It was very foggy early the next morning as it was still raining in Luo City because of the recent typhoon.
Lu Jingzhi did not wake Jiang Yuning up from her sleep, but he simply carried her up in his arms and wrapped her up in a blanket before placing her in the car. Lu Jingzhi only woke the little descendant up from her sleep once they arrived at the cemetery.
“Um…Second Brother, where are we?” Jiang Yuning asked as she was startled. “Oh no. Why didn’t you wait for me to wake up, wash up, and get dressed before coming to see Mom again?”
“I have already prepared everything for you in the bag,” Lu Jingzhi replied as he handed a paper bag over to Jiang Yuning. “I will give you ten minutes to get ready.”
Jiang Yuning quickly took the bag in her hand and changed into a new set of clothing before she stepped out of the car. She held tightly onto Lu Jingzhi’s arms as she stood under the umbrella that he was holding as she whispered, “Second Brother, it’s so cold out here.”
“Hold onto the umbrella.” Lu Jingzhi handed the umbrella over to Jiang Yuning before he took off his suit jacket and placed it over the little descendant.
“What about you then?”
At this time, Lu Jingzhi reached out his hand and wrapped his arms around Jiang Yuning’s shoulder before he took the umbrella from her. “I will not feel cold as long as I am holding you in my arms.”
This was the second time that Jiang Yuning was visiting Lu Jingzhi’s mother at the cemetery after she had passed away. She had also brought the flowers that Secretary Ho had prepared to pay her respects to Lu Jingzhi’s mother.
When they arrived at her tombstone, both of them stood in front of the tombstone as they stared at the smiling picture of Lu Jingzhi’s mother that was placed there. It still felt as though she was still around and had never left this world at all.
Jiang Yuning squatted down and placed the flowers in front of the tombstone before she greeted in a respectful manner, “Mom, I am Yuning. I am finally here to see you again. So many things have happened in the past few years, so please forgive me for not being able to see you for the last time, okay?”
“Second Brother and I have finally gotten married. I had wanted to bring our marriage certificate along with me today so that I can show it to you, but Second Brother did not wake me up and that is why I could not prepare anything for you at all. I even look like an ugly daughter-in-law as I am paying my respects to you.”
Lu Jingzhi embraced Jiang Yuning tightly in his arm as he listened to her conversation with his mother.
He was a man who was not good with words.
Therefore, Lu Jingzhi greatly appreciated everything that Jiang Yuning was doing.
“Mom, I have brought your daughter-in-law here to see you today.”
“I still remember that one of your last words to me before you left this world was to tell me how much you liked Yuning. At that time, I did not tell you that I really liked her too. Now, I have finally fulfilled your last wish. This girl is finally your daughter-in-law.”
“She is very nice and very obedient too. Sometimes, she can be really witty, though she can also be very silly at times too. She is also very cute.”
“I do not want anything else in my life. All that I ask for is for her to stay by my side for the rest of my life. I do not know how long I will live in this world, but I know that the only thing that I need is for her to be with me.”
“I cannot live without her.”
Lu Jingzhi rubbed Jiang Yuning’s head gently as he spoke to his mother. “Mom said that she is very happy.”
“How do you know that?”
“Because mother and child are always connected at heart,” Lu Jingzhi replied as he smiled.
Jiang Yuning placed her arms around Lu Jingzhi’s waist and smiled as she looked into his eyes, “We should come to visit her more often, then.”
“No, it’s okay. We will come and see her again the next time we have good news.”
“Huh?”
Lu Jingzhi pushed Jiang Yuning aside before he stared at her lower abdomen.
Jiang Yuning understood Lu Jingzhi’s meaning immediately and she glared at him before she said, “It is still too early for that.”
“The time will come eventually.”
The little fox started blushing before she buried herself into Lu Jingzhi’s arms once again. “Well, we will come and visit Mom again when the time comes, then.”
The two of them then walked slowly under the umbrella as they left the cemetery. Secretary Ho could not help but sigh as he walked quietly behind the couple. “This loving couple is really very enviable.”
…
After returning to the villa, Jiang Yuning received a phone call from Vera. “The production team of wants everyone to gather to continue filming the second half of the program’s fifth issue tomorrow.”
The scheduling of the filming was perfect, as Jiang Yuning would definitely be able to attend Wen Tong’s birthday party.
However, since Jin Mingchen’s identity as a spy had already been exposed, what would the production team decide to do then? Would they select another participant to be the spy instead?
After knowing about Lu Jingzhi making an appearance during the last filming, Jin Mingchen was slightly more cautious this time as he approached Jiang Yuning. He only dared to grabbed the corner of her clothes and he trembled a little as he spoke to her, “Sister Yuning, does Brother-in-Law knows that…I am always sticking to you?”
“Of course,” Jiang Yuning replied immediately.
“So, wouldn’t he…want to kill me then?”
“Well, if you know how to keep your hands and feet to yourself, then I guess…he probably would not kill you, then.”
“Then, tell me where I should place my hands and feet!” Jin Mingchen replied with a panicked expression on his face.
Everyone around them burst out in laughter.
The recording of the second half of the program’s fifth issue continued in a smooth manner. Although Jin Mingchen was already suspected to be the spy, the general framework of the entire game plan had not collapsed due to the production team and the director’s clever arrangement. They had made some changes to the mission and the rules of the game so that there would not be an issue at all.
After the recording of the fifth issue, also announced a start up conference that would be held half a month later. This only meant that Jiang Yuning and Xiao Chennan would both be regarded to participate in the filming soon.
Not only would they be filming the drama, but they would also be actively participating in the publicity events and activities, the commercials, and all the other interviews that would be subsequently arranged by the director and the production crew. Therefore, Wen Tong’s birthday party would be one of Jiang Yuning’s last few private gatherings before she commenced filming for the second half of the year.
Jiang Yuning could feel herself being in a state of panic and depression as soon as she thought about the filming. This was because she had to leave Lu Jingzhi behind again.
This time, the filming location was not close to Luo City at all, so even if Lu Jingzhi wanted to visit her at her filming set, he would not be able to come to her every day like he had in the past while she was filming .
Sob sob…
If her fans felt as though they could not carry on with their lives without seeing her, then Jiang Yuning felt that she was dying inside when she could not see Lu Jingzhi.
No. She would have to prepare more short videos of him.
…
Wen Tong finally returned to the country two days later.
She had not a single clue about the secret arrangement for her birthday party at all. In fact, she really thought that everything was going to proceed accordingly to what Wen Luo had told her over the phone. She thought that this matter had nothing to do with the Gao family at all and Wen Luo was only going to invite some handsome young guys over to keep her company so that she could have some fun.
After Wen Tong arrived back at the Gao family mansion, she realized that Gao Mengjin had the same routine as he did before. He left the house early in the morning and he only came back home late at night. Everything was still the same.
She felt extremely depressed when she looked at her husband.
Later that evening, Wen Luo went over to the Gao family mansion to have dinner with Wen Tong. He spent the whole night badmouthing the Gao family and Gao Mengjin. “Sister, I am telling you that you must definitely have a lot of fun during your birthday party tomorrow night. I really want to annoy and frustrate that scumbag. I have also invited Sister-in-Law over to accompany you tomorrow.”
“Wow. It is so rare that you know how to honor me and make me happy,” Wen Tong chuckled as she leaned against the back of the sofa.
“I have already found out about what happened to my niece. That is why I really hate the Gao family and I really want to destroy them with my bare hands. I must get back at them for all that they have done to hurt you.”
The expression on Wen Tong’s face changed as soon as she heard Wen Luo mentioning his niece.
“I have already forgotten about that matter since a long time ago.”
“How can you forget something like that? You should not just forget it! The Wen family would never let something like that go so easily. We have to deal with that scumbag and the Gao family for everything that they have done to let you down. How can they just mess around with the Wen family?” Wen Luo continued putting on an act because he was afraid that Wen Tong would get suspicious.
His sister had a very high EQ.
“I got it.” Wen Tong nodded in agreement because she did not want Wen Luo to continue talking about this matter.
Moreover, she really wanted to see the expression on Gao Mengjin’s face when he saw her having fun and spending time with those handsome young man. That would be a very interesting experience for her.
Wen Luo was immediately relieved when he saw that Wen Tong did not have any doubts at all.
It wasn’t that he did not hate Gao Mengjin at all. After all, that scumbag had not stepped up to protect his sister in the past. However, Wen Luo was aware that the main culprit in this matter was the old demon of the Gao family.
