As the two of them were leaving, there was no need for the others to stay behind.
Fu Niao, in particular, kept trailing beside Mei Shu, seizing every opportunity to showcase her beauty in front of Lu Si.
Even if she was treated as if she were invisible, she worked even harder to please him.
Mei Shu was well aware of her intentions and deliberately lagged behind, suddenly turning the two people who had originally been walking apart into walking side by side.
Lu Si, who had been walking just fine, suddenly stopped in his tracks, and with an annoyed expression, he turned to glare at her. “Why did you stop?”
Fu Niao also cast a puzzled look at Mei Shu, but deep down, she cursed Mei Shu for being so scheming.
She was certain that Mei Shu had intentionally created this situation to redirect Master Si’s attention towards her!
Mei Shu had no idea what was going on in Fu Niao’s mind and racked her brain for what she thought was a perfect excuse. “I… I suddenly twisted my ankle! 1 can walk slowly; you go ahead.”
“Is that so?” Lu Si’s eyes glinted, and he stared at her for a dangerous moment before, to Fu Niao’s disbelief, he suddenly lowered his body and carried Mei Shu in his arms.
“All Si! What are you doing? Put me down!” Mei Shu exclaimed, panic-stricken, as she glanced at Fu Niao and struggled to break free from his embrace.
However, Lu Si’s strength was incredible, and his iron arms firmly imprisoned Mei Shu in his embrace, making it impossible for her to move.
Mei Shu was stunned.
In the eyes of others, this might be a normal occurrence, but she knew she possessed the skill of superhuman strength.
It was surprising that even with her extraordinary abilities, she couldn’t escape Lu Si’s grasp. This suggested that his strength was far from ordinary, despite his casual demeanor.
She couldn’t help but wonder if his excuse for not leaving her room that night, claiming the third floor was difficult to leave at midnight, was just a convenient excuse for him to avoid exerting himself.
However, Mei Shu decided to let it slide for now, considering that he had paid for her room. She didn’t want to confront him about it at the moment.
But she was determined not to let him take advantage of her like this again in the future.
“I’m not putting you down, how’s that?” Lu Si, unperturbed, continued to carry her and walked towards the exit.
Lu Yan had no idea that Mei Shu had come to the Lu family’s house tonight. He was in the front hall, receiving Lin Chen along with his father. Lu’s wife couldn’t be bothered to entertain Lin Chen and was taking a solitary walk in the garden.
Sudden footsteps caught her attention, and she suspected it might be Lu Si. She was about to turn her head and greet him when she was taken aback by what she saw – Lu Si was carrying a girl in his arms.
Mei Shu?
How was that possible?
Qin Qin’s shocked gaze shifted between the two of them.
Lu Si lifted Mei Shu up a bit and his eyes narrowed slightly, adding a touch of authority, “Sister-in-law.”
“All Si?” Startled by his unmistakably displeased tone, Qin Qin was taken aback. “Why are you with All Yan’s classmate at this late hour?”
“I brought her here,” Lu Si replied, uninterested in providing further explanations.
However, Qin Qin didn’t want to let go of this opportunity. She immediately sent the butler to fetch Lu Yan from the villa.
She had never intended to let Mei Shu and Lu Yan further their relationship, and now, seeing that Mei Shu was somehow involved with her brother-in-law, it only strengthened her determination to put an end to her son’s infatuation.
Lu Yan, confused, was hastily brought out of the villa by the butler. “Mom, what’s going on?”
Just as he finished speaking, he noticed the group standing under the streetlights.
He recognized S and F, and the other girl was probably Lin Chen’s niece, Fu Niao.
But his younger uncle was standing there with a girl in his arms… Mei Shu?
“Is that really you?” Lu Yan’s eyes widened in astonishment, his level of surprise rivaling that of the others.
Had Mei Shu’s relationship with his younger uncle already reached this point?
Feeling embarrassed under the scrutiny of everyone, Mei Shu lowered her voice and whispered to Lu Si, “You should put me down. I can walk on my own.”
“Why? Didn’t you say you twisted your ankle?” Lu Si smirked, using her own words to silence her.
Mei Shu was rendered speechless, pursing her lips with embarrassment. “Is it necessary to keep carrying me like this?”
Lu Si raised an eyebrow and smiled confidently. “Is there a problem with that? If you say one more word, i’ll carry you for a bit longer. If you behave yourself, I’ll take you to my car now.”
“Alright, I won’t say anything.” Blushing as she was carried in Lu Si’s arms, Mei Shu couldn’t wait to bury her face in his chest.
Satisfied with her response, Lu Si didn’t say anything more to her and carried her to the waiting car.
Jiang He understood Master Si’s intentions perfectly. He opened the rear door of the car and, after both of them had seated themselves, he found a place to stand aside, not wanting to disturb Master Si and Miss Mei’s conversation.
Finally, there were only the two of them in the car.
With no one else around to interfere, Lu Si asked directly, “Why did you want me to get close to Fu Niao?”
Mei Shu hesitated for a moment before finally admitting, “She likes you.. Can’t you see that?”
