Chapter 223 - Was that why  he asked her last night if she was on her way home? (3)
Edited by: Lulu

Ning Zhi counted the little suns inside the indicator. There were a total of 50 of them!

Was that what people meant by making money while lying in bed?

Ning Zhi was both happy and dazed at the same time. She had absolutely no idea what had happened. Did she kiss Lu Jue while she was asleep?

She reached her hand over and placed it on Lu Jue’s cheek. All the little suns rushed over to her immediately.

After she had harvested all of the little suns, Ning Zhi said awkwardly to Lu Jue, “Did I kiss you in my sleep?”

Under Lu Jue’s black, dark hair, the tips of his ears were red. Had Zhizhi discovered that he had kissed her in her sleep?

Lu Jue didn’t know how to lie. Pinching his lips shut, he finally said after a long while, “Kiss you.”

“You kissed me in my sleep?” Ning Zhi paused a little but then couldn't help but tease him. “How many times did you kiss me?”

Lu Jue’s long and straight lashes fluttered madly. He was very good with numbers, so he knew exactly how many times he had kissed Zhizhi. “Five times.”

Ning Zhi couldn't help but chuckle.

She knew that Lu Jue didn’t lie. The 50 little suns were the proof.

This man was so simple and honest that he was cute.

She noticed that she was falling for Lu Jue more and more. What was she to do?

When Ning Zhi went downstairs with Lu Jue, she saw that Old Mr. Ning was already sitting inside the living room.

“Morning, Grandpa.” Ning Zhi greeted him with a sweet smile.

She peeked at Lu Jue, hinting to him to greet Grandpa.

Lu Jue glanced over at Old Mr. Ning quickly. His eyes lowered, and he repeated what Ning Zhi had said, “Morning, Grandpa.”

Old Mr. Ning nodded. “Come. Breakfast is ready.”

Ning Zhi brought Lu Jue over and sat down on the redwood chair.

Old Mr. Ning looked over at Lu Jue who had his head lowered and harrumphed. He had the butler check on the two early, and the butler noticed that Lu Jue was not inside the guest bedroom.

The bed was made in the bedroom without any wrinkles in it. It was obvious that Lu Jue did not stay in the bedroom last night.

Meaning, Lu Jue spent the night with Ning Zhi.

Old Mr. Ning had thought that Lu Jue was a little fool who knew nothing. Lo and behold, he was a little fox, one who knew how to climb onto a bed at night.

“How did you sleep last night, Grandpa?”

Hearing his granddaughter asking about him, a smile appeared on his face that was covered in wrinkles. “Not bad.”

The butler came over now and reported to Old Mr. Ning, “Third Old Madam is here.”

Ning Zhi noticed that the smile disappeared from Old Mr. Ning’s face instantly. “What is she here for?”

He had just finished talking when a wealthy-looking old lady walked inside. Her pace was brisk. It was obvious that she was in good health.

“Big Brother, please have them release Dai Hai,” said the old lady before she had even gotten close to them.

“Big Brother, there must have been some misunderstanding. Dai Hai didn’t do anything.” The cops went over to their place last night and arrested her son. There was nothing that the old lady could do other than rushing over here to plead with Old Mr. Ning.

Third Old Madam was the wife of Old Mr. Ning’s cousin, and she normally referred to Old Mr. Ning as Big Brother.

“He knew what he had done as would the cops. Stop talking. You are interrupting my breakfast with my granddaughter.” Old Mr. Ning looked very stern, and he was in no mood to be nice.

Hearing “Dai Hai” from the old lady, Ning Zhi quickly figured out what had happened.

So the third branch was the party behind the accident last night?

She had suspected the second branch. They were, after all, the ones who had spread rumors about her. She now recalled how Third Uncle had bumped into her when he was drunk. Ning Zhi narrowed her eyes.

So, when he was drunk last night and asked if she was on her way home, he was checking the timeline and the route?
