As soon as she finished speaking she received a WeChat message from Huo Jinyan, telling her not to slack off and to remember to study.
After a glance, Xiaowen twitched her lips. “How unromantic.” Lu Ning chuckled and put her phone away.
After Xiaowen left, she suddenly thought of something.
It can’t be that Huo Jinyan… is interested in me?
This thought appeared for a second before she flat-out rejected it.
I must have been provoked by Xiaowen’s words. That’s impossible!
When Lu Ning got off work, she took Lu Jingzhi home on their white electric scooter.
Shen Yunci had already prepared dinner and was waiting for the two of them.
Lu Qing was not home.
After dinner, each of them went to settle their own things.
Lu Jingzhi was still a little excited about going to the capital tomorrow.
Although he was more mature than others his age, he was still a child and was filled with curiosity for new and unfamiliar places; he had never been to the capital.
After Lu Ning packed her things, she chatted with him. She was afraid that he would be too excited and not be able to sleep well later that night, which would affect his performance in tomorrow’s competition.
Shen Yunci and Lu Zhi also chatted with the two of them. In the end, seemingly exhausted from their conversations, Lu Jingzhi fell asleep on Lu Ning’s lap.
Lu Ning, Lu Zhi, and Shen Yunci continued talking softly, and Lu Jingzhi slept soundly.
Lu Zhi and Shen Yunci introduced Lu Ning to some relatively remote eateries in the capital, and even jotted the places down for her to try if she had the time. They passed her a couple pages of notes, densely packed with scribbles and locations; it was obvious that the two of them were very familiar with the capital.
However, Lu Ning could feel that they were disagreeable with the idea of going to the capital.
For example, the two of them were somewhat taken aback when they first discovered that Lu Jingzhi would be going to the capital for the competition. They did not want to delay Lu Jingzhi’s competition, but were also very reticent about whether they should go to the capital.
Hence, when Lu Ning said that she would accompany Lu Jingzhi, although the two of them were still worried, they did not say anything.
Lu Ning knew that the two of them would not be at ease with only Lu Jingzhi and her going, but they never once broached the idea of accompanying them. Apparently, they really did not want to mention that place.
Lu Ning tacitly understood and did not pry.
She had a feeling that this was not that simple a matter.
After giving her some more advice, Shen Yunci had Lu Ning go to bed and told her to rest well for tomorrow.
Lu Ning carefully carried Lu Jingzhi back to his room, then returned to her room to rest.
The next day, the two of them woke up early. Shen Yunci and Lu Zhi sent the two of them to the airport; they only went home after watching their plane take off.
On the way back, she could not help but mutter.
“Why is our eldest son being so moody? Previously, he’d decided that he would go, but now that they’re going he’s disappeared again. What do you think happened to him recently?”
Lu Zhi smiled at Shen Yunci and could not help but pinch her cheek teasingly. “Can’t you tell? He must’ve argued with Ningning again. Yesterday, he went to fetch Jingzhi, but in the end Jingzhi came back with Ningning. Our eldest son didn’t even come back and stayed out. There must be some friction between the siblings.”
Shen Yunci got angry when she heard this. “This eldest son of ours is really brainless. He must have met An’an in school, otherwise Ningning wouldn’t have quarreled with him since she isn’t the kind to cause trouble.”
Lu Zhi quickly comforted her. “Don’t be angry. Ningning didn’t say anything because she didn’t want us to worry too much about them. She’s smart, and has her own way of handling things, so let’s not worry ourselves about it. Our children can resolve their own problems.
“If they really can’t resolve it, we’ll just kick him out. After all, we cant let our daughter suffer.”
Shen Yunci quickly nodded. ‘Exactly!”
“Anyway, Ningning is finally away from home. I’ll have the finance department come over.”
“Yes..”
