The man was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, looking proper and clean-cut.

He even had a pair of black-framed glasses resting on his nose.

All three of them were stunned.

The man panicked and adjusted his glasses.

Lu Ning gaped at him in confusion. “Hello, are you… Daddy’s friend?”

The man coughed instinctively, not knowing if he should agree with her or not. He both nodded and shook his head, puzzling Lu Ning and Lu Jingzhi.

Fortunately, Lu Zhi and Shen Yunci came out when they heard the commotion; they were also stunned to see the two of them.

“Our darlings are back!”

Shen Yunci walked out and hugged the two of them.

Lu Zhi shot the man a look, indicating for him to slip away quietly.

However, before he could slip away, Lu Ning spotted him.

“Uncle… aren’t you staying for dinner?” Then, she looked at Lu Zhi. “Daddy, who’s this?”

Lu Zhi could only reply calmly, “This is your Uncle Zhou. He still has something on, so he won’t be staying for dinner. Hurry on now, Old Zhou.”

Uncle Zhou frantically nodded and looked at Lu Ning. “Goodbye, Young Mistress… Ah, no no. Um, goodbye, Little Ning!”

With that, he ran downstairs.

Lu Zhi held his forehead helplessly. He could only hope that Lu Ning would not overthink it.

Actually, Lu Ning did not hear what he had said as his words were unclear.

She simply felt that this uncle was a little strange.

“Stop looking, come in now!”

“Why didn’t you tell Mommy that you’ll be back early? I could have gone to buy groceries to make dinner for you.”

“That’s right. Are you tired? Sit down and rest.”

The two of them pushed the two children onto the sofa.

Shen Yunci and Lu Zhi grabbed all the things in Lu Ning’s hands.

Lu Jingzhi silently placed the things in his hand on the table.

“Oh right! Mommy even studied how to make a cake this morning, and it was a success! I’ll bring some for you to try.”

Shen Yunci happily went to the kitchen to get the cake. Lu Zhi looked at the two of them. “You look like you lost weight, did you not eat properly? Didn’t you go to the places which Dad had recommended? Was it too troublesome?”

Lu Ning did not know whether to laugh or cry as she looked at him. “Dad, we’ve only been out for two days.”

Lu Zhi looked at her with a sad expression. “It’s only been two days? Dad feels it’s been as long as two months.”

Lu Ning:

Lu Jingzhi: ‘

Shen Yunci ran over from the kitchen with the cake. “Quick! Try it and see if it’s delicious. ”

Lu Jingzhi was about to reach for a fork when Shen Yunci stopped him. “There’s mango. You can’t eat it, it’s for Sister.”

Lu Jingzhi: ‘

Taking the fork from Shen Yunci’s hands, Lu Ning took a bite—it was tangy and sweet, and really delicious.

Lu Ning smiled and nodded. “Yes, it’s delicious! Mommy, with your baking skills we can open a dessert shop in the future.”

Nodding, Shen Yunci made a mental note.

Lu Jingzhi peered at Shen Yunci. “Mom, did you make it mango on purpose?”

Shen Yunci immediately gave him an innocent look. “How can that be? Why would I? I made a mango cake since I only had mangoes with me. When I buy the ingredients tomorrow, I’ll make a strawberry cake for you, okay?”

Lu Jingzhi nodded, but it was obvious that he did not believe her. Shen Yunci abruptly changed the topic. “Go wash up. Look at your dirty faces.” As she spoke, she chased the two of them back to their rooms.

Shen Yunci watched the two of them enter the room and close their doors. She turned to Lu Zhi. “Do you think Ning’ning will overthink it?”

Lu Zhi pondered for a bit. “I don’t think so, she didn’t mention anything. If Ning’ning had any doubts she would’ve brought them up immediately. Let’s not panic..”
