Lu Qian held his phone.
The phone remained silent, its light flashing intermittently.
He didn't answer immediately, but stared at the study door, where Mingzhu had already vanished.
Lu Qian's Adam's apple rolled slightly.
He pressed the answer button, and a cute voice came from the other end.
The little girl was a bit uneasy.
Lu Qian lit a cigarette, holding it between his fingers as it burned. His tone was gentle: "It's so late, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
The little one whispered in a cute, trembling voice, "I'm afraid!"
Lu Qian felt sad for the child.
Lan Ziming gave birth to her and didn't care for her, leaving her in the care of a nanny.
Now we are in a new environment.
This is cruel to a child.
Lu Qian comforted her a few words, and then asked her to give the phone to Lu Jun's parents and chat with them for a few minutes.
Only the other party knows, Mengmeng couldn't sleep at night.
They promised to take good care of the children.
Mengmeng said goodnight reluctantly. She lacked affection since she was young, and even her dearest Uncle Lu, who warmed her the most, wouldn't be seen easily anymore.
Lu Qian hung up the phone, feeling uneasy.
But he knew Mingzhu had it worse.
He stubbed out half of his cigarette and went back to the bedroom.
As expected, she was still awake.
Her body leaned against the headboard, a head of black hair cascading down her shoulders like a waterfall. She was very beautiful.
Lu Qian threw his phone onto the bedside table.
He leaned in and kissed her lips.
He was a little dry, so he kissed her gently for a moment and whispered, “Don't you have an announcement tomorrow morning? How will you manage to get through the day if you don't sleep?”
She didn't resist, her body slipping down.
Resting on his chest.
For a long time, he felt his chest damp and hot, very uncomfortable.
Lu Qian gently rubbed her hair.
Then he leaned in, opened her lips, and kissed her gently.
The Mingzhu trembled violently.
He kissed deeply, as if he were kissing her soul, but no one spoke during this moment.
……
The next morning, Mingzhu woke up.
The pillow beside her was empty. She thought he had gone to the company.
Downstairs, Lu Qian was still at home.
In early spring weather, he wore a light brown sweater and paired it with a pair of dark brown casual trousers.
His face was elegant and fair.
He had breakfast with Shuoshuo, and when Mingzhu came downstairs, he smiled faintly: "Let's take Shuoshuo to kindergarten together later!"
Mingzhu sat down and gently brushed her long hair aside.
"There's a commercial shoot this morning."
Lu Qian handed her a cup of hot milk and said, "I'll send you off later."

She whispered, "You don't have to do that!"
Last night she gave him her phone, out of compassion for him, and didn't want him to feel guilty.
If that child doesn't affect her life with ShuoShuo, she thinks she could just turn a blind eye. Of course, she still can't accept meeting.
Lu Qian didn't say anything, just rubbed her hair.
After dinner, they sent Shuoshuo together.
The little one just started kindergarten recently, and today both parents are sending him off together. He's especially happy.
Lu Qian and Mingzhu stood side by side, watching their son walk into kindergarten.
Let's get back in the car.
Lu Qian didn't immediately attack, instead tilting his head and asking softly, "Are there any more announcements this afternoon?"
Mingzhu guessed his meaning.
He wanted to keep her company.
She lightly bit her lip, her voice tinged with a hint of coquettishness: "Aren't you busy today?"

Lu Qian's eyes were deep: "Busy! But my wife should accompany me too."
She was so young, precisely the age when she needed companionship. Plus, he always owed her for all the cute things she did, so he wanted to make up for it even more.

She loved him dearly and didn't want to make things difficult. She softly said, "I'll be free after two this afternoon."
Lu Qian leaned in and kissed her gently. "I'll take you to the amusement park."

His beautiful phoenix eyes glanced at her lightly.
<<>>
"Mingzhu, I like it when you call me Lu Qian!"
His voice was hoarse beyond recognition.
She blushed slightly and fastened her seatbelt: "Let's go!"
Lu Qian gazed at her, a faint smile playing on his lips as he gently pressed the accelerator.
……
Upon arriving at the set, she did not conceal her condition.
She's very open about her relationship with Lu Qian.
Everyone in the circle knows she has a fiancé and a son.
I've heard Mr. Lu's name before, but I didn't expect him to be so young.
The director came over to say hello, or Mr. Lu as he preferred.
Lu Qian, having been in a position of power for a long time, was very good at socializing and public relations. With just a few words, the director had already changed his tune to call Lu "Mr. Lu." Lu Qian said a few polite words and then left, apparently because he had something else to attend to.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Mingzhu got off work.
The assistant knew Lu Qian was coming to pick her up and playfully teased him with a few words.

Lu Qian's car was parked outside. He came over and greeted her colleagues, then led her to the car.
Míngzhū has been good friends with him for several years, and rarely has he received such treatment.
She pulled his hand, softly asking him, "How much money did you bring? I'm afraid it won't be enough."
Lu Qian took out his wallet and tossed it to her.
He smiled while driving: “Let’s count. I’ll go get more if it’s not enough!”
"All mobile payments, who uses cash! So old-fashioned!"
"Aren't you too old for this?"
……
Her face, like a jewel, shone with redness.
Lu Qian was in a good mood, he took her to the Magic City in the city center. It wasn't Sunday, so there weren't many people.
A person from Mingzhu has a strong craving for vegetables.
What she didn't expect was that Lu Qian was very good at this.
He can play for a long time with ten coins.
Mingzhu hugged him around the waist and murmured, looking up, "That's not fair! You shouldn't have played those before."
Lu Qian clipped a few dolls for her.
He gently stroked her little head and chuckled softly, "You just have to be beautiful!"
He clearly said she was dumb.
Mingzhu couldn't hold it in anymore. She buried her face in his arms and acted coquettishly.
"I'm not stupid!"
I graduated from a prestigious Ivy League university and am fluent in four languages.
……
For a while, Lu Qian had grabbed a few more plushies.
He deliberately said, "So, Mrs. Lu is still quite capable?"
He was being double-edged.
She heard it, it was supposed to be infuriating, but he called her Mrs. Lu and she couldn't bring herself to be angry.
Lu Qian glanced at her.
It's easy to guess what the little girl is thinking. She's been hanging all over him for ages, and he thinks he should spend more time with her when he has free time...
The rest of life went on peacefully.
Lu Qian only occasionally calls that child.
