Chapter 998: Lu Jinyan, I Like You

Wen Duoduo received a call from Lu Jinyan, finding out he would take her and Song Dabai to the lakeside for a barbecue in half an hour, which made her busy.

Busy looking for clothes, changing clothes, matching them with a suitable bag, then putting on makeup, and so on...

In the end, she chose a simple styled beige waist-tie dress paired with a camel coat to appear in front of Lu Jinyan.

Upon seeing her, Song Dabai couldn’t help but give a thumbs-up, "Wow! Godmother, you look so pretty today!"

"I’ve told you many times, call me Sister Duoduo, Sister! Don’t call me old, especially in front of Brother Jinyan!"

Wen Duoduo feigned anger, grabbing Song Dabai’s chubby hand, leaning close to his ear, and softly chiding.

Song Dabai stuck out his little red tongue and said, "Oh."

At this moment, Lu Jinyan’s gaze lingered on Wen Duoduo for a good half-minute before nodding gently with a positive comment.

"Not bad, very beautiful."

Wen Duoduo felt her face heat up slightly.

He walked over to hold her hand but was flicked away by Song Dabai.

"Brother Jinyan, I want to play on the swing!"

The little guy’s so-called swing game involved holding the hands of two adults and swinging through the air like a swing.

He was particularly fond of this game.

He used to love playing this game holding onto Lu Jihan and Song Yinyin’s hands, but now that Mommy was expecting a little sister, he couldn’t hold her hand to play anymore.

Wen Duoduo knew the little guy’s preference and nodded, "Okay."

The three of them, two adults and one child, merrily got into the car.

The weather that day was particularly nice, combined with a warming temperature in Imperial City, many families planned weekend trips to the lake for some sun, barbecue, and cycling.

Lu Jinyan was quite well-prepared for the barbecue, even bringing along a few bottles of fruit wine.

Wen Duoduo tried it and found it tasted pretty good, just like soda, but she underestimated the alcohol’s aftereffects, which caused her ears to start turning red and her head to feel dizzy after two cups.

Seeing this, Lu Jinyan let her sit and rest on the tent and carpet he had set up.

The weather was warm, and sitting on the carpet, Wen Duoduo felt the spring breeze, a bit dizzy, but very comfortable.

Song Dabai was flying a kite on the lawn, while Lu Jinyan sat down next to Wen Duoduo, watching him from a distance.

Wen Duoduo covered her mouth, yawning, "I’m soooo sleepy, why am I dizzy, is it that fruit wine..."

"You just found out now? I told you that fruit wine was strong, you didn’t listen, and drank two bottles at once, now you’re feeling the effects, right?"

Lu Jinyan gently pinched her nose, saying softly, "Lean on me and sleep for a bit, I’ll wake you up later."

With that, he took off his jacket and covered her with it.

Wen Duoduo mumbled in response, with sleepiness overwhelming her, drowsy, she didn’t bother to say anything and just leaned sideways to sleep.

Seeing her head gradually lowering, Lu Jinyan reached out to hold her shoulder, letting her head rest on his shoulder for comfort.

His palm gently rubbed her smooth shoulder, looking down at her intoxicated look.

Her face was red with the blush of alcohol, and the fine hair on her cheekbones was clearly visible, with her earlobes like ripe tomatoes.

She looked so cute that Lu Jinyan couldn’t help but reach up and pinch one of her earlobes.

Suddenly, Wen Duoduo murmured in her sleep.

He leaned in closer, unable to hear her at first, but this time he heard clearly, she was saying, "Lu Jinyan, I like you."
