Chapter 248 - He had spent all day thinking about her. (3)
Edited by: Lulu

When she got to the classroom, Ning Zhi picked a spot in the back as usual. She had always been very lowkey.

Nevertheless, now that Ning Zhi had taken back all of her halo, Ning Zhi was stunning, especially after regaining the final 2% during the banquet. She wasn’t only beautiful, but  her voice could also make one’s ears tingle.

Even Lu Jue liked her whispering into his ear.

Even if Ning Zhi wanted to be lowkey, that was proven very difficult. The second she walked inside the classroom, she attracted a lot of attention.

That was when their class president walked over to Ning Zhi with a notebook in her hand.

“Is something the matter?” asked Ning Zhi.

Looking at Ning Zhi’s beautiful face at a close distance, Zhou Qing was a little excited and a little shy. “Ning Zhi, the school anniversary is coming soon, and there’s only one program remaining for our class – Cinderella with reversed gender. You will need to pick a role.”

“I must go on stage?” asked Ning Zhi.

“Everyone in class must participate. Alternatively, you can prepare for some sort of individual performance as well.” This would be the 50th anniversary of the school, so it would be a bigger event than usual. This was why each class needed to submit three programs.

Ning Zhi couldn’t turn her down, so she had no choice but to ask, “Which are the roles that I can choose from?”

The class president pushed the notebook over to her and said, “You can pick any of the ones that were not yet marked off.”

Ning Zhi glanced over at it casually and said, “This one will be fine.”

When Zhou Qing looked at the role that Ning Zhi pointed at, she was a little surprised. “Are you sure about that?”

“Mmm.” Ning Zhi looked at the memo that said the character only had 5 lines and nodded. “I’m sure.”

Zhou Qing looked at Ning Zhi’s very delicate face and felt regretful. “Alright, you can be Cinderella’s evil stepsister then.”

Ning Zhi acknowledged her.

After class, Ning Zhireceived texts from Lu Jue.

Big Treasure Juejue: ……

Zhizhi: What are you trying to say? How’s work coming along?

Big Treasure Juejue: It’s fine.

Zhizhi: So you missed me then?

Big Treasure Juejue: Mmm.

Zhizhi: I’ll come to pick you up from work after school then?

Big Treasure Juejue: Mmm.

Zhizhi: Don’t be so cold. You need to use emojis.

Big Treasure Juejue: [Emoji: Sun]

Ning Zhi couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw the little sun. So he knew that she liked little suns, huh?

Ning Zhi had the chauffeur take her to the office after school.

When the car pulled up in front of the office building, she called Lu Jue and let him know that she had arrived. “Do you want to come down, or should I go upstairs to get you?”

“I’ll come down.”

The rest of the team glanced over at Lu Jue nosily. When they saw the slight smile on his usually cold, blank face, they all gasped in surprise.

From what they could recall, Lu Jue was cold and inflexible. He rarely smiled.

Someone couldn't help but nudge Wei Xing. “Who’s Young Master Lu talking to?”

Wei Xing adjusted his glasses and said, “I think it’s Miss Ning, his wife.”

What?

Lu Jue was married?

With the exception of their boss, all the other ones on the team were single. And now they were told that Lu Jue had gotten married?

In the past, they had thought that with Lu Jue’s personality and his illness, he would continue to be single even after everyone on the team had gotten married.

Now, everyone just felt that they had been face slapped. Whatever happened to their promises of remaining single? They were the only ones who meant it.

Lu Jue picked up his red backpack and said to Wei Xing, “Zhizhi’s here to pick me up.”

Wei Xing walked up to him quickly. “Young Master Lu, I’ll go downstairs with you.”

Looking at Lu Jue’s back, the others were both jealous and envious. The single dogs were tortured by the fact that Lu Jue’s wife was here to pick him up.

Ning Zhi opened up the car door for Lu Jue when she saw him coming downstairs.

“Thank you so much, Assistant Wei.”

“That’s my job. See you tomorrow, Young Master Lu.” Wei Xing watched on one side and smiled.

Missing Zhizhi, Lu Jue did not respond to Wei Xing. Instead, he dragged Ning Zhi with him and took her back to the car.

“So what did you do today?” Ning Zhi brushed away Lu Jue’s messy fringe in front of his forehead.

She had no idea when the top two buttons on Lu Jue’s shirt were unbuttoned, exposing his very skinny clavicle and his prominent Adam's apple. Those plus his cold and fair skin made him incredibly sexy.

Lu Jue’s eyes, on the other hand, were clean and bright. He was a walking contradiction of both purity and desire. He replied in a low, dull, and sincere voice, “Miss Zhizhi.”

Zhizhi blushed. “I asked what you did today.”

“Missed Zhizhi,” said Lu Jue very sincerely.

He had spent all day thinking about her.
