Chapter 163 - 163: Do You Like Me Secretly? Do You Covet Me in



Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Jiang Yining did indeed have such thoughts when she invited him to the beach.

She wanted Lu Zhi to reconcile with his mother.

This way, Shen Man would open up completely and tell her more about Lu Beicheng.

However…

More than anything else, she wanted to open Lu Zhi’s heart so that he no longer held any resentment.

Jiang Yining knew better than anyone how tiring it was to live with resentment.

Lu Zhi looked at her without blinking and said, “Jiang Yining, the matter between my mother and me is not as simple as you say. You don’t know the inside story, so don’t interfere in my matters with her.”

Today, at the old mansion, he did not embarrass his mother because of her.

But that was all.

It was impossible for him to reconcile with his mother in this lifetime.

“I don’t understand. Tell me. I’ve already told you about my matters, so you should tell me too.” Jiang Yining reached out and poked his chest gently. She said, “Lu Zhi, you’ll get sick if you hold it in here for too long. If you tell me, you’ll feel much better.”

Her finger seemed to have poked his heart.

Lu Zhi’s body tensed up.

Jiang Yining retracted her hand as if nothing had happened and continued to open a can of beer to drink.

The sea breeze blew, gently brushing the hair on her temples.

It also stirred up Lu Zhi’s frozen memories.

Lu Zhi was silent for a long time before he whispered, “You should have heard some rumors about her.”

“Yes, I have. She liked someone else and wanted to divorce your father. But this is no big deal, right? There are so many divorced couples in the modern world. Did all of them turn against their children?”

“Even if you didn’t understand your parents’ choices when you were young, you should understand and be relieved when you grow up, right?” Jiang Yining asked frankly.

“Just a divorce is not enough to make me hate her to the core.” Lu Zhi curled his lips and smiled coldly. He paused for a moment before saying, “Ever since Grandma stopped her from eloping with her lover, she’s been ignoring Beicheng and me. She chased away the maids in the house, so no one knew that Beicheng and I often went hungry.”

“I’m five years older than Beicheng. 1 can tolerate it, but what about Beicheng? He was only a few months old and was still a baby… he often cried out of hunger.”

“One time, she went crazy and strangled Beicheng, wanting to kill him.”

“If I didn’t find out and stop her, I’m afraid Beicheng would already be dead.”

“Even a vicious tiger won’t eat its cubs, but what about her? She even wanted to strangle her own child, who was still in swaddling clothes. How vicious was she?”

Lu Zhi gripped the bottle tightly, his eyes filled with unconcealable hatred.

Jiang Yining didn’t expect this to be the reason.

It was no wonder that he did not care about his birth mother and allowed Old Madam Lu to humiliate her.

Jiang Yining held her chin and asked, “Is there a misunderstanding? You also said that even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs. Your mother had no reason to be so ruthless to the two of you, right?”

When she interacted with Shen Man, she did not think that Shen Man was a ruthless person who would even kill her own child.

“I saw it with my own eyes. What misunderstanding can there be? Don’t be deceived by her weak appearance.” Lu Zhi’s voice was icy cold as he said, “I won’t treat her as my mother in the future. Don’t be silly and let her use you as a weapon.”

Jiang Yining knew that there was no way to untie the knot in his heart if they continued to talk.

Unless she could find the reason why Shen Man was so ruthless to the two brothers.

Therefore, she did not continue this topic.

Instead, she picked up a new bottle of beer and handed it to him.

“Alright, let’s not talk about these unhappy things. Let’s continue drinking. We’re both people who have fallen from grace. We won’t go home until we’re drunk!”

As she spoke, she forcefully held his hand and clinked his bottle with hers.

Lu Zhi stared at her deeply as if he wanted to envelop her tiny figure in his eyes.

One bottle after another, a whole stack of beer was emptied after a long time.

Jiang Yining felt a little dizzy as she looked at the boundless sea. She patted Lu Zhi’s shoulder, climbed onto his back, and wrapped her arms around his neck. She said, “Lu Zhi, carry me on your back.”

Lu Zhi dragged her leg with one hand and supported himself with the other.

He stood up and took one step at a time.

They walked along the golden beach.

Jiang Yining leaned her head against his neck and muttered, “I spent my twelfth birthday with Jiang Rou at the beach. That night, after eating the barbeque, Jiang Rou and 1 were very sleepy. Finally, Gu Zhanqing came. He carried Jiang Rou on his back and walked towards the hotel bedroom. 1 followed behind them in a daze and looked at them… 1 thought that one day, I would also find someone to carry me behind his back like how he carried Jiang Rou…”

She really envied Jiang Rou.

She was very envious… truly envious…

The softest part of Lu Zhi’s heart was occupied by her.

He said in a low, clear voice, “In the future, every year on your birthday, I’ll carry you on my back and walk around the beach like this.”

“Sure.” Jiang Yining giggled.

Her little head rubbed against his neck.

Lu Zhi curled his lips slightly and revealed a faint smile.

A long trail of footprints was left on the beach.

Lu Zhi stopped at the end of the beach.

“Shall we go back?” he asked.

In the end, what greeted his eyes was Jiang Yining’s peaceful sleeping face.

She no longer had the mischievousness she had when she was awake, only softness was left.

Lu Zhi put her down and hugged her. Then, he lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.

“Jiang Yining, stay by my side from now on. I won’t let you get hurt again.”

All the hardships she had suffered in the past would be filled with happiness in the future.

He would let her be happy for the rest of her life.

Jiang Yining, who was sleeping, seemed to feel a little cold.

She shrank into his embrace.

Her fair wrist was tightly wrapped around him.

Lu Zhi sighed and carried her.

He strode back.

When Jiang Yining woke up again, she only felt a splitting headache.

She raised her hand and rubbed her head before rolling away.

Thump.

Her body fell to the ground and she cried out in pain.

She got up and realized that she was already home.

This was her familiar bedroom.

After thinking for a while, she remembered that she had dragged Lu Zhi to the beach for a drink and had some heart-to-heart talk with him.

After that, she drank until she was dizzy…

She had no recollection of what happened after that.

Lu Zhi must have sent her back when she was drunk.

Jiang Yining regretted drinking so much and making herself feel so uncomfortable.

Dragging her exhausted body, she walked to the living room downstairs.

She wanted the chef to prepare some hangover soup for her.

However, she did not expect Lu Zhi to walk up to her with a bowl and say, “Do you feel uncomfortable? 1 told you not to drink so much.”

Jiang Yining took it and replied, “It’s just a little uncomfortable. I’ll be fine after resting for a while.”

Lu Zhi curled his lips and asked, “Don’t you remember what happened after you got drunk?”

Jiang Yining looked up at him in confusion.

Lu Zhi bent down slightly and leaned close to her cheek. He slowly said, “After you drank, you insisted on kissing me. I didn’t let you kiss me, so you started sobbing. Jiang Yining, tell me honestly, do you secretly like me and covet me in your heart? So, you’re using your drunkenness to get close to me?”

Pfft!

Jiang Yining spat out all the soup she had just drunk..
