Shen Jianyi tilted her head back and met the man's half - smiling eyes. At that moment, she almost fainted from anger, tremblingly pointing her finger at him.
The man in front of her placed the breakfast on the table and then quickly helped her up from the ground. Seeing her looking so uncomfortable, Lu Jinsheng placed his big hand on the woman's waist.
Instantly, Shen Jianyi shivered and tried to escape, but she had no strength at all. She said angrily, "Lu Jinsheng, you're getting more and more of a brute!"
He was amused. "Really? There are even more brute - like sides of me that you haven't seen."
As soon as he finished speaking, a rosy blush spread across the woman's face, and it even reached her earlobes. Her face was burning hot.
At this moment, Lu Jinsheng kindly rubbed her waist, coaxing her like a child to have breakfast.
Shen Jianyi obediently crawled to the table to eat. Her fluffy hair was in a mess, looking like a kitten whose fur had just been ruffled.
While she was eating, the man beside her casually said, "Lu Ziqian is out of the hospital."
"Okay."
"He'll be home by noon today. But with his personality, he'll definitely go to the company this afternoon."
The woman didn't even lift her head. "Then let him go."
"He's hosting a dinner party in the main building the day after tomorrow. Sister Gu just told me and asked us to attend."
"Um... What?!" Shen Jianyi looked up. "What kind of dinner party?"
The corner of his lips curled up in a smile. This woman was so cute. She was really irresistible. "Maybe it's to celebrate his discharge from the hospital. I'm not sure."
Lu Jinsheng thought it was just an ordinary dinner party and there was nothing to make a fuss about. He just needed to greet people briefly and then do his own thing.
But Shen Jianyi couldn't stay calm. She put down her food and stared intently at the man. Her thick and curly eyelashes fluttered as she immediately reminded him, "Have you forgotten what day it is the day after tomorrow?"
This reminder made Lu Jinsheng suddenly recall. Lu Weiran had made it clear before that the ship transporting the chips would arrive precisely the day after tomorrow.
"How could I forget this..."
There had been so many things happening recently that Lu Jinsheng's mind was in a muddle.
Now he was in a dilemma. He couldn't miss the dinner party because many people from other families had been invited. As the president of the Lu Group, he had to be present.
As for the ship, Lu Jinsheng couldn't just let Shen Jianyi take the risk alone. He frowned tightly, deep in thought.
Just then, a series of knocks on the door pulled him back to reality. Lu Jinsheng turned around and moved to open the door.
The girl standing outside was wearing a light - green short dress, which made her already fair skin look even more radiant. But when Lu Jinsheng saw this girl, he frowned tightly. "What are you doing here?"
Lu Yuan's eyes curved into a crescent, and her curly eyelashes fluttered. The corner of her lips curled up in a smile. "I'm here to tell big brother that you can't miss tonight's banquet. There will be many well - known people coming. If you don't go, the Lu family will be embarrassed."
She craned her neck and looked inside, meeting Shen Jianyi's cold eyes. Lu Yuan paused for a moment. "Sister - in - law must come too!"
Unexpectedly, Lu Ziqian had specifically sent Lu Yuan to remind them, and this time he had named both of them to attend. Lu Jinsheng began to suspect that the timing of the banquet might be to cover up the fact that the ship was transporting the chips away.
If this was the case, there was only one possibility. Lu Jinsheng suddenly woke up. He looked back at Shen Jianyi, and she seemed to have noticed something too.
Could it be that Lu Ziqian and Lu Suowei had really colluded secretly and wanted Shen Jianyi to disappear forever?
...
Time flew by in a flash, and it was suddenly the day after tomorrow.
Before going to the banquet, Lu Jinsheng took Shen Jianyi to choose a dress.
They went straight to Lisa's place.
Lu Jinsheng pushed open the door and sat on the sofa beside, waiting for Lisa to come and introduce the dresses. Shen Jianyi stood still, looking at all the dresses in the store. She immediately took a fancy to the black Hepburn - style dress in the display case in the center.
She stared at it intently until Lisa came out of the back room. She looked at the two of them in surprise.
"Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu!" Lisa smiled. "Long time no see!"
She had a clear goal and walked straight towards Shen Jianyi. "What, do you like this dress?"
Shen Jianyi nodded. "Take it out."
Lisa pouted, looking a bit aggrieved. "There's only one such dress in the whole country. I begged for it for a long time. You can't just take it away like this, right..."
Lu Jinsheng coughed, and she immediately turned around and took it off.
Originally, Lisa had planned to keep it in the display case for a few more days, but unexpectedly, it was taken away by Shen Jianyi right after it was put in today.
She led Shen Jianyi's hand into the dressing room, helping her change into the dress and do her makeup.
Lisa looked at the woman in the mirror. Her skin was so fair and smooth. But her gaze dropped to the bandage on the woman's arm, and Lisa frowned slightly. "Oh my god, what happened to you?"
Shen Jianyi shrugged.
"I was just careless. Does it matter?"
"Of course it does!" She was shocked and immediately took out two long black velvet gloves from the cabinet, which could just cover the bandage. "You're my young mistress. You can't wear such a beautiful dress with a bandage on your arm. It's so unseemly!"
Shen Jianyi was a bit helpless but also found it funny. She obediently put on the gloves and looked at Lisa innocently.
Lisa did a very delicate makeup for her. Then she seemed to be examining her in the mirror, making sure there were no flaws before she was satisfied.
"All right!" She put away the cosmetics. "If you go to the banquet, you'll definitely outshine everyone."
Shen Jianyi forced a smile and dragged her long dress out of the dressing room.
The man was staring at his phone screen, not knowing what he was looking at. Hearing the sound of the dressing - room door opening, he looked up.
The woman was wearing a long black dress. Her beautiful black hair was coiled up high on her head, and she was wearing pearl accessories. Her slender neck was also adorned with a pearl necklace.
Just standing there, she exuded a powerful aura. Lu Jinsheng couldn't take his eyes off her. He swallowed hard, feeling his throat go dry. For a moment, he didn't want to take her to the banquet. He just wanted to hide this beauty in his room.
Lisa said point - blank, "Mrs. Lu, look, you've made Mr. Lu so infatuated. He can't take his eyes off you!" She covered her mouth and laughed.
Lu Jinsheng then came back to his senses and walked straight forward to hold Shen Jianyi's hand.
Lisa clicked her tongue at his possessiveness. "Don't worry. I'm not a man. I won't steal your sweetheart!"
