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

Lu Ning blushed and carefully moved his hand away.

At least get up before he wakes up, so it won't be so awkward.

But as soon as Lu Ning moved slightly, Ji Chiqian woke up.

He nuzzled her head with his chin, his voice slightly nasal: "You're awake, good morning, Xiao Lu Ning."

Ji Chiqian subconsciously tightened his grip, pulling Lu Ning tightly into his arms—it was his instinctive reaction.

He thought he was dreaming, but the sensation in his palm told him that it probably wasn't a dream.

Ji Chiqian then opened his eyes and saw the girl leaning against him with her back to him; her ears were bright red.

He then realized where his hands were.

He quickly moved to a different position and whispered in Lu Ning's ear, "Sorry, I thought it was a dream."

"You are untrustworthy."

"I'm not lying to you. After all, you're only this obedient in my dreams, letting me hug you and kiss you." Letting me do whatever I want.

Ji Chiqian didn't say the last sentence.

Lu Ning's back was pressed against his chest, like leaning against a huge furnace. The key point was that his hands were holding her waist, showing no intention of letting go.

Lu Ning couldn't take it anymore: "Then let go first, I need to get up."

Ji Chiqian could tell she had reached her limit, so he stopped teasing her and let go of her hand: "You were the one who came to me first last night."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ning turned to look at him suspiciously.

But her sleeping posture was indeed not very good. Thinking of Ji Chiqian's upright sleeping posture last night, she really didn't have the confidence to refute it.

Lu Ning blushed and got up to go to the bathroom to wash up.

Her heart was racing, and she reached out to cover her chest, as if the warmth and touch of his large hand still lingered there.

Lu Ning splashed cold water on her face. What on earth was she thinking?

She dawdled through her washing up and came out just as Ji Chiqian came in from outside, carrying a clean set of clothes.

Lu Ning glanced at it and realized that he had no clothes in his room other than pajamas.

So, was this delivered by someone?

Ji Chiqian glanced at her: "I've had breakfast prepared. Go out and see if you like it. If you don't, have them change it to something else."

"them?"

"Yes, my personal secretary is outside the door."

Lu Ning nodded. The Lu family used to be considered a wealthy family in City A, so they were quite knowledgeable about assistants.

Lu Ning didn't want to be in the same bedroom with him at this time, and he didn't even go to the dressing room to change his clothes. He just stood by the bed and took off his shirt.

Lu Ning glanced at it and hurriedly left the bedroom.

Ji Chiqian's mood improved considerably after hearing the door close.

After walking into the hall, Lu Ning gradually calmed down and went straight to the dining table, where she saw the takeout box.

She glanced around and saw that the breakfast at the pear orchard was quite lavish.

At this moment, Chen Yu came out with a gossipy look on her face: "You two actually slept together last night! You lied to me and said you slept separately!"

Last night, Chen Yu got up to go to the bathroom and saw that no one was on the sofa, so she guessed that Ji Chiqian must be sleeping with Lu Ning.

Lu Ning grabbed Chen Yu: "Don't talk nonsense."

"You're sleeping in the same room, and you still say it's nothing? Stop pretending, I know everything."

After Chen Yu finished speaking, she went to the dining table to see what delicious food was available.

Lu Ning also sat down at the dining table: "How did you sleep last night?"

"That's good. Knowing that the money is still there, I don't have to worry about anything."

Chen Yu glanced at the breakfast: "Brother Ji is so good to you, are these all your favorite dishes?"

After all, the two are good friends, and Chen Yu also knows what Lu Ning likes to eat.

"So much food can't shut you up?"

Ji Chiqian changed his clothes and came out, still wearing a suit, looking every bit the upper-class elite.

Chen Yu looked over and said, "Thank you for helping me."

Lu Ning: "Why are you thanking me? We're best friends."

Chen Yu looked at Ji Chiqian: "Thank you too, eldest brother of the Ji family."

"Don't mention it, after all, I'm your best friend's boyfriend."

Ji Chiqian spoke calmly and composedly as he uttered those words.

Chen Yu made a teasing sound, while Lu Ning next to him lowered her head and remained silent, but her face remained red.

After finishing breakfast, Chen Yu glanced at the time: "I have class this morning, so I'll go to school first."

Lu Ning was a little worried: "I think Mrs. Chen will soon discover that there is a problem with the contract."

Those people will definitely come looking for Chen Yu again.

Chen Yu sneered: "I won't let them succeed again. I've hired a very capable bodyguard."

"Is one enough? Or should we hire a few more?"

Lu Ning was still a little worried.

Chen Yu blinked: "One of him is enough, and I trust him."

Ji Chiqian narrowed his eyes slightly: "He's back?"

Chen Yu lowered his eyelids and nodded: "Yes."

"Indeed, he's enough on his own."

Lu Ning felt that the two were speaking in riddles, but she didn't ask any questions. It wasn't until Chen Yu came out that Lu Ning saw the tall figure standing at the door.

The man was dressed in black and wearing a baseball cap.

He was tall and strong, with his sleeves rolled up to reveal his powerful forearms, making him appear to be a very strong man.

Unfortunately, the man was standing in the shadows, so his face couldn't be seen.

But Lu Ning was willing to bet that the bodyguard was not bad-looking.

Ji Chiqian closed the door, his voice low and languid: "Have you seen enough?"

Lu Ning, feeling a bit gossipy, walked over, wanting to open the door and peek in, but Ji Chiqian stopped her: "What's so interesting?"

"Who was that bodyguard just now? You seem to know him, but I've never heard you mention him before?"

Lu Ning was just curious, and felt that the relationship between the bodyguard and Chen Yu was not ordinary.

She was very curious to see what the bodyguard looked like.

Ji Chiqian scooped Lu Ning up and sat her on the entryway cabinet, trapping her on it with both hands. He bent down to look her in the eye and asked, "Are you very interested in him?"

"Yeah, look at his physique, so good, so strong, exuding a sensual aura, no matter how you look at him..."

Before Lu Ning could finish speaking, Ji Chiqian silenced her with a kiss that was both forceful and tinged with jealousy.

Lu Ning's resistance was futile, and she could only blush as he bullied her.

After a while, Ji Chiqian stopped, his hands resting on her waist, seemingly tempted, but ultimately he didn't go any further.

His voice was deep: "My physique isn't bad either, do you want to try how sexy I am?"

Lu Ning's mind was buzzing: "Don't think too much about it. I'm just curious if there's a story between him and Chen Yu?"

"Want to know?"

Lu Ning nodded very honestly.

Ji Chiqian saw her looking up obediently, her lips still glistening with moisture from his earlier rough treatment, making him want to kiss her again, harder and more fiercely.

He reached out and pulled Lu Ning into his arms, then led her directly to the sofa.

Ji Chiqian held Lu Ning in his arms as they sat down, looking down at her: "I don't usually gossip about others, but unless you're willing to give me something sweet."

Sweetness?

Lu Ning remembered that he said he wanted to eat candy last night, and that at worst he would just get kissed for a while, which was no big deal.

She doesn't reject it either.

Lu Ning nodded directly: "Okay, as long as you tell me."

After she agreed, Ji Chiqian smiled and said, "He was my high school classmate. His family was very poor. After graduating from high school, he went abroad to work as a mercenary to earn money to treat his grandmother's illness."

"How could such a cold and tough man like him be willing to be Chen Yu's bodyguard?"

There's definitely a story behind it!

Ji Chiqian lowered his eyes and stared at Lu Ning's lips, saying in a deep voice, "Chen Yu used to pursue him and even slept with him."
