Chapter 844: Why Are You Here Again (2)

“Uncle Lu...” Su He was considered a junior who had to put up the appearance of being close with Lu Xiangtian. When she saw Lu Xiangtian coming over, she had to take the initiative to greet him.

Lu Xiangtian smiled and nodded to Su He. “You look much better than before. However, you still have to take good care of your body. Otherwise, your parents and brother will be worried.”

Su He seemed to be a little afraid of Lu Xiangtian. She subconsciously hid behind Ye Yan and nodded. “Thank you for your concern, Uncle Lu. I will.”

Lu Xiangtian paid no heed to it. He turned his attention back to Zhao Youlin. “I heard that Youlin and Mr. Mu went abroad not long ago?”

Zhao Youlin was suddenly called by name, and by such an intimate title at that. She was so scared that her whole body trembled. She laughed dryly and said, “Yes, yes. I was too busy when I got married and didn’t have time for my honeymoon. I just happened to have some free time, so I went abroad to play.”

Zhao Youlin had a smile on her face, but she was already creeped out by the fact that this man knew of their movements, even abroad. No matter how she looked at it, it was a little unusual.

“So you went on your honeymoon. Ms. Zhao and Mr. Mu are really close.”

Zhao Youlin smiled awkwardly. “I just happened to have some free time recently.”

Lu Xiangtian did not comment any further. He turned his gaze to the child in Zhao Youlin’s arms.

Zhao Youlin’s nerves instantly tensed up. She looked at Lu Xiangtian with some wariness in her eyes.

How could Lu Xiangtian not see Zhao Youlin’s alienation and wariness towards him? It was just that he was used to being casual and did not care about it at all.

“This child seems to be much larger than the average child.”

Zhao Youlin smiled awkwardly. “This child is not picky about food. He eats a lot and grows faster.”

Mu Tingfeng saw that Zhao Youlin was somewhat intimidated when she faced Lu Xiangtian, so he took the initiative to speak and shifted Lu Xiangtian’s attention to himself.

“Previously, I heard from my uncle and aunt that Mr. Lu has been staying abroad all year round. Why the sudden return? Could it be because of... Miss Lu?”

As soon as Mu Tingfeng said this, Lu Xiangtian’s attention shifted. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Mu Tingfeng for quite a while.

When Lu Xiangtian’s face was dark and he said nothing, he looked especially serious.

The atmosphere around them turned cold without any warning. Everyone looked at Lu Xiangtian nervously, afraid that he would lose his temper in front of everyone if he had taken offense. They could only become collateral damage.

Lu Xiangtian was silent for a moment, but he suddenly laughed. “Mr. Mu is right. I have indeed been staying abroad to recuperate. But after staying outside for a long time, one naturally wants to return to where he came from. The so-called phenomenon of returning to one’s roots is probably the case.”

Mu Tingfeng nodded as if he was not scared by Lu Xiangtian’s killing intent. “Then, Mr. Lu, what plans do you have after you return?”

The few of them were relieved that Mu Tingfeng had escaped a calamity. After hearing his words, their hearts were raised again.

Nowadays, the higher one’s status was, the more they did not like others to guess their thoughts, especially people like Lu Xiangtian.

Talking to him was like walking on a tightrope. The slightest carelessness could lead to eternal damnation.

Although they knew how powerful this Young Master Mu was, how could he be more powerful than these dangerous people? Young Master Mu dared to be so presumptuous in front of Mr. Lu. Did he really want to die?

Of course, Mu Tingfeng wouldn’t want to die. He was just testing, testing the man’s repeated attempts to appear in front of them, testing the man’s feelings for Zhao Youlin.

Lu Xiangtian narrowed his eyes and stared at Mu Tingfeng for a while. He chuckled. “What other plans can I have? I’m already at this age. It’s time for me to enjoy life and leave those troublesome things to these young people.”

Lu Xiangtian glanced at Lu Sizheng and Lu Shu as he spoke. Lu Sizheng and Lu Shu smiled at him at the same time and flattered, “Dad, you’re still young! Aren’t you killing us by saying that?”

“That’s right, Dad. You’re in your prime now. How can you say such things?”

Although the two of them said that, the way they looked at each other was completely different.

Although Zhao Youlin was busy taking care of the child, her attention did not shift away from the few of them.

When she saw this, her eyes flickered. She thought to herself that, as expected, Lu Sizheng and Lu Shu were not on good terms because of this so-called successor position!

Lu Xiangtian had no reason not to see through something that Zhao Youlin could see through. However, he chose to remain silent, which was out of Zhao Youlin’s expectations.

However, Zhao Youlin didn’t intend to meddle in their affairs. After all, this was their family matter. As long as she wasn’t involved, they could do whatever they wanted. It had nothing to do with her.

After Lu Xiangtian said a few words to Mu Tingfeng, he immediately shifted his attention to Zhao Youlin. “This is my son, Lu Sizheng. Ms. Zhao should have met him once before, right?”

Zhao Youlin was stunned for a moment. She did not understand why Lu Xiangtian suddenly said this, but she still nodded truthfully. “I’ve met him once or twice before.”

“This child looks a little older than you, but in reality, he’s not as defined as you and Mr. Mu. If there’s a chance, I hope that you can help him iron out those bad habits of his that are not very steady.”

When Lu Xiangtian said this, Zhao Youlin, Mu Tingfeng, and the others were shocked. The corner of Zhao Youlin’s mouth stiffened slightly. “Mr. Lu, you are really modest. It’s obvious that your prince is a dragon among men. We only put on pretenses, but in fact, we may not have his bearing.”

Before Zhao Youlin could finish, Lu Xiangtian had already interrupted her. “Ms. Zhao, there’s no need to be modest. Although I don’t have much contact with Ms. Zhao and Mr. Mu, I can still see some things clearly.”

Lu Xiangtian was determined to tie them together with Lu Sizheng!

Zhao Youlin opened her mouth and was about to speak, but Lu Sizheng interrupted her with a smile. “In that case, I’ll have to ask Ms. Zhao and Mr. Mu for more guidance in the future.”

Zhao Youlin was speechless.

Zhao Youlin, who felt like she had been tricked again, could only laugh dryly and reluctantly. “We’ll exchange pointers.”

As soon as she said that, Zhao Youlin felt a chill on her back. She turned her head and was not surprised to see Lu Shu looking at her with a pair of sinister eyes. That hostile gaze really made Zhao Youlin feel very uncomfortable.

Had she tragically gotten involved in the secret battle between the two siblings?
