Chapter 444: Goodnight Kiss
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Everyone from high society knows that the most outstanding men were from the third generation of the Lu Family, Lu Jingye and Lu Yunxiao. One of them was a genius in the business world and the other one held the reins of the secret force that kept others from acting presumptuously towards the Lu Family.
Among the two of them, no matter who it was, the only way Patriarch Lu would drive them towards a dead-end was if he had a screw loose in his head.
Moreover, Lu Jingye was someone who was extremely calm and introverted. Therefore, they never expected him to say this to them.
In reality, the Dou Family merely wanted to know Lu Jingye’s attitude in this matter.
Since he had already stated his standpoint, they were relieved.
“The Lu Family dinner banquet…”
“You can choose to attend or not to attend. But the dinner banquet would most probably be only held halfway.”
All of them looked at him with a confused gaze.
Lu Jingye did not explain himself further and merely said, “Something might happen then and it is alright if you wish to attend. My Mother will look after you well if you choose to come.”
The Dou Family looked at Zi Yi.
Lu Jingye had also turned towards her. “Yiyi, are you going?”
Zi Yi thought for a moment and nodded. “Sure, I’d like to go and take a look.”
Since Patriarch Lu wanted to meet her, she also had the same thoughts of wanting to meet him.
Zi Yi did not say her thoughts out loud and merely looked at him.
Lu Jingye tightened his grip on her hands.
The Lu Family members could not help but sigh as they saw the interaction between them.
This niece and cousin of theirs was unexpectedly dating Second Young Master Lu!
Dou Jingning said, “Little Zi likes you and so, we won’t make things difficult for you. But you had better remember the words you said today. If you were to let her down one day or cause her to suffer grievances, even if we have to sacrifice the entire Dou Family, we will not let you off.”
Lu Jingye said in guarantee, “There
will not be such a day.”
…
When Lu Jingye and Zi Yi came out from the Dou Family residence, it was already 11 p.m at night.
The Dou Family wanted to send her back, but she rejected their offer.
After they got in the car, Lu Jingye pulled Zi Yi into his embrace and said, “No matter if my grandfather approves of us or not, the person I love is you. The person I want to marry is you. Don’t let your thoughts wander.”
“Okay.” Zi Yi was not the type of person who let her thoughts wander. She leaned her face on his chest and said, “If your grandfather doesn’t approve of us, I’ll just snatch you away and you can be my husband then.”
Lu Jingye looked at her ‘fierce’ expression and the corner of his lips unconsciously curled up. “Sure.”
He lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
After returning home, Zi Yi first connected with Elder Hu through a video call to discuss Lu Yunxiao’s condition.
After discussing his condition Elder Hu asked, “Someone took away a slight portion of all the medicinal ingredients today. This was done under your orders?”
Zi Yi nodded her head. “I want to try and cultivate these medicinal ingredients.”
“Good, good.” Elder Hu approved of her doing this. “Originally, I also wanted to try cultivating them, but I’ve never managed to succeed. It’s good that you are giving it a try.”
“Yes.”
After they chatted for a while more, Zi Yi changed the screen to Lu Yunxiao’s ward.
Zi Yi zoomed in on Lu Yunxiao and pointed at his body. “Ah Jing, look. The condition of your brother’s skin looks healthier!”
Lu Jingye looked at the video and said in joy, “Send a short clip to my phone and I’ll show it to my mother tomorrow.”
“Alright.”
After they finished checking up on Lu Yunxiao, Zi Yi was about to head down to the underground lab.
Lu Jingye followed behind her and asked, “It’s very late right now. What are you trying to do?”
“The materials I asked for have arrived today and I’m heading over to take a look. I’ll make two virtual computers some time soon.”
“Virtual computer?”
“Yep. It’s just using special materials to make a nail-sized CPU chip. When the time comes, I’ll put the chip into our watches or a small trinket. Whenever we wish to access it, a 6D projection will appear before our eyes and so in the future there will be no need to bring around a laptop or notebook along with you.”
“Can the virtual screen be operated?”
“It can. I will input instructions when creating it. I will make one for each of his and we’ll be able to operate it as long as we are the ones who activate it.”
Lu Jingye tried to imagine the virtual computer and it was impossible to not be shocked by it.
Soon, they made their way to one of the machinery manufacturing rooms in the basement.
Zi Yi went over to unpack the sealed packages.
As Lu Jingye looked at each of the apparatuses that he had never seen before in his life, he asked, “These parts are all manufactured by your energy company?”
“Yep. The materials aren’t sufficient right now. When there are more supplies in the future, we can even push this type of virtual computer into the market.”
Lu Jingye stood there and pondered for a while before he said, “This matter can be put aside for later.”
Zi Yi had the same thoughts.
After she took out the apparatus and materials, she started to move her hands.
Lu Jingye stood by the side and asked, “What can I help you with?”
“You can help me with…”
The two of them continued working until 2 a.m in the morning, before they finally returned to their rooms to sleep.
After lying down on the bed, Lu Jingye looked at the young lady clutching onto his clothes with her tired eyes and stroked her head. “You can push aside anything you intend to do when it’s late, to the next day. Don’t stay up so late in the future.”
Zi Yi squinted her eyes and said, “I wish to create them as soon as possible. I have to write two papers tomorrow and it just so happens that I can write about this.”
Having said that, she lifted her expectant eyes at him, not forgetting to blink. “Ah Jing, I want a goodnight kiss.”
Lu Jingye chuckled and happily lowered his head and kissed her lips.
Their lips fit together perfectly.
It was not until both of them were short of breath that Lu Jingye let go of her and breathed heavily near her ears. “Goodnight, babe.”
Zi Yi closed her eyes and said, “Ah Jing, goodnight.”
When Zi Yi went to school the next day, her car was blocked by a group of students as soon as she arrived.
All of them had confusion and surprise on their faces.
“Student Zi, didn’t you mention that you were going to run for the External Relations Department’s officer position? Why didn’t you sign up?”
“Did you forget?”
Everyone assumed that she would sign up before 8 p.m and even the network of M.Uni’s Student Union website had been purposefully stalled. However, all of them continued waiting and looked on helplessly as the cut-off time arrived. In the end, Zi Yi’s name did not once appear on the list.
All of them were stunned.
In the end, it resulted in the current situation where they blocked her car early in the morning.
Zi Yi looked at the group of students surrounding her car, and made a gesture for them to stop talking. When they were finally silent, she asked, “I’m sure you still remember the words I said back then?”
Everyone tried recalling the situation and only then did they realize that Zi Yi had never once mentioned that she would be running for the officer position of the External Relations Department.
On the other hand, she asked them a question, “Do you think after choosing so many majors, I would have spare time to assume the officer position of the External Relations Department?”
It had to be known that the External Relations Department was one of the busiest departments, as they had to go and forge connections and pull in sponsorships.
She then motioned for the people blocking her car in front of her and said, “I’m heading to class, the students in front, please make way.”
Zi Yi’s whole day was fully packed with lessons (Zi Yi’s lesson timetable was uploaded on the school forum) and thinking of that, everyone was suddenly speechless.
Those people subconsciously got out of her way.
Zi Yi originally thought that these people would upload what she said onto the school forum. Hopefully in that case, no one else would come looking for her.
Unexpectedly, just as she parked her car and had yet to alight, Chen Yuying strode towards her angrily.
Behind her was Murong You and Chu Xiang.
These two had clearly come to watch the drama.
