Chapter 420: She Said Yes
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
His voice fell on her ear and easily aroused her heart.
Ning Li finally knew what was different about Lu Huaiyu tonight.
He seemed to have broken away from a layer of invisible shackles and spread out all his emotions and thoughts.
So, everything seemed obvious now.
He clearly had not been drinking.
Perhaps, this was the real him.
He had dragged out his last word, with a unique patience and coaxing that no one else had.
His gaze was so direct that Ning Li felt that her heart seemed to have been burned.
Her face was flushed red, and her eyes were moist.
Lu Huaiyu felt extremely hot beneath her gaze. Finally, he could not help but raise his hand to cover her eyes.
In an instant, her vision fell into darkness.
Her ears heard his deep and hoa.r.s.e voice.
“Is that okay?”
After a long time, Ning Li nodded her head gently.
Good.
…
Ning Li returned to the Ye family home.
She went back to her room to wash up, changed into her pajamas, and went to bed, preparing to sleep.
She used the back of her hand to touch her face. It still seemed a little hot.
She laid down for a long time but did not fall asleep.
Her mind seemed to be full of thoughts, but it also seemed to be empty.
She got up and opened the window.
The evening breeze in April was slightly cool. She took a deep breath and felt that the surging emotions in her chest had slightly dissipated.
She casually picked up her phone and realized that Lu Huaiyu had posted an update on his WeChat Moments.
There was still no text, only a picture.
In the picture was a strawberry cake. In the middle, there was clearly a strawberry missing.
Obviously, it had been eaten.
Many images appeared in front of her eyes.
She stared at the picture for a while and soon received a message from Lu Huaiyu.
“Good night, Ah Li.”
This time, he had sent a voice message.
Ning Li listened to it and gently rubbed her ears.
She typed one sentence.
[ Good night, Second Brother. ]
After replying to his message, she clicked on Lu Huaiyu’s profile picture.
He had only posted two Moments in total.
One was the strawberry cake from today, and the other was the rib soup from last time.
She turned off her phone, returned to her bed, pulled up the quilt, and muttered softly.
“Lu Huaiyu.
“Good night.”
…
Lu Huaiyu’s Moments once again stirred up a huge wave in the hearts of countless people.
The Second Master of the Lu family came from a n.o.ble family in the Capital. He had always been extremely picky when it came to food and clothing. He was n.o.ble, aloof, proud, and was very difficult to serve.
But now, he had made this kind of post.
Wasn’t it just a small strawberry cake?
What was so precious about it?
Cheng Xiyue, who was currently on a business trip in Lincheng, laughed coldly when faced with this photo. Then, he proceeded to order a large strawberry salad takeaway meal for himself.

Wasn’t it just strawberries! Who didn’t have them?
Twenty minutes later, the Young Master Cheng received his takeaway meal.
The strawberry salad looked very good, and the shop owner was especially considerate, giving him three sets of cutlery.
A minute later, Young Master Cheng indignantly threw two of the cutlery sets into the trash can.
Huh!
When Gu Tinglan saw this post on WeChat Moments, he heaved a sigh of relief.
After thinking for a long time, he could not help but shake his head and smile again, ma.s.saging the s.p.a.ce between his brows as he felt a slight headache coming on.
Ning Li was more important to Lu Huaiyu than he had expected.
Even after encountering such a scene today, Lu Huaiyu had still been able to post such a picture on his WeChat Moments…
He just did not know whether it was good or bad for this to continue…
His phone suddenly vibrated. It was a message from Gu Siyang.
[ Uncle, what’s going on with Second Master Lu’s WeChat Moments? ]
Before Gu Tinglan could think of a reply, he saw another message from the other side.
[ Even he is starting to be so frugal. Could it be that there’s something wrong with the Lu Family? ]
Gu Tinglan took a deep breath.
He suddenly felt that it would be better for him to show more concern for his own family when he had the time.
How had such a brat appeared in the Gu family?
He had endured it again and again. In the end, however, he could not endure it anymore and called Gu Tingfeng, who was thousands of miles away.
“Big Brother, have you and sister-in-law taken Gu Siyang to be tested for his intelligence before?”

…
At the end of April, the entire city of Yunzhou was going through the second mock exam.
Compared to the first mock exam, the difficulty of the exam this time was much higher.
After the final paper, countless students came out of the examination hall and sighed.
“The exam this time was too difficult!?”
“My mom even told me not to rush it. I’m dying of laughter. I feel like I didn’t learn anything at all.”
“Forget it, forget it. Let’s just leave it to fate!”
The crowd was bustling.
Ning Li went to have dinner and returned to the cla.s.sroom at night.
Today was Friday. The exam papers would be graded tomorrow, so the evening self-study and the morning cla.s.ses had been canceled. It could be considered as giving the students a short break.
Some of the people who were about to leave were speechless when they saw Ning Li go back to read. Then, they silently walked back in as well.

In First Cla.s.s’ cla.s.sroom, everyone began to lower their heads and study.
When the students from the other cla.s.ses saw this, they gave a thumbs up from afar and were filled with respect.
–Look at First Cla.s.s! This awareness! It’s amazing!
If you didn’t go to a good university, who else could?
It wasn’t until the evening self-study ended that Ning Li packed her backpack, stood up, and left.
…
At night, the moment she returned to the Ye residence and pushed open the door, Ning Li sensed that something was wrong.
The living room on the first floor was empty and quiet.
However, the corner of the coffee table was broken, as if it had been smashed by something.
Ning Li looked at it and narrowed her eyes.
She remembered clearly that the last time Ye Ming had lost his temper, he had smashed a teacup but had not left this mark on the coffee table.
By the looks of it, it seemed to have been newly made.
Suddenly, the sound of something falling to the ground came from the master bedroom on the first floor.
Following that, Su Yuan’s sharp and sorrowful cry was heard.
“Ye Ming! How could you do this to me?!”
This voice could be heard very clearly in the s.p.a.cious villa.
Ning Li’s expression was indifferent.
Oh.
So, this was the day.
