Chapter 238: The Scent of Blood on Lu Jingye
Lu Jingye was surprised that her nose was so sensitive. He held her waist and stroked her head. “I’m fine. It’s just a small cut.”
Zi Yi did not believe him. “Liar. You would’ve already dealt with the wound if it was a small cut. How could there still be the scent of blood?”
She raised her hands with the intention to unbutton his shirt.
Lu Jingye stopped her hands. Seeing that he could not win against her, he said, “I’ll do it.”
He then released her and started unbuttoning his suit jacket along with his shirt, to reveal a broad, and firm chest.
Zi Yi subconsciously gulped at the sight of his chest and stretched out her hands.
However, Lu Jingye caught her hands and covered her eyes while he whispered, “Are you thinking of checking my wounds or my chest?”
Zi Yi moved his hands away and tightly stared at his chest as she said seriously, “Of course it’s… both.”
Lu Jingye: “…’
He took off his shirt and revealed his back to her.
Zi Yi spotted the wound on his back at once.
The wound had been treated and a large band-aid was applied over the wound. There were only so traces of blood at the edges.
It was indeed not a serious injury, but Zi Yi was still very angry.
She gently touched the skin near his wound and asked sullenly, “Who injured you?”
Lu Jingye turned around and held her hand. “They have already been disposed of.”
Zi Yi’s expression slightly eased. She suddenly thought of sothing. “Where are the two circular balls I gave you?”
“They were in my car.”
“Why didn’t you bring them along with you? I used special materials in their creation and they would have ford a protective barrier when you threw them into the air. Neither knives nor guns can hurt you.”
Lu Jingye tightly gripped her hands. He didn’t expect those items to have such a wide usage and said, “Ok. I’ll bring them along with in the future.”
Only then, was Zi Yi satisfied.
Lu Jingye released her hands and put his shirt back on.
Zi Yi turned around and grabbed a glass; she then said as she poured the alcohol, “Since you’re injured, you shouldn’t drink.”
Having said that, after she poured a cup for herself, she took a sip. Just as she was about to turn around and speak, her lips unexpectedly touched his Adam’s apple and she could not help but laugh.
Lu Jingye looked down at her lips that turned ruddy and glossy from the drink and gulped. He then turned around and went to fetch two chairs. After they sat down, he asked, “What did your Uncles do to you?”
Zi Yi explained to him what had transpired during the dinner with her Uncles.
Lu Jingye was silent for a mont before he said, “The professors don’t like the previous Zi Yi. However, you are you. They will definitely like you.”
Zi Yi was amused by Lu Jingye. She held the glass with one hand and wrapped the other around his neck as she moved to sit on his lap and leaned her head on his chest.
“How do you know if they will like the current Zi Yi? At that ti, my Eldest Uncle asked the sa question you asked .”
“Because you’re different from her.”
Zi Yi looked up at Lu Jingye.
From the very beginning, this man had already determined that she was not the real Zi Yi.
“Lu Jingye.”
“Hmm?”
“Since you already had the idea that I wasn’t the real Zi Yi, why did you still poke your nose into my affairs?”
Lu Jingye looked at her and remained silent.
However, Zi Yi smiled. Her slender fingers reached out and gently touched his Adam’s apple.
While Lu Jingye’s eyes darkened, she giggled. “You must have fallen for ages ago.”
Afterwards, she complained. “Your mouth says one thing while your heart does the other… mph!”
Her lips were suddenly sealed.
Lu Jingye tightened his grip on her waist and discovered that monts like this were the only ti where she was the most obedient.
…
The next day. When Zi Yi woke up and ca downstairs, she did not see Lu Jingye and so, she walked out of the living room.
She just so happened to see the housekeeper walking in from the front yard.
“Housekeeper, where’s Ah Jing?”
“Miss Zi, Second Young Master is in the front yard.”
Zi Yi took large strides and walked in the direction of the front yard and saw Lu Jingye talking to a bodyguard.
When she ca closer, she heard him say, “Prepare the car.”
Afterward, he turned to look at her.
“Ah Jing, you’re leaving?”
“Yes.” Lu Jingye walked towards her and said, “I’m going on a business trip for a few days.”
Zi Yi was a little surprised. “You’re still going on business trips during this ti?”
“Yes. It’s just to another province. There’s sothing important that I must personally resolve. What present would you like?”
“You didn’t even tell which province you’re going to. How would I know if there’s anything I want there.”
Lu Jingye’s lips curled up. “I’m going to Qinghai Province.”
“Qinghai? What’s there?” Zi Yi suddenly thought of sothing. “The cashre there seems pretty good. Bring so with you for , when you co back. I want to lay down a cashre carpet in my bedroom.”
Lu Jingye nodded. “I’ll get soone to send you a truckload when I get there.”
Lu Jingye did not eat breakfast. He left after having a short conversation with Zi Yi.
He had directly gone to the helicopter and before he got on it, Lu Jianlin gave him a call.
Lu Jianlin spoke in a solemn tone. “Protect yourself well. That dicinal ingredient is that Clan’s prized dicine. Don’t force your way if you are unable to obtain it. I’m only giving you five days’ ti. You must return after five days.”
Lu Jingye was silent for two seconds before he responded with a single word, “Okay.”
…
In the following days, Zi Yi continued staying in the bar. She would tell them she was preoccupied whenever soone looked for her.
Three days later, a robot from the racing club contacted her and inford her that soone insisted on eting with her. He would not leave no matter how they chased him away.
In the end, Zi Yi drove to the club.
As soon as she parked the car, she saw a person running in her direction.
However, before he could co closer to her, he was stopped by a robot.
Zi Yi alighted from her car and sized up the man standing before her.
He looked to be around in his twenties and had a fair and handso appearance. However, his eyes revealed unconcealable pride and arrogance, similar to a fierce snow leopard that appeared beautiful but was dangerous at the sa ti.
While Zi Yi checked him out, the man did the sa.
“You’re Zi Yi? The boss of this racing club?”
His voice sounded arrogant. Zi Yi glanced at him with indifference and said to the robot, “Throw him out.”
“You-”
Zi Yi looked at him and said, “You’re acting so arrogantly despite looking to others for help. Isn’t this simply asking to be thrown out?”
His eyes flashed with anger, but it had dissipated soon after. “I’m sorry.”
Zi Yi motioned for the robot to stop.
“I heard you’re here to join my club as a racer?”
“That’s right.” The man t her eyes and said, “My na is Zhou Shijin. I have two years of racing experience. I don’t need a salary, but I must participate in the international racing competition in October.”
“Ha!” Zi Yi sneered. “Why should I accept you? Based on your arrogant personality that is simply asking for a beating?”
“You-”
“Dear young master. I advise you to go back and continue living like a young master. My place doesn’t welco soone like you.”
Zhou Shijin stared at Zi Yi and said sullenly, “I won’t leave.”
