Chapter 516: 352: Helping Lu Cong Recover His Memory_1

Murong Qian didn’t expect to see her son rolling down the stairs as soon as she entered the house. She screamed in fright and ran towards him.

At the same time, someone ran even faster than her, rushing up the stairs to stop Murong Yun, his tall body shielding the boy.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

It was Lu Cong.

Seeing Lu Cong holding her son on the ground, Murong Qian panicked and ran over. She pulled her son up and frantically began to check him, “Xunxun, where does it hurt? Let me see.”

Thanks to Lu Cong serving as a human shield, the little boy wasn’t injured, just a little shaken.

He gathered his thoughts and said, “I’m okay, don’t worry.”

Once she was sure he was alright, Murong Qian finally sighed in relief.

She held the boy tightly and didn’t want to let go, all the while glancing at Lu Cong who was still on the floor. She asked him worriedly, “Are you alright?”

Lu Cong stared deeply at her, “I’m fine.”

After saying that, he got up, massaging his shoulder which was starting to ache a little from the impact.

He didn’t know why but even though Murong Qian seemed to worry about him, he always felt that in her eyes, the difference between him and Murong Yun was as vast as heaven and earth.

Yes, he felt slightly jealous.

Then he suddenly found it repulsive that he should be jealous of a mere child.

“Uncle Lu, thank you.”

Murong Yun stepped up to Lu Cong and politely bowed to him.

Seeing how well-behaved and considerate the boy was, how could Lu Cong still be jealous?

He ruffled the boy’s hair and said in a deep voice, “Be more careful next time, okay? Don’t hurt yourself.”

“Alright.”

The boy nodded and took a step forward, embracing Lu Cong when he wasn’t paying attention, “Welcome to our house.” Daddy…

He wasn’t a fool. If mommy had brought daddy home, it meant she had forgiven him.

The three of them could soon be reunited, right?

Thinking of this, the boy excitedly turned his head and looked at Murong Qian with great anticipation.

Murong Qian, of course, knew what her son wanted but she gently shook her head at him indicating that he had to wait a bit more.

“Oh.”

The boy silently acknowledged her response and instinctively tightened his grip on Lu Cong.

Lu Cong didn’t expect the boy to be so clingy, and his heart instantly softened.

At this time, housekeeper Auntie Zhang came in from outside carrying a large bag. Seeing Murong Qian at home, she couldn’t hide her excitement, “Miss, you’re back. And this gentleman is…”

After so many years, she was seeing Missy bring a man home, could it be Yunyun’s father?

Auntie Zhang couldn’t help but curiously stare at Lu Cong and the more she looked, the more she found little Yunyun’s chin was quite similar to this man’s.

“This is Mr. Lu. He’ll be staying here for a while. Lu Cong, this is Auntie Zhang who takes care of all our household chores.”

Murong Qian introduced them to each other.

After the greetings, Murong Qian said to Auntie Zhang, “Could you arrange a guest room for Mr. Lu?”

“Of course, no problem.”

Auntie Zhang said that with a smile and immediately went to get busy.

Lu Cong leaned into Murong Qian’s ear and whispered in protest, “I thought we’d be staying in the same room.”

Murong Qian glared at him playfully, “Keep dreaming.”

Lu Cong: “…”

Well, all he did was dream a beautiful dream, didn’t he?

……

Meanwhile.

Ever since the identity of “A Sweet Pear” was exposed, Gu Li had been treated like a celebrity every time she went to class. Students from other classes would come to listen in and ask for her autograph.

However, since everyone knew that her other half was Mo Shiting, the boys who secretly liked her had no choice but to extinguish their little flames of love.

After all, who could compete with Mo Shiting?

What’s more, Gu Li’s name was also removed from the annual school beauty contest, because according to the rules, she was already taken and thus didn’t qualify.

Gu Li didn’t care about these things at all, in fact, she found them rather relaxing.

Days passed by quickly and in a blink of an eye, it was almost the end of the month.

She would soon be departing for M Country to participate in the “Super Brain” competition. She made a call to Murong Qian in advance, planning to visit her and Murong Yun during that time.

“Sounds great! Text me your flight number and I’ll pick you up. You and Mo Shiting can stay at my house.”

Murong Qian said this while cozied up on the couch, with a smile playing on her lips.

She had been busy running around with Lu Cong lately and hadn’t been able to talk to Little Pear much. She missed her.

Gu Li teased with a laugh, “If Shiting and I stay at your house, wouldn’t it disrupt you and Lu Cong?”

Murong Qian retorted, “What nonsense are you talking about? I sense you’re just worried that I might third wheel between you and Mo Shiting, aren’t you?”
