Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Ye Manni's joy and excitement. Old Lu's eyes were heavy, and he couldn't see his emotions clearly.

Lu Xiuwen walked into the living room slowly, asking the butler beside him.

"How is grandpa doing recently?"

The butler picked up what Lu Xiuwen brought over and said with a smile, "It's okay, and I slept pretty well."

Hearing this, Lu Xiuwen's face improved a lot, and he turned to look at the sofa.

Just as he was about to call Mr. Lu with a smile, the smile on the corner of his mouth suddenly faded when he saw the back of him sitting on the sofa.

He paused, his delicate brows furrowed tightly.

When the butler saw Lu Xiuwen's reaction, he sighed heavily in his heart.

I don't know what the master thinks, knowing that the young master doesn't like that Miss Gu, but he still wants to get people together.

But it was very rare for Lu Xiuwen to come back, and the butler wanted to mend his relationship with Mr. Lu.

He smiled and said, "Master knew that you came back, so he specially asked the kitchen to make your favorite creamy shrimp. You..."

Before the housekeeper finished speaking, Lu Xiuwen turned around and strode out the door.

The butler was taken aback immediately, and subconsciously called out: "Master!"

Hearing the voice, old man Lu looked this way, and saw Lu Xiuwen striding towards the door, his face suddenly darkened.

"where are you going?"

Lu Xiuwen kept walking, and walked straight out the door.

Mr. Lu frowned, but he was not in a hurry, he just said lightly: "Don't forget your purpose of coming back today."

Hearing this, Lu Xiuwen, who was about to reach the porch, stopped and froze in place.

The housekeeper didn't know what Lu Xiuwen and Mr. Lu seemed to have agreed in private, and thought that Lu Xiuwen was definitely leaving today.

Seeing Lu Xiuwen stop, he breathed a sigh of relief.

In the next second, the displeasure on Lu Xiuwen's face subsided, he turned around and strode towards the sofa.

As early as when Lu Xiuwen turned around and strode away, Ye Manni's heart was raised high.

She was afraid that Lu Xiuwen would leave, so she almost lost her breath and took the initiative to catch up.

But when Lu Xiuwen appeared, she guessed that old man Lu wanted Lu Xiuwen back on purpose.

Presumably it was because of the child in her womb.

Thinking of this, Ye Manni calmed down instead.

As long as the child in her womb is alive, there will be an endless bond between her and Lu Xiuwen.

Even if Lu Xiuwen is unwilling, Mr. Lu will not let the blood of the Lu family flow out.

What's more, the upper-class circle knew about her relationship with Lu Xiuwen at the old man Lu's birthday banquet.

Even if Lu Xiuwen wanted to deny it, it would be difficult.

Thinking of this, Ye Manni's heart completely settled down, she picked up her teacup and took a sip of tea.

Lu Xiuwen walked to the sofa again, called "Grandpa" lightly, and sat down on the single sofa farthest from Ye Manni.

He leaned back on the back of the sofa, crossed his long legs, and wrinkled his brows slightly. His whole person revealed a sense of not getting close to strangers.

Mr. Lu didn't care about his appearance, so he just glanced at Ye Manni lightly.

"Now that you have children, your marriage should be put on the agenda."

Ye Manni didn't expect that Mr. Lu would bring up this matter so casually, the hand holding the teacup shook, and a lot of tea splashed out.

She hurriedly put down the teacup, wiped the tea on the back of her hand with a tissue, the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up.

Lu Xiuwen didn't give Ye Manni a single look, nor did he show any emotion on his face.

As if he hadn't heard anything just now, his face was sullen and he didn't make a sound.

Seeing his appearance, Mr. Lu sighed heavily.

"Even if you don't want to hold the wedding so soon, you can hold an engagement banquet first, at least to settle the relationship."

Lu Xiuwen remained silent with a sullen face.

Mr. Lu suddenly became angry and put down his teacup heavily.

The teacup smacked on the coffee table with a "snap".

He looked at Lu Xiuwen seriously, "Speak!"

Hearing this, Lu Xiuwen raised his eyes to look at Mr. Lu, his voice was unclear.

"Didn't you arrange everything, what else do you want me to say?"

Mr. Lu choked and didn't speak for a while.

Ye Manni's hands trembled in fright at Lu Xiuwen's sudden words.

But my heart jumped up.

She thought that Lu Xiuwen would directly refuse, but unexpectedly, although Lu Xiuwen was angry, he did not say a direct rejection.

No one spoke in the living room for a while, and the atmosphere became depressed.

The butler looked at Lu Xiuwen, and then at the very angry old man Lu.

Take the initiative to break the deadlock.

"Sir, dinner is ready, do you want to eat now?"

Mr. Lu gave Lu Xiuwen a cold look, and got up first.

The butler helped Mr. Lu to sit down at the dining table, and ordered the kitchen to start serving dishes.

After a meal, no one spoke, and the only sound left in the restaurant was the collision of chopsticks and plates.

Ye Manni couldn't stand the atmosphere, so she took the initiative to pick up a piece of fish for Mr. Lu with her serving chopsticks.

"Grandpa, today's fish is delicious, try it."

Mr. Lu's complexion improved a bit, "You are still sensible."

When Ye Manni heard this, she thought that Mr. Lu liked her food, so she lowered her eyes and smiled.

Just as he was about to pick another rib for Mr. Lu, he saw Mr. Lu put down his chopsticks and looked at Lu Xiuwen.

"Come to the study after eating."

After all, get up and go upstairs.

Ye Manni looked at the untouched fish in Mr. Lu's bowl, her smile froze on her face.

Lu Xiuwen on the opposite side didn't even look at her, he put down his chopsticks and got up to leave.

Ye Manni was the only one left in the restaurant for a while.

Ye Manni looked at the dishes on the table that were basically useless, and lost her appetite for a while.

But she finally saw Lu Xiuwen, she was reluctant to leave like this, ate food without taste, and waited for Lu Xiuwen to come down.

Upstairs study.

Old man Lu looked at Lu Xiuwen who was sitting across from him, his expression was very ugly.

"The children of the Lu family can't live outside. For the sake of the children, be patient."

When Lu Xiuwen heard this, he looked at Mr. Lu with sarcasm in his eyes.

"You actually believe that the child in her belly is mine?"

"if not?!"

Old Man Lu asked coldly, "You don't know what you did at the birthday party? The timing is right."

There was no emotion on Lu Xiuwen's face, and he stood up calmly.

"Just be happy."

After all, he turned around and was about to leave.

Mr. Lu slapped his palm on the table angrily, his voice was a little cold.

"Where are you going?"

Lu Xiuwen paused and continued walking towards the door.

Old man Lu looked at his back with a sullen face, seeing that Lu Xiuwen opened the door and was about to go out.

Finally he spoke again: "Ye Jianming is not something you can investigate, I advise you to stop."

Hearing these words, Lu Xiuwen suddenly turned his head to look at Mr. Lu with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see through Mr. Lu's thoughts.

"Do you know something?"

Mr. Lu's expression remained unchanged, and he just said calmly: "Ye Jianming is a lunatic, and his methods are dirty. You can't deal with him."
