Song Ci went to help Lu Suo shower after she was done with Song Yujin.
Lu Suo grumbled because they did not get to shower together.
Song Ci had to coax him for a long time.
“Don’t you want to spend some private time with me?”
Upon hearing that, Lu Suo stopped whining. He nodded obediently and replied, “I do.”
Then, he moved closer to Song Ci, getting water all over her.
“You little rascal!”
Song Ci tapped Lu Suo’s forehead.
Lu Suo hugged her and acted coquettishly.
Song Ci’s pajamas were completely wet. She went back to her room and changed.
Lu Gan raised his eyebrows.
“Are you trying to seduce me?”
Song Ci leaned closer to Lu Gan’s ear.
“In your dreams! Your son made my clothes wet.”
Lu Gan laughed.
“You should give him a taste of his own medicine.”
“He’s just a child! How can you say something so cruel?”
Lu Gan pulled Song Ci closer to his lips and said seductively, “Do you want to wet his father’s clothes as compensation?”
Song Ci was amused.
Lu Gan continued, “Do you want to help me shower too?”
‘Did I really think he was innocent?’
Lu Gan winked at Song Ci flirtatiously. The latter was tempted.
“Sure. I’m not afraid of you!”
Despite saying that, what happened in the bathroom was the complete opposite. The sound of soft crying could be heard and there were also intermittent gasps.
Lu Gan hugged and kissed Song Ci. It looked like she was enjoying his affections.
After showering, they returned to bed, their bodies intertwined.
…
Song Ci thought of the message that Song Yujin was trying to convey.
‘Lu Gan suspects that Lu Heng’s death had something to do with Lu Hongyong. But why would Lu Hongyong do such a thing? Lu Heng was his biological son and the most suitable person to inherit their family business. Moreover, when Lu Hongyong mentioned Lu Heng during our visit, he seemed genuinely sad.’
Song Ci could not guess the truth.
‘But how did Yujin and Little Suo find out about their estranged relationship? Did something happen?’
Lu Gan helped Song Ci to dry her hair with a hairdryer. He looked at her dazed expression and asked, “What’s on your mind?”
Song Ci turned to look at him. She did not know what to say and felt a little uncomfortable.
Lu Gan clearly cared about his father even though they always quarreled. Otherwise, he would not show such a pained expression whenever they met.
‘It’ll be too cruel to tell him the truth but if I don’t, he might be in danger.’
Based on the original plot, Lu Gan was supposed to die this year. Did it happen because he was not on guard around Lu Hongyong?
Finally, Song Ci made up her mind.
‘It’s cruel, but I need to ensure his survival. Everything will be pointless if he dies!’
Song Ci said softly, “There’s something I have to tell you. Don’t be upset, okay?”
Lu Gan was puzzled.
“What is it?”
Song Ci looked into Lu Gan’s eyes and said in a gentle tone, “Yujin was trying to give you a hint. You’re the Ugly Duckling and your father is Mother Duck. Do you understand what I’m trying to say?”
Lu Gan was stunned.
Song Ci leaned forward and hugged him tightly.
“The children must have found out about something. Lu Suo forbade Yujin from telling you the truth because he was worried that you’ll be upset. On the other hand, Yujin was worried that you’ll be in danger if you’re kept in the dark.”
Song Ci continued, “I know Yujin better than anyone else. He would never lose his books.”
