Chapter 377: Not what she Imagined

Translator: CokeZero Editor: Rainystars

As soon as Lu Jiao spoke, Xie Yunjin became nervous and quickly sat up.

The sudden movement, strained his injured shoulder, causing him to frown in pain.

Lu Jiao hurriedly went over and sat beside him, holding him in place to prevent further movement.

“Why did you get up so quickly?”

Xie Yunjin reached out and grabbed Lu Jiao’s hand, carefully examining her up and down, and only relaxed when he saw that she was fine.

Seeing him so concerned about her, Lu Jiao’s face remained composed, but she felt a sweet warmth in her heart. She quickly reassured Xie Yunjin.

“I’m fine. The carriages didn’t collide. What I wanted to tell you is that the other party was a person from the Zhang family in Qinghe County. It was Li

Wenbin’s wife, Zhang Biyan.”

Lu Jiao paused for a moment and continued, “I think your earlier speculation was correct. The Zhang family wants to win me over and form a new network of connections.’

With a cold smile, Lu Jiao wondered if they thought she was foolish. Xie Yunjin’s expression turned cold instantly, his gaze becoming sharp, “We don’t need to pay attention to them.”

Lu Jiao remembered that Zhang Biyan and Li Wenbin wanted to come to visit Xie Yunjin tomorrow. She immediately informed Xie Yunjin about it, “Zhang’s wife will come tomorrow, along with Li Wenbin, to visit you.”

“Let them come. We’ll wait and see. Even if they come, we won’t fall into their trap.”

Lu Jiao then asked about Li Wenbin and asked Xie Yunjin, “If the Zhang’s family asks Li Wenbin to talk to you about joining them, will you be swayed?” “It’s impossible. If Li Wenbin dares to talk to me like that, then he won’t be my classmate anymore in the future.”

Lu Jiao nodded in agreement and didn’t bring up the topic further.

Outside the room, Feng Zhi brought in the food with Liu An and the family had their meal.

Although the little ones were young, they sensed that their parents were behaving differently; they seemed to have gotten closer. This made them very happy, and they were pleased to see their parents getting along well.

Lu Jiao didn’t think too much about it, but seeing the joy on the faces of the little ones, she couldn’t help but ask with a smile.

“Is there something you’re happy about? You’ve been smiling so happily.”

The Second Born has always been straightforward and spoke quickly. When he heard Lu Jiao’s question, he exclaimed loudly.

“Because daddy learned how to coax mommy. When mommy is happy, we’re happy too!”

The First Born didn’t say anything, but nodded vigorously, expressing that he felt the same joy.

The Third and Fourth Born giggled.

Lu Jiao felt extremely embarrassed by the children’s words. On the side, Xie Yunjin put down his chopsticks and reached out to hold Lu Jiao’s hand right in front of the children. He then spoke with respect.

“I will treat your mother better from now on, to make her happier. In the future, you guys should also make your mom happy, just like I am doing. We, as a family, should all cherish and pamper her.”

The four little ones shouted loudly, “We understand, daddy, don’t worry!” Watching this heartwarming scene, Lu Jiao’s heart slowly settled down, and a sense of attachment seemed to take root. She felt as if she was meant to migrate into the book just to meet them.

Thinking this way, Lu Jiao looked at Xie Yunjin with a smile and said, “Let’s eat. Don’t say so much.”

She then served Xie Yunjin some of his favorite dishes, and the little ones did the same for her.

The atmosphere of the family was warm and harmonious.

After dinner, Lu Jiao took the four little ones to the back courtyard to bathe.

In the room, Xie Yunjin looked like an abandoned puppy, making the four little ones feel pity for him. They wanted their mother to stay with their father.

However, Lu Jiao felt that she shouldn’t spoil someone too much, otherwise, he might get carried away. So she quickly said.

“Your dad is injured and should rest quietly. When I accompany him, he has trouble sleeping.”

Hearing this, the four children chimed in one after another.

“Daddy, you’re an adult. You don’t always need someone to accompany you.

Rest on your own and recover from your injury.”

“That’s right, you’re a grown-up now, but you keep asking mommy to be with you. Tonight, mommy will sleep with us.”

“Let mommy accompany you after you get better.”

The Fourth Born happily held Lu Jiao’s hand and said, “Tonight, mommy will sleep with us.”

The four little ones took Lu Jiao away, leaving Xie Yunjin dumbfounded.

So, he was left behind like this?

Lu Jiao took the four little ones to bathe in the back courtyard. After the bath, the four children decisively climbed onto Lu Jiao’s bed.

Lu Jiao looked at them with a helpless smile. It seemed that she was accompanying the children’s father and now she was beginning to accompany her sons.

These past two days, while Lu Jiao was accompanying Xie Yunjin in the front courtyard, the four little ones were a little disappointed, even though they didn’t say it out loud. So tonight, they slept beside Lu Jiao with more affection than ever. They held her hand and asked her to tell them bedtime stories.

Since she started the family kindergarten, Lu Jiao hadn’t told bedtime stories. She’s been writing them down and asking the teachers to read them to the children.

Tonight, the four little ones were in high spirits and pleaded for a story.

Lu Jiao didn’t object. She thought for a moment and told them two stories before they all went to sleep together.

The next day, as expected, Zhang’s wife and Li Wenbin came to visit Xie Yunjin.

They also brought extremely precious gifts.

The most important thing was that Li Wenbin was wearing a silk brocade robe, appearing wealthier than usual.

Lu Jiao smiled and said, “Li Wenbin, you look like a different person in that outfit. If you walked on the street, I wouldn’t even recognize you.”

To be honest, Lu Jiao couldn’t really understand Li Wenbin’s way of thinking as a scholar. His wife’s family was wealthy, but he always dressed simply. What was he trying to prove by doing that?

If he wanted to show integrity, why did he burden his in-laws, the Zhang family? According to Lu Jiao’s thinking, he should have many classmates at the county school who could lend him money. But since he chose to burden the Zhang family, why not use their money?

As Lu Jiao thought this way, she felt that Li Wenbin’s actions were a bit different from her earlier speculations.

Li Wenbin looked a little uncomfortable and mumbled, “I come from a poor family and am not used to wearing such silk brocade robes.”

On the side, Zhang Biyan reached out and held Lu Jiao’s hand, “Lady Lu’s skin seems to be exceptionally good. What skincare cream are you using?”

Lu Jiao glanced at Zhang Biyan holding her hand. Although she didn’t pull her hand back, there was a cold gleam in her eyes.

Lu Jiao thought of Xie Yunjin’s injury and the men in black who tried to abduct the Second Born… Although she couldn’t be sure they were related to the Zhang family, she was certain that the Zhang family was involved.

So she kept the Zhang family in mind, and if she and Xie Yunjin had the chance, she would never spare them. And then there was Shen Xiu, who was still in the Zhang family’s hands.

With these thoughts in mind, Lu Jiao’s face remained smiling. “Skincare cream? There’s no cream or anything like that. I’m just a bit chubby, and when you’re chubby, your skin looks fairer. Actually, I think Lady Zhang has the best skin, and your features are beautiful as well..”
