Chapter 155: A Chance for You to Make a Wish

Enzo heard the movement the moment Zhu Yuan came down from upstairs.

He knew he was not by Zhu Yuan's side to eat, drink, and be merry, but to protect her.

Therefore, he sat on the bed in his room, listening carefully to the movement from the kitchen.

After a while, he heard the sound of a cup being dropped; his expression changed, he stood up immediately, and quickly pulled open his bedroom door.

By the time he chased after her, Zhu Yuan had already pulled open the main door and gone out.

Why would Miss Zhu go out in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?

Could it be that eyesore of a brother coming to find her?

That damn man!

He chased to the main entrance, wanting to pull the door open to see what exactly that so-called brother wanted to do!

Trying to seduce Miss Zhu right under his nose—that was not going to happen!

He bore a heavy responsibility and had to keep a close watch on Miss Zhu!

Master Yu's backyard—he would be the one to guard it!

Just as he reached the door, he heard a slight "thump" from outside; his heart tightened, and he gripped the doorknob, ready to pull the door open!

But the next second, he heard a familiar, low, and deep voice; he was stunned for a moment, and then he heard some indescribable, sticky, and damp sounds.

Realizing what these sounds were, Enzo's hand on the doorknob paused, and his dark face turned red in an instant.

He turned around quickly, scratched his head in awkward foolishness, and strode toward his room.

It was Master Yu.

That was... just great!

He was both pleasantly surprised and fearful.

The surprise was that Master Yu had kissed Miss Zhu; the fear was that if he had been one second faster, he would have ruined Master Yu's good deed!

The more he thought about it, the colder the back of his neck felt; he clicked his tongue and slapped his right hand hard, "Damn hand, be slower next time!"

Outside the door, Sheng Yu keenly caught the sound of footsteps leaving inside the house.

The footsteps of a trained person were different from those of an ordinary person; he could tell that those were Enzo's footsteps.

"Do you dare to go on a blind date with that Zhuang fellow?" he asked, looking down at the woman he had trapped between the door and his chest.

Zhu Yuan's lips were slightly swollen from his kiss, her eyes were moist, and with her hair, which had had its Hair Tie pulled out by him, hanging loose, she breathed heavily and pushed him hard.

But not only did she fail to push him away, she was pulled into his arms as he threatened, "Answer my question, and I'll let you go back to sleep."

"I dare," Zhu Yuan answered crisply and clearly.

—She dared to go on a blind date with him.

Sheng Yu gritted his back teeth and sneered, "I am very dissatisfied with this answer; I'll give you one more chance, answer until I am satisfied."

Zhu Yuan's eyes were bright, "You weren't satisfied when I told the truth, so if I say I don't dare, are you satisfied now?"

Half a month without seeing her, and she was still this sharp-tongued!

Sheng Yu held her waist, looking at her with a dark face, "I see you don't need to sleep anymore."

She was wearing a pair of blue and pink fluffy slippers, pink coral fleece pajama pants, and a hooded pajama robe with a cartoon pattern.

Sheng Yu held her with one hand, and with the other, he pulled the hood of the robe over her head.

The fluffy hood framed an exquisite face, her brows and eyes revealing a natural, delicate charm.

Yet, when she glared at people with anger she dared not voice, she also revealed a hint of foolishness.

It made one want to bully her, yet also want to protect her.

A mass of anger welled up in Sheng Yu's chest, and his hand moved down to grab her hand, which was curled inside her sleeve.

Zhu Yuan pulled her hand away subconsciously, but the man gripped her hand firmly in his palm.

The familiar, warm, and dry palm made Zhu Yuan's scalp tingle, but she had lost the best opportunity to struggle.

"Where are you taking me?" Zhu Yuan was led by him away from the Zhu family gate toward the car on the side of the road.

"It's too late to regret it now."

Sheng Yu shoved her into the car, then sat in, and ordered Situ, "Drive."

The car drove away from the small villa.

Zhu Yuan feigned calmness as she sat in the corner of the car cabin.

The partition in the car had been raised before they got in; it was a premeditated plan to take her away, and no matter how she answered, Sheng Yu would not let her go back to sleep.

After realizing this reality, Zhu Yuan simply closed her eyes.

Sheng Yu glanced at Zhu Yuan, who was huddled in the corner of the car, his eyes deepening.

On the surface, she was pretending to be calm and resting with her eyes closed, but in reality, her two hands inside the pockets of her pajama robe were clenched into fists; the outline of the fists could be seen from outside the pockets.

So small, his palm could easily wrap around them.

Long eyelashes cast a shadow under her eyelids, her nose was small and exquisite, and further down, her lips, reddened by his kiss, were pressed tightly together to hide her nervousness, her chin slightly raised.

It gave one the feeling of being both cowardly and defiant.

A low, pleasant chuckle reached her ears.

Zhu Yuan frowned fiercely, her eyes remained tightly shut, and the fists in her pockets clenched even tighter.

Laughing at what!

She kept her eyes closed, not knowing where the car was heading, but even if she opened her eyes, she couldn't change the car's destination.

But she felt the car driving toward a remote area.

Sheng Yu wouldn't go so far as to kill her and dump the body, but she still opened her eyes, feeling uneasy.

The moment she opened her eyes, the car stopped.

Looking at the surroundings, which were familiar yet felt slightly strange because she hadn't been there for a while, she was stunned.

It's the middle of the night, why did Sheng Yu bring her here?

After getting out of the car, Sheng Yu grabbed Zhu Yuan's arm and pulled her in front of him.

Zhu Yuan's whole body stiffened.

But she didn't expect Sheng Yu to tie the two fur balls on the sides of her bathrobe hood together in the middle.

Watching the edge of the hood tightly wrap around her small face, Sheng Yu looked at her with great interest for a few moments, then reached out and pinched her cheek.

Zhu Yuan turned her face away, wanting to dodge his hand, but she didn't expect Sheng Yu's other hand to take the opportunity to pinch the cheek she had turned away, completely anticipating her move!

She glared at him in shame and anger, and the man laughed, having gotten his way.

They took the observation deck elevator straight to the top floor.

This is a good place in Yucheng to see the night view.

The observation deck had long since passed its opening hours, but for someone of Sheng Yu's status, getting in only took the time it took for his subordinates to make a phone call.

This was the first time Zhu Yuan had come here in the middle of the night; the surroundings were misty, there was no one else, and it was like a dream.

Her hands rested on the railing, looking at the thousands of lights of Yucheng and the murmuring river water, her complicated mood calmed down in this instant, and she couldn't help but sigh, how beautiful.

Suddenly, a "bang" sound!

In the sky not far away, gorgeous fireworks bloomed one after another, illuminating half the night sky and reflecting the city lights.

It shone on Zhu Yuan's stunned face.

She gripped the railing tightly, turned her head to look at the man standing behind her, her heart fluttering with the sound of the fireworks blooming, "Did you prepare this?"

This seemed like a redundant question.

Sheng Yu looked at her face illuminated by the fireworks, the corners of his lips curled into a casual smile, "When we were at the square, you were too busy looking at me and forgot to watch the fireworks, right? I'm making it up to you."

Zhu Yuan's eyes trembled, and she turned her head back to pretend to admire the fireworks.

By the time she came back to her senses, it was too late to explain what Sheng Yu had said.

What did he mean by "too busy looking at him"?

The man took a cigarette case and a lighter from his pocket and lit a cigarette, "New Year, I'll give you a chance to make a wish."

Zhu Yuan opened her mouth.

"Choose your words carefully." Sheng Yu squinted at her, his eyes full of warning.
