Good Morning, Hubby! 4

Tong Lu was dejected. Her previous relationship was over a long time ago. She could not muster her confidence and start anew.

“Grandma, I have already married once. Other men might not consider me as a future wife.”

“Why are you, a young woman, even more old-fashioned than me, an old lady?” Eldress Leng said, “You’re just about the right age to start a new life. Besides, Shanshan is not your biological daughter. You’re not so bad yourself. Be confident. If you really can’t find a suitor, I’ll get you some.”

Tong Lu smiled awkwardly. “Grandma, it’s not necessary. I’ll pursue a relationship myself when I meet someone good. Don’t you worry. I know where I stand and I understand what you mean to say.”

Pleased, Eldress Leng nodded. “You’re indeed a sensible young woman.”

After the old lady left, Tong Lu was suddenly not in the mood to fly the kite. She carried Shanshan back to Leng Yejin’s mansion. All she could think about was Shi Yang, whom she had to forget. She was rather dejected and did not pay attention to her surroundings until Shanshan shouted sweetly, “Dad!”

Tong Lu snapped out of her reverie and saw Leng Yejin’s tall figure as he strode towards her slowly and steadily. A dozen subordinates followed behind him. Each of them was well-dressed and groomed. Six cars were parked by the curb, forming a line. The bodyguards opened the car door. They then stood aside and waited for him to come over.

Tong Lu knew not to block his path. She turned sideways and made way for him.

But Leng Yejin did not simply leave. He took Shanshan from her and lifted the child into the air. “I see you’d gone to fly the kite with your mother. Was it fun?”

“It was fun. We even ran into great grandmother. She also said that she wants to find mum a husband.”

Shanshan threw her tiny arms around Leng Yejin’s neck in a bossy manner. She let out a chuckle. “My mum is about to have a husband.”

“What?”

“Great grandmother said that it’s a pity that my mum doesn’t have a husband, so she wants to find my mum a husband to give her some love. Is that right, mum?”

“What’s going on?” Leng Yejin glanced at Tong Lu.

Tong Lu felt a chill down run her spine for unknown reasons, even though her brother-in-law sounded casual and indifferent. “It’s nothing. Eldress Leng said that I am still young, and I should not be trapped in a marriage with a dead husband. She wanted me to think about my future.”

“How do you think about your future exactly? Now that your ex-boyfriend is back, you want to get back together with him? If I remember correctly, he is now your younger sister’s husband.”

Leng Yejin’s cold glance brushed past her. The air around him was domineering and authoritative. The atmosphere was so chilling and oppressive. Tong Lu felt rather uneasy under his gaze.

She was embarrassed and frustrated. “It’s not like there’s only one man on earth. Eldress Leng said that she would introduce some men to me.”

“Oh, like a blind date?”

For some reason, Leng Yejin’s tone of voice had a hint of sarcasm. It made her unhappy.

“Are you bothered?” Tong Lu pursed her lips. “Is it because I’m your older brother’s widow, that’s why you are bothered by this?”

Shanshan blinked her eyes sharply. “Dad, are you jealous?”

“I don’t feel bothered by such a trifle matter.” Caught off guard, Leng Yejin grimaced. Suddenly, his facial expression relaxed. All the emotions on his face faded away. He glanced at Tong Lu with indifference. “But I remember a phone call from my older brother before he passed away. He said that you’re not to remarry for the rest of your life. It has only been a few years, and you’re getting insatiable?”

Tong Lu stuttered, “I…”

Leng Yejin cut her off right away and said with a humorless smile. “However, since my older brother is already gone, it doesn’t matter anymore. If you really can’t stand being alone and want to remarry, I’ll congratulate you and get you an expensive dowry!”

Once he finished speaking, he parted his long legs and strode off. His attitude seemed relaxed and indifferent yet mixed with a hint of anger and aggression. He got into the car without looking back. From the way he spoke, it sounded as if he was not promising her a dowry. Instead, he sounded like he was going to prepare a white envelope for someone’s funeral.
