Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 947 - 944: Are You Sure It’s Not a Fright?

"..." Big Brother, do you think we aren’t awkward enough already?

After waiting for a while, seeing Lu Xinyun remain silent, Nangong Xuan fixed his gaze on her hands, his gaze deepening significantly.

Lu Xinyun noticed his gaze lingering on her shopping bag and instinctively hid the bag behind her: "This is my food for the weekend!"

If it weren’t for this situation between them, Lu Xinyun wouldn’t mind sharing a meal with him, but after eating, she didn’t want to go out and buy food alone. Ever since something happened along that road last time, she didn’t dare to pass through it alone.

"And?" Nangong Xuan looked at her uncertainly, "Are you afraid I’ll steal it from you?"

Lu Xinyun didn’t reply, but her meaning was clear.

Nangong Xuan realized that deep down, Lu Xinyun was a foodie. If the things she held today were something else, she would definitely show him, rather than guarding it like she was defending against a thief.

Seeing that she had no intention of acknowledging him, he decided not to amuse himself anymore, turned and went back to his room, leaving a comment before entering: "Eating all that alone, you’ll probably gain twenty pounds."

Lu Xinyun was opening the door when she suddenly heard his remark, instinctively looking at the food in her hands. She hadn’t noticed before if it was too much, but based on her appetite in recent days, it did seem like a portion for two...

She closed the door, put the shopping bag on the table, and stared at the varied food inside the bag, lost in thought.

If she really ate all this in the next two days, would she really gain twenty pounds? But she had just managed to lose twenty pounds...

Just as she was thinking about it, her private phone rang. She picked up the call, hearing the steady, sonorous voice of Lu Jincheng on the other end, leaving Lu Xinyun full of emotion. Her brother would definitely be an Empire demon following their father.

"Why didn’t you come home?"

"How did you know I didn’t go home?" Lu Xinyun was a bit surprised.

"I called back to check." Listening to his extremely helpless tone, Lu Xinyun could already imagine her brother on the other end, holding his forehead in distress.

She chuckled with delight, "None of you are home, so I’m not going back either. I won’t go back for half a month and surprise you all."

On the other end, Lu Jincheng slightly raised his eyebrow, his slender fingers playing with the pen in his hand, "Are you sure it won’t be a shock?"

"Bro!" Lu Xinyun wailed, "Can’t you give me some confidence? Anyway, since Dad and Mom won’t be back for a while, I won’t return home during this time."

"You don’t even want to see me?"

"There won’t be any surprise if I see you."

After her words, laughter floated over from the other end, tender yet helplessly saying: "Come home whenever you want, remember to tell me immediately if you run into any problems, okay?"

"Mm, mm, mm!"

...

After ending the call, Lu Xinyun noticed there was still an unread message on her phone. These days, to avoid Nangong Xuan, she had pushed Brother Xuan to the side.

Seeing his reply, there were only a few words, yet she pondered for a long time before typing a few words above: "It’s been so long, I bet you look as handsome as my brother now, with lots of girls chasing after you!"

After sending the message, she put away her phone and carried the shopping bag into the kitchen.

In the adjacent room, Nangong Xuan was contemplating whether to go out for a meal and come back, but then heard his phone ring.
