Chapter 108 - Everything will return when she get the halo back. (4)

When Mother Lu found out that Ning Zhi would be going with Lu Jue to a gathering with his former high school classmates, she wasn’t worried at all as the location would be the Huo family’s resort. In fact, she was happy about it.

“Are you all packed? Are you missing anything? I can send someone to get them for you.”

Mother Lu mumbled, “The weather seems to be nice for the next couple of days. You guys have fun. I will have the chauffeur drop you off. Call home immediately if anything happens.

Mother Lu went on to say, “Take the two bodyguards with you. They won’t get in your way. Just have them go with the chauffeur.”

Ning Zhi agreed to everything patiently.

Watching Ning Zhi took off with Lu Jue and how the two walked side by side next to each other, the smile on Mother Lu thickened.

Lin Tiantian, next to her, was so jealous that her heart both ached and felt bitter. She had married into the Lu family 6 months before Ning Zhi but Mother Lu never cared as much about her.

She played favoritism.

Would Mother Lu change her tune toward Ning Zhi if Ning Zhi went back to being mean to Lu Jue?

Lin Tiantian was deep in thought.

“Tiantian, what had been happening to your face lately?” Now that there was nobody else around, Mother Lu finally asked Lin Tiantian about it. She didn’t want to hurt her ego.

Lin Tiantian was taken aback a little then, forcing a smile on herself, she said, “I used some cosmetics that didn’t jive well with my skin and had an allergic reaction. It will recover after a while.”

She insisted that her face had an allergic reaction. No matter what others thought, they could only speculate. Nobody would know that there was such thing as halos in this world.

As long as she could rob the halo back, her face and her skin tone would recover.

The Huo’s resort was located in City D, the next town over.

Ning Zhi was dozing off in the car. She had gotten up very early that morning and she was sleepy now.

Leaning on the seat in the car, she felt languid and lethargic. She didn’t want to move at all.

Contrarily, Lu Jue was sitting there properly with his back straight. He was rigid and solemn.

Ning Zhi lowered her head and looked at those two long legs that almost needed to find a place to put them. She saw the new socks that she had bought Lu Jue, the red pair with puppy prints, showing from below his pants.

He had secretly put the new socks on.

And, with no expressions on his face, Lu Jue looked cool. His image did not jive with his cute and colorful socks.

Ning Zhi couldn't help but chuckled.

Lu Jue turned and looked at her blankly.

Lu Jue had made marked improvement. He would now react to Ning Zhi’s laughter. Unlike in the past, where she would talk to him for a long time before he would give a response.

Ning Zhi’s eyes curved. “How are you so cute?”

Lu Jue looked quietly at her.

“I’m getting sleepy. Let me lean on you.” Having said that, Ning Zhi put her head on Lu Jue’s shoulder, giving Lu Jue, the tool, no chance to object.

Lu Jue’s shoulder was broad and strong. The solid feeling of it was very different than Ning Zhi’s own shoulder.

Ning Zhi squeezed the muscle on Lu Jue’s arm and said, “You are sitting up too high. This is not comfortable.”

Lu Jue blinked and bent down a little.

Ning Zhi adjusted her posture and closed her eyes comfortably.

Lu Jue dared not move and maintained the same posture the entire way.

The resort was a property under the Huo family. The Huo family had hotels all over the country and they were very well-known.

Huo Xiaoyue knew that her high school classmates were well aware of that and, as such, generously offered to pay for all expenses, – food, room and board – for this gathering.

The classmates were trickling in and Huo Xiaoyue had been there a while ago. She had a private room arranged and lunch was being set up.

Many went up to her, “Xiaoyue, we hadn’t seen each other since the college entrance examination. You are getting prettier.”

“Will you be staying here long term this time or are you going to study abroad some more?”

“Xiaoyue, I don’t think I will ever be able to stay at this hotel if it wasn’t for you.”
