Those cars parked in good spots don't seem suspicious at first glance.

But Jiang Mian could tell that none of the cars had been turned off.

In this heat, if the engine is turned off and the air conditioning stops, I could die in the car.

Without even a second thought, there must be someone in the car carrying long lenses and cameras.

Jiang Mian had no intention of joining them.

In fact, the matter could have been resolved with a simple phone call to inform Lu Bozhou.

But unfortunately... Jiang Mian's phone ran out of battery.

With only a tiny bit of battery left, I dialed the number, but before it even connected... the old phone's screen went black.

The only option was to find a way to sneak into the elegant banquet.

Thanks to her past life, she had been here quite often. Whenever the Lu family had a family gathering, they would arrange it at Ya Yan.

She found it very difficult to stay at the Lu family banquet and even tried to sneak away through a hidden exit.

I'm fairly familiar with the route, but I didn't expect that five years have passed and the Elegant Banquet Hall hasn't changed much.

Jiang Mian successfully blended in.

Meng Yang said that Lin Sisi instructed them to stake out the west side of the building...

Jiang Mian headed towards the west corridor of the elegant banquet hall, passing through one banquet hall and private room after another.

While the waiters were serving food or bringing out hot towels, I secretly peeked inside, but couldn't see anything amiss.

"Could the information be wrong? Or has the situation changed?" Jiang Mian was somewhat uncertain.

She walked towards the restroom at the end of the corridor, which was right next to the stairwell. There should be an emergency charging station there where she could charge her phone.

But before they even reached the stairwell, they had only just passed the bathroom door.

A tall, slender figure emerged from inside.

His steps were very unsteady, he staggered, as if he was about to fall down at any moment, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he wobbled a bit.

Unexpectedly, he bumped into Jiang Mian!

"Hey..." She instinctively wanted to push him away, but quickly froze.

The familiar, heavy, and domineering scent of ebony and agarwood wafted into Jiang Mian's breath.

She looked up in surprise...

Lu Bozhou!

For some reason, the hand that was originally meant to push him away turned into one that supported him.

Lu Bozhou didn't look well. His usually indifferent face was now furrowed between his brows, and a layer of fine sweat was on his forehead.

No wonder his steps were so unsteady, as if he was about to lose his footing.

Jiang Mian tried her best to steady him... Well, there are advantages to physical labor.

In my past life, I doubted I could have supported his tall frame.

Knowing that Lin Sisi was going to make a big move today, Jiang Mian quickly asked, "Mr. Lu, President Lu, are you alright?"

Lu Bozhou frowned, slightly opening his eyes, but his eyes were red and unfocused.

A man who is usually so indifferent, aloof, and superior.

This creates a stark contrast, making her appear somewhat helpless and vulnerable.

"...Get out of my way!" he said coldly. He was about to avoid her support and stand up straight on his own.

The result was naturally futile... I almost tripped and fell on the stairs.

Jiang Mian frowned as she watched, and could only quickly go over to support him.

That's when I noticed the room key he was holding in his hand.

The room key was black and gold, with Lu Bozhou's name printed on it.

It was a long-stay room he booked at the Ya Yan Hotel.

Jiang Mian clicked her tongue inwardly.

But she softened her tone, "Mr. Lu, let me take you back to your room."

Jiang Mian felt the body heat emanating from Lu Bozhou's shirt growing increasingly intense.

He could tell her to get lost before, but now he's completely silent.

It seems Lin Sisi did indeed do something...

Continuing this stalemate will only attract attention.

Jiang Mian helped him into the elevator.

Because the Ya Yan restaurant adopts a Chinese garden style, the buildings are not very tall.

Lu Bozhou's long-stay suite is located on the west side of the second floor.

It has a large floor-to-ceiling window that faces the most beautiful artificial lake in the garden.

From this floor-to-ceiling window, you can see the most beautiful sunset lake view.

I swiped the door to the suite and looked at the entire floor-to-ceiling window on the west side, which was completely unobstructed by curtains...

Jiang Mian immediately understood why Lin Sisi had released the information that the media should wait on the west side of the Ya Yan Lou restaurant...

If she and Lu Bozhou were to do something in front of this floor-to-ceiling window at that time...

For the reporters below, armed with their long lenses and microphones, capable of capturing even the smallest detail like a fly's leg...

They have virtually nowhere to hide.

That's really... a clever scheme.

Jiang Mian supported the man's tall body and stared at the floor-to-ceiling glass.

She looked around, searching for the remote control for the curtains.

Then, suddenly realizing something, she parted her lips and said softly, "Xiao Ai..."

"I'm here!" an electronic female voice immediately rang out.

"Close the curtains."

"Ok!"

Soon, the curtains on both sides of the large floor-to-ceiling window automatically closed towards the middle.

Finally, it was closed tightly! This blocked out the view of the starry lake outside.

It also blocked those eyes that were trying to spy!

Jiang Mian breathed a sigh of relief before she dared to help the man from the entrance hall to the large bed not far from the French windows.

After the curtains were closed, the room was extremely dark, with only the light from the motion-sensor nightlight in the corner and a reading lamp next to the recliner sofa.

Although the light was dim, it was enough for Jiang Mian to help Lu Bozhou toward the large bed.

She struggled to help the person to the bed, and just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief!

Suddenly, I was pulled by a violent force! My body was completely out of control as I fell onto the bed!

No! It wasn't just lunging towards the bed! It was lunging towards Lu Bozhou on the bed...

"Ah—!" Jiang Mian let out a gasp of surprise.

But she didn't pounce on the man! Because at the very last moment before she did...

The man suddenly rolled over.

Jiang Mian was pinned down underneath, trapped in the small space of his arms...!

Jiang Mian's eyes widened! In the dim light, she tried to see his expression and demeanor clearly.

She didn't care whether calling someone by their full name was polite or not; she lowered her voice and whispered, "Lu Bozhou! What are you doing!"

Jiang Mian was almost certain that Lin Sisi had definitely drugged Lu Bozhou!

She was his wife for three years in her past life! She even had a child with him! And in this very position right now! She knows it all too well!

She could clearly sense his poised and ready stance!

Jiang Mian's eyes widened.

But a burning hot hand covered her eyes.

The same scorching heat of breath and lips landed on her neck.

In an instant, Jiang Mian got goosebumps, as if even her spine was tingling and weak.

How could this be... even though I've changed bodies, I still can't resist this man?

Her eyelashes trembled slightly under the man's fingers, and hot tears slid down her cheeks.

Amidst her tense, defensive posture, Jiang Mian heard a faint sigh and a single sentence…

He nestled in the crook of her neck, his breath brushing against her skin.

The voice reached her ears, a soft murmur, sounding as if she were very aggrieved.

"You are finally back……"
