After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him

Chapter 63: Chapter 63 He’s Just Lucky That’s All

“Xia Wenyan, in some time we’re going to make Zhaozhao’s identity public, and if you maintain this attitude by then, just go ahead and change your surname to Lu along with Xia Wenjin!”

Xia Wenyan looked at his eldest brother in utter disbelief, “No way, are you serious?”

Although he wasn’t exactly the family favorite back home, at least his older brothers were always protective of him. Sure, the third brother had a bit of a sharp tongue sometimes, but they still cared for him deeply.

Such harsh words were almost unheard of for him.

But now, seeing Xia Wenjue’s stern expression, there seemed to be not a trace of jesting.

He pursed his lips, and the protest that had come to his mouth was forcefully swallowed back down.

He turned to Xia Wenqing somewhat timidly, just in time to hear him sigh helplessly and say, “Lao Si, we told you to investigate before and you were reluctant. Now I can only say… Zhaozhao has never been treated well by the Lu Family, think about the rest on your own.”

“What?!” Upon hearing this, Xia Wenyan’s eyes incredulously widened.

Wasn’t Lu Zhaozhao the precious daughter of the Lu Family?

What did they mean by never being treated well?

He wanted to ask more, but Xia Wenqing had already left.

Xia Wenjue and Wen Qingyu naturally couldn’t be bothered to pay him any more attention, and even the dishes on the table were collected away.

Not a single leaf of greens was left for him.

Xia Wenyan looked at Kaka, who was still eating at the dining table, and couldn’t help but sigh, “Seriously, less than a dog…”

Tuesday at noon, the sky was overcast, but it never rained.

The air was cooler than usual.

After hurting her back from a fall while hiking, Lu Zhaozhao had laid in the villa for a full three days. After her incessant assurances and multiple examinations by the doctor, she finally had the chance to return to school.

Lu Zhaozhao didn’t particularly like school, nor was she averse to spending time with Song Sinian.

It was just… spending the whole day lying down was really… too exhausting!

There weren’t many classes in the morning, and she intended to use the lunch break to buy a bubble tea outside school. However, she ended up running into an unwelcome figure right at the school gates.

“Hey! Beautiful Miss!” From a distance, Xiao Mo greeted Lu Zhaozhao.

He was dressed smartly, resembling his past self.

She suddenly wondered, why hadn’t she noticed he was such a scumbag in her previous life?@@novelbin@@

Lu Zhaozhao nodded towards him and turned to leave when Xiao Mo reached out and stopped her, “Miss Lu, I trust you’ve been well, I’ve come to see you on purpose this time.”

The corners of Lu Zhaozhao’s eyebrows lifted ever so slightly, and she looked at Xiao Mo, feigning confusion, word by word, “I don’t think we’re very familiar with each other.”

Xiao Mo’s face stiffened, but he quickly recovered, “I’ve come on behalf of our old master, the elderly gentleman that Miss Lu saved on Beishan, I’m specifically here to thank you.”

“Uh…”

Their old master?

Since when did Mr. Song become Xiao Mo’s family member?

Quite the relationship to claim.

However, Lu Zhaozhao didn’t expose him. Instead, she tugged at the corner of her mouth, giving a polite smile, “It was just a little help at that time, the medical team was arranged by my husband, you should thank him if you’re grateful.”

Hearing this, a clear flicker of panic crossed Xiao Mo’s eyes, “I never expected President Song to be such a considerate person…”

The medical team was arranged by Song Sinian?

Could it be that he’d discovered their plan?

He had been puzzled as to why Lu Zhaozhao brought a medical team to Beishan and had wanted to take the opportunity to talk to her to probe for information.

Looking at the situation now, it seemed worse than he had imagined.

Miss Lu didn’t miss the complex emotion in his eyes, which suggested that Mr. Song’s recent “accident” might not be as straightforward as it appeared.

She needed to have someone investigate thoroughly, but before that… she had to get Xiao Mo to let his guard down.

She laughed lightly, casually explaining, “The last time I went to a charity dinner in Nanjing, I blistered my feet. Since then, every time I go out for an event, he either has someone bring a medical kit or accompanies me with a medical team. It really is too much.”

“…”

Xiao Mo was momentarily at a loss for words.

He had always thought that Song Sinian was indifferent to women and didn’t know how to please them.

But it now seemed that he was quite adept at this sort of thing.

Xiao Mo’s gaze swept over Miss Lu, and he happened to spot the red mark on her neck.

In an instant, a flame of jealousy was ignited in his heart.

He clenched his fist, almost grinding his molars as he said, “President Song is experienced and knowledgeable. He must be able to take care of everything.”

“…”

Miss Lu couldn’t help but sneer inwardly; Xiao Mo and Xiao Jinglan truly were birds of a feather, using the same tactics to discredit others.

She feigned ignorance and smiled at Xiao Mo, “Right, I also think my husband is amazing.”

“…”

Xiao Mo had originally wanted to sow discord and make Miss Lu realize that Song Sinian’s attentiveness was because he played around with many women.

But she hadn’t considered anything else at all and had simply followed along with what he had said.

Xiao Mo awkwardly tugged at the corner of his mouth, “Miss Lu, perhaps we should talk about when we can have dinner together instead?”

“Oh~~~ Dinner, right? I might need to go home and consult with Mr. Song. If he agrees, I can get back to you immediately.” Miss Lu forced a smile, trying her best not to look so antagonistic.

Otherwise, she really couldn’t restrain herself from wanting to twist off this scumbag’s head!

Xiao Mo’s smile nearly froze on his face; he managed to move his mouth corner reluctantly, “Surely you don’t need to discuss such a trivial matter with President Song, do you? After all, this is your own affair.”

Miss Lu waved her hands repeatedly, “No, no, my mother said that after getting married, I must listen to my husband honestly. That’s what makes a good wife.”

“…”

Xiao Mo raised his hand to lightly press his temple, “Don’t you feel suffocated living with Mr. Song like this? Having everything controlled by someone else.”

Miss Lu shook her head with an innocent look, “Not at all. Whatever Mr. Song tells me to do, I do; whatever he tells me not to do, I don’t do. I don’t need to worry about anything!”

“Uh…” This time, Xiao Mo was completely speechless.

He finally understood what Xiao Jinglan meant when she said, “Lu Zhaozhao has been spoiled by the Lu Family; she’s timid and lacks ambition.”

This wasn’t just a lack of ambition; this was outright having no desires at all.

Yet the more Miss Lu was like this, the more Xiao Mo found his heart itching.

The way she could be so easily influenced by her husband only intensified his impulse to completely snatch her away.

How could such a beautiful, cute, and obedient little woman belong to Song Sinian?

He was just lucky.

He just happened to be the heir to the Song Family and happened to marry a woman from the Lu Family.

Miss Lu was only so well-behaved because the man was Song Sinian.

If her husband were changed to him, she would look at him just as wholeheartedly with those starry eyes…
