Chapter 1340: Lover, Prey, Bait
Early the next morning.
Lu Mingzhu barely slept that night. Her groggy head gradually cleared under the influence of the medication. Even in her dreams, she was afraid that she would grit her teeth and call out Ming Jinyan's name.
Fortunately, they managed to get away with it.
Lu Mingzhu looked at Ming Jinyan, who was sleeping on the edge of her bed.
If she and Ming Jinyan didn't have so many insurmountable pasts, if she were still as naive as before, perhaps she would have been moved by Ming Jinyan's actions of caring for her today.
Unfortunately, he is a smiling tiger in human skin.
Lu Mingzhu's eyes were cold and indifferent. Compared to the trembling voice calling Hou Chen's name in the rain last night, she looked more like the real her now.
Just then, a series of footsteps approached subtly.
Lu Mingzhu looked up in an instant and met Mingqi's eyes at the bedroom door.
Ming Jinyan is still not awake.
The two of them looked at each other unexpectedly. Lu Mingzhu's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously tried to adjust her expression, but she saw Mingqi frown.
He seemed to have already seen through Lu Mingzhu's thoughts. After a moment of silent eye contact, Mingqi turned and left.
Lu Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief.
It wasn't that she minded Ming Qi, but the way she looked at Ming Jinyan just now was purely out of a desire to kill him.
If Mingqi, her subordinate, saw that look in her eyes, she feared it might cause some unforeseen trouble.
it's good now……
Ming Jinyan, who was holding her hand, suddenly moved. Lu Mingzhu subconsciously pulled her hand away and turned her face away as if in a huff.
"you're awake?"
Ming Jinyan's voice was hoarse, but it carried a hint of a smile.
Looking at Lu Mingzhu like this, it feels like watching a little girl throwing a tantrum, which is particularly amusing.
He curved his lips into a smile: "Are you still angry with me?"
Lu Mingzhu awkwardly replied, "Mmm!"
Ming Jinyan chuckled and gently grasped Lu Mingzhu's wrist: "Then what will it take to calm me down? Should I let you do whatever you want? Or..."
Lu Mingzhu stiffly pulled her hand away again, as if she were pleading, "Why...why did you bring me back?"
"I don't need your help. I've already said so many harsh things, haven't you given up yet?"
Ming Jin smiled and said, "Mingzhu, as I've said before, I'm older than you and of the same generation as your brother and the others, so of course I'll tolerate everything about you."
Ming Jinyan's eyes were incredibly deep, carrying an indescribable meaning.
He calmly stood up: "Are you feeling better? The doctor will come to give you an injection later. Eat something first."
Lu Mingzhu turned away awkwardly, without answering.
Ming Jinyan chuckled and turned to leave.
His pearl is still so lovely.
Lu Mingzhu awkwardly got out of bed and discovered that women's toiletries, including face wash, had already been placed in the bathroom.
Ming Jinyan wouldn't be this considerate.
Although he appears considerate, he is arrogant at heart. He looks down on everyone and considers himself superior to everyone else.
Such attention to detail is something he could never achieve.
That leaves only... Mingqi.
Lu Mingzhu's eyes flickered, a little strange. These skincare products were the same brands she used a few years ago when she was a pampered young lady at home.
She suppressed her doubts and began to wash up.
This suite is very spacious, and the panoramic indoor dining room is already prepared with a delicious French breakfast, with a cup of rich latte placed next to it.
When Lu Mingzhu finished tidying up and came over, Ming Jinyan was having an elegant meal.
When Ming Jinyan saw her, he gave her a gentle smile: "Come and have breakfast together."
Lu Mingzhu pursed her lips.
I walked over to him, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
Ming Jinyan's smile deepened.
Just then, the screen connected to the tea room started playing sound.
"Thanks to Prince Ming's powerful clarification... the rumors have finally been dispelled... many netizens and media outlets have spontaneously apologized to the Lu Group... We hereby appeal to everyone to trust the country and the credibility of our leading domestic enterprises..."
The sound wasn't loud, but it clearly reached Lu Mingzhu's ears.
Lu Mingzhu raised her head slightly and met Ming Jinyan's smiling eyes.
This is a gesture of goodwill.
Lu Mingzhu clenched her fists slightly, lowered her head, and quickly said, "Thank you."
Her cheeks flushed.
Ming Jinyan curled his lips: "Mingzhu, I want you to know that I would do anything for you, even give up my life, but you know what you should do, right?"
Lu Mingzhu frowned, her red lips slightly parted, and retorted, "I don't... You're meddling too much! Don't say things like that to me!"
She turned her head away, but her face was flushed red.
Ming Jinyan smiled smugly, but it was just shyness.
Such a pearl is also very lovely.
He stopped teasing Lu Mingzhu and pushed the warm milk in front of her: "Drink some milk, it's good for your health."
Lu Mingzhu lowered her head, her eyelashes trembling slightly: "Why... are you still being so good to me?"
"because--"
Ming Jinyan said gently and emotionally, "I love you."
"Mingzhu, to me, you are the only one in this world."
Lu Mingzhu suppressed the nausea in her heart and tried her best to control the expression on her face.
Lu Mingzhu raised her red eyes, on the verge of tears: "But I've been so mean to you..."
"No, not bad..."
Upon seeing Lu Mingzhu so fragile and vulnerable, Ming Jinyan immediately superimposed the image of her now onto the image of Lu Mingzhu who jumped into the sea for him five years ago.
Ming Jinyan's heart softened completely, and he gently took Lu Mingzhu's hand: "You just need to know that I love you, and everything I do for you is for your own good."
What a ridiculous PUA tactic! Is Ming Jinyan using public opinion to threaten the Lu family also for Lu Mingzhu's own good?
On the surface, however, Lu Mingzhu remained gentle and soft-spoken in response.
"……I see."
Ming Jin said, "After breakfast, I'll take you somewhere."
"Um……"
Ming Jinyan looked at Lu Mingzhu who was having a meal, but his thoughts were racing.
When they revisit the old place and relive the memories, Lu Mingzhu's love for him will only reach its peak.
that time……
Lu Mingzhu will then be completely devoted to him.
And he once again defeated Lu Shenxing and Song Mingyi.
Lu Shenxing, hadn't he always hoped to protect his younger sister?
Then he would show Lu Shenxing that Lu Mingzhu had not only chosen him again, but would also become pregnant with his child, and that the child would call Lu Shenxing "uncle".
Just thinking about the expressions on Lu Shenxing and Song Mingyi's faces made Ming Jinyan extremely smug.
He could even regain control of the Six Provinces of Shenwu through Lu Mingzhu...
It’s so beautiful.
Ming Jinyan looked at Lu Mingzhu with tenderness, at the docile Lu Mingzhu.
She was no longer a lover, but a complete prey, a lure.
It belongs solely to him.
……
the other side.
He Lingchuan was still troubled by business matters, but when he saw today's news, his eyes widened in surprise.
The news headline was absolutely sensational.
Prince Ming travels to Haicheng and meets his destined lover, Lu Mingzhu.
[The sweet romance between the eldest daughter of the Lu family and a foreign prince has been captured on camera, with them holding hands while taking a walk!]
what?
He Lingchuan even thought he was seeing things.
