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

Lu Ning was startled.

She looked up at him: "Can't I just ask? After all, I wasn't told I couldn't come to the garden whenever I wanted."

She's not allowed to go anywhere except the wine cellar.

At this moment, the butler came over and asked, "Miss Lu, what's wrong?"

Lu Ning looked around: "Nothing, does the garden need to be renovated?"

"Yes, after all, we need to redecorate to prepare for the young lady's birthday party."

"But we didn't tell the young lady any of this. We just told everyone it was for renovations, so we could give her a surprise!"

Lu Ning was stunned; she hadn't expected preparations to begin so quickly.

The butler continued, "These are all instructions from the young master. He wants to make sure the young lady has an unforgettable birthday party."

Lu Ning looked up at the building, but the man was no longer there.

Lu Ning looked at the housekeeper and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not tiring at all, we all like Miss Lu very much." Miss Lu, please get some rest.

The butler left after he finished speaking.

Lu Ning stood there alone, looking at the decoration materials, all of which were for her daughter's birthday party.

She touched the materials: "I'm inexplicably a little moved."

This must be a very memorable birthday for my daughter.

"You're already moved? You're really easily moved."

A cold, icy voice came from behind Lu Ning.

She turned around and saw Ji Chiqian standing behind her, wearing dark pajamas and holding two glasses of wine.

The man placed the cup beside her: "Want some?"

"Tsk, didn't I promise the child I wouldn't drink? I'll tell her about it later."

Ji Chiqian didn't say anything, but tilted his head back and took a sip of wine.

Lu Ning saw the red wine next to her and said, "Don't try to tempt me."

"Do you want to be tempted?"

"..."

Ji Chiqian looked at the decoration materials next to him: "You need to check if there are any problems with these, and what else she wants."

"Do you get her anything she wants?"

The man beside her remained remarkably calm: "Yes."

Lu Ning was inexplicably struck by how cool that word was.

She casually picked up the wine glass: "Mr. Ji, there's something I've wanted to ask you for a long time."

"You could shut up."

Ji Chiqian knew without even thinking that this woman was unlikely to say anything nice.

Lu Ning continued, "Mr. Ji, are you really keen to become a father unexpectedly?"

Ji Chiqian choked on the alcohol.

He turned to look at Lu Ning: "Can't you say something nice?"

"Stop pretending. After all, you're really good to my daughter. Even a fool can see what you're up to."

Lu Ning smiled and said, "Since you're so good to my daughter, why don't you become her godfather?"

Ji Chiqian paused, his hand still: "Are you out of your mind?"

He's the child's godfather?

Was Lu Ning doing this on purpose? What if it turns out the child really is Ji Mo's? Wouldn't that be a huge embarrassment?

He squinted, scrutinizing Lu Ning in front of him.

What exactly is this woman plotting?

Lu Ning sensed that Ji Chiqian was doubting her, so she looked over and asked, "Isn't this suggestion good for you?"

She thought about it for a long time before making the decision.

Ji Chiqian's tone turned much colder: "I told you to keep your little schemes to yourself. I have no interest in being a godfather."

Lu Ning gripped her wine glass: "Stop! What do you mean by that?"

"The literal meaning, I think you should understand it very well."

Ji Chiqian looked at her and said, "Don't try to use the child to get closer to me."

Do you think I'm trying to please you by using the child?

"if not?"

Ji Chiqian's eyes scrutinized him: "Isn't everything you've done for ulterior motives?"

Lu Ning laughed angrily: "Yes, I had ulterior motives. Mr. Ji is very clever."

So don't do boring things.

"You're right, I did something pointless."

Lu Ning put the cup back, turned around and stormed off.

She walked and cursed, she must have been out of her mind to say that to Ji Chiqian.

Ji Chiqian, you bastard.

Ji Chiqian watched her retreating figure, tilted his head back and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, but why did the wine taste a little bitter this time?

Is it an illusion?

However, he did nothing wrong; he absolutely must not fall for this woman's scheme.

Although he hasn't yet found out why this woman deliberately approached the Ji family, he cannot let his guard down.

The next day, Lu Ning looked at the adorable little baby after getting up.

"Mommy, what's wrong?"

"Um, if I said I was leaving here, would you be sad?"

As soon as Lu Ning finished speaking, the little boy's eyes turned red, and tears streamed down his face.

Lu Ning quickly hugged her daughter: "Why are you crying? I just made a suggestion, I didn't say I was leaving right away."

The little boy sobbed, "Can I...can I wait until after my birthday to leave? Did my third uncle come looking for me?"

When Lu Ning heard the words "third uncle," her heart ached so much she could hardly breathe.

She wiped away her daughter's tears: "Okay, I didn't say I wanted it. I just felt bad about always living at other people's houses. I can buy a villa and live in it ourselves. You can also come to the Ji family's house to play."

"Is that so? Weren't you leaving?"

The little girl spoke while tears kept streaming down her face.

Lu Ning felt heartbroken looking at him: "Yes, we won't leave. Mommy promised you that we'll live here from now on."

What if my third uncle finds out?

Lu Ning smiled and said, "Then let's break off all pretense. I don't want to live that kind of life. We have our own ideas too, don't we?"

The little boy nodded vigorously: "Okay!"

"Then stop crying, go wash up and change your clothes."

Looking at the little boy's back, Lu Ning felt somewhat helpless. Would it be too deliberate to say that she was moving out now?

But she really doesn't want to face that guy Ji Chiqian right now.

When Lu Ning went downstairs for dinner, she saw that man appear, and her heart beat faster.

She now deeply regrets saying those words last night.

After Ji Chiqian sat down at the dining table, he glanced at the little girl and asked, "Why are you crying?"

Lu Ning was stunned. Was this man's observation skills really that sharp?

The little boy suddenly felt a bit guilty and could only look at Lu Ning for help.

Lu Ning gave Ji Chiqian a forced smile: "This is our secret. Mr. Ji's curiosity is a bit too much."

Ji Chiqian clicked his tongue; those words were rather provocative.

Madam Ji quickly smoothed things over, saying, "Alright, alright, let's eat first."

Mrs. Ji took her child to school as usual.

Ji Chiqian walked up to Lu Ning and said, "You..."

However, Lu Ning completely ignored Ji Chiqian, pretending not to see him, and turned away.

Ji Chiqian narrowed his eyes slightly: "Stop!"

Lu Ning snorted coldly: "Who do you think you are, telling me to stop just because you want me to?"

She left angrily.

She absolutely will not forgive this man.
