When Lu Ning heard his words, if she hadn't seen his expression, she would have really thought he was just concerned about whether she had class.

She was unusually clever for once: "I have class."

After she finished speaking, she went to the kitchen to get some water, as she felt her throat was a little dry.

Lu Ning was standing in front of the refrigerator when a chest pressed against her from behind and hugged her waist.

Lu Ning almost choked on the water.

After she finished drinking the water, she turned around and looked at Ji Chiqian warily: "Do you want some water too?"

Ji Chiqian didn't say anything, but lowered his head and took a sip from the water glass in her hand.

Lu Ning looked down at him; he was handsome, with a dashing profile.

The way he drank water slowly and deliberately was particularly pleasing to the eye.

He stopped, a few drops of water clinging to his thin lips, and just looked at her.

Lu Ning couldn't help but want to wipe it off for him, but he lowered his head and sealed her lips with his.

His kiss was incredibly passionate as he gently placed her on the kitchen counter.

Lu Ning's heart trembled, and she reached out to wrap her arms around Ji Chiqian's neck. In fact, she liked him and did not reject such intimacy.

Lu Ning's initiative ignited a fire in Ji Chiqian's eyes.

He stopped, his breathing unsteady.

His eyes were dark and bright, with sparks hidden deep within.

The usually aloof man becomes a naive young man in front of Lu Ning, his eyes filled with questions.

Lu Ning was a little embarrassed and looked down at him.

Ji Chiqian kissed her neck: "Is it okay?"

Lu Ning shyly withdrew her hand: "Never mind then."

Ji Chiqian chuckled and kissed her neck down. How could he possibly stop at this moment?

He didn't want to stop either.

Lu Ning gripped his shoulders tightly, looking around shyly. Car horns could be heard outside, but the room was quiet.

Lu Ning felt that she would never be able to look at the kitchen the same way again.

Suddenly Ji Chiqian stopped, frowning as if somewhat annoyed.

Lu Ning looked at her in surprise, her breathing becoming somewhat disordered.

Ji Chiqian said in a low voice, "No, there isn't one."

I didn't buy it.

The main problem is that I don't know if she will agree.

Lu Ning calmed down. Indeed, she couldn't do without it, and she didn't want to cause anyone to die right now.

Ji Chiqian sighed and hugged Lu Ning in his arms: "Remember this for now."

Lu Ning blushed and didn't say anything, quietly leaning against him.

At that moment, she felt the warmth emanating from his body, pressed her cheek against his chest, and inexplicably thought of his abs.

Lu Ning reached out and poked it, and heard a gasp in her ear.

Ji Chiqian bit her ear: "Don't move."

Lu Ning said in a low voice, "Can't I touch my abs?"

"Not now, I can't resist later."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ning obediently withdrew her hand, as she still had things to do later.

The two hugged for a while.

In the end, Ji Chiqian carried her to the master bedroom, and Lu Ning jumped down from his arms and went straight to the bathroom.

Ji Chiqian rubbed his temples. He would go buy it later, so he could use it next time.

Lu Ning and Ji Chiqian had been dawdling for so long that it was already noon.

Ji Chiqian drove her to Liyuan for dinner.

When Lu Ning opened her phone, she saw a report on Maple Leaf Company's new products, which naturally included the embarrassing incident involving the Lu family. Naturally, Maple Leaf Company's products received high praise.

She smiled. Now, the Lu family must be regretting it to death.

Lu Ning told Ji Chiqian about the news report.

As Ji Chiqian drove, he asked, "When are you planning to call the police?"

Lu Ning paused for a moment: "Tomorrow, let's discuss it with the Lu family later."

If it weren't for the fact that the Lu family still had some use, she wouldn't care about them at all.

Ji Chiqian gripped the steering wheel tightly; he knew this day would eventually come.

After the two finished their meal, Ji Chiqian took Lu Ning to school.

He sat in the car for a long time, lost in thought, before finally making a phone call: "Mom, how have you been lately?"

"It's truly remarkable that you still remember me as your mother."

Mrs. Ji's words had a hidden meaning.

Ji Chiqian said, "I know you don't believe what I'm saying, but I have a way to show you clearly. I'll show you in a moment."

Madam Ji paused for a moment, then said, "Alright, I thought you had forgotten about this."

"Because you weren't feeling well a few days ago, I was afraid you'd know that you weren't feeling well."

After hearing this, Madam Ji sighed and said, "Then I'll wait for your news."

After hanging up the phone, Mrs. Ji felt a little sad; she was just a stepmother.

Many people have said this.

But Ji Chiqian's son is really outstanding, and she is very proud of him.

Even when they argued about the Mo family, Ji Chiqian didn't disrespect her.

Ji Chiqian is the heir of the Ji family. If he doesn't give his stepmother face, Madam Ji can't do anything about it.

That's why she agreed to what Ji Chiqian said, wanting to see if the Mo family had really lied to her!

At this moment, Madam Mo walked up to Madam Ji with food in her arms and said, "Dinner's ready."

"I'm being discharged from the hospital today, so you don't need to go to the trouble of bringing me meals. I have servants at home."

Mrs. Ji held Mrs. Mo's hand. Since her husband's death, it was her best friend who had been by her side through it all.

She remembered the bond between the two of them.

Caught between her son's suspicions and her best friend's kindness, Mrs. Ji was in a dilemma.

Mrs. Mo said with red eyes, "You are the most important person to me, of course I have to care about you."

"But I heard the Mo family is having some troubles. Aren't you going to help them?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Mo lowered her head and composed herself: "It's all about work. Shiyi has been very capable lately, and the Mo family will rise to even greater heights under her leadership."

"Poetic is a good child."

"Yes, if you ask me, a man should find a virtuous wife. If she's a caged bird that can't help with anything, she won't be of any benefit to the family in the future."

Madam Ji understood the meaning behind Madam Mo's words: "We must find Shiyi a suitable husband."

"You know who Shiyi likes, but there's nothing you can do about it."

Mrs. Mo stopped there.

Madam Ji smiled faintly: "But I really can't make decisions about Ah Qian's affairs. Things are different now than before."

Mrs. Mo felt somewhat disappointed after hearing this.

She thought that her care during this time would help Madam Ji to matchmake Mo Shiyi and Ji Chiqian.

It seems that it still won't work.

Madam Ji looked at Madam Mo: "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Yes, there is, but I'm too embarrassed to ask you.

"What's the matter? Do you need any investment?"

Mrs. Mo shook her head: "It's not about the money, but about that car accident from back then. Lu Ning and the Lu family plan to reopen the police investigation, which will definitely drag the Mo family into it, making things even worse."

Madam Ji was not surprised at all by these words.

She said, "You shouldn't have done such an illegal thing in the first place."

"I already know I was wrong, but Lu Ning keeps pressing me. I didn't do it on purpose; it was all that driver's idea. My best friend, you have to help me."

"How can I help with this? I caused Aji to hold a grudge back then."

Mrs. Ji is now filled with regret.

Mrs. Mo hurriedly cried and said, "But if you don't help me, then I will have nowhere to turn."

"Here's what we'll do: go to the police station and turn yourself in."

Madam Mo's tearful expression froze instantly. Confess?

Did she hear it correctly?
