Chapter 117: Chapter 117 My Awards, Half to the Family
Lu Zhaozhao’s watery eyes slowly lifted to meet Sinian’s.
Unexpectedly, he actually averted his gaze.
Hmm, there’s a problem, a big problem.
Lu Zhaozhao’s eyes narrowed slightly, pretending as if nothing had happened, and she nuzzled her head in Sinian’s chest, “Mr. Song, your hand…”
Her little mouth puckered, motioning for Sinian to stretch out his hand.
Sinian obviously hesitated for a moment, but still did as Lu Zhaozhao said and stretched out his hand.
...
The next second, Lu Zhaozhao imitated what Sinian had done earlier, placing her chin in the palm of his hand.
She smiled radiantly with her eyes curving beautifully.
Sinian’s heart trembled slightly as his eyes visibly widened while looking at Lu Zhaozhao’s.
Seeing his stunned expression, the smile in Lu Zhaozhao’s eyes deepened, “Mr. Song, the other hand.”
Sinian subconsciously did as she said.
Just then, both hands cradled her small face.
“Ding ding ding~ your Mrs. Song has bloomed~” Lu Zhaozhao playfully blinked and winked at Sinian.
“…”

Lu Zhaozhao took advantage of Sinian’s delayed reaction, slipping her small hands out of her clothes and around his neck.
“Hum hum hum…”
Zhao Xi very perceptively raised the partition of the car’s back seat.
Lu Zhaozhao really wanted to explain, but with the situation heightened to this point, she guessed she couldn’t control what happened next.
Sinian looked down at Lu Zhaozhao in his arms, and actually, when she said, “your Mrs. Song,” the stifling feeling in his chest had dissipated quite a bit.
Yes, she was now his.
His wife alone.
Sinian suddenly felt fortunate that Lu Zhaozhao had taken him to register their marriage on the very first day they met.
If she hadn’t taken the initiative back then, and now with the love and attention from the Xia Family, he might not have been able to have her at all.
This fear made his emotions exceptionally sensitive; even with Lu Zhaozhao in front of him, he felt like he could lose her at any moment.
Sinian took a deep breath and reached around her waist, pulling Lu Zhaozhao tightly into his embrace.
She was already petite, and now, held tightly in Sinian’s arms, she was almost completely engulfed by him.
Her damp, rain-soaked clothes rubbed against his shirt, also dampening it with moisture.
Sinian could even clearly feel her slightly cool body temperature.
“Congratulations on winning first place.”
In the quiet car, Sinian’s deep voice finally sounded.
Although Lu Zhaozhao couldn’t see Sinian’s face, hearing his congratulations unexpectedly filled her with joy.
Her little head rubbed against his neck, and she said in a soft, sweet voice, “My prize, half for my family.”
“…”
Sinian remained silent, but Lu Zhaozhao clearly felt his body relax in response.
From the moment she had said those words, there had been a subtle shift in Sinian, and she had tentatively pushed in that direction—it had indeed worked.
Sinian had previously shown clear signs of separation anxiety, so she had made an educated guess.
Doctor Tian had said that appropriate physical contact could alleviate this condition, so her task now was to stick close to Sinian!
“Mr. Song, I’m a bit sleepy, could you hold me while I sleep for a while?” Her delicate voice resonated in Song Sinian’s ears.
Song Sinian slowly let go of Lu Zhaozhao, his suspicious eyebrows slightly raised. Before he could think much about it, the person in his arms began acting coquettishly, “Could we, could we please~”
“Okay, okay, okay.”
Song Sinian simply couldn’t refuse Lu Zhaozhao, let alone resist her coquettish behavior.
He lowered his head, kissed her forehead, and sighed somewhat helplessly, “Go to sleep, I’ll hold you until we get home.”
“Mhm!”
“…”
Actually, Lu Zhaozhao wasn’t sleepy at all; she just wanted an excuse to linger in Song Sinian’s arms.
But once she closed her eyes in his embrace, the comfortably warm temperature, combined with the gentle swaying of the car, made her genuinely fall asleep while pretending…
Meanwhile, Xia Wenjin who had left the stage saw her “slightly ruined” makeup in the restroom.
“Ah!!!—”
Screams erupted from the restroom, clearly terrifying the people who had just entered.
Xia Wenjin looked at the nearly fully blackened face in the mirror and almost split apart right there.
Was she really looking like this in front of the cameras just now?!
Xia Wenjin hurriedly washed her face with water, but the foundation along her hairline and the setting spray on her face had mingled, making it impossible to wash off with just water.
At this point, Xia Wenjin completely broke down, rushing into a restroom stall and starting to sob uncontrollably.
“Bzzz bzzz…”
Suddenly, Xia Wenjin’s phone vibrated.
She took it out from her pocket and saw Cao Mei’s number.
She had just answered the call but couldn’t utter a word because she had cried too hard.
“Jin, where are you now? Mom will come to pick you up!”
Cao Mei’s clearly worried tone on the other end made Xia Wenjin cry even harder.
Her plaintive, piercing cry came through the phone, “Wuu wuu wuu… Mom, I’m in the restroom on the third floor of Teaching Block A at school, wuu wuu wuu…”
Cao Mei, frowning even more deeply upon hearing her cries, said, “Jin, don’t panic, the driver will be there soon, tidy yourself up a bit, and the driver will come inside to pick you up.”
“Wuu wuu wuu…”
“…”
Finally hearing a response from the other end of the phone, Cao Mei slowly hung up, but her face was still filled with worry for Xia Wenjin.
“Mrs. Lu shouldn’t worry too much, Jin is still just a child, it’s normal for her to have limited emotional resilience,” Xiao Jinglan said with a light laugh as she sat directly across from Cao Mei.
She had rushed to the Lu Family as soon as she saw the trending online posts about Lu Zhaozhao and Xia Wenjin.
She hadn’t expected the online situation to escalate so much, but it provided her with a very good opportunity.
Cao Mei’s face, looking very upset, glared at Xiao Jinglan and coldly said, “If you’re here to make fun of us, you better leave.”
Although they were technically in a cooperative relationship now, Cao Mei wasn’t in the mood to bicker with Xiao Jinglan over Xia Wenjin’s issue.
If Xia Wenjin hadn’t insisted on marrying Song Sinian before, Cao Mei wouldn’t have wanted to deal with Xiao Jinglan too much.
This woman was too cunning, always scheming, and her visiting the Lu Family was definitely plotting something now.
Xiao Jinglan wasn’t annoyed, only chuckled lightly watching Cao Mei and responded, “Mrs. Lu, don’t be upset. You’re too involved to see clearly. If you think about it, this incident might not be entirely bad for Jin.”
Cao Mei scoffed, “Not entirely bad? What would it take to actually be bad?”
“I don’t mean to mock Jin, I just think this could potentially be a good opportunity for her, depending on how she handles it…”
