The car quickly arrived at New City Ancient Garden. As soon as they got out, Lu Beichen instructed Li Yi, "Take Miss Shen to look around nearby and see if there’s anything delicious!"
His intention was to have others leave them alone, and Shen Congling quickly understood, flattering him by saying, "Brother-in-law handsome, take your time talking deeply with Sister Tongtong, we won’t be back anytime soon!" Then, she waved at Li Yi, "Let’s go, let’s go! I’m the most familiar with this area. I’ll treat, you pay!"
Li Yi reluctantly followed Shen Congling and left. Lu Beichen shook his head with a helpless smile.
Once again, only the two of them were left together, and Ji Niandong suddenly felt a bit nervous.
The night breeze was gentle, stirring an inexplicable feeling in people’s hearts.
Lu Beichen held her shoulder with a hint of longing, his voice deep and magnetic, "Tonight should have been our wedding night, but you brought this little girl home, where am I supposed to go?"
His words were suddenly so ambiguous yet reasonable. Ji Niandong glanced at him, her clear bright eyes even more captivating under the blanket of night. The little girl’s words were right; his appearance truly was top-notch. Such a man chasing her to marry was indeed a bit unbelievable.
The nerves he teased felt a bit tense, and Ji Niandong bowed her head slightly, softly replying, "Even if she didn’t come, our home is quite small."
Ignoring her subtle implication, Lu Beichen said, "Once you’re married to me, naturally you’ll live in my house."
He lowered his head, his chin resting lightly on top of her head, so tender and intimate, in the silent night, one could almost hear the heartbeat.
Ji Niandong felt a bit floating again, like being in a dream, yet awake, she followed his words and said, "Lingling should stay here for a few days, once she’s had enough fun, she’ll naturally leave!"
Her voice growing softer, she nearly buried her head in her neck.
Lu Beichen chuckled softly.
"Why are you laughing?" Ji Niandong teased, turning her body away.
Still such a little girl, shy to the extreme.
"I’m happy!" Lu Beichen took a step forward and gently embraced her, sensing her body stiffen instantly, he softly said, "Don’t be afraid, I won’t do anything to you, just a hug!"
Her entire self enveloped in the elegant, woody scent of tobacco, the man’s chest wide and powerful, holding her in his embrace felt extraordinarily solid, Ji Niandong’s vigilant heart gradually relaxed, lowering her head onto his chest.
"Little Uncle?" she muttered in a muffled voice.
"Hmm?" Lu Beichen’s pleasant voice hovered above her head.
Ji Niandong pressed her lips and said, "I actually didn’t agree to Shen Congjun’s request to let him join YT Entertainment."
"I know, but didn’t I just say? Once I’ve agreed to something, it’s not just a game!"
"I said that to deliberately break him up with Linda, not because I still have feelings for him, don’t take it to heart!" she said in a low voice.
She feared he would mind her lingering thoughts about her ex-boyfriend, but Lu Beichen’s smile deepened, "Rest assured! I won’t consider Shen Congjun a rival in love!"
Indeed, how could Shen Congjun compare to him!
Ji Niandong’s voice was a bit stiff, "I was truly blind before."
"Pfft!" He couldn’t help but laugh out loud, straightening up and smiling at her, "Who scolds themselves ? He must have treated you well somehow; how did you two get together?"
