Chapter 22 - Ning Zhi was stunned when she saw the little boy in the picture. (4)

“Ah, you two are back. C’mon over and join us,” said Mother Lu happily when she saw Ning Zhi home. “Xiao Jue, your dad and your big brother are back. Come say hi.”

Father Lu and Lu Shenyuan had been developing their business overseas before now and had just flown back today.

Father Lu didn’t say anything when he saw the clothes that Lu Jue was wearing but he couldn't help but looked disappointed. “You two went out today?”

Ning Zhi, holding onto Lu Jue’s hand, walked over and sat down on the couch. “Yes, I took Lu Jue out today.”

Father Lu was a bit surprised. His younger son hasn’t left the house in over 6 months.

Mother Lu saw the servants bringing in bags after bags of clothes and asked, “You two bought all these?”

“Yes, all clothes for myself and Lu Jue. Mom, I discovered today that Lu Jue’s favorite isn’t red colored clothing but floral ones.”

Of course Mother Lu was well aware of her son’s preference. As much as she loved her son, she still couldn’t bring herself to buy him the floral shirts. Smiling, Mother Lu sounded much more affectionate toward Ning Zhi now. “He loves floral-pattern clothing, ever since he was a child. Don’t let him pick out his own next time.”

Ever since he was a child?

Ning Zhi took a look over at Lu Jue in his floral shirt. She could imagine how he looked as a child in his floral shirt. Alabaster, tender, with his baby fat. He must have been a cute little boy.

Sitting kitty corner to him, a deep and board male voice from Lu Shenyuan sounded very concerned, “Was Xiao Jue fine when he was out today?”

Ning Zhi, “Yeah, he was fine.”

It was mentioned in the novel that the male lead cared a lot about the status of hi brother’s illness.

Lu Shenyuan told Mother Lu, “I ran into a very renowned psychiatrist when I was overseas. I have already arranged for him to come as soon as possible to try and treat Xiao Jue.”

Mother Lu nodded. Her younger son seemed to have been getting worse as of late and she had been very worried. Lu Shenyuan being able to secured a doctor made her feel better.

Lu Jue’s head remained lowered the entire time.

Ning Zhi turned and she could see Lu Jue’s long lashes fluttering.

She reached out for this hand stealthily and devilishly scratched his palm with the tip of her finger. Truth was, she was okay with him staying inside his own shell. She could always sneak inside of it.

Ning Zhi went over to Mother Lu’s room after dinner.

“Are you looking for me, Mom?” Ning Zhi had noticed that Father and Mother Lu’s room was a little smaller than Lu Jue’s.

It looked like Lu Jue had the best room in the house.

“Come. Sit next to me.” Mother Lu looked very gentle under the light.

Ning Zhi docilely went over and sat down. She wondered what Mother Lu wanted to talk to her about.

After a long while, Mother Lu finally started, “Are you sharing a bed with Xiao Jue?”

Mother Lu had always known that Ning Zhi had been sleeping on the couch instead of in the same bed as Lu Jue. She had never talked about it with Ning Zhi before but that didn’t mean she was happy about it. Today, however, when the servants went to clean up the room when Lu Jue was out, they noticed that Ning Zhi’s pillow and blanket were on the bed. Apparently, the two of them had been sharing a bed.

Mother Lu had mixed feelings after she had found that out from the servants. She was pleasantly surprised. Did that mean Ning Zhi was finally beginning to accept Lu Jue?

That she just might have a chance to have little grandsons or granddaughters?

Mother Lu wasn’t one to hide things within herself; as such, she asked Ning Zhi point blank.

Ning Zhi didn’t think that Mother Lu would ask about this. She was Lu Jue’s wife. It was only normal that the of them share the same bed. Besides, no man could be safer than Lu Jue in this world. She nodded and said, “Yes, I am sharing a bed with Lu Jue.”

Mother Lu looked happy after she heard that. She didn’t say much but she removed her jade bracelet from herself and wanted to put it onto Ning Zhi.

“Mom, I can’t take this from you.” Ning Zhi had collected rare jewelries in the past and could tell how precious this bracelet was. The best of emperor green. Not everyone could get one even when they could afford one.

“Oh, put it on. It will go to you sooner or later anyway.” Mother Lu then said to Ning Zhi, “You just take good care of Xiao Jue.”

Ning Zhi had fallen instantly in love with the warm feel from the jade. Not being able to turn it down, she accepted the gift from Mother Lu. She was a sweet talker. “Don’t worry, Mom. I promise I will take good care of Lu Jue.”

‘She chatted with Mother Lu for a while longer and, when she stood up and was about to take off, she noticed the photo on the wall.

She saw in the middle was the super cute little Lu Jue in red being carried by Mother Lu. He was pouting and looked like he didn’t want to be there. Father Lu stood next to Mother Lu and there was a little boy on the other side of him.

Ning Zhi was stunned when she saw the little boy in the picture.
