Chi Qiu wondered, he did not understand why his own relatives would go to Lu Yinliang’s birthday party.

“Lu Yinliang is preparing to start his own business.” He pondered for a moment and said truthfully, “If I’m not wrong, this birthday banquet should be a reason for grandfather to personally appear and help him develop routes in his ‘own family’.”

The routes included Lu Ming.

Lu Yinliang was different from Lu Rongtian in that he had a business mind. But instead of relying on Elder Lu’s favor, directly working in his company, he instead started his own business.

This matter made Lu Rongtian miserable. He talked about it a few times, but finally he was scolded by Elder Lu.

Lu Rongtian’s idea was very simple. He felt that Lu Yinliang wouldn’t gain a foothold now that he was not going to their company. In the future, when Elder Lu’s property was in Lu Ming’s hands, most of the company’s assets would belong to Lu Ming.

Chi Qiu didn’t understand: “Why you both don’t go to your own company? I heard my mother say that Grandpa’s company now seems to be managed by someone.”

Lu Ming’s side was understandable, his uncle wanted to be a fashion designer and didn’t want to take over the company, so only Lu Ming could take over it. But on Lu Yinliang’s side, it shouldn’t be so.

Was he really willing to give up everything to Lu Ming?

Lu Ming didn’t care: “It should be grandfather’s intention, the current Lu Yinliang is too young, and I don’t want to go there. Without family members, a baby bird of Lu Yinliang’s level will be eaten alive by the old foxes in the company if he’s not careful.”

The old man wanted the little grandson to experience on his own and fill up his wings first.

Lu Ming didn’t even need to think about it. Under this situation, the remaining 30% of the old man’s property would not be divided equally at all. He would leave it all to Lu Yanliang.

It must be said that even 30% was a huge amount of money, it was not possible to say that the 30% might not be cash, it was likely to be something linked to the company.

After all, Lu Rongtian and Zhen Zhen were not capable of doing anything, so they could only depend on their son to suck blood. If Lu Yanliang achieved something in the future, when he would be one hundred years old, he would be able to go with peace of mind.

Liu Ming understood that from the moment he and Chi Qiu stood in front of Elder Lu, the old man was anxious to pave Lu Yanliang’s posterior road.

And if it were himself…

Lu Ming calmly glanced at the wedding ring on his hand, then calmly averted his gaze.

It was useless to think about it, things had already been decided.

When Lu Ming was usually at home, he was used to leaning on the sofa after a meal to read work documents or the recent stock market. Chi Qiu liked to wear headphones, nestled next to him listening to audiobooks.

Every now and then, Chi Qiu would yawn. But if you wanted him to go to bed first, you couldn’t persuade him no matter what.

It was the same today.

The novel that Chi Qiu listened to was boring, he nodded sleepily, and finally tilted his head and rubbed his eyes.

Lu Ming checked the time, only half past seven: “Are you going to sleep?”

“No.”

As he was talking, Aunt Zhang, who had already prepared the fruit after the meal, brought the fruit plate, made two cups of tea, and put them on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

Aunt Zhang’s job was to take care of Chi Qiu’s three meals a day while daily life chores, such as cleaning at home, etc., would be done by professional cleaning and hourly workers.

When she came out of the kitchen, Lu Ming was watching his tablet.

Chi Qiu snuggled up next to him and took a small sip of tea. The distance between them had shortened considerably compared to when Lu Ming first arrived home.

Aunt Zhang felt that this was the moment she could see the two of them most like a partner.

She walked over, “Mr. Lu, sir, I’m almost done with my business, is there anything else I need to do?” If not, it was almost time for her to leave work.

Lu Ming didn’t look up: “Thanks for your hard work, go and rest.”

“You can call me again if you need anything.”

As a highly paid live-in nanny, Aunt Zhang was different from Xiao Yan in that she lived in a guest room on the second floor of the villa, which had a separate bathroom and balcony, as well as a small storage room, all for her to use alone.

The biggest difference between Lu Ming’s villa and other people’s homes was that the master bedroom was placed on the first floor.

Not only that, in order to facilitate Chi Qiu’s life, the spacious master bedroom didn’t have too many furnishings, fearing Chi Qiu would stumble.

The hands of the clock on the wall headed toward eight o’clock, but Chi Qiu was awake for a few minutes. The taste of tea in his mouth was sweet, reminding him of the forgotten desert in the refrigerator.

He fumbled to put the tea cup back on the coffee table.

Lu Ming’s peripheral vision noticed his small movement: “I’ll do it.”

Chi Qiu refused in a gentle voice, saying understandingly, “I can do it myself, you can do your thing.” His hand touched the edge of the coffee table in front of him before he slowly put the teacup on the table. His series of movements were very careful and he remembered exactly where to place things on the coffee table.

“Well, is it exactly the same as the position Aunt Zhang put it?” He sounded quite a little proud.

Lu Ming calmly moved the tea cup placed by Chi Qiu to the right: “Yes, it’s the same.”

“You wait for me.” Chii Qiu got up.

Lu Ming asked, “What’s wrong?”

“I bought dessert, it’s in the fridge.”

“I’ll go.” Lu Ming put down the tablet.

Chi Qiu grabbed his arm and patted it: “I’m already familiar with the house. Usually when Aunt Zhang goes to rest, I’ll get some things myself.”

He curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled beautifully, “Don’t you forget, I haven’t been able to see since I was eleven. There are many things that I can do by myself.” He would want Lu Ming to feed him when he ate, but he would never give him extra trouble when Lu Ming was busy working.

When Chi Qiu said these words, he did not avoid the old story of the year he had the accident at all.

Lu Ming didn’t insist anymore. He sat on the sofa and waited for Chi Qiu to bring the dessert. During this period, Lu Ming didn’t glance at the tablet. He looked in the direction of the kitchen until Chi Qiu’s figure reappeared, and only then did he silently withdraw his gaze.

“I bought a lot of lemon flavored desserts.” Chi Qiu put the dessert on the coffee table, “I’ll open them.”

He was familiar with unpacking the outer packaging and arranged the exquisite desserts in a row.

They were all lemon flavors that Lu Ming loved to eat.

“The clerk was very nice, she gave me lemon nougat.” He touched the plastic fork from the bag and handed it to Lu Ming, “I’ve inquired, these are not very sweet. Will you eat with me?”

“Yes.”

“That’s great. Thank you, Lu Ming.”

“You don’t need to say thank you for this kind of thing.” Lu Ming said with a guilty conscience.

Chi Qiu’s acting skills were a hundred points: “You always have to eat with me even though you don’t like sweets that much.” He scooped down some lemon buttercream cake with a fork and raised his hand, “Want to try my piece?”

Lu Ming leaned forward without hesitation and took a bite.

“Very sweet.”

That night, the dessert that did not occupy his stomach was eaten by Lu Ming without a single bite left. He was good at lying. Looking at the empty dessert plate, he told Chi Qiu against his will: “I can’t finish eating, I’ll throw it.”

Chi Qiu said with regret: “I should have known that I should have taken only one out, it was a waste.”

Lu Ming did not reply, and silently threw away the disposable paper plate.

He had a satisfying dessert meal that even after washing up, his mouth could taste the faint sweetness of lemon. The aftertaste was endless. Taking advantage of the time Chi Qiu was taking a bath in the bathroom, Lu Ming searched the dessert shop on his mobile phone and ordered some lemon-flavored desserts.



After taking a bath, Chi Qiu was really full of food. He was too sleepy. As soon as he came out, he followed the route he was accustomed to, and got into the bed with his eyes closed.

Lu Ming bowed his head and tucked the quilt for him: “If you are sleepy, go to bed first.”

Chi Qiu shook his head and whispered a ‘huh’. He unconsciously held Lu Ming’s wrist, a little resigned to the fact that his sleepiness had come so early.

“What’s wrong?”

“…” Chi Qiu’s forehead rubbed Lu Ming’s hand, and the warm fragrance was the lemon mint scented body wash shared by the two. Not to say seductive, but it lingered around the tip of Lu Ming’s nose.

Lu Ming was at a loss for a few seconds before reacting instantly.

“Chi Qiu, not tonight.” Lu Ming withdrew his hand.

Chi Qiu hugged the quilt and lowered his eyes in aggravation.

Lu Ming had no choice but to reach out and gently stroke his forehead: “You’re very sleepy, be good.”

“I want a good night kiss.” Chi Qiu pursed his lips. Thinking that Lu Ming would be at home a lot after this, he was not so upset. His sleepiness was getting stronger and stronger, and he said tiredly, “You smell sweet, it smells so good.”

So, Lu Ming came closer and said softly, “Wait for me to wash up first.”

Chi Qiu answered and obediently shrank under the covers. But it was hard to wait for Lu Ming to finish his bath. He could not hold on any longer, and fell asleep in a daze.

In his sleep, one of his hands grabbed the quilt, frowned uneasily, and exhaled deeply, as if he was lamenting in his dreams that he hadn’t gotten a goodnight kiss from Lu Ming.

Snapped——

Lu Ming turned off the light, and the slight sound hidden the light in the moonlight. Lu Ming bent over and planted a kiss on Chi Qiu’s lips.
