Married to the Male Lead’s Brother - Chapter 349

Chapter 349 – What was with that contempt look in Lu Jue’s eyes? (3)

Edited by: Lulu

Father Lu happened to come home right at that moment.

Mother Lu quickly walked up to her husband and started talking very fast. “When I saw Xiao Jue earlier, he reminded me of you when we had first gotten married.”

“He is my son. It is only normal that he is like me.” Father Lu’s stern look softened in front of his wife. All there was in his eyes was his love for her.

Mother Lu gave him a look. “I don’t mean his appearance.”

“Hmm?” Father Lu did not understand what his wife was saying at all.

Mother Lu ignored him. As she continued to think about her son and Ning Zhi’s improving relationship, she looked happier and happier. She decided to turn around and walk into the kitchen, having them prepare a separate set of soup that was good for replenishing the body.

Mother Lu brought the soup upstairs personally once the soup was ready.

When the door to their room opened, Lu Jue saw his mother standing outside. He blinked and stared at her silently, as if he was wondering what she was doing there.

“Where’s Xiao Zhi? I brought her soup,” said Mother Lu as she walked inside.

“Mom?”

Ning Zhi was a little surprised when she saw Mother Lu delivering the soup in person when she walked out of the bathroom. She quickly walked over and took the tray from her. “How come you brought this up yourself?”

“It’s fine. The soup had just finished cooking, so it’s a little bit hot. Let it cool down some before you drink it,” said Mother Lu gently. The way she looked at Ning Zhi was filled with tenderness.

“Okay, I will,” said Ning Zhi docilely.

Ning Zhi had just showered. The tips of her soft hair were wet, and they draped over her shoulder.

Under the light, her pearly little face was covered with water droplets. A hint of pink could be seen coming through. From Mother Lu’s perspective, she looked entirely like a beautiful blossoming flower. She was stunning.

“Xiao Zhi’s hair is still wet. Go get the towel and dry it for her.” Mother Lu wasn’t sure what to make out of it when she saw her son standing to one side and looking only at Ning Zhi.

Lu Jue had been interacting with Mother Lu as of late. He still didn’t talk much, but he would listen and even respond sometimes.

Lo and behold, Lu Jue remained silent, but he walked obediently toward the bathroom.

After her son had left the room, Mother Lu said to Ning Zhi in a lowered voice, “Don’t always let him have his way when he wants it.”

She carried on, “I’ll pay more attention in the future and have the kitchen prepare more replenishing soups for you. You are too skinny. You need more replenishment.”

All the mothers in the world felt that their children were too skinny and that they needed to gain more weight.

Both Mother Lu’s words and her look were very suggestive. Ning Zhi was smart, and she understood what Mother Lu was saying right away.

Her cheeks burned a little, embarrassed, but she still nodded docilely.

Lu Jue walked back out of the bathroom with a clean towel.

Mother Lu said to him, “Don’t mess around with Xiao Zhi for the next couple of days, and don’t be so clingy. Let her get some rest.”

Her son understood nothing. She worried that he didn’t know how to be nice to Ning Zhi and just toss her around all day.

She left after she had said all that she wanted to say.

Mother Lu felt warmth in her heart. She knew that was her feeling happy for her son finding his happiness.

Once upon a time, she thought that given her son’s personality and his condition, he would remain single for life.

How it was right now was great.

Lu Jue returned to the laboratory that morning.

“Good morning, Young Master Lu Jue.” Wei Xing was there early, and he seemed to be in good spirits. Holding inside his hand was breakfast prepared by his fiancée, Fang Yuzhou, with love.

Lu Jue nodded at him.

As Lu Jue’s advisor and not-so-reliable comrade, Wei Xing had a pretty good idea why Lu Jue had taken the day  off yesterday.

Seeing that nobody else was there yet, Wei Xing adjusted his glasses a little and asked in a secretive tone, “Were you successful yesterday, Young Master Lu Jue?”
