Chapter 298: We Will Pick You Up at Night, Little Maiden
“You...know all about it?” Jiang Yuning asked in a careful manner.
“Why are you still so obsessed about those items?” Lu Jingzhi asked Jiang Yuning as he leaned sideways and rested his head on his palm. “If I had really thought that those items were so important to me, I would have taken the initiative to get them back a long time ago. Therefore, you really do not need to do all these right now.”
“I just feel that I have not been able to do anything for you at all ever since we got together. This is one of the few small things I can do for you. I know that there is nothing much I can do for you, and that is why I thought of getting Aunt’s belongings back for you...just so you can have a little less regret in your life.”
“What did you...just call Mom?” Lu Jingzhi immediately took this opportunity to point out Jiang Yuning’s mistake.
“I am wrong. It’s my fault. I meant to say that it’s our mother’s belongings,” Jiang Yuning rephrased her sentence immediately.
Lu Jingzhi reached out his hands and hugged Jiang Yuning tightly in his arms before he whispered in her ear, “That is your mother-in-law. Do you really want to reject her kindness and love for you? If you really do not want me to have any regrets, and you do not want my mother to have any regrets, then you should come with me with our marriage certificate to pay your respects to her at her tomb one day. This is the best that you can do for us.”
“Second Brother...”
“Those items already belong to someone else, and perhaps they also mean something important to someone else right now. Therefore, it no longer carries any significant meaning or memories of my mother. Besides that, my mother has so many other belongings, so why are you so obsessed over those items?”
Lu Jingzhi rubbed his finger against Jiang Yuning’s nose. “Stop worrying about it, okay?”
“But...”
“There are so many other things that you can do for me. So, just let the past be in the past. All I ask from you is that you stay by my side until the day I die. This way, I will have no other regrets in my life.”
After listening to Lu Jingzhi’s words, Jiang Yuning’s eyes were red and tears started welling up in her eyes. She hugged Lu Jingzhi tightly.
“But I love you so much. I really love you so much to the point I no longer know how to express what I feel for you. I will never be able to do or offer you so much like what you have done for me, but I want you to know that all of my feelings and emotions exists solely because of you, Second Brother...I really love you.”
After listening to Jiang Yuning, Lu Jingzhi laid down before he rested Jiang Yuning’s head against his chest. “I know how you feel.”
“I will be going over to a neighboring city tomorrow to participate in a promotional event. I will be back later in the evening. Can we stop by the graveyard to pay our respects to Mom tomorrow? I can’t wait to see her already.”
“Since we will not be able to meet up during the day tomorrow, then...how should you reward me now?” Lu Jingzhi asked in a serious manner?
Jiang Yuning was stunned for a moment before she stuttered, “But...we do not usually get to see each other during the day anyway...”
“Huh?”
...
Early the next morning, Jiang Yuning appeared in front of Vera with dark circles under her eyes. Vera was shocked. “Are you insane? How can you go to the airport looking like this? Aren’t you afraid that you will scare your fans away?”
“I’m so sleepy...” Jiang Yuning replied as she held onto the car door.
“Oh my god. You should take a look in the mirror right now. Who do you want to scare to death?”
Jiang Yuning was a little shocked as she looked at the mirror that Vera held in front of her face. “I will go and put on some makeup now.”
“It’s too late. Get into the car first.”
Vera pushed Jiang Yuning into the car before she personally applied some makeup for Jiang Yuning. “You should wear sunglasses later and make sure to put on a cap too.”
Jiang Yuning napped for a short while in the car on the way to the airport. Jiang Yuning initially thought that there would not be too many people who would appear to see her off at the airport. After all, it was still very early in the morning. However, as soon as she stepped out of the car, she could hear the fans screaming.
“Ahh! Jiang Yuning...Jiang Yuning is here!”
“My little fairy...”
“Sister Yuning...we are here!”
Jiang Yuning forced herself to walk like a model celebrity as she approach the crowd.
The fans crowded around her and started to stuff some gifts into Jiang Yuning’s arms.
When Jiang Yuning saw that all of the gifts were mostly food, she accepted the gifts with a smile on her face. Among the sea of fans, there was also a young mother who was holding onto a young boy who looked about two to three years old. The young boy was holding onto a small banner with Jiang Yuning’s name printed on it.
After looking at the banner, Jiang Yuning squatted down and handed the lollipop in her hand to the little boy.
“Ahh...our little fairy is so gentle.”
“I am going to die! Sister Yuning’s children will be so lucky in future!”
“So cute!”
Jiang Yuning stood up as the fans around her continued screaming and yelling in excitement. She then turned around and spoke to the little boy’s mother, “You should not bring your son to this kind of fan meets in future. It is too dangerous.”
“Okay,” the young mother nodded immediately.
After passing through the security checkpoint, Jiang Yuning turned around and said to all of her fans, “Hurry up and go home soon...you are not allowed to be late for any of your classes!”
“We will obey our little fairy!”
“Noted!”
“We will pick you up at night, little maiden.”
“The one who just called me little maiden is not allowed to come!”
As soon as Jiang Yuning’s words fell, the audience started laughing. The atmosphere was very lively and harmonious. As soon as Jiang Yuning disappeared from their view after stepping through the entrance of the security checkpoint, the fans were left feeling both lost and satisfied at the same time.
They felt lost because they could only see their idol for a short while, but they were also extremely satisfied because their idol was really cute.
Jiang Yuning was just cute from her looks, the way she dressed, and also her personality itself.
...
“You did really well,” Vera praised Jiang Yuning as she flashed Jiang Yuning a thumbs up after they passed through the security checkpoint. “I bet you have never experienced something like this before, have you?”
“I was just thinking that if I had a son with Second Brother, don’t you think that he would definitely be as cute as that little boy?” Jiang Yuning could not help but laugh as she replied.
“No, you are not allowed to think about having a son right now. You have just started off your career again. You had better win a trophy or an award first before thinking about starting a family,” Vera replied as she glared at Jiang Yuning.
“Alright then, devil agent!” Jiang Yuning laughed as she placed a lollipop into Vera’s mouth. “Here, just eat this now.”
After arriving at the neighboring city, Jiang Yuning immediately prepared for the promotional event in the backstage area of the mall.
The promotional event was to be held from half past one to half past three in the afternoon.
The mall did not arrange for any additional security initially, as they did not know if there would be a huge crowd appearing to support Jiang Yuning.
However, as time passed, the mall was packed all the way to the fifth floor, with people storming in to attend the promotional event. In order to ensure the smooth running of the event, the mall immediately tightened the security around the area.
“Sister Yuning, you are so popular,” the makeup artiste who was applying makeup for Jiang Yuning could not help but sigh.
Jiang Yuning was wearing a golden dress at this time and her long black hair was draped over her shoulders. Her makeup was very soft and at this time, she really looked like a fairy that had just walked out of a painting.
“Yuning, it’s time.”
Cai Ling’s counter was not large, so the area cordoned off for the event was limited. However, since there were so many fans today, every floor of the mall was filled to the brim.
Jiang Yuning would never have imagined that she would ever experience a day like this. She had never thought that she would be loved by so many people. She felt extremely touched and excited.
However, there were a few children who were right at the end of the crowd. They were standing on stools because their visions were blocked and they wanted to see their idol appearing in front of them.
“That is so dangerous...” Jiang Yuning could not help but break out in cold sweat.
