The marital contract between Ning Zhi and Lu Jue was negotiated between Ning Zhi’s aunt and Mother Lu. Mother Lu wanted Ning Zhi to marry Lu Jue but also gave her an out. The Lu family would let Ning Zhi go if Ning Zhi still wasn’t into Lu Jue after two years.
Nevertheless, Ning Zhi’s aunt had her own idea. She wanted Ning Zhi to stay and continue their relationship with the Lu family. As such, she did not tell this to Ning Zhi and even had an agreement with Mother Lu to only tell Ning Zhi after two years.
Ning Zhi only found out about it just now when she heard it from Old Mr. Ning.
Lu Jue, sitting next to them, heard Old Mr. Ning bring up matters between himself and Ning Zhi, so he sat up straight and listened to the conversation quietly.
He heard Old Mr. Ning ask Ning Zhi, “With such a contract, it makes things between Lu Jue and you much simpler. Grandpa wants to ask you. Do you want to divorce Lu Jue and get out of the Lu family?”
Lu Jue understood what Old Mr. Ning was saying. Grandpa was asking whether Zhizhi wanted to divorce him.
His pretty cherry-blossom eyes became anxious. He looked over at Ning Zhi next to him, and there was a hint of panic in his low and hoarse voice. “No divorce. No divorce.”
Zhizhi was his. There could be no divorce.
Ning Zhi was taken aback a little. She did not expect Grandpa to ask her such a question.
Turning, she looked into Lu Jue’s pitch-black eyes. She saw fear and panic in his eyes.
“Zhizhi no leave me.” Lu Jue was looking at her longingly.
Ning Zhi chuckled softly, and her eyes were filled with smiles. “Right, no divorce.”
She said firmly to Old Mr. Ning, “Grandpa, Lu Jue and I are a couple. I like him, and I am not going to divorce him. I have no need for that marital contract.”
Old Mr. Ning studied his granddaughter and Lu Jue sharply before he asked slowly, “Are you certain about that?”
Ning Zhi nodded. “I am very certain about the fact that I am fond of Lu Jue.”
Lu Jue protected her with his life. It would be difficult for her to not like him.
She only wanted to treasure such a person now that she had run into one.
Next to her, the panic in Lu Jue’s eyes disappeared and was slowly replaced with light. He looked at Ning Zhi, dazed.
There was joy on his brows and in his eyes. He liked Zhizhi, and Zhizhi liked him too.
Old Mr. Ning was a bit surprised by the certainty in Ning Zhi’s voice.
According to his men that looked into this, he learned that his granddaughter was not a fan of Lu Jue when she first married into the Lu family.
As such, when Old Mr. Ning found out about the marital contract, he had expected that they would be able to take care of the matters between Ning Zhi and Lu Jue quickly and smoothly.
But now, he was told by his granddaughter that she liked Lu Jue. That wasn’t something that he had expected.
Old Mr. Ning looked Lu Jue up and down, and all Lu Jue was doing was looking at Ning Zhi with light in his eyes. He did not know how to hide his feelings. He wore his heart on his sleeve.
Old Mr. Ning, at his age, had encountered his fair share of manipulative and cunning people. This was the very first time that he had met someone as pure and innocent as Lu Jue. Too bad he was ill.
Old Mr. Ning sighed. Now that his granddaughter had her own ideas and had made her own decisions, naturally, he would respect that.
As far as Old Mr. Ning was concerned, his granddaughter’s happiness was more important than anything else.
Old Mr. Ning looked over at Lu Jue one more time and said to him, “Follow me.”
“Grandpa?” Ning Zhi realized that Old Mr. Ning wanted to speak with Lu Jue alone.
Old Mr. Ning gave his granddaughter a doting stare and said irritably, “I only want to talk to him. I won’t do anything to him. Are you worried that Grandpa will bully him?”
