Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Could It Be He Wants to Remarry Her?
Finally, he asked those few sentences.
Ji Muye’s heart raced up to his throat, an inexplicable anxiety coiled in his chest.
“Do my remarriage concerns have anything to do with you?”
Lu Xining’s voice was indifferent as she shot him a cold glance and walked around him towards the bathroom door.
The images of three little ones were clearly visible through the frosted glass door.
She knocked on the door and said to the children, “Ji Chao, Ji Ze, open the door, or mom will get angry.”
As soon as the two little ones heard this tone, they immediately caved in.
Five minutes later.
Lu Xining, neatly dressed, sat on the living room sofa, looking at her two sons who were standing in front of her, apologizing with their heads bowed.
“We’re sorry, mom, we know we were wrong.”
There was also a domineering CEO romance novel on the table in front of her—it was the new book that her female assistant was recently following.
It must have been left behind while playing with the three children.
Who would have known that the twins would see it and even attempt to enact certain scenes from it.
Little Dumpling didn’t understand what had happened, but she also bowed her head and admitted her mistake, standing obediently and endearingly between her two brothers, holding each by the hand.
Ji Muye, having changed out of his wet clothes, entered the room and saw three dejected little faces turn to look at him.
The soft, warm yellow light illuminated his facial features, making him look as divinely handsome as a deity.
Outside, he always seemed to give off a strong sense of oppression, which was now all put away, but he didn’t indulge the children either.
“Ji Chao, Ji Ze, not everything written in books is worth learning, some things might set a bad example for your sister.”
“You are not allowed to do such things again, understand?”
The twins nodded obediently, “We understand.”
Ji Muye then rubbed Little Dumpling’s head, “Nuonuo, can you take your brothers to sleep first?”
Lu Nuonuo turned to look at her mother, who had not interfered, and then she took her two brothers to the master bedroom to sleep.
The living room fell silent once more.
The handsome, tall figure just sat down across from her when Lu Xining got up to leave.
Ji Muye saw her hurrying to escape from his presence, his mood suddenly sank, his fingers tightened on his thigh, and his eyes blazed as he stared at the cold-faced woman in front of him.
“What’s the rush, scared I’ll eat you?”
“Um, scared, scared you’ll say something stupid again and affect my sleep.”
Lu Xining’s response stopped the man’s words in their tracks.
Ji Muye was just about to speak when he heard the vibration of his phone, the coldness on the woman’s face dissipated suddenly as she saw the incoming caller ID.
Lu Xining picked up the phone and went out to the balcony of the living room, with a few words drifting in with the night breeze.
Old Gong, C-country, waiting for you…
The man clenched his fist tightly, his face could no longer be described as simply ugly.
It was at this moment that a message from Yan Dong came again.
This time, a screenshot was sent as well, clearly showing that Lu Xining’s marital status was divorced.
[President Ji, it’s confirmed that the lady hasn’t remarried!!!]
[The lady has only been married to you, she hasn’t remarried since.]
[Still haven’t identified the man in the previous photo, I will assign more staff to investigate.]
Yan Dong seemed to be even more excited than Ji Muye.
The man turned off the phone screen, his gaze falling on the slender figure outside the window.
Lu Xining had lost weight again during this time.
Her waist, which was already a slender gripful, now looked as if it could be encompassed by a single hand.
Having confirmed that Lu Xining had not remarried, the iron chain that had always restrained Ji Muye’s actions began to dissolve bit by bit.
A flame was slowly rising at the bottom of his heart.
As soon as Lu Xining hung up the phone, she sensed a familiar, chilling presence approaching her from behind.
She was then trapped by Ji Muye between herself and the railing, her eyebrows knitting lightly, “What are you doing!”
The man’s gaze on her had changed.
Those icy, deep eyes carried an accusation, “Lu Xining, you clearly haven’t remarried, so why did you lie to me?”
Seeing him like this, Lu Xining understood he must have used his power to clear the way and investigate some of her files and records.
She curled her lips into a cold smile, “What, President Ji, did you figure everything out?”
“It took quite some time for someone of your stature to look into a woman. Isn’t that somewhat beneath you?”
“And yes, when we were married you suspected me of cheating, and after our divorce, you question whether I instantly remarried. In your eyes, I must be a woman who can’t be without a man.”
Detecting the sarcasm in her words, Ji Muye frowned, “I’ve never said that.”
Lu Xining gave him a cold glance, “But isn’t that what your actions imply?”
Ji Muye lowered his gaze to her charming and beautiful face, “Lu Xining, do we really have to make such a scene between us?”
She suddenly looked up and counter-asked, “Does it impact you whether I have remarried or not? If it’s for the children, regardless of whether I am remarried, my love for them won’t change. If it is…”
Was it because he wanted to remarry her?
Lu Xining shook her head internally.
It seems she really was overwhelmed by the recent development of new products; she was actually entertaining such absurd thoughts.
The man was silent, his eyes as deep as the ocean, fixed on the indifference and ridicule at the bottom of the woman’s eyes.
Ji Muye saw through the unspoken words behind her, and his heart clenched as a domineering presence enveloped her.
He continued her line of thought, “Why not continue?”
Lu Xining came back to her senses, “There’s nothing more to say.”
“The night is far spent, and I have matters to attend to tomorrow. If President Ji has nothing else, please leave early.”
Just thinking about her attitude towards Song Henian compared to her treatment of him made Ji Muye feel uncomfortable.
“Do you really want me to leave that much?”
“Lu Xining, I took several hours on a flight to come here…”
To question her about remarriage?
Lu Xining couldn’t quite grasp what this man was thinking.
In the past, she might have taken the time to figure it out, but now she didn’t want to.
“Yes, I want you to leave.”
“Before the summer break ends, it would be best if you stayed away from me.”
Rubbing his throbbing temples, Ji Muye calmed down briefly after catching her scent.
His body had been acting strangely these days, often feeling exhausted. If it was just a case of insomnia, the symptoms wouldn’t be so severe.
Shrugging off Ji Muye, Lu Xining returned to her room to rest.
Whether the man chose to continue sleeping in the study or to leave immediately, it was all the same to her.
An important patient was scheduled to arrive the next day.
Her teacher personally reminded her to take good care of this patient, demanding her utmost attention.
Who knew that upon entering her office the next day, she would see a familiar man?
Lu Xining: “Why is it you?”
He was actually the esteemed visitor her teacher mentioned!
Ji Muye sat calmly on the sofa, his eyes revealing no surprise or confusion upon seeing her.
Clearly, he already knew her identity.
His voice was low and magnetic, “So you really are Professor X.”
Lu Xining no longer denied it.
She looked down at the data report just handed to her by her female assistant.
ZN Laboratory had the world’s most precise diagnostic equipment, capable of a more detailed analysis of human body metrics.
The report in her hand was from the check-up she just performed on Ji Muye early that morning.
Seeing a few fluctuating data points, her expression darkened.
Her eyes filled with shock as she looked at the man, “Ji Muye, have you been messing around?”
Ji Muye frowned, “…What are you blabbering about?”
What do you think?
