After Marriage (GL) - Chapter 3
In the days that followed, Lu Hejing’s attitude was as cold and indifferent as it had been on their wedding night.
Lu Hejing was busy to begin with, and this attitude made her seem even more aloof. Lin Ning, who was already somewhat nervous, became even more anxious.
But no matter how cold Lu Hejing was, Lin Ning, with her timid nature, wouldn’t take the initiative to approach her.
She could only uneasily play the role of Madam Lu.
Fortunately, an opportunity soon arose that Lin Ning felt could bring the two of them closer.
Friday evenings were the fixed time for the Lu family’s dinner gathering. Lu Hejing would leave work a little early to go home, pick up Lin Ning, and then go together to the Lu family’s old residence to eat with the family and foster their relationships.
After returning home, Lu Hejing went into the room and changed her clothes before coming out again. She was still wearing a dress, but the sexy dress had been replaced by a dignified one. The black long dress revealed her straight collarbones, hinting at a touch of sensuality.
Lin Ning’s clothes had been prepared for her by Lu Hejing: a white ankle-length dress. Lin Ning naturally had a pure and innocent aura, and wearing the white dress made her look like a little fairy.
The two of them, one in black and one in white, had a hint of a couple’s outfit.
When they got out of the car, Lu Hejing extended her arm, but Lin Ning didn’t react.
“Take my arm,” Lu Hejing had to explain, then gestured again.
Only then did Lin Ning realize and quickly reached out to link her arm with Lu Hejing’s.
Both of their dresses were sleeveless, and the moment their skin touched, Lin Ning trembled slightly, unnaturally.
It wasn’t obvious, but the two were so close, with almost no space between them, that Lu Hejing still felt it. Lu Hejing glanced at her but said nothing, leading Lin Ning inside.
When the two of them arrived, almost everyone was already there.
A group of young people were chatting in the living room.
“Sister, you’re so late,” someone called out loudly as soon as they entered the main door.
The speaker was Lu Hejing’s cousin, 19 years old, a freshman in college named Lu Feng. He was carefree and in his youthful prime, fearless and willing to say and do anything.
Lu Hejing put down her bag and waited until she was in front of the group before speaking. “Went back to pick up your sister-in-law, so we’re a bit late.”
As she spoke, Lu Hejing even smiled at Lin Ning.
Lu Hejing was good-looking, and this smile, with her full red lips curving up and her eyes fixed intently on Lin Ning, made Lin Ning blush deeply.
Lin Ning’s skin was already fair, and she blushed easily, making it very noticeable. Now, Lu Hejing had made her face completely red, which the people around them saw clearly.
“Hey, hey, sister-in-law is shy, sister-in-law is shy.”
Lu Hejing was also a little surprised. How could this child blush so easily? Just one look and her face turned so red. Could she really be lusting after her body?
“Go, go, go, don’t make a fuss here. Go do whatever you were doing.” The group was making a lot of noise, so Lu Hejing pretended to look stern and said a few words, feigning displeasure before leading Lin Ning upstairs.
This was Lin Ning’s first time here. Lu Hejing took her to her own room and then went to the study to find the Old Master Lu.
The two chatted casually for a while. When Lu Hejing was about to leave, the Old Master asked her, “This girl?”
He was asking about Lin Ning.
Lu Hejing paused for a moment before saying, “No problem.”
Among the younger generation of the Lu family, Lu Hejing was the most suitable person to take over the Lu Corporation.
However, due to public opinion, the person taking over the Lu Corporation couldn’t be someone who remained unmarried. But because of Lu Hejing’s physical condition, she couldn’t get married normally.
Lu Hejing was a woman, but she possessed male genitalia.
Therefore, the Old Master Lu had asked Lu Hejing to find someone to marry, and she could choose the person herself.
The only requirement was that she be obedient.
