Shen Jianyi stiffened. Just as she was about to push away the man behind her, a faint smell of alcohol wafted into her nostrils.
Drunk?
She frowned and looked back at the handsome and fair face with the chin resting on her shoulder.
"Lu Jinsheng, have you been drinking?"
Lu Jinsheng tightened his arms a little more. His thick eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he clung to her like a child refusing to let go. "Yes, I'm drunk."
The scene of arguing with Lu Ziqian during the day flashed through his mind. Lu Jinsheng pursed his thin lips tightly.
He was about to hold his wedding, but he still hadn't found that person.
If she knew he was getting married, she should be happy, right?
Noticing Lu Jinsheng was in a bad mood, Shen Jianyi's arm that was about to push him away dropped. She patted the back of his hand reassuringly.
Finally, after coaxing the drunk Lu Jinsheng to sleep, Shen Jianyi looked at the man curled up under the quilt. Her heart was filled with complexity.
She had asked Xia Liang to help investigate Lu Jinsheng's information. But apart from the information that everyone knew, there was no other trace to follow.
Shen Jianyi tucked the quilt in for Lu Jinsheng, then turned around and left the master bedroom.
Sister Gu happened to be coming over with a bowl of soup.
"Madam, is the young master asleep?" Sister Gu asked in surprise.
Shen Jianyi glanced at the thick soup in her hand and recognized it as a hangover soup.
She didn't have to go to the kitchen to make one.
"Just put it there, Sister Gu. I have something to ask you," Shen Jianyi said and sat on the sofa first.
Sister Gu responded, put the hangover soup on the table, and stood in front of Shen Jianyi nervously, pinching the corner of her clothes.
Was the young mistress going to blame her for being used by others before?
Shen Jianyi gave a faint smile, and her cold eyes became lively.
"Don't be nervous. I just want to ask about Lu Jinsheng. Who did he argue with today?"
Hearing this, Sister Gu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She hesitated for a while before saying, "I heard it was with the master. Both the master and the young master have... rather bad tempers. Coupled with that incident, the rift between them has deepened. They quarrel every time they meet. In the end, the young master just misses..."
Suddenly realizing she had said too much, Sister Gu covered her mouth and scolded herself for being talkative in her heart.
This matter should be told by the young master to the young mistress!
Shen Jianyi raised her eyebrows and lay back lazily on the sofa. Her tone was calm. "Sister Gu, Lu Jinsheng is my man."
Shouldn't she know about her own man without any concealment?
If she could get the information directly, why should she waste time investigating it herself?
If it was really that old man Lu Ziqian bullying Lu Jinsheng, she would just stand up for Lu Jinsheng.
She wasn't a good person who always respected the old and cared for the young.
She only treated worthy people well.
Sister Gu thought for a while and then whispered, "It's related to the mistress."
It took ten minutes for Shen Jianyi to understand the whole story.
"Alright, it's getting late. Go and rest," Shen Jianyi said as she got up from the sofa, picked up the hangover soup on the table, and walked into the room.
Sister Gu was a bit confused. She had babbled on so much, but why did the young mistress seem to have no reaction at all?
Back in the room, Shen Jianyi touched Lu Jinsheng's face with her slightly cool hand. It still had the warmth of being drunk.
"Lu Jinsheng, get up and drink the hangover soup."
Her slender arm reached into the quilt. With a slight effort, she helped the tall man sit up.
Lu Jinsheng opened his slightly red eyes. Under the dim wall lamp, the woman's elegant and refined face looked even more blurred.
Realizing the man's burning gaze, Shen Jianyi directly put the bowl to Lu Jinsheng's mouth and said bluntly, "Drink. You're not allowed to kiss me if you don't drink."
She didn't like the smell of alcohol!
"Tsk, so fierce," Lu Jinsheng murmured with a smile. He obediently drank the whole bowl of hangover soup, then wrinkled his nose childishly. "It doesn't taste good."
"Then how can it taste good?"
Why was he so hard to serve?
"A kiss and it will taste good," Lu Jinsheng said and kissed the charming red lips in front of him without hesitation.
Perhaps infected by the smell of alcohol on his lips and teeth, Shen Jianyi's consciousness gradually became blurred.
The bedroom was filled with a warm and romantic atmosphere.
Afterwards, Shen Jianyi put on a bathrobe, walked past the sleeping Lu Jinsheng, left the room, and went to the balcony to call Xia Liang.
"Master, you're calling me so late. Is there a mission?" A noisy music sound came from the other end of the phone.
The little princess avoided the noisy dance floor and walked to a quiet place.
Shen Jianyi tightened her bathrobe and looked back at Lu Jinsheng who was still sleeping. "Stop investigating Lu Jinsheng."
"Huh? Then who should I investigate? Has master changed the target?" Xia Liang said with a smile. Her master was really amazing. Even the richest man wasn't in her eyes!
Shen Jianyi rolled her eyes helplessly. "Investigate Lu Ziqian's wife."
...
Early the next morning, Shen Jianyi was woken up by a restless big hand.
The hand tapped on her eyelashes slowly. It was not until Shen Jianyi opened her eyes that Lu Jinsheng withdrew his hand.
The warm sunlight shone through the gap in the floor - to - ceiling window and fell on her fair and jade - like face, making her look even more magnificent and cold.
Lu Jinsheng propped his head on one hand and half - leaned beside Shen Jianyi. He reminded her, "We're going to order wedding dresses today."
"I don't want to move," Shen Jianyi turned over and buried her head in the pillow, making a lazy nasal sound.
This man had tossed her around for so long and still got up so early.
She still wanted to sleep!
Just as she was about to close her eyes again, a sudden sense of weightlessness came. She subconsciously let out a scream and wrapped her arms around Lu Jinsheng's neck.
"Either I measure your bust, waist, and hips, or I carry you there. Choose one," Lu Jinsheng raised his eyebrows and asked her with a teasing smile in his eyes.
Shen Jianyi yawned and gave in.
So, Lu Jinsheng took care of Shen Jianyi like a porcelain doll. He helped her brush her teeth, wash her face, and change her clothes. After everything was in order, he directly picked up the little girl in his arms and got in the car. He was so meticulous throughout the process that the others were stunned.
Had the young master changed his nature?
A thought popped up in their minds simultaneously: If they wanted to gain a foothold in the Lu family in the future, they had to please the young mistress first!
Half an hour later, the car stopped steadily in front of a high - end wedding dress store.
Lu Jinsheng looked down at Shen Jianyi who was sleeping groggily on his lap. Seeing the faint dark circles under her eyes, he couldn't bear to wake her up.
It was not until Shen Jianyi opened her eyes by herself that he said softly, "Yiyi, we're here."
"Why didn't you wake me up?" Shen Jianyi murmured and sat up, looking at the wedding dress store outside the car window.
The signboard made of the two simple letters "JY" was shining brightly in the sun.
Tsk, he really knew how to choose.
The two got out of the car. The people in the wedding dress store knew that a distinguished guest was coming today, so they had hung up the "Closed for Business" sign in advance and were standing at the door waiting for the guest.
When Lisa, the owner of the wedding dress store, saw Lu Jinsheng coming, she was about to greet him. But when she saw Shen Jianyi beside him with a calm face, her smile froze.
What was going on?
This ancestor hadn't told her that it was her who was getting married!
