“Come in,” Lu Jingnan replied in an unfriendly tone.

The lady at the door still came in. Earlier, President An asked them to change their work clothes, but she did not. Instead, she chose a low-cut t-shirt.

She did not believe that there were still men who would not take advantage of her when she delivered herself to the door.

Especially for a self-righteous man like Lu Jingnan, if he saw exposed arms and legs but still did not look, that meant just her arms and legs were not enough. Now that the girl received a task to give Lu Jingnan a blanket, should she not seize this opportunity and use her trump card?

Previously, she thought that Lu Jingnan was an old man like President An, so she did not put much thought into her outfit. Nevertheless, she saw that President Lu was young, rich, and handsome. Even if she could not rely on him for her whole life, it would not be too bad to have his short-term favor.

At the very least, a million yuan and a villa were still offered by President An.

“President Lu.” The girl deliberately softened her voice. It was a deliberate move on her part.

Her purpose was to attract Lu Jingnan’s attention, and she wanted to do that by sounding coy.

Lu Jingnan raised his eyebrow slightly. ‘Did she think that she could seduce me with such a voice?’

He glanced at her. The lady was trying to seduce him.

His eyes narrowed. His gaze was so cold that it made people shiver all over.

“Take the blanket and get out of here.” Lu Jingnan was not polite at all. He found the blanket that the woman had touched dirty.

The woman was stunned. She could not believe that Lu Jingnan was so rude.

Even so, the woman did not dare to make Lu Jingnan angry. Since Lu Jingnan told her to get out, she got out immediately. If the matter blew up, she would lose more than just her job.

Once the woman left. Lu Jingnan continued to stare at his phone. The longer he stared, the more intense the fire in his chest became.

At this moment, Song Ruyi was cleaning up at the restaurant. At 2:30 pm, Song Wanwan woke up. Song Ruyi went upstairs to wash her daughter’s face and comb the little girl’s hair. She gave her the juice that Zhao Xiaoxiao had squeezed.

Then, Song Ruyi took Song Wanwan out. They took a taxi to the supermarket first and bought some snacks that Song Wanwan liked to eat. Song Ruyi also bought a durian and some seasonal fruits.

Her aunt, younger sister, and Wanwan liked durian.

Song Ruyi was not a big fan of it. Nonetheless, durian was very expensive. She usually would not buy it. Even if she bought it, she could not bear to eat it and would give most of them to Wanwan.

Song Wanwan, who sat in the shopping cart, saw Song Ruyi putting so many things into the cart. She tilted her head and asked, “Mommy, are you going to send me to Grandaunt’s house today?”

Song Ruyi was speechless. Her daughter was too smart.

She could not blame Song Wanwan though. Every time Song Ruyi acted in this manner, Wanwan would be separated from Song Ruyi for a few hours, sometimes an entire day.

Wanwan also knew that when Song Ruyi had something to do on the weekend, she would be sent to her grandaunt’s house.

However, today was not the weekend. The little girl was unhappy and wanted to pout.

“Wanwan, I have something to do tonight and can’t bring you along. Your aunt is on leave today. It’s been a long time, so she wants to have a sleepover with you. She said she’ll bring you to eat something delicious tonight. Maybe there’ll be burgers and fries.”

Song Ruyi tried her best to coax Song Wanwan by telling her what she liked.

Despite that, the little girl still looked unhappy. She just did not want to separate from Song Ruyi.

Although her little aunt was also very fun and there would be burgers and fries that she liked, none of this could compare to her being with her mom.

“If you don’t want to, then I’ll go pick you up after I’m done. I promise that I’ll be there by 9:00 pm at the latest, but I won’t be able to have dinner with you today.”

The little one was immediately happy when she heard that Song Ruyi would come to pick her up tonight.

“Alright, Mommy, you have to keep your word. You still have to help me take a bath tonight,” Song Wanwan reminded her. She had not taken a bath in the bathtub last night and only took a quick shower.

“Okay, yes sir!”

Song Ruyi made Song Wanwan laugh.

After paying the bill, Song Ruyi brought her daughter and the things she bought to Chen Jing’s house.

Chen Jing did not know what to say to Song Ruyi when she saw that she always brought bags of stuff to her house.

It was useless for Chen Jing to say anything every time. The next time Song Ruyi sent her daughter over, she would still bring bags of stuff over.

“I live alone, yet my fridge is always filled by you and my mom. Thank you.” Chen Jing accepted the things.

Song Ruyi sent Song Wanwan inside. Chen Jing placed all the things on the floor first and held Song Wanwan’s hand. “Wanwan, why didn’t you call me?”

“Little Aunt,” Song Wanwan called sweetly.

Chen Jing responded and even leaned over to kiss her a few times. “You’re such a good girl, Wanwan.”

Song Ruyi helped to move all the things into the kitchen and even helped Chen Jing put them away in different categories.

Chen Jing saw that it was getting late, so she walked in. “Big Sis, it’s getting late. Go and get busy. I’ll take care of this.”

Song Ruyi also looked at the time and nodded. “Okay, then I’ll be leaving first.”

She had been busy for half a day, and she was sweating because she was in a hurry. She had to take care of the child and carry things.

No matter what, it was a basic courtesy to clean herself up before having a meal with others.

She planned to go home and wash up first, then change into a clean set of clothes before going to have a meal with Lu Jingnan.

Chen Jing’s family bought a new castle toy. Song Wanwan was very happy playing. When Song Ruyi left, Song Wanwan did not even raise her head and was having a great time.

The staff dormitory that Chen Jing lived in was equipped with an elevator and a garden downstairs. It was quite good.

Chen Jing was quite lucky. When she was first assigned to Tianfu Second Hospital, she had met a retired staff member who gave up his house. Her academic qualifications were not bad, and her performance during the internship period was very good. In order to retain talents, the hospital’s leader assigned this dormitory to her first.

As soon as Chen Jing was assigned to the room, Song Ruyi’s aunt, who was Chen Jing’s mother, came over to help her cook. Later, when the mother and daughter ate the food in the cafeteria, they found that they did not taste much worse than their cooking. Chen Jing then decisively refused her mother to come over and help her do the hard work. She ate at the cafeteria every day.

In actuality, it was to prevent her mother from nagging her about blind dates.

Song Ruyi took a taxi back to her neighborhood and got off. She first went to the security booth and borrowed a cell phone from the security guard.

When she dialed the number, she thought that she would have to think before she could remember Lu Jingnan’s number. In the end, she did not even think about it and skillfully pressed the number.

When she heard Lu Jingnan’s hello from the other side of the phone, she felt her heart skip a beat.

She was genuinely scared.
