Chapter 293: You Hid It Too Well, Right?
He has obsessive compulsive disorder, but no matter what, he would never abandon his own wife. The list the descendant had selflessly put her own life at stake to go out to help the people who needed her help. He was already extremely proud of her. So, would this little bit of dirt matter to him?
However, as soon as he thought about her being in danger, the fear of her leaving him for good overwhelmed him and he could feel a tight knot in his chest.
Did she even know how important she was to him?
She was literally making him jump and worry for her everyday, even when she was on set recording for her program. What could he do so she would value and cherish her own life more?
Jiang Yuning continued studying the expression on Lu Jingzhi’s face as she undressed herself.
In fact, she knew exactly what was going through Lu Jingzhi’s mind and what he was worried about.
However, there were certain things that she could not give up and that she would have to continue doing despite knowing that Lu Jingzhi would be worried because that was basic human nature.
“Second Brother, can you stop being upset already? Please?”
Lu Jingzhi took a deep breath. He did not know how to handle her anymore.
In an attempt to wash all his worries away, Jiang Yuning hurriedly took a shower and washed off all the dirt and mud on her body before she came out of the bathroom wrapped in a clean bathrobe.
At this time, Lu Jingzhi immediately took out the hair dryer as he beckoned for Jiang Yuning to come over to his side.
Jiang Yuning quickly sat down in Lu Jingzhi’s embrace as he enjoyed the gentle care and love of the man before her.
“Second Brother, I am so exhausted,” Jiang Yuning replied as she leaned back against Lu Jingzhi’s chest.
“Dry your hair before you sleep.”
“Just let me close my eyes for a moment. Just one short moment.”
It had been an extremely thrilling and exciting day for Jiang Yuning. As she was running around to save and help the people in need, it had been very tiring for her physically. Therefore, in a matter of a few seconds, Jiang Yuning had already fallen asleep in Lu Jingzhi’s arms.
Lu Jingzhi felt very helpless and there was nothing that he could do but to hug the little descendant tightly in his arms as he continued blow drying her hair for her.
As Jiang Yuning fell into deep sleep, there was an unsettled expression on her face and her brows were knitted tightly together like an old woman as she mumbled, “Second Brother…Second Brother…”
At this time, Lu Jingzhi’s heart melted immediately.
All the anger and frustration that he had felt disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After putting the hairdryer away, Lu Jingzhi kissed Jiang Yuning gently on her lips before he carried her up in his arms and placed her on the big and soft bed.
…
The other participants and hotel guests who were camping out in the hotel lobby earlier had also returned to their respective bedrooms one after another. Since the rescue team had already arrived at the island to take over and provide the necessary aid to the refugees, they could finally step back and rest after a long and tedious day.
However, Xu Beishen and Vera were placed in an extremely awkward situation.
Since they were sharing a room with Jiang Yuning, their luggage and clothes were all inside the room right now.
“Why don’t you knock?”
“You knock instead!”
Both of them exchanged glances with one another and neither dared to knock on the door of the suite.
When Lu Jingzhi heard the two girls whispering right outside the door, he took the initiative to open the door instead. “Is there anything you need?”
“Erm…Second Young Master Lu, we just want to grab something,” Vera replied in a flustered manner.
Lu Jingzhi did not reply but he had a cold expression on his face. After that, he turned around and walked into Jiang Yuning’s room before he closed her bedroom door and kept watch by the side of her bed.
Vera and Xu Beishen heaved a huge sigh of relief as they quickly grabbed their luggage and headed into the next room to take a bath in order to finally change into clean and fresh new clothes.
After the arrival of Second Young Master Lu, it felt as though the air in the entire hotel had become thinner.
If Jiang Yuning did not exist in this world, Vera really could not comprehend if there was anyone else in the world who could control someone like Lu Jingzhi.
On the other hand, Secretary Ho had already found the director and also the members of the production team.
The production team and director were also shocked at Lu Jingzhi’s sudden appearance. When they found out about the relationship between Jiang Yuning and Lu Jingzhi, they were all in a state of panic. This was bad. Would they be silenced because of how they treated Jiang Yuning?
“You don’t have to panic.”
How could they stay calm and not panic? That was Lu Jingzhi! The heir of the Lu family!
He could get rid of them and dispose them from the entertainment industry just by raising a fingers.
“As long as you pretend that you did not see him here today, and as long as you can ensure that none of the production crew or cast members will reveal anything about his presence here today or his relationship with Miss Jiang, then there is nothing to worry about.”
The production team members and director rubbed their shiny bald heads before they nodded in consensus. “Okay, that shouldn’t be a problem at all. Please assure Mr. Lu that we will handle this matter in a discreet manner. But…we have already abused Mrs. Lu for some many episodes now. Do you think Mr. Lu will hold it against us?”
“Well…I cannot be too sure about that,” Secretary Ho replied.
After listening to Secretary Ho’s answer, some of the production team members were so shocked that they almost fell off their chairs.
Secretary Ho could not help but laugh before he patted the shoulders of some of those men.
“Don’t worry…our Second Young Master Lu will not create unnecessary trouble for anyone.”
“That’s good to know. That is really good to know.”
“On the other hand, I feel as though we should apologize instead for causing your receding hairlines,” Secretary Ho replied as he stared at the shiny head of the production team members and director.
The production team was relieved and after discussing the matter, they decided to get the production cast and crew to sign a confidentiality agreement.
They had to ensure their own safety.
The other hotel guests would not be within their jurisdiction and concern and that was the reason why Secretary Ho was having a headache.
However, it would not be that difficult to handle them.
Secretary Ho was already used to it.
The rescue team was still busy at work outside the vicinity of the hotel. The production team also made plans to evacuate the participants and to bring them back to Luo City after the weather conditions stabilized. Although they had only managed to successfully film half of the fifth issue of , the director and production team decided to withhold the recording and withdraw back to Luo City first for the time being to ensure everyone’s safety.
Moreover, after experiencing a natural disaster such as this, the production team had actually came up with several other ideas.
…
Very soon, it was already late in the evening and at this time, the sky was bright orange because of the glowing sunset.
Jiang Yuning felt the light reflecting against her face and she quickly sat up on her bed. At this time, everyone had already gotten ready to evacuate and Jiang Yuning was the only one who was still fast asleep in bed.
“Second Brother…has the rain stopped already?”
“Yes,” Lu Jingzhi replied as he nodded his head. Then, he walked over to her bedside before he sat down beside her and said, “It is time for you to get up already. We can go home after you wash up and get ready to leave.”
“The show…”
“Do you really think they would continue recording the show under these kind of circumstances? They have asked you to wait for further notification.”
Jiang Yuning nodded and at this time, she suddenly thought of the rest of the participants. They must know about of the relationship between herself and Lu Jingzhi now.
“Second Brother, do the production cast and crew know about our relationship?”
“What do you think?” Lu Jingzhi asked her instead.
“I wanted to keep a low profile.”
“Did you think about keeping a low profile when you went out in the thunderstorm to help those in need?”
Jiang Yuning took the opportunity to place her hands around Lu Jingzhi’s waist as she pulled herself up. “But in this case, anyone who is in that situation would definitely feel sad and try to help as much as they can.”
“I do not care about anyone else. I only care about you.” Lu Jingzhi hugged her and patted her back gently but when he saw the hesitant look on her face, he continued speaking. “But it does not matter anymore. I am very proud of you.”
Jiang Yuning smiled with a relieved expression on her face.
“Get up and get ready so we can go home.”
“What about everyone else?” Jiang Yuning asked as she got out of bed.
“What about them?”
Jiang Yuning stopped speaking immediately and she quickly washed up and packed her luggage before she passed her luggage over to the man standing before her.
In fact, Jin Mingchen and a few of the other participants were just standing right outside her suite door at this time. However, they did not dare to even look or greet Lu Jingzhi when they saw him.
As Lu Jingzhi walked forward with Jiang Yuning’s luggage in his hand, he could tell that Jiang Yuning wanted to speak with her friends. Therefore, he lowered his head and whispered into Jiang Yuning’s ear, “I will give you five minutes. I will be waiting for you at the back door.”
“I got it.”
Everyone stared as Lu Jingzhi left with Jiang Yuning’s luggage in his hand.
“Sister Yuning…you hid it too well, right?” Jin Mingchen exclaimed as he gave Jiang Yuning a thumbs up. “My Sister Yuning is really the best. Out of all the men in the world, she chose the best and most eligible man in the entire Luo City.”
“Of course!” Jiang Yuning replied with a smug expression on her face.
