Their honeymoon was in Sweden.
Jiang Yining had heard that Lu Zhi’s mother, Shen Man, lived there.
She wanted to improve the relationship between the mother and son, so she deliberately chose this place.
Lu Zhi guessed her intention but agreed with her. After all, a honeymoon only happens once, and he didn’t want her to leave with any regrets.
The next morning, they boarded a plane and set off.
By the time they arrived in Sweden, it was already evening. The Lu family’s contact in Sweden, a manager from their local branch, directly took them to a castle.
For dinner, they enjoyed local cuisine. Afterward, Jiang Yining and Lu Zhi took a stroll outside.
On their way back, Jiang Yining felt exhausted, and she dozed off in the car.
Lu Zhi gazed at her peaceful face and couldn’t help but smile. He gently rested her head on his shoulder.
As they reached the castle and were about to retire for the night, they were stopped by a person coming towards them.
“Young Master Ah Zhi, your grandfather wishes to see you.”
The person was none other than the housekeeper of the Manchester family, Levine. Shen Man was originally not sumamed Shen, she adopted the Shen surname to assimilate into China.
Her family was the renowned House of Manchester in Sweden.
Her father was the Duke of Manchester, in charge of the country’s entire oil and power industry. Her mother was the daughter of Princess Elsa and had brought nearly fifty billion pounds as a dowry when she married the Duke. Her elder brother was the Earl of Manchester and served as Sweden’s Finance Minister, married to the Prime Minister’s niece. Her younger sister founded a luxury brand and married a top French tycoon.
With such an illustrious family background, it was no wonder they looked down on the Lu family. They’d rather disown Shen Man, forcing her to leave the Lu family.
Even though the Manchester family didn’t acknowledge Shen Man as their daughter, they wanted to bring back Lu Zhi as their grandson. As the Manchester family currently lacked male descendants, with only two granddaughters, they couldn’t inherit the titles according to current laws. They wanted to bring Lu Zhi and Lu Beicheng back to inherit the family’s titles.
However, Lu Beicheng had gone missing and was untraceable. Hence, for the past two years, they had been trying to get closer to Lu Zhi.
As soon as they heard he had arrived in Sweden, they sent someone over.
Lu Zhi held no positive feelings toward this grandfather, so he coldly stated, “I have only one grandfather, and he’s in China now. Please tell them to go away. I will never have any connection with the Manchester family in this lifetime.” “Young Master, why argue with your own grandfather? If you return to the House of Manchester, you’ll inherit a massive fortune. Your status and power are incomparable to what you have in the Lu family.” Levine, who looked down on the Lu family, struggled to understand Lu Zhi’s and Shen Man’s choices. He tried to persuade him earnestly.
“Escort our guest.”
Lu Zhi didn’t want to waste any more words on him and directly ordered the person to send him away.
The castle’s staff approached politely, asking Levine to leave.
Levine had no choice and departed morosely.
Lu Zhi carried Jiang Yining back to their bedroom. He gently placed her on the bed, ready to let go. However, Jiang Yining playfully bit his hand and put it near her mouth, even giving it a couple of soft nibbles. She seemed to be enjoying some delicious treat in her dream, and she giggled in a dazed manner.
Lu Zhi’s slightly vexed mood suddenly improved a lot. He caressed Jiang Yining’s lips and with a husky, low voice, he said, “Jiang Yining, you arc destined to be mine.”
Every time he faced an unhappy situation, she always had an invisible way of dispelling it. They were a pair destined by fate.
Lu Zhi caressed her lips for a moment, then leaned down to kiss her greedily. An ambiguous atmosphere filled the air…
Just as he was about to lose control, Jiang Yining made a discontented sound, expressing her discomfort. Lu Zhi restrained himself, supporting his arms above her and said, “I’ll let you off this time, but I’ll make you pay double in the future.”
With that, he returned to his own bedroom and took a shower.
The next day, Jiang Yining woke up and looked at her slightly swollen lips in the mirror, feeling somewhat puzzled. She took some medication she had prepared and applied it to her lips.
Then, she walked out of the bedroom to the castle’s dining room, where Lu Zhi was having breakfast. She complained, “It’s all because the food last night was terrible, and I didn’t eat enough. I was dreaming about food and it was so delicious. I even dreamt about a big dog that came out of nowhere and wanted to steal my food. As a result…”
Jiang Yining pointed at her mouth and said, “Look, it bit my lips. I’m sure it was because I was angry at the dog in my dream, and I unconsciously bit my lips and made them swell..”
