After hearing the phone ring, Lu Ning turned her head to look at it.

Ji Chiqian held her hand, and their fingers intertwined.

He said in a low voice, "Can't you concentrate a little?"

Lu Ning curled up in his arms and reached out to touch his abs; his physique was as good as ever.

Ji Chiqian's hand slipped under her clothes, pinching her slender waist, and his breathing became heavier.

Lu Ning felt the desk in the study was a little cold, but nestled in his arms, she was filled with joy.

The next day.

When Lu Ning woke up, she looked up and saw a somewhat unfamiliar bedroom.

She felt very happy as someone held her tightly in their arms.

"woke up?"

Ji Chiqian's voice was low and husky as he kissed her ear: "Last night... were you still feeling unwell?"

"Fortunately."

Lu Ning hid half her face under the blanket, a little shy.

Last night, she and Ji Chiqian finally took the final step. Although they had been together before, they had never crossed that final line.

Ji Chiqian kissed her forehead: "What do you want to eat for breakfast?"

Lu Ning thought for a moment and replied, "I don't want to eat Western-style breakfast."

Ji Chiqian: "..."

Seeing his expression, Lu Ning immediately laughed and said, "Just kidding! You've personally cooked for me, how could I possibly be picky?"

Ji Chiqian held her hand and kissed it: "You don't need to say these comforting words. But you've only just started practicing cooking. I believe you'll definitely surpass Qin Yang in the future."

"Why do you want to compete with him in cooking? He has more free time than you, cooks more often, and has more time to practice."

Ji Chiqian narrowed his eyes slightly: "This is a matter between men."

Lu Ning leaned closer: "Isn't it true that men can't say no?"

After she finished speaking, Ji Chiqian pressed down on her wrist and looked down at her: "You kept saying you were tired last night, but I see you're recovering quite well now."

Lu Ning met those piercing eyes and immediately turned her head away: "I'm hungry."

"But don't you dislike Western-style breakfasts?"

Ji Chiqian lowered his head and kissed her neck, his breath falling on her, and he suddenly felt a little dangerous.

Lu Ning pitifully pulled his hand: "I like eating it now."

Ji Chiqian chuckled softly, then got up and got out of bed.

Lu Ning looked up and saw the man's back. He had a really good physique, with thin muscles and abs.

Ji Chiqian and Qin Yang are completely different types.

But she still prefers Ji Chiqian's type.

Seeing the clothes scattered on the ground, Lu Ning recalled the intense scene between the two of them last night, and her face flushed even more.

Well, she already liked Ji Chiqian a lot, so this kind of thing just happened naturally.

She went straight to the dressing room and found that all the clothes were ready and everything was provided.

This is truly the power of money; it can arrange everything.

Lu Ning didn't stand on ceremony and changed her clothes immediately.

She picked up her phone and saw several missed calls.

Most of the calls came from Lu Nanfeng; they probably knew she had returned to her hometown and wanted to call her.

The rest was a message from Chen Yu saying that he had something to tell her.

Lu Ning thought for a moment and then called back: "Um, I didn't answer the phone last night, is there something wrong?"

"Didn't you answer the phone last night? It wasn't late then, were you asleep so early? Or was it inconvenient for you to answer the phone at that time?"

Chen Yu's words were teasing, and Lu Ning's face flushed considerably.

She immediately changed the subject: "I'll tell you about this when we get back."

"Alright, there's been a bit of a development with Mo Shiyi. It seems she's joined PZ Company."

Upon hearing about Mo Shiyi's update, Lu Ning asked indifferently, "What kind of work is she doing at PZ Company?"

"It just so happens that you're in charge of that AI project in collaboration with the Lu Group. Isn't that a coincidence? If it were any other job, I wouldn't even be reminding you. After all, PZ Company is a powerful company, and it's very likely that it will compete with Maple Leaf Company in the future, becoming your biggest competitor."

"Now I think I know why Mo Shiyi went to work for PZ Company. She really won't give up."

Lu Ning didn't need to guess to know what Mo Shiyi was thinking.

Chen Yu said, "Anyway, you should be careful in advance. Mo Shiyi has nothing now, so she will definitely cause trouble for you."

"I see."

After Lu Ning hung up the phone, she saw Ji Chiqian come out carrying food.

She walked over and said, "It looks much better than last time."

"Then you should try it; it will definitely taste much better than before."

Ji Chiqian didn't seem to think anything of it at all, and his tone was quite confident.

He looked at Lu Ning: "Who called you just now? An old classmate?"

He carefully analyzed the people Lu Ning might have a crush on, and concluded that they were most likely in City A, or classmates she knew from her school days.

After all, judging from Lu Ning's growth trajectory, it's highly likely that her crush is a classmate.

Lu Ning looked up: "It's Chen Yu."

When Ji Chiqian heard that it was Chen Yu calling, he immediately lost interest.

Lu Ning looked over and said, "Aren't you going to ask her why she called? It's all your fault; you didn't answer her calls last night."

“You could have answered the phone then, but I definitely wouldn’t have stopped.”

Ji Chiqian remained remarkably calm as he uttered these shameless words while holding his chopsticks.

After understanding what he meant, Lu Ning blushed and said, "Shameless."

"In critical moments, it's more worthwhile to be shameless."

"..."

Lu Ning had absolutely no desire to continue this topic.

She began, "Chen Yu told me that Mo Shiyi joined PZ Company, specifically to handle the collaboration with Lu's Group on artificial intelligence. She warned us to be careful, lest that woman do something underhanded."

After listening, Ji Chiqian remained calm: "A bunch of rabble can only pick up the market we don't want anymore. You don't need to worry about that at all. I believe in your skills, but you also need to believe in my abilities."

Hearing the man's confident tone, Lu Ning smiled and said, "You're right."

There's really nothing to be afraid of.

She thought for a moment and then said, "I wonder if there's any news from the cemetery."

Just then, the phone rang; it was Lu Xicheng calling.

Lu Ning glanced at it; if it were Lu Nanfeng calling, she definitely wouldn't answer.

It's Lu Xicheng calling now. After all, he still needs to continue treating Aunt Ji, so he can't be too ruthless for the time being.

She finally answered the phone: "Hello, what's up?"

"Did you contact the cemetery and tell them that if Qin Xiang's body is buried there, you would definitely dig up the grave?"

Lu Ning took a bite of her fried egg: "Yes, that's right. How did you all find out too? Who told you?"
