After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him Chapter 24 - 24 What do I need to do?
Chapter 24: Chapter 24 What do I need to do?
Cao i nodded, “That makes sense, I’ll call Lu Zhaozhao right now and ask her to co back tomorrow.”
“Mhm.”
…
Upon receiving the call from Cao i, Lu Zhaozhao was sowhat surprised.
After all, in her last life, they had stayed abroad for an entire month before returning to the country.
She didn’t expect to return so much earlier this ti, probably because they knew she had married Song Sinian, so they rushed back without stopping.
From Cao i’s tone, she didn’t detect anything unusual, but their insistence on her returning tomorrow indeed made her uncomfortable.
“What are you thinking about?” Suddenly, a figure erged from the bathroom, his tall silhouette blocking the light in front of her.
His wet hair continued to drip water droplets, and as he shook the ends of his hair with his large hand, a droplet landed precisely on Lu Zhaozhao’s cheek.
“Uh… Lu…” She almost blurted out “Mr. and Mrs. Lu.”
But rembering that they hadn’t cut ties with her yet, Lu Zhaozhao changed her words, “My parents want to co ho tomorrow for a talk.”
“Going back to the Lu Family?” Song Sinian’s gaze darkened, looking at Lu Zhaozhao sitting on the bed, hugging her knees, he sat down beside her.
The mattress dipped toward Song Sinian, and as Lu Zhaozhao hugged her knees, she leaned off-balance directly onto his arm.
Song Sinian turned his head to look at her and instinctively stretched his arm to scoop her onto his lap, supporting her lower back with his arm, “This is more comfortable than just now.”
“Uh… yeah, it is quite comfortable.”
Lu Zhaozhao offered an awkward but polite smile, completely at a loss on how to explain that she had rely lost her balance accidentally.
But since she was already sitting… she decided not to explain.
Besides, Doctor Tian had told her before that people with emotional barriers needed appropriate physical contact.
Right, appropriate.
She looked up at Song Sinian’s wet hair and reached out to gently fuss with his locks, flinging droplets again onto her cheek.
Song Sinian caught her mischievous wrist, not forgetting the main issue, “You just said you were going back to the Lu Family, do you need to accompany you?”
Lu Zhaozhao’s hand paused, her gaze eting Song Sinian’s dark eyes, his deep expression revealing no emotions, yet it made her feel extraordinarily at ease.
She chuckled lightly, “I can go by myself.”
Song Sinian didn’t respond, but his slightly lowered eyelids seed sowhat unhappy.
Lu Zhaozhao hesitated for a mont then tentatively added, “However, I do need your help with sothing…”
Song Sinian’s eyes suddenly widened, “What do you need to do?”
Though it was only a subtle change in expression, Lu Zhaozhao caught it successfully.
It seed he really cared about her.
They had only t not long ago, yet he was so gentle with her—apparently, beneath Song Sinian’s aloof handso face hid a warm and kind heart…
Lu Zhaozhao tilted her head slightly and deliberately leaned against his chest, “I hope you won’t help the Lu Family, don’t give them orders, don’t give them opportunities, and certainly don’t invest in them.”
In her last life, Mr. and Mrs. Lu had sold her to Song Sinian, reaping many benefits, but then they turned around to pave the way for their biological daughter.
Even going as far as doing that…
Lu Zhaozhao shuddered uncontrollably at the thought of what had happened in her previous life.
Song Sinian gently patted Lu Zhaozhao and pulled a blanket from the bed to wrap her up before slowly speaking, “Are you worried about other people gossiping?”
The Lu Family had arranged for Lu Zhaozhao to et him for a reason, and he was well aware of their intentions.
Lu Zhaozhao pursed her lips and simply buried her head in Song Sinian’s embrace, her voice muffled, “If I say I hate the Lu Family and don’t want you to help them, would you believe ?”
“I believe you.”
Song Sinian didn’t hesitate for even a fraction of a second.
Previously, Zhao Xi had investigated Lu Zhaozhao’s past with the Lu Family, and he had thought that she, being under the control of Mr. and Mrs. Lu for many years, would be more biased towards the Lu Family.
But she trusted him more.
Song Sinian’s large hand was placed on her little feet that were exposed outside the blanket, the cold sensation in his palm made his brows involuntarily furrow.
He wrapped her up in his embrace again.
“Take the bodyguard with you when you go back to the Lu Family tomorrow. If the Lu Family has any objections, just bla it on .”
His eyes and brows didn’t seem to change much, yet sohow made Lu Zhaozhao feel much warr.
“Okay, I understand.” Lu Zhaozhao nodded, then once again snuggled contentedly in his embrace.
With Song Sinian’s support, she felt that even if she were asked to battle mutant monsters now, she would arrogantly demand to fight ten of them!
The next morning, Lu Zhaozhao went straight back to the Lu Family.
Not just the bodyguard, but also a car full of high-end gifts accompanied her as she returned.
However, the mood of Lu Dagui and Cao i was far from pleasant.
They had originally wanted Lu Zhaozhao to make contact with Song Sinian first and then find an opportune mont to discuss the contract with the Song Family.
After all, Song Sinian had a notorious reputation, and amongst those willing to curry favor with the Song Family, their daughter was definitely the best option.
But they hadn’t expected Lu Zhaozhao to move so quickly, winning over Song Sinian after just one eting.
They hadn’t even had a chance to talk about the contract!
Lu Dagui’s brows furrowed as his gaze shifted towards Lu Zhaozhao, who was sitting on the sofa directly opposite them, and then he glanced at the upright bodyguard standing behind her.
“Zhaozhao, do you need to bring a bodyguard back ho with you? What could possibly happen at ho?” Lu Dagui forced a smile, attempting to look like a caring father.
He had heard that Song Sinian was cunning and ruthless in his endeavors. Lu Zhaozhao bringing a bodyguard ho must also be his doing, right?
Lu Zhaozhao let out a light laugh, feigning innocence as she said, “Mr. Song thinks that since we haven’t been married long, he wants to protect well, so he insists I bring a bodyguard with wherever I go. You think Mr. Song is a considerate person too, right?”
“…”
Considerate my ass!
This was nothing but surveillance!
Lu Dagui almost cursed out loud on the spot, only a fool like Lu Zhaozhao would fail to see Song Sinian’s real intentions!
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt an intense headache coming on.
With Lu Zhaozhao being so foolish, if Song Sinian lost interest, his plan would collapse, and he had to seize the current opportunity!
But with the bodyguard present, all he could do was continue to feign the role of a loving father, “Zhaozhao, how about you let this bodyguard gentleman wait in the car first, and have him follow you when you go back later?”
If the bodyguard wasn’t sent away now, how could he talk to Lu Zhaozhao about the contract?
If she really had Song Sinian as smitten as Xiao Jinglan said, then perhaps all she needed to do was to whisper in his ear, and signing the contract with the Song Family would be a piece of cake!
With these thoughts in mind, Lu Dagui’s smile beca even more radiant…
