Chapter 1046 - You're the Only One I Truly Care About

Chapter 1046: You’re the Only One I Truly Care About
Butler Ye was expressionless as he watched Wang Yanran leave. All these years, Sir hadn’t been willing to accept even one of those women throwing themselves at him, what made her think that she would be able to captivate him?
After Butler Ye got in the car, the luxurious car sped away.

Sir, are we heading home now?

He worked overtime last night in the office and hadn’t gone home.
Lu Jinwen took out his phone from his pocket, switching the screen on, there weren’t any notifications for him. She hadn’t called him, nor texted him at all.
He threw his phone on the seat beside him, unbuttoning the top two buttons of his shirt. The corners of his lips raised, revealing an exhausted and dejected, yet self-deprecating smile.
She would never contact him first.
Even when he hadn’t gone home last night and made a call, it was the maid who picked up the phone. He hadn’t managed to hear her voice at all.
Actually, he really wished that he would receive a call from her in the middle of work. He really wished that she would be waiting for him to be back from work, leaving a light on for him.
In fact, he was really greedy. He not only wanted her presence, but also her heart.
Lu Jinwen closed his eyes, massaging his brows.
A melodious ringtone sounded.
It was Gu Mohan.
Lu Jinwen picked up the call.
Hello.


Hello, Dad, how have you been? Has Mom been cold towards you?
Gu Mohan asked.
Lu Jinwen didn’t have much of an expression.
Are you calling to poke fun at me?

How would I dare to? Dad, let me give you some advice. You need to have techniques and strategies when you want to woo a woman. You have to be nice to her for a while, and then ignore her for a while. This will only make her understand that you have a strong place in her heart. You have to play hard to get,
Gu Mohan advised.
Lu Jinwen raised the corners of his lips.
So this is how you treat Mo’er?


…


Rascal, you’d better watch out.
Lu Jinwen hung up the phone call.

…


Sir, are we heading home now?
Butler Ye asked again.
…
Lu Family Manor.
The maid approached Lin Xuanji.
Madam, Sir is not home yet. Are we going to wait until Sir is back before serving dinner?

Little Gu Yelin looked at the dark skies outside.
Grandma, it’s already eight o’clock now. Is Grandpa not coming back again?

It was already late.
Lin Xuanji ruffled his hair.
Niuniu, are you hungry?

Little Gu Yelin stuck his tongue out guiltily.
A little.

Lin Xuanji looked at the maid and instructed,
Let’s not wait for him, serve dinner now.


Of course, Madam.

…
In the dining room.
Lin Xuanji sat opposite little Gu Yelin and he pointed at a soup.
Grandma, I want to have some of this soup, it looks really good.

Lin Xuanji picked up a soup ladle, wanting to scoop some of it for Little Munchkin when she suddenly stopped.
Wasn’t this bullwhip soup? It was meant to increase men’s vitality. Little Munchkin shouldn’t drink it.
Lin Xuanji looked at one of the maids.
Who prepared this soup?


Madam, this soup… was requested by Elder Miss’ husband.

Gu Mohan?

We received a delivery this morning, it was a box full of bullwhip inside. Elder Miss’ husband said it was meant for… Sir, to help improve his health.
The maid’s face flushed red as she explained.

…

Lin Xuanji was speechless.

Grandma, what’s wrong with the soup? I really want to have some.
Little Gu Yelin looked at the soup, almost salivating.
Little Munchkin hadn’t ever been so interested in food before, but once he smelled the fragrance of the bullwhip soup, he just couldn’t wait to drink it.
What should she do about this little munchkin here?
Lin Xuanji placed the soup ladle down.
Niuniu, you can’t have this soup.


Why? Is this soup made specially for Grandpa only?

Looking at the Little Munchkin’s innocent expression, Lin Xuanji’s gaze turned evasive as she answered,
Mm.

Little Gu Yelin nodded his head, understanding it all at last.
Two beams of white lights shone through the cold frosty air at night. The doors were opened, a gust of cold wind rushed inside the house and an imposing figure appeared.
Lu Jinwen had returned.
The maid quickly crouched down, changing his shoes for him. Lu Jinwen took off his coat, placing it on the sofa before entering the dining room.
Little Gu Yelin was excited to see Lu Jinwen.
Grandpa, you’re finally back!


Mm.

Lu Jinwen responded simply, stopping beside Lin Xuanji. He had one hand in his pocket, raking his fingers through her hair with the other hand before caressing her face.
You didn’t wait for me?

He had this masculine scent that was somewhat refreshing.
Lin Xuanji lifted her eyes, he stood against the light, blocking away all of the light in front of her. The entire space in the dining room became oppressive once he came. This man’s aura was so strong, just like a king.

I thought that you weren’t coming back,
Lin Xuanji answered.

Yeah, Grandpa. Grandma and I saw you outside today in the afternoon. You were with a beautiful aunty. Grandpa, you have to be honest, were you fooling around with that beautiful aunty yesterday night and this afternoon?

Little Munchkin crossed his arms to show that he was angry.
Lu Jinwen raised his brows, lowering his eyes to look at Lin Xuanji.
You saw me in the afternoon? Why didn’t you say hi?

Little Munchkin humphed.
We weren’t going to spoil your plans! Oh right, Grandpa, Grandma said that she wasn’t going to let you off tonight. She’s going to make sure you can’t get out of bed tomorrow morning!


…

O-Oh god, what did the little munchkin just say?

Lin Xuanji hadn’t expected Little Munchkin to say such things. This little rascal had really been led astray by Mo’er and Mohan!
She quickly gave the little munchkin a kick under the table.

Ha.
The man laughed.
Xuanji, you’re going to make sure I can’t get out of bed tomorrow morning?


I didn’t…


Of course! Grandpa, look, Grandma specially had this soup made for you. It’s bullwhip soup!
Little Munchkin quickly added.

…

Lin Xuanji was dumbfounded. How did the little munchkin even know this was bullwhip soup?
She instantly figured everything out. Did this little munchkin conspire with his daddy, Gu Mohan?
What a cheeky and manipulative little boy!
He really was cunning!
Her vision darkened. Lu Jinwen had bent over, kissing her on the forehead as he lowered his voice, explaining,
Don’t overthink. I was working overtime at the office yesterday. Butler Ye is my witness. Regarding that Wang Yanran, her mother’s heart is compatible with yours and I was just talking to her about the compensation terms so she’d sign the papers. Don’t you know me well enough, you’re the only one I truly miss and care about.
