Lu Ning:
She turned to look at Huo Jinyan, who also turned to look at her.
His presence was indeed quite oppressive.
She did not say anything and just sat there quietly, eating her own food.
Gu Chen handed a portion to Huo Jinyan. “Have some soup. The rest is too spicy, it won’t do for you to eat those now.”
Huo Jinyan nodded and took it.
He turned around and saw Lu Ning picking out the foodstuffs she did not want to eat. Gu Zi brought his own bowl forward.
Before he could say anything, Lu Ning had already shoved everything to his bowl.
Their actions were extremely natural, as though they had done it a thousand times before.
Huo Jinyan frowned slightly.
Gu Zi looked up and met his gaze. He even perked his eyebrows at him provocatively.
Huo Jinyan averted his gaze and silently gazed at his soup.
After eating, Lu Ning leaned back on the sofa and lay on her side.
Gu Zi was clearing the table while Gu Chen went to get a blanket to cover her. He even leaned closer and told her softly, “Sleep if you want, I’ll wake you up when it’s time.”
Lu Ning nodded, and really closed her eyes.
Huo Jinyan watched their every move and could not help but turn to look at Lu Ning.
Her back was facing him, and she was curled up quietly.
Gu Zi suddenly appeared in front of him. “What are you looking at?”
He did not look happy, but he still lowered his voice for fear of disturbing Lu Ning.
Huo Jinyan looked at him without saying anything.
Gu Zi looked at him and rolled his eyes.
“Don’t even think about hitting on my baby, do you hear me!?”
Huo Jinyan looked at him and suddenly smirked.
“What are you laughing at!?”
Huo Jinyan stood up and gently held Lu Ning’s head and adjusted her posture, letting her lie flat on the sofa.
She seemed to be extremely sleepy and had already fallen asleep. She did not notice that someone was touching her at all, nor did she notice the tense atmosphere in the air.
Huo Jinyan looked at Gu Zi. “Nothing.”
Then, he turned around and left, a meaningful smile on his lips.
Gu Zi was incensed.
“What does he mean?! Did he hug our baby just now?! And what are you laughing at?! Aren’t you going to do something?!”
Gu Chen looked at him. “Keep making so much noise, and you’ll probably wake Ning’ning up.”
Gu Zi cast a quick glance at the sofa and immediately shut up.
Gu Chen waved at him. “Come here. I have something to tell you.”
Gu Zi followed Gu Chen to the back.
Lu Ning was woken up by Gu Chen.
After getting up, she drank a gla.s.s of water and walked out.
When she reached the entrance of the school building, she looked up in a daze and saw a familiar person.
Zhao Lingling’s mother.
They had met twice before.
Mrs. Zhao was here to settle the transfer for Zhao Lingling, and there were two people following behind her.
Lu Ning wanted to greet her, but before she could say anything, Mrs. Zhao looked at her and said, “Lu Ning.”
Her tone was not that of a normal greeting at all. Rather, it sounded quite strange.
“A few days ago, I was still wondering why i didn’t see you when I went to the Lù family. Now that I think about it, you’re not even at the Lù family’s house anymore. Why would I see you there?”
Lu Ning stared at her. She probably felt that Lu Ning cared a lot about this matter, so she brought up the Lù family in particular so as to prod at her heart.
Lu Ning smiled at her indifferently. “Auntie, did you really go there?”
She did not.
“You! How dare you talk back to me!”
Lu Ning looked at her and could not help but sneer. “I’m simply talking to you the way you talked to me.”
“You’re becoming so unruly! No wonder the Lù family doesn’t want you!”
Lu Ning’s gaze turned cold. “It doesn’t matter if the Lù family wants me or not;
I’d rather not have a family that would forsake my innocence for their own gain and benefit..
