My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 658 - 021:
"Uh..." Mu Lezhu said, giving an awkward smile and instinctively glanced at Lu Jingang. However, Lu Jingang didn’t look at her; he was leisurely enjoying his soup, showing no intention of joining the conversation.
In the end, Mu Lezhu gave up on him, not expecting anything from him, and after some serious consideration, she smiled and said, "Thank you, Aunt Lu, for your concern. I’m used to being alone. Moving in would be troublesome, and if anyone with ulterior motives uses it to create a narrative, it wouldn’t be good for Lu Mu Group now."
Mrs. Lu also glanced at her son, seeing him acting as if nothing had happened. She got upset and shot him a glare, knowing in her heart that there wasn’t much emotional foundation between the two of them. As his mother, she was naturally anxious and hoped they could develop their feelings because she knew that a relationship based on interests wouldn’t last.
But matters of the heart can’t be forced. As elders, they sometimes really couldn’t involve themselves too much; they were powerless!
"Alright, you’re still the thoughtful one. The outside world likes to make baseless claims, which aren’t really necessary to pay attention to. Moreover, since you and Xiao Jing are engaged now, and the wedding date is approaching day by day, moving in is only a matter of time, so don’t think too much about it, alright? Just keep your heart at ease; Xiao Jing will handle everything properly." Mrs. Lu said kindly, not forgetting to give Lu Jingang a look.
But Lu Jingang kept drinking his soup, not noticing her look at all.
This left Mrs. Lu quite irritated, and she kicked him under the table, causing Lu Jingang to flinch unexpectedly. He raised an eyebrow slightly and glanced at Mrs. Lu, but she gave him quite an unfriendly look. He said nothing, pressing his lips together as he continued his breakfast.
Mu Lezhu nodded in agreement with Mrs. Lu’s words, smiling, and said nothing more, lowering her head to continue eating her breakfast. When she had almost finished and was thinking about how to speak up, Lu Jingang put down his chopsticks first, and in a calm voice said, "I’m done eating, Mom, take your time." After saying this, he got up and went back to his dressing room to change clothes. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
Mrs. Lu didn’t pay him any mind, eating while continuing to chat and laugh with Mu Lezhu.
After about ten minutes, Lu Jingang came out dressed in a suit and tie, politely nodding at Mrs. Lu, "Mom, there’s a meeting at the company in a bit, I’ll head over first."
Seeing this, Mu Lezhu immediately got up, "Then I’ll go with you!" She said, turning to Mrs. Lu, "Aunt Lu, there’s something I need to attend to at the company, I’ll leave with him first and accompany you for a meal next time."
"Alright, alright, business comes first. Oh, tomorrow is the weekend; if you have time, come back for dinner tomorrow night! Your father will be home as well, and I’ll cook." Seeing them standing together so harmoniously, Mrs. Lu felt both gratified and happy.
Hearing that, Mu Lezhu first glanced at Lu Jingang and then still replied with a smile, "Alright, I need to go to the hospital to visit my grandfather tomorrow afternoon."
"Yes, Xiao Jing, accompany Lezhu to the hospital first tomorrow and then come back together for dinner, you hear?" Mrs. Lu nodded and directed her gaze at Lu Jingang.
Lu Jingang furrowed his brows, but due to Mrs. Lu’s sharp gaze, he could only reply coldly, "Got it." After speaking, he took his leave and walked out of the villa.
