Chapter 14

  • Is it Lu Zhihuai again?
  • Luojinyi felt a little uneasy. When she opened the door, it was indeed Lu Zhihuai, holding Lu Keke in his arms.
  • Keke looked a bit listless, snuggling weakly in Lu Zhihuai's embrace.
  • "Mr. Lu, what is this about?"
  • Lu Zhihuai smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, I have a business trip tomorrow, and Keke doesn't like flying, so..."
  • So, does this mean he wants himself and Keke to stay at his place for a while?
  • Overwhelmed with joy, Luojinyi's mind went blank for a moment. "Alright, then Keke can stay at my place for these two days."
  • It seemed that Lu Zhihuai also felt a little embarrassed to trouble his neighbor like this, but unfortunately, Keke didn't like staying alone at home and kept clamoring to come to Luojinyi's house.
  • What surprised him even more was that he actually thought, for once, that Luojinyi was a reliable choice.
  • Just as Luojinyi was about to take the luggage from Lu Zhihuai's hand and Keke from his arms, Lu Zhihuai reached into his pocket and handed her a thick stack of cash.
  • "Mr. Lu, you're too polite. It's only natural for neighbors to help each other."
  • But Lu Zhihuai shook his head. "Keke has caught a cold these past few days. If necessary, please take her to the hospital and use this money for the expenses."
  • "...Oh, I see..." She felt a little embarrassed. She had misunderstood.
  • However, Lu Zhihuai added, "The rest can be considered as the cost of lodging here."
  • Luojinyi touched her nose, forced a smile, and didn't know how to respond. She could only silently calculate how to return the money to him when he came back.
  • "Well then, I'll come to pick up Keke the day after tomorrow."
  • Luojinyi nodded, took Keke from Lu Zhihuai, and watched him leave.
  • Closing the door, Luojinyi held Keke's little hand and walked into the house, gently patting her head with affection. "Your dad has left. You'll be sleeping at Niki's house tonight. What would you like to eat? Sister Niki will serve you."
  • But Keke seemed a bit less energetic than usual tonight. She looked up at Luojinyi and said in a muffled voice, "Keke wants to sleep..."
  • Luojinyi felt strange, and Moore pointed to the half-opened suitcase not far away. "Keke probably took cold medicine just now, so she's feeling drowsy."
  • At that moment, Luojinyi noticed that there was indeed a blister pack of capsules in the suitcase, with one missing.
  • Luojinyi could only nod and take Keke to the room to let her rest.
  • ...
  • The next evening, in the suite of a five-star hotel in Country Z, Lu Zhihuai's door was knocked.
  • "Come in." Lu Zhihuai spoke calmly.
  • Assistant Lin walked in with a folder, bowing respectfully. "Mr. Lu, I have investigated the information about Miss Niki that you asked for last time. Here is all the information we currently have."
  • "Thank you."
  • Lu Zhihuai took the documents and opened them. As soon as he glanced at the first page, he froze. His slender and well-defined hands began to tremble slightly.
  • A hint of astonishment flashed through his brown eyes. How could this be possible? Niki's real name is actually...
  • Luojinyi!
