Chapter 999: That Moment, My Heart Took a Heavy Blow

At that moment, Lu Jinyan felt as if his heart had been struck heavily.

Then, his once mighty heart skipped a beat because of Wen Duoduo’s words.

This was the first time she had said this sentence.

...

Wen Duoduo had an extremely comfortable afternoon nap.

By the time she woke up, it was already dusk.

She had no idea when Lu Jinyan had carried her to the car, completely oblivious, which made her feel quite embarrassed.

Did she really sleep that deeply?!

She hoped she hadn’t made a fool of herself.

Just as she was pondering, she suddenly realized that Song Dabai was nowhere to be seen, and jumped up in surprise.

"Hey, where’s Dabai?"

"I’ve already sent him back."

"Sent him back?"

Wen Duoduo was taken aback: "When did that happen? Why didn’t I know at all?!"

"You were sleeping so deeply, of course you wouldn’t know."

Lu Jinyan remarked with a light smile.

Honestly, Wen Duoduo really did sleep very deeply.

Half an hour after she fell asleep, Lu Jinyan had tried to wake her once, but she was too sound asleep to wake up.

Worried she might catch a cold, Lu Jinyan carried her to the car, packed up the tent and kite, and let Song Dabai get in the car.

After that, he first took Song Dabai back to the Lu Family’s old residence, then drove Wen Duoduo back to her apartment.

Seeing Wen Duoduo rubbing her temples painfully, he reached out and massaged the points on either side for her.

"Just two bottles of fruit wine, and you’re this drunk?" Lu Jinyan asked softly.

"I don’t know either."

Wen Duoduo shook her head in frustration, "Maybe I slept too soundly last night. I was livestreaming last night and went to bed very late."

Although she had a formal job, Wen Duoduo would still dabble in streaming on internet platforms when she had time.

Recently, she started streaming cooking.

Much to her surprise, her new style had a good impact, and viewers thought her cooking streams were far more appealing than her ghost acting ones.

Overnight, her follower count also saw a substantial increase, and some even asked to try her handmade dishes.

Of course, Lu Jinyan didn’t know any of this. If he did, he’d probably feel a touch of jealousy.

"No more staying up late from now on, got it?" Though it was such a domineering insistence, Lu Jinyan’s tone was unbelievably gentle.

Wen Duoduo instinctively looked into his eyes, momentarily surprised.

Was it because the evening twilight was so beautiful tonight?

Why did his captivating peach blossom eyes shine with such a dazzling and clear brilliance, like obsidian, mesmerizing her completely?

She stared at him dumbfounded, and softly murmured, "Oh."

Then, she saw Lu Jinyan’s lips curve slightly with a faint smile, "Do you remember the sleep-talking you did just now?"

"What sleep-talking?"

Wen Duoduo was stunned for a moment, feeling a nervous jolt in her heart.

Did she say something she shouldn’t have while sleeping so deeply?

"Think carefully."

He cradled her face in his hands, gave a hint with a blink, and slowly helped tuck her hair back, gently smoothing the hair on her forehead with his fingertips.

Being stared at made Wen Duoduo anxious, and she awkwardly shook her head, "I... can’t remember."

She dared not look at him, probably guessing she must have said something very revealing in her sleep.

She turned around to escape.

But, Lu Jinyan suddenly stretched out his long arm, pulled her gently, drawing her back into his embrace.

"Duoduo."

Suddenly, his chest pressed against her back.
