Chapter 469: Chapter 469 Ming Lu Extra (2)

Chu Qiaoqiao’s face became even redder, a mix of shame and distress painting her features as she wished she could just find a crack to crawl into.

"I...I understand."

Lu Yubai said coldly, "You may leave, I will pretend that today’s incident never happened."

Chu Qiaoqiao nodded vigorously, pulling open the balcony door and rushing out.

After she left, Lu Yubai lifted his hand to pinch the painful spot between his brows, easing the indifferent expression on his face.

As he was about to enter the room, his cell phone rang from his pocket.

He took it out and saw that it was a call from his mother, who had gone abroad for a trip around the world early on.

Lu Yubai let out a silent sigh and answered the phone: "Mom..."

"Yubai, did you think about what mom told you a few days ago?"

Before Lu Yubai could speak, the woman’s voice on the other end chattered on.

"That young lady is quite nice, pretty, with a gentle personality. Though her family background is a bit inferior, she can barely match up to our family standards, and if you marry her, Little Jing can have a mother, someone to take care of him, right?"

Lu Yubai felt a throbbing pain in his temples from the incessant talking and said with some impatience, "Mom, I can handle my own affairs, I have plans of my own."

"You’re my son, if I don’t manage your matters, who will?" his mother retorted without a good temper.

She paused for a moment and then asked, "Are you still thinking about Yingying?"

"Yingying has been gone for so long, you should let go. Even if not for yourself, you have to think of Little Jing!"

Lu Yubai’s mother said gravely, "In the future, you will become busier and have even less time to take care of Little Jing. You need to find someone to take care of him for you."

Lu Yubai’s hand tightened on the railing, he opened his mouth, wanting to tell his mother that Mingying was still alive.

But considering the secrecy that the Daxia country maintained around experimental subjects.

He still didn’t say it.

"Little Jing is being taken care of by professionals, you don’t need to worry." Before she could speak further, Lu Yubai interjected, "If you are too idle, you’re welcome to come back and help me manage the company."

"Ah? What did you say? The signal isn’t very good here, why do I hear your voice cutting in and out?" His mother instantly changed the subject, "Oh no, it’s too choppy, I have to hang up now."

With that, the call was promptly disconnected.

Lu Yubai: "..."

He shook his head, pocketed his phone, and turned back to the room.

Lu Jing was still sitting on the sofa, fully engrossed in the blocks on the coffee table.

Lu Yubai didn’t make a sound to disturb him, standing at a distance, watching him as he pondered whether he should tell Lu Jing that Mingying was still alive.

Though young, he too had the right to know that his mother was still alive.

Moreover, Mingying had fought tooth and nail to rescue him from the hands of the human traffickers...

"Dad." After stacking the last block, Lu Jing finally noticed Lu Yubai had come in, quickly called out to him, and asked, "What did you say to sister Qiaoqiao just now? Why did I see her crying and running off?"

"It was some business matter, she made a mistake and I scolded her," Lu Yubai came to his senses and made up an excuse.

Immediately, he walked over to Lu Jing, crouching in front of him, gazing into his eyes, and asked softly, "Little Jing, do you miss mom?"

"Yes." Lu Jing replied earnestly and seriously, nodding vigorously, emphasizing, "A lot."

His lips pressed tightly together, his mood became somewhat downcast as he said, "But... Mom’s gone, she didn’t run out with me..."

"I’ve found Mom, do you want to see her?" Lu Yubai asked tenderly, softening his voice as much as possible.

Lu Jing’s eyes widened with surprise and excitement, clutching Lu Yubai’s sleeve, "Dad, you found mom? Where is she now? Can I go see her?"

Lu Jing’s eyes reddened, his voice choked with emotion as he said, "I miss her so much."

"Okay," Lu Yubai felt a tinge of sourness in his heart as he rubbed Lu Jing’s head. "But we have to wait a few more days before we can go see her."

He paused, then said, "It’s just that mom had an accident, and right now she might not be the same as the mom you remember, you..."

"It’s okay!" Lu Jing’s eyes were bright and shining, his chubby face deadly serious: "Mom is mom, no matter what she becomes, she’s still my mom."

Lu Yubai felt reassured inside, rubbing his head: "Alright, in a few days, I’ll take you to see her."

Lu Jing’s face lit up with anticipation, nodding vigorously: "Mhm!"

-

A week later.

Lu Yubai and Lu Jing got up early to dress up.

Lu Jing, unusually, swapped his soft, child-appropriate clothes for a tiny suit, his hair slicked with mousse, and a red tie around his neck.

"Dad, take a look at me," Lu Jing said nervously, pulling at Lu Yubai’s sleeve.

He stood up straight and tall before Lu Yubai could look, "Do I look okay in this?"

"Okay," Lu Yubai neatly finished tying his own tie and crouched down to adjust Lu Jing’s slightly askew one: "Very handsome."

Lu Jing let out a sigh of relief, urging him: "Then hurry up, Dad. Aunt Shen will be here soon; she has a baby, we shouldn’t keep her waiting too long."

"Okay."

Different from Lu Jing, Lu Yubai put on the same white shirt he wore when he first met Mingying, his hair left unstyled to fall naturally.

With handsome features and a tall stature, he hadn’t neglected his fitness over the years.

Putting on the white shirt, he actually looked years younger, like a fresh college graduate.

Once the father and son were ready, they took the elevator downstairs and headed straight for the black sedan parked at the entrance.

In front of that black sedan stood a woman in a black dress, with a full figure.

Next to her was a very tall man with an outstanding demeanor, carefully wrapping his arms around her waist.

"Miss Shen."

"Auntie!" Lu Jing ran towards Shen Yanhe, stopping half a meter away, politely exclaiming, "Uncle Fu."

Fu Yanhe nodded with an indifferent expression.

Shen Yanhe, looking at the adult and child before her, asked with some complexity, "What are you guys..."

"Auntie, do you think mom will like me in this outfit?" Lu Jing, excited and thrilled, did a twirl in front of Shen Yanhe. His big eyes looked at her expectantly.

Shen Yanhe felt a softness in her heart, rubbing his head: "No matter what little Jing wears, your mom will like it."

"Alright, get in the car, let’s go."

The group got into the car.

Two hours later.

The car arrived at a very secluded spot on the outskirts of a seaside city.

The place was heavily guarded, and even with Shen Yanhe leading the way, they had to go through several layers of checks before they could enter.

Shen Zhong knew she was bringing the family of the experimental subject, so he was waiting at the entrance early on.

As the car stopped, Shen Yanhe and her group got out.

"Yanyan," Shen Zhong waved at her: "I’ve already reported to the superiors, come with me."

Shen Yanhe nodded and, with a nervous Lu Jing in hand, followed.
