Chapter 235 She covets him?

"Comrade Wen, you two come with me to the restaurant first! We won't wait for the other two."

"Yes, Mr. Lu."

Wen Ni nodded and smiled, took Lu Jianxun's arm, and the two walked toward the restaurant chatting and laughing!

As darkness fell outside the window, the crystal chandelier was lit inside the hall.

On the long table, a variety of delicious dishes were served one after another.

"I invited you over tonight just to have a home-cooked meal together. Don't be so formal, relax!" Lu Jianxun's usually solemn face was now as kind as an ordinary old man's. His eyes were gentle as he greeted Xiao Weilai and Li Yuanchang.

"Thank you, Mr. Lu."

They thanked them repeatedly.

Li Yuanchang lowered his head and pretended to fiddle with his knife and fork, his voice barely audible as he squeezed out from between his teeth, "Old Xiao, why do you think Mr. Lu keeps emphasizing that this is a family dinner?"

"That shows he doesn't treat us like outsiders, and he certainly doesn't treat Boss Wen like an outsider!" Xiao Weilai touched his mouth with one hand and placed the chopsticks, knife, and fork on a plate with the other. "We're family, understand?"

"I knew it! Lu Jinye has a thing for Wen Ni!" Li Yuanchang chuckled, his voice getting a little loud.

"Cough cough cough cough!"

In the suddenly quiet restaurant, Wen Cheng, who had tried to cover her mouth but failed, almost choked to death on a mouthful of water.

Wen Ni glanced indifferently at the three flustered people, then calmly raised her wine glass to Lu Jianxun, "Today is Mr. Lu's 83rd birthday. Wen Ni wishes Mr. Lu a long and healthy life, a life full of blessings and happiness, and eternal joy in family life!"

"Good boy!"

Lu Jianxun was overjoyed.

He picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and then frowned slightly with worry. "It's rare for me to live to such an old age, but I haven't even been able to hold a great-grandchild. I'm afraid the joy of family life is hard to come by!"

"Mr. Lu, you are in good health and have a youthful spirit. You will live to be over a hundred years old without any problem." Wen Ni didn't take the bait, her face full of righteous indignation!

Lu Jianxun glanced at her feigned ignorance and sighed helplessly, "Forget it, it's no use what others say. Matters of the heart should be left to nature!"

"Old Xu, go and urge them on. Why aren't those two good-for-nothings coming down yet?" Lu Jianxun turned his face, his serious expression returning. "If they don't show up within five minutes, each of them will have to do 30 push-ups!"

"Yes, sir, I'll go and urge them right away!" Butler Xu bowed and was about to go upstairs when he heard a slight commotion coming from the stairwell. He turned around and hurriedly said, "Sir, there's no need to urge them. The two young masters have already come down."

"Hmm." Lu Jianxun snorted.

At this time, the stairwell

Lu Jinbai paused. "Brother, I think I just heard a woman's voice?"

"Hmm." Lu Jinye put one hand in his pocket and tilted his head to look at him. "So what do you want to say?"

"Brother, you really brought your girlfriend home? You said you wanted to introduce me to someone for Grandpa's birthday, but I thought you were just kidding! This is the first time in your 28 years!"

Lu Jinbai's eyes widened, and he eagerly asked, "Who is it? Have I seen it before?"

"You'll see in a minute, won't you? Why are you asking so many questions now?" Lu Jinye glanced at his watch before gesturing with his chin towards the restaurant. "We're already ten minutes late. Do you think Grandpa will let you off the hook?"

"Why won't you leave me alone?" Lu Jinbai crossed his arms, puffed out his cheeks, and muttered, "Isn't it because you suddenly wanted to change clothes that we've been delayed until now?"

"Tsk, shut up, kid."

Lu Jinye's anger at being exposed was palpable.

He raised his hand and ruffled Lu Jinbai's hair, then brushed past him and walked down the stairs first!

"Brother, what are you doing? I just finished my haircut!" Lu Jinbai put his hands on his hips in anger and chased after him. "I want to see what kind of girl is this! How could she bewitch my brother like this?"

One step, two steps

Lu Jinbai gradually slowed down his quickened pace.

Each time I approach, through the frosted glass door, I can see that graceful figure in a cheongsam more and more clearly…

This profile looks so familiar!

"Lu Jinbai, what are you two brothers dawdling about?" Lu Jianxun raised his eyes, clearly displeased.

“Grandpa, Jinbai has encountered some problems with his studies and asked me to help him with them, which is why it took a while,” Lu Jinye said in a deep voice.

"Grandpa, it's not like what my brother said..."

Lu Jinbai, who came in next, had a whole sentence stuck in his throat!

He stood frozen in place, his gaze fixed blankly on Wen Ni's face.

How...how could it be her?!

Then look at his brother Lu Jinye, who calmly and composedly pulled out a chair and sat down next to Wen Ni!

Wen Ni casually raised her eyes, glancing at the stunned Lu Jinbai. She only glanced at Lu Jinye beside her before her gaze became fixed on him.

A casual suit in a light blue-white gradient suited his tall and slender frame, exuding a gentlemanly air with a touch of classical elegance. His wispy bangs were swept back, revealing a smooth, full forehead that accentuated his strikingly handsome face!

It's truly a feast for the eyes!

If she remembered correctly, he wasn't dressed like this just now.

"Here's a tissue." Lu Jinye held a tissue between his slender fingers and handed it to her.

"Thank you." Wen Ni took the tissue, then looked back suspiciously. "When did I ask you for a tissue?"

"No." He shrugged, forked a piece of steak, and put it in his mouth, saying casually, "You were staring at me with obvious drooling just now. I was worried you'd drool on your clothes, which would be embarrassing..."

"roll."

Before he could utter the last word, Wen Ni gritted her teeth and squeezed out a single word, then forcefully slapped the tissue back onto his chest!

He quickly reached out and caught the falling tissue, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Lu Jinbai watched their interaction, then came to his senses, silently lowered his head, and sat down opposite Lu Jinye.

"Wen Ni, you didn't run into Jin Bai the last few times you came. Let me introduce him to you again. This is my grandson, Jin Ye's younger brother, Lu Jin Bai!"

Lu Jianxun also noticed the flirtatious glances between Lu Jinye and Wen Ni, which made him smile broadly. It took him a while to remember to introduce Lu Jinbai!

"Grandpa, you don't need to introduce us, we know each other!" Lu Jinbai hadn't quite figured out their relationship yet, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings, so his tone was a little stiff!

"You two know each other?" Lu Jianxun asked, slightly surprised.

"Yes, Mr. Lu." Wen Ni said calmly, "Lu Jinbai and I are in the same major!"

"What a coincidence? Perhaps it's fate...!" Lu Jianxun nodded meaningfully. "By the way, Jin Bai, Wen Ni is the one I got from the military. She served as your brother's bodyguard for several months!"

"She's my brother's former police officer!?" Lu Jinbai suffered another mental blow. "Wait a minute...she...is still active duty?"
