Jiang Yining lay on the bed and heard her phone ring.
She picked it up and took a look. It was a ssage from Lu Zhi.
[Yining, Kexin passed away. It was a car accident.]
[Grandma fainted from crying a few tis. I think I'll be ho late.]
[Go to bed early. Don't think too much.]
..
Three consecutive ssages left Jiang Yining feeling a bit dazed.
If she wasn't a top-notch hacker, she would have thought that soone was playing a prank on Lu Zhi by hacking his phone and sending her a ssage.
Jiang Yining called Lu Zhi, and he answered promptly.
"Hey, are you alright? Do you want to accompany you?"
Jiang Yining asked worriedly.
"I'm definitely lying to you if I say that I'm fine." Lu Zhi said in a calm voice, "Yining, when Kexin was still a baby, she entered the Lu family with Aunt Chen. I practically watched her grow up. Aunt Chen refused to give her breast milk, so her health has been poor since she was young. She gets sick from ti to ti."
"But this sickly girl jumped into the cold lake in the middle of winter to save . She pulled up forcefully."
Jiang Yining listened to him quietly.
She had never been a part of their past.
Therefore, she sotis envied Chen Kexin for having so many shared mories with Lu Zhi.
However, she could accept it.
She hadn't been involved in the past, but from now on, she would integrate every bit of his past into her own.
Lu Zhi spoke for a long ti. Then, he said listlessly, "The biggest mistake she made in her life was falling in love with ." He treated her like a sister.
If Kexin hadn't fallen for him and hadn't pursued him relentlessly, he would have helped her find a suitable husband and let her live the rest of her life in peace.
Unfortunately...
She harbored feelings she shouldn't have.
He could no longer tolerate her.
Even at this mont, Lu Zhi didn't regret pushing Kexin away repeatedly.
"Who can control feelings?" When she forced herself to marry him, she never thought that she would have feelings for him one day. "But don't be too sad. We get what we deserve. No matter what the outco is, it's all arranged by fate."
Jiang Yining didn't want him to bla himself.
Lu Zhi replied, "I know, don't worry, I won't bla myself for this."
"That's good. Finish your work soon and get so rest. Staying up late is not good for your health," Jiang Yining reminded.
"Yes."
"If you need soone to accompany you, you can call anyti."
"Alright."
As the two of them spoke, the faint sadness was washed away.
...
Chen Kexin's funeral was kept simple.
Ever since Aunt Chen entered the Lu family, she had severed ties with her relatives and friends.
Because she felt that they were not worthy of her status.
Now that Chen Kexin was gone, her friends and family wouldn't co to see her off.
As for the Lu family, no matter how much they valued her, they couldn't change the fact that Chen Kexin was a servant.
Old Master Lu and Old Madam Lu were willing to attend Chen Kexin's funeral.
But the others were reluctant.
They simply attended the event and didn't even go to the cetery.
So...
When Chen Kexin was buried, there were only a few people present.
During the funeral, Lu Zhi always left early and returned late.
For consecutive days, Jiang Yining hardly saw him.
When they t again, it was already the third night.
Lu Zhi stepped into the dining room with a cold and handso expression. He picked up the utensils she had just used and started eating.
Jiang Yining looked sideways at the stubble on his chin.
"That's my tableware."
"We're a couple. What's wrong with sharing utensils?"
Lu Zhi looked up at her.
He even knew how to scold her. It seed like he wasn't particularly sad.
Jiang Yining said, "Nothing much. I'm just afraid that you'd find it repulsive. Since you don't mind, I don't have anything to worry about. Do you want so extra dishes or finish the soup?"
"Yes."
Lu Zhi nodded.
Jiang Yining got up and went to the kitchen to instruct the chef to add more food for him.
...
When Lu Zhi finished eating, Jiang Yining said, "You should go and rest."
"Co with ."
Lu Zhi dragged her arm and walked towards the bedroom on the second floor.
"I'm not sleepy."
"Stay with ."
Lu Zhi said in an unquestionable tone.
Jiang Yining, who was dragged onto the bed, was speechless.
She thought, "Sir, can you not hug so tightly? I'm out of breath."
Jiang Yining was silent for a mont before she struggled to break free from his embrace.
However, she heard Lu Zhi whisper tiredly, "Don't ss around. Be good." His chin was slightly pressed against her head.
He loosened his grip a bit, allowing her to lie more comfortably.
