Zi Yi tumed to look at him and said eloquently, “This is an individual hot spring in the courtyard and there are only the two of us here. Why is there the need to wear a swimsuit?”

Lu Jingye knitted his eyebrows. “This is an open-air hot spring.”

Even though no one here could see them, as long as it was somewhere outdoors, Lu Jingye would feel that her body was exposed.

Zi Yi wrapped her arms around his neck and stood on tiptoe to give him a kiss on the lips.

“There’s no one here to see us.”

Having said that, she turned around and jumped into the hot springs.

A splashing sound could be heard and water splattered in all directions.

‘The moment Zi Yi jumped into the hot springs, her wet long hair clung to her fair cheeks and shoulders.

The water in the pool was giving off wisps of steam and soon, it had caused her face and upper body to turn a flushed red.

Under the illumination of the night’s moonlight, her appearance was similar to a soul-devouring enchantress.

At that moment, she even looked at him with that pair of charming and glimmering eyes as she waved. “Ah Jing, hurry up and come down.”

‘The water around her rippled, and it was as if the ripples had spread to his heart.

Lu Jingye removed his bathrobe and entered the hot springs while wearing swimming trunks.

He did not head to where she was but instead, sat on the steps, leaned his back against the walls of the pool, and spread out his arms.

‘When Zi Yi saw that he had sat down, she swam over to his side. She then hugged his waist, sat next to him, and leaned her head on his shoulders.

Lu Jingye moved her long wisps of hair plastered on her cheeks to the side and said, “We can only soak in the hot springs for half an hour maximum. Otherwise you will start feeling uncomfortable.”

Zi Yi narrowed her eyes and started drawing patterns on his chest. Upon hearing what he said, she casually responded with an ‘ok’.

Lu Jingye could not take how her fingers were moving around his chest and he grabbed her hand. His voice had also unconsciously become hoarse. “Not long after we left, my Third Uncle came looking for me.”

“Pft!” Zi Yi made a guess. “Mom must have chased him away and perhaps he went looking for Lu Zhiheng.”

Speaking of this, Zi Yi looked up at him. “Why don’t we find some things for Lu Zhiheng to do?”

“There’s no need.”

Lu Jingye looked at the little enchantress in his arms and could not restrain himself as he lowered his head to kiss her on the lips. “His body has been overworked and as expected, he will collapse very soon.”

Zi Yi laughed without the slightest hint of sympathy after hearing of Lu Zhiheng’s current condition. She then tured her body around and sat on his legs.

Lu Jingye took a deep breath and breathed in her ear as he threatened. “Naughty girl, you don’t want to soak in the hot springs any longer?”

Zi Yi hugged his neck and sent herself into his embrace.

“It’s the same if we come back later.”

Following that, she tilted her head and their lips pressed against each other.

As for whether Zi Yi had soaked in the hot springs at a later time or not, even she herself was unsure.

On the other side.

It was as Lu Jingye had guessed.

Just before dawn, Lu Zhiheng only managed to get two hours of sleep before he suddenly woke up again.

Yang Yuelan, who was sleeping next to him was startled by his sudden movements and she propped herself up before she asked, “Zhiheng, what are you doing?”

Lu Zhiheng quickly climbed out of bed to get dressed. “I need to go to the office.”

Yang Yuelan followed suit and wore her clothes. “Didn’t you just come home three hours ago? Don’t you want to sleep for a few more hours? Otherwise, how can your body possibly take it?”

“What’s sleep? It’s going to be the annual summary soon and I have to host an international conference.”

Yang Yuelan suddenly felt that her husband was very capable and she said, “I prepared some ginseng soup for you last night. I’ll scoop out one bow! for you, drink it before you leave and I’ll pack the rest into a thermal flask for you to bring to the office.”

Lu Zhiheng casually gave her a response and got out of bed as he headed to the washroom.

Yang Yuelan put on her slippers and walked to the door.

However, just as she reached the door and had yet to open it, she suddenly heard a sudden loud knocking sound from the washroom.

Yang Yuelan felt her heart skip a beat and she hastily tuned to run towards the washroom.

‘When she saw Lu Zhiheng lying on the ground with blood on his head, her pupils contracted in fear and she immediately released a scream.

“AR”

Everyone within the Lu Family’s main residence quickly rushed over after hearing Yang Yuelan’s scream.

For a moment, the main residence fell into chaos.

There were those that cried and wailed loudly, and there were those who called for the doctor.

This news had soon spread to Patriarch Lu.

By the time he arrived, their family doctor had already given Lu Zhiheng a diagnosis.

“Doctor Zhang, how is Zhiheng?” The First Madam clenched her hand tightly and her expression looked so pale as if she would faint the very next second.

Doctor Zhang’s expression looked very heavy. “I suggest that you had better send him to the hospital. He has overworked his body for a prolonged period of time and his irregular diet has led to arrhythmia and a myocardial infarction. Besides this, it should have also resulted in other conditions and it’s

best to send him to the hospital for a detailed examination.”

‘As soon as Doctor Zhang gave his diagnosis, the First Madam’s body shook and she nearly fainted.

It was Yang Yuelan’s loud cries that pulled her back to her senses.

‘The First Madam had also burst into tears and she started crying along with her.

“Oh my heavens~”

‘When the Eldest Master and Patriarch Lu heard their cries, both their expressions were ugly.

Patriarch Lu felt annoyed when he heard the First Madam and Yang Yuelan crying and he shouted, “Shut up.”

The First Madam and Yang Yuelan immediately shut their mouths out of fear.

Patriarch Lu said with a solemn expression, “Quickly send Zhiheng to the hospital.”

Just then, the Third Madam asked, “Father, now that Zhiheng is hospitalized, what about the company? Who will take care of it?”

Patriarch Lu’s expression instantly darkened and he was about to turn to look at his eldest son.

How could a son not know his father’s train of thoughts? He got his wife and Yang Yuelan to lift up Lu Zhiheng onto his back before he then ran outside. 1

Patriarch Lu’s words were stuck in his throat and his expression darkened even further.

He loudly called out. “Housekeeper.”

The housekeeper immediately came to him. “Yes, Patriarch Lu.”

“Get ready, I’ll head over to the company shortly.”

“Tunderstand.”

The housekeeper immediately left to make preparations.

The Lu Group suddenly received news that Patriarch Lu was about to pay a visit and all of them subconsciously got nervous.

Patriarch Lu would visit the company once every year and it would usually be the last day of the annual summary report. He would only have to sit there and listen to their presentations.

Even so, everyone still had lingering fear towards the domineering aura he radiated.

Now that he was making a trip to the company all of a sudden, everyone subconsciously thought that there must be upcoming trouble.

Sure enough, as soon as Patriarch Lu arrived at the company, he had called for all the executives to gather into the meeting room.

Patriarch Lu who radiated a domineering aura sat on the main seat. Even if he had not spoken a single word, those eagle-like, sharp eyes of his had caused everyone to stop breathing and dare not even breathe out.

Patriarch Lu said with a deep voice, “Who shall explain and summarize the recent situation in the company?”

Everyone was holding their breaths and no one dared to be the first to step forward.

Patriarch Lu’s expression turned stern. “Didn’t you hear what I just said?!”

Everyone’s bodies shivered and in the end, their gaze turned to the Chief Financial Officer.

Patriarch Lu turned his attention towards his direction.

A layer of cold sweat emerged on his forehead in an instant. He then spoke with a trembling voice. “Ever since the Eldest Young Master has taken over the company, the finances of the company have been in a deficit.”
