“By the way, Old Master Liang ntioned that Master Cheng’s second son resembles you. Is that true?” Zhou Weiqi was dying of insatiable curiosity.
Before Jiang Yao could respond, Lu Xingzhi opened the door and walked into the room. Then, he carried Zhou Weiqi out of the bedroom. “Fourth Brother is troubling you again?” he questioned Jiang Yao.
“I am just interested in Master Cheng.”
Jiang Yao grinned. “He is intrigued because Master Liang inford him that Master Cheng’s second son resembles .”
Lu Xingzhi nodded and handed Jiang Yao the phone. He said, “Master Cheng’s people in the Autumn Dew Villa have been evacuated, but the villa is on fire. The fire is massive and has nearly consud the entire place. When Master Cheng learned of the news, he expressed his heartfelt regret. He can transfer the funds for the Autumn Dew Villa’s renovation to your account.”
“There’s no need for that. Taking his money is the sa as taking his benefits. It’s not easy to take money from soone like Master Cheng. Anyway, I don’t know what I’m going to do with the Autumn Dew Villa. I’ll just leave it for now. When I have money, I’ll figure out what I can do with it before I go and fix it myself.”
Jiang Yao shook her head and examined the text ssage’s contents. It not only reported what Lu Xingzhi had said, but it also ntioned that a man had caused the fire. Soone might be able to prove that Cheng Jinyan had started the fire.
Jiang Yao turned to face Lu Xingzhi after reading the text ssage. She was taken aback by the fact that he did not have a single expression on his face. He was deafeningly quiet.
“Are you not angry when you see that text ssage?”
Jiang Yao pointed at Lu Xingzhi’s cell phone and thought to herself. It seed like Lu Xingzhi had spies of all ages. He could investigate the Autumn Dew Villa matter so clearly. He even looked into Cheng Jinyan’s setting of the fire.
“I don’t care if the things that did not catch my eye were burnt or not.”
Lu Xingzhi was preoccupied with sothing else.
He put his phone away and lowered his head to kiss Jiang Yao. He pecked the corner of her lips tenderly and said, “Give so ti.”
Then he straightened his back. “It’s ti to go out for dinner.”
Jiang Yao did not understand why Lu Xingzhi said he needed so ti; he did not make any sense. He had no intention of justifying himself when she asked again.
Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Lu, who were tired from cooking, could not sit at the table since there were so many guests at ho. Lu Xingzhi went to his next-door neighbor and borrowed a table and a few chairs from them. The room was divided into two tables so that everyone would have a place to eat.
That night, Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao’s small house was extrely lively. After three rounds of drinking, Lu Xingzhi was a little drunk. Zhou Weiqi and Chen Xuyao did not leave the barracks either. They went straight to the guest house to rest.
The night was dark. The winter night was so quiet that there was not the slightest noise.
Lu Xingzhi was still inebriated. He sat on the bed after he showered and clutched Jiang Yao with all his strength. He hugged her as if he was scared he had misplaced a treasure. He held her fiercely as though he wanted to squeeze her into his body. It was as though he was frightened of losing her.
Later, that kind of entanglent turned into a kiss. It was very strong, as if he wanted to swallow her into his stomach and hide her there.
“Are you hiding sothing, Xingzhi?”
Jiang Yao leaned against Lu Xingzhi. When she noticed that he was staring at her with his eyes wide open, she took over his cup and asked tentatively, “You look like you have sothing on your mind. Did sothing happen? Is it because of ?”
