Chapter 884 - Thank You, Jinjing


Dinner was finally ready. Grandpa Lu and Long Jinjing sat at the dining table. Shun and Robin were about to leave but the old man stopped them.


"Where are you going, Shunnosuke and Robilyn? I want to know! Come sit down and eat with us." Then he turned to Long Jinjing. "My girl, you don"t mind if they eat together with us, right?"


She shook her head. "I don"t mind at all. Shun, Robin, please join me and Grandpa Lu for dinner."


The two hesitated at first but eventually caved in because it wouldn"t be proper to make their boss" grandfather and girlfriend sound like they were begging the two of them. If their Boss Hao found out, he would surely force them to undergo one of his h.e.l.lish personal training.


With Grandpa Lu"s liveliness, the conversation at the dinner table flowed naturally. Long Jinjing was able to relax at last and even laughed at every single one of Grandpa Lu"s jokes. Even Shun and Robin couldn"t stop themselves from chuckling, although they tried their best to restrain their laughter.


Long Jinjing pushed her questions about what Grandpa Lu said earlier about Lu Zihao"s past girlfriends to the back of her mind. She didn"t want to spoil the cheerful mood at the dinner table. Nevertheless, she still made a mental note to confront Lu Zihao about it in private.


Dinner finally ended. Long Jinjing once again tried clearing the table and was.h.i.+ng the dishes but as usual Shun and Robin stopped her. Grandpa Lu dragged her to the living area to continue their chat instead.


He didn"t ask about her relations.h.i.+p with Lu Zihao at the dining table at all. She knew that Grandpa Lu deliberately avoided the topic to make her more comfortable around him. For that, she was grateful. And indeed, she felt more at ease now.


Right at that moment, she noticed out of the corner of her eye Shun and Robin both straightening their backs. This particular alert stance was very familiar. Her heart started racing and her breathing sped up a little. She didn"t notice that her eyes had began s.h.i.+ning. She automatically glanced at the front hallway"s direction.


Grandpa Lu of course noticed her obvious excitement. "What"s happening? Where are you looking at, my girl? What"s in there?"


"Old man, stop pestering my girlfriend," Lu Zihao"s deep, casual and devilish voice was heard before he even appeared.


Long Jinjing knew that her face was turning red again. At the same time, she felt something warm spread from inside her chest and made her feel a little giddy—in a good way. She pressed her fingers on top of her lips in an effort to stop herself from grinning like a stupid idiot.


A few seconds later, Lu Zihao finally appeared from the front hallway. He was wearing a custom-made tailored business suit which hugged his huge and fit body in all the right places. Long Jinjing became dazed a little and her mouth filled with saliva. She swallowed hard and tried to clear her mind.


"Boss Hao!"


"Welcome back, Boss Hao!"


Both Shun and Robin greeted Lu Zihao in respectful and subservient tones. He nodded at them and must"ve performed some kind of secret signal because the two bowed before excusing themselves and leaving the penthouse.


"Haohao, my boy!" Grandpa Lu"s voice boomed louder than usual. "You finally returned! Call me Grandpa, not Old Man! How many times do I have to tell you?! And who"s pestering who? I want to know!"


Long Jinjing managed to recover some of her wits. "I…uhm, Grandpa Lu wasn"t p-pestering me…."


"See?"


Lu Zihao"s long legs allowed him to reach the living area very quickly. He went directly to Long Jinjing and wrapped his arm around her waist before kissing her on the lips right in front of Grandpa Lu.


"Ni—Zi…Zihao!" Too embarra.s.sed to look at Grandpa Lu"s reaction, she pressed her face against Lu Zihao"s chest after the kiss ended.


"Bahahaha! Atta boy! Shameless just like your beloved grandpa!" Grandpa Lu"s boisterous laughter echoed throughout the huge penthouse. Then in a much gentler voice, he said, "Jinjing, my girl. No need to be so embarra.s.sed by such a simple kiss. This old man had seen more risqué public displays of affection from your Little Sister Xiulan and Brother-in-law Liwei."


Lu Zihao immediately scowled. He couldn"t refute it, however, because he also became a recipient of such unwelcome PDA from his sister and her man many times before.


She slowly looked at the grandfather and grandson. Although she still felt shy, it wasn"t polite to continue hiding her face in front of an elder. Then she asked Lu Zihao, "Have you eaten dinner yet?"


"No."


"Would you like me to heat up food for you?"


"Yeah."


Grandpa Lu smacked Lu Zihao"s shoulder, causing Long Jinjing to become worried due to the loud sound. However, Lu Zihao didn"t react at all and looked like it was nothing to him. She was sure that someone like Lu Zihao could"ve avoided such an obvious smack but he chose to allow his grandfather to hit him instead.


"What "yeah"? Say "thank you" to your girlfriend, you dunderhead! Where did the manners that this old man taught you since childhood go, huh? I want to know!"


"Grandpa Lu, it"s okay, really," Long Jinjing tried to interject. "I don"t mind."


"No, it"s not!" Grandpa Lu continued to glare at his grandson. "And you should mind, my girl!"


Lu Zihao sighed before turning to Long Jinjing with one of his devilish smiles. "Thank you, Jinjing."


She literally felt the ultra-fast descent of her IQ to amoeba level. He thanked her! And it felt so good! Oh, what to do? Her heart was beating so fast and loud inside her chest that she wondered if they could hear it.


"How about you heat up dinner for me now?" he said. "I"ll talk to my grandfather first."


She nodded like a stupid idiot and marched like a mindless robot to the kitchen without saying anything.


When she left, Grandpa Lu was still glaring. He demanded, "When were you planning on introducing Jinjing as your girlfriend to your beloved grandpa? Tell me, I want to know!"
