My Billionaire Husband Claimed Me His Precious-Chapter 785 - 604: Each With Their Own Plans
Thinking to himself: It seems Lu Xing is someone worth getting in touch with. Judging by how he talks about his relationship with Lu Qing without the slightest concealment, it appears the Lu Family has been going through some turbulence lately. A newly emerged half-brother vying for the inheritance—Lu Qing must be having a headache over this.
Lu Xing had been constantly adjusting his plans internally. Over the past few years, his desire to return to the Lu Family had grown increasingly urgent. Adding to that, his father had never been favored by the patriarch, and the situation had reached a point where it could no longer be postponed.
Now that Lu Qing was married, if he didn’t seize the opportunity, things would only become more difficult. Winning over the patriarch’s favor later would be even more challenging.
Ever since learning about Lu Qing’s marriage, Lu Xing’s focus had shifted. Though his previous encounter with Lu Qing ended in failure, he didn’t plan to give up just yet. Instead, he believed there might be another angle, another breakthrough to explore.
As he surveyed his surroundings, Lu Xing took advantage of a break in the evening to call his father. He gave him a brief report about the charity banquet. Yet, he couldn’t help but feel curious—he hadn’t seen Lu Qing anywhere till now. Normally, Lu Qing would attend such events, but after pondering the matter, his emotions began to shift.
"Who was that woman that night?"
At first, Lu Xing had thought it was Qin Miaomiao, but later, after verifying through various channels, he found out it wasn’t her. What puzzled him most was the ambiguous dynamic between Lu Qing and Qin Miaomiao—whether their feelings were strong or strained was hard to tell, yet there was an undeniable sense of mystery surrounding them.
"It seems I must get to the bottom of this matter."
Mo Wenwan was feeling a dull ache in her ankle. Unable to bear it, she wandered to a secluded corner, slipping off her high heels to inspect. She had injured her ankle before, and wearing heels taller than seven centimeters for extended periods was indeed a strain. But for the sake of beauty, she endured.
As she gently massaged her feet, her sharp gaze swept the surroundings. So far, she couldn’t quite articulate this discomfort, but luckily no one was paying attention.
Having finished his phone call, Lu Xing noticed something unexpected—a pair of women’s feet. Intrigued and cautious, he walked over, and to his surprise, he saw Mo Wenwan massaging her ankle after taking off her high heels.
To his amusement, her posture at the moment was surprisingly down-to-earth.
Initially, Lu Xing planned to simply observe for a moment before leaving, but the faint sound of her breathing caught Mo Wenwan’s attention. As Lu Xing instinctively took a step back, she quickly straightened up in alert.
"Who? Who’s there?"
Flustered, Mo Wenwan temporarily forgot the ache in her ankle. Barefoot, she stood up and shifted her gaze toward the man who emerged before her. Her emotions turned from panicked surprise to eventual relief.
"Oh, it’s Mr. Lu."
Immediately letting out a sigh of relief, Mo Wenwan bent down to pick up her high heels from the ground, casting a slightly uneasy glance at Lu Xing.
She hadn’t expected a small English tattoo to catch his attention, leaving her feeling somewhat embarrassed. She nodded awkwardly, "Yes, is it that noticeable?"
"Sorry, I wasn’t intentionally trying to snoop."
Lu Xing’s straightforward remark left Mo Wenwan unsure of how to respond.
Staring earnestly into his eyes, Mo Wenwan realized Lu Xing didn’t seem to have any intention of leaving. Carefully, she placed her high heels on the bottom step of the staircase and cautiously exposed her feet, preparing to bend down and put them back on.
As Lu Xing glanced unintentionally, his gaze lingered briefly on Mo Wenwan’s pale, delicate ankle. To his astonishment, he caught sight of an English tattoo on her ankle that made him freeze.
"Miss Mo, is that a tattoo on your ankle?"
