Zi Yi started looking for her phone, only to realize that she had left in a hurry from the plane last night and did not take anything with her.
Lu Jingye saw her anxious look and held her hand. “I’ve already requested leave for you.”
“Uhm…”
Zi Yi looked at him with a doubtful gaze. “Who did you request it from?”
“The Head of your Department.”
“…”
“What’s wrong?”
Zi Yi was thinking of the HOD’s (Head of Department) reaction when Lu Jingye called in to request leave on her behalf. While thinking, the corner of her lips curled up and she said, “It’s nothing, everything’s good as long as you’ve asked for leave.”
The two of them continued walking.
Zi Yi explained to him about her progress in great detail. “The medicinal ingredients you found are all of good quality. The extraction technology in this world is too elementary and I still have to make some modifications to the extraction machine that I previously got you to have custom made.”
Speaking up to here, she saw Lu Jingye suddenly stop walking and look at her with a serious expression. She followed suit and blinked those watery eyes of hers due to the lack of sleep and asked in confusion, “What’s wrong?”
Lu Jingye looked at the young lady before him and raised his hand to stroke her head before he pulled her into his embrace and whispered in her ears, “Yiyi, promise me. No matter who you are in front of, don’t ever say words like your world or this world.”
Zi Yi’s cheeks rubbed against his chest and she responded with an ok.
Only then did Lu Jingye release her and continue walking.
Lu Jingye asked, “What else do you need?”
Zi Yi pondered over his question for a moment and asked, “Are you able to find a space meteorite?”
Lu Jingye nodded his head affirmatively. “Yes.”
“Okay, there’s a type of meteorite with a special element which I need to extract.”
After they had breakfast together, Lu Jingye got Zi Yi to take a rest, whereas he went to wash up.
When he walked out of the bathroom, Zi Yi was already lying on the bed. When she saw that he was wearing a suit, she asked in surprise, “Ah Jing, you aren’t resting?”
“I have to make a trip to the capital.”
Lu Jingye walked up to her and leaned down to give her a light peck on her forehead. “I have to go back and discuss with my father about this… there’s also my mother. She definitely would like to meet you now that you’re supposed to have returned. I have to appease her.”
Zi Yi raised her hand around his neck and prevented him from standing up straight. “Just tell auntie that I wish to stay here and play for a few more days.”
Zi Yi’s lips moved up. Following that, she delivered her lips to his.
Lu Jingye raised his hand to hold onto her head. The both of them kissed for some time before he released her and left the base.
…
As soon as Lu Jingye returned to the capital, he directly made his way to where Lu Jianlin worked. They had a two and a half hour long discussion in the office before they walked out together.
On the way, everyone who saw Lu Jianlin would greet him and nod at Lu Jingye at the same time.
After the two of them got in the car, Lu Jianlin said, “Go and visit your mother first. She has been worried about your younger brother these days and mentioned him several times.”
Lu Jingye responded with an ok.
Lu Jianlin tugged his tie from his neck and traces of irritability could be detected from his stern expression. “Can she really save Yunxiao?”
Lu Jingye took out his phone and showed him images of Lu Yunxiao’s condition when the purple spots had appeared due to the signs of rejection of foreign objects and when Zi Yi had rescued him.
Lu Jianlin took the phone and looked at the appearance of his youngest son. Traces of sadness flashed through his eyes and he was silent for several seconds before he said, “When Yunxiao’s condition improves, I will talk to your mother about this.”
She would only be more worried if he told her now. In the event he could not be cured…
Lu Jianlin was unwilling to continue his train of thought and continued to speak. “For your grandfather’s side, we can only wait until Lu Yunxiao regains consciousness before we tell him.”
When Lu Yunxiao suddenly lost consciousness and was determined to be brain dead, the time between was too short. The father and son had no clue as to what had happened and were afraid that the person who harmed Lu Yunxiao was lurking around the old man. For the sake of the Lu Family, the father and son could only hide this from everyone.
However, what Lu Jingye did not expect was that Rick, who got hold of the news that he had returned on the day itself, went looking for him in his company in the afternoon.
“Lu, it sure isn’t easy to meet you.”
Lu Jingye looked at Rick seated opposite him who had a smile on his face. He thought of the fact that as soon as he and Yiyi left the capital, this person brought Aisha to the capital. Moreover, they were staying at his grandfather’s place. He guessed what his objective was and the way he spoke had unconsciously sounded alienated and polite.
“I remember you are UP Group’s CEO, when is UP Group so idle that it could allow you to make your way over to the capital so frequently.”
Rick did not get angry at his words that sounded sarcastic. Instead, he spread out his hands and shrugged his shoulders. “Oh well, what can I do? The princess in my family wishes to visit the capital and even if I am the CEO of UP Group, I still have to put down everything and accompany her. Aisha is a pure and simple girl who cries easily. I have to make sure that no one bullies her.”
Lu Jingye nodded his head and was about to change the topic due to disinterest.
However, Rick came here today for his sister and he would not allow Lu Jingye to change the topic.
“Aisha fell in love with you at first sight when she saw you at the age of fifteen. You’ve not had a girlfriend for so many years and Aisha has also grown up. Do you want to consider her?”
Lu Jingye’s expression was slightly strained and he said, “I already have a girlfriend.”
“I know.” Rick had an expression as if he had known of this ages ago. “So what? A girlfriend is just a girlfriend. I asked you to consider Aisha on the premise of marriage with her.”
Lu Jingye’s gaze turned cold and he frankly said, “My girlfriend and I are dating on the premise of marriage.”
Rick was unhappy to hear that. He looked at Lu Jingye’s face that could cause all the women in this world to fall for him and traces of sarcasm could be heard in his voice.
“Do you think that you and Miss Zi can get married? Why did I hear that the marriage within the Lu Family must be approved by Elder Lu first?”
Lu Jingye’s expression slightly changed and he gently tapped on the desk twice as he slowly asked, “Is Mr. Rick trying to threaten me now?”
Rick saw Lu Jingye’s unchanged expression and knew that he was angry. He then revealed a smile and shrugged his shoulders. “If you wish to think of it this way, I can’t help it? But there’s another important thing I wish to talk to you about today. I believe you will definitely reconsider it after I tell you about it.”
Speaking of this, he put both hands on the desk while he leaned forward. “I heard that your younger brother died from brain death and yet, you’re still keeping it a secret. Why is that so?”
A murderous killing aura instantly exploded from Lu Jingye and he asked, “Who told you my brother is brain dead?”
Rick was shocked by Lu Jingye’s killing aura, but at the thought of his younger sister, he also gave off a strong aura and opposed him.
“If your younger brother isn’t brain dead, why didn’t he show up during Elder Lu’s birthday the previous time? You can deny it, or would you like for Elder Lu to personally question you when the time comes?”
