Chapter 790: Naughty Girl, Are You Really Planning To Let Me Go Without Sleep?
Zi Yi giggled. “They’ll think that I’ve been torturing you all night?”
“Isn’t that the case?”
Zi Yi swiftly kissed him on the lips and continued to giggle.
The skies were still dark at this time and only the ground lamps in the villa were turned on.
Lu Jingye and Zi Yi originally did not want to disturb anyone.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Lu Jingye carried her and walked towards the staircase, a head stretched out from the third floor. Subsequently, Mrs. Lu breathed a sigh of relief. “Yiyi, you’re finally awake.”
“Are you hungry? Wait for me, I’ll come down and make some food for you.”
Mrs. Lu did not give them a chance to speak as the sound of footsteps could be heard coming down from the third floor.
Lu Jingye continued carrying her and headed downstairs.
As soon as they reached the ground floor, Mrs. Lu and Second Master Lu arrived at the second floor.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yunxiao had also come out.
...
Zi Yi was facing in their direction and the moment she met their gazes, she felt embarra.s.sed for some reason and buried her head in Lu Jingye’s chest.
It was rare for Lu Jingye to see his wife feeling embarra.s.sed. He then asked with a smile, “What’s wrong?”
Zi Yi muttered while she was leaning on his chest, “I suddenly feel like we got caught stealing food.”
The smile on Lu Jingye’s lips deepened.
He carried Zi Yi to the sofa and put her down.
By this time, Lu Yunxiao had already come down and opened the door to the living room.
Mrs. Lu headed to the kitchen. “I’ll go cook some wontons for Yiyi.”
Second Master Lu and Lu Yunxiao also came over and the four of them sat on the sofa together.
Second Master Lu was the first to speak. “Little Zi, it’s been hard on you.”
Zi Yi nodded her head without any hesitation. “It was indeed hard on me. If he had been more obedient, his blood vessels wouldn’t have burst in the middle of the operation and neither would he have suffered from blocked nerves.”
Zi Yi’s tone of voice carried an air of displeasure.
However, the father and sons were shocked by the news.
“Father’s condition was so serious?”
“Yes. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have taken over the operation.”
Zi Yi would never hide it if she disliked someone. She was not fond of Patriarch Lu and she did not want to save him at all.
Lu Jingye and Lu Yunxiao did not say anything.
Lu Jianlin merely sighed and said, “Your Grandfather’s personality is just like that. Many people hate him for that too. I know that you’ve been wronged. If you don’t want to see him in the future, so be it.”
Zi Yi nodded her head.
She was very hungry right now. So hungry to the extent that she did not have any strength. She leaned her head on Lu Jingye’s shoulders.
Just then, Mrs. Lu came out of the kitchen with a bowl of wontons cooked in chicken soup.
Zi Yi started salivating at the scent of the chicken soup.
Mrs. Lu came over and handed the bowl to Lu Jingye and he held it for her to eat.
Mrs. Lu also sat down and looked at her as she ate. “It’s still early now. After finis.h.i.+ng the food, you two should go back and sleep some more. I’ve prepared the gift for you to bring to the Dou Family for tomorrow. You can make your way over straight away after you wake up.”
Zi Yi finished the wonton in her mouth and said, “Thanks, Mom.”
Mrs. Lu’s lips unconsciously curved up. “Everything’s ok as long as you are fine.”
“I’m alright, I was just a little exhausted,” Zi Yi said, “I’ve worried all of you.”
Everyone watched Zi Yi finish the bowl of wontons before they went back upstairs to continue sleeping.
It was already 5 a.m. by that time.
Zi Yi leaned in Lu Jingye’s embrace and her fingers gently stroked his chest, as if trying to put him to sleep.
Lu Jingye looked at the young lady who could not fall asleep and was purposely pretending to be sleepy, and grasped her hand.
Zi Yi opened her eyes and gave him a confused look.
Lu Jingye said, “If you continue touching me, it will be harder for me to fall asleep.”
Zi Yi blinked her eyes innocently. “Aren’t I worried that you might find it hard to sleep and so I’m trying to coax you to sleep, no?”
“Are you treating me like a child? Hmm?”
“You aren’t a child. You are an old mhmm-”
When her lips were sealed, the remaining word, ‘uncle’ had been blocked and would never see the light of day.
She subconsciously hugged his neck while her body flipped over and climbed on top of him.
A blazing fire was ignited.
Both of them were a little rough.
When Zi Yi quietly lowered her hand, Lu Jingye finally stopped and at the same time, grabbed her hand.
“Naughty girl, are you really planning to let me go without sleep today?”
Lu Jingye breathed next to her ears and interlocked their hands together.
Zi Yi propped up her upper body.
She felt his lower body’s excitement and blinked her eyes while saying innocent-sounding words, “Aren’t I worried that you’ll go crazy from holding back too much?”
Lu Jingye pulled her head down and bit her lips.
“Ah-”
Zi Yi widened her eyes discontentedly. “Why did you bite me?”
Lu Jingye looked at her red and plump lips and swallowed his saliva as he said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “I won’t go crazy, as long as you stay still.”
Having said that, he moved her down to the side and hugged her sideways as he whispered in her ears, “Yiyi, I’m sleepy.”
How could Zi Yi stand such a soft tone of voice? She stopped messing around with him and found a comfortable position in his arms before closing her eyes.
“Let’s sleep until eight o’clock in the morning.”
“Ok.”
…
When Zi Yi opened her eyes once again, the skies were already bright.
The sound of water coming from the washroom indicated that Lu Jingye also woke up not too long ago.
Zi Yi lazily lay in the bed and one of her hands unconsciously touched her belly and stroked it.
In the interstellar era, their offspring were created by extracting both individual’s sperm and egg and then raised in a tube. In this case, it would not harm the woman’s body.
However, women here had to be pregnant for ten months on Earth.
Zi Yi found it particularly novel.
In particular, her flat lower abdomen felt very soft at that moment and her tummy had obviously grown fles.h.i.+er
Zi Yi gently poked the flesh on her tummy. It was very elastic.
She became interested and simply lifted the quilt as she looked at it and continued poking it two more times.
When she was about to poke it for the third time, the door of the washroom was pushed open. Lu Jingye, who was wearing a pair of pants, walked out from inside.
His gaze immediately landed on her finger and he strode over to cover her up with the quilt. Following that, he sternly lectured her. “Even though there’s a heater turned on in the room, you should still cover yourself with a quilt, otherwise it’ll be cold.”
“It’s not cold at all~”
Zi Yi pushed the quilt away once again and pointed at her tummy. “Ah Jing, look. Isn’t my tummy very fleshy?”
Lu Jingye had no way to deal with her and ended up raising his hand to touch her tummy. “Since you’re awake, get up and change your clothes. We still have to visit your Grandfather’s place later.”
Only then did Zi Yi pull down her pajama top and get down from the bed.
When they came downstairs, there was a guest in the living room.
He was a middle-aged man whom Zi Yi did not recognize. Even though he had dressed plainly, that aura of his was obviously not something an ordinary person possessed.
Lu Jingye said to Zi Yi, “He’s the Deputy Minister of Finance. His surname is Jiang.”
The moment Lu Jingye’s voice sounded, the two men seated on the sofa turned their heads to look over at them.
Deputy Minister Jiang greeted Lu Jingye with a smile. “Little Lu, good morning, and Happy New Year to you.”
“Uncle Jiang, good morning. Happy New Year.”
When Lu Jingye and Zi Yi came downstairs, Mrs. Lu came out of the kitchen and said with a smile, “You’re up. Come over and have breakfast first.”
