Chapter 167: Are you going on a date?

She stood before him, calling out to him while patting his cheek with her palm.

Lu Yunze really wanted to say he was fine, but at the thought that Jiang Sui was the one truly affected, he couldn’t help but bite his lip.

‘I’m a beast, a total beast… Lu Yunze, how could you do something like this?’

“Young Master, Young Master?”

Jiang Sui was still shaking his shoulder.

Lu Yunze slowly sat up, facing her in a kneeling position.

“I’m sorry, Jiang Sui… about last night.”

“Last night?” Jiang Sui blinked. “What happened last night?”

Seeing her natural expression, which didn’t seem faked, Lu Yunze felt even worse.

“It’s just… I accidentally got drunk last night.”

“And then?”

“You took me back to bed, and then… I did something to you that was worse than a beast…”

After saying this, Lu Yunze completely lost the courage to look at her. He closed his eyes, waiting for her to scold him.

However, the expected scolding never came.

Jiang Sui froze for two seconds, seemingly understanding something, and a devious smile spread across her face instead.

“So the Young Master thought we had sex last night?”

She put it very bluntly.

Lu Yunze was stunned, but a bad premonition faintly rose in his heart.

Why did it seem like… he was the one being led along?

“That makes sense. Since the Young Master was drunk, you really don’t remember what happened.”

Then, Jiang Sui briefly explained the events of the previous night.

It turned out that while Lu Yunze and Xia Youqing were having their drinking contest, he ignored all warnings and downed another bottle of wine. Then, with a loud *thud*, he fell face-first onto the table and fell asleep.

Jiang Sui had no choice but to fulfill her duties as a maid and carry him back to the bedroom on her back.

In the end, the two of them just slept together until dawn.

“So you’re saying… nothing happened?”

“That’s right.”

Lu Yunze took a sharp breath.

Then why were they hugging each other when they woke up, and why was his hand inside her clothes?

Just as he was feeling confused, Jiang Sui spoke again with a smile, her tone soft and ambiguous.

“Did the Young Master actually want something to happen between us last night?”

“Ah, no…”

“Forget it, forget it.”

Seeing him deny it, Jiang Sui sighed softly.

In reality, she hadn’t told the complete truth.

Last night… something had indeed happened.

When she brought Lu Yunze back to the bed and looked at his unconscious form, a thought had flashed through her mind—

If she solidified their relationship now, would she be able to keep him firmly by her side?

Perhaps no matter what happened in the future, she would have an absolute bargaining chip.

But the reality was—

Lu Yunze had drunk too much. The moment he lay down, he fell into a death-like sleep.

No matter how she called him, there was no response.

After she finished her shower and returned, she tried a few more times, but it was still useless.

Eventually, she had to give up and just go to sleep.

However, things weren’t that simple.

Lu Yunze’s sleeping posture was incredibly poor.

Even though he was unconscious from the alcohol, he kept tossing and turning on the bed, making it impossible for her to sleep.

To pin him down, she had to hug him.

Later, she simply used his hand to… relieve her own tension, and only then did she slowly drift off to sleep.

Naturally, she buried all of these things deep in her heart.

When she woke up the next morning and saw Lu Yunze wallowing in self-reproach, she certainly wasn’t going to say anything.

“So, truly nothing happened?”

“Nothing.”

“That expression of yours… it’s really hard for me to believe you entirely.”

“If the Young Master doesn’t believe it, you can check for yourself.” The corners of Jiang Sui’s mouth curled up slightly. “I’m not afraid of the pain; I’m just afraid the Young Master’s hand will get stained with blood.”

“Stop, stop, stop! Don’t say another word!”

Lu Yunze hurried to interrupt her.

“As long as nothing happened, as long as nothing happened…”

He let out a complete sigh of relief and collapsed back onto the bed.

The morning had been so soul-stirring that he suspected his mental state might collapse today.

However, after he accompanied Jiang Sui out to buy breakfast, he quickly realized he was overthinking things.

Nothing was more healing to the soul than morning buns and soy milk.

Only while eating breakfast, Lu Yunze couldn’t help but complain to Xia Youqing.

“Madam, it’s all your fault for scaring me last night. I thought things had become irreversible.”

“Huh? Did I say something?” Xia Youqing looked innocent. “I only told you to follow your own thoughts.”

Lu Yunze’s lips twitched.

This mother and daughter… were exactly the same in this regard.

He absolutely could not trust their words easily in the future.

After finishing breakfast, Lu Yunze began to feel bored again.

Jiang Sui’s house was indeed not large, and there wasn’t much entertainment equipment.

The television was an old model, and the picture quality was a bit blurry.

Thus, he could only sit on the sofa and play with his mobile phone.

Fortunately, Jiang Sui noticed his boredom and took him along when she went out to buy groceries.

“Young Master, did you buy the meat I asked you to buy?”

“Right here.”

“Let me guess… you bought it at the original price, didn’t you?”

“Is there a problem?”

Looking at his dazed face, Jiang Sui couldn’t help but sigh.

“So the Young Master doesn’t know how to haggle.”

“Is it necessary? It’s not expensive.”

To be honest, every time he came to Jiang Sui’s house, Lu Yunze would spend some money.

But their expenses were much lower than he imagined.

The most expensive thing was actually just buying groceries.

On the way back, as Jiang Sui carried the vegetables, she couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

“The Young Master… is truly a rich man.”

“Stop sighing. From now on, I’ll cover all your family’s food expenses.”

“Really?”

“This small amount of money is nothing to me.”

Jiang Sui was slightly stunned, then she smiled and said, “Young Master, tell me… does this count as me being under your Financial Sponsorship?”

“Huh?”

It would have been fine if she hadn’t said it, but once she did, Lu Yunze was stunned.

It really… did seem a bit like that.

“I understand.” Jiang Sui gave a sweet smile. “As a woman under Financial Sponsorship, I will keep the Young Master’s secrets.”

She even intentionally raised her voice, drawing side-eyed glances from passersby.

Lu Yunze hurriedly signaled for her to lower her voice.

This was too embarrassing.

However, as someone under “Financial Sponsorship,” Jiang Sui was also seriously “fulfilling her value.”

In the kitchen, she tied up her hair, put on an apron, and prepared a table of delicious food.

In the bedroom, her massage techniques allowed Lu Yunze to relax to the extreme.

Even when night fell—

She would proactively lean closer.

In the beginning, Lu Yunze refused.

But the bed wasn’t large, and creating distance made it easy to fall off.

Slowly, he actually grew accustomed to it.

Her body was softer than any pillow, and she carried a faint fragrance.

The only problem was—

There was another “observer” in this house.

Xia Youqing would always “pass by” from time to time, making it completely impossible to relax.

“Hiss… that hurts.”

Lu Yunze suddenly stopped his movements.

His finger hurt, but it wasn’t bleeding.

“Is the Young Master okay?”

“I’m fine.”

“I see that the Young Master has been a bit distracted lately. Do you find my home too boring?”

“No, it’s great as long as you’re here.”

If it were anyone else, they might have been shy upon hearing these words.

But Jiang Sui only gave a faint smile.

“Since the Young Master is so happy being with me, then do you want to go somewhere even happier?”

“Where?”

Jiang Sui took out two tickets.

“Central City Amusement Park.”

“Where did you get these?”

“It’s a secret.”

An amusement park…

Lu Yunze thought about it.

“Sure.”

“Then it’s a promise. We’ll leave tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

It was a rare occasion where Jiang Sui didn’t keep him overnight and instead let him go back to prepare.

On the way back, he started to think.

Going to an amusement park… what exactly did he need to prepare?

So, he sent messages to his friends to ask.

As a result—

Everyone’s answer was surprisingly consistent.
