Chapter 294: Promise Me That You Won’t Make Such a Bet With Others in the Future

Dou Zerui wanted to say something but Dou Xiangling had pulled him back.

Dou Xiangling asked, “Yiyi, what time are you going back?”

Today was the opening of the bar and strictly speaking, the boss had to remain till it closed.

At first, that was Zi Yi’s plan. But now that Lu Jingye was here, she did not wish to remain here.

She thought for a moment and turned to look at Lu Jingye before she said, “I’ll be going back not too long from now.”

Lu Jingye said to her, “You can let your cousins return first.”

Zi Yi nodded approvingly and looked at the Dou Family siblings. “You’ve been here with me for so long and it’s getting late. You should go back first.”

Dou Zerui felt that Lu Jingye would transform into a wolf and gobble his cousin whole if they left. He simply said, “We are planning to keep you company tonight.”

Zi Yi glanced at the tactless Dou Zerui and bluntly said, “The bar is 100% operated by robots, and it is useless for you to stay here.”

She then turned to Dou Xiangling and acted cute. “Go back first? I’ll stay here until 12 a.m the latest.”

Dou Xiangling glanced at Lu Jingye. In fact, she had a good impression of him and felt that he was not someone who would behave indecently.

Coupled with Zi Yi’s cute eyes staring at her, she relented.

“Then send me a message or give me a call when you reach home.”

“Xiangling…”

“Brother, there’s nothing we can do to help here and it’s useless for us to remain. We should go home and rest.” Dou Xiangling hinted at Dou Zerui for him to be slightly tactful and said, “Besides, don’t you have something to do tomorrow?”

Even though Dou Zerui was reluctant to leave, he knew that he would be disliked if he continued to stay. “Alright then.”

He turned to look at Lu Jingye and warned him with his gaze: Don’t you dare touch my cousin again!

Lu Jingye looked back at him with a broad and level gaze.

Only then did Dou Zerui leave with Dou Xiangling without saying anything else.

Zi Yi pounced into Lu Jingye’s arms the moment they left.

Lu Jingye looked at the young lady in his arms and held her waist while patting her back. With a slightly hoa.r.s.e voice, he said, “Yiyi, promise me not to make such bets with others in the future.”

Zi Yi responded with a yes in his embrace. She raised her head and her bright eyes seemed to sparkle. “Ah Jing, did you miss me?”

Lu Jingye looked into her eyes. He lowered his head and said a single word before he sealed her lips, “Yes.”

Sometime later, Zi Yi panted as she lay in his arms. The two of them continued hugging each other as they sat on a chair. She listened to his faster-than-usual heartbeat while Lu Jingye gently stroked her head.

The room was engulfed in a cozy atmosphere.

Sometime later, Zi Yi asked, “Ah Jing, have you gathered all the medicinal ingredients you need?”

After Zi Yi returned from abroad, she checked on the person who had offered a huge sum of money in exchange for the medicinal ingredients, on the black market exchange. As expected, she found out that it was Lu Jingye.

She combined that piece of knowledge with what he said in the past and had more or less guessed the situation.

“Does Auntie know about your younger brother?”

“She doesn’t know.”

Zi Yi had also managed to guess it. She merely wanted confirmation.

Lu Jingye said, “Other than me and my father, no one else knows of this.”

Zi Yi looked at him and he said, “Go back and rest early. I’ll pick you up in the morning tomorrow.” Zi Yi raised her head and looked at him.

Lu Jingye also just happened to look down.

The tip of her nose touched his chin and they were momentarily stunned. She thought of the scene where she asked him to call her sister-in-law and chuckled. “There’s me now.”

“Yes.” Lu Jingye’s eyes also revealed a smile from within.

Zi Yi kissed him on his lips and narrowed her eyes. Like a lazy cat, she leaned in his embrace and hugged his waist. “You promised to fight with me when we were at the Snow Mountain. You big baddie. Did you already plan beforehand for me to return from there?”

Lu Jingye unexpectedly admitted it.

She snorted in discontentment.

“Does the Royal Family of Country C know you took the medicinal ingredient?”

“They don’t know.”

The reason why Lu Jingye had chased them to the hotel was to steal from the group who initially stole it. “The Royal Family of Country C are still looking for that group of thieves.”

“Then… do they know you were the one who intercepted them?”

“Yes. I had fought with their leader during the scuffle.”

Zi Yi frowned. “Would they chase after you and steal the medicinal ingredient?”

Since it was a medicine for her brother-in-law, Zi Yi was still rather concerned about it.

Lu Jingye saw Zi Yi’s expression and was warmed. He covered her smooth cheeks with his palm and said, “Don’t worry. Their leader is injured.”

He had also made preparations for other things in advance.

Zi Yi nodded. She knew that it was confidential and did not pry further. “If you need my help, just tell me. After all, your younger brother is my future brother-in-law.”

Lu Jingye chuckled at her words.

The young lady had reminded him so bluntly that it seemed like he had to consider marrying her as soon as she reached adulthood.

After they continued chatting for a while, the manager robot’s voice sounded from the monitor. “Master, there are many people gathered outside the bar.”

Zi Yi checked the surveillance outside the gates. As expected, she saw a large group of people standing outside.

They were stopped by her bodyguards and revealed a furious expression. Many of them were shouting, saying that since it was the opening of her bar, why did she stop them from entering.

Zi Yi’s expression sank.

Just then, Lu Jingye placated her by patting her back. “Your bar is considered very novel to everyone. Why don’t you set a rule on the number of customers you will receive every day? In this case, you don’t have to keep others outside the gates because the place is full.

Zi Yi thought for a moment and felt that the suggestion was pretty good. She directly made an image projection of herself on the screen outside the gates.

“Everyone, be quiet.”

Zi Yi’s voice contained slight chilliness and she radiated a majestic aura. The moment her voice sounded, the group of people causing a ruckus outside had stopped.

One of them said discontentedly, “You are operating a bar and we’re here as consumers. Why are you blocking us outside?”

“Because it’s full.” Zi Yi snorted. “I don’t think you came here to play, but to cause trouble instead? It’s clearly written on the monitor that it is a full house and the bar will not be entertaining any more guests. Are you telling me you’re all blind and so you can’t see those words?”

She continued to speak. “In the future, my bar will only be receiving 100 people per day. Whoever dares to cause trouble outside again, don’t blame me for being rude.”

“Y-you… how can you speak like that? Be careful that no one will patronize your bar again next time!”

Zi Yi laughed at his words and said arrogantly, “So be it. Am I supposed to beg you to come?”

The reason she opened a bar was so that she could purchase all sorts of good quality wine, so that she had a good reason to drink whenever she wanted to in the future.

As for the measly income she received from the bar, she truly had no need for that.
