Chapter 68 I'm jealous
The doorbell rang at this moment, and Qiao Wu came to his senses: "You are drunk."
She opened the door and took the hangover medicine from the waiter. She said thank you, but her mind was still frozen.
She knew who was around Lu Jinzhi best, and she also knew who he had met during this trip, so what he wanted to find out...
He said it was a good thing for him and he hoped it would be good for her too.
She's not that stupid yet.
But she still didn't want to believe it. The sound of the door closing brought her back to her senses. She took a deep breath to calm herself down, then walked back calmly.
Lu Jinzhi was still sitting in his original position, looking at her with the same smiling face as before.
"Take the medicine," Qiao Wu said. "The hotel will send the room card over shortly."
"I'm not drunk."
"That's what any drunk person would say."
Lu Jinzhi saw that she was evading, and knew that she understood what he had just said, but he did not pursue her any further.
He reached out and took the medicine as she wished, then drank the water in the cup and stood up.
Qiao Wu thought he was leaving.
In the end, the man just walked up to her and stood still, staring at her: "Then just treat me as drunk. I won't remember what I said tonight tomorrow."
This submissive reaction surprised Qiao Wu a little.
He was even more confused by this person's repetition. His original nervousness and anxiety were completely obscured by confusion at this moment.
Then she heard Lu Jinzhi say slowly, "So, before the medicine takes effect, I'll say a few more words."
"...Wait a moment."
Lu Jinzhi was not willing to listen to her at all. Having said that, he would not give her any chance to get away with it.
"I've made many assumptions and hypotheses about this matter, and I've also overturned many wrong answers. So now I can tell you with certainty that my feelings for you are more than just friendship. I like you very much, and it's a liking based on love and lust."
Although it was the first time for him to do such a thing and say such words, he did not need any experience at all because this was his most intuitive idea.
Qiao Wu really regretted learning the so-called eye-reading technique from Lu Jinzhi, to the point that her hands go numb whenever she sees Lu Jinzhi's eyes.
She looked away: "You are experiencing the drawbridge effect."
Lu Jinzhi chuckled: "Have you ever had any emotional experience in the past?"
"…No."
The smile in the man's eyes seemed to be stained with brilliance: "I am twenty-seven."
"Five years older than you," he said with interest. "Your doubts about my feelings are completely unfounded."
Qiao Wu was speechless.
She is good at many things, but she has no say in this matter.
"But it's okay, you can question it."
Lu Jinzhi took another step closer to her, shortening the distance between them so that he could observe her more intuitively.
He whispered, "The first favor you can do me right now is to stop treating me as just a friend. To be more direct, I'm the one who likes you now."
Qiao Wu got goosebumps all over her body, and she even wanted to shiver to get rid of the uncomfortable feeling.
Lu Jinzhi is not Chen Yan, nor is he anyone else. She seems unable to reject him with the same methods she used to reject others.
"Didn't you say you didn't like it before?" She held her breath.
Lu Jinzhi recalled and realized that it was Lu Ning's doing again.
He thought about it carefully and came to the conclusion: "It really wasn't love at that time."
At that time, he didn't know her very well when she grew up, and just treated her as an exception, but when a person starts to be special, things will always slowly deviate.
"No." Qiao Wu still said so.
Seeing her so stiff and without the calmness she had before, Lu Jinzhi felt even more itchy in his heart. He laughed and said, "I didn't expect it to be today."
His request tonight was simple: to clearly tell her the change in his position.
"Okay, the medicine's taking effect," he said softly. "I'm going to rest. I'll forget all this when I wake up tomorrow. You can continue as usual."
Qiao Wu: “???”
Did you forget?!
She couldn't control her expression: "What about me!"
Lu Jinzhi stepped away from the two of them, without the slightest awareness of his shocking words, and said warmly, "If you can also forget it."
“…”
"I'm sorry." Lu Jinzhi's eyes curved, "You may not be able to sleep tonight, but this experience is unavoidable. Just bear with it. You don't have to get up early tomorrow."
Qiao Wu now really felt it was ridiculous. It was the first time she had encountered someone confessing their love like this.
The other party forgot about his confession right after he made it, and even told her in a mean way that she could forget it too.
How could I forget this?!
Lu Jinzhi is so serious. No wonder Lu Ning said that every time he smiles, something bad happens.
He also said very considerately: "If you can't sleep, you can come to me."
Qiao Wu almost squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "I can sleep."
"That's even better." Lu Jinzhi smiled and said, "Good night."
He no longer insisted on sleeping in the same room with Qiao Wu, but opened the door and went out. The hotel would naturally come to check him into a new room in a while.
As I walked out of the room, I heard a bang behind me.
This shows how bad the temper of the person who closed the door is.
Lu Jinzhi chuckled softly.
He didn't think there was anything wrong. If Qiao Wu had no reaction to what he said tonight, that would be the worst thing.
After all, she knew it.
No matter how tough she acted in front of Lu Jinzhi, Qiao Wu tossed and turned in bed at night, unable to sleep. She stared at the ceiling, her mind empty.
What on earth had attracted Lu Jinzhi's attention?
If it was someone else, she would still find ways to correct them, but that was Lu Jinzhi.
He would prepare and think thoroughly before doing anything and would not act impulsively, which was why this became a very tricky matter.
After a while, her cell phone rang.
When I picked it up, I saw it was a message from Lu Jinzhi: "If you can't sleep, you can send me a message."
“…”
Qiao Wu read it but didn't reply.
After a few minutes, the phone vibrated again.
Lu Jinzhi: "I can't sleep."
Qiao Wu sneered and typed, "How can you forget if you don't fall asleep?"
Lu Jinzhi: "Forget what?"
Very good, you are already starting to act stupid.
Qiao Wu was too lazy to reply him.
But she never thought that Lu Jinzhi would be a talkative person.
The other party can even ask and answer his own questions without waiting for her to answer.
Lu Jinzhi: "I drank tonight and don't remember what I did. Did I offend you?"
Lu Jinzhi: "If so, I'm sorry, I can't help myself."
Qiao Wu typed angrily: "Didn't you say you don't remember?"
This time, the other party replied not with text, but with a voice message.
The man's smiling voice was very clear in the quiet night: "If you can forget something by drinking, is that called love?"
He was just talking about something he forgot to confess.
Qiao Wu could guess what Lu Jinzhi's expression was without even having to see him face to face. She quickly turned off the voice bar: "Why aren't you typing?"
Lu Jinzhi: "It's more solemn to say it in person."
He wanted to make a video call, but thinking about it would make him anxious.
This time, Qiao Wu racked her brains but couldn't find any reply. She was unwilling to continue chatting with Lu Jinzhi because she had no idea what the other party would do next.
"Asleep."
After sending these two words, she threw the phone aside.
Maybe she slept too much in the past two days, but now she has no sleepiness at all.
This has never happened before.
It’s all Lu Jinzhi’s fault.
But she stayed in the dark for a long time and suddenly came to her senses.
Why did she react so strongly to Lu Jinzhi's confession? There was no shortage of people who liked her.
She could easily add Shen Yan on WeChat, but why did she feel uncomfortable talking to Lu Jinzhi?
She thought about it for a while and found the answer.
Because Lu Jinzhi was different from other men, she and him had a past bond and a relationship better than that of family, so she subconsciously thought that it was impossible for her and Lu Jinzhi to be together, and she never included him as a candidate for her other half.
But in fact, she and Lu Jinzhi have no blood relationship.
During his alone time, Qiao Wu forced himself to calm down and think seriously about his plans for the future.
Work, life, family, love.
And putting aside all the additional conditions, it’s just Lu Jinzhi himself.
She had told Shen Yan that her view on love was very idealistic, and she did not expect to meet someone who met her expectations in the future, so her attitude towards relationships was to let things take their course.
Excluding the fact that they grew up under the same roof, this person obviously meets this requirement, but she just doesn't like him now.
But now it’s Lu Jinzhi who likes her, what does it have to do with her?
The choice is hers.
Thinking of this, Qiao Wu's thoughts suddenly became clear.
What to do was Lu Jinzhi's business to worry about, there was no need for her to put herself in such a choice.
Lu Jinzhi did it. From today on, he was not just a friend in her eyes, but a friend who liked her.
Although it was still a bit absurd, Qiao Wu had persuaded herself to accept the reality, and she couldn't control other people's feelings.
After she came out of her fixed mindset, she really fell asleep peacefully and casually.
It was not until she woke up the next day that she realized she didn't seem to have taken medicine before going to bed last night.
Picking up the phone, Lu Jinzhi hadn't said anything else since he sent her a good night message last night, but half an hour ago he asked her if she was awake.
Qiao Wu suddenly felt very happy.
He had been so calm and composed talking nonsense last night that it had confused her mind. In the end, it was his own fault that he hadn't slept well.
She asked what time the flight was today.
"You decide."
Then came a second message: "I asked the hotel to send two breakfasts. Come over to eat after you wash up?"
Qiao Wu: "No."
Lu Jinzhi: "What a waste."
Qiao Wu imitated what he had done last night, picked up his phone and clicked on the voice message: "You can pack it up and eat it on the way."
He added, "Lu Jinzhi, you need to put yourself in the right position as a pursuer and have some sense of boundaries."
After a few seconds of silence, the other end only replied with the word "OK".
Qiao Wu felt relieved.
After washing up, she first called the hotel to order breakfast, and then began to check the return flight ticket.
Lu Jinzhi was probably not sure what time she would get up, so he didn't make a reservation.
After planning her return time and booking her flight ticket, Qiao Wu heard the doorbell ring. She thought it was for breakfast, but when she opened the door, she didn't expect that the person pushing the food cart outside would be Lu Jinzhi.
She was stunned.
Lu Jinzhi had indeed put himself in the right position, so he followed his inner choice and came over with the food cart: "The pursuer wants to have breakfast with you now."
Qiao Wu: “…”
Before she could speak, Lu Jinzhi said, "The hotel staff won't be coming."
There was no need to think about it, he must have been intercepted halfway.
Qiao Wu didn't want to call innocent employees around for personal matters, so he opened the door and said, "Come in."
Seeing Lu Jinzhi pushing a food cart in a well-dressed suit, which looked out of place, Qiao Wu couldn't help but laugh and said, "That's how you use it, Lu Jinzhi."
Lu Jinzhi set the breakfast on the table, turned around and said with a smile, "It's harmless to use some means to achieve your goal."
He imagined many possible reactions from Qiao Wu, but he didn't expect her to accept it so well and return to her original state.
Good news, she doesn't reject it.
She doesn't reject bad news.
Just treated him as someone no different from anyone else.
Qiao Wu also wanted to take this opportunity to make things clear with him. She sat down in front of Lu Jinzhi and said while eating, "I don't want this to affect my normal work, so you can't tell anyone, especially your family. If anyone else finds out, I will kick you out as a suitor."
The nature of her job is special. If other people knew about this, and if she and Lu Jinzhi did not end up together, it would make their relationship awkward and would also affect her family's opinion of her.
And to be honest, Qiao Wu couldn't guarantee what the consequences would be if other people knew about it.
Thinking of this, she frowned again. There were two other people at home who also depended on her, so the withdrawal work had to be intensified.
Lu Jinzhi nodded gently: "Okay."
Seeing that his attitude was not bad, Qiao Wu continued, "If I feel uncomfortable in any way, I will also kick you out, but my work plan for the Lu family is still five years away, so if we can't make it, you can't fire me before I ask to leave."
At least let her see others taking the right path.
No?
Lu Jinzhi smiled and said, "Okay."
There was no way he was going to fire her.
As for whether it will succeed or not, it may be a bit difficult.
He looked up at the person who was negotiating terms with him seriously and thought that she was so naive and cute in some ways.
He asked patiently, "Anything else?"
“No more.”
"Then it's time to do me a second favor."
Lu Jinzhi put down his cutlery and asked, "Is there a guide to choosing a partner?"
Qiao Wu: “?”
What weird thing are you asking?
Seeing her eyes widen, Lu Jinzhi laughed: "A guide to domineering CEOs, a guide to wealthy families, a guide to harmonious families, you have your own set of standards, but don't you have any standards for me?"
"No specific direction, thank you." Qiao Wu corrected his wording.
Lu Jinzhi didn't comment. It didn't make any difference to him.
"Who's pursuing someone and then asking them for strategies?" Qiao Wu said unhappily, "You've been deducted points."
"What is my starting score?"
"Zero points." Qiao Wu took a bite of the egg expressionlessly, with a hint of provocation, "Now it's minus twenty."
Lu Jinzhi was rarely stunned for a moment, then he turned his head slightly and smiled.
"why are you laughing."
"I never noticed it before." Lu Jinzhi finished laughing and turned to look at her, "You are really cute."
"…minus forty."
-
Qiao Wu booked a flight for the afternoon. Due to her accidental injury, Lu Jinzhi stayed in the port area for two more days. Even if he had to work overtime in the hotel, he had to go back to the company now. The two parted at the airport.
She felt that Lu Jinzhi did a great job in this regard. Even if the rhythm was disrupted, he would correct the mess.
She had just told the driver that she was going back to Lu's house when she suddenly received a call from Lu Ning.
"Qiao Wu." Lu Ning on the other end sounded nervous. "Are you back?"
"Well, what's wrong?"
Lu Ning breathed a sigh of relief and stuttered, "I want to ask you if I can keep a pet at home."
"pet?"
"It's a very small cat. I picked it up at school," Lu Ning said. "I took it to the veterinary hospital. It was so tiny and pitiful."
Seeing that she was just a child, the veterinarian repeatedly reminded her that there were many things to pay attention to when raising such a small cat. If she really wanted to keep the cat, she needed the parents' consent and the parents had to come and take the cat away.
Because many children take animals away out of curiosity, and if their parents disagree, the animals will be thrown away again, or the children will abandon the animals after their curiosity is satisfied.
Therefore, parents need to sign the adoption documents.
Lu Ning thought of Qiao Wu without hesitation.
Qiao Wu didn't say yes or no, but first said: "Give me the address."
She quickly arrived at the pet hospital and saw Lu Ning, who was not wearing her school uniform jacket, sitting at the door.
Qiao Wu pushed the door open and went in: "Where are the clothes?"
Hearing her voice, Lu Ning, who was originally anxious and confused, suddenly found his backbone and stood up excitedly.
But when he saw the gauze on Qiao Wu's forehead, his eyes widened and he tiptoed to check her wound: "You are injured!"
"I bumped into it accidentally." Qiao Wu didn't want to make anyone else worry, so he held her hand and let it go. "It's okay."
There is almost no autumn in the north city. The temperature is very low at the end of November, and it drizzles when you get off the car outside.
Even though the pet shop was air-conditioned, Lu Ning's hands were still a little cold: "What's going on?"
"I gave the kitten my clothes because I was worried it would be cold." Lu Ning was still worried, "Is it really okay? Have you seen a doctor?"
"I've even had your second uncle look at it."
"Oh." Lu Ning was relieved. "Then everything is fine."
Second Uncle will not allow his privileges to be harmed.
She told the story of how she encountered a kitten that was almost hit by a car outside the school gate and then took the kitten to the hospital.
She looked at Qiao Wu with anticipation, gesturing at the kitten's size. "The doctor said it's not full-term yet. It's too small to grow up on its own. It needs someone to take care of it. Can I take it home?"
As he spoke, his eyes started to turn red.
Qiao Wu felt a little soft-hearted.
This child needs someone to take care of him and grow up on his own.
"Okay." She nodded, "But there's a prerequisite."
"Uh-huh."
Qiao Wu had never had a pet before, so she had researched some common sense about raising cats on the way here. She said gently, "Very young kittens need to be hand-fed every day. They're very fragile and need careful care. When they grow up a little, you need to teach them to use the toilet. They might be very noisy and break some of your things, and they might make noise and keep you awake. They shed, so you need to take good care of them. Don't you mind all that?"
Actually, I do mind it a little.
But Lu Ning thought of the lonely little one and endured it: "I will overcome it."
Qiao Wu just told her about the difficulties she would encounter in the future, at least to give her some peace of mind and not act impulsively.
She reassured him, "You can't abandon it casually, and you can't leave it to the servants. You have to write down all the precautions the doctor tells you and take care of it yourself."
Lu Ning immediately said, "I will!"
"Okay." Qiao Wu rubbed her head, "Then take it back."
Many things in the pet hospital are ready-made, so you can just buy them and put them in the trunk.
Qiao Wu saw the doctor put the kitten in Lu Ning's arms. Lu Ning held the kitten carefully while holding her school uniform, with an unprecedented caution and seriousness on her face.
She smiled, took off her coat and put it on Lu Ning's shoulders, then turned around and signed the adoption form.
On the way back, Lu Ning never stopped talking.
She stroked the kitten's head and said, "You have a home now. My room is big and my bed is big too. We can sleep together."
He also said: "I earn money from my uncles to support you."
Qiao Wu turned around and looked at her: "You are quite financially savvy."
“It’s because they have money.”
Lu Ning's card was still inactive, and the money she spent was all the "buyout fees" given to her by the uncles. In a sense, she was using the uncles' money to raise the cat.
"It's my cat now," she said excitedly. "I'm going to give it a name."
Qiao Wu thought: "Let's go back and look it up in the dictionary."
She was very skeptical about the name Lu Ning came up with given her current level of Chinese.
"No need." Lu Ning shook her head, having obviously thought it through long ago. "It's called Wuwu."
Qiao Wu was stunned and couldn't help but look back.
It was obvious that Lu Ning had no idea what she had said, and it was impossible for the memories of her babbling to remain until now.
So naturally, I didn't remember calling her in such a vague way at the beginning.
Qiao Wu didn't think there was anything wrong with it, instead he felt a sense of familiarity.
"Does it sound good?" Lu Ning asked.
"Yeah." Qiao Wu reached out and touched the kitten that suddenly had a home. "It sounds nice."
Lu Ning was happy and kept humming the kitten while holding it.
Qiao Wu listened quietly.
She also had the illusion of being back to the time when she was just born, suddenly surrounded by a group of strangers who called her Xiaowu and gave her a home.
Returning to the Lu residence, she moved some of her luggage to one of the empty rooms in the main house.
The reason why her father had his own small villa was because he got married and had children. It was a wedding gift from Lu Jiang to him.
Until then, her father had lived in this room in the main house for the convenience of his work.
Even if no one has lived there for a long time, the maids will clean the house every day.
Although Lu Ning was asked to write down the precautions at that time, Lu Ning was still a child who needed to go to school every day and was still growing and needed enough sleep, but Wuwu at this time needed to be woken up several times every night to be checked and fed.
Qiao Wu wouldn't really let Lu Ning waste so much time, so she wrote down what the doctor said.
She will live here temporarily during this period and raise the kitten here. When Wuwu can be more independent, she will send the kitten to Lu Ning's room.
After all, if Wuwu was brought to her house, it would be inconvenient for Lu Ning to go back and forth.
Lu Ning felt that this was inappropriate: "Then you have to sleep and work too."
"I don't have to go to the company every day." Qiao Wu said, "Besides, I'm an adult. I can arrange my work and rest time more reasonably than you. You still need someone to take care of it when you go to school, right?"
After hearing this, Lu Ning instantly felt very guilty.
She didn't expect that wanting a kitten would cause so much trouble and bother others.
She whispered, "I'm sorry, I didn't think that much."
"These aren't things you need to worry about." Qiao Wu gestured for her to do her homework first. "Family members should help each other."
But Lu Ning squatted down beside her and took the things from her hand: "I'm at home now, let me do it, I've finished my homework at school."
"You're not going to check on your uncle?"
"He's been very busy lately and usually comes home very late," Lu Ning said. "It seems like there's a competition at school, so I've been doing my homework with Zhong Shixia at school, and he's been helping me with it."
Moreover, Zhong Shixia would not curse or force her to eat walnuts, and was much more efficient than Lu Yingchi.
"Contest?"
Qiao Wu had just finished speaking when the door behind him was violently pushed open. Lu Yingchi stood at the doorway and said, "Lu Ning, what are you bringing with you..."
Seeing the person squatting on the carpet with Lu Ning, Lu Yingchi immediately stood up straighter: "Qiao Wu? When did you come back?"
He heard that Lu Ning brought back a kitten.
That little thing Lu Ning is so confused that she can't even have her period. How can she raise a kitten? It's good enough that she doesn't crush the kitten to death.
That's why he came up to take a look.
I didn't expect to see such a pleasant surprise.
A few days ago, his phone was snatched away by Lu Jinzhi and he didn't have time to call Qiao Wu. Later, when he sent a message, Qiao Wu took a long time to reply. Plus, he was very busy, so he never had the chance to talk to her.
He was eager to tell her the good news, but when he got closer, he found that there was gauze on Qiao Wu's forehead.
Lu Yingchi's face instantly darkened, his eyes filled with a stormy rage. He quickly walked over to Qiao Wu, squatted down, and cupped her face with both hands, staring at her intently: "Who did this?!"
He killed him!
Qiao Wu has been particularly sensitive to physical contact lately, and leaned back to avoid his hand: "It was an accidental bump. You're an adult, don't touch me."
"What's wrong with a touch?" Lu Yingchi was irritated and forcibly twisted her face. "Lu Xuan can lean on your shoulder, but I can't even look at his wound?"
Qiao Wu frowned: "Lu Yingchi."
Seeing her cold eyes, Lu Yingchi was stunned and subconsciously withdrew his hand.
Qiao Wu realized that he had to make him understand the gender boundaries: "You treat female classmates like this too?"
"Of course not!"
"Why?"
"You said they were female classmates. Why would a grown man like me touch them?"
Qiao Wu laughed: "So in your eyes I am a man?"
“…”
Lu Yingchi choked.
"I'm only four years older than your female classmate." Qiao Wu raised his eyebrows. "Do you understand now why you can't touch me?"
Lu Ning whispered softly, "We 13-year-olds all know not to touch boys except when fighting."
"What nonsense." Lu Yingchi retorted subconsciously, "I'm different from others."
Qiao Wu asked slowly, "You're not a man?"
"Of course not!" Lu Yingchi was a little irritable.
He was used to being close to Qiao Wu, so for a moment he was unwilling to understand why they suddenly had to treat her as a man and not touch her.
"Lu Xuan is not a woman either!" He made an excuse for himself.
Qiao Wu guessed that Lai Shen, who had been causing trouble that day, had found a way to show it to him, so he explained briefly: "He can't touch it either. It was an accident that day. I was acting with him."
As expected, Lu Yingchi's attention was diverted as soon as he heard this. He wanted to fly over and throw Lai Shen into the sea right then and there: "It's that bastard again! He should have been stripped naked in the street that day and his reputation ruined."
"You've been too busy these past few days to watch the legal channel." Qiao Wu glanced at him, "Lu."
“I saw it!”
When Lu Yingchi was mentioned, he became very proud and couldn't wait to say, "Didn't I promise you the other day? So I've been busy with the career planning competition at school recently, and we'll be discussing it together over the weekend."
Qiao Wu had heard of this competition before. Different grades had different ways of participating.
But it is very helpful for college students to sort out their thoughts and plan their future.
"Not bad." She chuckled, "Keep it up."
"That's it?"
Lu Yingchi hinted wildly.
Reward, where is my reward?
"I brought gifts." Qiao Wu pushed his big head away, "I'll give them to you later."
Lu Yingchi was not satisfied with this answer. Knowing Qiao Wu, he knew that everyone would get one. "I mean the reward. It has to be special."
Qiao Wu asked casually, "What do you want?"
Lu Yingchi was stunned by the question.
He subconsciously thought that this time Qiao Wu would give him the same surprise as before, and it didn't necessarily mean going to the Zero Ring Line or drinking. He would be very happy with anything Qiao Wu gave him, as long as it was special for him.
But if you ask him what he needs, he doesn't have a clear answer.
Thinking of Qiao Wu's repeated attempts to push him away, he said, "Why don't you stay home instead of going to Jingshui Villa this weekend?"
Qiao Wu raised his eyes and looked at him quietly: "Reason."
Lu Yingchi was a little nervous.
He felt that if he said he wanted her to accompany him, he would definitely be scolded for not being weaned.
"My classmates are coming to my house for a group meeting," he said, feigning composure. "But we're all inexperienced. Could you please guide us?"
It wasn't an excessive request, so Qiao Wu felt a little relieved: "Okay."
It seems that he has learned his limits.
Lu Yingchi secretly said YES in his heart!
Hey, Lu Xuan, luckily I didn’t enter the entertainment industry, otherwise you would be unemployed!
He pretended to casually take out his cell phone and took advantage of the time when Qiao Wu went to make milk powder to type frantically in the group chat.
Lu Yingchi: "1111111@all members."
Lu Yingchi: "Let's have a meeting!"
Fei Jingming: "What's wrong?"
Lu Yingchi: "I sincerely invite you to come to my house this weekend for a group meeting. Food, accommodation, entertainment, and transportation are all provided. You can play basketball, golf, billiards, play games, ride horses, archery, and swim at home. There is also free-flowing wine in the wine cellar, and you can order whatever you want."
Everyone: “!!!”
Ye Liang: "...Brother, did something good happen to you?"
Lu Yingchi: "There is such a thing, but it's no big deal, so let's not talk about it."
Fei Jingming: "Okay then."
Lu Yingchi: "If you insist on asking, then I'll tell you."
Ye Liang: "Not really."
Lu Yingchi: "It's Qiao Wu. You know her, right? She's not going on vacation this week and insisted on staying home with me."
Everyone: “…”
Bro, is that true?
Ye Liang: "Hahaha, that's really great! She must care about you a lot."
Lu Yingchi was very satisfied when he saw the message in the group. After showing off, he put away his phone contentedly. Only then did he remember what he came here for.
"Where's that little gadget?"
"Ahhhh Lu Yingchi, my woooooo!" Lu Ning pushed him away. "Can't you see my woooooooo with those two big holes on your face?"
Only then did Lu Yingchi see a lump lying on a small mat.
"Is this a cat?" He poked it with his hand. "Not a mouse?"
Lu Ning glared at him: "Are you polite?"
"You're so ugly." Lu Yingchi withdrew his hand in disgust, "Just like when you were a child."
Lu Ning: "Are you going to die or not?"
"Have you chosen a name yet?"
"Woo woo." Lu Ning didn't argue with him, "It calls woo woo."
“…”
I didn't listen carefully just now and thought it was just an interjection she was using to act cute.
Lu Yingchi still remembered how Lu Ning, when she was little, would drool and hold Qiao Wu tightly, crying "wuwu" (sob).
He looked up at Qiao Wu and saw that she was smiling and not rejecting the name. His heart moved slightly and he poked the cat again: "Woo woo."
As if he had stolen a candy hidden in a corner that no one knew about, he shouted again: "Woo woo."
Lu Ning hummed softly: "Woo woo, call me grandpa."
Lu Yingchi: “???”
He grabbed her ponytail fiercely and said, "What are you yelling about?"
"I'm Wuwu's mother. Isn't it right for him to call you grandpa?"
"How old are you and you're already a mother?" Lu Yingchi pointed to the door. "Didn't you see who was feeding her?"
Lu Ning rolled her eyes and felt that Qiao Wu was working harder than herself, and Wuwu had to live in Qiao Wu's house recently, so she readily accepted this fact.
"Then I'm the elder sister." She readily agreed, "Qiao Wu is the mother."
Lu Yingchi was satisfied now and asked again, "Who is the father?"
"Where did my dad come from?" Lu Ning wondered.
"Do you still want it to be a child from a single-parent family at such a young age? It's already very pitiful." Lu Yingchi coughed lightly and puffed out his chest. "How about this, I'll be its father reluctantly."
Qiao Wu, who had just finished making milk and walked to the door, said: "..."
A light "huh" sounded in her ear.
"He's missing a trick," she said.
"It's not strings he lacks," Lu Jinzhi, who came upstairs with her after working overtime, said calmly, "It's brains."
Hearing the sound coming from the door, the two people, one big and one small, who were sitting on the floor in the room turned around at the same time.
Lu Ning looked left and right, and felt that this scene was familiar. It was very similar to when she was choosing the room, and her second uncle reaped the benefits.
With the possessiveness of my second uncle, how could he allow someone else to be his father!
She thought for a few seconds, then decisively took out her phone and opened the payment code: "I found it, whoever gives the most money will be my father."
Qiao Wu was helpless: "What nonsense."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Jinzhi walked forward and scanned the code naturally.
Soon, a voice came from Lu Ning's phone: "Alipay has arrived..."
Lu Ning: “!!!”
Wow!
She looked back at Lu Yingchi with burning eyes: "What's your bid?"
Before Lu Yingchi could answer, Lu Jinzhi said casually, "He can't get out."
"Who said that!" Lu Yingchi took out his cell phone.
"I said." Lu Jinzhi glanced at him, "Your card is suspended."
Lu Yingchi: “……???”
Lu Ning: “!!!”
"Second Uncle." She instantly figured out who the master of this house was. It turned out that all the money she spent was Second Uncle's!
The rich one is the father!
From now on, all I’ll eat is my second uncle’s food!
She tilted her head back and lifted Wuwu up: "From now on, you are Wuwu's father!"
Lu Jinzhi's eyebrows suddenly raised. He took the cat and looked back at Qiao Wu, saying meaningfully, "Woo woo?"
Qiao Wu had a headache. She walked over and took Wuwu from Lu Jinzhi's hand: "Could you please stop making things worse?"
"I didn't cause any trouble." Lu Jinzhi didn't know how to feed the kitten, so he had to follow her movements and gently put the cat in her hands. He was originally learning to feed the cat as part of his duty as a father.
But as he looked, his gaze shifted, first looking up at Qiao Wu's focused expression, then looking at her drooping eyelashes.
Lu Jinzhi suddenly felt very excited and quickly found a solution.
He leaned over slightly in this position and said in her ear with a smile in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Woo, woo, I'm jealous."
