Chapter 48 48 It’s been too frequent these days, I’m very tired...
Fu Yunlu was washing dishes in the kitchen. Liang Guanyue went to the balcony and answered a call from Ji Wenting, asking him what he wanted.
"Guan Yue, you said you would help me last time, is that true?"
Liang Guanyue's expression was cold, but her tone was very gentle: "What happened?"
Ji Wenting bit his nails and cried, "Mom and Dad locked me up at home and won't let me go out."
Liang Guanyue asked: "Why do you want to be locked up?"
“…They noticed what I was trying to do and didn’t agree with my plan.”
Liang Guanyue was not surprised at all. How could the parents who could send their own son to Fu Yunlu choose to go against Fu Yunlu because of his death?
Ever since Fu Yunlu successfully resolved the issue of District 06, he has been at the peak of his career among the reserve positions. Even Fu Xiaoyu, who was previously on equal footing with him, has temporarily fallen behind him.
The Ji family does not intend to take any risks.
But Ji Wenting was different. She was too young. When people are young, they always have unlimited emotions to squander. Rather than thinking, they are always driven by emotions to take action. What's more, Ji Shun is her biological brother.
Ji Wenting sobbed, "I can't bear to watch him ascend to the throne by stepping on my brother's life. Liang Guanyue, do you understand?"
Liang Guanyue remained silent, saying, "I'll find a way to get you out."
"...But you can't get in," Ji Wenting said desperately. "My father has sent people to guard all four sides of my room."
"Don't be afraid. I'll think of a way." Liang Guanyue lowered her eyes, tapping the railing with her knuckles. After a moment, she said, "Wenting, what are you going to do when you get out? Your parents don't agree with you doing this, so you can't use the Ji family's connections."
"I have every bit of evidence against Fu Yunlu over the years—including every mess he's cleaned up for his brother," Ji Wenting said. "If even just one of them gets out, he'll fall from grace!"
"Are they in your hands now?"
"...It's not here." Ji Wenting whispered, "Before he died, my brother told me where he was hiding. Only I can enter there... But I've been in a daze these past few days and haven't had time to get it out." She said, "So I have to escape."
Liang Guanyue told her with satisfaction: "Fu Yunlu plans to visit the Ji family in a couple of days. I will beg him to take me with him. Then I will find a way to get your parents to call you out. With Fu Yunlu around, they won't dare to imprison you openly. You can find a chance to escape."
"...Guan Yue, can I trust you?" Ji Wenting clenched his palms. "You really don't like Fu Yunlu, right?"
Liang Guanyue coaxed: "Wenting, if I have the right to choose, I think I would be willing to be with you."
"Okay." Ji Wenting mustered up the courage to confess, "Guan Yue, if I can successfully avenge my brother, then... we can be together, okay?"
Liang Guanyue bent down and picked up a dead leaf that had been blown onto the balcony. He turned it over in his hands to check for the veins and said casually, "Okay, I'll wait for that day."
After dealing with Ji Wenting, he went down to the kitchen to see how Fu Yunlu was doing. He opened the door and asked, "It's just a few bowls. Are they not done yet?"
Fu Yunlu leaned on the edge of the kitchen counter with both hands. When she heard Liang Guanyue's voice, she turned around and smiled: "I'm looking at the recipe, wondering if I can make you breakfast tomorrow."
Liang Guanyue walked behind him, pulled off the string of his apron, and said, "I just mentioned cooking casually. You don't have to take it so seriously."
Fu Yunlu turned her head and kissed him, then smiled and said, "After eating the meal you cooked tonight, I always feel that I can't owe you anything in this regard."
"Why?"
"I think with your personality, you probably don't like cooking."
Liang Guanyue raised his eyebrows slightly: "...Indeed."
Fu Yunlu said, "So you know this because no one cooks for you, right?"
Liang Guanyue shrugged. "It's because we're too poor, actually. We can't afford cheap nutrition solutions or bread every day, so we go to the market at night to pick up scraps that others don't want and cook them ourselves."
Fu Yunlu was stunned for a moment, then leaned back with his back against Liang Guanyue's chest. He raised his hand to let Liang Guanyue look at the screen displayed on the computer. On it was the recipe for the dish that Fu Yunlu had just checked. He said, "Guanyue, I won't let you suffer even a little bit from now on." He pecked the corner of Liang Guanyue's lips again, "Eat whatever you want. If you want to eat what I cook, I'll learn how to make it, okay?"
Liang Guanyue didn't say yes or no, but just put her arms around his waist and leaned her face against his shoulder. Her emerald green eyes stared at him motionlessly. After a while, she blinked slowly. Fu Yunlu smiled gently and asked, "What's wrong? You're not talking."
"...Nothing." Liang Guanyue said, "Didn't you say you were going to the Ji family in a few days?"
"Ji Shun is dead, I have to go and express my condolences. By the way, I want to let the Ji family feel at ease."
"Can you take me with you?"
This sentence seemed to have touched Fu Yunlu's heart. He frowned and asked cautiously, "What are you doing at the Ji family?" He added something else, "Or do you want to see someone?"
Liang Guanyue raised the corners of her lips: "Yes, I plan to meet Ji Wenting. Is my brother going to be angry again?"
"..." Fu Yunlu pushed Liang Guanyue's hand that was wrapped around her waist, but Liang Guanyue didn't intend to let him escape. She tightened her grip around her. Fu Yunlu said irritably, "Let go. I don't want to use any force on you."
"If I let go, you're not going to listen to me until I finish what I'm saying." Liang Guanyue asked curiously, "Do you hate Wen Ting that much?"
"...Wenting?" Fu Yunlu sneered, "You'd better stop calling her that, baby."
"Wenting." Liang Guanyue didn't believe Fu Yunlu could vent her anger on him, so he shouted fearlessly, "Wenting, Wenting, I called, and now what?"
"..." Fu Yunlu sighed, her breathing becoming heavier. "Are you determined to test my patience on this topic?"
Liang Guanyue said, "Brother, don't you wonder why I want to go to the Ji family with you?"
Fu Yunlu said in a deep voice: "Don't you just want to see how that omega is doing?"
Liang Guanyue thought Fu Yunlu was on the verge of exploding. If he continued teasing her, she might not want to listen to him anymore, so he said, "No, I want you to find a suitable Alpha for her."
Fu Yunlu thought she had misheard: "What?"
"Her future is destined for an arranged marriage anyway, so why don't you, brother, do her a favor and find an Alpha of the right age and appearance among the major families, and have you facilitate this marriage.
"The Ji family just lost their eldest son. Now my brother stepped forward and let Ji Wenting successfully represent the Ji family to marry into another family. This will not only put the Ji family's leaders at ease, but also provide Miss Wenting with a good lifelong plan."
Liang Guanyue smiled slowly and said, "It can also prevent my brother from getting angry whenever he hears her name. Isn't that perfect?"
Fu Yunlu pondered for a moment and said, "This is indeed a good idea." He looked at Liang Guanyue and said, "Can you bear to see Ji Wenting marry another Alpha like this?"
Liang Guanyue stood up and lowered his head to kiss Fu Yunlu's lips: "What happens to her is none of my business. As long as my brother is happy, I'm happy." He said, "I want to go to the Ji family with you because Assistant Ji has helped me a lot. As my brother's lover, I should go with you on this trip, right?" [Kiss above the neck]
Fu Yunlu couldn't resist Liang Guanyue's sweet kisses at all, completely surrendering to his kiss. She turned around in his embrace, leaning against the edge of the table, her mouth open, letting Liang Guanyue tease her. [Is kissing above the neck a violation of sexual censorship laws for two people in a relationship?]
"Baby..." Liang Guanyue whispered in his ear, "Fulfill your obligations..."
"..." Liang Guanyue rubbed the mole under Fu Yunlu's lip with his thumb and said with a smile, "Brother, I'm just younger than you, not really a child."
Fu Yunlu thought that Liang Guanyue, who loved to act like a spoiled child, was a child who needed to be pampered by him, so he pretended not to hear, rubbed him, and said, "Don't you want to do anything?"
Liang Guanyue said: "It's been too frequent these days. I'm very tired."
Fu Yunlu looked at him dimly: "If you're tired, we can try something else." He tempted her with evil intentions, "I'll be really careful. It won't hurt at all..."
Liang Guanyue looked at him aggrievedly: "Why, brother, you want to go back on your word again."
Acting cute again, and claiming she's not a child. Fu Yunlu thought about this and asked, "I want it now, but you don't react and don't want to come. Isn't this the only way?"
Liang Guanyue pried his mouth open with her thumb and said coquettishly with a smile, "Brother, can you kneel down here and show your brotherly respect for a while... If you feel comfortable, maybe I'll be happy to let you smell like my pheromones for the next few days?"
“…”
Fu Yunlu looked at him helplessly. Liang Guanyue pouted: "Just now you said that you would never let me suffer even a little bit again..."
“…” Fu Yunlu sighed, then knelt down on one knee.
During the review, they really just knelt on one knee out of brotherly respect.
