Chapter 899 Such An Iceberg...
Everyone went inside the mansion once they finished greeting each other.
The ones who just arrived went to their rooms to freshen up.
Jiang Yuyan excused herself, and Lu Lijun too felt like going to his room as he was tired from working for the entire day. Just as he walked towards the staircase, he saw Jiang Yuyna going upstairs too.
He didn't mean to follow her, so he climbed the stairs slowly, keeping the distance between them. Every step she took, he would try to observe her.
Jiang Yuyan was silent the entire day while working or even during short breaks. Lu Lijun continued walking behind her at a distance, but she didn't turn to look at him for even once as if she was immersed in her thoughts.
They reached the second floor. Lu Lijun stopped at the staircase and continued looking at her, walking towards her room. Once she closed the door, he stepped ahead, but his sight never stopped looking at the door of her room.
There was something he wanted to talk to her and ask her something, but he didn't know what. She was so distant that he felt puzzled all the time about what she thought and what was in her mind.
-------
After so long, the entire family was there at the dining table, and the atmosphere looked lively with everyone talking to someone. Lu Lian being pregnant was like icing on the cake as it made everyone excited for the coming baby.
Grandma was the happiest person though she didn't show it by being talkative like others. These were the moments she missed the most when her entire family was in front of her, talking, laughing, arguing, and she witnessed it all silently while interrupting her blatant husband once in a while when no one dared to stop him.
Though the person who was most precious to her was not there, she could only wish his soul to be in peace.
"It's good to have everyone together," elder Lu smiled ear to ear.
Lu Jinhai looked at his mother, who looked happy after so long and felt relieved. His efforts to call everyone back paid off. He just wished his mother to recover and be like before.
"Lu Bao, you are staying here till you give birth to a baby," elder Lu declared.
Lu Bao looked at her husband for his opinion though she wished to stay back.
"Why are you looking at me? You are free to do what you feel right," her husband Mu Xichen spoke.
"But your parents," she asked in a low voice.
"Leave them to me," he spoke.
"So it's final, Lu Bao will stay here," elder Lu spoke as he added, "Now start searching for nice names for the baby.
"I want grandma to decide names," Lu Bao said as she looked at her grandma with anticipation.
"I will find some old names for the baby that you won't like," said grandma, but she liked that her granddaughter considered her.
"It's okay, grandma. Old names are in fashion. You select a name, then I will give him western touch, and tada...it will turn into a modern one," Lu Bao insisted.
The way she talked so cheerfully made everyone smile as she was so adorable.
Lu Chen was surprised by his daughter's behavior and whispered to his wife, "Since when has our daughter turned so thoughtful?"
"I am surprised too," Su Hui replied, and both smiled.
"Baby's father should decide the name," grandma suggested.
"He keeps calling me weird names, and I don't wish him to find one for our baby," Lu Bao countered.
Mu Xichen nodded, "Well, that's true. I want to pass it to the baby's uncles. Let them take responsibility for the name, and even if the baby didn't like it in the future, they would be the ones to blame."
Mu Xichen was one nice man who loved Lu Bao and always gave in to her wishes. The family members knew it, and they respected him for handling their childish and naughty girl so maturely.
Lu Bao exclaimed with happiness, "That's a good idea," and looked at her brothers. "You three have to decide the names for my baby, and in the future, I will decide the names for your babies."
The expressions on the faces of these three changed.
Lu Han spoke, "Keep me out of it as I don't have a plan for a baby. You can ask Lu Feng and Lu Lijun as they might plan to have kids soon."
COUGH-COUGH
Lu Feng and Lu Lijun almost choked with food and didn't know what to say. Both looked at their elder brother, and he ignored these two smiling mischievously.
"So done. You two have to decide the name," Lu Bao declared.
Ning Jiahui, who was silent, talked, "Lu Lijun is young. He has time, but Lu Feng..."
"I have no such plan," Lu Feng didn't look at anyone as he maintained his usual stern expressions.
"As expected of my stubborn brothers," Lu Bao said and looked at Lu Lijun, "Lu Lijun, at least you don't disappoint us. I want my niece or nephew to play with me. You should give me one soon as I lost hope with our elder brothers."
Before Lu Lijun could say anything, Lu Lian spoke, "I wonder if his kids would be nice like their mother as it's obvious he will marry the best girl or they would be like little icebergs like him."
"I don't mind having cute icebergs if they are Lu Lijun's kids," Lu Bao added.
No-one stopped these two from talking about Lu Lijun and teasing him because his sisters were the only ones who could dare to tease him, and he won't say anything.
"I don't plan on marrying anyone?" Lu Lijun declared.
"Why?" Lu Bao asked.
"Just," he replied and excused himself as he went out of the dining room.
"Such an iceberg," Lu Bao sighed.
Others didn't mind it as he was like this since he returned, but Lu Feng was the only one who was bothered with it as he thought about what An Tian said to him and what he felt about An Tian's opinion.
Lu Feng looked at Jiang Yuyan, who was eating silently as if she was not there.
