Seeing Huo Jinyan Again

Shen Yunci looked at him and could not help but snicker. "Serves you right."

Lu Qing sat down and ignored his mother's ridicule.

Lu Jingzhi hopped down from his seat and chased after her.

As Shen Yunci turned to look at Lu Jingzhi, who had caught up with Lu Ning and was grabbing the corner of her shirt, she could not help but continue to mock him. "See, if you want to go you can catch up with her anytime you want. Just don't pretend you want to go when you don't."

Lu Qing's face turned pale; her words were like a knife in his heart. However, he could not retort since it was his mother.

Shen Yunci was overjoyed to see his son feeling humiliated. Last time, she had been so upset at him, but this time he got his comeuppance. It would be best if he would not always give Little Ning a hard time.

Lu Zhi watched from the side. He could not hold back a chuckle when he saw Shen Yunci's self-satisfied expression; he did not consider his son's feelings at all.

Lu Qing: "…"

——————

Lu Ning could not carry her phone while holding the tray, so she asked Lu Jingzhi to help her store her phone in the bag she had on her.

As she turned around, and before Lu Jingzhi could reach his hand out, the both of them spotted Lù Yue'an.

She was at the next cubicle over, and had just finished picking up their food.

She sized the two of them up. They were both dressed similarly, and looking at their faces one could see their features were similar. Lù Yue'an gritted her teeth.

Her heart was unsettled. She did not know why she felt this way; clearly, she was the one living the good life now.

She tried her best to clear her mind and bent down slightly to look at Lu Jingzhi. "Little Darling, do you miss your sister?"

Her question was filled with insinuation. She simply wanted to hear Lu Jingzhi say he missed her, in order to embarrass Lu Ning. At the very least, this new sister who had just arrived could not compare to her!

However, Lu Jingzhi acted as if he did not hear anything. He pinched the corner of Lu Ning's shirt and said, "Sister, I'm hungry. Let's hurry back."

Lu Ning nodded and met with Lù Yue'an's gaze.

Her gaze was filled with provocation.

Lu Ning was indifferent, as if she was not bothered by it; she turned around and was about to leave.

However, it was this indifference that seemed to have infuriated Lù Yue'an in an instant, and without thinking she stretched out her right leg maliciously

Lu Ning acutely sensed something and moved diagonally to dodge. However, Lu Jingzhi was only focused on grabbing Lu Ning's bag to put her phone away. He did not notice, so he tripped and fell forward.

Lu Ning panicked and quickly reached out to grab him.

She caught him, but the tray in her hand swayed left and right, about to overturn, and she fell to the side unsteadily.

Just as she was about to fall, a hand suddenly appeared and grabbed her tray. The other hand held her waist and steadied her.

She looked up in panic and was met with Huo Jinyan's unfathomable eyes.

Lu Ning: "…"

Brother, do you have to appear so opportunely every time?

Lu Ning was grabbing Lu Jingzhi's collar tightly, so he did not fall. He borrowed Lu Ning's strength to stabilize himself, and turned to look at Lu Ning.

"Sister, are you alright?"

Lu Ning came back to her senses and tugged Lu Jingzhi to make sure he would not fall again. Then, she shook her head.

He turned to look at Lù Yue'an, who had also regained her senses.

Lù Yue'an clearly felt a little guilty. After glancing at Lu Jingzhi, she turned around and left.

Lu Ning's sharp gaze followed her until she sat down.

Huo Jinyan pulled his hand away from Lu Ning's waist and looked at her open bag.

There was a red dot blinking inside.

Noticing his gaze, Lu Jingzhi quickly stuffed the phone into Lu Ning's bag and zipped it up.

Huo Jinyan turned to look at the child who only reached his thigh.
