Chapter 249 - Lu Jue, pleading to be liked, was much better than any other boys. (1)
Edited by: Lulu
Lu Jue was candid and cute. Ning Zhi felt that she was falling more and more for him.
Especially when he was looking at her with his pitch-black eyes. Ning Zhi felt that there was a little bunny in her chest that was bouncing around nonstop.
She couldn't help but reach out and pinch him on his cheek. Lu Jue’s skin was cold and fair. Its quality was incredibly good, and it felt nice to the touch. “What about your work?”
Lu Jue let Ning Zhi touch him on his cheek all she wanted. He blinked and then replied, “Worked, but still missed Zhizhi.”
Zhizhi’s heart skipped a beat. Oh boy. How was she supposed to resist this sweet, handsome man?
When they returned to the Lu’s, even though Mother Lu had already listened to Wei Xing catching her up on Lu Jue’s progress in the office today, she still cared about him and wanted to ask her son herself.
“Xiao Jue, did you get used to being in the office today?” Mother Lu wasn’t worried that her son would be bullied. He had an assistant there, after all. She worried more on whether he got used to the environment or was scared of being around the others.
Ning Zhi was still worried that Lu Jue would say something that would embarrass her. But her worries were unfounded because the next second, she heard Lu Jue give a “Mmm” in response to Mother Lu. And then that was it.
Mother Lu was delighted when she received his response.
Lu Shenyuan smiled and started to talk. “It’s a good thing that Little Brother is working in the office. He had gotten so much better compared to how he was in the past. Much like the experts had told us in the past, he is getting better and better.”
Lu Shenyuan had come to the Lu’s today because he had learned that Lu Jue had gone to the office today. He wanted to find out what was going on.
Mother Lu nodded happily. “He will respond back to me when I talk to him now.”
A strange look crossed Lu Shenyuan’s face, but he was still able to maintain a smile on his cold face. “That’s great. You must let me know if you run into any troubles at work, Little Brother. I will help you take care of them right away.”
He went on to say, “I’ll let the others on the team know to look after you.
“Besides, Little Brother had just returned to the office and shouldn’t take on too much work right away. He should take his time on adjusting and familiarizing himself. We shouldn’t rush this.”
Lu Shenyuan asked Mother Lu, “Should I look for someone to take care of Xiao Jue and show him the ropes?”
Ning Zhi narrowed her eyes. Ever since she had seen through Lu Shenyuan, no matter what he said now, she just found them fake. Lu Shenyuan was a wolf under a sheep’s skin. He could be very good at disguising himself, but he could never hide that gloomy look in his eyes.
“That won’t be necessary. Wei Xing, Xiao Jue’s former assistant, is pretty good. I had already talked to him and had him resume the role as Xiao Jue’s assistant. At least Xiao Jue does not resist him.”
“That’s nice that he has an assistant that he is familiar with. That way, Little Brother would not need to take time to adapt to someone new.” Lu Shenyuan looked a lot like a caring older brother. He would talk about Lu Jue with Mother Lu all the time.
Mother Lu nodded repeatedly as Lu Shenyuan talked. Had Ning Zhi not known better, even she would have fallen for Lu Shenyuan’s act as a sincere, good Big Brother who cared a lot about his little brother Lu Jue.
Ning Zhi’s eyes dimmed. The more perfect Lu Shenyuan’s disguise was, the harder it was for her to reveal him. It would be tough to take care of him without real proof that could take him down with one shot.
Ning Zhi suddenly felt that Lu Jue had held onto her hand. His long and slender fingers intertwined with hers tightly, and he was looking at her quietly and blankly.
Ning Zhi smiled. Lu Shenyuan was wicked like an old wolf, while her Lu Jue was simple like an innocent puppy.
She needed to do her best to protect this little puppy, so he wouldn’t be eaten by the big bad wolf.
