Chapter 496 The Problematic Baby VS The Arrogant Guy Who Loves to Ask Questions 48

After hanging up the phone, Lu Jingxun was still in a daze, his brows furrowed slightly, and his fingers unconsciously tapping lightly on his knee.

He came here to recuperate from his injuries, and now that he has almost fully recovered, it's only a matter of time before he goes back.

However... he hasn't yet figured out how to properly settle her affairs.

Lu Jingxun couldn't help but touch his nose, recalling his absurd plans to ruthlessly abandon her. He felt a little scared, but also very fortunate that he hadn't put them into action, otherwise he would have been truly doomed.

Now... of course he couldn't bear to do that again; he was too busy being good to her.

This matter will become a secret known to no one but him.

From then on, in everyone's eyes, there was no doubt that he had liked her from the very beginning.

Not only that, he also wanted to take her to Beijing, so that the two of them would not be separated again.

He would also help her arrange her schooling.

He would send her to the best schools and give her the most cutting-edge and comprehensive education. In the future, they would be one, sharing his money, his resources, and his connections.

He used to think she was silly, but now, thinking about it carefully, he realized she was simply more innocent and adorable than most people. He had been too harsh in his opinion of her...

Seeing that Lu Jingxun was in a daze, Jiang Zhiyi didn't pay any attention to him for the time being.

This man has these recurring episodes; his brain is either full of water or mush.

She held a few round grapes in her hand. The grapes had thin skins, an appealing color, and a crisp texture with sweet juice.

After a while, seeing that Lu Jingxun was still standing there in a daze, having been there for quite some time, Jiang Zhiyi took some grapes to feed him.

She only took a bite of one half, and then put the other half near his mouth, gesturing for him to open his mouth.

Lu Jingxun looked at the half grape and knew in his heart that she did it on purpose, wanting him to eat the rest.

He raised an eyebrow and said, "You can eat by yourself. You don't have to think about me all the time."

Jiang Zhiyi persisted, saying, "I only want to eat half; the rest is for you. Don't you like it?"

She was clearly being childish and deliberately teasing him, treating him like a big yellow dog eating leftovers.

If he really dares to refuse, she will definitely use it as an excuse to make trouble.

Lu Jingxun could only nod and let her have her way, agreeing, "Okay, I like it. I love eating what you leave behind. Are you satisfied now?"

It's so tedious, day after day.

He took a bite of the grape and obediently ate it.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhiyi smiled, her eyes curving into crescents.

She quickly took another bite of half a grape.

Seeing this, Lu Jingxun reached out and pinched her chin, forcing her to open her mouth with a little force, and then quickly snatched the half grape from her mouth in one smooth motion.

He then offered a pretentious explanation for his earlier actions: "You don't need to trouble yourself to feed me, I can do it myself."

Jiang Zhiyi made a move as if to hit him.

The two started arguing again.

...

A few days later.

The Lu family.

As soon as Lu Jingxun entered the house, he saw Lu Yanlin sitting casually on the living room sofa, his legs crossed and propped up on the coffee table, acting as if he owned the place.

Lu Jingxun frowned and said bluntly, "Aren't you going to get lost?"

Lu Yanlin didn't care about his bad attitude at all and replied lazily, "Uncle said you're going back soon and asked us to come with you."

Lu Jingxun then looked at him properly, his tone indifferent: "I have something to do, you go back first."

"What, are you taking your little wife back with you too?" Lu Yanlin asked with a hint of teasing.

He knew exactly what was going on.

If this had happened before, Lu Jingxun would probably have left that very day, eager to escape this godforsaken place.

Now he's delaying his departure, clearly because he can't bear to leave his girlfriend.

These days, Lu Jingxun goes to the neighbor's every few days, or he takes that girl out to spend the night. When he comes back, he has a satisfied and smug look on his face, making it hard for anyone not to know what has happened.

Lu Jingxun's expression turned cold for a moment, his gaze sharp as a knife as he looked at Lu Yanlin, and he said coldly, "Watch your mouth."

The two are now allies for the time being due to several collaborative projects, and their relationship is not as tense as before, but Lu Jingxun is still somewhat wary of Lu Yanlin.

Lu Jingxun seemed to have thought of something and warned again: "If you dare to go to her again and say any nonsense, I'll make you regret it."

Lu Jingxun also went to great lengths and investigated for a long time before he found out that Lu Yanlin had interfered and said some things he shouldn't have said in front of Jiang Zhiyi.

Lu Yanlin gave a mocking smile and said, "Young Master Lu doesn't even dare to say his real name, and now he wants to blame me. Strictly speaking, she is my girlfriend, Lu Yanlin's girlfriend. What does she have to do with you, Lu Jingxun?"

As Lu Yanlin spoke, a provocative look appeared on his face, and he asked curiously, "In bed, did she call out your name or mine?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingxun was instantly enraged and threw a punch at Lu Yanlin, saying, "Do you want to die?"

Lu Yanlin reacted quickly, turning his head to dodge, but he was still grazed on the cheek by a fist.

"Heh..." He patted his clothes and stood up. "It's not like I care."

Lu Jingxun's expression clearly showed that he had been touched on a sore spot.

"You'd better watch yourself." Lu Yanlin glanced at Lu Jingxun disdainfully and left.

Lu Jingxun's previously calm expression had now turned somewhat unpleasant.

But Lu Yanlin's words, "Take care of yourself," were indeed true. If this problem isn't resolved soon, it will inevitably cause trouble.

Last time, Jiang Zhiyi was asleep and didn't hear it, so I haven't brought it up since, and I can't find a suitable opportunity each time.

He's genuinely afraid she'll be angry.

Lu Jingxun thought for a moment and decided that he should explain everything to her as soon as possible before he left.

She can stay here by herself for a while to process her emotions, and he will pick her up as soon as he finishes dealing with things in Beijing.

As for Lu Yanlin's question later...

Jiang Zhiyi never called him by his name in bed; she preferred to call him... baby.

Thinking of this, Lu Jingxun felt both angry and amused.

Just as he was thinking about it, Jiang Zhiyi sent him a WeChat message.

It's a short voice message.

Jiang Zhiyi's attitude had long since changed. Before, she was the one who talked the most and replied the most actively, and her tone was sweet when she sent him messages. But now, all her messages were orders to him, and her attitude was very bad and arrogant.

If he comes back even a little late, he'll most likely throw a tantrum.

Lu Jingxun opened the voice chat and heard Jiang Zhiyi's clear voice: "Come here now."
