After Being Forced to Become a Bigshot, I Only Want to be Normal - Chapter 148

Chapter 148: Starting a Company

Lu Ning stayed where she was and looked at the both of them, who had stopped a short distance away.

Lù Yue’an squatted down to meet Lu Jingzhi’s eyes. “How have you been recently, Little Darling?”

She stole a glance at Lu Ning as she said that.

When Lu Jingzhi saw her reaching for his head, he reflexively dodged her hand.

“I’m doing fine.”

Lù Yue’an did not think much of it. Lu Jingzhi had never liked being touched since he was young, to the extent that he would even avoid Shen Yunci.

She gave him a gentle smile. “Why didn’t you come for Sister’s birthday? Did

Mommy and Daddy not want to bring you?”

Lu Jingzhi looked straight at her and asserted, “I was celebrating Sister’s birthday. ”

Lù Yue’an’s hand, which was zipping up his jacket, froze.

After a moment, she smiled at him as if nothing had happened. “Sister found a new dessert shop. When you have time, I’ll bring you there, alright?”

When Lù Yue’an looked at him, she thought that he would reject her. She was simply looking for an excuse to speak with Lu Jingzhi more; her goal was to frustrate Lu Ning.

Unexpectedly, Lu Jingzhi actually agreed.

“The day after tomorrow, pick me up from school. Don’t come to the school gate, just wait for me on the nearest street.”

Lù Yue’an was startled for a moment. As she was about to say something, Lu Jingzhi spoke up. “My school ends ten minutes earlier than yours. You can get your driver to fetch me first before picking you up.”

For a moment, Ltl Yue’an was unable to say anything in response; she gawked at him and could only nod. “Alright. Then, I’ll get the chauffeur to pick you up the day after tomorrow.”

Lu Jingzhi nodded. “Okay, goodbye.”

Then, he turned around and walked towards Lu Ning.

When Lu Ning saw him coming over, she instinctively placed an arm around his shoulder. Her other hand stroked his head, seemingly out of habit. Lù Yue’an slowly stood up, staring at that hand on Lu Jingzhi’s head.

It was obvious that Lu Jingzhi did not reject her at all.

On their way back, they passed by the store again. Lu Jingzhi gazed inside and saw a lot of exquisite handbags, arranged in neat, tidy rows.

He thought back to how those girls had all been holding all sorts of different handbags; Ltl Yue’an also had one.

He tugged Lu Ning’s arm. “Sister.”

Lu Ninz looked down towards him. “Hm?”

“Do you like handbags?”

Lu Ning glanced in the direction he was pointing. “Nope, I don’t.”

It was the truth—she truly did not fancy such things. She had never been very interested in these; while other girls her age pursued luxury goods, handbags and diamond-studded jewelry, she had been following Old Master Ltl in and out of the company to look at reports.

Compared to those handbags, she preferred to study complicated data.

“Then what do you like? Diamonds?”

“Gold?”

Standing at the side, Shen Yunci added.

Lu Ning pondered for a moment. “Starting a company, I guess.”

Before they knew it, it had become nighttime as the family was shopping around. They decided to eat out before heading home.

Near the mall, there was a restaurant called the Virtue Pavilion; its furnishings and decorations were of an antique style.

This store was highly popular, and the food they served was delicious. Reservations had to be booked at least a week in advance.

When Lu Zhi and Shen Yunci pointed at the restaurant saying they wanted to eat there, Lu Ning was in a bind.

Previously, when she came with Old Master 1.4b, the store would accommodate them on account of the Ltl family’s reputation, but now…

Looking at how eager they were, Lu Ning resolved to give it a try.

She asked them to wait outside, and went in herself. Who knows what would happen inside? It was better not to let them get hurt..
