Chapter 145: Chapter 145 Everything is for Justice [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]

On the return flight, Zhou Jingyuan was all tense, like a frightened kitten, clutching Lu Xiaobu’s arm tightly and refusing to let go.

And the consequence of this was that Lu Xiaobu’s arm was wrapped in something soft, which really made him want to slam on the brakes of the plane.

What? You don’t know what that means?

Wait until you’re on the back of a motorbike with a girl.

Try hitting the brakes

Squeal—

after that...

You’ll understand.

By then, you’ll be itching to slam on the brakes a few more times!

Although Lu Xiaobu knew it wasn’t right, he couldn’t really blame himself!

With this feeling, this experience, could you hold back?

You’ll probably hope for the brakes to be hit as hard as possible!

Those who say they can hold back, I salute you as a real man.

Give it another decade or so, and I’ll make a point of visiting you every Singles’ Day with my family in tow.

Back at home, Lu’s parents also recognized Zhou Jingyuan and without asking too much, they just tidied up the room and had Lin Shu help out by buying some new clothes.

"Alright, we’re home now. Take a shower first, then we’ll have dinner."

Lu Xiaobu soothed Zhou Jingyuan, who still looked somewhat panicked.

Then...

"Young Master, what are you doing?"

Liang Lan asked, watching Lu Xiaobu help Zhou Jingyuan upstairs.

"I’m accompanying her!"

Lu Xiaobu, as an upright gentleman, declared righteously.

"Hm?"

Liang Lan tilted her head, looking at Lu Xiaobu: "Young Master?"

"What are you thinking about, seriously!"

Lu Xiaobu immediately protested.

Sister Lan actually didn’t trust him.

And you guys!

What are you doing?

Don’t look at me with that strange gaze.

I never intended to shower together!

You’re overthinking—this is just about companionship, okay?

Moreover, isn’t this an opportunity for Lu Xiaobu to fulfill the contract with Zhou Jingyuan?

Yes, everything is for justice!

Then...

"Then I want to take a shower with Zhou Jingyuan, Young Master, you wait for dinner."

Liang Lan took Zhou Jingyuan with a smile and went upstairs!

Wanna spend time alone?

Like I don’t exist?!

Humph!

"Ah, the world’s changed!"

Lu Xiaobu expressed his heartache.

Why don’t they trust him?

And, isn’t he stupid?

He should’ve sent Sister Lan away sooner!

Helplessly, dinner time, then bed.

In the middle of the night.

Someone sneaked in secretly.

"Who?" Lu Xiaobu was still scrolling through his phone and had not yet slept.

"It’s me."

The voice of the ’hot pepper’ came over.

"What do you want?"

Lu Xiaobu instantly became alert.

His mind flooded with countless teachings from ’experts.’

Was it finally time for a real battle?

"I can’t sleep alone, I want to sleep over at your place."

Zhou Jingyuan said with a mix of aggrievement and fear.

She didn’t have that fiery attitude at all.

Seeing Zhou Jingyuan looking like a ghost, Lu Xiaobu sighed, completely losing that kind of thought!

"Alright, you sleep here."

Lu Xiaobu scooted over to give half of the bed to Zhou Jingyuan.

"You..."

Zhou Jingyuan bit her red lips, hesitating.

"Don’t worry, with you looking like this, I’m not interested at all right now."

Lu Xiaobu yawned and turned away.

"Okay!"

Zhou Jingyuan nodded, choosing to trust Lu Xiaobu.

However, before she went to sleep, she leaned close to Lu Xiaobu’s face...

Mua!

A sweet kiss.

"I’m going to sleep!"

Zhou Jingyuan hurriedly wrapped herself up in the blanket, ready for sleep.

"Er..."

Lu Xiaobu was speechless!

I mean, seriously, you’re giving me this routine now?

Aren’t you afraid I might Transform out of agitation?

He glanced back slightly.

It seems that this little chili pepper is truly exhausted today!

She’s fallen asleep so quickly!

Forget it, fulfilling the contract and all can wait until later.

What?

What do you mean by what just happened?

You must be kidding!

As a by-the-book person, could he possibly condone the chili pepper’s breach of contract?

So...

That was just the interest!

It definitely doesn’t count!

What he didn’t notice, though, was the chili pepper’s mouth curving into a contented smile as she peacefully drifted off to sleep!

...

The next day, Zhou Jingyuan was already gone.

Lu Xiaobu glanced downward: "What use do I have for this iron rod?"

He went downstairs to eat breakfast with a crestfallen look.

And the little chili pepper was already chatting with Liang Lan.

"You stayed overnight in Young Master’s room?"

Liang Lan was surprised: "Who does that, offering themselves up like that?"

"I couldn’t sleep!"

The little chili pepper grimaced: "I felt like I was dreaming all day yesterday, as if I were still trapped in a sea of suffering."

"Then why didn’t you come to me?"

Liang Lan said, a little annoyed.

She was feeling a bit jealous!

Yes, that’s right, jealous!

Humph!

"Alright, Sister Lan."

The little chili pepper cooed: "After all, I didn’t win anything!"

She woke up feisty as ever.

"What? You wanted to win something?"

Liang Lan raised her eyebrow: "I am worried your body can’t take it."

"Can’t take it? What a joke! Humph, I can definitely take it!"

Zhou Jingyuan said playfully.

"Hmm..."

Liang Lan glanced up and down at Zhou Jingyuan’s petite figure, recalling the things she had inadvertently seen in Young Master’s room a few days ago, and let out a meaningful grunt.

"What’s up?"

Zhou Jingyuan was startled by that sound, chilling to the bones.

What is she thinking?

To tear me apart?

But before she could ask in detail,

Lu Xiaobu came downstairs.

The two women promptly shut up and sat down to eat, especially Zhou Jingyuan, who put on a worried expression again.

Life is like a play, it’s all about acting.

"Where shall we go for fun today?" Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin, looking at Zhou Jingyuan: "How about I accompany you to relax a bit?"

Zhou Jingyuan’s eyes curved up happily.

Xiaobu really cared about her.

Liang Lan pursed her lips.

Then...

"Hurry up and get ready, speed things up and fulfill the contract."

Lu Xiaobu said again.

"Pfft!"

Liang Lan laughed.

Zhou Jingyuan gritted her teeth with fury, Lu Xiaobu, you jerk!

"Sister Lan, how’s our movie coming along?"

Lu Xiaobu asked, suddenly remembering that "A Chinese Odyssey" was still being filmed.

"I’m not quite sure, all of that is being handled by Director Chen Feiyang, we hardly had a hand in it."

Liang Lan shook her head.

"Alright then, let’s go and see how it’s coming along?" Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin.

"A Chinese Odyssey", being his favorite movie, if it was not made well, if it turned into a mess, he would not approve!

The only purpose of making this film was to let the people of this world understand the charm of "A Chinese Odyssey".

And then sit back and watch them become enraptured, mad about it!

...

Upon arriving at the film studio,

the scene before him made his brows furrow—what a mess!
