Ku Jie used to Lu Jingzhi in the past because he thought that Lu Jingzhi was merely taking advantage of Jiang Yuning. He assumed that Lu Jingzhi was just like Lu Zongye—that he was only messing around with Jiang Yuning as Lu Zongye did in the past.

However, Jiang Yuning had repeatedly spoken up for Lu Jingzhi and had even assured him that the relationship between Lu Jingzhi and herself was real. Therefore, he finally understood the situation, but there were still certain things that he wanted to discuss with Lu Jingzhi in advance.

“Alright then.”

Jiang Yuning could only look at the both of them helplessly as she already knew that this day would come eventually.

“Okay then, but both of you are not allowed to fight.”

Ku Jie rolled his eyes once again, knowing that Jiang Yuning had only said that because she was trying to protect Lu Jingzhi.

The three of them then quickly finished dinner before Lu Jingzhi and Ku Jie proceeded to the balcony for a chat as Lu Jingzhi’s study room was confidential.

The two tall and handsome men stood together on the balcony, looking extremely attractive even from the back. How could anyone in the entertainment industry be compared to the two of them?

Jiang Yuning tried to eavesdrop on their conversation but was quickly discovered by Ku Jie. Ku Jie then pulled her ear and said, “Can you just give us men some privacy just for a short while?”

Lu Jingzhi looked at Jiang Yuning’s red ear and his heart started aching immediately.

“Fine, I will go out now.”

Jiang Yuning stuck her tongue out at Ku Jie. She could only ever reveal such a childish side of herself in front of Ku Jie because of their close relationship.

Jiang Yuning then quickly returned to the living room before taking out her script to go through it once again. At the same time, Ku Jie finally began talking to Lu Jingzhi.

“I have always known about Ningning’s feelings for you. She has always had feelings for you ever since she was a young girl. However, at that time, I felt that the two of you belonged to two completely different world,” Ku Jie said as he leaned against the fence and allowed the cooling sea breeze to blow lightly against his hair. “I know that you have given up a lot and done so much for her in the past, yet I feel that you should not think that she is indebted to you because she has also suffered a lot for you.”

“When she was fifteen years old, she stupidly ran to your university to wait for you and camped in front of you school gate for three days and four nights. When she finally came home, she was down with a high fever for the entire week.”

“When she was sixteen years old, Lu Zongye tricked her into meet him at the grove behind the school campus and she was bullied by three men there. If it was not for the gardener who saved her, she would not have been able to make it back home.”

“When she was seventeen years old, she went to your university to attend your graduation ceremony but when she came home, she was extremely depressed and that lasted for more than half a year. Later on, she was once more tricked by Lu Zongye and almost got into trouble once again.”

“I have told her time and time again not to have anything to do with the Lu family anymore, but she refuses to listen. She told me then that it was the only chance that she would have to see you and that she did not want to miss out on it.”


“Therefore, when she was eighteen years old, she insisted on attending the feast hosted by the Lu family.”

“Lu Jingzhi, I have watched Ningning suffered time and time again. My heart has ached for her all these times.”
