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

Lu Ning looked at Ji Chiqian sitting next to her, and the temperature on her face instantly rose.

She stammered, "Boss, you've misunderstood. He's not my boyfriend."

The boss joked, "I know you young people like to say that, but he's quite handsome."

Lu Ning returned to her seat, her face flushed. The man opposite her looked up and asked, "What did the boss say?"

"No, I didn't say anything. Master, is there anything you'd like to eat?"

"I'm not hungry."

Ji Chiqian didn't really like eating these things. He saw that the boss had given him a stack of peanuts and two cans of beer.

He frowned and looked at Lu Ning: "Children shouldn't drink alcohol."

"I'm an adult, why can't I drink?"

Lu Ning felt that with the successful signing of Douxia Live today, she was finally financially independent and had her own source of income.

Why can't we celebrate?

Ji Chiqian moved the beer in front of her to him: "No."

Lu Ning was a little depressed.

Just then, Ji Chiqian's phone rang, and he stood up: "I'll go answer this call."

Watching his departing figure, Lu Ning secretly took the beer.

Even if you tell her not to drink, she insists on drinking.

Ji Chiqian walked to the side of the road and answered the phone: "Hello, Mom."

"Xiao Qian, are you still dealing with things in City A?"

"Yeah, almost."

"That's good. It's time to put our engagement with Miss Mo on the agenda. Cough cough cough, what do you think?"

Ji Chiqian looked at the elongated shadow on the road and said in a cold tone, "Let's talk about it when I get back. You should take care of yourself first."

"Miss Mo is a good girl, and that child is filial. She often comes to keep me company when you're not around. Since you don't have a girl you like, why not marry someone of equal social standing? What do you think?"

Ji Chiqian's profile turned cold, his eyes filled with hostility.

He pursed his thin lips and said in a gentle tone, "You should take care of your health first."

He comforted his mother for a while before hanging up the phone.

He glanced down at his phone, then sent a message: "Check on what's been happening with the Mo family lately."

Ji Chiqian stood there, his back to him utterly silent.

He stood there for a while, and when he turned to look at Lu Ning, he saw that she was holding a beer and drinking it.

He frowned and strode towards Lu Ning: "Who told you to drink that?"

The beer was taken from Lu Ning's hand. She tilted her head and looked at the man in front of her: "Can't I do it myself?"

Ji Chiqian glanced at the several cans of beer on the table; it seemed he had drunk quite a bit.

Ji Chiqian, expressionless, helped Lu Ning up: "Lu Ning, wake up!"

"Why?"

"go home."

Lu Ning shook her head: "I have no home anymore. Now I wander the world."

Ji Chiqian saw the tear tracks in her eyes, pulled her into his arms, and said calmly, "Stop being so cheeky."

"I didn't, I'm perfectly sober."

Lu Ning looked up at the man in front of her; his profile was very handsome.

She couldn't help but touch his face: "Master, has anyone ever told you that you are very handsome?"

Ji Chiqian's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, but he didn't speak and walked straight to the parking area.

After putting Lu Ning in the passenger seat, he returned to the driver's seat.

After he settled in, he looked at her awkwardly and said, "Seatbelt."

Lu Ning blinked: "Yes, seat belts, life belts!"

When she reached for the seatbelt, she couldn't pull it out no matter what she did. How strange.

Ji Chiqian couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he leaned over and fastened her seatbelt.

The two were very close at that moment.

He could smell the beer on her.

She could see the length of his eyelashes.

Lu Ning held her breath, and in a moment of impulse, she hugged his arm.

Ji Chiqian paused, turned his head, and saw her clear, almond-shaped eyes.

His Adam's apple bobbed slightly: "How..."

Lu Ning leaned over and kissed him. After doing so, she was extremely nervous.

He remained motionless, the streetlights outside blurring his profile, making it difficult to discern his expression.

Lu Ning stammered, "Master, if you didn't have a girlfriend, what do you think of me?"

Ji Chiqian's pupils contracted sharply.

He recoiled as if struck by lightning.

His hand rested on the steering wheel: "You're drunk."

After Ji Chiqian finished speaking, he started the car and drove towards the apartment.

They didn't say a word the whole way.

Ji Chiqian's emotions calmed down after a long time, and the car stopped at the traffic light.

He turned his head to look at the passenger seat, only to find that Lu Ning had already fallen asleep.

In all his years, he had never felt so conflicted, and yet she had fallen asleep.

Hopefully, she won't remember what happened when she wakes up tomorrow.

Ji Chiqian drove back to the apartment and carried Lu Ning back to her room.

He looked at Lu Ning lying on the bed, helped her take off her high heels, and pulled the sheet over her.

He stood by the bed for a while, his eyes filled with complex and profound emotions.

As Ji Chiqian turned to leave, he heard her voice behind him: "Mom, I want some water."

He paused, and when he heard her sweetly call out "Mom," he felt as if he couldn't breathe.

Ji Chiqian went to pour a glass of water.

He sat on the edge of the bed and helped Lu Ning sit up to drink water.

After Lu Ning finished drinking the water, she hugged him tightly and said, "Mom, I missed you so much. You're the only one who's ever been good to me."

Ji Chiqian gripped the cup tightly in his hand.

At this moment, he felt as if he were in the deep sea, slowly sinking downwards, never to be reborn.

Late at night, the light from outside shone into the room through the window.

Ji Chiqian looked at the sleeping girl and vaguely sensed that something had changed.

The next morning.

Lu Ning woke up with a splitting headache, rubbing her dizzy head.

Did I drink too much last night?

She secretly drank a little bit when Ji Chiqian wasn't around, but she didn't remember anything after that.

Lu Ning realized she was still wearing yesterday's dress, which felt a little uncomfortable being so tight.

She quickly took a shower, and then she felt a little better.

Lu Ning still couldn't remember what happened when she got drunk.

She opened her phone and saw the news report about her identity being exposed yesterday.

[The true identity of famous livestreamer Lemon Sweetie: She's actually the eldest daughter of the Lu family!]

Lu Ning knew that her identity would definitely be exposed after participating in the event.

She didn't even try to hide anything.

It's good that she's been exposed; otherwise, the rumors about her having a sugar daddy would never be cleared up.

As for Lu Liu's confident statement that she would definitely join Lu Tian's team, she was severely ridiculed and slapped in the face.

Just then, her phone rang.

The phone number looks familiar; it should be Lu Liu's number.

Lu Ning hung up without answering. A slight smile played on her lips. Where did Lu Liu get the nerve to think she would definitely join Lu Tian's team?

But she kept receiving private message notifications popping up in the background of the game forum.

[Lu Ning, answer the phone! You're afraid to even answer the phone, are you feeling guilty?]

[Lu Ning, I order you to immediately explain to the media that you were the one who kept pestering me to join Lu Tian's team.]
