Jiang Yining was having a sweet dream when she suddenly felt her body sink.
Then, the earth shook.
She suddenly woke up from her dream. When she opened her eyes, she met Lu Zhi’s dark and gloomy eyes. Instantly, alarm bells rang in her head.
“What do you want to do to me?”
“I should be the one asking you that.”
Lu Zhi’s gaze was fixed on her.
Jiang Yining felt that something was wrong.
Why was their posture so strange?
She was on top, and he was below…
After pausing for a few seconds, she turned her neck mechanically and observed the situation.
In the end, she realized that she had rolled down from the bed and hugged Lu Zhi tightly like a koala bear.
Moreover, she seemed to be drooling.
The evidence was that there was a small glistening liquid on his naked chest under his half-opened pajamas.
Jiang Yining was speechless.
This must be a dream.
However, the cruel reality shattered her fantasy.
She blinked her eyes and secretly pinched herself. It was clear that this was true…
A few minutes later, Jiang Yining got up from Lu Zhi’s body. Without saying a word, she turned around and ran to the bathroom.
If she didn’t know how to face it, then she would run away!
Lu Zhi frowned and wiped the stain off his body with a wet tissue.
Then, he changed his clothes.
He poured himself a cup of coffee and stood by the window, thinking as he waited for Jiang Yining to come out.
He had thought that he would not be able to sleep soundly when he saw his mother yesterday.
However, he did not expect to sleep so well.
This was something that had never happened before.
The only explanation was that Jiang Yining was by his side.
Could it be that a doctor that had soaked in medicine for too long had medicinal effects?
Jiang Yining brushed her teeth and washed her face as quickly as possible. She secretly opened the door and observed the outside through the gap. When she realized that Lu Zhi was still there, her face turned hot.
Last night, she had unknowingly taken advantage of him.
With his personality, he definitely wouldn’t let it go.
It was better to run away before he settled the score.
Jiang Yining leaned against the wall and sneaked out.
Unexpectedly, when she was almost at the door, Lu Zhi said lightly, “Who did you learn French from? You sound like a native.”
“Uh… I learned it from my uncle.”
“Why haven’t I heard you mention him before?” Lu Zhi was very curious as to how many more skills she had yet to show.
This girl was like a treasure trove. She could always give people surprises.
“Well, my uncle is dead, so 1 don’t want to mention him to anyone else.” In any case, he was dead in her heart.
Lu Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly.
When she mentioned her uncle last night, it didn’t seem like he was dead at all.
“I’m hungry. 1’11 go first. Take your time to wash up. Don’t rush!” After Jiang Yining finished speaking, she ran away.
Lu Zhi did not stop her.
After breakfast, it was still early before class.
Jiang Yining strolled around the old residence of the Lu family.
Their house was very big, like a maze. There were carved beams and ornaments everywhere. It was exquisite and peerless. One look and one could tell that they were from a wealthy family.
No wonder so many people objected when she proposed to marry Lu Zhi.
If she were Lu Zhi, she would not marry a wild girl of unknown origins.
She was cursing in her heart.
A small pavilion appeared in front of her.
In the middle of the pavilion sat Lu Zhi’s mother, Shen Man.
Jiang Yining knew that the mother and son did not have a deep relationship. When she came to the Lu family last night, this mother-in-law almost did not speak to her. She was so cold as if she was a stranger.
How strange.
No matter how poor the relationship between mother and son in a wealthy family was, it shouldn’t be this distant.
However, she was not curious about this.
She only thought about how Shen Man was Lu Beicheng’s biological mother and how she had been living in the Lu family mansion.
She should know a lot about Lu Beicheng then.
It shouldn’t be a big deal for her to get close to her future mother-in-law, right?
With that thought in mind, Jiang Yining walked up to her with numb legs and smiled obediently. “Mother-in-law, you’re up so early.”
Shen Man’s hand that was pouring tea paused.
Mother-in-law?
What a strange title.
She looked up at the person in front of her, the indifference on her face unchanged.
“Didn’t All Zhi tell you that I’m a bad woman and you shouldn’t get close to me so easily?”
“What kind of son would slander his own mother like this? Mother-in-law, we are family. Don’t worry, I will treat you like my mother in the future.”
Jiang Yining said with a smile.
Shen Man’s fingertips caressed the celadon teacup and said, “I didn’t expect that someone with such a cold personality would find such a passionate girl like you to be his wife.”
What she didn’t expect was that he hadn’t told her how despicable she was as a mother..
