Chapter 144: Let Us Get Married, Okay?

The atmosphere was quiet as they headed back to the villa after Lu Jingzhi had a couple of drinks with his friends.

Lu Jingzhi leaned back against the backseat and his body exuded the sweet scent of red wine.

“Are you sleepy?” Jiang Yuning asked as she held his hand. “Do you want to rest your head on my lap?”

Lu Jingzhi did not reply and all that could be heard was the sound of his heavy breathing. After a short while, Lu Jingzhi suddenly spoke, “Yuning…”

“Yes?” Jiang Yuning replied. “What is wrong?”

“Nothing,” Lu Jingzhi replied as he sighed.

“Actually, when I heard your good friends talking about how you have never experienced being in any relationships during your schooling days, I…I can only think that it is so regrettable. I wish that I had the opportunity to be involved in your life. Therefore, I was thinking about it when we were having dinner. I thought about how perfect it would have been if I had known about our feelings for one another earlier…I could have washed your dirty socks for you during high school, I could have looked for you and have lunch with you during your lunch breaks, and we could have just hidden under a tree in the woods during your break, and held hands and done some bad things together,” Jiang Yuning said, filled with regrets.

“It’s okay. Even if I have never experienced all of that, you are still the only woman who has ever gotten this close to me,” Lu Jingzhi replied as he opened his eyes and pulled Jiang Yuning into a hug.

“Second brother…when you called my name earlier…are you about to say what I am thinking in my mind right now?” Jiang Yuning asked as she raised her head to look up at Lu Jingzhi.

“Do you know what I am thinking about?”

“I want to…get married,” Jiang Yuning replied in a very serious manner.

Lu Jingzhi, who was initially sleepy, was suddenly jolted wide awake.

“I know that you have been suppressing your own thoughts and desires because you are worried about me, but I have told you before and I mean it when I said that I can become Mrs. Lu now even though I am still young. I want to be a part of your life. You have already waited so many years before finally getting to be with me. I do not want to wait any longer. Let us get married, okay?”

Lu Jingzhi could only feel a string tugging at his heart after listening to Jiang Yuning’s words.

His palms started sweating and Jiang Yuning could feel it as she held onto his hand.

Though he wanted to marry her, he did not want to marry her so casually.

This was because there were so many things that he wanted Jiang Yuning to have.

“Second brother…”

“Okay, let us get married, but you would have to follow my arrangements,” Lu Jingzhi finally answered after a long consideration.

Jiang Yuning could finally relax after hearing Lu Jingzhi’s answer.

Lu Jingzhi hugged Jiang Yuning tightly in his arms and he was feeling very excited but he had to hold his excitement back. After entering the gates of the villa, he told the driver, “You can get off work now.”

Jiang Yuning would become his wife soon and from then on, both of them would be linked together for life.

…

On the other hand, Jian Shaoqi had just returned home and the first thing that he did was to barge into the garbage’s room, directly interrupting whatever he was doing with a female model.

“Elder brother…it is already so late at night. Can you at least knock before entering my room?” the second young master of the Jian family asked as he quickly used the quilt to cover himself and the woman behind him.

“I will leave after saying a few words. There is an actress named Mu Xian. Is she your woman?” Jian Shaoqi asked immediately.

“Yes…she is. What happened?”

“Did she ask you to arrange for some people to deal with Jiang Yuning?” Jian Shaoqi continued questioning.

“She did request that I help her to do that. There is apparently a conflict between them,” the second young master of the Jian family replied honestly as he nodded his head. This was because he had always idolized and worshipped his elder brother ever since he was young and he wanted to impress his elder brother.
