Chapter 929: I Went to Bed So Late Last Night and So What If I Woke Up a Little Late In the Morning?
Lu Jingye nodded his head and both of them headed outside together.
At this time, Lu Jingye and Ian’s bodyguards were all standing outside.
Lu Jingye said, “Let’s hurry up and take care of them. Let’s not disturb the others.”
“Ok.” A chilly glint flashed past Ian’s eyes. “Actually you can go and take a rest. Leaving these people to me will do.”
!!
“It’s fine. It’s the same if we take care of these people as soon as possible.”
Ian did not say anything else.
Both their bodyguards quickly made their way towards the gates of the manor and soon, they disappeared into the darkness.
Both Ian and Lu Jingye also made their way to the gates.
In the middle of the night, the manor was engulfed in a particularly quiet atmosphere. The evening breeze blew past and the fragrance of the grape vines could be smelled.
Soon, there was some noise outside. Not long later, Lu Jingye’s bodyguards said, “Second Young Master, we have already caught those people.”
“Who sent them?”
“The Countess.”
Before Lu Jingye even said anything, Ian snorted. Shortly after, his bodyguard’s voice was heard. “Young Master, how should we take care of those people?”
“Get them to confess and keep them half alive. Send them to my Mother first thing tomorrow morning.”
Ian was a gentleman most of the time, but at this very moment, he was extremely cruel.
“Yes.”
After the bodyguard answered, there were no longer any noises coming from outside.
Ian stood there and thought about it for a moment before he said to Lu Jingye, “I’ll make a trip back to the Count’s Mansion first before coming over to pick up Xiangling in the morning.”
Lu Jingye knew what he was trying to do and did not object to it. He only said, “I hope that not a single accident will happen at the engagement banquet between you and my cousin.”
“You can rest a.s.sured.” Ian promised. “It’s enough for this kind of thing to happen once.”
Lu Jingye nodded his head and turned to return to his room. Ian opened the door and went out.
By the time Lu Jingye walked to the manor’s door, there was the sound of the engine of a car.
…
The next day was a sunny day.
Zi Yi woke up with Lu Jingye. She snuggled into Lu Jingye’s embrace and asked, “Ah Jing, what time is it now? Why do I feel that I only slept for a little bit?”
Lu Jingye said with a smile, “It’s not yet six o’clock. If you’re still sleepy, you can continue sleeping a while longer.”
“No. I’m going for a walk in the vineyard. I heard from my cousin that the vineyard in the morning is extremely gorgeous. I can even head to the pasture to feed the cattle and sheep.”
“Since that’s the case, wake up and get dressed.”
“But I don’t feel like moving.”
After she said that, her legs stretched out and pinned Lu Jingye who was preparing to get up.
Lu Jingye looked at the woman who was lazing in bed with a smile. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead. “So are you getting up or not?”
“Yes~”
Having said that, she rolled her body and climbed on top of him.
The morning was a time when it was easy for one to feel impulsive. Lu Jingye tried lifting her up when Zi Yi just so happened to land in the wrong place. If she doesn’t realize her mistake anytime soon, she won’t be able to go for her morning walk anymore.
Zi Yi did not realize Lu Jingye’s good intentions at all. After Lu Jingye moved her up, she felt that it was not as comfortable as the previous position and so she moved down again.
With this move, she just so happened to feel something.
Zi Yi looked at Lu Jingye.
His eyes were deeper than usual.
Zi Yi said insincerely, “I didn’t do it on purpose.”
In the next second, they changed positions and Lu Jingye looked into Zi Yi’s sparkling eyes. His voice was hoa.r.s.e and deep as he said, “You didn’t do it on purpose?”
Having said that, he lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.
By the time they came out of the room, it was already seven o’clock in the morning.
Dou Zerui who had come back inside after going for a walk was sitting on the sofa and waiting for them. “It’s obvious that you were lazing around in bed. Even if you are lazing around in bed, you shouldn’t stop Lu Jingye from waking up, right?”
Zi Yi did not feel embarra.s.sed at all. Instead, she said seriously, “I went to bed so late last night and so what if I woke up a little late in the morning?”
Dou Zerui did not believe her, but he did not continue rebuking her. Instead, he said, “You two woke up just in time. Qin Ze and I went out to take a look just now. I have to say, this laboratory of yours is the most awesome building I have ever seen.”
“Renovations haven’t even been completed. How do you know if it’s awesome or not?”
“I know it just by imagination.”
His words resulted in the sound of laughter from the others.
Dou Xiangling said to Dou Zerui, “Brother, you have a rich imagination.”
“Haha… since it’s produced by Yiyi, it can’t be bad.”
Zi Yi liked listening to this kind of compliment.
Just then, the housekeeper came in together with the helpers as they served breakfast.
All of them sat down at the dining table and Dou Zerui said to them, “Ian left before dawn. He said he would be coming in the morning to pick up Xiangling. I told him not to come, we’ll make our way over in the early afternoon.”
“That’s fine too.” Zi Yi nodded her head and lowered her head to drink her porridge.
Lu Jingye asked, “Does cousin have a dress for tonight?”
His question resulted in three heads turning to look at Dou Xiangling.
Dou Xiangling revealed a faint smile and said, “Ian said he would be preparing one for me. I just have to go there and change into it.”
Lu Jingye nodded his head and started eating his breakfast.
On the other side.
The Count’s Mansion.
Before the Count and the Countess woke up, they heard a loud noise from outside their bedroom.
“Who has the guts to be causing so much noise outside?” The Countess sat up and shouted in discontentment at the door, “Martha! Martha!”
The door was pushed open slightly and a middle-aged woman’s respectful voice sounded. “Madam.”
“Martha, who’s causing the noise outside?”
When the Countess was asking this question, the Count had also got up.
The Countess quickly a.s.sisted him to dress properly.
The woman outside the door replied hesitantly, “M… Madam, Young Master Ian sent a few men over just moments ago.”
By this time, the Count had already finished getting dressed. He walked over and opened the door. “Who did he send?”
The middle-aged woman who was standing there was startled. She hastily bowed her head and answered meekly, “Young… Young Master said that the men work for the Madam and that she will know after she sees them.”
The Countess did not even think of the possibility that the people she sent to the vineyard would get captured. She got dressed and headed outside. “How would I possibly know the people he brings here?”
Speaking of this, she revealed a sad expression and said, “Count, see how Ian dislikes me as his Mother. Yesterday I sent someone to ask if he needed help with the wedding. However, not only did he humiliate the person I sent, he’s deliberately causing a fuss in the morning to deal with me.”
She started wiping her tears as she continued to speak, “He definitely doesn’t want me to attend his engagement banquet tonight, that’s why he’s making all this ruckus. Right now, my son has been demoted to a commoner, and so does he think I should go and accompany my son?”
The Count’s face was thunderous as he shouted angrily, “How dare he?!”
Having said that, he asked Martha, “Where are those people? Take them all to the yard.”
He would like to see what his good son was planning to do.
Martha hastily walked away to convey the message.
The Count and the Countess went to wash up.
On their way to the courtyard, the Countess was still going on. “As long as Ian gets married, he can inherit your position. No matter what he does to me, I can only accept it and bear with him. It’s all because I’m not his biological mother… However, he seldom came back to the Count’s Mansion in the past and often went around alone. If he were to do something to you…”
“He dares?”
