"Your father told me to take good care of you before he passed away, but I haven't done anything for you. This is just a small token of my appreciation. But after I'm gone, they will definitely come after you, so be careful."

Chen Yu nodded: "I know."

Once you've been fooled, you'll never be fooled again.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Ning handed over a tissue: "Wipe yourself off, everything's fine now. I'll be there for you no matter what you want to do."

Chen Yu nodded, then looked around and asked, "Are you living with the eldest brother from the Ji family?"

Lu Ning was stunned: "No."

"Then why did I see men's slippers earlier? And you didn't even tell him the address, yet he just drove over like he's been here many times before."

Lu Ning looked at Chen Yu: "You were so upset just now, how could you still be thinking about these things?"

"I work in journalism, so of course I have to pay attention to these details. It's instinct."

Chen Yu felt much better after learning that the property was still there.

She looked around: "No clothes, looks like you don't come here often. Tsk tsk, the eldest brother of the Ji family isn't very good. He usually looks at you like he's going to devour you, but he hasn't even touched you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Lu Ning's face flushed red instantly.

Just then, the sound of the door opening came from outside; Ji Chiqian had returned.

Lu Ning quickly let go of Chen Yu's hand, her face flushed. She stood up immediately and said, "Let me help you."

Ji Chiqian put the things on the ground. He looked down and noticed that Lu Ning's ears were red, and his gaze darkened a bit.

He handed Lu Ning a package: "These are toiletries, I just bought some. These are food, I'll put them on the table."

Lu Ning took the bag he handed her and accidentally touched his hand, which was incredibly warm.

Remembering what Chen Yu had said, Lu Ning turned around and brought these things to Chen Yu: "Why don't you live with me?"

Chen Yu glanced at it and said, "I'll just stay in the second bedroom, you two can stay in the master bedroom!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Chiqian stiffened and gave Lu Ning a cryptic look: "I'll sleep on the sofa."

Lu Ning felt her face temperature rise even more.

Chen Yu glanced at the two of them, then lowered her voice and said to Lu Ning, "Could it be that he's the one living in the second bedroom?"

Lu Ning nodded.

Chen Yu was a little excited: "You guys weren't asleep... umm."

Lu Ning covered Chen Yu's mouth, blushing as she whispered, "Don't do that, he'll hear you."

Chen Yu coughed and said, "Never mind then, I'll go stay at a hotel."

"No, you must stay here. It will be dangerous for you to live outside."

Chen Yu shook her head: "I'm not used to sleeping with other people at night, so I won't bother you."

Lu Ning was persistent. She blushed and said, "I'll go tidy up the second bedroom."

She originally planned to have Chen Yu sleep with her, but if Chen Yu didn't like sleeping with others, then she would sleep in the spare bedroom.

Anyway, Ji Chiqian can sleep anywhere.

Lu Ning walked into the kitchen, looked at Ji Chiqian and said, "Why don't you go and tidy up?"

"There doesn't seem to be anything there. Go check it out."

Ji Chiqian had indeed only stayed here a few times, and there seemed to be nothing here, but just to be on the safe side, it was still worth checking.

Lu Ning went straight to the second bedroom, where there was indeed nothing.

She checked the bed; the sheets definitely needed to be changed, but it didn't seem like anything was wrong.

She opened the closet and found a set of men's pajamas and a pair of boxer shorts.

Lu Ning blushed as she took the boxer shorts out from inside her pajamas and put them in her bedroom.

Ji Chiqian had already set out dinner and stood beside Lu Ning, asking, "Are you all ready?"

Lu Ning nodded, but didn't dare to look him in the eye.

The three people sat at the dining table eating.

Chen Yu asked about their car, and Lu Ning told her what they had done that afternoon.

Chen Yu laughed until her stomach hurt: "That lawn was painstakingly created by my aunt. She loves the fresh and clean scenery of lawns. Now that you've trampled it like this, she must be so angry that she can't even eat dinner."

Lu Ning laughed along, "These were all Ji Chiqian's ideas; he's the worst."

Ji Chiqian looked up at Lu Ning and his tongue moved slightly.

Is he bad?

She hadn't seen his worse side yet; he was just afraid of scaring her.

After the chat ended, Chen Yu yawned: "I'm going to sleep now, I didn't sleep well at all."

"Then I'll help you put on the new sheets."

Lu Ning and Chen Yu went to the second bedroom together.

After tidying up the restaurant, Ji Chiqian sat down on the sofa, his gaze falling on the second bedroom, where he heard a girl's laughter.

He glanced at it and then looked away.

Half an hour later, Lu Ning walked out of the room.

She saw the man sitting on the sofa, walked over and said, "She's already asleep."

It was clear that Chen Yu had been forcing herself to keep chatting, but she fell asleep as soon as she lay down.

Ji Chiqian lowered his voice: "Where are my clothes?"

“It’s in my bedroom, come with me.”

Lu Ning went to the bedroom without thinking.

Ji Chiqian paused for a moment, then followed her inside.

After Lu Ning heard him close the door, she turned around and looked at him. The room, which was originally very large, felt somewhat cramped because of his arrival.

Lu Ning bent down and handed him the clothes: "These are yours."

But Ji Chiqian didn't answer. He said, "What did you just say about me?"

Lu Ning met those somewhat dangerous eyes and took a step back: "It's nothing."

"You say I'm bad, but what have I done to you?"

Ji Chiqian spoke as he moved closer to her.

Lu Ning was cornered against the cabinet, with nowhere left to retreat.

But he continued walking until her hand touched him and she felt the heat emanating from his body.

Lu Ning held his clothes in her hands, gripping his pajamas tightly, her face growing hot: "I was just saying it casually, but what else could it be but a bad idea for you to deliberately drive over the lawn?"

Lu Ning wanted to say something more, but his hand landed on her lips, gently rubbing them.

His gaze was fixed on her lips, as if he hadn't heard a word she said.

Lu Ning hadn't had time to turn on the lights when she came in, so it was dark all around except for the faint light coming from outside the window.

The two were very close at that moment, and the surroundings were blurry, so she could only make out his outline.

Ji Chiqian said, "I helped you today, how are you going to thank me?"

"Another day..."

Before Lu Ning could finish speaking, his burning body pressed against hers.

He lowered his head and kissed her cheek, his voice extremely restrained: "I don't want another day, I want something else."

"Other, what?"

Lu Ning turned her head away, but the two were still very close, and his body burned her like fire.

Ji Chiqian said in a low voice, "Candy."

Lu Ning turned around in surprise: "What candy... um."

There was no chance to say the rest. He cupped her face in his hands, his fingertips gently touching her skin, conveying the warmth of his body.

This kiss was anything but gentle; on the contrary, it was extremely domineering.

In a secluded corner, a man and a woman were tightly embracing each other, their breathing erratic.

Ji Chiqian stopped before things got out of control, his dark eyes blazing.

He said in a hoarse voice, "Sweet candy like this, understand?"

He had been thinking about it for a long time.

He had wanted to do this ever since she deliberately stood outside the car window during the day.

Lu Ning blushed and pushed him away, but the pajamas she was holding fell to the ground, while her boxer shorts floated the farthest.

As Lu Ning was escaping, she stepped right on it; it was gray fabric with a hole in it.

It was so hot it made her heart tremble.
