Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It was now less than a week before Jiang Yuning would officially join the cast of .
However, there had been no news at all about their marriage registration since the day of her proposal to Lu Jingzhi. What was happening?
Had he already changed his mind about getting married to her?
Or did perhaps no longer cherish her because she had proposed marriage to him?
Second brother really was such a pig! Even if he no longer wanted to marry her, he should have at least given her notice!
Jiang Yuning could not stop thinking about this matter, leading her to being absent minded for the past few days. While she would have usually run to greet Lu Jingzhi at the door as soon as he entered the villa after work, for the past two days, Jiang Yuning was always at the balcony memorizing her script when he came home.
“Sir, Miss Jiang seems to be having no appet.i.te for the past two days,” Sister Liang suddenly said when she was taking Lu Jingzhi’s coat off him.
“Okay, I have got it.” Lu Jingzhi nodded before he headed to the bedroom upstairs to change out of his work clothes. When he entered the bedroom, he saw Jiang Yuning’s laptop that was placed on top of the dressing table.
Lu Jingzhi bent over to look at her laptop and he could not help but laugh as he was dumbfounded when he scrolled through her browsing history.
He needed to made the necessary preparation to get married. He could not simply rush through it.
That was the reason why he had not said anything to Jiang Yuning. However, he did not know that this would have caused her to feel so insecure and uneasy.
After putting on a white casual s.h.i.+rt, Lu Jingzhi went downstairs and he walked to the balcony where Jiang Yuning was lying down as she memorized her script. He quickly pulled her up and said, “Is it so tiring to memorize your drama script? Is that why you are lazy to greet me after work nowadays?”
“It’s not because of that,” Jiang Yuning scorned as she leaned against Lu Jingzhi’s chest. “Think about why I am acting like this!”
“Is it because you think you have acted hastily as there has been no response from your boyfriend after your proposal?” Lu Jingzhi smirked as he rubbed his nose gently against Jiang Yuning’s ear.
“Why did you invade my privacy?!”
“You are out here in the balcony but your laptop is wide open on the dresser in the bedroom. The screensaver had not even showed up yet and the search history was left out in the open. I believe that you heard me coming home and you deliberately left the laptop there for me to see it for myself,” Lu Jingzhi said as he smiled and held onto her hands. “I know that if you really had not wanted me to see anything, you would not have left any evidence behind.”
Jiang Yuning smiled before she broke out of Lu Jingzhi’s arms and hit him lightly on his chest.
“Do you know how many days it has been already since I proposed to you? Did you think that I was just joking? Is that why you are not taking me seriously?”
Lu Jingzhi held onto Jiang Yuning’s hands as he replied, “You have to be more patient, Mrs. Lu…”
“Who…who is your wife now? We do not even have a marriage certificate now!” Jiang Yuning exclaimed immediately.
“We will get it done soon.” After that, Lu Jingzhi pulled Jiang Yuning up and sat her on his lap before staring directly into her eyes. “From the first day that I had brought you back to the Royal Dragon Villa, I had never intended to let you leave this place. In my heart, you are already Mrs. Lu, so there is nothing that you have to feel worried or insecure about. Go and put on a coat. We can go for a walk by the beach.”
“Alright then. My eyes are already hurting from looking at the drama script for the whole day anyway,” Jiang Yuning replied before she stood up and brought her script up to the bedroom. Jiang Yuning put on a white knitted jacket before she headed downstairs. She then held hands with Lu Jingzhi as they walked down to the beach.
She had never gotten the chance to explore and spent time on this beach by the sea ever since she moved here because of her ident.i.ty.
While there would usually be many people hanging out at this beach on weekdays, the beach somehow seemed very quiet that day.
The two of them walked along the beach as they felt the gentle sea breeze blowing towards them. Suddenly, Jiang Yuning screamed, “Second brother, am I seeing things? Is that a glowing sea sh.e.l.l? How could the sea sh.e.l.ls glow and illuminate like that? Is it possible?”
“No, it is impossible,” Lu Jingzhi replied as he shook his head.
“I am serious! If you do not believe me, I will pick it up to show you!” Jiang Yuning quickly let go of Lu Jingzhi’s hand as she ran forward to pick up the glowing sea sh.e.l.l. “Look! Isn’t this sea sh.e.l.l glowing brightly?”
Lu Jingzhi took the sea sh.e.l.l from her hands and he said, “Where would you be able to find any glowing sea sh.e.l.ls in this world? You are so silly. I have only done this to attract your attention…”
After that, Lu Jingzhi opened up the sea sh.e.l.l. Hidden in the sea sh.e.l.l was a six-clawed white diamond ring. Was this the legendary pigeon egg diamond?
When Jiang Yuning saw the diamond ring, she was so shocked that she could only stare at Lu Jingzhi with her mouth wide open.
Lu Jingzhi then took out the diamond ring and got down on one knee in front of Jiang Yuning. “This heart has always belonged to you for the past twelve years. What about you? Are you ready to be mine forever?”
“Yes. Yes. Yes. I am ready. If you are willing, I would want to spend my next ten lifetimes with you too,” Jiang Yuning replied as tears flowed down her face. She reached out for the ring and said, “Hey! You did not tell me that you would be proposing to me tonight.”
Lu Jingzhi slipped the diamond ring onto her finger before he looked at her and said, “If I had told you, there would be no surprise anymore. You even believed…that there could be a glowing sea sh.e.l.l.”
“You are a liar!”
“It is my greatest joy to be able to trick you into marrying me,” Lu Jingzhi replied as he held Jiang Yuning tightly in his arms.
He had to tie down this little fox before she ran away from him.
“What if you had not succeeded in fooling me?”
“Then…I would drag you to the Civil Bureau Affairs directly and force you to marry me there! Don’t you remember what uncle had said? If you refuse to marry me, he would break your legs!”
Jiang Yuning wanted to get closer to Lu Jingzhi. She wanted to kiss him but she was afraid.
In fact, Lu Jingzhi had already booked the entire beach tonight.
“Are you afraid?” Lu Jingzhi could immediately sense what was going through Jiang Yuning’s mind.
“Do you want to go home?”
Lu Jingzhi sneered before he hugged the little fox tightly in his arms. “You are not allowed to go home tonight…I want you to clearly remember what happened tonight.”
Oh my!
Exploding! Oh my G.o.d!
How they hope that this night could last longer. If only tonight could last forever.
…
Early the next morning, at the secret headquarter of X Society, one of the employees in charge of receiving phone calls from the public wis.h.i.+ng to report any news hurried over to Ku Jie’s office and quickly knocked on his door.
“Brother Ku Jie, I have received an incoming phone call wis.h.i.+ng to expose some secrets related to you…do you want to answer the phone call?”
Ku Jie frowned before he placed down the doc.u.ments in his hand and went over to answer the phone call using a voice changing machine.
“Does X Society really need to be this secretive? Do you really need to use a voice changing machine when you receive a phone call?” the woman on the other side of the line asked immediately.
However, Ku Jie was instantly wide awake because he recognized the woman’s voice. He knew who she was immediately.
“What material do you have on Jiang Muyang that you wish to reveal to the public?” Ku Jie asked, trying to sound professional over the phone.
“I want to report information on Jiang Muyang’s extravagant personal life. He has an indecent relations.h.i.+p with his sister, Jiang Yuning, and I also have a lot of intimate photographs of him and his girlfriend who lives abroad…”
“Then, do you have any intimate photos of Jiang Muyang and Jiang Yuning?” Ku Jie asked with an impatient look on his face.
“If I already have intimate photos of Jiang Yuning and her brother, why would I need to pay such a high price to hire you? I want you to get those photographs of both of them, no matter what you have to do. I am willing to pay any price as long as both the brother and sister are ultimately defeated.”
