Chapter 665: You Aren’t Young and Don’t Tell Me You Intend To Remain a Bachelor All Your Life?
Zi Yi fluttered her beautiful eyelashes at him and acted cutely. “I was waiting for you.”
Lu Jingye was only pretending to be serious and the moment he heard her, he could not maintain his serious expression.
He raised his hand and touched her head. “I’ll go and take a shower, you can go to bed first.”
Zi Yi held his neck before he could stand up straight and Lu Jingye had no choice but to support himself up with one hand on the edge of the bed.
Zi Yi came closer to his lips and narrowed her eyes as she said with a smile, similar to that of a fox, “Mom said that you have to cook for me if I can’t get accustomed to the food at Country Em.”
Lu Jingye softly responded with an ‘ok’. He was clearly happy to take this job.
Zi Yi was happy with his response and she rewarded him with a kiss on the lips.
She then moved back and said, “Mom is the best Mother in the whole world. I love her.”
There was also a smile on Lu Jingye’s face and he purposely asked, “What about me?”
Zi Yi’s eyes lingered on his lips and she approached him once again. However, she did not kiss him.

She then stuck out her tongue and licked his lips.
After she finished licking, she looked up to see his reaction.
Lu Jingye only narrowed his eyes and he did not have any other expressions.
Zi Yi was a little unsatisfied and she put her lips against his.
Lu Jingye remove his hand propping him up on the bed and lowered himself down.
…
Zi Yi woke up slightly later than usual the next day.
Lu Jingye just so happened to return from his morning exercise when she woke up.
She struggled to open her sleepy eyes and asked, “Ah Jing, what time is it now?”
Lu Jingye brought her clothes over and said, “7:20 a.m.”
“Hmm?” Zi Yi sat up muddle-headedly and the quilt covering her body slid down, revealing a large area of white skin that had some faint traces of love all over.
Lu Jingye quickly pulled up her quilt and increased the temperature of the warm air conditioning.
Zi Yi acted spoiled. “I feel sore all over and I don’t want to put on my clothes.”
Lu Jingye could not help it. He ended up holding her up and helped her to wear her clothes.
Zi Yi purposely did not cooperate with him.
Her dazzling fair body was exposed in front of him and it caused his Adam’s apple to bob up and down several times. His eyes deepened and his voice had even lowered several octaves. “Don’t be naughty.”
Zi Yi raised her hand to touch his face and refused to admit it. “I wasn’t being naughty. You were the one who is bad at helping.”
Lu Jingye grabbed her hand that was acting up and gave her a kiss on the corner of her lips. He then said in an unhurried tone, “Father, Mother, and Yunxiao are all waiting for us to eat breakfast downstairs. Are you sure you don’t want to cooperate with me?”
The moment Zi Yi heard what he said, her expression stiffened and in the next second, her cheeks turned red in an instant.
Lu Jingye looked at the young lady who was feeling a delayed onset of embarra.s.sment. The smile on his face deepened and he was not in a rush to help her dress either. His right hand touched her back and it slowly moved forward.
Zi Yi’s body s.h.i.+vered and she pushed his hand away. She s.n.a.t.c.hed her clothes from his hand and said, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I’ll put them on by myself.”
Lu Jingye certainly would not tease her anymore, or else he would have difficulty extinguis.h.i.+ng the fire in his own body.
While Zi Yi was getting dressed, he headed towards the bathroom and said, “There’s no need to rush, they won’t say anything.”
The response he received was Zi Yi’s dissatisfied huff.
After Zi Yi washed up and came down together with Lu Jingye, the other three family members of the Lu Family were waiting for them on the living room sofa.
Mrs. Lu saw Zi Yi walking over at Lu Jingye’s side and she said, “I was just saying that we won’t be waiting for you two anymore. After eating, we should do whatever we need to do.”
Zi Yi was not the type of person who would be embarra.s.sed for a prolonged period of time. After hearing what Mrs. Lu said, she nodded her head in agreement. “That’s right, if I get up late in the future, there’s no need to wait for me.”
The five of them headed to the dining table together.
Mrs. Lu picked up a soup bun and placed it in Zi Yi’s bowl. She then looked at Lu Yunxiao who was eating silently and asked, “Yunxiao, did you come back home after midnight yesterday?”
“Yes.”
No matter where he was Lu Yunxiao was someone who rarely spoke.
Mrs. Lu did not find it a problem on usual days, but now that she had an eldest daughter-in-law, she suddenly felt a little dissatisfied. Looking at his current appearance made her feel unhappy. “Now should be a time where you’re taking care of your body and yet, you’re running all over the place for the entire day. You aren’t young anymore and do you intend to remain a bachelor for all your life?”
There was not the slightest trace of animated expression on Lu Yunxiao’s face. He listened in silence and did not make any comments.
Mrs. Lu was even unhappier. “I don’t care, you must come back home and have dinner with us during this period of time. Yiyi, is so busy and yet, she still comes home every day to have dinner.”
Lu Yunxiao still remained silent.
Mrs. Lu was not asking about his opinion at all and she continued to say, “Before you go out, get Yiyi to write a tonic prescription for you and I’ll help you nourish your body instead.”
Zi Yi thought that Lu Yunxiao would remain silent throughout but after Mrs. Lu finished talking, he said, “Mother, don’t be angry.”
He then picked up a shrimp dumpling and placed it in her bowl.
Mrs. Lu’s anger had instantly dissipated.
She then compromised a little. “Even if you can’t come back home for dinner every day, you should still come home earlier to rest. Your body has yet to fully recover and if something happens to you again, how do you want me to live?”
“Mother, I know my limits.”
Just then, Lu Jingye timely intervened and changed the topic. The atmosphere on the table became relaxed once again.
After breakfast, Mrs. Lu sent everyone off at the yard.
Zi Yi looked at Mrs. Lu standing alone and she felt bad. She thought for a moment and asked, “Mom, I’ll be heading to the art gallery today. Do you want to go with me?”
Mrs. Lu would certainly be willing. “Wait for me while I go and change my clothes.”
Mrs. Lu returned to the villa to change her clothes, while Zi Yi and Lu Jingye stood there waiting for her.
Zi Yi blinked her eyes and looked at Lu Jingye. “I thought that Yunxiao had no EQ. I didn’t expect that he even knows how to coax Mom.”
Lu Jingye chuckled. “Yunxiao is just not that fond of talking, it’s not that he doesn’t have a high EQ.”
Zi Yi shrugged her shoulders and suddenly felt like gossiping. “Say, the woman Yunxiao mentioned, could she be…”
Zi Yi did not finish her sentence, by Lu Jingye guessed what she was trying to say. He pressed his hand over her hand and his expression turned serious. “No matter if she is or not, they can only be enemies if Yunxiao were to meet her again.”
She was someone who nearly caused his death and no matter what they had between them in the past, they would only be enemies in the future.
Zi Yi tilted her head and thought of his words.
Lu Jingye caressed her slightly cool cheeks and asked, “Did you bring a mask?”
“Hmm?” Zi Yi only managed to react after a delay and she nodded her head. “I have a mask in my bag.”
She then pulled the previous topic back. “I feel that the woman Yunxiao mentioned might not be what we thought of her.”
“That had better be the case.” Lu Jingye held her bag and opened it. He took out a mask from inside and helped her wear it. “No matter what, if we do meet her again, I will not let her off.”
“Mmh,” Zi Yi said what she felt, “That woman Yunxiao mentioned must not be a simple character. In fact, I really want to go and see the secret research base he mentioned.”
Zi Yi only said it in pa.s.sing. She knew that no one would allow her to head to a place that dangerous.
