Be Careful, Scum Dad! Mommy Is Back!
Chapter 241 - Chapter 241 Chapter 241 Whose Man Got Thrown onto My Balcony

Chapter 241: Chapter 241: Whose Man Got Thrown onto My Balcony? Chapter 241: Chapter 241: Whose Man Got Thrown onto My Balcony? Ji Muye’s eyes sparkled with laughter as he scooped up Little Dumpling, who clung to his legs.

He strode towards the house where Lu Xining lived.

Following him out of the elevator was Shang Lvxing, who looked up and saw the man walking away, holding a little girl curiously gazing at him.

Lu Nuonuo hadn’t expected to see the uncle from the airport again, an uncle even more handsome than the handsome Uncle Zhou Jiawang.

She waved at him, smiling with a row of pearly white teeth.

Shang Lvxing also recognized the little girl’s identity.

Lu Xining’s daughter…

Knowing that her daughter had gone to scare Ji Muye, Lu Xining stayed in her room dealing with her laboratory work.

With Wang Snake and Lu Family’s bodyguard around, the child would be safe.

The door was not shut, and she could hear the conversation between Ji Muye and the child. She put down her computer, ready to go and fetch her daughter.

Sometimes, she couldn’t quite gauge her daughter’s feelings towards Ji Muye.

Dependency on her dad?

Not so much.

Affection for her dad?

It depended on whether she liked Ji Muye.

Whenever she thought of her daughter repeatedly saying she loved her mother, Lu Xining’s lips couldn’t help but curve into a smile.

Standing at the door, holding Little Dumpling, Ji Muye saw her tender smile just as he was about to enter. His dark gaze lingered on her lips for a long time.

Lu Xining looked up and before she could speak, she saw Shang Lvxing passing behind the father and daughter.

Their eyes unintentionally met. Her expression remained calm, but her alertness heightened. Why was he here?

Shang Lvxing also noticed the gaze from inside the room and turned his head to give her a meaningful glance.

It was unclear whether it was coincidental or intentional.

Shang Lvxing’s suite was right next to Lu Xining’s.

As night fell.

Lu Nuonuo had played until she was tired and had fallen asleep early.

Lu Xining stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows holding a cup of warm water, overlooking Victoria Harbour, her thoughts scattered.

Gong Yunxue’s global photography tour’s first stop would conclude successfully tomorrow.

Her two sons hadn’t come, and Lu Xining had no intention of staying here long. She had already booked a flight back to Jingzhou for the next evening.

Thinking of Shang Lvxing she had seen earlier, her grip on the water glass tightened.

Port City wasn’t very big nor too small, and recently, she had run into Shang Lvxing too often.

Just at that moment.

She heard noises outside her door.

“Brother, Brother Lvxing, it’s me, Yueling. Open the door, I need to talk to you.”

“Dad knows I’m here to see you, he said you should take good care of me, you can’t leave me outside alone, it’s dangerous.”

“Are you hiding a woman inside? Open the door, Shang Lvxing, open up!”

Before, she only knew that the Shang Family had found their lost daughter of over twenty years, not expecting her to be such a “lively” character.

Thinking of the icy Shang Lvxing, Lu Xining found it humorous that they seemed well-suited.

She thought Shang Yueling would leave after creating a fuss, but unexpectedly, she came knocking on her door.

Shang Yueling: “Hello, is anyone there?”

Lu Xining didn’t open the door, nor did she respond.

The bodyguard at the door had already started dissuading her, and she probably realized that people who could afford so many bodyguards were not ordinary.

But the design of the suites in Xiangxie Hotel was very special and clever. The living room balcony was very close to the neighboring one, making it possible to see directly into the living room of the suite next door.

Not only could tall men easily step across, even ordinary girls could pull over a chair and step over too.

It was said that at some point, this hotel’s suites were very much favored by certain big shots; the wife they were officially married to was inside, and the kept woman was next door.

Lu Xining heard Shang Yueling making a phone call at the doorstep.

Her voice was loud, probably intentionally meant for Shang Lvxing to hear that she was talking to Father Shang, pressuring him to open the door.

But the door next door was still closed.

Later, the person seemed to walk away; her voice was no longer audible, but soon staff came upstairs.

Lu Xining was uninterested in the soap opera-like scenario next door and was about to draw the curtains when she saw a man striding from the neighboring balcony to her side.

Lu Xining: “…”

Their eyes met, and Shang Lvxing appeared much more composed than she was.

Her room’s floor-to-ceiling window was locked from the inside.

Shang Lvxing, who seemed to be a principled man, had done something as outrageous as stepping across to another woman’s balcony at midnight. Lu Xining felt as though she had misjudged him.

All he did after crossing over was to stand calmly, just looking at her through the window.

Wanting no part in the complex emotional entanglements between Shang Lvxing and Shang Yueling, Lu Xining nodded at him and then, right before his eyes, pulled the curtain closed.

Listening to the noise in the hallway, Shang Yueling seemed to have entered the room next door.

As far as she knew, Shang Lvxing was an adopted son of the Shang Family.

He had been taken from the orphanage by the Shang Family since infancy, who provided him with the best resources and education.

The same age as Ji Muye.

And six or seven years older than Shang Yueling.

It seemed, nowadays, that Father Shang was grooming him to be the son-in-law he had brought up for his daughter.

After all, who could be more suitable for his beloved daughter than a son-in-law he personally trained to perfection?

Unfortunately…

The son-in-law was well-groomed, but he had lost his own daughter.

The world only knew of the cold-hearted and emotionless head of the Beicheng Family, who declared twenty years ago he had a daughter.

He even broke his personal habit and flamboyantly distributed wedding candy to the whole of Beicheng.

But aside from Father Shang, no one knew who the mother of this daughter was.

Lu Xining thought of her own mother, who had faced so many tearful days, her eyes coldening at the thought; whatever the identity of Shang Yueling’s mother, it had nothing to do with her.

Just as she turned to leave, she heard a knocking on the window.

Drawing back the curtain, Lu Xining looked at him indifferently: “What do you want?”

Shang Lvxing’s deep, magnetic voice sounded, “You name the terms.”

He could tell that Lu Xining was a very smart woman; no need for many words, she had understood his implication.

Was this his way of negotiating terms?

Lu Xining, standing behind the glass door, eyed the man up and down.

Ji Muye was reserved due to his childhood family environment, but Shang Lvxing had an inherent indifference towards human nature.

Some people seemed born devoid of human emotions.

Thinking of her mother’s description of Father Shang, Lu Xining realized Shang Lvxing not only perfectly met that man’s expectations, but he had even adopted his temperament.

Lu Xining nodded.

In front of him, she opened a crack in the door, and with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, locked eyes with him.

Then…

Lu Xining shouted loudly, “Oh my gosh! Come and see! Whose man is on my balcony–”

Shang Lvxing: “???”

Hearing the neighboring balcony door slide open, Lu Xining shut her glass door and once again, pulled the curtain closed.

Shang Lvxing: “…”
