And similar to that, Wei Congjia detained Lu Hui at Zhuchuan Province’s Public Safety Division. 

Wei Congjia was effectively conscious of Lu Hui’s propensity to run at any given alternative, so he introduced Lu Hui with him in all places and didn’t give him a lot as an inch of freedom. He and his group mentioned circumstances, with Lu Hui strong-armed into listening alongside.

“…That’s fairly environment friendly, huh.” Lu Hui mentioned. 

This pair of siblings had no idea of marriage and household life, and Lu Hui didn’t even have any thought what love was, so their conversations had been fairly scientific. 

“Wei Congjia simply bought divorced not too way back.” Lu Hui mentioned, “However he doesn’t have any children, he left his home to his ex-wife, and he’s solely bought twenty thousand in his checking account. I assume that counts as a clear slate.”

“Can’t I help him?” Lu An smacked her brother on the pinnacle, “Don’t have a look at everybody like they’re stealing your property.”

“Not less than you’re making an attempt.” Lu An mentioned with aid in her voice, “I would like you to dwell effectively.”

“I’m dwelling effectively.” Lu Hui mentioned. 

Lu An shook her head: “I don’t ever need to obtain information that you just’re lacking once more.” As she recalled these darkish days, she slung her arm over her little brother’s shoulders, “I can’t be beside you continually, and Xiao Wei can’t wait to obtain information from you on a regular basis. Ji Fanyang is good-tempered and heat. He’s a good selection to have by your facet.”

“I do know.” Lu Hui mentioned in low spirits, “These issues again then weren’t your fault.”

“They aren’t mother and pa’s fault both…effectively, possibly just a little bit.” Lu An’s eyelashes fluttered, her rosy lips illuminated by wintry daylight, “Come spend the New 12 months with us.”

Lu Hui shook his head: “No. They don’t need me.”

“I do.” Lu An pulled out a chilly pack from her bag and slapped it onto Lu Hui’s face, “You recognize that even for those who don’t come see them, they received’t care.”

“They solely care about their experiments.” Lu Hui’s voice was even, with no hint of wavering. He spoke of his personal dad and mom as he would established info, “So what that means is there in me spending the New 12 months with them?”

“…Ai.” Lu An sighed, “Perhaps it’s the one factor connecting them to humanity.”

“If I’m going this time, received’t that point out that I’ve to go yearly?” Lu Hui requested. 

Lu An thought for a second: “No. I would like you to come back…as a result of I need to carry Xiao Wei dwelling.”

“…” Lu Hui’s ideas abruptly got here to a halt. He shouted, “What?!”

“It hasn’t been lengthy.” Lu An’s smile was assured and superbly radiant, “And it’s not sure whether or not it’s love or not, however I need to stabilize the connection.”

“Appearing like that could be very shameless.” Lu Hui identified, “Does Wei Congjia know?”

“No, he doesn’t.” Lu An laughed and pinched Lu Hui’s cheek, “Who’re you defending, right here?”

“I’m defending the knight in shining armor from the queen’s harassment.” Lu Hui mentioned, “Wei Congjia is a divorcee, a pitiful man with twenty thousand within the financial institution, and you continue to need to cheat him out of his emotions?”

“Am I some form of licentious rake to you?” Lu Hui’s slender fingers rubbed her personal chin, “I could be accountable.”

“You’ll dump him off at your house then go fly to your subsequent assembly.” Lu Hui mentioned, “This isn’t being accountable. That is seduction and abandonment.” 

“What if I promise that it’s a giant house close to the town middle.” Lu An mentioned. 

Lu Hui rolled his eyes: “So long as you’re joyful.”

“Since when have you ever been this morally upright?” Lu An requested in amazement. 

“I don’t need somebody much more annoying to come back monitor me.” Lu Hui mentioned, “Not less than I do know him effectively.”

“So, you’ll come dwelling for the New 12 months this time?” Lu An requested. 

Lu Hui hesitated, then mentioned: “Sure.”

Lu An stood on her tip toes and planted a scarlet kiss mark on Lu Hui’s cheek: “Is the particular person arising stairs now the one pursuing you?”

He grabbed his mischievous sister’s waist, then tilted his head barely, glancing on the slender lady hurrying about. He nodded: “Mm.”

“A little bit of revenge.” Lu Hui smilied cunningly. She waited for the girl’s silhouette on the finish of the hallway to vanish earlier than taking out a paper towel and wiping the lipstick mark off of Lu Hui’s cheek. 

Lu Hui gave Lu An free reign to behave, silent and magnanimous. 

“I’ll be in Zhongchuan Metropolis for 4 days. Reside with us.” Lu An mentioned, “Within the West Courtyard Villa. It has a swimming pool.”

“…Mm.” Lu Hui agreed. 

“Have you ever bought your house in Zhongchuan Metropolis?” Lu An requested. 

Lu Hui shook his head: “No.”

“I heard that your house in Linhua Metropolis was torn down, and that you just co-rent with Ji Fanyang. Why don’t you promote your house in Zhongchuan Metropolis and purchase one in Linhua Metropolis as an alternative?” Lu An requested. 

Lu Hui’s eyelashes dropped: “You acquire it. I don’t need to promote it.”

“Little fool.” Lu An mentioned helplessly, lifting a hand to ruffle her little brother’s hair. 

“Have you ever completed speaking?” Wei Congjia walked into the workplace and stood subsequent to the 2. 

Lu An slanted her head throughout Wei Congjia’s neck and kissed him on the cheek. Wei Congjia’s neck flushed crimson: “Cough!”

Lu Hui scoured Wei Congjia with a glance: “You’re like just a little woman.”

“Shut it.” Wei Congjia evenly caught Lu An’s waist, “It’s lunchtime. Ought to we go eat?”

“What does the little bastard need to eat?” Lu An requested.
