Chapter 1982
Hello, Mr. Major General
When Lu Yuan saw the âGoodâmessage from song jinning in his room, his usually calm and composed face could not help but reveal a trace of joy.
He could not help but dial song Jinningâs phone number.
Song Jinning regretted that her fingers did not listen to her. Although she could cancel the previous message, if Lu Yuan had already seen it, wouldnât it be even more awkward if she canceled it?
While she was hesitating, she saw Lu Yuan calling.
She pursed her lips and answered the call.
Lu Yuan did not speak at the beginning, and she did not say anything either.
The two of them held their phones and waited quietly for a while.
It was Lu Yuan who came back to his senses first and said very gently,â... I just wanted to ask you if you want to have supper?â
Song Jinning was so excited that her heart was about to jump out of her throat before it slowly returned to its normal position.
She and Lu Yuan had dinner together, but it was their first time eating alone, so she was a little uncomfortable and didnât feel full.
Later, she watched a movie, and after watching the movie, she went through another emotional shock. Now, she was really a little hungry.
Covering her stomach, song Jinningâs voice was also gentle,â... my stomach is a little uncomfortable, I want to have some porridge.â
Lu Yuan nodded. âI see that you didnât eat well tonight. Iâll go make some millet porridge to nourish your stomach. You take a shower first. Iâll call you when itâs done.â
Song jinning nodded and suggested, âMake some supper for Nianzhi and professor Lu as well. Itâs all thanks to Nianzhi today. Look at how much effort she put in to find such a âheartwarming and nostalgic filmâfor us.â
Lu Yuan could hear some resentment in song Jinningâs tone and chuckled. âOkay, Iâll cook for them.â
Actually, even if song jinning hadnât said anything, Lu Yuan would have prepared supper for the father and daughter.
The consequences of only preparing supper for song jinning and not preparing supper for Lu Jin and Gu Nianzhi were too much for Lu Yuan to bear in his life.
Besides, the movie Gu Nianzhi had chosen was too much for Lu Yuanâs liking. Even if it was a reward, he had to prepare a good supper for her.
Half an hour later, song jinning came out of her room after taking a shower. When she arrived at the dining room, she found Gu Nianzhi and Lu Jin already sitting in the dining room, grinning from ear to ear as they ate from their porcelain bowls.
âHuh? Whatâs that? It smells so good...âsong jinning sat down with a big smile on her face. She poked her head out to look at the food in Gu Nianzhiâs bowl.
âWontons with three delicacies. President Lu made them himself!âGu Nianzhi scooped out a delicate wonton with a spoon for song jinning to look at, âThereâs shrimp paste, egg skin, and meat paste in it. The ingredients are nothing special, but that combination... TSK, itâs a complete master!â
Lu Yuan came out of the kitchen with a tray and placed three bowls of desserts in front of the three of them.
âBirdâs nest with rose milk. Try it and see if it tastes the same as the Hongâs Hotel.âLu Yuan said to song jinning, âIâll bring you millet congee. You eat the millet congee first, then the birdâs nest with rose milk.â
Gu Nianzhi and Lu Jin did not say a word. They ate happily while smiling at Lu Yuan and song Jinning, who did not bat an eyelid.
Song Jinning was indeed famished. She quickly said, âIâll get it myself. Do you have any more wontons? They smell good.â
âAlso, you eat the congee first.âLu Yuanâs eyes swept over Gu Nianzhi and Lu Jin.
Gu Nianzhi and Lu Jin immediately lowered their heads and focused on Lu Yuanâs meticulously prepared night snack.
Lu Yuan and song Jinning went to the kitchen together. The two of them did not come out either, so they placed millet porridge on the kitchen table where they had breakfast.
Song Jinning sat on a high stool, eating millet porridge as she watched Lu Yuan boil the wontons.
Gu Nianzhi finished her supper and was about to clear the dishes and send them to the kitchen.
But she stopped at the kitchen door.
In the dimly lit kitchen, the background music was playing on the Bluetooth speakers. Song Jinning and Lu Yuan Sat and stood, talking casually. They looked at each other and smiled from time to time, exuding the calmness and warmth of the past.
Gu Nianzhi did not want to ruin the atmosphere between the two of them.
She quietly turned around and put the tray back on the dining table. She pulled Lu Jin along and tiptoed out of the dining room, leaving the area for Lu Yuan and song jinning.
She was so excited that she pulled Lu Jin into her bedroom.
She closed the door and her eyes lit up.
âDad, did you see that? ! CEO Lu and Ms. Song have a Chance!â
Lu Jin looked at her with amusement and said, âWhy are you so excited?â
âArenât you excited? ! The two of them have missed so much!âGu Nianzhi almost thought of a book.
Lu Jin shrugged. âWhy should I be excited? â boss Luâs attacks have never missed.â
Gu Nianzhi:â...â
Well, this person was really confident in Lu Yuan.
Gu Nianzhi sat down on the sofa and held her head with her hand. She said admiringly, âItâs not strange for president Lu to make a move, but Mrs. Song can accept him... I think heâs braver than President Lu.â
Lu Jin didnât understand. He walked over to Gu Nianzhiâs side and sat down, he frowned and asked,â... why is Mrs. Song Braver? Shouldnât this kind of thing be between two people? Moreover, it was boss Lu who made the first move. It was clearly boss Lu who was braver.â
Gu Nianzhi smiled and shook her head. âYou canât say that. Ms. Songâs situation is more complicated. Look, she was once married to CEO Luâs younger brother and even had a son...â
Lu Jin was even more confused and interrupted her,â... sheâs already divorced. Whatâs the problem?â
Gu Nianzhi:â...â
âNo problem, but what does she think?âGu Nianzhi wasnât paying attention and tried to explain to Lu Jin the meaning of the word âRelationshipâ.
Unfortunately, Lu Jin had been suffering from severe relationship disorder for many years, so he couldnât understand Gu Nianzhiâs concern at all.
He frowned even more,â... but Mrs. Song and Huo Guanchen are already divorced, why canât she find another man?â
âSo what if that man is Huo Guanchenâs biological brother? Thereâs no legal prohibition on that, right?â
âOf course not.âGu Nianzhi felt like her mouth was about to dry up.
She was such a retard!
Why did she try to say such things to Lu Jin? !
In Lu Jinâs mind, as long as there was no genetic defect, he did not think it was a big deal even if they were to marry next of kin!
Not to mention the insignificant âPublic discussionâ.
âNianzhi, why do you care about these completely meaningless words?âLu Jin was puzzled, he said disdainfully, âAnyone who gossips about Madam Song and Boss Lu is a potential mental patient with a twisted mind. You should advise them to see a psychiatrist or, worse, see a psychiatrist directly.â
Gu Nianzhi:â...â
She raised her hands. âDad, I was wrong. I shouldnât have said such things to you!â
âIf you admit your mistakes, then youâre still a good kid.âLu Jin smiled as he stroked her head. âAlright, Iâm going back to my room. You should go to bed early too.â
Gu Nianzhi was defeated. She stood up weakly to send him off. âDad, Iâm going back to the Senate to work tomorrow. What are your plans for Tomorrow?â
âI donât have any classes tomorrow. Iâll send you to the Senate to work.âLu Jin smiled. âI want to see what my daughterâs place of work is like.â
Gu Nianzhi agreed. She and Lu Jin looked in the direction of the dining room and kitchen.
The soft lights were still on, and the music was still as pleasant and soft as flowing water.
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips into a smile and whispered, âDad, please walk gently...â
Lu Jin nodded and carefully returned to his bedroom.
Gu Nianzhi closed the bedroom door, took out her phone, and sent Huo Shaoheng a text message: âItâs late, Iâm going to bed. Donât come over today.â.
Huo Shaoheng was in the meeting room of the Special Operations Forcesâheadquarters.
After a month of long vacation, he officially canceled his leave and went to work.
He had been away from his job for more than a year and had too many things to deal with.
Today was an emergency. He was called back to the Special Operations Forcesâheadquarters at around eight oâclock to listen to his subordinatesâreports.
He did not see Gu Nianzhiâs text message immediately. It was only after the meeting was over that he took back his phone and smiled.
..
The next morning, when Gu Nianzhi and Lu Jin woke up, they found their breakfast on the dining table. Lu Yuan had left a note saying that he had sent song jinning to work.
Lu Jin was very unhappy and grumbled,â... I work at the Institute of High Energy Physics too. Why didnât boss Lu say that he would send me off?â
Gu Nianzhi laughed and patted Lu Jin on the shoulder. âDad, didnât you want to work with me at the Senate?â
âOh, thatâs right! I almost forgot!âLu Jin laughed. âBoss Lu values relationships over friends. I Wonât lower myself to his level!â
âThatâs right, thatâs right...âGu Nianzhi smiled and comforted him. âYou have a daughter, but boss Lu doesnât have anything...â
âYes, heâs indeed quite pitiful,âLu Jin said sympathetically. His mood was balanced, and he began to eat his breakfast happily.
As long as there was good food, Gu Nianzhi and Lu Jin were willing to maintain the status quo.
However, Lu Yuan was indeed just taking song Jinning to work at the Institute of High Energy Physics on the way.
He had made an appointment with his fund manager this morning to see how much the inheritance Huo Shaoheng had given to his mother was worth, and whether it was enough to start an investment bank.
