In an instant, Lu Ning stopped talking and even slowed her movements.

As Lu Jingzhi strolled over from somewhere he stood in front of Lu Ning, eyeing them.

When Lu Ning looked up, she noticed him staring at Huo Jinyan irritatedly.

She immediately raised her hand to signal him to keep his voice down.

Lu Jingzhi pouted unhappily and gestured at Lu Ning.

Lu Ning gawked at him, and did not understand him until he did it a second time.

Oh, keeping a ‘safe distance’!

Holding back her laughter, Lu Ning could only apologize to him quietly.

“I’m sorry. He’s very pitiable, he hasn’t even slept for two days. When he wakes up, I’ll stay away from him, okay?”

Lu Jingzhi glanced at Huo Jinyan, who was sleeping soundly, and then turned to look at Lu Ning; then, he nodded reluctantly. “Okay.”

Immediately, Lu Ning beamed and praised him. “Jingzhi is so obedient! Sister loves you the most.”

Lu Jingzhi’s eyes lit up as his lips curled into a smile. He went to sit at the back shyly.

Smiling, Lu Ning continued calculating the data in her hands.

Lu Ning was done calculating before the plane landed.

She placed the project folder on the table.

When Huo Jinyan woke up, he was woken up by Chu Ting.

“President Huo… President Huo, we’re here.”

When Huo Jinyan woke up, he only saw Chu Ting; he could not see Lu Ning anywhere.

Chu Ting promptly added, “President Huo, Miss Lu has already gone back with Young Master Lu. Before she left, Miss Lu asked me to tell you that there’s a missing piece of data that she couldn’t find. There’s no issues with everything else.”

Huo Jinyan pinched the bridge of his nose and nodded.

“When did I fall asleep?”

He was still a little groggy.

As Chu Ting packed the project folder into his bag, he said, “Perhaps you’re more at ease with Miss Lu around… You fell asleep leaning on Miss Lu’s shoulder.”

Huo Jinyan was stunned. Leaning… on her shoulder?

After getting off the plane, Lu Ning and Lu Jingzhi hailed a cab and went straight home.

They had sent their departure time to Shen Yunci and the others earlier, but they had arrived more than an hour early since Huo Jinyan brought them back by private plane. Lu Ning did not tell Shen Yunci, wanting to give them a surprise.

When the two of them reached the entrance of the neighborhood with bags of various sizes, they stood there to take a short break.

“Eh? Little Ning and Jingzhi, you’re back.”

Grandpa Qin walked out of the mailroom, looking at the two of them.

The two of them greeted him politely.

“I heard that Jingzhi went to a competition. Did he win?” Lu Ning smiled. “He won. Grandpa Qin, we’ll be going in first.”

“Go on now. It’s great that you won—Jingzhi’s really smart, huh?”

Lu Ning and Lu Jingzhi walked far away, but they could still hear Grandpa Qin complimenting him.

The two of them could not help but look at each other and smile.

Lu Ning asked Lu Jingzhi curiously, “Jingzhi, are our grandparents still around?”

Lu Ning did not know much about this, and Shen Yunci and Lu Zhi did not mention anything about the elders in the family to her.

In fact, Lu Jingzhi did not know either. “I don’t know, Mommy and Daddy have never spoken about them. I’ve never seen them either, so I don’t know if we have any grandparents.”

It seemed a little strange to Lu Ning. If the elders were no longer around, they would pay their respects every year, right? However, Lu Jingzhi didn’t know about it, which doesn’t make sense.

Lu Ning had this question before, but she was afraid that bringing it up would make Lu Zhi and Shen Yunci upset, so she put it aside and did not ask them.

But why does it feel like there’s something else going on?

When the two of them reached the entrance of their house, the door suddenly swung open from the inside as an unfamiliar man stepped out…
