Chapter 423 - Was he still a man?

Lu Aotian fished out a small box from who knows where. "My little brother is now a man." He passed the present, as though congratulating Lu Shaoting on growing up. 

Wan Jia was speechless. "You knew?" 

The main point was, he didn't tell her? 

Little Jia who had almost been forgotten tonight, looked at Su Ling's stomach with her big curious eyes. Second aunty was pregnant? 

Of course, she knew what the word meant. 

If her mommy got pregnant, it would mean that there was a baby inside her mommy's belly and then she would have a brother. 

"I'm gonna have a little cousin?" Her eyes had stars as she looked up at Su Ling, who tousled her hair. "Yes honey, are you happy?" 

"Very happy." She only hoped that she would still be uncle's favorite baby. 

Tangtang at the side also followed suit and congratulated his godfather. If the baby was a girl, Small Xixi would have someone to play with. If it was a boy, Tangtang would take care of him like a little brother.

All this while, Lu Tongyan was shocked speechless. His son was going to be a father? 

His heart swelled with pride. Another grandchild was on the way! 

He started wondering when his son was going to propose, but since Lu Shaoting didn't mention it, no one did. 

Currently, Lu Shaoting wasn't considering having a shotgun wedding. He didn't want people to think that he was only marrying her because of the baby. Even if they got married after the baby was born, he wouldn't mind.

Lu Tongyan couldn't stay up too late because of his health condition, so everyone wanted to go back to their homes soon. 

When Lu Tongyan wasn't within earshot, Wan Jia teased her sister. "You're the only one who isn't a mother yet. My brother-in-law should work hard." 

Everyone burst into laughter while Lin Lihua was embarassed. "You spoilt little thing. My brother-in-law should also work harder. You are so idle that you have time to think up nonsense." 

When everyone had left and only Lu Shaoting was left, Lu Tongyan finally had a chance to speak to him. 

"Have you thought about your marriage yet?" 

Lu Shaoting told him what he thought, to which he said, "It doesn't matter what outsiders think. All that matters is what the both of you want to do. If you want to hold your wedding within the first trimester, you should start organizing it this early." After the first trimester, her belly would have started growing out and she would no longer look pretty in a wedding gown. 

"I understand." 

He would look for beautiful a ring and propose.

Meanwhile, Yun Jifeng was restless. 

"Why is there no movement from the Lus?" 

General Yun, who was unaware that they were under investigation, was still hoping to make his son do his dirty work. "You said that they would definitely do something. Didn't you kidnap that daughter of the Lins?" 

"Actually, she managed to escape. That woman is tougher than I thought. But the incident should have provoked Lu Aotian. I expected him to still react to it." He paced about aimlessly. 

It was just because a tiger wouldn't bother with a dog's bark. 

Once his father left the study, Yun Jifeng made a phone call. "There's no reaction from that side.

What's your second suggestion?" 

The other party was annoyed. "Do you still think you can defeat your enemy if you can't reason on your own? Anyway, if they are not moved if you attack one important person, try attacking another." 

Yun Jifeng hung up and looked at a list of names, then crossed one out.

"Xu Tang...." 

It's not my fault that Lu Shaoting loves you so much. 

Of course, Lu Meili would have been a better choice since Lu Aotian loved him so much,  but that one was impossible to get.

Wait, before having to use a child, he could do something else first. If that wouldn't work, he would have no choice but get someone to kidnap the little boy Xu Tang.

The next day, in Lu Enterprises. 

"Should I announce Su Ling's pregnancy? After all, if people found out on their own, it may look like there's something to hide." Lu Shaoting asked for his brother's opinion. 

"Are you muddle headed? If you announced it, those idiots might change their targets." 

"Who is their current target?" 

Lu Aotian also had a list of names, from which he started crossing out. 

"Yun would never let anyone touch Xia Rou, Lin Zhou is out of question and so is Lin Lihua. The next target must be from the Xu family; probably Kara Yang or Xu Tang. Remind your friend to be careful." No one would try to kidnap Xu Liaowen. That was a strong man. Were they asking to be beaten up? They could only target Kara who couldn't fight much or the kids who were still little and easy to trick. 

Of course, they had thought of the possibility of Wan Jia and Su Ling being targeted as well.

That was why they had increased the security measures to keep them safe.

"Yun Jifeng's under someone's wing." Lu Shaoting observed. 

"So what? That person only has money but lacks the power. It's likely a woman." 

Lu Shaoting wondered just how his brother could guess that a woman was involved. "What's the logic?" 

Lu Aotian's eyes scolded him as a fool. "Is it that hard to guess? A man would target immediate family. Only a woman can think about sowing discord in such a sly way." 

If the Lu family didn't have such a strong bond, the brothers would have fought months ago.

Lu Shaoting sneered. Seeking help from a woman, how was Yun Jifeng still a man?
