Chapter 153
≖≖≖≖✿❁✿ ≖≖≖≖
Although
Chi Cheng's vocabulary wasn’t much yet, he subconsciously felt his father who was
sitting in the middle was stealing the favor that belonged to him.
Chi
Cheng was a little anxious, but he could only continue to pull on the hem of Lu
Jingyan's shirt and explained earnestly, "But Dad, I don't get motion
sickness. Mom often drives me out to play and I don't get motion
sickness."
Lu
Jingyan rubbed Chi Cheng's short hair, "Your position is safer."
Chi
Cheng surrendered, "Then Dad should sit in a safe position."
Lu
Jingyan, "It's usually the safest position for children."
Chi
Ying just mentioned it casually, yet they’re brushing off her already weak presence.
However, she didn't expect both of them to act childish. Give her one more
chance and she'll stop talking.
Meanwhile,
in between, her and Lu Jingyan's legs were their hands that were still pressed together
against the car seat and the warm heat can be felt in their palms. Although the man's shapely hand was really
sexy and beautiful, Chi Ying still struggled hard and pulled out of the hold.
Then she leaned into Lu Jingyan's ear and whispered, "Hey, when are you
going to stop teasing him?"
Her
warm and soft breath poured onto her sensitive earlobes, Lu Jingyan's face was
slightly red, but he was cold and pretended that nothing happened,
"Guess."
Chi
Ying remembered Mother Chi’s words and continued whispering in a low voice, “Qingqing,
I don't know how I will face Chengcheng. He is still young."
(TN:
[卿卿] Qingqing
is an
affectionate
title (sometimes sarcastic) for people who are intimate with each other)
Lu
Jingyan, “When did we kiss?"
Chi
Ying, “Just a while ago and just now." She said, rubbing her hot right hand.
Lu
Jingyan, “No, those are etiquette." After speaking, he kissed her earlobe and then
sat back as if nothing happened.
"You
you—"
Chi
Ying was embarrassed and incoherent for a while. She recovered from the electric
current from their intimacy and hurriedly looked at Chi Cheng. Fortunately, Lu Jingyan's body was more than
half turned, so it shouldn’t be visible from Chi Cheng's angle.
She
saw Chi Cheng put his hands around his chest, his eyebrows were curved, and
said helplessly, “Mom and Dad, you have been whispering for so long, what are
you discussing?"
Chi
Ying blushed, then sat up and nodded, “We were talking about you sitting in the
middle, now you can move position.”
Lu
Jingyan glanced at her with a meaningful look.
Chi
Cheng smiled contentedly and sat down between them without saying a word. His eyes
were lit up like starlights.
He
hooked Chi Ying with his left arm and Lu Jingyan with his right arm, not
forgetting to say, "That's right."
Seeing
that the atmosphere was finally peaceful, Chi Ying was relieved and replied,
"You are right."
The
driver started the engine and the vehicle moved smoothly. Mother Chi watched
them leave feeling relieved and prepared to end the conversation with Tong
Jiashu. She thought the woman's suit was obvious and the purpose is not pure. Dealing
with such a person is exhausting. After all, Tong Jiashu is the parent of Chi
Cheng's classmate and Mother Chi has given her enough face.
She
pretended to look at her phone and said, "The person I'm waiting for is
temporarily busy, so I'll go first."
Tong
Jiashu heard that Mother Chi was leaving and finally asked, "How long have
you lived in this community?"
Mother
Chi paused, “What?"
"There
are rumors that this yard belongs to the Lu family." Tong Jiashu pointed
to the villa on the right, "It just happened many years ago, I don't know
if it's true. Do you know?"
Mother
Chi said lightly, “I'm not interested in such things and I don't know."
Tong
Jiashu smiled unabated, “I didn't pay much attention to it before, but it seemed
someone took care of this abandoned mansion today. I came to take a look and thought
I might be able to see the master."
Mother
Chi asked calmly, "How can that be simple?"
Tong
Jiashu looked at Mother Chi's expression and sneered, "After all, it's the
Lu family, so it's good to have a look from a distance. I just want to know if
it's true."
Mother
Chi hummed, "Then you go and have a look. I'll go back first."
Tong
Jiashu smiled and waved, “See you next time!"
"Goodbye.”
Tong
Jiashu walked to the gate of the yard alone and was amazed by the mansion. The
moment she took out her camera to take a picture, the gardener who was working
in the yard came forward with a stern face.
The
middle-aged man had an expressionless face and a stern tone. Even if he was
just a gardener, he had a strong aura on his body, “This is a private
residence, no photography is allowed. Please leave immediately."
Seeing
that Tong Jiashu was not moving, he pointed out the camera above, “The
surveillance has already collected the evidence. Please take care of
yourself."
"Don't,
don't, don't-" Tong Jiashu waved her hand, "I'm not a bad person. I'm
a loyal admirer of the Lu family. Let me just ask, will your masters come back
to live here in the future?”
The
gardener said nothing and looked at her with a grim expression. The pruning
shears in his hand shone with a cold light and behind him was a building that
had been abandoned for more than ten years.
Tong
Jiashu suddenly felt panicked by the situation and said, "I'll go, I'll go."
She
slipped away holding her camera. She has the habit of taking pictures. People in the circle should always be subtle. After
all, the right photo might come in handy in the future and help her reach the
pinnacle of her life. In case of accidentally photographing any secrets, she can
also take the opportunity to sell them for a small sum of money.
When
she was in college, she often conveyed this idea to Shu Bai. When Shu Bai
celebrated her birthday, she also gave her a camera. Thinking of Shu Bai, Tong Jiashu faintly felt melancholic.
Since she told her about Chi Cheng, Shu
Bai disappeared again. Although Shu Bai's disappearance has been the norm over
the years, it has never been as thorough as this time. Even the mobile number
that has been registered is now canceled.
...
The
Bentley’s destination was Lu Zhai where Lu Jingyan's residence is located in
the city. This time he was going to his home
not because Lu Jingyan had prepared any surprises as usual, but because of his
impromptu intentions.
Chi
Cheng is visiting for the first time. The house is a European-style building
with an elegant atmosphere and it is much larger than their courtyard. The car
was still driving outside the Lu's house and slowed down the speed as Chi Cheng
looked out the car window without batting his eyes.
Too
bad he was sitting in the middle which is far from the window. He didn’t want
to miss the scene in front of him. Chi Cheng leaned forward hard, trying to
stretch his neck a little a bit more. His posture was cute, but it looked very difficult.
Lu
Jingyan asked him, "Want to change seats?"
"I..."
Chi Cheng felt embarrassed when he remembered that he insisted to move to the
middle of the seat. His cheeks blushed and after thinking for a few seconds, he
whispered, "Change, thank you, Dad."
Then
Chi Ying helped him unbuckle his seat belt and Chi Cheng climbed onto Lu
Jingyan's body. He sat down, although
not as comfortable as the cushion it still seems as good.
Chi
Cheng was delighted, “Why don't you hold me, Dad?"
Lu
Jingyan nodded. Chi Cheng glanced in Chi
Ying's direction, smiled brightly, and then continued to turn his head to enjoy
the view of Lu's house.
"Dad,
this is your home. Do your grandparents, father and mother live here?"
Lu
Jingyan was stunned for a second, then said, "No, I live alone."
Chi
Cheng widened his eyes, “Alone? Dad, wouldn't it be boring to live alone in
such a big place?"
Lu
Jingyan didn't deny it, “Well, it's very boring."
Chi
Cheng raised his eyebrows worriedly, “Then what should I do? Dad, do you want
me to lend you a toy? Or comics books, origami...?"
Lu
Jingyan calmly replied, "Just lend your mother to me."
Hearing
this, Chi Cheng almost jumped up and asked with a look of alertness,
"What, what, what? What did you just say?"
Lu
Jingyan laughed lowly, then smooth his hair soothingly, "And you too."
