After Miss Lu became the only one to enjoy the limelight, her six brothers knelt down and begged for

As Lu Ning uttered the name, it felt somewhat familiar.

It’s weird.

Is it because I'm back that everything feels familiar?

The fact that the Chen family is investigating them—is it because the news family wants to sell information?

Or perhaps Gu Zifeng has become suspicious of her because of the many troubles he's been facing lately?

Perfect timing, she also wanted to see what Gu Zifeng was capable of.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Ning called her son, Lu Zhao, directly.

"Mommy, is something the matter?"

My son's cool voice came from the other end of the phone.

"What, can't I contact you if there's nothing wrong? Can't I miss my son, so I call to ask how he is?"

Lu Zhao was a little embarrassed: "I'm a bit busy, so please speak quickly."

"Ahem, how are things going with you and that man?"

"Of course, he's been having a lot of bad luck lately. I haven't had enough fun yet, so I'll let him have a breakdown for a while first."

Lu Ning knew this would happen; given her son's personality, he was indeed capable of doing such a thing.

"Mommy, that man is so stupid. Are you sure he's the one who drove us to this point?"

Lu Ning continued, "I called to warn you to be careful and not to be fooled by that man's facade. He's secretly investigating us."

"What? That's impossible. My men have been monitoring his movements."

“I have received news that the Chen family is investigating him, but he has not shown up in person.”

Lu Zhao pursed his lips: "I heard that the Chen family's position was inherited by a disabled daughter."

"Don't underestimate her. The fact that she was able to take that position means she's capable. You need to be careful and not mess things up."

"I understand, Mommy. I will be careful."

After giving her son some instructions, Lu Ning finally felt relieved.

If her family wants to stay here in the future, they must establish themselves firmly.

Now that Gu Zifeng is out of the country, it's a great opportunity to make a move.

Lu Ning knew almost immediately what she had to do.

Just then, the little girl walked in: "Mommy, when am I leaving?"

"I'm not leaving for now. Mommy has work to take care of here before I go."

After Lu Ning finished speaking, the little girl was overjoyed.

After all, she really wanted to stay and live here.

Lu Ning lay on the bed to rest, then sent a message to her subordinates to arrange what she needed to do next.

Lu Ning changed her clothes and went downstairs for dinner.

Since I'm staying at someone else's house, I still have to show up for dinner.

As Lu Ning stepped out of her room, she saw the room at the end of the corridor.

She had dreamed about this room.

Lu Ning couldn't help but walk over, but she hesitated.

After all, it was just a dream.

Could it be that the room inside is completely different from the one in my dream?

At that moment, the door opened by itself.

Ji Chiqian stood in the doorway, looking down at her: "Miss Lu, are you standing outside my bedroom with ulterior motives, trying to steal something, or are you trying to throw yourself into my arms?"

Lu Ning never expected that this bedroom was actually where he lived.

What bad luck!

She said dreams shouldn't be believed, and that it made her lose face so badly.

Ji Chiqian pressed on, "Miss Lu, are you shy, or do you just not know how to defend yourself?"

Lu Ning gritted her teeth; this man's words were indeed very annoying.

She looked up and said, "I think Mr. Ji has misunderstood."

Ji Chiqian leaned against the door, wearing an expression that said, "Look at you making this up."

Lu Ning continued, "I came here specifically to invite you downstairs for dinner, but I didn't expect Mr. Ji to have such a wild imagination."

"So, Miss Lu noticed I was staying in this room so early on? I didn't expect you to pay so much attention to me?"

This man really doesn't back down at all.

Lu Ning continued, "After all, I'll be your aunt in the future, so it's only natural for me to show more concern for the younger generation. You get along so well with my daughter, so I should show more concern for you, her older brother, on her behalf."

Ji Chiqian's smile faded.

He looked at Lu Ning and said, "You'd better stop dreaming. The Ji family will never accept a woman like you."

"Don't worry, even if I become best friends with your mother and your grandmother, I will never have any ulterior motives towards you. Don't worry, you won't have such worries!"

After Lu Ning finished speaking, she turned and left.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief; thank goodness, she had almost been overpowered by this man.

Although she hasn't had much freedom these past few years, she has everything she wants, and no one dares to challenge her.

This is the first time I've met a man with such a sharp tongue.

I really don't know what this man's ex-girlfriend could possibly have thought of him.

Is it just about looks?

This man's only redeeming quality is his face.

Ji Chiqian stared at Lu Ning's retreating figure with a scrutinizing look in his eyes. This woman was definitely suspicious.

Otherwise, why would he wander around the villa in the middle of the night, and now try to sneak into his own room?

If he hadn't been delayed by answering the phone, this woman would have been able to sneak into his room.

Ha, you still say you have no designs on me? Doesn't that give you away?

Ji Chiqian sneered and followed him downstairs.

Lu Ning was already seated at the dining table, with a cute little child beside her.

Ji Chiqian stared at the woman.

Madam Ji: "What are you still standing there for? Come and eat."

Ji Chiqian walked over nonchalantly.

When Lu Ning saw the approaching man, she pretended not to see him and instead looked down to interact with the little girl: "Daughter, eat more of this."

The little boy tilted his head and looked at Ji Chiqian beside him, then directly put some food on his plate.

Ji Chiqian smiled and said, "Thanks."

For the sake of the little one, I'll let bygones be bygones with this woman for now.

The meal was finished quickly.

Mrs. Ji looked at Lu Ning: "Miss Lu, what are your plans for today?"

"I originally planned to take my daughter with me, but I had some work to deal with at the last minute, so I'll have to be delayed for a few days."

Lu Ning looked at Xiao Xingyue: "But it's not good for us to keep staying here and bothering you, so..."

"Oh, no trouble at all. With you all living here, my old life has become much more interesting."

After Mrs. Ji finished speaking, Mrs. Ji continued, "That's right, Miss Lu and I hit it off immediately. You can stay here without worry and treat it as your own home."

Ji Chiqian put down his chopsticks: "Miss Lu must be very busy with work. So if you feel embarrassed, you can let Xiao Xingyue stay at the Ji family home, and you can go out and take your time with your work."

The implication was that Lu Ning should move out and leave the child behind.

Lu Ning understood immediately. She sighed and said, "Mr. Ji is right. My daughter has already bothered everyone enough. How can I, an adult, continue to bother them?"

Madam Ji glared at Ji Chiqian: "Miss Lu, don't listen to his nonsense. We all welcome you to stay here."

"Yes, how can you, as the child's mother, separate from her?"

Grandma Ji looked at Ji Chiqian and said, "Miss Lu is a guest I invited. You are not qualified to decide whether my guest stays or leaves."

Ji Chiqian: "..."

Lu Ning turned her head to look at Ji Chiqian, "How is it?"
