When Lu Jingzhi heard this, he looked up at the two of them and asked, “What brother?”
Before Lu Ning could say anything, Lin Ci instantly leaned over to look at Lu
Jingzhi. “He’s the brother of the boy you’re chatting with now.”
Lu Jingzhi looked at Lu Ning. “Isn’t this the brother of the person in second
Lu Ning smiled. “Yes, but this is his brother’s WeChat.”
Lu Jingzhi nodded thoughtfully.
Lin Ci was about to add something when Lu Ning stopped him. “He’s still young, don’t talk nonsense. Here, a gift for you; see if you like it.”
Taking a small box from Lu Ning, Lin Ci opened it; in the small box, a rose-shaped brooch laid there quietly.
Surprised, Lin Ci took it out and immediately ran to the mirror to try it on.
In fact, she did not like roses much, but Sheng Tian was likened by fans to an alluring red rose. As a result, whenever his fans mentioned red roses, they would think of Sheng Tian. It was also symbolic of Sheng Tian, and so all his fans had a few things related to roses.
Lin Ci rarely chased after celebrities, so Lu Ning had never seen her treat any celebrities the same way she treated Sheng Tian.
“Does it look nice?!”
Lin Ci spun towards Lu Ning, and she promptly took a closer look, nodding with a smile. “Yes.”
She pointed at the boxes by the door. “Those are also for you.”
Lin Ci dashed over with a smile. “So many! I love you to death!”
Unsatisfied with just saying it, she leaned over to kiss Lu Ning’s cheek.
Startled, Lu Ning raised her hand to touch her cheek and smiled.
Lu Jingzhi turned around and patted Lu Ning, asking her to come closer. Lu Ning did as she was told and moved closer. Then, the little boy kissed her on the other cheek.
Lu Ning could not help but chuckle as she raised her hand and rubbed his head.
At the Huo family’s old residence in the capital.
Huo Shi was someone who would not visit unless he had something to ask.
When the butler saw him, he realized what was going on.
“Second Master, you’re here. The Old Master is not feeling well today and has already retired for the day.”
Huo Shi looked at him. “Not feeling well? What’s wrong with him?”
“It’s a chronic issue. Second Master, why don’t you stay here tonight and look for Master next morning?
Not caring about this, Huo Shi strode in. “I’ll take a look at him.”
Straight away, he walked through the long corridor towards the Old Master’s courtyard.
Sighing deeply in his heart, the butler hurried after him.
“Second Master, the Old Master is really resting.”
Standing in front of the Old Masters room, Huo Shi looked at the closed door; it was pitch dark inside.
The butler repeated himself from behind.
Huo Shi pretended not to hear him and was about to push the door open when the butler hurriedly stopped him. “Second Master!”
Impatiently, Huo Shi turned to look at him.
The butler tried to persuade him again. “Second Master, the Old Master is really resting.”
Perhaps because of the commotion outside, the Old Master in the room was startled awake.
“Who is it? Come in.’
Huo Shi was immediately overjoyed when he heard that. He pushed the door open and entered.
The butler sighed and followed him in.
After Huo Shi entered, he went straight to the Old Master’s bed. “Dad, you’re awake. Did I wake you up?
As she spoke, he half-knelt by the bed and looked at the Old Master.
The Old Master glanced at him and propped himself up to remember. Huo Shi quickly stood and helped him up. “Dad) slow down. I’ll help you.”
Old Master Huo sat down and looked at him. He knew his son’s temperament very well—if it were not for the fact that something had happened, he would not have come to him.
“Don’t just stand there, bring a chair and sit down. If you have something to say, say it.”
The butler poured a gla.s.s of water and brought it to the Old Master..
