Being cared about so much, Ye Guanguan gradually removed her curiosity about Qiao Xinyi. Whether she was Tuanzi’s mother or not and whatever happened between Lu Jinting and that girl, she should wait patiently to get the answer from Lu Jinting face to face instead of guessing unreasonably.
Ye Guanguan averted her eyes from the doorway. Paying all her attention to the man and the kid nearby who really concerned about her.
“I’m okay, my little honey. Hypoglycemia just means I’m suffering from blood deficiency. Maybe it’s caused by my poor sleep these days.”
Ye Guanguan uttered and took one look at Lu Jinting. While Lu Jinting just shrugged his shoulders to distance himself from it.
The closeness of the little family annoyed Qiao Xinyi dreadfully. It got harder and harder for her to keep graceful and generous. Managing a weak smile on her pale face, she walked out the door finally.
There should have been a family dinner that night. However, Ye Guanguan fell in a faint so suddenly and had been asleep for several hours, so the dinner was eventually called off. Besides, Old Mr. Lu told the cooks that he had no appetite and asked those young people to have dinner themselves.
“Jinting,” Old Mr. Lu called Lu Jinting as he slowly stepped to the door, holding a stick in his hand. Catching sight of slim figure of the girl who seemed to be pretty wronged, Old Mr. Lu couldn’t help sighing and saying, “Xinyi is a weak young girl. She comes here alone, so you’d better drive her back.”
At this point, Qiao Xinyi just stood still outside the door and kept as silent as an ostrich. It was true that she got shocked when Ye Guanguan fell to the ground unexpectedly.
Qiao Xinyi felt surprised as well. She wondered why Ye Guanguan could fell in a faint shortly after walking with her and asking a few questions. ‘Is she framing me?’ Qiao Xinyi got so confused.
She quickly realized that Ye Guanguan was a powerful enemy for her. Qiao Xinyi was also afraid that Lu Jinting would detest her for that.
“That’s all right, grandfather. I can go back home myself.”
She still looked so sensible and lovely, which made people, especially Old Mr. Lu, feel pity for her.
Old Mr. Lu was waiting to get a response from Lu Jinting. To his surprise, Lu Jinting didn’t follow his words to take actions. Instead, he just stood there still with his back to Old Mr. Lu and directly refused.
“I’m not free now. Just let your driver do that.”
Since Qiao Xinyi came here alone, she should return home in advance. Lu Jinting was clear about Old Mr. Lu and Qiao Xinyi’s intention. He had been aware of the plot years before and had never been trapped. He rejected more directly in front of Ye Guanguan.
Qiao Xinyi simply thought that Old Mr. Lu would help her. But Lu Jinting refused so directly and he even asked someone else to drive her back.
His words completely showed that his time could only be left for Ye Guanguan.
Being wronged for a whole day and losing the last chance, Qiao Xinyi couldn’t bear it anymore and said, her eyes slowly welled up in tears, “Don’t bother. I’ll do it myself.”
Qiao Xinyi stamped the ground in a passion, weeping and running out. Old Mr. Lu had difficulty in walking and was not able to run as fast as these young people. He immediately asked servants to stop Qiao Xinyi and scolded at Lu Jinting fiercely with a cold face.
“Of course, you have the right to dislike her. But Xinyi is just a young girl. Why do you disgrace her like that?”
Lu Jinting felt pretty aggrieved, asking, “Grandfather, did I say anything rude to her just now?”
Seeing that his grandson refused to admit his mistake and behaved as nothing wrong happened, Old Mr. Lu went out the room in a rage. Holding the stick in his hand, he tried to stop Qiao Xinyi himself.
The room got quiet in the end but Ye Guanguan felt worried in her heart.
“Mister, isn’t it improper to do that? Your grandfather is so furious.”
“He should have been used to that.”
Lu Jinting opened the closet at the end of the bed and took out a piece of thick quilt. It got colder as autumn came. So it would be easy to have cold if they just used the thin one.
Since Lu Jinting ignored her words, Ye Guanguan burst into laughter and began talking with Tuanzi, holding him happily.
“Tuanzi, don’t you think your father is too cold? After all, that aunt is pretty.”
Tuanzi didn’t know that she was just teasing him and shook his head honestly.
“Dad doesn’t like Aunt Qiao, so I don’t like her too.”
No one knew who taught the little boy the way of treating people. It was obvious that Tuanzi also held a cold attitude to those people his father disliked. Ye Guanguan smiled and shook her head, stretching out her hands and holding Tuanzi into her arms.
“Why do you like me then?”
“Mommy is beautiful.”
Ye Guanguan got delighted with his sweet words, a beautiful smile appearing on her face.
Both Ye Guanguan and Tuanzi were lying in the quilt. Seeing that, Lu Jinting paused for a while when he was tidying the bed. He quietly went to them and took Tuanzi, who got stunned, out of Ye Guanguan’s arms.
“It’s late now. Go back your own room to sleep.”
Tuanzi was just three years old and it was reasonable for him to sleep with his parents. Furthermore, he was so sweet and Ye Guanguan got so happy hearing his words. Ye Guanguan found that she grew too fond of the little guy.
“Mister, let Tuanzi sleep with us tonight.”
Ye Guanguan really wanted to have a rest this night. After all, it would be hard for Lu Jinting to stop on the way once he started making love with her. He was always so energetic. Ye Guanguan blushed thinking of that.
While what Ye guanguan said made Lu Jinting’s face darken. He put Tuanzi at the end of the bed stably without asking Ye Guanguan’s opinion.
He seemed to be seeking for Tuanzi’s advice. Actually, he was tempering justice with mercy.
“Do you want to sleep with mom?”
Tuanzi couldn’t help rolling his eyes, cast a glance to Ye Guanguan and then averted his eyes to Lu Jinting.
“Yes,” Tuanzi swallow saliva and answered.
Lu Jinting frowned and wondered, ‘Why can’t this little boy get the hint?”
“You are three years old already. You should learn to be independent.”
Hearing his words, Ye Guanguan was shocked into cold sweat. She began sleeping alone after she was eight years old. She was so small at that time and her parents loved her dearly. That was the reason why she kept innocent in her twenties.
If Lu Mingye didn’t teach her the lesson, she would never get to know the true colors of people around her in the previous life.
“Mister, it’s okay if you treat Miss. Qiao in this way. Tuanzi is your son. Can’t you treat him gently.”
She carefully held Tuanzi back in her arms. As soon as Tuanzi saw the changing expressions of his father, he unconsciously got out of her arms, put on the shoes himself and stood straight.
“I can sleep alone. Don’t worry about me, mom, dad.”
Tuanzi walked out of the room step by step, and he even gave a military salute to them as if he was a little soldier.
Ye Guanguan felt so sorry for Tuanzi and complained, “Mister, you are really cool-blooded.”
Lu Jinting observed the changes of Ye Guanguan’s expression and slowly got close to her. His superb figure made Ye Guanguan feel stressful.
“Cool-blooded?”
With the fierce eyes approaching, Ye Guanguan nodded seriously as she never felt scared about anything, including the man who looked like a leopard at the moment.
“Tuanzi is your son…”
“What about that person?”
It seemed that Lu Jinting was even not willing to mention Qiao Xinyi’s name. Being stared firmly, Ye Guanguan lowered her head but Lu Jinting soon lifted her chin.
“Look at me.”
Ye Guanguan blushed and stuttered insincerely, “You can be a little polite to Miss Qiao.”
“Are you sure?”
Lu Jinting smiled slightly and his mint-flavored breath touched Ye Guanguan’s face. According to his temper, he would punish Ye Guanguan all out. However, he just took his coat and was about to leave.
