised.
“Mengmeng was sent by An Yun. I had my men tie those people up, and we’ll find out when we get back and interrogate them.”
Zhao Zhilin stared intently at Ji Meng, gently coaxing the sulking woman in front of him.
"Isn't that because you gave him a loophole? You knew perfectly well that An Yun was unscrupulous and would do anything to get you."
Ji Meng bit her red lips, her almond-shaped eyes misting over, mostly worried that the man in front of her might encounter unforeseen dangers.
She didn't want the two of them to separate again, but she also didn't want Zhao Zhilin to risk his life to deal with the grudges with the An family.
Seeing that the two weren't paying attention to him, Chu Ningxuan quickly pulled his hand away and ran to his older brother's side.
Chu Ningyi glanced at his younger brother sideways, indicating that he deserved it.
After hearing Zhao Zhilin and Ji Meng's explanation, Ji Chu did not make any further comments, but his furrowed brows relaxed slightly.
The issues between the Zhao and An families cannot be resolved in a day or two, and Zhao Zhilin and Lu Jingyan have already begun to take action.
Sooner or later, Anjia's mansion will be overturned by them.
