Yun Zijin instinctively turned around to see Lu Yunque standing right behind her.
"Why are you standing behind me? You won’t be able to see."
Yun Zijin pulled Lu Yunque over to her side so they stood shoulder-to-shoulder.
Lu Yunque let her pull him, and once they were settled, he slid his arm around her waist, resting it there gently.
"This is the first sunrise we’ve seen together. How about we take a picture to remember the moment?"
Only after seeing Yun Zijin take plenty of pictures of the sunrise scenery did Lu Yunque finally speak up and ask for a photo with her.
They had been together for a while, but they didn’t have very many pictures together.
"Okay! Let’s turn a bit so we can get the sunrise in the background."
Yun Zijin handed the camera to Lu Yunque. "Your arms are longer. You hold it."
It was a shame they didn’t have a tripod and had to take the picture by hand; she had no idea how it would turn out.
Lu Yunque took the camera from Yun Zijin, adjusted the color settings, and framed the shot. Then, he put his arm around her and started snapping away, pressing the shutter button furiously.
’No matter how many pictures I take, with this many, at least one of them has to be usable.’
Yun Zijin couldn’t help but laugh at Lu Yunque’s "spray and pray" style of photography. Still, she had to admit it wasn’t a bad idea when you couldn’t see the screen.
Once their photoshoot was complete, Yun Zijin and Lu Yunque began to properly admire the magnificent beauty before them.
Yun Zijin could see the lake in the distance, its surface shimmering with the reflected light of the sunrise. The beauty of nature was almost too much to take in all at once.
By the time the sun was fully up, it was already 6:30 AM.
The drive to the Lu Group headquarters from here would take at least two hours. Worried Lu Yunque would be late, Yun Zijin started rushing him as soon as they got back to the house.
"Hurry and get ready. If we wait any longer, you’ll be late for work."
Although Lu Yunque wasn’t required to clock in, he was never late or absent without reason.
"Has it occurred to you that the concept of ’being late’ doesn’t really apply to me?"
’Was she kidding? In the entire Lu Group, who would dare check my attendance? They’re lucky I show up at all.’
"But you’re always on time. If you’re suddenly late, aren’t you afraid people will get the wrong idea?"
’He still has to maintain his image,’ Yun Zijin thought.
"It’s fine. No one would dare question me."
Besides, he doubted anyone would dare gossip about him to his face.
"Fine, fine, no one dares to question you. But I have class!"
It wasn’t an 8 AM lecture, but she had classes for the third and fourth periods.
If they delayed any longer, she would be the one who was late for class.
Lu Yunque rubbed his nose. "I’ll take you back to Jade Lake first, then head to the office."
No one would dare question him, but Zijin’s professor would certainly question her if she were late. Even if he didn’t care about his own reputation, he couldn’t let Zijin be branded with the "crime" of tardiness.
"You don’t have to. I can go with Zero One and the others. Just have someone drive you to the Lu Group."
Zijin didn’t insist on him driving her; it would just be an unnecessary detour.
Hearing her mention Zero One reminded Lu Yunque of the seven bodyguards who were always with her.
In other words, even without him, she was in no shortage of people to drive her home.
’Why do I suddenly feel a sense of crisis?’
"Driving you is their duty. For me, it’s a matter of the heart."
With that, Lu Yunque pulled Yun Zijin into his Rolls-Royce Phantom.
Well, what else could Zijin say? She could only let him have his way.
However, she never expected to find Yan Shutang waiting specifically for her when they returned to Jade Lake.
Since Yan Shutang wasn’t a resident of Jade Lake and Zijin wasn’t home, the security guard hadn’t allowed him into the complex.
When Yun Zijin stepped out of the car, the first thing she saw was Yan Shutang sitting all alone on a bench just outside the community entrance.
Yan Shutang got straight to the point.
