Chapter 230: I'm worried about you
"Brother Lu... what are you doing here?" Ji Meiqing was clearly very happy.
Lu Yu frowned. "The weather was bad today, and I wasn't by your side. You haven't gone home yet, and I was worried about you. I just got here and saw you were about to fall, so I quickly ran over and helped you up. How old are you? You're still so careless. You don't even carry a lantern. If you didn't fall, who would?"
Listening to Lu Yu's scolding, she felt inexplicably at ease, threw herself into his arms and said, "Lu Yu, it's so good to have you."
Seeing this, Lu Yu couldn't bear to scold her anymore and reached out to hug her. "Alright, alright, it's late at night and cold outside, let's go home." Lu Yu led Ji Meiqing home.
As soon as they got home, Ji Meiqing lay down on the bed and wouldn't get up. Lu Yu told her to take a shower, but she said, "All my brain cells are dead today. I need to recover. I won't shower now, I'll shower tomorrow." Lu Yu then told her to at least take off her shoes and clothes before sleeping. But there was no response. Lu Yu went in and couldn't help but smile wryly; she had fallen asleep. But sleeping in her clothes like that was definitely uncomfortable, so he reluctantly helped her take off her shoes and clothes. Why did he feel more like a slave than a wife?
Despite thinking this, Lu Yu still felt very happy, so he took a shower, hugged Ji Meiqing into bed, and fell asleep with her in his arms.
The next day, they all overslept. It was Grandma Mei who made breakfast and waited and waited, but the food got cold, so she finally woke them up.
After Ji Meiqing and Lu Yu finished breakfast, Ji Meiqing, who had been waiting to see the results of his work and had nothing to do, suggested that she and Lu Yu go see his latest brewed wine. Lu Yu thought it would be nice to have her by his side, so he readily agreed.
The two arrived at the experimental base, and Lu Yu brought out his latest product for Ji Meiqing to taste. Ji Meiqing tasted a bowl and gave a thumbs up, "Mmm~ It's delicious. It's definitely your cooking." Lu Yu was also happy to receive the approval of his beloved and took a sip, "I'm glad you like it."
Ji Meiqing has a low alcohol tolerance, and this wine had a particularly strong aftereffect, so unsurprisingly she got drunk again. Lu Yu felt it was necessary to forbid her from drinking with other men in the future. Ji Meiqing acted crazy while drunk, clinging to Lu Yu and refusing to let go, insisting on making him drink more, and revealing her lecherous nature by taking advantage of him.
Lu Yu had no choice but to carry her to the bed and cover her with a blanket. But Ji Meiqing was not going to listen to him. She raised her fair arms and shook them in the air, shouting, "One more bowl! I want to drink eighteen bowls and then go over the hill, haha!"
Lu Yu fed her some hangover soup, which helped her feel better. Watching her gradually fall asleep, a secret surfaced in his mind. He wondered, if she knew, would she blame him for not telling him sooner, or even leave him? But now is not the time. If she doesn't want him then, he will chase her to the ends of the earth.
In his dream, Ji Meiqing stirred restlessly. Lu Yu reached out to cover her with the blanket, but just as he was about to turn away, his hand was tightly gripped. Lu Yu tried to pull away, but couldn't, so he could only lie down next to Ji Meiqing and stay with her.
Around noon, Ji Meiqing rubbed her blurry eyes. What was she doing? Drunk again? She glanced at Lu Yu, who was still asleep beside her, and her memories began to return, fragmented and incomplete. She realized she… had somehow molested him. Oh well, what was there to be embarrassed about? He was hers anyway.
Lu Yu was woken up and the two of them went to lunch together. Neither of them spoke, and neither knew what to say. In the end, Ji Meiqing couldn't stand the atmosphere and chose to go to the restaurant first. She said goodbye and left.
As soon as Ji Meiqing arrived at the restaurant, a waiter came to report the good news. "Boss, boss, you're finally here! I posted the notice for our new business as you asked yesterday, and business is booming on the very first day."
Unlike the young waiter, Ji Meiqing wasn't superficial and her emotions didn't fluctuate much. She knew that many people were just curious, which was why business was good on the first day. But that wasn't what she wanted; she wanted it to last.
So she said, "Don't be too happy yet. After all, this is our first time trying it, so we have to be careful at all times. If it really develops in the long run, it will definitely be imitated, and then we will no longer have an advantage. So we can only create our own unique dishes, unique dishes that others can't learn."
The young man was a bit confused, but he nodded in agreement nonetheless.
To Ji Meiqing's surprise, the new business didn't decline in the following days; in fact, it seemed to be growing even stronger. It seems people, whether in ancient or modern times, don't like exercise. This laziness is truly universal.
Seeing that there was nothing to worry about with the new business at the restaurant, Ji Meiqing focused her attention back on the alcohol; after all, it was a restaurant, and alcohol was its spiritual pillar. Lately, some people had really quieted down, not trying to trip her up anymore. It was quite unusual. Everything was peaceful on her end.
Ji family.
Ji Tianzhuo was obsessed with that position every day, and Tian Cuiwei was constantly plotting how to bring down Ji Meiqing. She neglected Jinbao, leaving him to the servants. The servants could see how out of favor Jinbao was, and naturally, they wouldn't treat him sincerely. Indeed, who would care for a child without a father's love or a mother's affection?
The Ji family is currently in a state of chaos, lacking the resources to deal with Ji Meiqing, who has both capital and powerful backers. Even when they resort to underhanded tactics, Ji Meiqing easily thwarts them. Therefore, things are currently peaceful on Ji Meiqing's side.
That day, Ji Meiqing and Lu Yu had breakfast together as usual. Li Shi happened to come to visit, so they invited her to join them. After breakfast, they sat together chatting about everyday things. Li Shi, always one to speak without thinking, asked them when they were planning to have a child.
Ji Meiqing almost spat out the tea she had just taken a sip of. "Um, Aunt Li, have you been quite free lately?"
Li realized she had overstepped her bounds and said, "I'm sorry, but I really care about you all."
Lu Yu casually asked, "When will Aunt Li remarry?"
This question made Li blush, and she hurriedly said, "I have something to do at home, so I'll be going now." Then she left as if fleeing.
Ji Meiqing glanced at him and said, "Brilliant, truly brilliant." Back in modern times, she could only listen when she was forced into marriage, but now it seems she can refute it.
Lu Yu gave her a look that said, "That's right, don't you know who I am?"
After seeing Aunt Li off, the two of them held hands and went to the market to buy groceries, carrying their vegetable baskets. Sometimes, this is a kind of romance.
They were happily browsing in front of the vendor's stall when, unbeknownst to them, someone was stealthily approaching them.
