Reincarnation: Multi-skilled Goddess Is So Beautiful!

Chapter 357 - It’s Pretty Late Now, Let’s Wash up and Prepare for Bed

When they walked out from the side door, Mrs. Lu was already waiting there.

She smiled as she looked at the two people who walked out with their hands entwined together, before her gaze landed on the clothes Lu Jingye had on his arm.

“Jingye, why did you bring Little Zi’s performance costume with you?”

Zi Yi revealed a smile and went over to hug her arm. “Ah Jing said that since I’m the only one who can wear this costume, we’ll buy it and keep it instead.”

Mrs. Lu looked at Lu Jingye with an understanding smile.

Lu Jingye had an indifferent expression on his face, as if it was normal for him to have done that.

Mrs. Lu shook her head deep down.

A mother knew their son the best. This brat clearly loved how Little Zi looked with this costume on, which was why he had specially bought it. Yet, he still found such a grandiose reason to mask his real intentions.

Zi Yi asked Mrs. Lu, “Auntie Lu, we’re going to get supper. What would you like to eat?”

Mrs. Lu saw that it was getting late and so, she smiled and shook her head. “I won’t tag along with you two. Otherwise, Jingye’s father will be worried if I return late.”

She then said with concern, “Take good care of yourself when you’re abroad. Auntie will wait for you to get first place.”

Zi Yi nodded. “I will definitely take the first place position.”

Mrs. Lu liked Zi Yi’s confident attitude. She then turned to Lu Jingye and said, “Jingye, I recall you have a private villa in X Country. Little Zi and her cousin can just stay there when they arrive there. In that case, they won’t feel unaccustomed there.”

Lu Jingye nodded. “Mother, don’t worry. I’ve already made arrangements for that.”

Mrs. Lu was confident with her son’s abilities and she did not continue on that topic any further. “You two can go and have supper. I’ll make a move first.”

“Auntie, we’ll see you off?”

“There’s no need. Jingye’s father is already on his way to pick me up. It’s rather late now, I’ll introduce you to his father next time.”

Zi Yi smiled and nodded. “Sure.”

The three of them walked to the car that came to fetch Mrs. Lu. It was only after seeing Mrs. Lu getting into the car did Zi Yi head towards Lu Jingye’s car.

After she got in, Lu Jingye asked Zi Yi, “What do you want to eat?”

Zi Yi thought for a moment and said, “Let’s go home and eat. We’ll get the chef to cook some dumplings for us.”

“Okay.”

On their way back, Zi Yi sent a message to the butler, informing him that they would be returning to her villa and that she wanted to eat dumplings.

After sending the message, Zi Yi told Lu Jingye about the matter that she would be visiting her grandfather in the morning tomorrow.

Lu Jingye nodded his head. “Since they are allowing you to meet your grandfather, it means that Elder Dou has already accepted you.”

Zi Yi’s eyes curved into crescent moons at his words.

She leaned her head on his shoulders and asked, “How’s the progress with the customized medical equipment for your brother? I wish to visit your younger brother when I come back from abroad… Can I?”

Lu Jingye held her hand and a surge of warmth spread in his heart. “The medical equipment is more or less done, but a few materials you require have yet to be created.”

The materials Zi Yi required had exceeded the technology of this world. Therefore, even with the formula Zi Yi had provided, it was impossible for the researchers to create it in such a short period of time.

“It still requires at least half a month.”

Zi Yi furrowed her brows and thought for a moment. “I’ll return immediately after the competition. I’ll personally refine the materials at that time.”

“Okay.”

They discussed Lu Yunxiao’s condition for a while and when the car was about to reach Zi Yi’s villa, Lu Jingye said to her, “Your stepmother met people from the Dongfang Family in the afternoon.”

“Hmph.”

Zi Yi coldly snorted and said in displeasure, “It’s the Dongfang Family again. When I return from abroad, let’s see how I deal with them.”

“I’ll send someone to monitor your stepmother these few days. If she does something detrimental to you, I will get my men to resolve her immediately on the spot.” Lu Jingye was merely informing her of his plans.

When the car drove into the courtyard and stopped, they alighted together and saw the housekeeper waiting for them outside.

“Second Young Master, Miss Zi. You’re back.”

Lu Jingye responded with a hum and passed the costume to him. “Wash this and put it in Little Zi’s wardrobe.”

“I understand.” The housekeeper took the costume from Lu Jingye.

Zi Yi asked with a smile, “Are the dumplings ready yet?”

The dumplings and boiling water have been prepared. We’re just waiting for Second Young Master and Miss Zi to return before we cook them.” After the housekeeper said that, he headed towards the kitchen.

Zi Yi and Lu Jingye headed towards the backyard together.

Bursts of scented flowers assaulted their noses the moment they walked into the courtyard.

Zi Yi’s footsteps turned and she walked towards the rockery.

Lu Jingye followed behind her.

When he saw the rockery covered in a thick layer of snow along with the blood lotuses that were in full bloom, Lu Jingye was somewhat surprised. “To think it actually bloomed.”

Zi Yi revealed a smug smile. “I installed a piece of special equipment that can simulate the temperature on the snow mountains. The temperature on the rockery will always be maintained at minus 10 to minus 20 degrees, so it’ll definitely bloom well.”

Lu Jingye tilted his head and looked at her and the corner of his lips unconsciously curled up.

They stood there for a while more before heading towards the living room.

Shortly after, the housekeeper served the dumplings.

After eating supper, Zi Yi pulled Lu Jingye upstairs while she said, “It’s pretty late now. Let’s go and wash up and prepare for bed.”

Lu Jingye saw the young lady’s smile and knew what plans she had, but he did not expose her.

When they arrived outside of Zi Yi’s bedroom, Lu Jingye stopped and said, “Go in, I’ll wait for you in the study room.”

Zi Yi pouted in dissatisfaction.

Lu Jingye lowered his head and gave her a kiss on the lips. “I went out today and there’s some work I have yet to complete.”

Zi Yi only released him after he explained.

After taking a shower, Zi Yi went to the study room to look for Lu Jingye.

Lu Jingye had clearly also taken a shower and changed into pajamas. He was currently seated before his computer as his fingers swiftly tapped the keyboard.

Zi Yi looked at his serious working expression and could not shift her gaze away at all. She then moved a chair next to him and sat opposite as she propped her chin while looking at him working.

Lu Jingye looked up and saw her gaze on him. Immediately after, he quickly did his work.

Zi Yi watched him working for around half an hour before Lu Jingye tapped the last key, after he had been running at the highest working efficiency for the past half hour.

“Ah Jing, are you done with your work?”

As she looked at the man standing up, her eyes were filled with expectation.

“Mmh.”

Lu Jingye walked to her side and pinned her hair that was scattered on her cheeks behind her ears, before he reached out his hands towards her.

Zi Yi reached out both her hands and said, “Carry me.”

Lu Jingye looked at the young lady who was acting spoiled and bent down to pick her up. “What time are you visiting your grandfather tomorrow?”

“I’m going over at 8 a.m.”

Zi Yi leaned her head against his chest. As she heard his strong heartbeat, she said overbearingly. “You must miss me the following days when I’m abroad.”

The corner of his lips curled up as he said, “Okay.”

He then continued to say, “I’m also heading abroad.”

“Hmm?” Zi Yi looked up at him. “Are you heading abroad for work or going abroad as your younger brother?”

“I am using my younger brother’s identity to do some things.”

Zi Yi grabbed his collar and asked, “Which country are you headed to?”

“It’s rather close to Country X. If things go well, I can come to look for you and we can return together.”
