Chapter 375: Chapter 373: Lu Family Recognizes Relatives 10_1 Chapter 375: Chapter 373: Lu Family Recognizes Relatives 10_1 Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but gasp for air, her tears falling in streams, “Ouch!”
Her eyes, like those of a frightened doe, looked at him pitifully.
This guy gets so jealous. She had already made things clear to Lu Fan just now and had even sworn loyalty to him, yet he still ca to settle scores with her after the fact!
She felt wronged.
“I wasn’t using force!” Seeing this, Lu Tingli imdiately furrowed his brow, holding her face tenderly with his soft fingertips, gently rubbing the spot he had touched, “Does it still hurt?”
After a humph, Xia Ningxing turned her head away, ignoring him and letting him bully her.
Unable to contain himself, Lu Tingli frowned and forcefully turned her small face toward him so she faced him, “You laugh and chat so happily with other n, and I’m not allowed to punish you a little?”
His thin lips parted slightly, betraying a hint of grievance with his words.
“How would you feel if you saw smiling and chatting intimately with other won, as close as if we were dating?”
Without a second thought, Xia Ningxing replied, “Uncomfortable.”
“I’m uncomfortable too!” Lu Tingli said the sa, then added with a promise, “But I definitely won’t be laughing and chatting with other won.”
“Alright, alright, from now on I too will definitely not laugh and chat with other n, only with you. Is that okay?” Xia Ningxing could see that the man was just waiting for her to say these words, and now she obediently said what he wanted to hear.
With that, the clouds cleared from Lu Tingli’s handso face.
“You’re quite well-behaved.”
He lifted his hand, threading through her thick black hair.
Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but roll her eyes and tell him the truth, “Lu, I actually think he has potential, and I wanted to poach him for my company in the future, which is why I was so nice to him.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Tingli fell into thought, realizing that Lu Fan seed sowhat familiar but couldn’t imdiately recall who he was.
After a while, Lu Tingli finally searched his mory bank and recalled his na, asking, “Isn’t his na Lu Fan?”
“Right!” Xia Ningxing nodded eagerly.
Lu Tingli t her gaze, his thin lips curving slightly as he embraced her, whispering in her ear, “Baby Xing really has a good eye. He’s indeed quite capable, has brought up many superstars, and it’s worth considering bringing him on board.”
“But if he really becos my employee, I’ll have to interact with him and you can’t get jealous?” Xia Ningxing blinked, her white and tender fingers tracing circles on the front of his shirt, teasing him on purpose.
Lu Tingli choked for a mont before seriously replying, “Business is business, and personal is personal. I trust Baby Xing knows the proper way to interact with him.”
“So understanding. Here’s a reward!” Xia Ningxing saw he agreed, her eyes curving joyfully. The most difficult step was done; Lu Fan would be no problem now.
She would indeed offer him a sincere invitation when the ti ca.
At this mont, Xia Ningxing leaned into the man’s handso face, leaving a kiss on his cheek.
But the man was not one to be satisfied easily, and imdiately started nibbling at her voraciously.
If Xia Ningxing hadn’t pushed him away forcefully in the end, who knows how long he would have continued.
“Lu! That’s enough!” Xia Ningxing’s cheeks were flushed like ripened apples, and together with her neck and the base of her ears, they were red, her eyes misty and pitiful yet filled with allure.
Lu Tingli said sternly, “It’s never enough… it’s never enough…”
“I don’t have ti for this. Let’s hurry ho. Tomorrow we still need to get the paternity test!” Xia Ningxing coquettishly reproached him, pushing his arm again “Go ho, go ho, drive!”
Right, the results of the paternity test will be out tomorrow morning, and then we’ll know for sure whether Sir Lu is truly the grandpa or not.
“Okay, drive…” Lu Tingli’s hand was on the steering wheel, his voice trailing off with a aningful drawl.
Xia Ningxing: “…”
Soone, drag this guy out and dump him!
…
anwhile, Lu Fan had already driven to the hospital.
Sir Lu’s hospital room was crowded that day, everyone there keeping him company and chatting.
Sir Lu lay in the hospital bed, responding intermittently, clearly not very interested in entertaining them.
They weren’t fools, of course they could see that.
So Aunt Lu couldn’t help but ask, “Dad, what are you staring out the door for?”
“Waiting for Fan,” Sir Lu responded.
“Speaking of Fan, didn’t he land at six o’clock? It’s almost eight now and he still hasn’t arrived. Should I give him a call to hurry him up…” Before Aunt Lu could finish, the door to the hospital room swung open, and Lu Fan strode in with long steps.
At the sight of him, Sir Lu instantly perked up, nothing like his listless deanor when facing everyone else: “Fan! Co over here to grandpa!”
Sir Lu’s tone was cheerful, he waved him over eagerly.
Everyone assud he simply missed his grandson, but Lu Fan knew very well that Sir Lu was actually concerned about whether he managed to win over Xia Ningxing.
Previously on the phone, Sir Lu had nagged him repeatedly, insisting that he must win over Xia Ningxing and make her part of the family by marrying her.
When he approached, Sir Lu hastily began to inquire, “Fan, how did it go with the task I gave you?”
“Grandpa, first tell , do you know that Miss Xia already has a boyfriend?” Lu Fan pushed up his glasses, having been thinking all the way back that a man like Sir Lu would surely have had her investigated beforehand.
Which ans, he probably knew Xia Ningxing had a boyfriend, yet still wanted him to swoop in and steal her away!
That’s just shaless!
And the most crucial part, if he was going to poach, why couldn’t he find him an easier target?
Soone like Lu Tingli was basically an impenetrable fortress, how was he supposed to poach that!?
“Ahem!” Seeing he couldn’t hide it any longer, Sir Lu couldn’t help but cough and awkwardly explain, “Isn’t it all for your own good? Miss Xia is such a good person, it would be your honor to have her as your wife. Of course, I’m also thinking of what’s best for Miss Xia. She’s still young, should have more choices, not just hang on one tree.”
In the end, to make Xia Ningxing part of the family, Sir Lu really had no sha.
A black line crossed Lu Fan’s forehead and the corner of his lips twitched speechlessly, “Grandpa, you’re overthinking it. Miss Xia’s boyfriend is outstanding, even if she ‘hangs’ on this tree, it’s worth it.”
Sir Lu didn’t like to hear that at all, and his temper flared instantly, “Could he possibly be better than you?”
“Yes…” Although he hated to admit it, Lu Fan couldn’t deny that in every aspect, he couldn’t compare to Lu Tingli.
Oh wait, his family background was sowhat better.
But clearly, Xia Ningxing wasn’t soone who sought power and wealth! So what if his background was superior?
