Chapter 135 - Young Master Lu, Wait And See

“Alright, let’s stop standing around and talking. Master Mu, you’ve just returned to T City. We’ll have dinner tonight. Ning Qing and I shall hold a welcome dinner for you?”

“Yes, Older Brother Yunfan, have you returned to T city alone? Let’s have dinner together,” Ning Qing said.

Mu Yunfan nodded. He looked at Ning Qing with a gaze like the warm sunrise. “Qingqing, I came back alone. I haven’t seen you three years ago; I’ve missed you. I came back to see you. I haven’t seen Grandma for a long time, and haven’t tasted Auntie Wanqing’s meals for a long time. I’ll go home with you for dinner tonight.”

“Alright,” Ning Qing quickly agreed, “Older Brother Yunfan, when Grandma and Mother see you, they will be very happy.”

Speaking of that, Ning Qing looked at Lu Shaoming. “Shaoming, let’s go to Mom’s tonight.”

Lu Shaoming nodded his head as he said gently and crisply, “OK.”

So Mu Yunfan went back to the Porsche and Ning Qing went to Land Rover with Lu Shaoming.

...

In the Land Rover, Ning Qing looked at the driving man and asked softly, “Shaoming, do you mind?”

Lu Shaoming’s chiseled handsome face was enchanted by the neon lights reflected in the window. He looked at the Porsche behind him through the rearview mirror and asked with a casual smile, “Mind what?”

“Just Brother Yunfan... Kissed my hair, you saw it.”

“Ah.” Lu Shaoming looked sideways at the girl with a pure face. She had a faint joy on her face. He shook his head. “I don’t mind.”

“Thank you, Hubby.” Ning Qing let out a sigh of relief. “Older Brother Yunfan and I grew up together, and are like brother and sister. Hubby must not misunderstand us.”

Lu Shaoming smiled and said nothing.

Why did she ask him if he would mind Mu Yunfan kissing her instead of asking him if he would mind the existence of Mu Yunfan?

She had no idea what the problem was!

No wonder, she and Mu Yunfan had grown up with a close relationship. She was pure and open. Mu Yunfan was just like a brother to her, or she would not have chosen to be with Xu Junxi when she was 18 years old.

What about Mu Yunfan then?

Does Mu Yunfan see her as just his sister?

It seemed that everyone in T City thought so.

But according to a man’s intuition, Lu Shaoming was sure that Mu Yunfan likes Ning Qing as a man likes a woman.

Although he did not know why Mu Yunfan had not pursued Ning Qing in their 18-years together. When Mu Yunfan came back this time, he was full of hostility towards him.

I’ve missed you... Seen Grandma... Tasted Auntie Wanqing’s meals...

It all sounded normal to Ning Qing, but it sounded harsh to his ears.

Each sentence was specifically said for him to hear by Mu Yunfan.

Oh, unfortunately, the girl around didn’t get it.

It was probably difficult for her to understand.

Just a few nights ago, he had just asked her casually, “Does your Older Brother Yunfan like you?” She was so agitated that she explained that Mu Yunfan was innocent and felt guilty, which was why she was so protective of him.”read comics on our Read.live”

And did he mind Brother Yunfan kissing her?

What a dumb question!

...

Yue Wanqing opened the door herself. She saw Lu Shaoming and Ning Qing and was elated. “Qingqing, Shaoming, have you come to have dinner? It happens that Mom has cooked a lot of dishes today.”

“Mom, we are bringing a guest with us today. You and Grandma will be very happy to see him.”

“Who?”

Mu Yunfan stepped forward. “Aunt Wanqing.”

Yue Wanqing saw Mu Yunfan and was surprised. “Yunfan, why are you here, come in quickly! Auntie hasn’t seen you for three years. You’re getting more and more handsome. Grandma had just mentioned you when she was bored the other day, saying that if you were there, you would definitely play a couple of games of chess with her.”

Mu Yunfan went into the living room and Grandma came out of the room after hearing the commotion.

Grandma had a craniotomy in the past few months, which had successfully restored her memory, but she was old. After she had become aware of her son’s and Li Meiling’s fabrication, she suffered too hard of a blow and she looked very haggard.

“Grandma, Yunfan has come to see you.” Mu Yunfan came forward, helping to support Grandma’s arm cleverly and sensibly.

A smile spread throughout Grandma’s entire face, she could not believe it, “Yunfan, is it really you? Oh my, your Grandma and I were great sisters. Grandma had watched you grow up since you were a child. Now you are so handsome. Grandma is old.”

“Grandma, you’re not old at all. You look exactly the same as when I left three years ago. You look 60 years old at most.”

Grandma smiled quickly. “You’re the only child with a sweet mouth. Qingqing...” Grandma waved Ning Qing over.

Originally, Lu Shaoming had secretly held Ning Qing’s small hand when they took the elevator. They were newly married, and they could not be separated easily.

Ning Qing, with a small red face, was afraid that Yunfan would see but was reluctant to let go of his hand. She quietly held Lu Shaoming’s hand and pinched it naughtily.

As she had been called by her grandmother, Ning Qing quickly let go of Lu Shaoming’s hand and stepped forward.

Lu Shaoming’s palm was empty. He watched his little wife enter the living room and stand beside Mu Yunfan.

Grandma looked them both and was happy no matter how she looked. She couldn’t help but murmur, “When you were young, you were so close. There was this one time Qingqing went to the Mu family’s house to play and accidentally broke Grandpa Mu’s favorite vase. Qingqing was afraid to say that she had broken it, so Yunfan told Grandpa Mu that he broke it. Grandpa took the whip and gave Yunfan a whip and Yunfan gritted his teeth but didn’t make a sound.

“Grandma still remembers that you guys liked to play house the most. Qingqing would be wearing pink princess dresses while Yunfan pretended to be a guard with a precious knife and was dedicated to guarding the princess.”

Grandma’s words evoked beautiful memories of Ning Qing’s childhood. She smiled shyly and sweetly and said, “Grandma, that was when we were all children. Why do you still speak of it now?”

Mu Yunfan gazed down at Ning Qing’s delicate face and said with an adoring laugh, “Grandma, nothing’s changed. Qingqing will always be my princess.”

“Good.” Grandma happily took Mu Yunfan’s hand and Ning Qing’s little hand. She wanted to place the two hands together.

“Master Mu.” Lu Shaoming’s low and mellow voice echoed through the room. He drew up his lips and walked towards the three people as he joked, “That’s where you are wrong. If Qingqing is your princess. What does that make me? Ning Qing is now my wife.”

If he doesn’t speak up now, then when would he?

His backyard would catch fire if he didn’t speak up.

His “wife” made Mu Yunfan’s gaze stiffen, but he instantly returned to normal.

Lu Shaoming did not see that he was surprised. He must have done some research before returning home. He already knew about their marriage.

Grandma then remembered Lu Shaoming. She patted her head, laughed, and scolded herself. “Look at this old person, I forgot about Shaoming’s existence. Shaoming, come here.”

Lu Shaoming stepped forward and Grandma let go of their hands and took Lu Shaoming’s hand alone. “Shaoming, Grandma forgot to introduce to you. This is Yunfan, the only grandson of the Mu family. Grandma and Yunfan’s grandma are good sisters. We have no grandsons in the Ning family. Grandma has treated Yunfan as my grandson since he was a child.”

Lu Shaoming laughed, their relationship was quite solid.

Nevertheless, his expression remained calm and composed, and with a raise of eyebrows, he laughed, “Grandma, Shaoming understands. Since he is Grandma’s grandson and Ning Qing’s brother, Shaoming will naturally treat him as a relative in the future.”

“That’s good, that’s good.” Grandma patted Shaoming’s hand.

Ning Qing looked up at Lu Shaoming. When he spoke to his mother and grandmother, he looked so attentive and friendly.

His words and manners permeate a mature man’s stability, but not without losing respect and filial piety. The broad shoulders of the man were built for a woman to depend and rely on, and they were the pillars of the woman in the family.

He was the head of her family.

That was probably why Mom and Grandma had come to like him so quickly.

Ning Qing’s dainty little face blushed, and she looked at Lu Shaoming with great tenderness.

Love me, love my dog.

The best love in the world.

Mu Yunfan looked sideways at Ning Qing. She was a happy little woman right now. He then looked at Lu Shaoming’s hand, which was being held by Grandma. “Grandma, you like Lu Shaoming so much, I’m jealous. You know, Yunfan has accompanied you for so many years.”

Lu Shaoming’s eyes flashed. Alright, using time to take my spotlight?

“Brother Yunfan,” Ning Qing said with a laugh. She glanced at Lu Shaoming shyly and quickly, and then said, “It’s different.”

Mu Yunfan stilled.

“Haha.” Yue Wanqing went up to him. “Yunfan, what are you jealous about? Qingqing is right. It’s different. A son-in-law and a grandson have different identities, but Grandma likes you both equally.”

“Yes, that’s right.” Grandma agreed.

“Alright, let’s stop talking. Let’s eat. Qingqing, come and help Mom.”

...

Everyone sat at the table and had a quiet dinner. They were all people of noble family origin. They didn’t speak at the table.

After dinner, Yue Wanqing was cleaning up the dishes. Suddenly she remembered something and asked, “Yunfan, are you back in T City alone? Where will you stay at night?”

Mu Yunfan sat on the sofa with Grandma. “Auntie Wanqing, I have no place to live for the time being. I want to spend more time with Grandma and Auntie. I think there are many rooms in this apartment. Shall I live here?”

Yue Wanqing looked at Lu Shaoming. After all, it was her son-in-law’s house. She had to ask his opinion. “Shaoming, how do you feel about Yunfan living here?”

Lu Shaoming did not have any opinion. His mother-in-law was gentle and courteous and respected him enough. Courtesy demands reciprocity. He should also give her face.

Mu Yunfan intended for him to agree when he threw out the question.

Between smart people, there was no need for too many words.

“Mom, this house is registered under your name. You don’t need my consent to let anyone live in it. Besides, I would feel less worried if Master Mu lives here. Master Mu will be able to help out Grandma.”

“Alright.” Yue Wanqing was 11/10 satisfied with her son-in-law.

His mother-in-law was satisfied. Lu Shaoming helplessly smiled, hoping that he hadn’t brought a wolf into his stable.

...

Yue Wanqing and Ning Qing went to the kitchen. Lu Shaoming and Mu Yunfan stood on the balcony and talked.

“Master Mu, there’s a question that Ning Qing would be embarrassed to ask you. Now I’m asking for her. You must have seen the news too. Do you have any opinion on the incident that happened between you and Ning Qing three years ago? Why is Ning Qing still a virgin?”

Mu Yunfan looked at the distant sky and answered, “I definitely have an impression of that incident; it was the most guilty thing in my life. I was drunk that day and went into my room. A friend said he had given me a girl. I don’t know why it was Qingqing. Maybe I was drunk and physically exhausted; I just went to sleep. After I woke up, even I didn’t even know if I anything had happened with Ning Qing. Fortunately, she was untouched.”

“Oh,” Lu Shaoming laughed and said lazily. “Master Mu has made himself sound innocent.”

Mu Yunfan did not change his expression as he asked, “Young Master Lu, tell me where I’m not innocent?”

“You and Ning Qing grew up together and should be familiar with each other’s voices. When Ning Qing was drunk and was lying in bed, she knew it was you when she heard you and your friends talking. When you went to bed, Ning Qing resisted you so much, avoided your kisses and called you Older Brother Yunfan. Telling me you didn’t recognize Ning Qing that night – do you think I’m a child?”

Lu Shaoming paused and continued, “You recognized Ning Qing and did not touch her, but this was not out of your good intentions. On the contrary, it was extremely bad. Because the next morning after the accident, you misled everyone and indirectly led to the Yin family’s collapse.”

“Oh, Young Master Lu’s words can be said to Qingqing. See if she believes them.”

Mu Yunfan’s expression was so fearless and he was sure of Ning Qing’s 18 years of friendship with him.

“Young Master Lu, I grew up with Qingqing since I was a child. In those 18 years, I didn’t spoil her in vain. If you want to slander me in front of her, I’m afraid there’s not enough evidence, so it won’t work.”

Lu Shaoming lifted his lips and changed the topic. “Master Mu, do you have a sense of frustration and weakness since you’ve come back this time? The girl you once spoiled defends other men in front of you. ‘Oh, sorry, this man is her husband now.’ And your grandmother and Auntie Wanqing, who spoiled you so much last time, are also beginning to side with their son-in-law. You probably didn’t expect me to encroach on your territory so quickly and win everyone’s favor, but your status is not guaranteed; you have become an outsider.”

Mu Yunfan’s beautiful face sank and his eyes twitched violently.

But he laughed quickly and said, “Young Master Lu, what are you in a hurry for? I just arrived today. I have not acted yet. Let’s wait and see.”

“Alright, Master Mu, I will always be waiting.”

When Lu Shaoming’s voice fell, Ning Qing ran out of the kitchen. “Shaoming.” She ran so fast that she hit her calf and knee on the sofa and her legs suddenly went soft.

Lu Shaoming walked towards her with a clenched heart.

But from the corners of his eyes, he saw that Mu Yunfan had also run to Ning Qing.

Lu Shaoming paused instead and stopped walking.

Mu Yunfan lifted Ning Qing up while holding her slender arms and asked her nervously, “Qingqing, what’s wrong and where’s the pain?”

At this time Yue Wanqing also came out and chastised her, “Qingqing, what are you doing in such a hurry? Shaoming is just standing there. Nobody is snatching him from you.”

Mu Yunfan’s concerned expression stagnated.

Ning Qing looked up at Lu Shaoming with a small red face. The man stood and looked at her with a slight frown. He blamed her a little.

She suddenly looked like a child who had made a mistake.

“Come here,” Lu Shaoming said.

“Ok.” Ning Qing responded as she drew back her slender arm from Mu Yunfan’s hand and walked toward him.

Arriving at his side, Lu Shaoming reached out and grabbed her soft waist and said softly, “Why are you so reckless, you’re almost 21 years old, and you’re still causing people to worry? Why, what were you looking for me for?”

Ning Qing’s delicate little face blushed as she whispered, “Shaoming, Mother asked me to sleep here tonight. I wanted to ask if you agree or disagree.”
