"Don't ask me that, " Lu Jingzhi replied in three brief words as he picked up his glass of wine and drank the whole glass immediately.
For him, what was even more painful than losing his mother was the fact that the girl that he was in love him hated him. He was only nineteen years old then and he had spent all of his nights and days drinking and relying on alcohol to get him through the endless nights. After building up his tolerance for alcohol, he drank simply because he felt lonely. However, all this no longer mattered because Jiang Yuning was now in his arms and she would stay by his side for the rest of his life.
"Hehehe... did you learn how to drink because of me?" Jiang Yuning asked as she cozied up against Lu Jingzhi.
Lu ingenious seized the opportunity to grab hold of her chin before he brushed his lips gently against hers. After that, he replied, "All the irrational emotions that I have only exist because of you alone."
Jiang Yuning almost burst into tears when she heard Lu Jingzhi's sentence.
"Fortunately..."
"Fortunately, you saved me." Lu Jingzhi said the sentence before Jiang Yuning could finished speaking.
Jiang Yuning held back her tears and she choked as she said, "Didn't you save me too? Second Brother, can we finally let go of the past after tonight? I don't want you to always fall back into those days and relive those sad memories of when you were all alone. That makes me really sad. You were Lu Jingzhi and I was Jiang Yuning before you were twenty-eight years old, but now, after the age of twenty-eight, both of us are now Lu Jingzhi and Jiang Yuning. We belong together."
Lu Jingzhi embraced Jiang Yuning tightly in his arm as though she was the one giving him all the warmth in his life.
They continued drinking wine and eating cake as they watched a movie together after reading the love letter that Jiang Yuning had written for him. That night, Jiang Yuning finally had the opportunity to see a completely different side of Lu Jingzhi. He was very relaxed and carefree as compared to the Lu Jingzhi that was serious and stern during the day.
Early the next morning, Sister Liang had the shock of her life when she entered the living room. She could not stop herself from gasping and she covered her mouth with her hand in shock.
This was the first time that she had ever seen Royal Dragon Villa in such a big mess ever since she started working there for such a long time.
There were wine bottles all over the floor and there were also traces of cake smeared all over the place. There were flowers and candles all over the floor and Jiang Yuning and Lu Jingzhi were cuddled together as they slept soundly on the sofa with a quilt wrapped around them.
Sister Liang thought for a brief moment before she stepped out of the house.
The couple must have had an intense birthday celebration last night.
A short while later, Secretary Ho arrived at Royal Dragon Villa and he stepped forward and spoke to Sister Liang when he saw her standing in front of the door."Sister Liang, why aren't you going into the house? Where is the principal?"
"Well, I am afraid... that Young Master will not be able to go to work today."
Secretary Ho was puzzled.
After that, Sister Liang locked the door of the Royal Dragon Villa.
In fact, Lu Jingzhi did not get drunk last night but he did drink a substantial amount of alcohol.
Therefore, it would definitely be difficult for him to get up and go to work today.
However, Jiang Yuning did not have a choice but to wake up as soon as her alarm rang because she had a magazine shoot to attend today.
When Jiang Yuning saw the mess in the living room, she quickly checked Lu Jingzhi's body for any suspicious traces or injuries. Fortunately, it seemed as though Jiang Yuning did not exert any force on Lu Jingzhi last night. However, when Jiang Yuning thought about how they had both rolled around in the living room...
"Well, based on the expression on your face, I guess you are thinking about what happened last night?"
Jiang Yuning blushed as soon as she heard Lu Jingzhi's words. She smacked him gently before she sat up and got up from the sofa."I have to get ready to go to work now, Second Brother. You can play by yourself today."
Lu Jingzhi looked at Jiang Yuning's back before he sat up on the sofa.
The previous night had been really crazy and intense.
However, he was very happy.
Both of them finally said what they had kept in their hearts for such a long time, and they finally did what they wanted to do.
Lu Jingzhi followed Jiang Yuning up the stairs and he came downstairs with the little descendant after the both of them were done washing up.
After opening the front door, they realized that the young paparazzo and Secretary Ho were already waiting for them outside. Both of them got into their own respective cars and left Royal Dragon Villa separately at that time.
"Principal, do you want to stay at home and rest today?" Secretary Ho suggested as he saw that Lu Jingzhi seemed to be a little tired and non-energetic today."Anyway, it is your birthday today..."
"No need, " Lu Jingzhi replied immediately.
"What is Young Mistress up to? Why isn't she accompanying you on your birthday?" Secretary Ho started complaining. He did not know about the intense and crazy activity that the couple had been up to last night.
At this time, Lu Jingzhi frowned as he glared at Secretary Ho. Secretary Ho was caught off-guard and he did not dare to say anything else anymore.
His life was over. It seemed as though the principal was in a bad mood today.
Secretary Ho would definitely suffer today.
...
However, even though Jiang Yuning was busy at her magazine shoot today, she posted a message on her social media account stating that she would be releasing her song at 2. 19 in the afternoon today.
@JiangJianglovestheScenery: The official studio recording of ~Holding Hearts~ will be released later in the afternoon today!
[Wow! Empress Jiang, so many months have already passed by. We thought that you have forgotten about it!]
[I am glad that you remember to release the song to the public!]
[The song is really beautiful. I really love listening to this song. Sister Yuning is really very talented!]
[When will you be releasing your next song?]
[Do you all remember how Jiang Yuning said that she wrote this song for a very important person? Can I make a bold guess that there must definitely be some progress in her relationship and that is the reason why she has chosen this special date to release her song?]
When Empress Jiang saw the comment posted by the netizen, she almost had a heart attack. However, she managed to calm herself down and maintained her composure. After all, if anyone could really deduce who she was dedicating the song to, then she would be more than willing to admit to it.
Second Brother's identity was a top secret anyway!
Who would know that February 19 was Lu Jingzhi's birthday anyway?
Therefore, Jiang Yuning no longer paid any attention to the comments posted in respond to her posts. This was until...
A netizen using the user ID, @Scenery suddenly posted a comment on Jiang Yuning's post. Although he did not say much, his user ID somehow attracted the attention of the other netizens.
[Sister Yuning's user ID is @JiangJiangLovestheScenery and it just so happens that his user ID is @Scenery?]
[He has only posted 2 posts using that user ID, so I think that it is not that big a deal anyway. I have seen a lot of different user IDs with the word scenery in it. They are usually Sister Yuning's fans. ]
[Exactly! There is nothing to worry about here. ]
Jiang Yuning wondered how the netizens would feel when they found out how close they were to finding out the truth.
When Secretary Ho saw the news, he realized that he had seriously misunderstood Jiang Yuning.
Wasn't she releasing her song today just to confess her love to the principal?
Moreover, Lu Jingzhi had a slight smile on his face today. It was an absolutely beautiful sight!
...
Jiang Yuning finally completed her magazine shoot at seven o'clock that night.
Vera stopped by the recording studio to pick Jiang Yuning up from work.
"You should be more careful when posting anything on your social media account in the future. Since the media has exposed the fact that you are currently living in Royal Dragon Villa, I am afraid that they will find out more information if you accidentally posts anything that will justify all of their assumptions, " Vera said as she stared at Jiang Yuning."Moreover, the fans are now all so adamant on creating a love line for you and discovering who your love interest is. If you continue doing something so obvious as what you did earlier today, you will get caught easily..."
"I think the netizens have already found out the truth, " the young paparazzo said as he handed his cell phone over to Jiang Yuning.
Initially, the person using the user ID: @Scenery had simply reposted Jiang Yuning's post. Although this attracted the netizens' attention at first, the netizens had already overlooked the matter a short while later.
However, when someone discovered that @Scenery's birthday was on February 19, this quickly caught the attention of the netizens and the passers-by once again.
[Ah! Ah! Ah! Do you think that this is Empress Jiang's wild man?]
[Hahaha. Who is using this account? He is actually trying so hard to get the netizens' attention! Hahaha... ]
Jiang Yuning was dumbstruck.
Sure enough, if you really do not want people to find out, then you should not be doing all this!
