The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 286 - 179 Yu Xia and Lu Jingchen
Chapter 286: Chapter 179 Yu Xia and Lu Jingchen
Lu Yulin staggered upon hearing this, nearly falling over, then turned his head and glared at Yu Xia who was not far behind him, not pursuing, but clearly confident he would stop. He wanted to rush up and fight with Yu Xia at first, but in the end, after meeting her gaze, he just pursed his lips with a frustrated look, not daring to run any further.
Seeing Lu Yulin standing there wanting to run but not daring to, Yu Xia’s mouth slowly curved into a very brilliant smile, even carrying a touch of warmth.
Yu Xia did not teach Mu Shinian and his classmates as there were many teachers at school, so when Mu Shinian saw her, he only knew that she was a teacher but was not very familiar with her.
Hearing Yu Xia’s threat to Lu Yulin just now, he subconsciously looked at a very displeased Lu Yulin beside him. He moved his lips, wanting to voice the doubts he had but in the end didn’t ask. Instead, he stood there with Mu Shinian and watched Yu Xia slowly approach.
Yu Xia walked straight up to them, the corners of her eyes gleaming with mischief, reached out and pinched Lu Yulin’s cheek with an irritating tone, "Why aren’t you running? Little guy, weren’t you quite fast?"
Right now, the inside of Lu Yulin’s heart was collapsing. Never had anyone pinched his cheeks before, but Yu Xia, this detestable woman, always pinched them whenever she saw him.
Enough was enough. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Shaking off Yu Xia’s hand, Lu Yulin rubbed his somewhat sore cheek, making a grimace, and protested, "Stinky woman, if you have something to say, say it. Don’t lay your hands on people."
So annoying.
Yu Xia revealed a smile but instead of pinching his cheeks again, she raised her hand to ruffle his hair, speaking discontentedly, "Lu Yulin, you should be calling me auntie considering our family ties. If I married your second uncle, you’d have to call me your second aunt. Watch your manners, or I might beat you up."
"I doubt my second uncle would marry you, stinky woman," Lu Yulin retorted, snorting.
On the side, Mu Shinian was a bit stunned hearing their conversation until he belatedly realized that their ’second uncle’ was referring to Lu Jingchen, which caused his expression to subtly change as he gazed at Yu Xia.
But the next moment, Yu Xia’s words caught him off guard.
"Don’t worry, I don’t want to marry your second uncle either; he’s not my type. I used to think that if I didn’t marry your second uncle, he would never find a wife, but now..." Yu Xia withdrew her hands, crossed her arms, and smiled at Lu Yulin, "I hear your second uncle got married. Is it true?"
At this moment, the smile on Yu Xia’s face was dazzling, but a closer look at her eyes would lead one to subconsciously think she was smiling like a sly fox.
At first, Lu Yulin wasn’t certain if his second uncle was really married, having taken Mu Shinian’s words as a joke, but now that Yu Xia brought it up, he instinctively nodded and hastily said, "Of course it’s true, my second uncle has indeed got a wife, and she’s way prettier than you."
When saying this, he subconsciously imagined the expression of Mu Shinian, that beautiful and gentle woman.
Linking it to what Mu Shinian said earlier, he almost instinctively felt that Mu Shinian’s words must be true; having his cousin as his second aunt wouldn’t be so bad.
Hearing Lu Yulin’s words, Yu Xia let out a meaningful "oh," her gaze then fell on Mu Shinian beside him; her eyes brightened, and she reached out to pinch Mu Shinian’s cheek, exclaiming, "Wow, is this not your good friend, what’s his name, Mu... Mu something Shinian, a good-looking boy, quite handsome. He’ll definitely be a heartbreaker when he grows up."
Mu Shinian, "..." Grandpa, there’s a weird auntie here, help.
Suddenly having his cheek pinched, Mu Shinian was momentarily too stunned to react, developing an inexplicable urge to run away from Yu Xia.
He seemed to understand why Lu Yulin had wanted to run away earlier.
"Stinky woman, don’t go pinching people’s faces randomly, let go..." Seeing Yu Xia laying her hands on Mu Shinian, Lu Yulin’s face turned dark as he quickly slapped her hand away from Mu Shinian’s cheek.
Yu Xia realized her actions seemed to have frightened him, withdrew her hand, but looked at Lu Yulin with a smile and said, "Bring me to see this legendary wife of your second uncle; let’s see if she’s prettier than me."
Lu Yulin, "..." Can I refuse?
Mu Shinian, "..." Sister, a weird auntie is coming to find you.
...
When Song Qiao returned to the hospital room with some food, she did not see Mu Shinian and Lu Yulin. She slightly furrowed her brow, handed the things she brought to Nurse Zhang, and said, "I need to go back to the company this afternoon. If you need anything, call me, Nurse Zhang."
Nurse Zhang accepted the food and nodded with a smile, "Alright, miss."
She bought everything for Nurse Zhang and Mu Shinian to eat since she received a call from the company about some matters that required her attention.
After giving Nurse Zhang a few more instructions, Song Qiao went to the bedside, tweaked Elder Mu’s blanket, picked up her handbag, and left.
As Song Qiao just entered the elevator and the doors were closing, another elevator opened, revealing a man of extraordinary looks with a neutral expression. His assistant was following behind him with a fruit basket, and they walked out of the elevator together.
Lu Jingchen came out of the elevator, radiating a powerful aura and a keep-your-distance vibe, headed straight to Elder Mu’s hospital room.
And at that moment, coincidentally, three people came out from the stairway area and ran right into him face-to-face.
Lu Jingchen squinted slightly as he recognized the new arrival, and asked directly, "Yu Xia, what are you doing here?"
Yu Xia, Lu Yulin, and Mu Shinian had taken the stairs up, as Elder Mu’s hospital room was on the seventh floor. Lu Yulin had initially wanted to use the elevator, but Yu Xia, who always held a grudge, wouldn’t let him and dragged both of them to take the stairs instead, claiming it was good exercise. In reality, this was her way of teaching Lu Yulin a lesson.
As soon as Lu Yulin saw his second uncle, he immediately threw himself at him, complaining, "Second Uncle, that stinky woman bullied me."
Second Uncle, his role model and idol.
Lu Jingchen frowned slightly, looking at his little nephew. Knowing that he got along well with Mu Shinian, he did not find it strange that Lu Yulin was at the hospital. He spoke calmly, "Don’t be so disrespectful, you should call her Auntie."
Lu Yulin was spitting blood in his mind, expecting his second uncle to take his side. Instead, he found himself being scolded, and was quite indignant.
Upon seeing Lu Jingchen, Mu Shinian was momentarily startled, then carefully greeted him with a "Brother-in-law."
Lu Jingchen’s gaze fell on Mu Shinian, and his face softened compared to the stern look he gave to Lu Yulin, as he asked directly, "Have you had lunch yet?"
Mu Shinian was taken aback, then instinctively shook his head.
"I’ll take you guys out for lunch later."
"Okay, thank you, Brother-in-law." Gone was her previous caution, as Mu Shinian smiled happily.
This address of ’Brother-in-law’ certainly lifted Lu Jingchen’s spirits quite a bit.
Yu Xia had been dumbstruck on the side, and it was only then that she finally realized – Lu Jingchen’s wife was this little guy’s sister?
Equally dumbstruck was Lu Yulin, it was only now that he finally realized.
Damn it, Mu Shinian was telling the truth; his cousin really did marry his second uncle.
"Lu Jingchen, you’re really married?" Yu Xia propped up her chin, opened her mouth, and finally pointed at Lu Jingchen, cursing out loud, "Damn, Lu Jingchen, you actually got married? How is that possible? I’m not even married yet and someone has taken you."
Assistant, "..." Dumbfounded, as if our boss had no admirers.
Lu Yulin, "..." Stinky woman, as if my second uncle was undesirable.
Mu Shinian, "..." Sister, the weird auntie is talking nonsense again.
The three of them each had different reactions but all turned to gaze at Yu Xia, looking at her as if they were all looking at a weird auntie.
As for Lu Jingchen, he looked at her nonchalantly, with almost the same tone as usual, "Hmm, I’ll introduce you guys some other time."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xia immediately showed a brilliant smile, "Sure, as long as you don’t mind me bullying your wife."
Lu Jingchen’s expression didn’t change. He put one hand in his pocket and the other at his side, about to turn and walk towards Elder Mu when he paused, glanced sideways at Yu Xia, and with a slightly raised eyebrow, said meaningfully, "You can’t bully her."
Given Song Qiao’s cunning nature and intelligence, not to mention bullying Yu Xia would be too easy.
Moreover, Yu Xia’s intelligence wasn’t exactly high.
Yu Xia had no idea what Lu Jingchen was thinking, nor did she know that Lu Jingchen always thought she wasn’t very clever.
If she knew, she would definitely spit out a mouthful of water on him, or perhaps even go for his throat to make him take back his thoughts.
...
Song Qiao had just left the hospital and was about to take a cab to the company when she received a call from Lu Jingchen.
Standing at the roadside, amidst the constant flow of traffic and people, she looked up at the sun and found it extremely dazzling, causing her to squint her eyes slightly and place the phone to her ear, greeting with a "Hello?"
At the end of the hospital’s seventh-floor corridor, by the window, stood a tall man gazing at the people below. His thin lips parted to ask, "Where are you now?"
The woman on the other end of the phone was taken aback before she replied, "Outside the hospital, what’s up?"
"Wait there, I’m coming out to pick you up right now. Stay there."
