Lu Ning glanced at Lu Wu and easily pried his fingers apart.

Lu Wu's hands were trembling with pain. He looked at his hands in surprise, probably not expecting Lu Ning to be so strong.

When Lu Wu noticed Qin Xiang was beside him, he immediately felt embarrassed again.

He pointed at Lu Ning's nose and yelled, "Lu Ning, you think you're so great? If it weren't for you, would my legs be like this today? How dare you not give me face!"

Lu Ning scoffed, "I've always wanted to ask you, when you had your leg amputated, did you also remove your brain?"

She remembered that before her fifth brother had this accident, he was quite normal.

Lu Wu's face flushed with anger: "Lu Ning, my legs are like this because of you, and you still dare to mock me? I'll make sure my older brother teaches you a lesson."

Ji Chiqian stood beside Lu Ning: "Back then, your good older brother shirked responsibility and didn't answer the phone. It was Lu Ning who decisively saved your life. I never thought I would save an ungrateful wretch."

Lu Wu wouldn't listen to any of it; his miserable life began with the amputation of his leg.

Otherwise, he would have pursued Qin Xiang long ago.

Lu Ning took Ji Chiqian's hand and said, "Let's go, there's no need to waste time with this kind of person."

"Lu Ning, you stop right there! Don't you dare leave! Who gave you permission to go?"

Lu Wu was completely taken aback; he hadn't expected Lu Ning to show him no respect whatsoever.

In the past, out of guilt, Lu Ning would obediently comply with any of his requests.

Why does Lu Ning seem like a completely different person after all this time?

Lu Ning got into the car and left, only to see Lu Wu fall off her wheelchair, looking extremely disheveled.

Her gaze narrowed, but she ultimately didn't get off the bus.

If it were in the past, she would definitely be very worried, but in her previous life, when her second brother donated a kidney to Qin Xiang, it was Lu Wu who pushed her onto the operating table.

Seeing that Lu Ning didn't say anything, Ji Chiqian stepped on the gas and drove away.

Qin Xiang watched from the side and felt that Lu Wu's appearance lying on the ground was extremely embarrassing, and she wished she could turn around and leave.

But now even her eldest brother has a problem with her, so the only person she can rely on is her disabled fifth brother.

Qin Xiang could only endure her discomfort and run over to help Lu Wu up.

Lu Wu held Qin Xiang's hand tightly: "Xiangxiang, I promise you, you will be alright. I will protect my girlfriend."

A look of disgust flashed in Qin Xiang's eyes. Lu Wu, this worthless good-for-nothing, couldn't help her at all.

-

Lu Ning and Ji Chiqian left the pear garden together by car.

Her phone kept ringing, and the caller ID showed "Fifth Brother".

Lu Ning glanced at it and immediately blocked it.

After all, Fifth Brother Lu Wu was never home, and they didn't usually keep in touch.

Soon, a group message popped up.

Lu Wu tagged Lu Ning in the family group chat: "You actually dared to block my number, are you feeling guilty?"

"Lu Ning, my legs are like this because of you. I've already been merciful enough by not breaking your legs. How dare you disobey me?"

"Lu Ning, I know you can see, come out and say something!"

Lu Ning glanced at her phone and scoffed.

Ji Chiqian turned his head and glanced at her: "What's wrong?"

"The person who was stopped at the entrance of the pear orchard is now biting people in the group chat in a fit of rage."

Lu Ning showed no emotion whatsoever upon seeing these words.

Ji Chiqian frowned: "Are you going back to school or back to your apartment later?"

"Let's go back to the apartment!"

Lu Ning doesn't want to go back to the Lu family home today.

To prevent the mad dog from chasing and biting her again.

Now that the supplier issue has been resolved, the evidence against Qin Xiang for taking kickbacks is irrefutable. If the elder brother wants to protect Qin Xiang, then he must agree to his conditions.

She won't go back to the Lu family tonight, giving Lu Dongyou time to consider.

Lu Wu and Qin Xiang will probably keep bothering him.

Soon, the two arrived at the apartment parking garage.

Lu Ning turned her head to look at him, coughed, and said, "Would you like to come up and sit for a while?"

After she finished speaking, she suddenly felt that her words sounded a little strange.

The car was quiet; it was just the two of them.

Lu Ning felt his gaze, and her face grew hotter.

Ji Chiqian turned his head to look at her, his gaze deepening: "It's so late, do you know what inviting me up means?"

Lu Ning felt that the atmosphere inside the car had changed quite a bit.

She touched her ear: "I just said it offhand."

She heard a man's low laughter beside her, and when she turned her head, she saw Ji Chiqian leaning closer. Her heart immediately started racing.

Lu Ning stood up straight as she saw him approach.

Their eyes met, and they could hear each other breathing.

The car was dark, and the outside lights were dim, which made his handsome features appear even more defined. For a moment, Lu Ning was stunned.

Lu Ning's heart was pounding like a drum; she even wondered if her heartbeat was too loud.

Will he hear me?

With a click, the seatbelt buckle came off.

Lu Ning then came to her senses and realized what he had done. Her face burned like fire, thinking he was going to kiss her.

After all, many TV dramas and novels are written this way.

It seems she misunderstood?

Ji Chiqian suddenly looked down at her, and their eyes met.

Lu Ning, suppressing her wildly beating heart, stammered, "You..."

The next second, the man lowered his head and kissed her lips, his breath slightly ragged.

Lu Ning's eyes widened; she hadn't expected him to launch such a surprise attack. In the end, she reached out and took the initiative to climb onto his shoulder.

Sensing her initiative, Ji Chiqian deepened his kiss, his hands gripping her waist tightly.

Finally, the two stopped, panting heavily; Lu Ning's breathing was somewhat erratic.

Ji Chiqian stopped, touched her lips again, and said with restraint, "I've been holding back for a long time."

Lu Ning's eyelashes fluttered, and her face turned incredibly red.

His eyes darkened slightly as he locked onto her: "Would you like to invite me upstairs for a while?"

“You’re my boyfriend, what’s wrong with you going upstairs and sitting for a while? I have faith in you.”

Ji Chiqian's throat bobbed slightly, and he felt as if his heart had been scraped. He reached out and pressed his hand against the corner of her mouth, rubbing it little by little.

His voice was hoarse: "But I lack confidence in myself."

Lu Ning looked somewhat embarrassed; he wasn't like this before.

Ji Chiqian let go of her hand: "We used to be friends, but now you're my girlfriend. No one can be this calm in front of their girlfriend."

Lu Ning understood what he meant.

Ji Chiqian chuckled: "It's getting late, you should go back and rest early. Message me when you arrive."

"it is good."

Lu Ning blushed and nodded, then opened the car door and stepped into the elevator.

After the elevator doors closed, Lu Ning rubbed her burning face, the scene of kissing in the car still lingering in her mind.

She looked at her reflection in the elevator and couldn't help but touch her lips.

However, her mood improved a lot.

After returning to her apartment, Lu Ning stood by the window and sent Ji Chiqian a photo: "I've arrived."

"Okay, good night."

Ji Chiqian parked his car on the side of the road and, seeing the lights on in the apartment's living room, immediately called his secretary: "Help me make an appointment with Mrs. Chen; we need to discuss some things tomorrow."

He ran into Mrs. Chen at the opera house today, so he needs to make some preparations.

He glanced up at the apartment building before driving away.

Lu Ning stood by the window, enjoying the breeze outside, her mood as turbulent as the night.

Her phone received several group messages.

She opened it and saw that Lu Wu was making a fuss in the group chat about splitting up the family business and demanding that her eldest brother divide all the property and shares.

This is a bit interesting.

Lu Ning thought for a moment and sent a message to Qin Xiang in the group, tagging her: "The police will be coming to investigate tomorrow. Remember to make up for all the money you embezzled from the foundation, or you'll end up spending your life in jail!"

She knew Qin Xiang had no money.

Sure enough, the next second Lu Wu said angrily, "It's just a few hundred thousand, I will prepare a dowry of 99 for Xiangxiang!"
