Chapter 468: Chapter 468 Ming Lu Extra (1)

Lu Yubai was stunned for a moment, anger flashing across his face, yet his hand on the sofa clenched into a fist, holding back the rage boiling within.

"How dare they!"

Shen Yanhe sighed silently, then continued, "Not only that, her understanding of life is incomplete now."

Shen Yanhe cruelly laid out the reality, "If you want to take her out of the laboratory, you’ll have to teach her some basic life skills from scratch and watch over her all the time."

One could say that apart from being adept in combat, Mingying was like an idiot in everyday life.

She was like a second Lu Jing, or even worse.

Lu Yubai wanting to live with her would require a lot of effort.

"I understand," Lu Yubai’s voice was a bit hoarse, his fist still clenched: "Let me see her first."

Shen Yanhe nodded, "Okay, in a couple of days, I’ll take you to see her."

Lu Yubai’s face showed gratitude: "Thank you, Miss Shen."

Shen Yanhe asked about Lu Jing’s recent situation to make sure he hadn’t relapsed before letting Yi Fang take Lu Yubai out.

Shen Yanhe headed to the study.

As she entered, she saw Fu Yanhe sitting in the chair, typing code on his laptop.

Shen Yanhe walked up behind him, lay on his back, and wrapped her arms around his neck, resting her chin on his shoulder.

Fu Yanhe stayed still, slightly turning his face to rub against her: "All done talking?"

"Mhm." Shen Yanhe looked up at the screen, yawning wearily: "All sorted?"

Fu Yanhe nodded, entered the last piece of code on his laptop, and shut it down.

"Let’s go, back to the room to sleep for a bit."

Shen Yanhe straightened up, blinked, and opened her arms towards him with a soft tone: "I don’t want to walk, carry me."

These days she seldom acted coy, and with this sudden act, Fu Yanhe could hardly resist.

"Alright, alright, alright."

His eyes softened as he bent down to carefully pick her up.

Shen Yanhe curled up contently in his embrace: "Let’s go."

"As you wish, my lady." Fu Yanhe answered with a smile, carrying her back to their room.

The careful way he held her, as if he was holding his entire world.

Meanwhile.

Lu Yubai returned to the hotel. Just as he opened the door, Lu Jing ran out with his little short legs, arms wide, joyfully leaping towards him: "Daddy, you’re back!"

Lu Yubai’s expression somewhat lightened as he knelt to catch him, lifting him in his arms.

A woman in a white long dress, with a delicate appearance and gentle demeanor, came out from the room, smiling, "Senior, you’re back."

Holding Lu Jing, Lu Yubai nodded slightly, his face stern: "Mm, thank you, make sure to check with finance about today’s payment."

This woman was Lu Yubai’s secretary, Chu Qiaoqiao.

Coming to Haicheng for Shen Yanhe’s wedding coincided with a project discussion here, and concerned about Lu Jing who came along needing care, he had Chu Qiaoqiao, his attentive junior, accompany them.

Today, as he went to meet Shen Yanhe, it was inconvenient to bring Lu Jing along, so he paid Chu Qiaoqiao an overtime fee of 1000 yuan to watch him for a while.

Chu Qiaoqiao looked at Lu Yubai tenderly, controlling her rapidly beating heart, her cheeks slightly flushed as she spoke: "It’s no trouble, little Jing was very well behaved, not a bother at all."

"If you need someone to take care of Little Jing next time, I can take care of him."

Taking care of Lu Jing would allow her to close the distance between herself and Lu Yubai.

This was something Chu Qiaoqiao had long dreamt of.

After all, she had been secretly in love with Lu Yubai for a long time.

"We’ll see,"

Lu Yubai spoke indifferently, not paying her any more attention, and walked inside while carrying Lu Jing. "Were you good today? Did you eat well?"

"I was good," Lu Jing nodded and held out his hands to show, "I ate a bowl of rice this big, all by myself. I didn’t let Qiaoqiao sister help me."

Chu Qiaoqiao had intended to leave, but the scene before her now was just too much like the family of three she had dreamt of.

She couldn’t help but follow them, gently smiling at what she heard, "Yes, Little Jing is very well-behaved and sensible."

Lu Yubai frowned slightly, paused his steps, and turned to look at her, "Why haven’t you left yet?"

Chu Qiaoqiao’s smile stiffened slightly as she clutched at her clothes and pursed her lips, unable to help saying, "I... BOSS, I have something I want to speak to you about."

Considering Chu Qiaoqiao’s help in looking after Lu Jing, Lu Yubai’s attitude was not too harsh. He restrained himself and said, "Speak."

Chu Qiaoqiao carefully glanced at Lu Jing and hesitated, "That... it’s not appropriate to discuss these matters in front of a child."

Lu Jing blinked understandingly and said, "Dad, just put me on the sofa. You go and tend to Qiaoqiao sister, and come back to play with me after you’re done."

Lu Yubai’s brow furrowed, he pondered for a few seconds, sighed, and placed Lu Jing on the sofa, "Alright, then you just stay here and play with your blocks, don’t mess with anything in the room. I’ll come back to be with you soon, okay?"

Lu Jing obediently nodded, "Okay."

Lu Yubai straightened up and gestured for Chu Qiaoqiao to follow him to the balcony.

Chu Qiaoqiao inaudibly took a deep breath and clenched her fists to encourage herself.

The two of them headed to the balcony.

Lu Yubai, somewhat impatiently, asked, "What do you want to say? Speak quickly."

He still had to go back and discuss things about Mingying with Lu Jing and didn’t have much time to waste on someone unimportant.

Chu Qiaoqiao suppressed the violent pounding in her chest, gazed tenderly and lovingly at Lu Yubai, "That... Senior, I, I’ve liked you for a very long time."

Blushing deeply, Chu Qiaoqiao shyly lowered her head, gathering her courage, "I have liked you since our school days, I’ve always idolized you, always followed in your footsteps."

"Senior, can you accept me? I’ll try my best to be a good wife, a good mother, and take good care of you and Little Jing..."

"Wait," Lu Yubai interrupted her before she could finish.

Chu Qiaoqiao was stunned for a moment, "Senior?"

Lu Yubai’s brows were tightly furrowed, his voice somewhat cold, "You know I’m married, right? I have a wife."

Chu Qiaoqiao acknowledged with a blush, "I know, but your wife isn’t..."

"She’s not dead," Lu Yubai said coldly. "She fell ill a few years ago, and I sent her abroad to recuperate. She’s returning in a couple of days."

Chu Qiaoqiao froze, her face suddenly flushing red.

His wife wasn’t dead?

But she had clearly heard before that his wife had been kidnapped by traffickers, had fallen off a cliff, and died...

"I... I didn’t know..." Chu Qiaoqiao looked somewhat helpless toward Lu Yubai, her clear, watery eyes making her appear very pitiful.

"Not knowing is okay," Lu Yubai said coldly. "You just need to know that your confession, I do not accept."
