Chapter 361 Not replying to messages and not missing me?
Lu Jingxiao naturally put his arm around Luo Zhiwei; this was just a physical instinct and didn't mean anything.
Soon, Luo Zhiwei noticed that Lu Jingxiao remained expressionless and seemed very unhappy.
She asked, somewhat bewildered, "Ah Xiao, have you been unhappy lately? Is it because work isn't going well?"
"Neither."
Lu Jingxiao's face didn't show much expression, but his eyes held accusation and a hint of grievance: "Baby, what have you been doing these past two days? You haven't replied to my messages, and you don't seem to miss me?"
Luo Zhiwei: "???"
How come I didn't know?
She suspiciously took out her phone, pressed a couple of buttons, and hiss—the phone was out of battery.
"Ah Xiao... I didn't mean to, my phone died, I... I and my aunt..."
Luo Zhiwei couldn't find an excuse to fob off Lu Jingxiao; anything she said at this point would sound like a lie.
Gu Hancheng felt a little sorry for his daughter, feeling that she had been wronged. He scolded her, "Ah Xiao, Weiwei just went out to play for a day. You... don't be angry. She told us beforehand."
Lu Jingxiao: "???"
You didn't have this expression this afternoon, but now that I'm saying "Weiwei," you've changed your expression?
Do you intend to make Weiwei hate me?
But compared to this father who appeared out of nowhere, Luo Zhiwei was actually more willing to believe Lu Jingxiao. She clung to him tightly, whimpering, "Ah Xiao, don't be angry. I didn't mean to. I was with Auntie, how could anything happen to me?"
Lu Jingxiao: "......."
"I know Ah Xiao is worried about my safety, afraid that there's danger around me, right? No, I'm very well-behaved. Your bodyguards are all with me, I..."
Speaking of bodyguards, Lu Jingxiao's face darkened even more. These bodyguards hadn't given him any positive feedback lately, and he had no idea what Weiwei was doing.
The question is: what are you doing outside? Eating, drinking coffee, doing crafts...
There was no important information.
If he hadn't come to the Gu family's old house, he probably wouldn't have noticed that Weiwei hadn't been home for the past few days.
Looking at his daughter's humble appearance, Gu Hancheng felt a pang of sadness.
He couldn't hold back any longer: "Lu Jingxiao, why are you still going on and on? Can't you see my daughter is almost dying of grievance? If you continue like this... my daughter will stay at home, and you and my daughter need to reconsider your relationship!"
How dare they treat my daughter like this? Do they think I don't exist?!
He simply couldn't bear to see his daughter suffer, and he couldn't stand anyone making things difficult for her in front of him.
This feeling is terrible.
Even if this person is Weiwei's fiancé, it won't work.
No one is allowed to make things difficult for his precious daughter.
"I...."
"Dad, you can't say that about Ah Xiao. He was just worried about me. He didn't blame me once from beginning to end. How can you say that about him?"
Gu Hancheng felt like he was swallowing a bitter pill: "..."
My dear daughter, I'm trying to protect you, why are you still...
Oh no, oh no, is my precious daughter going to develop a love-struck mind?
Lu Jingxiao sighed helplessly, a hint of guilt in his eyes: "Honey, I'm worried about your safety, but I'm even more unhappy. You haven't told me anything. What have you been doing these past few days, baby?"
If it's just a small matter, he's willing to give Weiwei some personal space if he doesn't know.
However, what happened these past few days is not something that can be resolved easily. Weiwei has a secret she doesn't want him to know.
That feeling... made him feel abandoned.
He felt very uncomfortable.
"I... my aunt and I are doing something, but I can't let you know for now. How about in a few days? I'll tell you everything in a few days."
Her birthday was just a few days away, and everything became clear on her birthday.
A hint of disappointment flashed across Lu Jingxiao's eyes. Weiwei still wouldn't tell him what this matter was.
Liang Yu also tried to smooth things over, saying, "Don't talk about Weiwei. Weiwei has been making clothes for you these past few days. She's been busy every day. Making them at home wouldn't have the same surprise feel, would it?"
She wasn't wrong; Luo Zhiwei did arrange for someone to make the clothes, but she wasn't involved in the whole process. She only did some pattern-making work, and spent the rest of her time preparing for her engagement ceremony.
Everyone was taken aback when they heard this.
What is Weiwei doing?
Luo Zhiwei buried her head in Lu Jingxiao's chest, feeling a little guilty. How could Auntie have told her everything?
She didn't do anything special; she just designed an outfit based on each person's body shape.
I originally planned to bring it out before she proposed, so that my family could support her.
I didn't expect my aunt to say it now.
Gu Hancheng seemed a little excited and quickly stepped forward, almost bursting into tears: "Weiwei, is what your aunt said true?"
Luo Zhiwei nodded listlessly: "Yeah, I've been working on pattern making these past few days, I..."
I didn't dare to look up.
Liang Yu said in a nonchalant manner, "I originally wanted to keep it from you, but since you all keep asking, I'll tell you now. However, the clothes will take a few more days, so don't go and join the fun."
She still holds a certain position in the family, and no one usually argues with what she says.
Gu Yulin also stepped forward to join in the fun: "Weiwei, are any of my clothes here?"
Luo Zhiwei then raised her head and nodded to her two older brothers: "Yes, eldest brother, I also designed clothes for you and the others, and I've been working on them for the past two days..."
Lu Jingxiao suddenly placed his hand on Weiwei's waist and gently pulled her into his arms: "Baby, what about mine?"
your?
You already have yours ready.
It's just that I haven't given it to you yet.
Ah Xiao, I'll wait for you a little longer.
“They’re all in production. I designed each piece of clothing individually.”
This surprised and intrigued the family even more. Even Old Madam Gu couldn't help but ask, "Weiwei, you can design too?"
"I know a little bit, but it's just a amateur attempt. Please don't mind, Grandpa and Grandma."
She didn't know if her designs were good or not, but the thought of her family wearing clothes she made made her quite happy.
The old lady laughed heartily, beaming with joy: "How could we possibly dislike it? We love and are happy with any clothes you make."
No matter how it turns out, they are happy.
Gu Beixiao walked to her side and gently patted her head: "Don't overwork yourself. If you need help, just let me know. I've studied design and made clothes... I can help you."
He used to think that he was good at everything because he worked hard enough, but now that he sees Weiwei, he realizes that it might be hereditary, something he was born with.
If he remembered correctly, the girl in front of him had never studied design, yet she could design clothes, which meant she had talent.
"Yes, I'll call my brother if I get too busy."
Seeing the expectant looks on their faces, Luo Zhiwei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief; this was a way of getting away with it.
Once this is over, she won't lie anymore.
However, the fact that she was making clothes could explain her unusual behavior these past few days, and everyone expressed their understanding.
However... her slight sigh of relief did not escape Lu Jingxiao's notice.
It seems that Weiwei didn't tell the truth, or rather... she didn't tell the whole truth.
Weiwei... what are you doing?
