Chapter 78 – Her Picture (2)
Li Jinyuan paused and said, “I think this outfit is good. Let’s go.”
“Let’s go! Let’s go! Let’s go!” said Wie Jie happily.
Li Jinyuan looked at himself in the mirror once again.
He wanted to become strong.
Strong enough that he would be able to protect Zhong Yuhuan.
Li Jinyuan changed out of his outfit and followed Wie Jie out of the company.
“Should we head over there now?”
He planned to take Li Jinyuan to the training school first.
“In a little bit. Let’s stop by Selfridges & Co. and Matches Fashion first,” said Li Jinyuan as he got inside the car. His tone was becoming more and more like that of an adult.
Wei Jie paused for a second, “You need to go buy something?”
“Yes, I need to buy something for my older … younger sister,” lied Li Jinyuan straight through his teeth. He hasn’t addressed Zhong Yuhuan as his “older sister” in a long, long time. And once they had become more familiar with each other, Zhong Yuhuan had been calling him by his name. Who would know she wasn’t his younger sister if he said so?
Wie Jie smiled and said, “Alright, just in case the shops are closed by the time we are done.”
Wie Jie had the driver adjust their course right away and went over to where Li Jinyuan had requested.

On this end, Zhong Yuhuan was already exhausted after swimming around the pool two to three laps with her swimming donut.
“Alright, we will take you diving tomorrow.” Chen Mingye could tell that she was already tired.
“Why don’t you take me to BBQ now?”
“Okay, we can go now.” Chen Mingye was a man of good patience. He immediately got out of the water set aside his wine and his swimming.
“Wait.” Chen Mingye squatted on the pool side and aimed his cellphone as Zhong Yuhuan, “Let me take a picture of you first and send to your cousin.”
Zhong Yuhuan had no choice but to smile.
“Kacha” and he snapped a picture of her.
Chen Mingye immediately sent the picture to Lang Jinzhi while he grumbled at the same time, “How I wish you are my sister instead. All we have are a bunch of foolish bastards in my family…..”
“Alright, let’s head to the beach….” Chen Mingye stopped himself instinctively midway through his sentence as he made eye contacts with Huo Chengming. “We will just BBQ right here. I will have them bring all the equipment.”
Zhong Yuhuan nodded.
When Lang Jinzhi received the text message, he was just walking out of Lan Yue Mansion. He has the habit of checking his phone frequently because of work; he usually received plenty of emails that required his attention. Right now, he just fished out his phone and checked again.
He noticed the next message was from Chen Mingye after he took a look.
That must have to do with Zhong Yuhuan then.
Lang Jinzhi clicked it open and was met with Zhong Yuhuan’s smile unexpectedly.
Her hair was wet and some of her hair was falling down on her forehead and side. Her features, now wet, was even brighter and purer than usual. Her mouth was curved, and some of her teeth could be seen. He could see the waves from her eyes as though, at that very moment in time, even her look was sweet, soft, and sparkly like water.
Lang Jinzhi couldn’t help but smile at the picture.
As he turned around and headed back toward Lan Yue Mansion, he read the text from Chen Mingye, “Your cousin swam here with her swimming donut.”
It wasn’t very often that he walked and read his cellphone at the same time.
