Chapter 331: A Way to Fall Asleep Quickly (1)

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Jiang Yining took a shower and felt completely exhausted and without any strength.

According to her usual habits, she would have gone to bed early.

However, she had discovered too many things today.

All kinds of information flooded her mind, making it impossible for her to sleep in excitement.

Jiang Yining closed her eyes and counted the people who attended the banquet tonight.

Thomas was notably suspicious due to his behavior.

The others were from the Ruan family, the Ye family, and the Zhong family from the capital city.

These three families were very active in participating in the auction.

And that Huo Tingchen…

The last time she saw him at the casino, she already felt that he wasn’t simple.

This time, he appeared at the auction for no apparent reason. Even if he didn’t do anything, it felt suspicious.

Once back home, she would thoroughly investigate these people.

Jiang Yining was deep in thought.

There was a knock on the door.

She thought that Thomas was still harboring evil intentions and wanted to continue asking her for compensation.

She picked up a pillow and covered her head.

She ignored him.

The knocking continued for a moment.

A deep, pleasant, and familiar male voice came from the door.

“Jiang Yining, 1 know you’re not asleep. Hurry up and open the door.”

Jiang Yining abruptly removed the pillow from her head.

She sat up.

She walked to the door and opened it.

Looking at Lu Zhi who was standing outside, she asked happily, “Why are you here?”

Lu Zhi lifted the tray in his hand. “I was afraid you would catch a cold, so 1 brought you warm milk. However, from your tone, you don’t seem to welcome me.”

“Welcome, welcome. I’m thrilled to see you!”

Jiang Yining happily pulled him into the room.

Lu Zhi’s lips curled up slightly.

He walked into the room and placed the milk on the table. He turned back to look at her.” Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”

“I’m fine. I’m just soaking in some cold water. There’s no problem.”

Jiang Yining picked up the glass of milk, sat cross-legged on the sofa, and drank it slowly.

She couldn’t help but steal glances at him from the corner of her eyes.

How strange…

In the past, she only thought that Lu Zhi was handsome, but he wasn’t that seductive.

Why was it that tonight, with him standing there motionless, her heart started pounding wildly?

Her heartbeat was so loud that it was like thunder. It was too embarrassing.

Jiang Yining secretly despised herself.

Lu Zhi asked, “Who do you find the most suspicious?”

Jiang Yining didn’t hesitate to tell me all the families she suspected.

Lu Zhi nodded. “Okay, I will send Qi Feng to investigate.”

“Good.”

Jiang Yining finished the rest of the milk in one gulp. “It’s getting late. Do you want to go back and rest?”

Lu Zhi didn’t leave. Instead, he walked up to her and looked down at her, asking, “Are you unable to sleep tonight?”

“How did you know?”

Jiang Yining asked.

Of course, it was only because he couldn’t sleep that he guessed that she couldn’t sleep.

After all, the matter that they had been thinking about for so long finally had a lead.

Anyone would be excited.

However-

At this moment, she was the one who moved his heart even more.

Lu Zhi’s burning gaze landed on her lips stained with milk. He said in a low, hoarse voice, “I have a way to help you fall asleep quickly.”

“What is it?”

Jiang Yining became even more curious.

Lu Zhi placed his hands on both sides of the sofa. His handsome face closed to hers and whispered something.

Jiang Yining’s face instantly turned red. “Lu Zhi! Get lost!”

To think he would suggest using that matte to help her fall asleep?

“I’m serious. If a person is tired, they will fall asleep very quickly.”

“Get lost!”

Jiang Yining shouted angrily.

Lu Zhi smiled. “Alright, I’m leaving. Remember to sleep early. Don’t think too much.”

She wasn’t thinking much in the first place!

It was only because of his words that she started overthinking.

Jiang Yining snorted and ignored him.

Lu Zhi turned around and left the bedroom.

Jiang Yining was the only one left in the room. She cupped her burning face.

She bit her lower lip hard.

Humph!

She wouldn’t let him succeed so easily.

It was said that men were cheap. The easier it was for them to get it, the less they cherished it.

On the contrary, the harder it was to obtain, the more precious it was.

Lu Zhi was indeed better than 99% of men.

But…

She had to give him more tests.

Only then could she confidently entrust the rest of her life to him.

After being interrupted by Lu Zhi, Jiang Yining couldn’t be bothered to investigate the mastermind anymore.

She lay on the bed and tossed and turned for a while.

Then, she fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, in the morning.

Qi Feng had caught a cold.

Jiang Yining and All Man felt a little guilty. After all, it was because of them that he had no clothes to wear.

Jiang Yining prescribed him some medicine and told him to drink it..
