Chapter 463: Sugar Giver
Jiang Yuning who was hiding in the car, quickly took out her cell phone and turned off her camera flash before she took a picture of the paparazzo, who was distracted at that time.
She had to get her brother to find out the ident.i.ty of this man.
Jiang Yuning could not believe that the paparazzo would actually be so courageous and that he actually dared to tail Lu Jingzhi. If Lu Jingzhi had brought his bodyguards with him today, then the paparazzo would not be chasing after his car but he would have already been pinned to the ground instead.
After the paparazzo left, Jiang Yuning finally relaxed before she called Lu Jingzhi. “Second Brother…”
“Yes?”
“My car is right behind yours. Wait for me.”
After listening to Jiang Yuning, he asked Secretary Ho to stop the car at a hidden spot so he could wait for his little descendant to come over to meet him. After Jiang Yuning arrived at the hidden spot, she handed her car keys over to Secretary Ho before entering the back seat of the car with the red car license plate.
The man who was seated at the back seat of the black sedan was wearing a full suit and even though he was not smiling and had a straight expression on his face, there was a hint of gentleness in his eyes as he looked at Jiang Yuning.
“I was just waiting at our usual spot for you earlier and I was about to call you to inform you, but I saw a paparazzo squatting there, waiting for you to come out of the national defence building. The paparazzo even chased after your car and took several pictures of you although I am certain that all he managed to capture was your car licence plate,” Jiang Yuning said as she handed her cell phone over to Lu Jingzhi. “Second Brother, where are your bodyguards?”
Lu Jingzhi took the phone in his hand and glanced at it for a moment before he turned the cell phone off and placed in into Jiang Yuning’s bag.
“I got it.”
“Second Brother, do you know who is behind this matter? What are you going to do about it?”
After listening to Jiang Yuning’s consecutive questions, Lu Jingzhi smiled as he replied, “No one who is truly a threat to me in the business industry would bother to do this kind of useless things. I am certain that these should be done by people who are interested to find out more information on Jingqi. Are you going to begin filming already?”
“What will happen if they manage to take a picture of you?”
“Are you afraid that I will be photographed?” Lu Jingzhi asked.
Jiang Yuning thought for a moment at this time.
In fact, it seemed as though she had been worried for nothing because what could anyone do even if they took a picture of Lu Jingzhi?
Would anyone dare to upload or share the photo of Lu Jingzhi? Even if someone dared to upload his picture on the Internet, all that anyone could see was that man with a mysterious aura and long legs to match a perfect body. Moreover, the fans of the love line between the childhood sweethearts had always been complaining that they did not have a picture of Lu Jingzhi’s front view.
These fans had been keeping themselves sane with merely a picture of Lu Jingzhi’s side profile.
As she thought about this, Jiang Yuning used her second social media account to look at the fan page for the love line between Lu Jingzhi and herself on the way back to the Lu family mansion. She discovered that the fans were begging for more sugar every day.
[I really hope that the party involved will be kind enough to give us a picture of himself. If my wish is fulfilled, I promise that I will definitely live my life in a positive manner.]
[Even though I really do not want to pour cold water on you, I am afraid that your wish will never come true. We will never have a picture of Lu Jingzhi’s front profile.]
[Sob. Sob. We are really so miserable.]
[I don’t care! I have already made a wish.]
[How did we survive for so long even though there has been no interaction between both of them at all?]
[Sisters, continue to persevere! This is not just a dream. Sob. Sob. I can’t continue editing pictures of Empress Jiang with the same side profile picture anymore. We are really very miserable…]
[Where can we get a picture of Lu Jingzhi’s front view? Can we actually get his picture from NTU?]
[Sisters, hurry up and head to NTU! Go to the forum, or anywhere else and see if you can find anything at all!]
Jiang Yuning could not help but laugh out loud when she saw how pitiful the fans on the fan page were.
It was already surprising enough that these fans actually had a picture of Lu Jingzhi’s side profile. Moreover, Jiang Yuning knew that it would be impossible for the fans to find any pictures of Lu Jingzhi from NTU’s forum since Lu Jingzhi had already worked with all the relevant departments to deal with anything connected to him in the first place.
Jiang Yuning laughed as she shared what she saw on the fan page with Lu Jingzhi.
“Second Brother, do you think that this fan page for our love line will be able to survive until the day we finally make our relations.h.i.+p known to the public?”
“Definitely,” Lu Jingzhi replied as he rested his head against Jiang Yuning.
What was the big deal? He could get Secretary Ho to release some information if he felt as though the fans were about to give up on their love line.
Anyway, the fans of the love line would never imagine that there would actually be a day where their dream would finally come true.
…
Whatever it was, Jiang Yuning sent the picture of the paparazzo to Ku Jie when she got home that night to ask for his help to investigate the ident.i.ty of this person.
Jiang Yuning woke up early the next morning to pack her luggage because she was going to begin filming. At this time, she suddenly realized that she had not given the gift that she bought from Iceland to Lu Jingzhi yet.
Sitting on the floor, Jiang Yuning smiled before she picked up the little gift box and placed it on the bedside table. After that, she wrote a note before she left for work.
“I will leave secretly while you are still asleep because I know I will not be able to leave your side if I were to look into your eyes. I have to leave before you wake up so I will not cry the whole way in the car.”
“Second Brother, I bought this gift for you when I was in Iceland but I have forgotten to give it to you because I had been so busy lately. Sorry, but I hope that you will like it.”
After writing the message, Jiang Yuning also drew a heart at the end of the note.
Just like many years ago.
Jiang Yuning placed the note underneath the gift box before she got up and left the Lu family mansion. At this time, it was still dark outside and the cold air was blowing as Empress Jiang was about to start yet another journey.
After all, the process of filming would not be an easy one.
Lu Jingzhi did not know that Jiang Yuning had already left and when he finally woke up, he realized that the spot in the bed next to him was already cold.
At this time, Lu Jingzhi was about to step out of bed but he saw the thing that Jiang Yuning had left on the bedside table for him. He already knew about the gift box. As for the note…
It seemed as though the husband and wife finally had a ceremonial and warm relations.h.i.+p between both of them.
In a blink of an eye, it was already seven thirty in the morning.
Secretary Ho was waiting outside for the princ.i.p.al and when Lu Jingzhi stepped out of the house, Secretary Ho immediately noticed the pair of cufflinks that Lu Jingzhi was wearing.
“Princ.i.p.al, is that a gift from Young Mistress?”
At this time, Lu Jingzhi looked at Secretary Ho with a thoughtful expression on his face. Secretary Ho did not understand why the princ.i.p.al looked at him in that manner but he finally understood the expression on the princ.i.p.al’s face after getting into the car.
This was because Secretary Ho had a new nickname on the fan page for the love line between Lu Jingzhi and Jiang Yuning.
He had been nicknamed the ‘Sugar Giver’ and it seemed as though he had just uploaded a picture of Lu Jingzhi onto the fan page. Of course, it was a picture of Lu Jingzhi’s upper body dressed in a suit, but all that could be seen was just his chin and the emphasis of the picture was placed on the pair of cufflinks.
The caption accompanying the photo was: “Jiang Yuning’s other half?”
At first, the fans did not pay any attention to the picture at all until one of the girls who was very attentive suddenly noticed that something was amiss.
[Oh my G.o.d! Oh my G.o.d! This is Lu Jingzhi. This is his chin! I have seen this chin before.]
[Impossible! Are you sure about this?]
[Oh my G.o.d! It is really him.]
[Just look at the comparison of the pictures below. It is indeed the same person. The shape of his chin, his Adam’s apple…everything is the same!]
[I can’t believe this! Who owns this account? Who actually has a picture of Lu Jingzhi? I feel so happy and excited right now!]
After that, Sugar Giver replied to the message: “Shh! Do not spread this picture all over the internet. Otherwise, I will not be able to give you any more pictures like this in future!]
[Ahh!]
The fans continued screaming excitedly.
Was this really happening?
Of course, there were also fans who doubted the authenticity of this picture.
[I don’t think that this picture is credible at all. I believe that every one of you should know the status and ident.i.ty of the heir of the Lu family. How would it be possible for anyone to actually have a picture of him unless the picture is taken by one of his staff members or employees?]
[Exactly! I don’t believe that this picture is real too.]
[I don’t care what any of you think! I believe in what I believe in! Do you guys know that the pair of cufflinks shown in the picture is actually a cla.s.sic model under the brand, Flowers, that Empress Jiang recently endorsed? I went to one of the Flowers boutique shop to choose a birthday gift for my boyfriend a few days ago and I saw this cufflink in the catalogue! It looks exactly the same. The most important thing is that this pair of cufflinks is actually currently out of stock locally and it is only available abroad! Do you know what this means? Didn’t someone actually go to Iceland to shoot her commercial recently?]
