Early in the morning, Zi Yi saw Lu Jingye standing in the yard when she came downstairs. Her lips curled up and she deliberately lessened the sound of her footsteps as she approached him.
But unexpectedly, Lu Jingye turned around and looked at her when she was just arriving at the door.
Meeting with those deep-set eyes of his, she greeted him without an ounce of guilty consciousness. “Good morning, Lu Jingye.”
“Good morning.”
Zi Yi walked over to him and she subconsciously looked towards his Adam’s apple.
She then discovered that the dress shirt he was wearing today had covered his throat when it was buttoned to the top.
Zi Yi: “…”
Lu Jingye noticed the young lady’s gaze and her eyes darkened. He spoke with his usual voice. “Don’t you want to know what happened last night?”
“Yep…”
Zi Yi casually answered, and her line of sight was still on the topmost button of his dress shirt.
She had the impulse to unbutton it.
Lu Jingye’s fingers that were by his sides twitched. “Do you remember the wooden box you found previously in your courtyard?”
“Yes.”
“In the wooden box, there’s an important item to the killer organization. The reason why your villa remained unsold was because they had done something behind the scenes. That wooden box had been buried down there around two years ago. ”
“Hmm?” Zi Yi finally shifted her gaze to his eyes. “The manager who sold the house said that the original owner had headed abroad to develop his career. It was only put up for sale a year ago?”
“This is not the whole truth. The original owner had gone abroad several years back. It was only the previous year did he think of selling the villa.”
Zi Yi finally understood what happened. “So, the killer organization had shamelessly taken that villa as their turf?”
“Yes.”
“Heh!”
Zi Yi sneered. “No wonder there would be people from the killer organization dropping by from time to time.”
Her expression became solemn as she said, “Those people think I am in cahoots with your younger brother and so, they are aiming for me?”
“Yes. I did not give enough consideration. I’m sorry. You can stay at my villa for the following period of time.
“No…” Zi Yi had a personality where she would remain as a quiet beautiful young lady if no one provoked her. However, if they touched her reverse scale, she would find it stifling if she does not resolve them.
“They think I am in cahoots with your younger brother and wanted to capture me?”
“Yes.”
“Then I’d like to see if they have the capability to do so!”
She headed inside the villa after that. She had to purchase more things to upgrade the protective fence in her backyard.
However, Lu Jingye called out to her, “Yiyi, don’t be impulsive. We’ve already set up a scheme to catch them. There’s no need for you to take risks.”
Lu Jingye looked at her bandaged arm and added. “Those people use underhanded and strange ways to deal damage. Don’t tell me you want another injection shot?”
The scene where she jumped into his embrace surfaced in her mind and her lips curved up.
She felt that getting another shot was pretty good too.
Therefore she revealed a solemn expression and said in all seriousness, “No, they’ve come to my turf to bully me. If I don’t retaliate, random joes will dare to come to cause trouble for me in the future.”
Lu Jingye looked at her beautiful eyes shining brightly due to fury. He thought for a moment and said, “If you insist, you must bring more bodyguards with you. Also… I’m coming with you.”
