"Sister Tongtong, what’s wrong?"
Lu Sinian waved his little hand in front of her eyes, and she snapped back to reality, showing a smile, "Sister Tongtong is really fine. Your dad didn’t bully me, this... this was just me accidentally bumping into something!"
"Really?" Little Bun’s eyes were sharp and full of disbelief.
"You don’t believe Sister Tongtong?" Her smile was very sincere, and from her complexion, she didn’t look bullied or tormented.
Lu Sinian breathed a slight sigh of relief, "Well... if the Great Demon bullies you, you must tell me! Sister Tongtong, I will definitely protect you!"
He clenched his small fist, looking very righteous. Ji Niandong was amused by his demeanor and reached out to pinch his smooth little face, "Mm, I believe Nian Nian will protect me! Now, Sister Tongtong needs to take a bath and change clothes, can Nian Nian step out for a moment?"
Realizing she wasn’t dressed, Little Bun’s face instantly turned bright red. He nodded slightly and turned to walk a few steps, then suddenly turned back around.
Ji Niandong’s face immediately showed a smile, "What’s up?"
He stood obediently in front of her, somewhat embarrassedly asking, "Sister Tongtong, do I look handsome today?"
Only then did Ji Niandong take a closer look at him. He was wearing a short-sleeved white shirt with plaid short dungarees, a little bow tie tied in front of his chest, his hair neatly combed, and his little shoes were shining.
Recalling how he had just rushed in happily to say happy Qixi, Ji Niandong rolled her eyes and asked, "Is it to celebrate Qixi with that friend called An’an? So handsome!"
"No way! Sister Tongtong, Qixi is Valentine’s Day!" he muttered with a pout, a bit shy, turning around to walk out, "I’m leaving first!"
Ji Niandong watched his little back, the smile on her face froze, and only after the door closed did it completely fade away.
If Nian Nian’s biological mother came back, would Lu Beichen still want her? Would Nian Nian still like her?
Her heart suddenly tightened, feeling terribly uncomfortable!
After a long time, she let out a heavy sigh. Right now, she was Mrs. Lu and Nian Nian’s mother, so she would cherish everything she had now, and when the time came... she would deal with it then!
Suddenly catching sight of the clock on the bedside table, Ji Niandong picked it up and took a look, it was already past ten o’clock?!
Oh heavens! She still had to find Ada to discuss the new script!
Ji Niandong flipped over and quickly got out of bed. As soon as her feet hit the floor, her legs went weak involuntarily, and she sat on the ground, gasping at the cold air.
Supporting herself on the edge of the bed for a while, she slowly got up with effort, limping her way to the bathroom.
Seeing her own reflection in the mirror, she was shocked too, with dense markings in shades of blue, purple, and red... that beast, how was she going to meet people !
Lying in the bathtub, she took a proper bath and carefully picked out a high-necked long dress that covered herself completely, applying concealer around her neck for a long time before she was willing to go out.
"Sister Tongtong, you’re so slow. Mr. Lu has already made lunch, it’s about to be twelve o’clock! I have to go to An’an’s house!" Lu Sinian kept watching the time.
Seeing her come out, Lu Beichen started serving the dishes one by one. His cooking skills were improving day by day, almost as if he took lessons.
Ji Niandong sat down and started wolfing down her food, Lu Beichen shook his head, "Eat slowly, I made so much, enough for the both of you!"
Little Bun was also wolfing down his food, "I promised Aunt An Lin to have lunch with her, but you insisted I finish at home first. Being late is very rude!"
Ji Niandong, sitting beside him, also said, "I made an appointment with Sister Ada to go to YT Entertainment to discuss a new script. I slept until noon, if I don’t go now, I’ll be late!"
Lu Beichen clicked his tongue, "Isn’t today Qixi?"
