Xu Rubao's fair face was burning hot, truly a testament to someone's shamelessness.
Seeing that her face was so red, Lu Jingheng decided not to tease her anymore.
He helped her sit down on the sofa. "What are you doing at Night Song tonight?"
Does she know that when he saw her dressed like that in front of so many men, he was so angry that he almost wanted to kill her?
Xu Rubao hesitated for a moment, then looked up at his face, which looked rather unhappy.
"I...I was planning to come back after school, but I ran into Xu Ziqing at the school gate, and we went to catch her cheating."
"Catching someone in the act?"
Upon hearing this word, Lu Jingheng's expression darkened further, and he couldn't help but reach out and pinch her nose.
"Do you even know what Night Song is? You're a young girl, running around in there. Do you know how dangerous it is? If you hadn't run into me tonight, you would have been eaten alive, you idiot."
Xu Rubao knew this, of course. Hearing Lu Jingheng say this, she was a little worried. "After all this commotion tonight, you just took me away. Won't that cause you trouble?"
"Now you're worried about me?"
Lu Jingheng rolled his eyes at her, annoyed. "Is catching someone in the act your responsibility? Or do you actually like Xu Ziyang?"
Previously, she was engaged to the young man from the Xu family; it was a marriage arranged by Old Master Xu.
However, Xu Ziyang looked down on her and insisted on breaking off the engagement.
Of course, Lu Jingheng was quite satisfied. If he hadn't broken off the engagement, he wouldn't have let Xu Rubao marry him.
“It wasn’t my choice to go. Xu Ziqing dragged me there because she didn’t want Xu Ziyang to be cuckolded. Well… I grew up eating Xu family rice, so I had to consider my grandfather’s reputation. If it weren’t for my grandfather’s kind heart, I might have died at birth.”
Lu Jingheng patted her head, noticing her somewhat downcast expression. "Did your grandfather ever tell you who your biological parents are? Do you want me to help you find them?"
If she wants to reunite with her biological parents, he will naturally help her.
Xu Rubao shook her head. "Grandpa never said anything, and I don't want to know. To me, Grandpa is the most important person in my family."
Whether they are biological or not is not that important, since she was abandoned by them from birth anyway.
She felt that it was very likely that they disliked her because they thought the birthmark on her face was ugly.
Over the years, she has endured countless scornful looks because of her birthmark.
Fortunately, her grandfather loved her very much, and she was content.
"Okay then, are you hungry?"
Lu Jingheng suddenly heard him ask her if she was hungry, and she felt her stomach was already rumbling in protest.
"I'm so hungry..."
It's almost 10 o'clock since school ended, and I haven't eaten a single grain of rice. I'm starving.
"Wait here for me a moment, I'll see what food is in the fridge."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Lu."
Xu Rubao watched him go into the kitchen and couldn't help but feel curious. A man like him didn't seem like the type to cook at all.
She couldn't help but worry: was the food he cooked safe to eat?
The thought flashed through Xu Rubao's mind, but then she felt somewhat shameless.
It's already a great favor that he can come into the kitchen and cook for her; how could she possibly ask for more in terms of taste?
Xu Rubao silently berated herself. Even if Lu Jingheng cooked up something poisonous, she would still eat it and be grateful. She absolutely couldn't upset him.
