Miss Lu Turned Her Back, Her Six Brothers Begged for Forgiveness - Chapter 63:

Chapter 63: Sixth Brother Finally Regrets It

Lu Ning glanced at Ji Chiqian sitting beside her, and her face instantly flushed. She stammered, “Boss, you misunderstood. He’s not my boyfriend.”

The boss chuckled, “I know, young people always say that. But he’s quite handsome.”

Blushing, Lu Ning returned to her seat. Across from her, the man looked up, “What did the boss say?”

“Nothing… nothing. Master, is there anything you want to eat?”

“I’m not hungry.”

Ji Chiqian wasn’t fond of these kinds of foods. He noticed the boss brought a plate of peanuts and two cans of beer. He frowned at Lu Ning, “Kids shouldn’t drink.”

“I’m already an adult. Why can’t I drink?”

Lu Ning felt she had reason to celebrate after successfully signing with Douxia Live Stream. She was finally financially independent with her own source of income. Why shouldn’t she celebrate?

Ji Chiqian pulled the beer in front of her over to himself, “No.”

Lu Ning pouted in frustration.

At that moment, Ji Chiqian’s phone rang. He stood up, “I’m going to take a call.”

Lu Ning watched him leave, then stealthily pulled the beer back.

He didn’t allow her to drink—she would drink anyway.

Ji Chiqian walked to the roadside and answered the phone, “Hello, Mom.”

“Xiaoqian, aren’t you done with your business in A City yet?”

“Almost.”

“That’s good. We should start discussing your engagement with Miss Mo. What do you think?”

Ji Chiqian looked at his elongated shadow on the road, his tone cold, “Let’s talk about it when I get back. Take care of your health first.”

“Miss Mo is very good, and she’s filial. She often comes to chat with me when you’re not around. Since you don’t have a girl you like, you might as well marry someone well-matched. Don’t you think?”

Ji Chiqian’s side profile turned cold, his eyes darkened with hostility. He pressed his thin lips together and said softly, “Take care of your health first.”

After coaxing his mother for a while, he hung up and looked down at his phone before sending a message: [Check what’s going on with the Mo family recently.]

Ji Chiqian stood there quietly for a moment. When he turned to look back at Lu Ning, he saw her holding a beer and drinking.

His brow furrowed, and he strode over, “Who said you could drink?”

He snatched the beer from her hand. Lu Ning tilted her head to look at him, “I did. Isn’t that allowed?”

Ji Chiqian glanced at the several empty beer cans on the table—she had clearly drunk quite a bit.

Expressionless, Ji Chiqian helped Lu Ning up, “Lu Ning, wake up!”

“What for?”

“Going home.”

Lu Ning shook her head, “I don’t have a home anymore. Now, the whole world is my home.”

Ji Chiqian saw the tear stains under her eyes and directly pulled her into his arms, speaking calmly, “Stop being stubborn.”

“I’m not. I’m perfectly sober.”

Lu Ning looked up at him. His side profile was really handsome. She couldn’t resist reaching out to touch his face, “Master, has anyone ever told you that you’re very handsome?”

Ji Chiqian’s throat bobbed slightly. He said nothing and simply walked toward the parking area with her.

After settling her in the passenger seat, he returned to the driver’s seat, feeling awkward as he said, “Seatbelt.”

Lu Ning blinked, “Right, seatbelt, the belt of life!”

She reached for the seatbelt but couldn’t pull it out no matter how hard she tried. How strange.

Unable to watch anymore, Ji Chiqian leaned over to help her buckle it.

At that moment, they were very close.

He could smell the beer on her breath.

She could see the length of his eyelashes.

Lu Ning held her breath. Impulsively, she hugged his arm.

Ji Chiqian froze and turned his head slightly, seeing her clear black-and-white almond eyes.

His throat tightened, “What…”

Lu Ning leaned in and gave him a quick kiss. After the kiss, she was extremely nervous.

He stayed frozen, the streetlights outside blurring his profile, making it hard to see his expression.

Lu Ning stammered, “Master, if you don’t have a girlfriend… how about me?”

Ji Chiqian’s pupils contracted sharply.

It was like an electric shock. He quickly pulled back.

His hand rested on the steering wheel, “You’re drunk.”

He said no more, started the car, and drove toward the apartment.

The whole way, neither of them spoke.

Only after a long time did Ji Chiqian’s mood settle. When the car stopped at a red light, he glanced sideways at the passenger seat and found Lu Ning already asleep.

In all his years, he had never felt as conflicted as he had just now. And she had simply fallen asleep.

He could only hope she wouldn’t remember anything in the morning.

Ji Chiqian drove back to the apartment and carried Lu Ning into her room.

He helped her remove her high heels and pulled a blanket over her.

Standing by the bed, he stared at her for a moment, his gaze complicated and deep.

As he turned to leave, he heard her murmur, “Mom, I want some water.”

He froze. Hearing her softly call “Mom” made his chest feel tight and suffocated.

Ji Chiqian poured a glass of water and sat by the bed, helping Lu Ning sit up to drink.

After finishing the water, Lu Ning hugged him tightly, “Mom, I miss you so much. You’re the only one who’s always been good to me.”

Ji Chiqian’s hand tightened around the glass.

At that moment, he felt like he was sinking into a deep sea, endlessly falling with no way to resurface.

Late at night, the light from outside shone faintly into the room.

Ji Chiqian looked at the sleeping girl and vaguely felt that something had changed.

…

The next morning.

Lu Ning woke up with a splitting headache. She rubbed her dizzy head.

Did she drink too much last night?

She vaguely remembered sneaking a few sips while Ji Chiqian wasn’t around, but the rest was a blur.

She noticed she was still wearing yesterday’s dress, which felt uncomfortable.

Quickly, she took a shower, which made her feel a bit better.

But she still couldn’t recall what exactly happened after she got drunk.

She opened her phone and saw the news headlines about her exposed identity.

[The True Identity of Famous Streamer Sweet Lemon: The Lu Family’s Eldest Daughter!]

Lu Ning had expected this exposure after attending the event.

She hadn’t tried to hide anything anyway.

Exposure was good. Otherwise, the rumors about her having a wealthy patron would never be cleared.

As for Lu Liu’s confident claim that she would join Lu Tian Team—it had become a complete joke.

At that moment, her phone rang.

She saw the familiar number—it was Lu Liu.

Lu Ning directly hung up, smiling coldly. Where did Lu Liu get the face to think she would join Lu Tian Team?

But her private messages on the gaming forum started popping up crazily.

[Lu Ning, answer the phone. Are you guilty, hiding from me?]

[Lu Ning, I order you to immediately explain to the media that you were the one begging to join Lu Tian Team all along!]
