Chapter 158: Lu Jingye, I’m Suddenly Somewhat Fond of Your Old-Fashionedness
Zi Yi discovered Lu Jingye’s car parked in the courtyard when she went back.
She parked her car and headed towards the villa in large strides.
The moment she arrived at the gate, she heard the housekeeper talking to Lu Jingye. “Second Young Master, Miss Zi went to her villa early in the morning and she should be making her way here very soon.”
Lu Jingye hummed in response.
When Zi Yi walked in, she saw Lu Jingye walking upstairs.
Lu Jingye and the housekeeper looked in her direction when they heard the sound of her footsteps.
Zi Yi walked to him, then smiled and asked, “Lu Jingye, I thought you said you would be staying elsewhere these few days? Why are you here today… Don’t tell me you miss me?”
The housekeeper tactfully left them alone.
Lu Jingye stared at the young lady’s sparkling eyes and said in a low voice, “I’m leaving the capital for a few days. I came to pack some belongings.”
“Oh…” Zi Yi was somewhat disappointed as she turned around and headed for the sofa.
Lu Jingye looked at her and suddenly said, “You didn’t sleep until 3 a.m in the morning. What happened to our previous promise?”
Zi Yi immediately recovered from her disappointment and stared at him. “Mr. Busybody, you know of my movements even when you’re so far away. I’m seriously doubting that you aren’t constantly paying attention to me.”
Lu Jingye unexpectedly pursed his lips as he remained silent.
Zi Yi was delighted. She walked closer, tiptoed, and kissed him on the cheek. After the kiss, she placed her hand near his heart.
Feeling the strong heartbeat, Zi Yi smiled like a flower.
“Lu Jingye, I’m suddenly somewhat fond of your old-fashionedness.”
She went to the sofa after that.
Lu Jingye looked at the young lady playing with her phone on the sofa and moved his left hand. However, before he managed to place it against his chest, he restrained himself, turned around, and went upstairs.
Lu Jingye left after he packed his belongings. Zi Yi sent him to the gates and pulled his hand. “Lu Jingye, you must think of me when you’re outside.”
Lu Jingye looked at the young lady’s white and tender hands. His eyes darkened but did not pull out his hand.
He responded with a hum and touched her head with his hand. “Don’t sleep too late.”
“Alright, Mr. Busybody.”
Zi Yi waved at him before she headed back to the villa.
The moment Lu Jingye’s car left, he dialed a string of numbers. “Monitor the Ouyang family. If they dare to cause trouble for her, take care of them.”
Zi Yi originally planned to purchase the items she needed. However, she received a call from Dou Xiangling in the afternoon.
Dou Xiangling planned to open a painting exhibition and was in the midst of preparation. She asked Zi Yi if she wanted to come and play with her.
On the phone, she also said, “I know many seniors and I will be asking for one or two paintings from them. If you’re available, do join me.”
In fact, Zi Yi was rather fond of paintings on ancient Earth. Therefore, she had agreed to join her.
The both of them arranged to meet at the
She stood to the side and listened.
The boss’ tone was apologetic. “Miss Dou, I’m really sorry. We are unable to replicate the type of scenes you want. If you insist on such effects, I can only use paint as a replacement.
“It won’t do, it would appear too protruding. My current theme is based on landscapes, flowers, and birds and I want the feeling of being in nature. Similar to opening an exhibition between heaven and earth.
“I’m sorry, we really can’t achieve such effects here.”
Zi Yi stopped listening and walked inside.
“Cousin.”
“Yiyi, you’re here. You can take a look around here first while I discuss something with the owner.”
“Ok.”
Just as Zi Yi headed inside the gallery, another man walked in from outside.
