Chapter 474 The Problematic Baby VS The Arrogant Guy Who Loves to Ask Questions 26
"Of course not." Jiang Zhiyi shook her head, calming herself down and stopping thinking about these things.
In any case, her family situation was what it was, and he already knew it. There was nothing to be embarrassed about. Who knows, he might even take pity on her and decide to give her some money to help support her family.
Lu Jingxun sat down in the chair and casually glanced around.
He knew her family was poor, but he didn't expect them to be this poor, with the whole family crammed into such a dilapidated house.
I did feel a little hesitant.
She's already having a terrible time, wouldn't it be too much for me to torment her further?
But then he thought again that the situation in her family was not caused by him and had nothing to do with him, but she had indeed brought him a lot of trouble. It was perfectly fine for him to punish her a little.
It was already noon, and the heat was slowly rising. The small room was becoming stuffy, and even though there were occasional breezes, they were still sweltering.
Jiang Zhiyi went to the inner room and brought out a standing fan.
Lu Jingxun looks very delicate, with an air of being pampered. I hope she doesn't get heatstroke in her house, otherwise it will be a real problem.
This fan is from an unknown, off-brand brand. It looks like it's been used for many years, and the casing is rusty. When it starts up, it makes a strange "creaking" sound.
However, the wind was strong, and a gust of hot air rushed towards us with a buzzing sound.
"Isn't it much cooler now?" Jiang Zhiyi asked.
Lu Jingxun paused, but he didn't actually say anything, though he still nodded.
"I was worried you were too hot. It's good that you're cool now." Jiang Zhiyi gave him a satisfied smile, clearly not realizing he was just being polite.
Lu Jingxun looked down at her, feeling increasingly that she was naive to the point of being silly.
“Didn’t you say you wanted an air conditioner last time? I…” He carefully chose his words, trying not to make his behavior seem too strange. “When the housekeeper bought air conditioners before, she bought a few extra, and they’ve been sitting idle in the warehouse. How about I give you a few? It’s so hot these days, it’s really uncomfortable without air conditioning.”
Jiang Zhiyi's eyes widened slightly, with a hint of surprise.
Has Lu Jingxun really changed his personality?
They actually offered to replace her air conditioner.
“You…” Jiang Zhiyi wanted to feign refusal, but she was afraid that if she said it, Lu Jingxun would really change his mind and not see her off, so she immediately shut her mouth.
"I can't accept this. Thank you so much," she said softly.
His tone clearly conveyed a sense of glad acceptance.
Only a fool would refuse to accept it.
Compared to saving face, air conditioning is clearly more important.
Sometimes when the weather is too hot and humid, she might get heat rash if she wears even slightly thicker clothes, and she often can't sleep at night because of the heat. If there were air conditioning...
"You're welcome." Lu Jingxun noticed her eyes were shining and a slight smile appeared on his lips. "I'll have the housekeeper arrange for someone to come over tomorrow."
Jiang Zhiyi nodded emphatically, then looked at him curiously, "How come you suddenly became so nice?"
Lu Jingxun raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but laugh out loud. "I've always been like this, it's just that there might have been some misunderstandings between us before. Please forgive me if I've ever been inconsiderate in any way. From now on... let's be good friends, okay?"
If Lu Jingxun is willing, he is the best at disguising himself.
He could tell lies without a single flaw, and every move he made was perfectly timed.
His innate noble temperament, coupled with his strikingly handsome face, was undoubtedly an excellent disguise.
By donning such a facade, one can easily lower one's guard and fall into the carefully woven "gentle trap."
“…Hmm.” Jiang Zhiyi didn’t notice anything amiss. Seeing his friendliness, she was naturally delighted.
No one would dislike someone like that.
She thought about bringing him something to offer, but looking around, she couldn't see anything good to give him except for watermelon.
"What would you like to eat? Or would you like some tea?" She could only ask him.
Noticing her discomfort, Lu Jingxun took the initiative to say, "No need, no need to trouble yourself. Sit down and talk to me, it's rare for you to have some free time. Your younger brother and sister probably won't sleep for long either, and you'll have to take care of them when they wake up. The atmosphere in your home is very warm, I quite like it..."
Family and relatives are undoubtedly what Jiang Zhiyi cares about most. Lu Jingxun is well aware of this, so he deliberately started the conversation on this topic.
Only by touching the softest part of her heart can you quickly get closer to her.
Sure enough, upon hearing him say that, Jiang Zhiyi immediately smiled sweetly.
As they chatted, Lu Jingxun gradually coaxed information out of her, from her family's source of income to various daily matters... and soon he had a pretty good understanding of her family situation.
It turned out to be pretty much as he had expected.
"They're going to kindergarten in September?" Lu Jingxun nodded slightly, seemingly thinking about something. "Once they start school, there will be a lot more things to keep in mind. But they're both very smart, so they shouldn't have too much trouble adapting... If they need any help, they can come to me anytime."
Not long after, there was a commotion upstairs, and there seemed to be faint crying sounds.
Jiang Qiujin and Jiang Qiuyin are still young and don't sleep very soundly. Sometimes when they wake up from their sleep, they can't find any familiar people in their daze, and they panic and can't help but cry.
Upon hearing the sound, Jiang Zhiyi frowned and said, "I'll go up and check on them; they should be awake."
Lu Jingxun replied, "Okay."
Then, she quickly walked up the stairs.
Lu Jingxun stayed in the living room to wait. The afternoon sun shone through the window, casting dappled shadows on the floor.
The living room was extremely quiet, with only the old-fashioned wall clock ticking away.
Unlike his previous faint smile, Lu Jingxun now seemed like a completely different person, with deep eyes, an expressionless face, and a clear sense of aloofness.
Suddenly, the half-closed courtyard gate was gently pushed open, and Ye Jingming, carrying several supermarket shopping bags, steadily walked into the courtyard.
The bag contained fresh fruit and meat, as well as snacks specially bought for Jinjin and Yinyin. The colorful snack packaging was faintly visible inside the bag.
He walked straight toward the house without stopping, but stopped abruptly just as he reached the door.
As if sensing something, he raised his head slightly, his gaze meeting that of Lu Jingxun inside the room.
Lu Jingxun sat in a chair in the living room. Hearing the noise, he slightly raised his eyes and his gaze slowly fell on Ye Jingming.
There was a hint of disdain in his eyes, as if he were examining an insignificant object, yet there was also a touch of amusement in them.
