Chapter 381 What's the big deal? Why mobilize such a large force?
Qin Jiaojiao was popping balloons in the back and rolled her eyes silently: "You are the one who asked for it."
Lu Jianheng picked up a balloon and flung it at Qin Jiaojiao: "You're the only one who talks too much." He walked to the chair next to his second brother and sat down: "I'm tired, let's take a break."
Lu Chixu stood at the table, sorting through photos of Lu Shiman from childhood to adulthood. "I told you to stop hanging out at night. You're so weak..."
"Lu Lao Er, you are the weak one." Lu Jianheng raised his foot and kicked Lu Chixu in the butt, in return he was beaten severely.
"Hurry up, it won't be ready until someone arrives." Huo Beiyan walked to the table and looked down at the photos: "Lu Shiman looked quite human when he was a child."
As soon as he said this, several gazes locked onto him like the infrared rays of a sniper rifle.
Qin Jiaojiao stepped forward and twisted his waist: "If you can't speak, go eat shit."
"Hiss..." Huo Beiyan dodged in pain, then turned around and quickly took a sip of Qin Jiaojiao's face: "Eat it."
Qin Jiaojiao's mind was not that sharp. She only thought that she was kissed in front of her brothers and didn't react at all that she was being scolded.
"Huo Beiyan, if you keep kissing me like this, I'm going to beat you up."
When Lu Chixu heard her words, he looked up at her and said, "I finally understand why you and Lu Shiman have such a good relationship."
"Why?" Qin Jiaojiao stared at her second brother eagerly.
Lu Jianheng chuckled and picked up a photo of Lu Shiman sitting on a carousel. His voice was lazy and contained a hint of laughter: "Because..."
He paused, then tapped the photo against her forehead. "...You two have equal IQs and like-minded people."
The photo fell on the table. Qin Jiaojiao picked it up. Xiao Lu Shiman in the photo was smiling brightly.
"Go and get that board..." Lu Chixu kicked Lu Jianheng and gave an order.
Seeing that he had to work again, Lu Jianheng kicked the paint bucket beside him to vent his anger: "Doesn't Ji Linshen have the money to hire a professional to do it?"
"When he proposes, we brothers do the hard work. When he poops, do we brothers have to clean up his mess?"
Lu Jianheng walked away cursing.
"Why haven't the eldest brother and the fourth brother come yet?" Qin Jiaojiao handed the balloon to Chu Qi, clapped her hands and looked towards the door.
"My eldest brother has a multinational meeting this afternoon. I don't know what the fourth brother has been busy with these days. He goes out early and comes back late." Lu Chixu responded.
In fact, there are very few things they are asked to do, basically just some trivial tasks, and the overall layout is still done by a professional team.
The car passed through the congested road and drove smoothly towards the suburbs.
In the spacious back seat, Lu Shiman sat sideways and never stopped talking.
He enthusiastically shared with Ji Linshen beside him the company gossip he heard in the president's office today.
Her fingers tapped Ji Linshen's arm from time to time as she told the story.
Ji Linshen actually didn't hear a word she said.
His mind was elsewhere, rehearsing the words he would use to propose later over and over in his head, his hands on his knees clenching and unclenching slightly.
The closer he got to his destination, the more nervous he became.
Especially considering Lu Shiman's unconventional personality, what if she suddenly refuses...
He thought he might go crazy on the spot.
"Hey!" Lu Shiman suddenly stopped talking, reached out to touch Ji Linshen's cheek, raised her eyebrows: "Ji Linshen! Are you listening to me?" She held his face with both hands and forced his gaze from the window to her front.
"I heard it." Ji Linshen came back to his senses and instinctively raised his hand to hold her wrist, his thumb unconsciously rubbing against her delicate skin.
Then he turned his face and gently placed a kiss on her warm palm.
"Liar!" Lu Shiman curled his lips and raised his chin slightly: "Then repeat what I just said."
Ji Linshen: "......"
He was speechless for a moment, his lips moved but no sound came out, and his eyes drifted away with a little embarrassment.
Seeing his reaction, Lu Shiman snorted, lowered her head with a little dissatisfaction, opened her mouth and bit his lower lip lightly: "I knew you didn't listen. Tell me, which little idiot are you thinking about?"
Ji Linshen was slightly startled by her bite, and then the corners of his taut mouth loosened and he laughed softly: "Who else can I think of besides you?"
Lu Shiman reacted and pinched his lips with his fingers: “You cursed.”
"I didn't." Ji Linshen defended himself good-temperedly.
"I scolded you, and you called me a little idiot."
"I didn't say that. That's not what I meant." He insisted, his tone full of indulgence.
"I said it." Lu Shiman insisted.
Ji Linshen looked at her unreasonable little appearance, the smile in his eyes deepened, and he finally gave in: "Okay, okay, okay, you said what I said, then that's what I said."
"Hmm~" The fake unhappiness on Lu Shiman's face immediately disappeared: "Then apologize to me."
Ji Linshen followed suit, his voice low and smiling: "I'm sorry."
"That's right!" Lu Shiman's face lit up instantly. She leaned over and kissed him on the lips. "I forgive you. Next time, think before you speak and be more careful. Do you understand?"
Ji Linshen chuckled softly and held her in his arms, resting his chin lightly on the top of her head, rubbing his nose against her hair, sighing comfortably, and stopped talking.
Silence returned to the carriage, leaving only the sound of the wheels rolling steadily over the road.
The car turned a corner on the sycamore-lined avenue, and Lu Shiman looked at the scenery passing by outside the window curiously.
The car finally stopped in front of a tall cast iron carved door.
She half-crouched by the window, and through the gaps in the iron patterns, she could see the leaping fountain water deep in the courtyard and the outline of the classical building hidden among the green trees.
Is this a manor?
The iron door slowly opened inward with a slight motor sound.
The last ray of orange-red sunlight was swallowed by the skyline at the moment the door opened, and the thick night rolled silently.
The decorative light strings throughout the manor lit up at the same time as if breathing, instantly brightening the darkened vision.
Lu Shiman turned her head suddenly, her fingers unconsciously grasping his arm: "Ji Linshen..." There was a hint of uncertainty and surprise in her voice: "This is also yours... mine?"
She tilted her head, her eyes fixed on his slightly tense profile.
"Yes, yours." Ji Linshen opened the car door and pulled her out.
Lu Shiman glanced at the familiar cars nearby. "It's okay if your fiancé is here, but why are my brother and his family here too?"
"What are we doing here?" Lu Shiman turned around to look at Ji Linshen.
Ji Linshen became more and more nervous, and his hand unconsciously tightened around her: "Do something big."
"What big deal is it that requires such a big fuss?" Lu Shiman had a vague guess in his mind, but he was not sure.
"Propose to you."
