"Alright! Whatever Mrs. Lu wants, it’ll be that way. If the sky falls, I’ll hold it up!" He reached out to pull away the pillow she was using to block him, and effortlessly gathered her beneath him...
Lu Beichen seemed to take on the air of a ruler who no longer attended court. He lay in bed, showing no sign of going to the company. Ji Niandong couldn’t stay asleep and was about to get up from the bed when he pressed her back down, saying, "Stay with me a bit longer!"
"Aren’t you well-rested?" Her voice softly teased his ear.
Lu Beichen rested his head on hers and whispered back, "No, I’m not. Without Mrs. Lu these past few days, I’ve been sleeping alone. It’s been hard to endure!"
Though he was older than her, he acted like a child—was he fussing?
Ji Niandong couldn’t help but roll her eyes inwardly, "Little Uncle, don’t think that whining will work! If you want to keep lying here, then I’ll lie with you, but shouldn’t Little Uncle explain who An’an’s real daughter is?!"
Last time he tricked her into coming home, and ended up sleeping with her!
"Why suddenly bring them up?" Lu Beichen seemed uninterested, "Could it be, you really think An’an is my daughter?"
"Then why did you take An Lin to the Ning Family’s banquet?" Ji Niandong asked sulkily.
Lu Beichen finally released her, moved slightly down, and met her gaze, his hand still on her, "You actually believe those reports?! Nian Nian wouldn’t even take that news seriously!"
Nian Nian indeed didn’t take it seriously! Was she really more petty than a child?
Ji Niandong’s frowning expression immediately caught Lu Beichen’s eye, and he stretched his finger to poke her brow, "Even though Mrs. Lu being jealous makes me happy, this kind of inexplicable jealousy really wrongs me! If An’an were my daughter, would I let her wander outside?"
He said the same last time!
"Moreover..." Lu Beichen added, "In your heart, am I really the kind of person who leaves affection everywhere?"
"Not quite!" Ji Niandong shook her head, "You leave seeds everywhere!"
When Lu Beichen heard the first part, he felt gratified, but after hearing the latter, he almost wanted to squeeze the little woman in his arms to death.
He reached out and pinched her waist harshly, making Ji Niandong cry out tears of pain, "Little Uncle, what are you doing?!"
Her eyes glistened with tears, as she asked accusingly. The most update n0vels are published on NoveI-Fire.ɴet
Lu Beichen replied angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
She interrupted him during an intimate moment, worried about her so he didn’t dare use too much force. However, this pinch turned her fair skin bruised and bruised in an instant—her skin was indeed sensitive, and his heart softened once more!
He sighed and patiently explained, "I have conflicts with the Ning Family and managed to sway the second son Ning Zesheng to work under me! The banquet this time was their anniversary celebration. They look for partners yearly at these events. Though the two families compete, a strong alliance might be better!"
"So?" Ji Niandong was a bit unclear about his meaning.
"The Ning Family is nothing to fear, but not to be underestimated either. My willingness to cooperate this time is giving them face. With An Lin by my side, naturally, they dare not complain about past grievances." Lu Beichen reached out to gently brush her nose, "An Lin and I are just mutually supportive, knowing too much isn’t really beneficial. In any case...this way, no one would doubt that you are Mrs. Lu, isn’t that great?"
As expected, he was thinking of her!
But, why does bringing An Lin have such deterrence?
Since knowing too much isn’t advantageous, let’s follow Little Uncle’s advice! Ji Niandong closed her eyes and snuggled up to him again!
