90 Did You Follow Me?
When Lu Ning got off the helicopter, she checked the time; it was already thirty minutes past five in the morning.
It was already six o’clock when Song Wenqi sent her home. Lu Ning climbed back in through the window.
As Song Wenqi left, his car drove past Lu Zhi, who was just returning from buying breakfast.
Lu Ning did not have time to rest at all; she immediately went to wash up to make herself look more energetic.
When she was done washing up, Lu Zhi had returned, knocking on her door.
“Ning’ning, are you up? Time for breakfast.”
Lu Ning responded in an instant.
When she left her room, Lu Jingzhi and Lu Qing also came out from their rooms.
After the four of them had breakfast, Lu Zhi went to take care of Shen Yunci.
Lu Qing was in charge of sending Lu Jingzhi off, so Lu Ning rode her scooter by herself and left for school.
Lu Qing fell into a daze, watching Lu Ning ride away on her electric scooter.
As a young lady, she sure adapted quickly.
He could not help but reminisce about that time when he pressured Lù Yue’an to learn how to ride a scooter; however, she had little aptitude for it and was unable to pick it up no matter what. He did not press her about it thereafter, and still doted on her enough to send her to class every day.
In truth, he could also give Lu Ning a lift, but she did not seem to be the sort who would ask for help…
Lu Jingzhi looked up at his brother.
It was unclear whether it was intentional or not, but he muttered, “Sister is so pitiful.”
Hearing him, Lu Qing tilted his head down towards him. However, he had already turned around to fetch his bag, having no intention to say anything else.
As a matter of fact, Lu Qing had no idea that Lu Jingzhi was currently in primary school; he was still sending him to the kindergarten.
Lu Jingzhi went in, and after Lu Qing drove away he would leave the kindergarten by himself and head to the elementary school. He had zero plans to divulge this to Lu Qing.

When Lu Ning reached the school gate, Gu Chen and Gu Zi caught hold of her before she could park the scooter.
Startled, she looked up at them. “What is it?”
Gu Zi put the scooter away for her, and the two of them dragged her to the infirmary.
“What were you doing last night?”
When they asked her this question, both of them heaved a sigh of relief. After all, she returned safely.
Ninth Brother had actually called early in the morning. He had gone back there late last night to wait; as soon as Lu Ning and the others got off the helicopter, Ninth Brother sent a message.
Anxious and distressed, the few of them did not sleep for the entire night. Unfortunately, they had no other choice but to wait.
When they finally received news of her, the two of them rushed to the school entrance, early in the morning, to wait.
Lu Ning did not have a chance to check her phone when she returned, so she did not know that they were searching for her.
Lu Ning was flustered, but she was not prepared to tell them the truth; after all, she did not want to involve them in this matter. For someone like Song Wenqi… the fewer people who know, the better.
“Nothing much. I was just sleeping at home.”
Gu Zi’s jaw dropped and he blurted out, “How’s that possible?! You clearly…”
Gu Chen pinched him before he could finish.
“Did you follow me?”
Lu Ning instantly caught on.
Gu Chen: “No, we were simply a little worried when you didn’t pick up.”
It was only then that Lu Ning took out her phone; the battery was flat, and the phone had switched off.
Gu Zi promptly took her phone. “I’ll charge it for you. There’s still time before class starts anyway.”
Right away, Lu Ning stood up then reclined against the sofa. “That’s great, I’ll take a nap. Wake me up when it’s time.”
Gu Chen nodded and even placed a blanket over her.
She was truly exhausted. After the long flight and the strain on her eyes and brain, Lu Ning fell fast asleep as soon as she laid down.
