Isn’t Ji Niandong rushing home? She hasn’t seen those father and son for a long time, and misses them terribly. Excitedly returning home, she just pressed the password lock and walked in, then suddenly froze.
"You’re back?" Lu Beichen’s eyes lit up upon seeing her, he stood up and walked to the door to take the things from her hand, then wrapped her tightly in his arms, "Why didn’t you tell us you were coming back? It’s been half a month, Nian Nian and I have missed you."
He spoke in a low, ambiguous tone, with a hint of playful accusation, Ji Niandong glanced at Gu Xiyao who was sitting beside them, always with a smile, and pushed him, "I was trying to surprise you."
"Hmm, what a surprise!"
Gu Xiyao had never seen Lu Beichen before. He always seemed regal and coldly elegant, but at this moment, he was deeply affectionate towards this woman.
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, perhaps it’s true!
Sitting there was a bit awkward, feeling on pins and needles, she stood up and said softly: "Little Uncle, then I’ll be leaving first."
"Mm, I won’t see you off then." Lu Beichen replied to her words, never loosening his embrace on the little woman in his arms.
Gu Xiyao smiled, still as graceful and poised, "Then I’ll take my leave."
She spoke these words to Ji Niandong who was watching her, Ji Niandong nodded and also reached out to hug Lu Beichen, the couple truly didn’t have any intention of seeing her off.
Gu Xiyao didn’t seem to find anything inappropriate, she opened the door and left, still bright and enchanting as ever. For origınal chapters go to 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚑𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚑𝙣𝙚𝙩
Once the door closed, Ji Niandong completely leaned into Lu Beichen’s embrace, with a spoiled and dissatisfied tone she asked: "You didn’t go to work today? Why was Miss Gu in our home?"
"I knew you’d be back today, so I stayed home waiting for you. Xi Yao came over to consult with me. I mentioned last time, Uncle Ning wants Ning Zesheng to return to the Ning Family’s company, asking Xi Yao to help persuade him. Mrs. Ning is surely unwilling for him to return, they’re already facing difficulties even before entering. Xi Yao’s parents can’t return from abroad for now, so she could only come to ask me."
He patiently explained bit by bit, and it made sense, Ji Niandong couldn’t keep fussing anymore, she simply responded with "Mm," clinging onto him saying: "I missed you too."
Lu Beichen picked her up, leaned down and kissed her for a long while before reluctantly letting go, if not for thinking Lu Sinian could come home at any time, he would have been unable to resist having his way with her right there.
After the kiss, he held her close and said gently: "Though I quite enjoy Mrs. Lu getting jealous for me, you can skip these petty and baseless jealousies, I fear it would only trouble Mrs. Lu unnecessarily."
Ji Niandong naturally understood what he meant, she silently breathed a sigh of relief, realizing she was being too particular. Gu Xiyao is about to get married. Even if there was a past between them, it’s all in the past.
Besides, he treats her so well now, doting on her outrageously, if she were to keep fussing it would only mean she was being ungrateful.
Ji Niandong nodded slightly, her tone lightened, "Of course I’m not jealous, I just don’t particularly like Miss Gu, especially since she doesn’t recognize me as her little aunt!"
She held her head up with a little arrogant look, Lu Beichen smiled, pinched her face lightly, "Hmm, right, if she doesn’t call you little aunt, then just ignore her."
He agreed with her without hesitation, "However, has the quality of food in the crew become worse? Mrs. Lu’s face looks thinner."
Complaining that she’s got thinner!
Ji Niandong cupped her face, secretly touching it, "I obviously lost weight because I missed you!"
