Shen Jianyi slowly picked up her chopsticks, then slowly twirled up a strand of noodles and put it into her mouth.
"Aren't you hungry? Hurry up and eat."
Lu Jinsheng pulled over a dining chair and sat down beside her leisurely, showing no sign of leaving.
"I can't finish it."
Shen Jianyi gave up, frowning at the full bowl of shredded - chicken noodle soup in front of her.
Sister Gu said cheerfully from the side, "Young mistress, eat a little. You're too thin."
Too thin?
Lu Jinsheng glanced at Shen Jianyi, who was all skin and bones.
Well, she really needed to be well - nourished.
"Bring me a bowl."
Lu Jinsheng looked up and gave the order.
"Does the young master want to eat? I'll go to the kitchen and cook another bowl," Sister Gu thought for a while and said hesitantly.
"No need."
Since Lu Jinsheng said so, Sister Gu didn't say much. She went to the kitchen to get the bowls and chopsticks and placed them in front of Lu Jinsheng. However, the surprise on her face was clearly visible.
Was the young master going to share the same bowl of noodles with the young mistress?
Everyone in the Lu family mansion knew that the young master had a serious case of mysophobia. His bowls and chopsticks were always separate. Let alone sharing the noodles in the same bowl with the young mistress.
Under Shen Jianyi's puzzled gaze and Sister Gu's surprised look, Lu Jinsheng picked up his chopsticks leisurely and divided half of the noodles from Shen Jianyi's bowl into his own.
"I'll eat with you. Don't rush."
Lu Jinsheng stroked Shen Jianyi's head and actually started to eat the shredded - chicken noodle soup in his bowl.
Shen Jianyi: "..."
It's not that I can't finish it. I really don't want to eat it!
She looked up at Lu Jinsheng.
He ate extremely gracefully, as if what was placed in front of him was not ordinary shredded - chicken noodle soup but some delicacy cooked by a Michelin - star chef.
It seemed... it did look quite delicious.
Shen Jianyi involuntarily lowered her head and began to eat the noodles as well.
After Lu Jinsheng divided half of the noodles, Shen Jianyi quickly finished her portion.
She wasn't used to having supper. Now her stomach was so full that she felt uncomfortable and didn't want to move a single step.
"Come to the study. I'll show you something."
Lu Jinsheng elegantly wiped his mouth. Finally, he didn't forget to wipe the oil stain from the corner of Shen Jianyi's mouth.
"I don't want to move."
Shen Jianyi slumped in the chair and uninterestedly stroked her slightly rounded belly.
The next second, her whole body was picked up by Lu Jinsheng.
Sister Gu was already used to their affection. She smilingly cleared away the bowls and chopsticks.
Lu Jinsheng carried Shen Jianyi into the study and walked to the computer desk.
The screen was on, and there was an email in the lower - right corner.
Shen Jianyi squinted and saw that it was from Lisa.
She could more or less guess what Lu Jinsheng was going to show her.
Sure enough, he sat in the large office chair, opened the email, and inside was the wedding - dress design she had sent to Lisa.
The details of the wedding - dress design had been almost polished. It was a romantic and charming mermaid - style wedding dress with a strapless design. There was a small circle of fluff on the chest, making it look both elegant and a bit playful.
The sleeves on both sides were puffed - sleeve designs with tiny tassels hanging down, complex yet magnificent.
"Do you like it?"
Lu Jinsheng kissed her cheek while carefully protecting the wound on her knee with his other hand.
"Just so - so."
Shen Jianyi took a quick glance and then quickly averted her eyes.
Seeing her arrogant look, Lu Jinsheng couldn't help but let out a soft laugh.
"You're quite hard to please."
"Just a bit."
Shen Jianyi swayed her legs and was more interested in the telescope by the window.
She jumped out of Lu Jinsheng's arms, hopped on one leg, and skipped over to the telescope, fiddling with this complex gadget.
A warm presence came from behind.
Her whole body was enveloped by Lu Jinsheng.
"You should look like this."
Lu Jinsheng covered her hands and guided her posture to look at the star - filled sky.
The man was too close. She felt a bit uncomfortable and shifted her body. Lu Jinsheng's hand froze for a moment, and he whispered wickedly in her ear, "Don't move around."
Just as Shen Jianyi was about to retort, an unusual sensation from behind made her swallow the words back.
His hand also slid restlessly from her hand to her waist.
"The wedding date is set. It's the sixteenth of next month. How about it?"
He whispered in her ear.
The sixteenth of next month... It was okay. Just in time, after the matter of the chip was settled, there would be no more worries.
Just when she thought the man's hand would continue to be restless, Lu Jinsheng suddenly picked her up.
"What?"
Shen Jianyi blinked blankly, not knowing why it suddenly stopped.
"I'll take you to take a bath, little patient."
There was still a hint of desire in Lu Jinsheng's eyes. He let out a soft laugh and carried the blushing little girl into the bathroom.
...
Early the next morning.
Shen Jianyi was woken up by the alarm clock. Her whole body ached badly, and she secretly complained in her heart that Lu Jinsheng was too "violent".
He kept saying that she was a patient, but he still took advantage of her.
She buried her whole face in the pillow and groped to the side. The other side of the bed was already cold.
Just then, Sister Gu's voice came from outside the door.
"Young mistress, someone from the main building has come to invite you."
Sister Gu was a bit worried. The young master had given the order that unless it was something important, the young mistress should not be disturbed while she was resting.
But the people from the main building were waiting right outside, and she really had no other choice.
Seeing that there was no response in the room, Sister Zhou, who took care of Lu Ziqian, knocked on the door forcefully with a cold face. "Young mistress, the master has invited you to go over."
Only then did Shen Jianyi slowly open her eyes. A cold glint flashed in her misty eyes.
Was Lu Ziqian out of the hospital?
What new trick was he going to play on her?
"Sister Zhou, the young master said that the young mistress needs more rest. How about I call the young mistress over later?"
Sister Gu smiled apologetically and said gently.
Sister Zhou still had a cold face. "Sister Gu, the young mistress has just entered the Lu family. It's time she learned the Lu family's rules. The master has invited her. Does she want the master to wait for her?"
"But the young master said..."
Sister Gu still wanted to speak up for Shen Jianyi.
The door was suddenly pulled open with a "bang".
The little girl in a white nightgown stood at the door. There was a sweet and obedient smile on her delicate face. Her black hair was smoothly draped behind her. Even though she had just woken up, there was no sign of dishevelment.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Shen Jianyi curved her lips into a smile, and her eyes immediately became lively.
Sister Zhou was an old servant in the Lu family and had always taken care of Lu Ziqian's daily life. She thought highly of herself.
She knew that Lu Ziqian was dissatisfied with this young mistress who had suddenly appeared, so she also didn't give Shen Jianyi a good look.
"Then please hurry up, young mistress. Don't keep the master waiting."
"Okay. Thank you for making this trip, Sister Zhou."
Shen Jianyi was extremely obedient, as docile as a cat.
