She had never doubted Gu Yuzhi, but now her heart was pounding with thoughts, and her face became even more ugly.
There was a sudden pain on her fingertips, and she flinched before finally coming to her senses.
It was "Jin Shaoheng" who helped her hold the wound again.
"Be patient," he said, with a tenderness in his tone that even he had not noticed.
Lu Xining didn't seem to hear it, and kept staring at the screen.
He followed her gaze to the news and asked, "Do you know her?"
Lu Xining looked at him then, or she might have subconsciously thought of him as Jin Shaoheng. Unfortunately, his reaction was too bland, as if he was talking about an unrelated person.
Lu Xining nodded honestly and said: "Former colleagues."
The man seemed to frown and said, "He seems to be from the Jin family in the past."
"You know?" Lu Xining was surprised.
The man nodded, but didn't explain much.
He took away the hand that was pressing her wound and saw that the blood had stopped flowing. He disinfected her and put a band-aid on her.
Jin Shaoheng put the things in the medicine box and put them away. Only then did Lu Xining remember the unfinished dishes in the kitchen, so he got up and went to the kitchen.
Jin Shaoheng followed over and frowned, "Let's order takeout."
Lu Xining had just put the vegetables into the bowl and asked, "How about you come and help me?"
"Me?" Jin Shaoheng pointed at himself suspiciously. At first glance, he was the kind of person who "keeps his fingers dry".
Lu Xining nodded affirmatively.
Jin Shaoheng had no choice but to walk in.
Lu Xining pushed the bowl to him: "This is the last cold dish. It has been cut. Just mix it and it's ready for dinner."
Jin Shaoheng didn't shirk. He watched her put in the various seasonings and put on disposable gloves to mix them.
"Okay, have a taste." Lu Xining commanded.
Jin Shaoheng took off his gloves, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. There was no expression on his face.
"Isn't it delicious?" Lu Xining asked.
Jin Shaoheng looked at the way she was looking at him, and suddenly didn't want to answer, so he took a piece and put it to her mouth.
Lu Xining only thought that he had put in too much, so he opened his mouth and ate it without suspecting him.
The cucumber is mixed with the spiciness of coriander and pepper, which is very refreshing and there is nothing wrong with it.
"It's delicious." She looked at him confused.
"Yeah." Jin Shaoheng nodded, then took out the plate and put it on the plate.
Since there was no problem, what else would she let herself taste?
Lu Xining thought something was strange, but he had already brought the dishes out and asked Jin Muxi to start eating.
Lu Xining injured his hand, so he sat at the table with Jin Muxi and watched Jin Shaoheng coming in and out, picking up bowls, chopsticks, and serving rice.
Jin Muxi was also very well-behaved. When Lu Xining was inconvenienced, he clumsily peeled shrimps for her to eat.
"Be careful and don't worry about it." Lu Xining warned.
"It's okay." Jin Muxi insisted, then put the shrimp meat into her bowl and said, "Eat."
"Jin Muxi, your food is getting cold." Jin Shaoheng reminded.
His voice was originally cold, but now it sounded more like dissatisfaction.
Also, how could such a superior person like him allow his son to serve her?
Uh, maybe he's jealous.
"But Lu Xining's hand is injured." Jin Muxi replied aggrievedly.
"Go wash your hands." Jin Shaoheng was not soft-hearted.
Jin Muxi did not move, showing his own stubbornness.
Lu Xining couldn't help it, and she wasn't at the point where she wanted a child to serve her.
Since he didn't want to go, I took a wet wipe to help him wipe his hands clean, and comforted him by saying, "Auntie doesn't like shrimps."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a shrimp put into his bowl.
She looked along that hand and realized it was "Jin Shaoheng". He didn't even raise his head. The movements of his hand were slow but very elegant.
Jin Muxi saw them and finally started eating again, but his eyes glanced back and forth on the faces of his father and Lu Xining.
"Mr. Jin——" Lu Xining did not adapt to his "consideration".
"Yeah." Jin Shaoheng responded.
"Okay." Lu Xining said.
She felt that it would be better for them to eat quietly between them, and she was not used to this kind of behavior.
"Yeah." He responded with one word again, but his hand movements did not stop.
Just like that, half of the plate of shrimps piled up into a hill in her bowl, and a small part went into Jin Muxi's stomach.
He just wanted his son to eat in peace.
Lu Xining thought about it and didn't think it was anything.
After the meal, Jin Muxi naturally pestered Jin Shaoheng since he hadn't seen him for several days.
He helped Jin Muxi take a bath, and the two of them lay on the bed and told stories.
Lu Xining just enjoyed the peace and quiet.
Jin Shaoheng put Jin Muxi to sleep, and when he came out, he saw Lu Xining standing in front of the French window, seemingly in a trance.
In fact, she had been absent-minded since she saw the news.
Jin Shaoheng came over.
Perhaps the sound of footsteps alarmed her, so Lu Xining turned around and asked, "Is Mu Xi sleeping?"
"Yeah." Jin Shaoheng replied.
He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the night view of the Bund.
Compared with the living room, the light here is darker, and the neon lights fall on his face, making it difficult to see clearly.
But the harder it is to see the mask on his face, the more it gives people the illusion that he is Jin Shaoheng.
Lu Xining felt that she must have gone crazy. She collected herself and said, "Mr. Jin, I'll go back first."
Jin Shaoheng then remembered that she seemed to live in the children's room. He had just put Jin Muxi to sleep, so she naturally had nowhere to go.
"There are many rooms, you can choose one at will." Although he did not reach out to grab her, he moved his body slightly, trying to block her way.
Lu Xining only felt that the two of them seemed to be closer, but he didn't care. He just said: "No need."
Now that Jin Shaoheng is back, it's not suitable for her to live here.
Seeing that he seemed to frown again, he said: "Don't worry, Mr. Jin, I will rush over as soon as possible tomorrow morning and won't delay your business."
"But I have to leave at 4 o'clock in the morning." Jin Shaoheng said.
"..." So early?
Then wouldn't she have to get up at around 3 o'clock and rush over?
Seeing her hesitation, Jin Shaoheng said: "Miss Lu, please go to bed early."
After saying that, she turned around and went back to her room. Her cold look seemed like she was being sentimental.
Lu Xining really didn't want to get up so early. After thinking about it for a while, he finally went to the children's room.
There is an extra man in this room. I always feel safer with Jin Muxi.
Just lying down, I smelled a man's scent between my nose.
Only then did she remember that the man had just been lying there...
Because of the manager's matter, Lu Xining didn't keep pretentious for too long, but he didn't sleep peacefully this night.
She was in a daze and finally fell asleep at three o'clock in the morning.
The next day, I woke up and found that it was already 8 o'clock, and Jin Muxi was no longer around.
She was startled, fearing that the child would run out.
"Mu Xi!" Lu Xining got out of bed to look for him.
The house was very big, and everything was quiet except for the sound of her panicked footsteps.
But she searched almost everywhere, but there was no sign of Jin Muxi.
Where can such a small person go?
When she found the master bedroom, she hesitated and opened the door, not wanting the person inside to come out.
The two of them bumped into each other, and he almost stepped on her, so he subconsciously avoided it, but he still tripped.
Suddenly, she was pressed against the opposite wall by him.
The momentum caused her to hit her head on the wall, but there was no pain as expected. It was him who protected her with one hand.
Lu Xining was a little dazed, but he didn't notice that because of this action, the two of them were already very close, so close that their lips almost stuck together.
