Lu Jingye was not the type who liked to take advantage of petty gains. After hearing the price offered by Mr. Chen, he said, “Mr. Chen, you can head over to the East side of Country J in the coming days to purchase some land. Before you head over, do meet up with our embassy that is situated over there.
It’ll be easier to get the rights of land usage that way.”
“Really?” Mr. Chen’s face flushed with excitement in an instant. He hastily stood up and held out his hands towards Lu Jingye. “Second Young Master, thank you so much for your advice.”
However, Lu Jingye did not stretch out his hand and he merely said, “There are regulations there and you had better check them out first before heading over.”
“Yes, yes, I’ll go back and get my staff to make preparations right away.”
Mr. Chen withdrew his hand naturally and said to Zi Yi and Dou Xiangling, “Miss Zi, Miss Dou, my apologies that I am unable to go through the formalities with you personally. I will send someone over shortly and there’s no need to pay for the space you take a fancy to. I’ll transfer the rights of the space
to Miss Zi directly.”
Having said that, he turned around and jogged to round up the bill before he left.
Looking at Mr. Chen who soon walked out of the cafe, Dou Xiangling was still a little confused.
“Yiyi, did Mr. Chen mean that he’ll be giving the space to you?”
Zi Yi responded with a ‘yes’. She then glanced at Lu Jingye and said, “I feel that Ah Jing just suffered a loss.”
Lu Jingye’s hand that was under the table grasped onto hers. “As long as it’s something you need, it’s not a loss.”
Zi Yi was happy to hear his words and even gave him a kiss on the corner of his lips without any forewarning.
Lu Jingye’s expression stiffened for a few seconds. Under the gazes of many around them, he only recovered his senses two seconds later and lectured her with a stiff expression. “Don’t be naughty.”
Zi Yi’s eyes curved into crescent moons. Her old-fashioned husband must be having a hard time trying to get over this hurdle of some public display of affection.
Dou Xiangling who was seated next to them did not know whether to laugh or cry as she looked at them, At the same time, she felt sympathy for Lu Jingye. Her cousin was too enthusiastic and there would be more things for him to suffer through in the future.
Since the problem of the gallery space was resolved, Lu Jingye said to Zi Yi, “Mr. Chen’s staff will handle the procedures of transferring the deed over. You can go back to school now and attend lessons.”
He then turned to Dou Xiangling.
Dou Xiangling said, “I don’t have lessons in the afternoon. I can help Yiyi to oversee the transfer of the deed in her place.”
“Thank you.” Lu Jingye said, “Il get someone to deliver Yiyi’s household register book shortly.”
Zi Yi indeed had something on in the afternoon and so, she stood up with Lu Jingye and they took their leave.
Dou Xiangling and Zhang Hanyu had also stood up together.
Zi Yi said, “Cousin, after helping oversee the transfer of the deed, you can go check out the place. You shall decide on the interior renovation. I don’t feel like meddling in that.”
Dou Xiangling said with a smile, “I knew it! You’re thinking of lazing off! When the time comes, I’ll personally design the gallery decorations and I’ll show you the design drawings after I’m done with it.”
Zi Yi nodded her head. “Okay.”
Having said that, she left with Lu Jingye.
Looking at the car driving away, Dou Xiangling turned to look at Zhang Hanyu. “Hanyu, don’t you have lessons on in the afternoon? You should go back first.”
“Tl accompany you in the afternoon. There must be tons of procedures to go through, I’ll be responsible for running errands for you.”
Speaking of this, he added and said, “What’s more, I’m worried about you heading to X Road alone.”
“What’s there to be worried about?” Dou Xiangling’s cheeks were slightly red.
Zhang Hanyu looked at her face and stretched out his hand to move some wayward strands of hair behind her ears. His cool fingers brushed against her cheeks and her face turned redder.
Looking at her current appearance, he could not help but have the urge to kiss her.
‘When his face approached hers, Dou Xiangling’s heart stiffened for a second and she subconsciously took a step back.
Slight traces of sadness flashed past Zhang Hanyu’s eyes.
“L…” Dou Xiangling wanted to explain, but she did not know how and what to say. In the end, she said, “I’m sorry.”
She had never been in romantic, close contact with the opposite sex and she was startled by Zhang Hanyu’s actions.
Zhang Hanyu’s eyes dimmed slightly and a few seconds later, he moved back in a natural manner and grabbed her hand.
“It doesn’t matter. I’ve said that I will wait for you to accept me. I was too impatient.”
Dou Xiangling pursed her lips tightly.
They walked side by side with each other as they headed to the car. Zhang Hanyu suddenly said, “My abilities are lacking compared to your cousin’s boyfriend and my personal capability is also lacking. You
“What are you talking about?” Dou Xiangling interrupted him with a displeased expression. “Why do you have to compare yourself to Little Lu? You and him and separate people.”
Zhang Hanyu looked at her expression for several seconds before he nodded and changed the topic.
After Lu Jingye and Zi Yi got in the car, Zi Yi leaned her head on Lu Jingye’s shoulders and took out her phone as she started swiping.
Lu Jingye said, “I called your Eldest Uncle in the morning and told him what my Grandfather said.”
As soon as Zi Yi heard that, she hastily looked up and asked, “What did my Eldest Uncle say?”
“He told us to make a trip over in the evening.”
There was no need for her to think to know that her Uncles will definitely be angry.
Lu Jingye grabbed her hand and said, “Yiyi, I can’t change my Grandfather’s mindset for the time being, but I will not make you suffer in the slightest. If your Uncles really get angry, I will cooperate with whatever their requests are.”
Zi Yi used her other hand to touch his face. “My Uncles won’t make things difficult for you. You’ve already done a good job.”
Patriarch Lu was his Grandfather and he definitely would not deal with his Grandfather like how he dealt with other people. Otherwise, it could be considered unfilial.
Other than this matter, he had not made her suffer in any other aspects.
“If you can’t change his mindset, so be it. In any case, we have many others who like us and we don’t lack his affection.”
Zi Yi lowered her hand and leaned on his shoulders once again.
“Since we are heading to my Grandfather’s place in the evening, I won’t be returning to school in the afternoon. I’ll go back home to make robots instead.”
Speaking of this, she suddenly thought of Little Loli whom she had sent to chase down Rick. She then took out her phone and connected to her.
She got a look at the surrounding environment through Little Loli’s eyes and she was a little surprised. “Little Loli, why are you in the mountains?”
Little Loli said with a tone of grievance, “Rick is here. This is the territory of an influential person and there’s a magnetic field in the central area that can disrupt my radar. Right now, I can only watch from afar.”
Zi Yi was silent for a moment before she said, “I more or less know what magnetic field it is. Continue waiting there first. I’ll make a robot that can shield you from the magnetic field and it’ll track down Rick together with you.”
Little Loli was elated. “Okay!”
They conversed for a while more and Zi Yi then ended the phone call.
Lu Jingye asked, “Yiyi, you know what kind of magnetic field it is?”
“Yes, it is a type of…”
Zi Yi explained to him. “This type of material is usually from extraterrestrial meteorites. With the current technological advancement of the ancient Earth, it’s unexpected that someone had managed to extract it and used it to block radars from working. It seems like the influential person has talents in
this field.”
Lu Jingye lowered his eyes and thought for a moment and made a guess. “It is possible that the influential figure is related to Yunxiao’s brain dead condition..”
