He responded nonchalantly, not fully engaging in the conversation.
Chen Kexin realized what Old Madam Lu intended a bit late, and her face flushed with embarrassment. She grabbed Old Madam Lu’s hand and whispered, “Grandmother, please stop. I have no such feelings for him.”
“You won’t know if there’s a connection until you spend some time together, Kexin. Don’t tie yourself down to just one person,” Old Madam Lu persisted.
After considering it, Chen Kexin thought that the plan would be put into action later tonight, so she didn’t care about Old Madam Lu’s intentions and fell silent.
Old Madam Lu thought Chen Kexin agreed with her and seemed even more pleased with herself.
Jiang Yining and Lu Zhi sat a bit further away. She overheard Old Madam Lu’s conversation with Gu Zhanqing and chuckled, saying, “Old Madam, are you trying to marry Chen Kexin to my uncle and make her my aunt?”
“What’s wrong with that? Is it not acceptable?” Old Madam Lu was defiant.
“Sure, I think it’s a great idea,” Jiang Yining said with amusement, even admiring Old Madam Lu’s whimsical ideas. A terrible man and a terrible woman would make a perfect couple and wouldn’t bother anyone else. “Uncle, make sure to give it your all to win Miss Chen’s heart. I’m wishing you both happiness in advance.”
Gu Zhanqing’s face turned pitch-black at her words, and Chen Kexin clenched her teeth in secret.
Only Old Madam Lu thought that Jiang Yining agreed with her intentions. She even pondered that if Chen Kexin really married Gu Zhanqing, there would be no need to trouble Jiang Yining in the future. The Gu and Lu families could work together.
Jiang Yining could roughly guess what was on their minds as she leaned on Lu Zhi’s shoulder and secretly laughed.
Lu Zhi was helpless with this little troublemaker and could only let her be.
After about half an hour of flying, they arrived at the island.
The entire island’s scenery rivaled that of a 5A-rated national scenic area. It was breathtakingly beautiful.
Jiang Yining and Lu Zhi had a place to rest. They took pictures with friends and family before heading to separate dressing rooms to change into more comfortable clothing. Just as Jiang Yining finished changing and stepped out, she felt a momentary dizziness.
She placed her hand on her forehead and steadied herself.
Ye Xiaoxi followed her and, noticing that something was wrong, asked, “Yining, are you okay? Is it low blood sugar? I’ll get you some food.”
“No need, I’m fine,” Jiang Yining shook her head. “Where’s my phone?”
“It’s with me,” Ye Xiaoxi handed it to her.
Jiang Yining checked her phone briefly, then put it away and smiled at Ye Xiaoxi, saying, “Let’s go.”
“Sure.”
The afternoon reception extended into the evening. At 6 o’clock, the entire island lit up with fireworks. The splendid starry sky and colorful fireworks complemented each other, creating a beautiful scene. The sea breeze carried the laughter of the guests far into the distance.
Jiang Yining followed Lu Zhi and raised a toast at nearly a hundred tables. Although she took just a sip at each table, it accumulated to quite a lot of wine.
When it was time to toast Gu Zhanqing’s table, Jiang Yining, with her rosy cheeks, leaned close to Lu Zhi and said, “Darling, I’m feeling a bit tipsy. I’d like to rest for a while. Why don’t you toast the guests by yourself? I’ll wait for you to return.”
“Alright, have Xiaoxi accompany you. Don’t stay alone,” Lu Zhi said.
“Okay.”
Jiang Yining nodded and handed her wine glass to a nearby waiter.
Lu Zhi watched her as she walked away and turned to the guests, apologizing, “Yining is exhausted today, so I’ll be toasting alone. I promise to host you properly on another day.”
Gu Zhanqing had a calm expression and raised his wine glass.
Lu Zhi exchanged a look with him before finishing the glass of red wine and moving on to the next table.
After Lu Zhi had moved further away, Gu Zhanqing made a phone call.
Jiang Yining’s head was spinning, and her steps were unsteady. Ye Xiaoxi, fearing she might fall, half-supported her as they walked.
Finally reaching their guest room, Ye Xiaoxi helped Jiang Yining onto the bed.
She then went to the bathroom and brought back a warm towel, using it to clean her face and remove her shoes.
Afterward, Ye Xiaoxi used her phone to reply to Old Master Yuan, “Grandfather, I’m staying on the island overnight today. Please don’t wait for me at home. Remember to get some rest early. Your health is not great, so don’t push yourself.”
After sending the message, there was a knock at the door.
Ye Xiaoxi answered and found two maids waiting. She asked, “What’s going on?”
“Miss Ye, our master sent us to take care of the young mistress. He wants us to inform you not to overexert yourself. You can return and rest now.”
Ye Xiaoxi wasn’t very familiar with the Lu family’s servants, but if they were sent by Lu Zhi, she saw no reason to stay any longer. So, she left.
Not long after she left, the two maids locked the bedroom door, then went to Jiang Yining’s side. They used a towel preloaded with a sedative to cover her mouth and nose.
Once they were sure Jiang Yining had lost consciousness, they quickly removed her clothes and changed her into an inconspicuous outfit. Then, they secretly carried her out of the room.
Shortly after they left, Chen Kexin sneaked into the room.
She put on Jiang Yining’s clothes and a blissful smile crossed her lips.
Tonight!
She would consummate her marriage with her brother All Zhi!
When she woke up tomorrow, Jiang Yining would be completely out of the Lu family!
Chen Kexin turned off all the lights in the room, got into bed, and waited with anticipation for Lu Zhi’s arrival.
The night was dark. The reception was winding down, and Lu Zhi was intoxicated, stumbling as he walked. Several groomsmen supported him and took him to the newlyweds’ room, teasing him along the way.
“All Zhi, you’re so drunk. Don’t behave inappropriately in front of your wife, or you might disappoint her on your wedding night.”
“Yes, should we prepare some sobering soup for you?”
“Alright, we won’t bother you to enjoy some intimate moments with your wife.”
With these words, they left, laughing.
Chen Kexin clutched the edge of the blanket, nervously listening to their discussion as her heart raced.
“Yining, I’ve finally married you. Let me turn on the light and have a good look at you.”
Lu Zhi said as he walked toward the large bed.
Afraid of exposing her true identity, Chen Kexin quickly lowered her voice and said, “Don’t… don’t turn on the light. I’m scared.”
Lu Zhi fell silent for a few seconds and then chuckled. “Alright, we won’t turn on the light.”
In the darkness, a tall figure leaped onto the soft bed, kissing Chen Kexin…
Chen Kexin’s heart was filled with ecstatic joy.
Finally…
She would become All Zhi’s woman!
