"It's not that I don't have you in my future plan, but that I may have no future..."
After a while, a hoarse voice that didn't look like her came out of the room.
Lu Dingning didn't know how long he stood in that empty room.
All she knew was that it was past three o'clock in the morning when she got fully dressed and returned to the Lu residence.
Lu Yining was still awake, as if he was waiting for her.
"Ningning, why is it so late?"
"I'm delayed by something!" After taking off the scarf around her neck, she suddenly turned around and asked Lu Yining, "Brother, how about we have some wine?"
"Do you want to drink?" Lu Yining stared at his younger sister's pretty side face, always feeling that this girl seemed to have gone out for a trip, and the worse her mood became.
However, he can also understand.
After all, tomorrow is the day she will say goodbye to her lover forever.
"It's a bit cold, I want to drink something to warm my body." Lu Dingning smiled.
In fact, her heart felt as if it was about to be torn in two, so she needed some alcohol to numb her body.
"You wait, I'll go and steal the bottle of good wine that Dad hid in the study."
That's right, this is Lu Yining.
He usually looks more sensible and stable than Lu Dingning.
But if his sister suggested something, he would basically accompany her.
Soon, Lu Yining stole two bottles of foreign wine from Lu Guohua.
"Dad has been hiding this wine for many years and is not willing to drink it. Let's taste it for him first!"
In this way, the stolen foreign wine was opened by their brothers and sisters.
"It's a bit spicy, but it tastes good!" Lu Yining took a sip first.
"Brother, do you mean that tomorrow when Dad finds out that we have stolen the wine, will he beat him up?" Lu Dingning, who also took two sips, suddenly asked.
"Don't worry, if Dad said it, I'll say that I drank it secretly!"
Just like when he was a child, every time Lu Dingning did something bad, Lu Yining would stand up.
"Brother, you are so kind!"
"Nonsense, you are my only sister, if I am not good to you, who is good to me?"
The two of them spoke without saying a word.
But it may be that Lu Yining is not very experienced in the world, and Lu Yining doesn't drink well.
After two glasses of foreign wine, he passed out.
So, most of the remaining bottle went into Lu Dingning's stomach.
In the end, Lu Dingning fell asleep in a trance under the influence of alcohol...
In her sleep, Zong Jize's question kept echoing in her mind: "Lu Dingning, ask yourself. Is Zong Jize included in your future plans?"
Really, time is the most ruthless thing in this world.
Whether you are happy or not, it is always passing away quietly.
In this way, the day of parting came.
When Lu Dingning woke up, it was after nine o'clock in the morning.
The hangover made her look terrible.
She washed it and changed into LW's new season's blue and black plaid suit.
After some washing, she looked much better.
After getting dressed, William's message came.
"Dylan, Jonathan is nearby. Everything is ready at the airport!"
Lu Dingning, who just read the message, did not reply to William, but checked WeChat.
From the time they separated last night until now, Zong Jize didn't even give her a call or a message.
It seemed that she hurt him deeply this time.
Her fingertips hovered over Zong Jize's number.
She wanted to hear his voice again, and also wanted to see his face that haunted her forever...
Last night, because something unpleasant happened, she didn't do any of these.
She knew she should go, and if she was here for a minute longer, she would be in more danger.
Can……
But she still wanted to say goodbye to Zong Jize.
Even if you can't say it clearly, at least let her look at him more.
Because when she turned around and left, it was her whole life...
Thinking of this, Lu Dingning quickly picked up his brown coat and scarf and went downstairs.
"Ningning, are you leaving?" Lu Yining, who was busy in the kitchen and was going to make breakfast for Lu Dingning, poked his head out from the kitchen after hearing the sound.
"Brother, I'll go out first, and I'll be back later." Lu Dingning said, his pace quickened a lot.
"Ningning, where are you going now? You..."
Before Lu Yining could finish his persuasion, Lu Dingning had already left the Lu residence.
When Lu Dingning received the call from William, she was already standing in front of the gate of the Zong family's old house.
"Dylan, where are you? Jonathan said he didn't pick you up, where are you?"
On the phone, William's tone was very urgent.
"I'm outside, dealing with something!"
"Dylan, are you crazy? You are still out there alone! Go back quickly, or tell me your address, and I will ask Jonathan to pick you up immediately!"
According to the information William has, Clive's people are already in the Imperial City.
It would be even more dangerous if they found out that Dylan was alone.
"I'll go find Jonathan in a while. That's it for now..." Lu Dingning hung up the phone without waiting for William to say anything.
After finishing the phone call, Lu Dingning entered the old house of the Zong family.
The old house seems to be quite annoyed today.
When Lu Dingning went in, he heard Uncle Bin ordering some people to prepare refreshments.
"Remember, these will be sent in later."
"There's also jasmine tea, remember to make it light! Mrs. Tang doesn't like to drink too strong tea..."
"Uncle Bin."
Lu Dingning's soft call made Uncle Bin turn around.
I saw a tall figure standing under the plane tree not far away.
The sunlight fell on her side face, making her facial features, which were already evil and ecstatic, look more three-dimensional and profound.
Such Lu Dingning is really like a prince who came out of a fairy tale.
Not only Uncle Bin, but even the servants who passed by unconsciously stopped and were stunned for her.
After a while, Uncle Bin came to his senses and stepped forward quickly: "Young Master Lu."
Uncle Bin greeted her with the same modest and polite attitude as always.
But for some reason, Lu Dingning felt that Uncle Bin's tone was a little more alienated this time.
Lu Dingning knew that this should be inextricably linked to the rumor that Zong Jize was out of the closet.
As soon as the news came out, almost everyone around Zong Jize believed that she was the one who broke Zong Jize.
But these right and wrong will soon end with Lu Dingning's departure.
"Is Young Master Zong here?" As if he didn't notice Uncle Bin's deliberate alienation at all, Lu Dingning still waited with a smile on his face.
"Young Master Zong is here. I got up late today and haven't gone to the company yet!"
"Then I'll go in and find him."
Lu Dingning smiled and planned to go directly into the house.
No, Uncle Bin called to stop her: "Young Master Lu, Miss Tang and her family are inside!"
These words made Lu Dingning's long legs stagnate when he was about to step into the hall of the old house.
However, Lu Dingning's pace did not stop because of Uncle Bin's words. Instead, she saw a picture not far away.
At this moment, Tang Qiwen and her parents are on the side of the sofa, and Yi Qing personally receives them.
They were talking, and they didn't know what they were talking about, and everyone had a smile on their faces.
Zong Jize was also there.
Although he was expressionless, he didn't show any resistance.
Suddenly, Lu Dingning remembered what he said before he left last night——
"If you insist on me marrying someone else, then I will fulfill you..."
