Lu Jinghan reached out and wrapped Han Xi in his arms: "It’s cold outside, let’s go in."
"Okay."
Before Housekeeper Li left, he instructed the guards at the door to drive away the three of them, to prevent any trouble when the guests ca out later.
Back in the banquet hall, sitting down at the dining table, Lu Jinghan asked a servant to bring a bowl of hot soup for Han Xi: "Have so soup to warm yourself up."
"Where did you two go?" Manman, having eaten enough, put down her utensils and leaned in curiously.
Han Xi took a few sips of the soup and whispered softly: "Just now, Lu Jingchen and his mother ca over, insisting on barging in."
"Oh wow, they’ve already been kicked out of the Lu Family yet still shalessly forced their way in. Impressive."
Han Xi nodded in agreent and continued eating the food on her plate; she had been too worried about Lu Jinghan earlier to eat properly.
When the banquet ended, Han Xi and Lu Jinghan saw the guests off and were planning to head ho, but they were stopped by Old Master Lu, who insisted they stay at the old house.
Han Xi didn’t want to upset the elderly man, so she agreed, but soone was visibly unwilling.
"Are you still my grandson or not? Look how considerate Han is." Old Master Lu waved his hand grandly and sat down in front of the sofa: "Hurry up and accompany for a ga of chess."
Lu Jinghan glanced at his watch, his brows furrowed so tightly they could squash a fly: "Old man, can we play another day? It’s already very late. Aren’t you tired?"
"I’m still happy today and can do another round."
Han Xi, holding onto Lu Jinghan’s arm, sat down in front of the sofa: "Just play a ga with Grandpa. Today is his birthday, and we can’t upset him."
"Han is still the one who cares about , unlike that ungrateful kid." With that, Old Master Lu signaled Housekeeper Li to bring over the chessboard.
For a quick victory, Lu Jinghan didn’t hold back, decisively defeating Old Master Lu completely.
"Grandpa, you should go rest now, and I’ll play with you another day."
"Brat, so you’ve been letting win all this ti."
Normally, a ga would take at least twenty minutes, but now it was over in less than ten.
Old Master Lu, unwilling to admit defeat, wanted to play another ga, but Housekeeper Li stopped him: "Master, it’s very late, and the young master and young lady should rest too."
With Housekeeper Li’s reminder, Old Master Lu suddenly realized and laughed heartily: "Alright, alright, you both go back to your room. I’ll go to sleep too."
Back in the bedroom, Lu Jinghan directly carried Han Xi onto the bed, leaning over her.
"What are you doing? Stop it..."
"Mrs. Lu, you promised to be a bit more proactive tonight."
Han Xi now deeply realized that any promises made were debts to be repaid.
"I’m tired, can we...mm..."
All of Han Xi’s unfinished words fell under Lu Jinghan’s stormy kisses......
The next morning, Han Xi opened her drowsy eyes, finding herself snugly encircled in Lu Jinghan’s arms. She tilted her head upwards, her gaze eting his sharply defined, handso features.
Han Xi raised her finger to lightly trace Lu Jinghan’s thin lips, the room filled with the decadent scent of masculine hormones.
"Mrs. Lu is stirring the fire again. Didn’t get enough last night, hm?"
Lu Jinghan’s sexy voice, husky from sleep, lazily looked down at his little wife.
Han Xi blushed and quickly withdrew her hand, feeling a sudden sense of being caught for peeking.
