51: Chapter 51 Lu Youting Seizes a Wife 51: Chapter 51 Lu Youting Seizes a Wife Jian Si and Ji Mingche were in the midst of an animated conversation when they suddenly heard a commotion outside the private room.
“Director Lu, I am really sorry, there has been a mistake made by our staff.
The Li Bai room has already been booked, could you please wait a mont?
I will go and talk to the guests inside to see if they have finished eating.”
“If it’s been booked, we can switch to another room.”
“All the rooms are full!
The guests in the Li Bai room have been here for quite a while, so they should be almost finished.
I’ll go in and check!”
“Alright!”
No sooner had the voice faded than a knock on the door echoed, and before Jian Si could respond, the door was pulled open.
The manager entered, bowing, with an apologetic face: “I’m sorry, there was a mistake at our front desk.
This room was booked last night, and the front desk wasn’t aware and had booked it for you too!
Look, have you finished eating?
If so, could you please vacate the room?
To apologize, we’ll comp your al, and I’ll also give you a $500 cash voucher.”
“How about that?” Jian Si didn’t like putting people out, glanced at the table of dishes: “Alright then!
Since it’s like this, we’ll give up our spot.”
Hearing this, the manager breathed a sigh of relief and thanked them profusely: “Thank you, thank you!
Next ti you co, I’ll give you a 20% discount.”
“No problem!” Jian Si smiled, looking towards Ji Mingche: “Ah Che, since it’s like this, let’s call it a day.
We can et up so other ti if there’s a chance.”
Ji Mingche asked, “Do you have plans for this afternoon?”
“Not really, why?”
Ji Mingche said, “This afternoon, I…”
Before he could finish, a chill rushed in from the door, followed by a familiar figure.
Lu Youting’s features were stern as he walked in with one hand in his pocket, his black suit accentuating his tall figure, his eyes piercing and with an aura that was compelling and arresting.
Jian Si gasped in shock, “How…
how did you get here?”
Lu Yanbai imdiately jumped down from his chair and rushed to Lu Youting’s side, clinging tightly to his leg, excitedly said, “Daddy, you finally ca.
If you didn’t…”
Afraid that he would say too much, Lu Youting interrupted: “How co you are here?”
Lu Yanbai was montarily dazed, then quickly caught on, his eyes turning slyly as he shut his mouth.
The manager on the side imdiately explained: “Last night it was indeed Director Lu who booked this room, our front desk forgot to register it, and the shift changeover wasn’t properly communicated, which led to today’s error.
I’m very sorry for the inconvenience this has caused everyone.”
Jian Si, after understanding the situation, spoke nonchalantly: “No problem!
We’ve finished eating anyway.
You go ahead and tidy up, give the room to them.”
Lu Youting casually glanced at Jian Si: “We know each other, we can share the space.”
Jian Si: “…??”
Ji Mingche: “…?”
Lu Ya and Shen Qing: “…?”
After a brief mont of stunned silence, Jian Si decisively rejected: “No need, we’ve already finished.
The place is yours.”
Lu Youting’s handso face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot: “Xiao Bai likes to be with you, and given his current health condition, it’s not suitable for him to run around.
Join , and after I’ve finished eating, I’ll drive you back to the hospital.”
“No need!” Jian Si flatly refused: “Xiao Bai can stay, you can take him back to the hospital later!
Ah Che and I have so things to do, I’ll go back by myself afterwards.”
Ah——Che——Brother——
That sounded rather cozy!
Lu Youting felt a spark of anger, his face turning green as he signaled Lu Yanbai with a look.
Catching the signal from his father, Lu Yanbai imdiately grabbed Jian Si’s hand: “Mommy, I don’t want to be apart from you!
I want you to stay with !”
Without hesitation, Jian Si said: “Then I’ll take you with .”
Lu Yanbai quickly clutched at his chest, feigning a very pained expression: “Mommy, my heart hurts a bit.
It’s probably not a good idea to travel now.”
Hearing about his heart pain, Jian Si imdiately crouched down in concern to check on him.
“How badly does it hurt?
What kind of pain is it?
Show quickly!”
Ji Mingche saw through his little sche with one glance, standing to the side with a smile but not speaking.
Lu Yanbai’s little face twisted: “It hurts sporadically, but it’s not very painful, just not suitable for travel.
A little rest while sitting down should be fine.”
“I promise, but you have to stay with !
If anything sudden happens, you can handle it in ti.”
His intent was crystal clear.
Jian Si had been too anxious earlier and lost her ability to think, but now that she had snapped back to reality, she couldn’t help but poke his forehead.
“Don’t talk nonsense in the future.”
Lu Yanbai playfully stuck out his tongue.
Jian Si stood up and looked at Ji Mingche with an apologetic expression, “Ah Che, Xiao Bai isn’t feeling well.
I probably won’t have ti to accompany you today!
Let’s make plans for another ti!”
Ji Mingche patted her shoulder, “It’s fine.
Take good care of your child, and we’ll get in touch later.”
Seeing his hand on Jian Si’s shoulder, Lu Youting’s eyes burned with fury.
Jian Si smiled, “I’ll see you out!”
“Sure!”
Ji Mingche nodded in agreent.
After escorting him to the door, Jian Si said with full apology, “Xiao Bai has been with Daddy since he was little, and we mother and son have only just recognized each other, so he’s quite clingy to .
I hope you don’t mind.”
Ji Mingche brushed it off, “No worries, I won’t take it to heart with a kid.”
Jian Si asked, “What did you say you needed for this afternoon?”
Ji Mingche chuckled, “I’ve been away from Jiangcheng for quite a few years, and a lot has changed here.
I’m not familiar with many places, and I brought too few clothes with .
The weather’s turning cool, and I was hoping you’d accompany to buy a few items.”
Jian Si agreed readily, “Tomorrow is Xiao Bai’s first heart surgery.
If you don’t mind waiting until he’s through the critical first three days, I’ll go shopping with you then, okay?”
“Great!
I’ll wait for your ssage!
Just don’t make wait too long.”
“Sure!”
After making plans, Ji Mingche left.
Jian Si watched his figure vanish from her sight before turning back to the private room.
A shocking chill lingered in the room, and the air was sowhat oppressive.
Lu Ya and Shen Qing, hardly daring to breathe, sat there tearfully without tears, faces filled with despair.
Seeing Jian Si enter, they lit up as though seeing a savior, nearly crying with excitent, as hope rekindled in their ashen eyes.
Jian Si found this amusing, “What happened to you guys?”
Lu Ya kept nudging his lips towards Lu Youting.
Jian Si, puzzled, turned her gaze to Lu Youting.
She saw Lu Youting sitting there, like a sovereign, his profound eyes glaring at her with anger, facial muscles taut, brimming with a temper on the verge of exploding.
Missing the obvious cue, Jian Si naively asked, “What did you guys do to upset him?”
Lu Ya and Shen Qing: “…??”
“…??” Lu Yanbai was speechless.
Even he could see why his father was angry, yet his Mommy had no clue.
How could he have such a clueless Mommy?
“…??” Lu Youting’s face was ashen, his voice chillingly cold, “Why were you gone for so long?”
Failing to detect his displeasure, Jian Si sat down next to Lu Yanbai, nonchalantly saying, “We didn’t talk much.
He just got back, and it’s the change of season.
He has no clothes, so we agreed to go shopping together next ti.”
The air instantly turned to ice.
Chill spread wildly through the space.
Lu Ya and Shen Qing wanted to cry; they wished they could perish on the spot.
What had they done to deserve this?
They were just reporting work, and now they had stumbled into this ss.
