My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 668 - 031: The Old Master’s Dissatisfaction

The sharp and questioning gaze, coupled with his demeanor, made Mu Lezhu feel deeply displeased after hearing and seeing it, her brows instantly furrowing, always feeling like there was more behind his words.

"Indeed, there isn’t much interaction, but the old lady of Mingyuan Airline is my grandaunt. Although our family’s contact dwindled after her passing, the relationship still exists! Qi Mingyao and I studied abroad together. When my grandfather fell ill before, Chairman Qi and Qi Mingyao visited separately." Although she really disliked his high-and-mighty tone, she found herself truthfully explaining regardless.

After explaining, Mu Lezhu pursed her lips and asked, "Why do I feel like you’re questioning me?"

"Am I?"

"Aren’t you?"

"I didn’t ask you to answer, you spoke on your own."

Hearing his completely unreasonable yet slightly obstinate tone truly refreshed her perception and worldview about him.

Was this really the lofty, indifferent, and noble Lu Jingang?

Are you sure he isn’t possessed by a ghost?

Mu Lezhu was rendered speechless, giving him a glare in exasperation, putting down her coffee, her demeanor returning to its usual aloofness: "You’ve asked your questions, and I’ve answered. If you have no other business, go ahead! I’ll stay here alone for a while until my grandfather wakes up."

"Chasing me away?"

Mu Lezhu looked at him incredulously: "Where did you get the idea that I’m chasing you away? I’m just worried you’ll delay your afternoon matters."

"Not much going on." Lu Jingang crossed his legs, his long fingers tapping lightly on his leg, exhibiting an obstinate attitude of staying when she wants him gone.

"Suit yourself, stay if you want to!" Mu Lezhu rolled her eyes at him, turned around, and went inside the house.

Lu Jingang’s expression remained unchanged, but his peripheral vision followed her movements until she disappeared from his sight, whereupon he indifferently withdrew his gaze, his previously tense posture quickly relaxing.

Lu Jingang, having the habit of taking afternoon naps, dozed off for a while after Mu Lezhu went inside.

Around 3:30, when the old man awoke and sounds came from inside, he got up, glanced at the room, shook his head slightly, got up, and went to the washroom to wipe his face with a towel.

When he came out again, he saw the old man sitting in a wheelchair, being pushed out by Mu Lezhu.

Although the old man couldn’t walk because of a stroke, his mind wavered between clarity and confusion. He recognized Lu Jingang at once but didn’t show much joy.

It’s not that he disliked Lu Jingang; he just understood too well the kind of cold, detached businessman Lu Jingang was. He was a qualified business tycoon and a competent corporate president, but the old man knew he would never be a suitable husband. Deep down, the old man always felt that marrying his cherished granddaughter to Lu Jingang was indeed unfair to her. However, it appeared to be the last resort, the best of the worst options.

"Old Master." Lu Jingang politely nodded at the old man, his tone full of respect.

The old man nodded: "Thanks for the trouble, coming to see this old bag of bones. How have you been recently?"

"Everything’s been good."

"Mm, I have no worries about your work, but you’ll need to pay more attention to the Mu Family side. Lezhu is gentle by nature and can’t manage matters as decisively as you."

"You’re too kind, sir. Now that our families have merged, it’s only right to invest effort."

"Mm, true enough. But you should also watch your health. I heard you were a workaholic, so balance is key."

"You’re absolutely right, sir."
