Lu Zhao looked at Luo Ying’s smile. He reached out, lifted Luo Ying’s chin, and kissed her. It was a long and gentle kiss.
Luo Ying was dazed by Lu Zhao’s sudden kiss.
But one thing was for sure—Lu Zhao was jealous.
“Are you jealous?” Luo Ying said with a smile.
!!
Lu Zhao hugged her tightly and didn’t answer. Even so, his actions said it all.
“I know. It’s okay. You’re much more handsome than him in my heart,” Luo Ying said while holding back her laughter.
Lu Zhao was quite cute when he was jealous.
Lu Zhao hugged her even tighter. “I don’t know why, but I’m always afraid that you’ll leave me. I’m afraid that you’ll suddenly become a different person one day and ignore me.”
“I won’t, don’t worry.” Luo Ying’s heartstrings were inexplicably tugged at by Lu Zhao’s expression. This man’s love for her was deeper than she had imagined.
“I won’t leave you, don’t worry. I promise I will always love you,” said Luo Ying.
Lu Zhao nodded.
The two of them fell onto the bed in each other’s arms and slowly fell asleep.
When she woke up again, it was already bright outside.
Lu Zhao had already returned to the company to deal with some matters. On the table was a note: Get ready after you eat. I’ll take you to a family dinner tonight.
The family dinner Lu Zhao was talking about was none other than Grandfather Lu’s birthday.
Lu Zhao wasn’t close to his family.
Luo Ying recalled the plot in the novel.
Lu Zhao was the illegitimate son of Grandfather Lu’s eldest son. Grandfather Lu had four sons and two daughters.
These two daughters were not easy to deal with, either. Neither of them ever got lawfully married, but they had brought in men to live under the same roof as the rest of the family.
In the original novel, the daughter of the Lu family’s first daughter, Lu Yao, was Su Ran’s good friend.
The original Luo Ying had been at odds with Lu Yao, so she would have to expect trouble from her.
However, she was not afraid. With Lu Zhao around, she felt assured.
At night, in the Lu Family’s old mansion, Lu Yao was talking to her cousin, Lu Yu.
“I heard that the b*tch is coming too.” Lu Yu said. Whenever she mentioned Luo Ying, she would always use uncouth words.
“Su Ran told me that this woman shamelessly went to the Lin Family’s banquet a few days ago, and now she’s coming to our Lu Family. I really don’t know what our dear cousin is thinking, letting this woman embarrass our family. He’s really lost it,” Lu Yao said.
Both of them hated Luo Ying and would often badmouth her when they were together.
“You two, be careful. Lu Zhao is bringing her back today for a reason. If Lu Zhao hears about this, wouldn’t he wring your necks?” The eldest Lu Family daughter, Lu He, spoke up. She was a little worried. After all, her husband was working closely with the Lu Group.
“She’s just a small-time actress. She does have a decent family background, but she’s just an actress. It’s not like anyone will hear what I’m saying. What’s there to worry about?” Lu Yu said.
Lu Yao also chimed in from the side. “That’s right, mom. She’s just a lucky actress who got into a relationship with Brother. Besides, she’s never been to our family’s banquet before.”
“Ahem.” A sudden cough broke the silence in the living room.
The three of them turned to look at Lu Zhao and Luo Ying. They had shown up, and Luo Ying was holding on to Lu Zhao’s arm.
Where did this woman find the audacity to show up here? She was shameless!
“Sister-in-law, you’re here. Hope you haven’t lost your way,” Lu Yao said unhappily. “This is the Lu Family, not the Lin Family.”
Lu He patted her daughter’s hand, indicating for her to stop spouting nonsense.
“I have nothing to do with the Lin family. I’m Lu Zhao’s wife. If I don’t show up here, where else, then?” Luo Ying smiled and looked at everyone in the living room.
Lu Yao was a little surprised to see Luo Ying. Luo Ying and Lu Zhao looked very intimate today, and the makeup on Luo Ying’s face was completely different from usual. It was no longer the caked-up, overdone makeup, but it was clean, clear. It did not get in the way of her features, but complimented them.
“Ms. Lu He, Master Lu Zhao, please come with me. The Master and the Lady are waiting for you upstairs.” The family’s steward, Li, walked over and spoke politely.
Lu Zhao patted Luo Ying’s arm. “I’ll head up first. You stay here. Call me if you need anything.”
Luo Ying nodded and watched Lu Zhao go upstairs.
