Zi Yi was not ashamed at all when she said that. However, Lu Jingye felt a headache brewing.
Doesn’t this girl know that some words should only be said in private?
Mrs. Lu did not expect that from Zi Yi and so she laughed in response. She then turned around and headed outside. “I’ll go and get the kitchen to prepare two more of your favorite dishes.”
Since the young ones wanted to show their affection for each other, an old woman like her shall not remain and bother them.
Lu Jingye drank from the spoon and raised his hand to pinch her cheeks. He then said in a serious tone, “Don’t say such words in front of anyone else but me in the future.”
Zi Yi gave him a smile. “Got it.”
She continued drinking the soup.
Lu Jingye instantly lost his cool. Looking at her flushed cheeks, he could not resist himself and leaned over to give her a kiss at the corner of her lips. “Write the invitations with me after you finish the soup. Let’s strive to finish writing everything before dinner.”
They had to write hundreds of wedding invitations and even if all they had to do was write the other party’s name, it was still a large project.
Zi Yi looked at the wedding invitations he had written and she started harboring thoughts. “Why don’t I get my robot to imitate my handwriting.”
Lu Jingye immediately disapproved. “It’s more meaningful for us to hand-write the wedding invitations.”
Zi Yi glanced at the leftover stack and only answered after a few seconds, “Okay then…”
By the time she finished the bowl of soup, Lu Jingye had written another dozen invitations.
Zi Yi also picked up her pen and started to write.
While writing she asked, “Ah Jing, will we have to personally deliver the invitations too?”
Lu Jingye had to deliver the military supplies in the following days and he could not bear to have Zi Yi suffer too much and so, he said, “You can bring the invitations to school tomorrow and pass them to the Deans of various schools and get them to hand them out. I’ll get my men to send the rest.”
Zi Yi nodded in response.
With two of them writing, the progress was rather quick and they had gotten everything done before dinner.
When it was time for dinner, Mrs. Lu came over and asked, “Will Ian be coming over tonight for dinner?”
Zi Yi shook her head and said, “Ian and my cousin went to check out our gallery at X road near the city. He should be having dinner with my cousin tonight.”
Mrs. Lu nodded and said with a smile, “If not for the fact that Xiangling has a boyfriend, I feel that Ian is a pretty good prospect.”
Zi Yi did not tell Mrs. Lu about the matter with Zhang Hanyu and so, Mrs. Lu was still under the impression that Dou Xiangling and Zhang Hanyu were still in a relationship.
Zi Yi suddenly thought of how her cousin had been frequenting the school these days. Would her colleagues and students be asking her about Zhang Hanyu too?
At the thought of this, she furrowed her eyebrows.
Lu Jingye grabbed her hand and said to Mrs. Lu, “Mother, Xiangling, and Zhang Hanyu are no longer dating.”
“Really? What happened?”
Mrs. Lu felt that Dou Xiangling was the type of person who dated someone with the goal of getting married to them. How could she have ended the relationship so easily?”
It was really a surprise for her.
Lu Jingye considered for a moment before he said, “Zhang Hanyu was not someone of a good character and his true colors were discovered by Xiangling.”
Mrs. Lu immediately felt her heart go out for Dou Xiangling. “Then isn’t Xiangling very upset?”
She was thinking about whether she should visit her tomorrow to comfort her.
Lu Jingye saw through her thoughts and said, “Mother, Xiangling is a sensible person. She will settle this matter herself and there’s no need for you to specially bring it up to her.”
Mrs. Lu thought about what her son said and found it to be reasonable. She nodded her head, but still sighed in the end. “Xiangling is such a good girl and to think that someone would have the heart to deceive her. I hope that she can meet someone good in the future.”
In fact, Zi Yi blamed herself a little. “I’ve always felt that Zhang Hanyu was weird, and I should have been firm in opposing my cousin falling in love with him.”
Lu Jingye could not bear to see her reproach herself and he said, “This has nothing to do with you.”
He then held her hand and led her toward the dining area. On the way, he said, “Xiangling is a smart person. She knows what kind of person she should cherish and what kind of person she should give up on. Isn’t she doing well right now?”
Zi Yi opened her mouth, but she did not tell him that it was because she had used her mental energy to suppress her cousin’s emotions towards Zhang Hanyu.
After the three of them finished dinner, Zi Yi headed down to the basement, while Lu Jingye headed to the study room.
Mrs. Lu had nothing to do and so, she followed Zi Yi down to the lab.
At around 10 p.m, Mrs. Lu called out to her. “Yiyi, you can continue the experiment tomorrow. It’s getting late.”
Zi Yi listened to Mrs. Lu’s words and valued what she said, and so she left the lab together with her.
When Lu Jingye saw her coming up, he was a little surprised before he smiled. “It seems like asking Mother to call for you is more effective.”
Zi Yi gave him a grunt and turned as she headed towards the bathroom.
When she reached the door, she suddenly thought of something and turned around to ask him, “Ah Jing, are you going to pack your luggage?”
“Yes.” Even though he intended to return every day, there would definitely be days when he might not be able to rush back home.
Zi Yi said to him in all seriousness, “Don’t pack your luggage yourself. I’ll help you later.”
She headed to the bathroom after saying these words.
Lu Jingye stood there and tried to figure out the motive as to why his wife wanted to help him pack his luggage.
He pondered over the reason until Zi Yi came out.
Zi Yi saw that he was still standing there and she ran over to the cabinet. She dragged out a suitcase and opened the closet.
Around eighty percent of the items inside were hers and the remaining twenty percent were Lu Jingye’s.
Zi Yi opened the cupboard that contained his clothes. Her fingers ran across his clothes as she said, “This is ok, not this, this, this and this…”
Lu Jingye stood by her side and watched as she slowly picked out the clothes.
Zi Yi took some time to choose and after a long time, she took out a set of warm clothes and a down jacket. Following that, she squatted down to pull out the underwear drawer.
Their cloakroom was mainly arranged by Lu Jingye and what he said in the past was: ‘There are many personal clothes and it is not suitable for others to help us clean up.’
Lu Jingye had kept everything in order. Even his underwear was folded.
Zi Yi looked at the underwear stored in the drawer and did not reach out for it, even after a long time.
Lu Jingye stood by her side for some time and finally asked, “What’s wrong?”
Zi Yi turned around and looked up at him.
From her current angle, it just so happens that she would see a certain part of his body.
Lu Jingye immediately sensed her gaze and his eyes darkened. He then bent down and covered her eyes with his hand, and whispered in her ears as he threatened, “Don’t look there, or else…”
Zi Yi’s eyelashes fluttered as they brushed past his hands. She said innocently, “I was only wondering what kind of underwear to pack for you.”
Lu Jingye’s other free hand randomly grabbed underwear from the drawer, before he stopped covering her eyes. He then supported her to a standing position and pulled her into his embrace.
“This will do.”
He casually threw the underwear into the suitcase and grabbed her waist and held onto the back of her head. Following that, his lips pressed down.
While their lips molded with each other, Zi Yi said intermittently “I… haven’t… picked out… your… socks yet.”
Lu Jingye’s breath contained a trace of heat. “I’ll get them myself later.”
Having said that, he did not give her the chance to speak anymore.
The night was long and Zi Yi did not know when she had fallen asleep. By the time she woke up, the person next to her had already left.
She still groggily remembered that Lu Jingye had told her that he would be leaving earlier than usual.
Zi Yi was not ashamed at all when she said that. However, Lu Jingye felt a headache brewing.
Doesn’t this girl know that some words should only be said in private?
Mrs. Lu did not expect that from Zi Yi and so she laughed in response. She then turned around and headed outside. “I’ll go and get the kitchen to prepare two more of your favorite dishes.”
