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

Lu Ning felt that the atmosphere between them had become very ambiguous.

In fact, although Ji Chiqian was very good to her and considerate in every way, he was a gentleman and never overstepped his bounds.

The only slightly intimate contact they had was a brief few days of dating before he learned of her identity as the heir of the Ji family.

Later, due to various events, they were in a state of being more than friends but less than lovers.

Ji Chiqian always maintained a distance from her that was not offensive.

Ever since she took the initiative last time, this man has been like a large dog without a leash, staring at her with predatory eyes.

Lu Ning's mind was filled with a jumble of embarrassing images, so she quickly stepped back to keep her distance.

She paused for a moment and then said, "Actually, I don't really want to know."

Ji Chiqian saw her blush and look away, his eyes filled with amusement: "I'll tell you as soon as you get in the car. Don't you want to get your revenge?"

Of course I did.

Lu Ning opened the car door and got in: "Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Ji Chiqian didn't answer her question. He turned the car around and sped towards the Chen family's villa.

Lu Ning's heart leaped into her throat: "Ji Chiqian, what are you going to do?"

"I'll avenge you and tell the Chen family that you're under my protection."

"Are you crazy? Stop the car!"

Lu Ning was surprised that Ji Chiqian suddenly started acting like a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur).

Fortunately, the vehicle stopped in time.

Lu Ning, still shaken, looked at the man beside her: "Ji Chiqian, how come I never noticed you were so... so..."

I can't think of any words to describe it right now.

Ji Chiqian reached out and tidied her messy hair behind her ear: "Are you worried about me?"

"I'm worried about myself. What if you hit me and we both die in the crash? I've never even been in a serious relationship yet!"

As soon as Lu Ning finished speaking, he pinched her ear: "Never dated?"

His eyes were somewhat dark, and Lu Ning recalled the few days when they briefly confirmed their relationship.

She answered confidently, "Yes."

"Then how do we account for what happened before?"

"It's only been a few days, what's the big deal?"

Upon hearing her words, Ji Chiqian gritted his teeth in anger: "So you're going to deny it now?"

Seeing his angry expression, Lu Ning felt a little pleased, but on the surface she still pretended to be calm: "Why should I admit to anything? In your eyes, what were we before?"

"Of course it counts as a confirmed relationship, and we've been together."

"If you were together, then that means it's in the past."

As soon as Lu Ning finished speaking, her chin was grabbed.

Ji Chiqian was incredibly jealous: "We were together before, and our relationship was official. Besides, we're together again now."

Lu Ning slapped his hand away: "We agreed to keep our relationship secret, and your identity can't be revealed."

She had always been led by Ji Chiqian, and whenever she liked him, this man always refused to back down.

Now let him experience the same feelings he had back then.

Ji Chiqian looked at the angry girl in front of him, but he was completely helpless.

I definitely can't scold them, and I can't bear to be harsh with them either.

He could only sigh: "Alright, I shouldn't have joked with you like that. I just saw you were really angry, so I wanted to stand up for you, but I will absolutely not let you take any risks."

Lu Ning was in the passenger seat; how could he possibly risk crashing into the Chen family's gate?

Lu Ning calmed down and looked at him: "You know very well that I'm in a hurry right now."

"Yes, I've checked Chen Yu's whereabouts. She's at the Chen family's house. So if you call the police, it'll probably be useless."

Chen Yu is staying at home peacefully, how can that be considered missing?

“But Chen Yu is not free. Moreover, Lu Dongyou and Mrs. Chen conspired to force Chen Yu’s stepmother to sign a property transfer agreement before they would release her.”

Ji Chiqian composed himself: "This is indeed their only way to make money right now."

"If calling the police doesn't work, are we really going to let them get away with it? Are we just going to watch Mrs. Chen bully this widow and her daughter?"

Lu Ning couldn't swallow this insult.

"There is a way to quickly free Chen Yu."

"any solution?"

“I can give Lu Dongyou some money.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Ning stared blankly at him, then reached out and touched his forehead: "It's not hot. Did you drink today?"

Otherwise, why would they talk such nonsense?

Ji Chiqian grabbed her hand: "I'm very serious. This is a good opportunity to negotiate for some shares in Lu's Group. That's not unreasonable, is it?"

But Lu Ning knew that Ji Chiqian did it for her.

Lu Ning looked up: "Have you always been this generous?"

"I'm just being generous to you because I don't want to see you sad or have to go through all that trouble for your friends."

"Hmph, your money is my money too. Why should I give it to Lu Dongyou? That will only make me angrier. The Chen family is shameless; they even scheme against their own niece."

Lu Ning had been arguing angrily for a long time when she realized that Ji Chiqian had been watching her the whole time.

Lu Ning touched her face: "Why are you staring at me like that?"

"What did you say?"

"I said the Chen family is shameless; they even scheme against their own niece."

"last sentence."

Lu Ning met his dark eyes and suddenly seemed to remember something.

Her first words were: Your money is my money.

Lu Ning avoided Ji Chiqian's gaze: "I forgot."

Ji Chiqian was in a good mood: "Since you're so concerned about our money, let's think of another way. Cough cough, but you should know that I don't lack this little bit of money."

Lu Ning knew, of course, that the young master of the Ji family was not short of money.

But she couldn't swallow the fact that he gave money to Lu Dongyou for her sake.

Lu Ning changed the subject: "I met that stepmother before I went to the Chen family."

Lu Ning recounted what the two had said during their meeting and the plans they had discussed.

Ji Chiqian frowned: "This stepmother actually has the rights of a guardian?"

"I was also a little surprised. It was probably arranged by Chen Yu's father, who was worried that Chen Yu would be bullied. But that stepmother could only compromise for Chen Yu's sake and couldn't do anything about it."

Lu Ning looked at Ji Chiqian: "Do you think our method is feasible?"

"It's feasible, but we need to be careful to avoid them noticing anything amiss. They're not stupid; if you agree too easily, they'll definitely become wary."

Lu Ning nodded: "That's right, I guess you'll need to step in."

The goal is to catch the Chen family completely off guard.

If you're going to act, you should act realistically.

Lu Ning looked at Ji Chiqian with his hands on the steering wheel and said, "Keep accelerating and go in."

"Are you serious?"

"Only in this way will they believe that you will stand up for me. Otherwise, if you don't show up, they will definitely be wary."

After Lu Ning finished speaking, she looked at Ji Chiqian's ambiguous smile and blushed deeply: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Who stopped me just now?

"Doesn't that mean there was no plan?"

Lu Ning stared at the Chen family's gate: "Do you dare to charge in? Or are you scared?"

I'm afraid you'll get hurt.

Ji Chiqian turned his head and took her hand: "Use another method, this is too dangerous. I don't want you to go through another car accident!"

Even if they deliberately caused the collision, it's still unacceptable!

Lu Ning felt that his palms were very hot, as if they were baking her dry.
