After Miss Lu became the only one to enjoy the limelight, her six brothers knelt down and begged for

Lu Ning's heart was racing, and she felt a little dizzy.

Ji Chiqian saw the wariness and vigilance in her eyes and was secretly pleased.

He deliberately walked to the long sofa next to him and put Lu Ning on it: "Of course, let's continue."

continue?

When Lu Ning's back was pressed against the sofa, she braced herself against his chest, her voice trembling slightly: "Ji... Ji Chiqian."

"Hmm? I'm here."

He said this, but his hands never stopped.

Lu Ning's face turned bright red. She quickly pressed her hand in front of her and said in a very soft voice, "I'm afraid this won't work."

"If this place doesn't work, how about we go somewhere else?"

Ji Chiqian pretended not to understand her meaning and reached out to hug her: "Where do you want to go?"

Lu Ning looked at the handsome face in front of her and said, "I...I haven't decided yet."

"If you haven't thought it through, don't be so proactive next time."

Lu Ning paused for a moment, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly: "When it comes to someone I like, my self-control isn't as good as you think."

On the contrary, he had no resistance at all.

After Ji Chiqian finished speaking, he lowered his head and forcefully kissed her lips, then quickly pulled away: "Next time, I won't stop."

Lu Ning understood the implied meaning behind those words.

She saw Ji Chiqian stand up and straighten his clothes. His once clean and tidy shirt was now wrinkled, and his belt seemed to be loose.

Lu Ning glanced at it and then looked away. She lowered her head and straightened her clothes, her face still burning with embarrassment as she recalled the accidental escalation of the moment.

After tidying their clothes, the two returned to the dining table.

Ji Chiqian served her some food: "If you like it, you can come here often in the future."

Is this a new menu item from the Peking Opera troupe?

"No, a menu just for you."

Lu Ning was stunned: "Isn't this a bit too extravagant?"

"I'm the major shareholder behind the opera troupe, so what's wrong with me cooking some food for the future boss's wife?"

The man spoke very frankly.

Lu Ning looked down at the dishes in front of her and said softly, "I haven't agreed to it yet."

"I can afford to wait."

Lu Ning's lips curled up slightly: "Then it depends on your performance."

She thought that after personally taking Qin Xiang's father to the police station and after her parents' matter was settled, she would seriously consider her relationship with Ji Chiqian.

By then, she would have avenged her great grudge and her fate from her previous life would have been changed.

There were absolutely no scruples left.

The meal was finished quietly.

Lu Ning suddenly remembered something: "How's the artificial intelligence project at Maple Leaf Company going?"

"It's going very smoothly. With Gu Zifeng keeping an eye on things, there won't be any problems."

Lu Ning nodded: "That's good, but the Lu family's project has been delayed for a long time due to lack of funds."

“PZ Company will likely contact your brother soon to discuss this matter. Lu's Company is going to be in big trouble this time. PZ Company's cooperation terms have always been very harsh.”

"That's a good thing, then."

Lu Ning didn't care at all about the life or death of the Lu family.

Ji Chiqian hesitated for a moment: "But the company was founded by your parents. Without their hard work, your older brother wouldn't be where he is today. Can you bear to do that?"

"I can't bear to, but I don't want to help."

Ji Chiqian held her hand: "We can try to take over the company. Then you'll be in charge, and things will be different."

Lu Ning thought for a moment: "It'll probably be quite troublesome, but I don't have the energy to think about that right now. I just want revenge!"

She felt very uncomfortable thinking about how Qin Xiang and the Mo family had succeeded in her past life.

She's gone this far; she'll definitely make the real culprit pay the price.

Ji Chiqian patted Lu Ning's head: "That's right, it's more important to make the real culprit pay the price."

"Well, after all, Qin Xiang hasn't been found yet, and the Mo family hasn't paid the price, so we can't let our guard down. One shouldn't be greedy, nor should one want everything."

Looking at Ji Chiqian beside her, Lu Ning realized that she had gained far too much in this life compared to her previous one.

She was very satisfied.

When Ji Chiqian heard her say that one should not be too greedy, his gaze became complicated, but he didn't say anything more.

Soon, the vehicle arrived outside the school.

Lu Ning looked outside: "I've arrived."

"Lu Ning".

"what happened?"

She turned around and saw him lean in and kiss her lips.

Lu Ning blushed and pushed him away: "What are you doing? I haven't agreed to it yet."

"Then I'll be a secret boyfriend who can't be seen in public."

"How can you do this? Wouldn't that be unfair to the young master of the Ji family?"

Ji Chiqian licked his thin lips, looking intently at her: "I'm not wronged at all."

At least we can kiss and hug each other and have some fun.

He accepts it if she doesn't have a formal title; he'll be his wife sooner or later anyway.

Unable to bear the atmosphere inside the car, Lu Ning opened the door and fled.

She didn't know what would happen if she stayed any longer.

After watching her walk into the school, Ji Chiqian opened the window and gradually calmed down as the cool breeze outside blew in.

He dialed Gu Zifeng's number: "There's something I need to tell you. Investigate the cooperation between Lu Dongyou and PZ Company, and see if there's anything we can do to it."

"What do you mean? PZ Company has always had harsh terms for cooperation and likes to take advantage of others' misfortunes to acquire their partners. This time, Lu's Company is doomed, and you want to get involved and help?"

Ji Chiqian said calmly, "The company is the result of my parents-in-law's hard work, and it shouldn't be swallowed up or sold off like this."

After PZ acquired the company, it immediately split it up and eventually sold it.

He won't let Lu's company do the same.

After hearing this, Gu Zifeng laughed out loud: "Oh my, you've already called them father-in-law and mother-in-law? Do they even acknowledge you?"

Ji Chiqian's face darkened: "Anyway, it's better than you being a single dog."

Gu Zifeng gritted his teeth: "Fine, you win!"

After chatting for a while, Ji Chiqian hung up the phone and looked in the direction of the school. His usually empty heart seemed to be filled with something new.

So this is what it's like to have someone you care about.

He looked up at the dark blue night sky and felt that the stars tonight were particularly pleasing to the eye.

After returning to her school dormitory, Lu Ning's heart began to race uncontrollably as she thought about what had just happened between the two of them.

Lu Ning returned to her dorm after scouting the time.

She quietly pushed open the door and entered the room, only to find that her two roommates were asleep, at which point she breathed a sigh of relief.

But as Lu Ning closed the door and walked over, Chen Guoguo suddenly pulled open the curtain: "Tsk tsk, you're back so late. You didn't really need to come back."

"Ahem, of course I'm coming back."

"It's so nice to stay outside. I heard that domineering CEOs own hotels and stay in luxury hotels."

Lu Ning glanced at Chen Guoguo: "So you think I'm too poor to afford a hotel like this?"

Although Lu Ning is not as rich as Ji Chiqian, she is certainly not short of money.

Chen Yu pulled back the curtain and peeked out: "Judging from your radiant face, it seems the date went very well?"

"It's...it's alright."

Lu Ning blushed slightly, and decided to follow her heart.

She really liked Ji Chiqian.

She wanted to be with him.

Chen Yu sighed: "Seeing you so happy, it's really not that I didn't want to tell you this bad news and spoil your mood."

Lu Ning looked up: "What's wrong?"

"According to reliable sources, Madam Ji fell ill from anger, and I heard that some things were found out. The Mo family man has been staying with her at the hospital, almost 24 hours a day. I don't know if he's faking it, but I'm worried that the Mo family might use this to blackmail the eldest brother of the Ji family."

Lu Ning paused for a moment, "Is Aunt Ji sick?"
