My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 655 - 015:

Mu Lezhu was initially taken aback, unsure if it was her imagination; she thought he suddenly called her name to inform Aunt Chen about her identity, which would be awkward if she had to say it herself.

But after thinking this, she began to hesitate; was Lu Jingang, that big icy mountain, really so attentive and considerate?

Wasn’t it more likely that he just randomly called her to let her know he was awake?

"Um, hello." But these were just her speculations. Facing Aunt Chen’s enthusiastic greeting, Mu Lezhu naturally had to respond, given how difficult Lu Jingang was to please, which showed Aunt Chen’s strong character.

She certainly admired that.

She always thought someone like Lu Jingang, with his kind of personality, would normally live alone. Although there would be a housekeeper, they would come only a few times a week, not every morning like this to make breakfast, coming every day.

"Has Miss Mu washed up yet? Is there anything I can help you with?" Aunt Chen put down the handheld vacuum with great enthusiasm and asked with a big smile.

"Uh, I’ve washed up, thank you." Seeing Aunt Chen so enthusiastic, Mu Lezhu, who was originally calm and composed, felt a bit overwhelmed but still politely smiled in response.

"Then Miss Mu must be hungry! Please wait a moment; I’ll make breakfast now. Is there anything you dislike or avoid eating?"

Mu Lezhu was taken aback; the way she said it, it sounded like she was going to stay here from now on.

"There’s not... really anything I avoid."

"Alright, alright, please have a seat. Mr. Lu usually has breakfast at eight-thirty; he has a strong sense of time. It’s not yet eight o’clock; if you’re hungry, please have a cup of warm milk. I’ll pour it for you."

"No need, just do your own thing. Don’t mind me."

"Alright, feel free to look around. There’s a courtyard at the back with a nice view, and the morning air is very fresh." Aunt Chen, finding Mu Lezhu approachable and easy to talk to, felt no pressure at all.

After tidying up the handheld vacuum, Aunt Chen went to the kitchen to get busy, leaving Mu Lezhu as the most idle person in the house, not knowing what to do.

After standing in confusion for a while, Mu Lezhu instinctively turned to glance in the direction where Lu Jingang had just appeared but quickly looked away, glancing around and focusing on the backyard Aunt Chen had mentioned. After pondering a bit, with nothing else to do, she walked lightly towards the double glass doors.

The backyard was quite large with a pavilion, refined and rather traditional. Though simple, it retained a sense of grandeur, and overall, it looked nice.

The spring morning sunlight felt warm on her body, seemingly gilding her with a layer of thin gold, giving her a very cozy and warm appearance. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

After strolling around, Mu Lezhu felt it was enough. Just as she was leaving the pavilion to head back inside, she saw Lu Jingang, dressed in a white sweater, one hand in his pants pocket and the other holding a coffee, standing at the doorway. His expression was still indifferent, but his cold gaze just happened to sweep over.

Mu Lezhu was momentarily stunned, but once she realized it, she smiled lightly and greeted him: "Morning."
