Chapter 1583: Second Young Master Ji's Room

Lu Zhenzhen’s gaze had just swept across the shimmering light on the window when she heard a man’s voice from the door: “Right, should I get you some clothes?”

She turned around and realized that Ji Yanzhi was standing at the door, not entering.

She smiled, “You should have clothes prepared for guests. Ask Sister Yashu, she knows.”

As soon as she said it, she paused for a moment.

Had she started calling her sister-in-law? Earlier, in front of her it was still “Sister Yashu.”

Ji Yanzhi also smiled, “When it comes to women’s stuff, I really don’t understand much, and I’m careless. I’ll ask Sister-in-law later.”

Lu Zhenzhen curled her lips, “Okay.”

“Then take a break first. There’s wine in the room; you can have some if you like. Put it all on my tab, but drink a little less. When the meal arrives, make sure to eat something.”

He really sounded like a big brother advising his little sister out in the world, covering every detail without being overbearing. Perhaps it was his voice, naturally gentle, making it easy for people to feel close to him.

Just one night, and Lu Zhenzhen had already shifted from initial wariness to being quite amiable toward him.

When he left, Ji Yanzhi gently closed the door.

He went to press the elevator button.

In the safety stairwell, a pair of eyes peeked out, staring intently at the room he had exited. The angle here was too tricky, making it hard to see, and the elevator wasn’t visible. She waited until she heard the elevator door close before daring to go out, finding that door, staring hard at the room number, and almost impulsively knocking on it. She held back, keeping some sense, and decided to go down to the front desk to ask.

She had an invitation; she was a guest invited by the Ji Family. The front desk was not guarded against her and didn’t ask for a reason; anyway, all the rooms were booked by the Ji Family, so they gave her a room.

“Is 806 no good? I just sent my friend up, passed by that room, and it’s a bit bigger.”

The receptionist smiled politely, “That’s Second Young Master Ji’s room. He’s always the one staying there.”

Shi Yun’s eyelid twitched, “He’s always staying there?”

“Yes, the hotel belongs to the Ji Family. The Second Young Master comes occasionally, and that room is always kept for him, not open as a guest room.”

“Okay then, I’ll just take the previous one, thank you.”

Shi Yun slipped the room card into her bag, turned around, her face cold.

…

Lu Zhenzhen was watching TV when someone knocked on the door, their voice muffled, “Room service.”

She went to open the door, glanced at the dishes covered on the trolley, and then at the waiter wearing a hat and mask. Judging by the figure, it was a woman.

“Put it over there and you can leave.”

Lu Zhenzhen turned back into the bedroom. It was a suite, and she left her bag on the sofa in the living room, not worried that hotel staff would dare touch it. Had it not been for waiting for the meal, she would have gone to shower already, uncomfortable with the smell of alcohol clinging to her.

When she came out, the food was already set on the dining table.

She first grabbed a bottle of red wine, looked for an opener, and got a glass, washed and wiped it clean, then took it to the dining table. She poured the wine halfway before she suddenly paused.

The scent of the candle was off.

Lu Zhenzhen immediately put out the candle, leaned down to sniff each dish. Sure enough, something was amiss.

She was a perfumer, familiar with scents since childhood. Whatever was in the food, she could smell it with a bit of attention.

Lu Zhenzhen’s expression cooled, and she got up to use the phone to contact the front desk. Suddenly, she heard fast-approaching footsteps behind her. Before she could turn around, she was forcefully shoved, and unable to straighten up in time, her waist hit the edge of the table hard, and her head knocked the candlestick, making her vision go black.
