Chapter 217 - Ning Zhi felt that her heart was beating out of control. (3)
The middle-aged obviously had a lot to drink and was drunk. Noticing that it was Ning Zhi, he apologized quickly. “Ah, it’s my niece. I’m sorry, Uncle had a bit too much to drink and I wasn’t walking straight.”
The middle-aged man was from another side branch of the Ning family. Old Mr. Ning had introduced to Ning Zhi earlier. The Ning had three side branches – Ning Xiaomeng’s family, Ning Lianlian’s family who had started the rumors, and then that was this middle-aged man’s family.
“It’s quite alright, Third Uncle.” Going by their generations, the middle-aged man in front of her was a cousin of Ning Zhi’s father, making him Ning Zhi’s Third Uncle.
“Are you on your way home?” The middle-aged man burped and even the air that he breathed out reeked of the smell of alcohol.
“Yes.” Ning Zhi maintained a decent smile on her.
Ning Hai stumbled and could not walk in a straight line. “Then Third Uncle should not keep you any longer. Do swing by and visit me at my place when you have time.”
“I shall,” said Ning Zhi as she walked out with Lu Jue in tow.
The car from the Ning family was already waiting there and Ning Zhi entered the car with Lu Jue.
“You are coming with me to my place and we will head back to City B in a few days.”
There was no light inside the car and it was dim. Sitting next to Ning Zhi, Lu Jue nodded docilely when he heard Ning Zhi mentioning about going home. “Go home together.”
After a long night, Ning Zhi was starting to get a little tired as well. She still had on the long gown from the evening and she was unbelievably attractive.
Leaning against Lu Jue and looking languid, she asked him, “Do you find my Grandpa intimidating?”
Ning Zhi knew that her grandfather did not like Lu Jue.
Lu Jue lowered his head. Looking at Ning Zhi who was leaning against his chest, he felt an unfamiliar but comfortable feeling.
After a long while, he responded to her slowly, “No, I don’t.”
Lu Jue did not know what intimidation was.
Ning Zhi smiled and said, “Right, good. Xiao Juejue is so cute. Grandpa will learn that you are nice in due time.”
Lu Jue pinched his lips shut a little and said in his hoarse voice. “I good.”
He also did not know what humble was.
Ning Zhi couldn't help but reached out to pinch him on his cheek. “Right, you are the best.”
The car braked suddenly and Ning Zhi’s body was thrown forward suddenly.
There was a loud impact noise and Ning Zhi felt that the car had bounced off and she was stunned.
The very next second, everything went dark in front of her eyes and she fell into a wide and sturdy embrace.
The car came to a screeching stop but Ning Zhi could smell a fresh scent in her nose.
Ning Zhi couldn’t hear anything anymore other than Lu Jue whispering into her ear, “Hug Zhizhi. Tightly.”
She could feel the strength around her increased and both her eyes and nose were sore.
The car windows shattered and Ning Zhi could feel Lu Jue’s body tensed up and he let out a grunt, but the embrace was even firmer.
“Lu Jue!”
The car came to a complete stop.
And screeching noises could be heard when the car behind them came to a stop.
The bodyguard who had been following them came rushing up. “Young Master, Young Madam. Are you alright?”
Ning Zhi looked up from Lu Jue’s embrace and saw that he was bleeding from his head. Still looking dazed, there was no fear nor nervousness on him. He merely looked at her calmly and said slowly, “Protect Zhizhi.”
He can protect Zhizhi.
Ning Zhi’s eyes turned red instantly and she said, “Call the ambulance! Hurry!”
It was chaotic at the scene. They were surrounded by many passersby and they were taking photos and making calls.
One of the bodyguards called an ambulance and the other one waited with the driver who had caused the accident.
The car door on the right side was indented and Ning Zhi was glad that she and Lu Jue were both sitting on the left side today.
Ning Zhi checked out on Lu Jue and learned that he was not injured anywhere else.
She reached out her hand and she the tips of her fingers trembled madly. She had no idea whether it was from fear or worry.
She would admit that she was scared.
She dared not touch the wound on Lu Jue’s forehead. Instead, she placed her cheek on his. “I regret that I did not tell you that you must first learn to protect yourself in a dangerous situation.’
Looking at Ning Zhi, Lu Jue shook his head and said both stubbornly and seriously. “Protect Zhizhi. Want to protect.”
Ning Zhi felt that the tip of her heart had been pinched by someone. It felt like it was swelling and, at the same time, beating out of control.
