Luo Ying hugged Lu Zhao tightly and reached out to touch Lu Zhao’s forehead.
Lu Zhao’s fever had already subsided, but he looked a little pale. He was far from 100%.
Luo Ying’s heart ached a little, and she gently stroked Lu Zhao’s back.
“I’ve missed you so much.” Lu Zhao reached out and hugged the woman tightly.
The woman’s fragrance soothed his chaotic thoughts.
“I miss you too. Don’t give your phone to anyone else in the future.”
Luo Ying sounded a little cross.
“Someone else?” Lu Zhao raised his head and looked straight at Luo Ying. “What other people?”
Luo Ying pouted unhappily. “There was an interview yesterday. I wanted to call you at that time, but I couldn’t get through to you. In the middle of the night, I called again, and a woman picked up.”
Luo Ying pouted. “I didn’t expect you to bring your beautiful little secretary with you on a business trip. Are you trying to make me jealous?”
Lu Zhao thought that her jealous pout was really cute and reached out to stroke her hair.
“She’s my doctor’s assistant. When I was sick, she and Sirius took care of me, but I’ve already told my doctor not to bring this woman again,” Lu Zhao said.
Luo Ying deliberately pinched Lu Zhao’s body twice. “Great. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll go to your doctor’s place to find out about her? I get jealous easily.”
“I’m very happy to know that you’re so jealous.” Lu Zhao lowered his head and gently touched the tip of Luo Ying’s nose with his. He was still sick and didn’t want to transfer his illness onto Luo Ying, so he held back from kissing her.
“Are you trying to kiss me?” Luo Ying asked, raising her head to kiss him.
Lu Zhao shook his head and reached out to touch her forehead. “I’m still sick. You’re going to shoot a movie and attend a press conference soon, so it’s better if you don’t catch what I’m having.”
Luo Ying buried her head in Lu Zhao’s arms, and the two of them quietly hugged each other.
“I hope you will always be by my side,” Lu Zhao suddenly said affectionately.
His words made Luo Ying’s heart ache.
She didn’t know if she would suddenly leave, just like how she suddenly came here. It was going to be devastating for the both of them.
She was already in love with Lu Zhao.
Just as Luo Ying was about to say something, the doorbell rang.
“Cheng Li, open the door,” Lu Zhao shouted.
Cheng Li was his new assistant. Xiao Ting had been following Luo Ying recently, but he still needed an assistant of his own.
Cheng Li brought in a box of desserts. It was a box that looked like a birdcage with beautiful patterns carved on it, and it looked very sophisticated.
“It’s a servant from the old residence. He said that the Old Master has sent some pastries for you and Madam to try.” Cheng Li placed the box on the coffee table.
Luo Ying looked at the box curiously.
Lu Zhao grabbed Luo Ying’s hand and looked at Cheng Li. “Take it out and deal with it.”
His hand was trembling slightly. His order was almost like a roar, which also startled Luo Ying.
Cheng Li was still relatively calm. “At once, sir.”
Luo Ying reached out and held Lu Zhao’s face. Lu Zhao’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and he frowned. “Was it because of that box of snacks? What was in that box of snacks?”
“What’s wrong? Did Grandpa send something over?” Luo Ying felt a little strange.
Lu Zhao took a deep breath. “When I was still at my mother’s place, Grandfather also sent this over. Although my mother didn’t feel anything unusual after eating it, she disappeared not long after.”
He had always suspected that there was something in the box. It could be a threatening note, or a severe insult.
Lu Zhao took a deep breath and held Luo Ying in his arms. “I won’t let my grandfather hurt you.”
Luo Ying was lost in thought about the box. What could destroy a woman’s emotional defense to such an extent?
Luo Ying couldn’t understand it.
“It’s okay. I’m fine. You don’t have to worry.” Luo Ying looked at Lu Zhao with heartache.
“But I want to know, is Grandpa really against our marriage and wants us to get a divorce? ‘
Lu Zhao’s brows suddenly furrowed, and he looked into Luo Ying’s eyes.. “What do you mean by this?”
