Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Zi Yi and Lu Jingye strolled over to Lu Jingye’s villa.
Zi Yi had been rather busy during this period of ti and she had never been there again. When they were standing outside the courtyard and looking from the outside in, she realized that there was a huge difference.
“Mom and my Aunts have made great transformations to the villa during this period of ti. Do you want to go in and take a look?”
“Sure.”
The two of them walked to the door and the housekeeper, who just so happened to be near the courtyard, saw them. He hastily walked over in large strides and opened the door.
“Second Young Master, Second Young Madam.”
After they ca in, Zi Yi ran to the back. “I’ll go and check how our backyard has been decorated.”
Lu Jingye called out and said, “Don’t stay for too long. We still have to go back for dinner.”
“Okay~”
Lu Jingye and the housekeeper walked towards the inside of the villa.
While walking, Lu Jingye asked, “Is Ian around?”
“Mr. Ian left in the afternoon and has yet to return.”
Lu Jingye responded with a nod and did not continue to ask.
Zi Yi took a tour around the backyard and by the ti she returned to the villa, Lu Jingye was currently on the phone.
She walked over to his side and sat down. After waiting for his call to end, she said, “Mom and my Aunts transford the backyard into a garden.”
Lu Jingye asked, “Do you like it?”
“I love it. The garden is beautiful. Several glasshouses were also built and guests will now be able to have tea and enjoy the flowers inside them.”
The glasshouses were prepared to accommodate the group of old n from the Painting and Calligraphy Association. When the various masters co, not only will they be able to drink tea and enjoy the flowers, they can even paint when the inspiration cos.
“Cousin Xiangling can entertain the people from the Painting and Calligraphy Association too. Also, the leaders from M.Uni! My Uncles can also receive them.”
Speaking of this, Zi Yi started planning who to assign to entertain those groups of people. Lu Jingye listened to her with a smile on his lips.
By the ti Zi Yi finished, she suddenly thought of sothing. “Ian isn’t around?”
“Nope, the housekeeper said that he left in the afternoon.”
Zi Yi guessed. “He must have gone to consult my cousin about the renovation of the art gallery.”
Lu Jingye nodded his head, got up to his feet, and pulled her along. “Let’s go back. Otherwise Mom and Dad will start looking for us.”
“Okay!”
As soon as they walked out of the living room, they saw a car driving in from outside the iron gate.
It was Ian.
When Ian saw the two, he honked the car horn twice and then drove over and parked the car outside the entrance.
“Lu, Zi, are you here to look for ?”
Zi Yi and Lu Jingye looked at him at the sa ti. They did not answer his question.
The aning of their stare was self-evident.
Ian did not take it to heart either and he alighted from the car.
His bodyguard imdiately ca from the side and drove the car away.
Zi Yi asked him, “You seem rather idle?”
Ian denied it. “How can that be? I’ve been very busy these days.”
He then suddenly laughed. “There have been many people inviting to drink coffee. I just returned from a cafe.”
Zi Yi glanced at him. “I thought that you and my cousin would be discussing the renovations.”
“Don’t ntion it,” Ian said, “Xiangling got a cold and she did not go to school today.”
“My cousin caught a cold?” Zi Yi frowned and quickly asked, “Is her cold severe?”
She decided to make a call and ask later.
However, she still said, “She looked fine yesterday, so why did she suddenly catch a cold?”
“I was also surprised. She suddenly felt uncomfortable and I sent her to the hospital for a checkup. The doctor said that it should be arrhythmia caused by fatigue.”
Dou Xiangling had been worrying about the art gallery these days and it was possible that she had overworked herself.
Zi Yi planned to send a robot over to take care of her.
At the sa ti, she decided to head to school tomorrow and bring so dicine that would help strengthen her body. This way, she would not get sick easily.
Lu Jingye asked Ian, “Have you eaten?”
Ian shook his head. “Not yet. I drank coffee for an entire afternoon.”
“Then co over and have dinner with us.”
Ian obviously would not reject his invitation.
Thus, the three of them headed towards Zi Yi’s villa.
Along the way, Ian was particularly active in chatting with Zi Yi about the renovation of the art gallery. From the looks of it, it was obvious that he could not wait to see the final result.
When the three of them were approaching the courtyard, they just so happened to see Lu Jianlin and Mrs. Lu walking out together side by side. They were clearly here to look for Zi Yi and Lu Jingye.
At the sight of Lu Jianlin and Mrs. Lu, Ian warmly greeted them. “Uncle, Auntie.”
Lu Jianlin gave Ian a nod.
Mrs. Lu said with a smile, “Ian, you arrived just in ti. Jianlin and I were going to look for Jingye and Yiyi to start dinner.”
Ian smiled back in response. “It seems like I have returned in a tily manner then.”
“Yes… let’s go. It’s about to get dark soon. Let’s all go in and have dinner first.”
During dinner, Lu Jianlin and Ian chatted for a bit.
Lu Jianlin and Ian’s father were acquainted and the two of them talked about Ian’s eldest brother.
Lu Jianlin had heard about the situation in his family, and he rely said, “The position of the count ought to be passed on to the capable one.”
After dinner, the three n sat on the sofa and talked about the economy and politics.
Zi Yi and Mrs. Lu sat at a small bar and ate the rose cakes.
“Mom, why didn’t you have them earlier?”
“I was waiting for you, so we could eat them together.”
Mrs. Lu did not eat much and Zi Yi ate another two cakes. She said happily, “Yiyi, if you like these rose cakes, I’ll get the chef to make them often for you.”
Zi Yi was not polite in the slightest and she nodded her head with a smile. “Okay!”
After the three n had chatted for nearly an hour, Lu Jianlin stood up and ca over to Mrs. Lu. “Lingluo, we should return.”
He still had to report the situation from the Southern Ocean tomorrow and he planned to go ho early to rest.
Mrs. Lu followed suit and stood up. She then said to Zi Yi, “Yiyi, what do you feel like eating tomorrow? I’ll have it prepared and bring it over tomorrow.”
Speaking of this, she recalled the candies she had brought ho for Zi Yi yesterday. She pointed at the small drawer on the other side of the sofa. “Yesterday, I brought back several kinds of candies and I kept them in the drawer. Help yourself if you want to eat them.”
Having said that, the both of them headed outside.
Zi Yi, Lu Jingye, and Ian sent them to their car.
When the car drove off, just as Ian was about to say that he was going to return, he suddenly received a call inviting him to go out and drink.
After hanging up the phone, he asked Lu Jingye, “Lu, do you still keep in touch with the officer of the Learning Departnt of M.Uni from back then?”
“Yes.”
The officer of the Learning Departnt that Ian had ntioned resided in the sa area as the Dou Family. It was the man who Lu Jingye had borrowed the car from back then. His na was Wei An.
“Wei An invited us to drink. Do you want to go?” After Ian asked that question, he even looked at Zi Yi.
Before Lu Jingye could answer, Zi Yi asked, “Where are you going?”
“He said it’s a bar nad [Futuristic Bar].”
“Who’s treating?”
“…Old Wei.”
Zi Yi thought that a man should have his own circle of friends. Moreover, they were friends that could generate inco for her bar. She would definitely be supportive.
She then smiled and tilted her head to look at Lu Jingye. She revealed a virtuous expression and said, “Ah Jing, you should go. You can get in touch with your old classmates and if you get drunk, just ask soone to send you back.”
Ian did not expect Zi Yi to be so assured to let Lu Jingye go. He deliberately said, “Aren’t you worried that Lu will be enticed by the girls in the bar?”
Zi Yi gave him a look. “Ah Jing’s taste isn’t that bad. Why should I worry?”
Ian: “…”
