Indulging Mrs. Lu

Chapter 1058 - 1055: The Grand Finale

Noticing her unusual silence, Lu Jincheng asked, "What’s wrong?"

"Lu Jincheng, I can’t believe it; we’re really married." Leng Shuangshuang looked at him, a bright smile adorning her face.

He chuckled and extended his hand toward her, "Mrs. Lu, please guide me through the rest of my life."

At the Lu Family home, Lu Xinyun received Lu Jincheng’s message and couldn’t help but pout, "Mom, my brother is showing off to me."

With that, she directed the phone screen towards Xiao Qing, the picture displayed a large hand holding a slender one, with matching rings on their ring fingers.

Xiao Qing laughed, "What, do you have a problem with that?"

"Of course not." Lu Xinyun withdrew her phone, then turned to look at Xiao Yin and his uncle.

"Uncle Yang, aren’t you playing a few more days here?"

Yang Zi looked at her affectionately, "Things are settled here, and it’s time for me to go." The kids over there were waiting for him to return to teach.

Lu Xinyun seemed displeased, "Xiao Yin, are you leaving too?"

"Yeah, if I don’t go back soon, my dad will come over to haul me back."

Who knows why his dad is so wary of his uncle; he’s been calling day after day, urging him nonstop to return, it’s truly unbearable!

Lu Xinyun wanted to say more but heard Lu Jinyang speak up, "Since you’re leaving, I won’t keep you. I’ll send you an invitation when Jinchen hosts the banquet."

"That will take so long!" Lu Xinyun was quite displeased.

Yang Zi laughed, "Girl, if you want me to come back early, you could get married sooner, before your brother does."

His words were only meant as a tease, but Lu Xinyun couldn’t help blushing.

"Oh, stop it, I’m not talking to you anymore!"

Every time she heard things like this, Lu Xinyun would reflexively think of Nangong Xuan.

Thinking of this, Lu Xinyun found an excuse to head upstairs.

As soon as she closed her door, her phone rang—it was Nangong Xuan calling.

Lu Xinyun’s hand shook, almost dropping the phone; she stared at the caller display for quite a while before answering.

"Lu Xinyun, I’m leaving tomorrow."

"Huh?"

"Back to the manor."

Lu Xinyun was startled, "Wasn’t it supposed to be next month?"

A light sigh came from his end, so soft, yet she could clearly hear it.

Lu Xinyun was utterly unhappy; was today some special day that everyone was leaving?

In a huff, she said, "You’re leaving, just go—why tell me?"

There was a momentary silence on the other end, followed by the sound of a low chuckle.

"Why are you laughing?" she asked.

"Laughing at you."

Lu Xinyun was irritated, "Nangong Xuan, why pick today to laugh at me more than any other day?" Didn’t he know she was already feeling battered today?

"Xinyun, I want to see you."

The deep voice came softly through the phone line, immediately cooling her anger, and she reluctantly asked, "I can’t go out now; why don’t you come over here, since you have to say goodbye to my parents anyway."

After a brief silence on the other end, his voice came again: "Alright~"

In the evening, when Nangong Xuan arrived, Lu Jincheng and Leng Shuangshuang had also returned; he teased them, "Congrats on the wedding; may you soon have children."

Lu Jincheng nodded, accepting the blessing, and took Leng Shuangshuang’s hand to sit beside her.

"Xiao Xuan, I heard from Xinyun you’re leaving today; is it so sudden?"

"Yes. Actually, there’s something else I came over for too..." Nangong Xuan paused, then looked at Lu Xinyun, "I want to take Xinyun back with me."

For a brief moment, silence fell over the living room.

Lu Jinyang, who had been reading the newspaper, stopped and set it down. Just when everyone thought he would throw Nangong Xuan out, his next words surprised them all.

"Xinyun, go pack your things and go with him."

Lu Xinyun’s mouth dropped open in shock, "Dad~"

"Don’t want to go?"

Lu Xinyun looked at Lu Jinyang, then at Xiao Qing, and promptly got up and ran upstairs.

If not now, then when should she pack?

Leng Shuangshuang and Lu Jincheng exchanged smiles, neither offering comments.

That night, Lu Jinyang embraced Xiao Qing, doing nothing more than holding her for sleep. After a while, Xiao Qing asked him, "Why did you suddenly have a change of heart?"

He pulled her tighter into his arms, "I never said Little Bao couldn’t marry; besides, with everyone starting their own families, no one can compete with me for your attention anymore."

Xiao Qing laughed, "Indeed, we can enjoy our days together, just the two of us."
