“If I don’t bite you, it won’t feel real.”
“You…”
Jiang Yining wanted to call him a rogue because every time he took advantage of her. But before she could speak, she saw Lu Zhi pointing to the bed.
“There’s still someone here.”
Jiang Yining suddenly remembered there was another man in the room. “You should wake him up.”
“Wake up.”
Lu Zhi said in a deep voice.
The man who had been quietly lying on the bed got dressed and stood in front of them.
Jiang Yining felt somewhat embarrassed. She had realized something was amiss, and she had wanted Lu Zhi to be cautious, especially during their wedding night, which would be the perfect opportunity for their adversaries. That’s why Lu Zhi had prepared this deception in advance.
But she hadn’t expected to involve another person and made him have s*x with Chen Kexin.
“You’ve been through a lot,” Jiang Yining whispered after a long pause.
Lu Zhi patted her on the head and said, “No need to be polite to him. He’s my shadow. Born for me, willing to die for me.”
“Young Mistress, I’ll leave first.”
The shadow spoke, and his voice was surprisingly similar to Lu Zhi’s. If Jiang Yining wasn’t so familiar with Lu Zhi’s voice, she might have thought they were the same person.
No wonder Chen Kexin was so sure that Lu Zhi was with her when she wasn’t.
Jiang Yining opened her mouth in surprise.
The shadow left the room.
Lu Zhi held her chin with one hand, making her look at him. “Curious about the shadow?”
“I’ve heard of them, but it’s my first time seeing a real one. Shadows are usually individuals carefully groomed by powerful families to protect their core family members. Unlike regular bodyguards, they might never appear in public because they’ve been raised from a young age with the idea of protecting their master, so they are even more obedient and sometimes willing to sacrifice their lives to protect their master.”
“This is the shadow left to me by the old master,” Lu Zhi explained. “I won’t use him unless absolutely necessary. As for him being involved with Chen Kexin, it was her choice. If she didn’t have harmful intentions, she wouldn’t have ended up in this situation.”
Lu Zhi seemed to understand her thoughts and proactively explained.
Jiang Yining nodded and said, “I don’t feel sorry for Chen Kexin. I just think it’s a shame for such a handsome guy to be taken advantage of. Will his future wife be upset with him?”
Lu Zhi replied in a calm voice, “Shadows cannot get married.”
“Does this mean he has to be with you twenty-four hours a day, and he can’t live a normal life?”
Lu Zhi gave an affirmative answer.
The selection and training of the shadow were extremely cruel, and he could no longer live a normal life.
Even if he was willing to set the shadow free, the shadow would never leave.
Jiang Yining furrowed her brow and said, “This is truly inhumane.”
“Does it pain you?” Lu Zhi asked with a hint of amusement.
Jiang Yining responded, “I just find it unfair. Some people are born into wealth and privilege, while others spend their entire lives in poverty.”
“Absolute fairness is impossible for anyone to achieve. All we can do is try to help the people around us who need it,” Lu Zhi said earnestly.
Jiang Yining seemed lost in thought for a moment, then suddenly leaned in close to him with a mischievous smile and said, “Lu Zhi, does the shadow follow you around twenty-four hours a day? So, does that mean he watches you eat, drink, and even when you use the restroom? What about your wedding night? Won’t it be like a public event?”
Lu Zhi’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“What did you say? I didn’t hear you, please repeat it.”
Jiang Yining sensed the imminent danger and quickly fled, saying, “I didn’t say anything. I’m too tired today, and I need to rest. You can think about it by yourself!”
With that, her figure disappeared from the room.
Lu Zhi stood in place, wearing a faint smile.
While it was true that the shadow was with him around the clock, he would never allow anyone to observe such an intimate moment on their wedding night.
She belonged entirely to him.
No one else could touch her, not even with a glance.

After the commotion, Old Madam Lu was mentally and physically drained.
Chen Kexin sat on the floor, crying continuously.
“Grandmother, please help me… I really didn’t lie…”
“I can’t help you. Chen Kexin, the evidence is overwhelming, and no one can help you.”
Old Madam Lu rarely denied her.
Chen Kexin was desperate, and her voice became hoarse from crying.
Old Madam Lu, who was clearly irritated by her, had throbbing veins on her forehead. She spoke with impatience, “I warned you a long time ago not to act on your own. Look at how things have turned out.. How arc you going to resolve this?”
