“I feel uncomfortable here.” Lu Yinan pointed to his chest and frowned slightly to express his discomfort.

It must be poison. He must be poisoned. Certain poisons would attack the heart.

Zhou Shuang seemed distressed. She asked, “How is it uncomfortable?”

She used her palm to stroke Lu Yinan’s chest, where his heart was.

Lu Yinan crouched slightly to avoid her touch before furrowing his eyebrows. “It feels as though it doesn’t belong to me anymore. It’s escaping from me.”

“Why do you feel that way?” Zhou Shuang was close to tears.

She was at a loss and her eyes roved the surroundings.

Lu Yinan suddenly chortled and he said, “I feel that my heart is going towards you.”

“You!” Zhou Shuang was about to admonish him, but on second thought, she changed her mind. She smiled in relief. “You frightened me to death.”

“Shuangshuang.” Lu Yinan enveloped the slender woman with his arms. Then he bent to snuggle close to her neck, acting like a spoiled child.

Zhou Shuang shrugged her shoulders and glanced in disdain at the man. “Be serious.”

He was so heroic and macho earlier on. But he was acting like a docile woman now.

Lu Yinan tightened his grip around her. He smiled sheepishly at her. “You’re my darling.”

Zhou Shuang blushed crimson and despite feeling thrilled, she chided him, “Don’t be so mushy. Let’s go.”

She jabbed Lu Yinan and continued walking.

Lu Yinan effortlessly caught her wrist and they held hands as they continued on their journey.

This journey upward wasn’t as treacherous as they thought.

When they reached the top, Zhou Shuang stopped to catch her breath. When her life was at stake earlier on, she had used up all her energy just to stay alive. Now the ascent up the mountain had drained her entirely.

The strong winds messed up her hair even more. She brushed away the strands of hair sticking to her face. Her pitiful appearance tugged at his heartstrings.

Lu Yinan gazed at her and turned around. “I’ll carry you.”

He didn’t wait for Zhou Shuang to respond and simply squatted.

Zhou Shuang was about to reject his offer, but he had lifted her up. She merely heaved a tiny sigh.

Their relationship had improved by leaps and bounds in just a day. She was feeling bashful alright?

Young Master Lu’s efforts had finally paid off. He managed to convince Zhou Shuang to come home with him and his spirits soared.

He went around announcing to everyone that he would give them a treat. But Ming Ansheng wanted to wait for Su Yue to come back.

Su Yue finally came back in early May, along with Xiaojiao.

She reached the airport in the late afternoon. After she landed, she went directly to an exclusive and posh clubhouse with Ming Ansheng. She didn’t even have time to go back to put her luggage.

The clubhouse was located in the suburban district and the clubhouse provided entertainment services, restaurants, and a hot spring.

All the cars that were parked there were all branded sports cars.

Ming Ansheng carried Xiaojiao and got out of the car. Su Yue followed suit and the family entered through the entrance.

They entered the main hall and bumped into Lu Yinan and Zhou Shuang, who just came out of the elevator.

“Sister Hooligan, you’re too soft-hearted. How can you forgive Lu Yinan so easily?” Su Yue eyed Zhou Shuang with a disapproving look.

Young Master Lu, who was just beside Zhou Shuang, frowned in contempt. “Su Yue, how can you say that?”

This lass was trying to drive a wedge in between them. How horrible of her.

“Tch!” Su Yue rolled her eyes at Lu Yinan before surveying Zhou Shuang from head to toe.
