Chapter 1430: Chapter 820: Sneaking In—The Wild Man Secretly Meeting His Girlfriend? (2)

Jiang Mansion

After Jiang Jinsang returned home, the old lady called him to her bedroom. She wanted to ask about what Si Yushan actually did today, as this concerned someone’s lifelong happiness, and at the time, aside from the reporters, only Jiang Jinsang was present.

"He didn’t ask anything later? Just helped Chengsi?" The old lady pondered.

Jiang Jinsang nodded.

"With such a big incident, I was afraid Chengsi might leave a bad impression on them."

"Maybe this is what they call ’fortune favors the foolish’?" Jiang Jinsang chuckled lightly.

"What about Shiyi? I heard your dad say he drank quite a bit tonight."

"He hired a driver, should be home by now. Third brother can take care of himself, so you don’t have to worry." Jiang Shiyi went abroad alone at an early age.

"I’m not worried about your third brother’s other matters, just his lifelong issues..." The old lady sighed deeply, "If it were Xiaosi, I would be urging him every day. Shiyi is more sensible, knows his boundaries, and has his own plans, so I can’t just keep watching him. It’s just that you brothers are all settled, except for him..."

"Didn’t you previously mention the young girl at the lab seemed promising?"

"Why did he suddenly stop mentioning anything? If he doesn’t talk about it, I can’t ask either."

...

If it were Jiang Chengsi, she would have already used her cane to prod him into chasing the girl. However, temperament varies, so the old lady’s attitude toward these grandsons naturally differs.

"You mentioned that third brother is sensible, so you don’t need to worry." Jiang Jinsang felt some matters were better for Jiang Shiyi to disclose personally.

When he went upstairs back to his room, Tang Wan was already asleep, but Jiang Xiaowai seemed to have been awakened by the sound of the door opening.

In the room, a dim night lamp cast a warm and gentle glow on Tang Wan’s face. Jiang Jinsang walked over and tucked the quilt snugly around her, but the little one sleeping next to her squirmed a bit. Jiang Jinsang had just smiled at him...

The little one twisted his body, and astonishingly, turned his backside to him.

Jiang Jinsang frowned, this little one’s sleeping posture has been quite...

Indescribable.

He’s always lying prone, with his butt in the air, truly baffling.

They say it’s not good for children to maintain the same sleeping position for long, it’s best to alternate between a few.

Jiang Jinsang simply turned him over, but this little rascal seemingly opposed him deliberately, twisting back instantly to show his butt again...

Tang Wan, exhausted from taking care of the child during the day, had been sleeping soundly, completely unaware of her husband and son’s antics.

Meanwhile, the old lady, already having little sleep due to her age, couldn’t stop tossing and turning over Jiang Shiyi’s unsettled lifelong affair, unable to fall asleep.

Little did she know, at this very moment, Jiang Shiyi had already arrived at Lin Luyou’s apartment building.

**

Lin Luyou’s neighborhood, considered quite old in Beijing, though the buildings are frequently painted and don’t look run-down, the apartment complex’s trees have been growing for many years. Approaching summer, lush and thriving, they almost completely obscure the street lights.

At ten in the evening, hardly anyone was walking around the neighborhood. Jiang Shiyi called Lin Luyou again from her apartment building, but still couldn’t reach her, and their home was dark.

He called Jiang Jinsang asking him to help locate Lin Luyou’s phone.

It still showed she was home.

When Jiang Shiyi arrived at the neighborhood, he got a box of hangover medicine from a pharmacy at the entrance, swallowed two pills, and the cool breeze sobered him up quite a bit.

At this hour, it wasn’t too appropriate to knock if her parents were home.

But unless he saw her safe himself, he couldn’t settle his worries, fearing some mishap might have occurred at her home.

He took a deep breath, stepped into the apartment building, and the motion sensor light turned on. Lin Luyou’s home was on the second floor, and he soon reached her front door, where he knocked, since the doorbell was broken long ago.

The urgent knocking echoed in the empty silent corridor, as somber as if it were pounding at someone’s heart.

Each strike, Jiang Shiyi held his breath.

Internally debating how to explain if Lin Luyou’s parents opened the door given the late hour...

Unexpectedly, half a minute later, the door opened.

"You went out without keys again, I..."

The one opening the door was Lin Luyou!

She was wearing pajamas, seemingly having just gotten up from bed, originally sleepy eyed, probably suddenly awakened, her expression showed some annoyance, her hair slightly messy, bleary and unfocused.

Only upon seeing the person at the door did she freeze in place.

"Sen... senior?"

Her drowsiness vanished instantly.

This was her home, how did he suddenly appear?

Seeing her eased Jiang Shiyi’s tightly wound nerves, stepping inside, instinctively wanting to pull her into his arms, but Lin Luyou quickly closed the door halfway, leaving a crevice to keep watch on him.

"Yo-you, why are you here?"

The look, just like a thief.

"Are your parents home?"

"My mom and dad went out for a wedding banquet, they’re not back yet." Luckily, her parents were out.

"When will they be back?"

"Soon, I guess."

"I called but you didn’t answer, so I could only come to your place." Shiyi said.

Lin Luyou felt a little regretful, "I put my phone on silent."

"Since your parents aren’t here, could I come in for some tea before I leave? I had a bit to drink and I’m feeling unwell." Jiang Shiyi said frankly.

Lin Luyou’s mind was a bit blank, probably because she hadn’t completely shaken off her sleepiness.

By the time she regained her senses, Jiang Shiyi had already pushed the door open and entered the house.

He was clearly familiar with Lin Luyou’s house, adeptly poured himself a glass of water, and then turned to size her up, "Slept all the way ’til now?"

"Last night’s operation didn’t end until after three, followed them to the station for a meeting, finished as dawn broke, coordinated with others on some work, finally got home at noon."

Lin Luyou knew the place where things were found was Jiang Chengsi’s bar, she was not directly involved in the testing of those pills and powders, but she had been monitoring the testing personnel separating and analyzing the substances until they started the machine to analyze the components, which took time. Only then did she return home.

Having stayed up all night, her body couldn’t handle it, she didn’t even realize she had slept so long.

"So you didn’t have dinner?" Jiang Shiyi frowned, "Last night, this morning, did you eat anything?"

"Just had some boxed lunch at the station."

Although Jiang Shiyi was mostly sober, hearing this made his head start throbbing again.

The younger brother is restless, even the young lady from his own family is making him worry like this...

Seeing his look, Lin Luyou understood how sharp-tongued he could be, and with him having had some drinks earlier, his eyes still slightly bloodshot, looking at her, inevitably more intense.

She coughed gently, just about to explain, when voices suddenly came from outside:

"...Told you not to drink so much."

"I’m just happy."

"Other people’s kid is getting married, their own parents aren’t as happy as you."

"We’ve watched them grow up. If it was our daughter getting married, I’d host a three-day feast."

...

Lin Luyou’s pupils tremble slightly, glancing at Jiang Shiyi, eyes wide with shock, her parents are back!

Jiang Shiyi was still calmly sipping his drink, his demeanor exceptionally composed; he and Lin Luyou hadn’t done anything shameful.

If Lin Luyou temporarily didn’t want her family to know about their relationship, although it’s a bit late now, he could use the excuse that he was passing by to check on their health, it could sort of work.

But the young lady seemed to be panicking, looking around frantically.

"Yo..."

Jiang Shiyi had just put down the cup, intending to ask her what she was looking at, when Lin Luyou suddenly walked over quickly, grabbed his hand, and pulled him into her room.

With the bedroom door closing, the outer security door of Lin’s house also opened.

"Youyou, still awake?" It was Lin Luyou’s mother speaking.

At this moment, Jiang Shiyi was pressed against one side of the wall by Lin Luyou, as she covered his mouth, not allowing him to make any sound.

"Youyou?" Her mother spoke again, "What’s going on with this girl? She didn’t even turn off the lights in the living room... Didn’t touch the dinner we made for her, refused to come with us for the banquet, we made food for her and she doesn’t even eat."

Lin Luyou was about to go crazy with fear. She had always been a well-behaved child, never doing anything bad behind her parents’ backs, yet here she was, inexplicably hiding a man at home, how would she explain it if her parents found out?

Jiang Shiyi was even more bewildered...

To be honest, the two of them were just in the living room, neither indulging nor behaving improperly, even if her parents returned, there was nothing wrong.

But Lin Luyou insisted on pulling him into the room to hide, it turned the situation inexplicable.

Lin Luyou realized her mistake too, and felt both anxious and annoyed, if she took him out of the bedroom now...

Even if they were innocent, her parents might not believe it.

As Lin Luyou pondered what to do, her mother knocked on the bedroom door:

"Youyou? Asleep?"

Lin Luyou felt like she was facing a great enemy, Jiang Shiyi was a bit bemused; they could have greeted her parents openly, yet now he seemed like some wild man secretly meeting a girlfriend through the window?
