Chapter 1579: What About You?

Lu Zhenzhen rested her chin on one hand and slowly raised her gaze. Her eyes were like those of a seductive fox, the lines at the corners gradually extending, her gaze shifting from slightly unfocused to fixed upon his face.

She stared at him silently.

The corner of her mouth formed a half-smile.

With this demeanor, any man would go crazy upon seeing her.

Ji Yanzhi instinctively glanced around and noticed quite a few men had taken notice of her. He felt displeased and deliberately shifted his chair to block their view.

He said softly, “Uncle Lu isn’t here, and you’re alone. I’m very busy tonight, worried I won’t be able to look out for you. Since you’re here, I don’t care about others, but your safety is something I absolutely must protect. Drinking here isn’t a good idea; if you really want to drink, find some time, and I’ll take you for a drink tomorrow.”

Lu Zhenzhen shook her head and slowly raised her hand, lightly pointing behind him. In a playful tone, she said, “Are you afraid these men will have wicked thoughts about me?”

Ji Yanzhi: “If you stay in this state, there really will be ill-intentioned people!”

“What about you?” Lu Zhenzhen leaned in closer, her breath carrying a faint scent of fruit wine mixed with the fruity lipstick on her lips wafting into his nose. Her voice lightly chuckling, “Do you?”

Ji Yanzhi was startled and leaned back. He feared the moment he moved, other men would catch sight of her in this condition. Firmly forcing himself into the chair, he gritted his teeth and said, “You’re drunk, don’t talk nonsense.”

He removed his suit jacket in a gentlemanly manner and draped it over her shoulders. Calling over a waiter, he ordered a glass of warm water. After contemplating, he made a call to his brother, asking him to bring some people over to distract the men eagerly eyeing Lu Zhenzhen.

Ji Zhuo, upon hearing this, didn’t waste any time with the guests and came over personally. Observing the situation, he immediately understood everything.

Fortunately, he was skilled in socializing and effortlessly gathered people with a few words, slowly leading them further away as he spoke.

Once he was free, he called his younger brother and immediately asked, “What’s wrong with Zhenzhen?”

Ji Yanzhi glanced at Lu Zhenzhen, who was already sprawled drunkenly on the table, abandoning the idea of stepping away to talk. He lowered his voice, “It’s likely because of Mr. Gao. She’s in a bad mood and drank a bit too much.”

“Haven’t you been with her all along? How did she end up drinking so much! She came alone; if something were to happen to her, how would we explain it to Uncle Lu!” Ji Zhuo wasn’t overly accusatory. Their brotherly bond was strong, and their usual tones were gentle. The slightly raised voice only conveyed real concern.

Despite years of not seeing each other, Lu Zhenzhen remained the little sister in their eyes.

A sister visiting couldn’t possibly encounter any harm right under their noses.

Ji Yanzhi sighed lightly, “Brother, I’ll trouble you to handle more tonight. I’ll watch over her. Once she wakes up, I’ll ask her if she’d like to rest at our home, ideally, or if it comes down to it, I’ll personally take her to our family’s hotel.”

Ji Zhuo replied, “All right, these past months I’ve been with your sister-in-law. You’ve been handling the socializing. Tonight’s a perfect time for you to rest and just focus on taking care of Zhenzhen. I’ll handle everything outside.”

Ji Yanzhi: “Okay, call me if you can’t manage.”

“Understood.”

After hanging up, Ji Yanzhi made a call to the family servant, asking them to prepare a guest room.

He was already speaking as softly as possible, yet it still woke Lu Zhenzhen. She hadn’t fully passed out, merely feeling dizzy and resting for a moment.

When she opened her eyes again, the surrounding lights dimmed a bit and she didn’t see many people, so she asked, “Did everyone leave?”
