Chapter 1250 - Increase The Stamina

"What's going on?" The two heard the voice, and they looked at Ning Jiahui, who was standing near the staircase of their floor. 

As she approached them, Jiang Yuyan's palms turned sweaty, and her heart beat faster. Through her greeted teeth, she said, "Please don't say anything at this moment. I beg you."

Lu Lijun heard her but didn't react while Jiang Yuyan pulled her hand, which he let go of.

"Are you two fighting again," Ning Jiahui asked coldly and looked at Jiang Yuyan, "Is he again throwing tantrums and troubling you?"

"No, mother, he was just…."

"Mother, she is the only one I can trouble rightfully," Lu Lijun interrupted her. 

"You are not a kid now. At least let her live peacefully. Instead of troubling her, you should think about how to support her and lessen her burden of business and all the responsibilities," Ning Jiahui said. 

"This is what I am trying to do, mother, and I know I am not a kid anymore. You can trust her with me," he replied.

Ning Jiahui felt puzzled by the situation and looked at Jiang Yuyan, "Are you hiding something from me to defend him."

"No, Mother," she replied and asked, "Why are you here, mother? I was about to come downstairs."

"I was here to see him," Ning Jiahui replied and looked at Lu Lijun, "Didn't you say you plan to sleep for long and not to wake you up? Then why are you awake?"

"I plan to go to the office, and I thought to go with Yuyan," he replied.

"Aren't you tired?" Ning Jiahui asked.

"No, mother. I had enough sleep," Lu Lijun replied.

"Have breakfast and then leave."

"I'll have it in the office. I'll be late."

"Fine!" Ning Jiahui looked at Jiang Yuyan, "If he troubles you, don't need to put up with him like before. He is not a kid to listen to everything he says and coax him."

"Yes, mother. This time I'll make sure to pull his ears to get some sense into him. Don't worry," Jiang Yuyan said, looking all serious as if she meant it. 

"Both of you can leave. I have to instruct servants to make some changes in his room," Ning Jiahui said, "Do you want to change anything in your room, Yuyan?" Ning Jiahui asked though she knew Jiang Yuyan never changed a single thing in her room, and everything was placed at the same place like in the past. Even the pen that Lu Qiang used was placed on the table in the pen holder in the same way though she never used it, willing to keep it as it is.

"No, mother."

"Fine!"

The two left and Ning Jiahui went to Lu Lijun's room.

The two reached the office like usual, and Lu Lijun didn't disturb her during work hours. She had asked Xiao Min to arrange the breakfast for Lu Lijun, and this time he accepted it obediently. 

"You didn't even ask me to have a bite from your breakfast," Noah complained. 

"It's sent by my wife. If you want, I can tell Jake to send it for you," Lu Lijun countered and passed him a glass and a mug of coffee, "This one you can have as I have brought it."

Noah ignored that coffee mug and asked, "That means you had talked to Jake."

"Why would you think like that? I was just saying it to mock you," Lu Lijun countered. 

"Whatever! He should better not come in front of me, or he will surely get a beating from me."

In the evening, Lu Lian went to Ming Mansion as Elder Ming had asked her to come for dinner because a day before, she had to leave without finishing her meal because of his stubborn grandson. 

"Good to see you, dear. I thought because of that fool, you will abandon us too," Elder Ming said. 

Ming Rusheng, who came downstairs, heard it, "If someone can't stand how I behave, that doesn't make me a fool, but that person is weak."

"The one who can't value the right person and treasure them, then he in fact is a fool," Elder Ming countered.

"I don't see such a person around to feel like I should treasure them, of course, except for my family," he countered.

Before elder Ming could say anything, Ming Lan smiled at Ming Rusheng mockingly, "It's okay, dear husband. As long as I treasure you, it should be enough," she looked at Grandpa, "I am starving. We should have dinner now."

"That's like my girl. You don't have to be hesitant here. Just be like it's your own home," elder Lu said and left with her to the dining room. 

She looked at Ming Rusheng, "My love, aren't you planning to skip your dinner?"

Ming Rusheng felt something was fishy the way she smiled. That day she left in a hurry, and he felt like she wouldn't return, but today the way she smiled, he felt different. 

At the dining table, Lu Lian served a soup to Ming Rusheng, "This is specially made for you especially."

Ming Rusheng looked at other dishes, and no one had that soup. "Why only me?" he asked and had a sip.

Not answering him, she asked, "Does it taste good?

"Well, not bad," he replied, not having a good feeling about it. "Why for me only?"

"It's to help you increase your stamina," she replied, pulling out a sly smile. 

Cough! Cough!

"That day in the shower, I felt like you could be even better, but I understand you just had gone through a serious accident. As a good wife, it's my duty to help you get better fast."

Ming Rusheng glared at her, "Aren't you going overboard?"

"Well, I am the woman who keeps seducing you, so I should be the one to prepare for the next." she looked at elder Ming, "Am I wrong, Grandpa."

"No, dear. As long as I get a few little feet running in this house, I am with you," elder Ming replied while others just smiled. Ming Rusheng had gone overboard with her, so he totally deserved it. They all were fine with whatever Lu Lian would do. 

Ming Rusheng put that soup aside and frowned, "I don't need this."

"I know you trust your capabilities, but it won't harm to take…."

Ming Rusheng glared at her, "One more word, and you will see what it means to provoke me."

She maintained a smile on her face and replied, "Not like I am scared of you, but I think it's enough for the day. It's not good to anger your brain. Let's eat." she picked up a spoon and looked at the bowl of the soup that Ming Rusheng put aside, "As you are not drinking, it's not good to waste it." She picked up the bowl and was about to put it in front of her, but Ming Rusheng held her hand and got that bowl from her. 

He looked at the servant, "Throw this soup right away."

The servant got the bowl from him, and the other servant picked up the pot with the rest soup and took it away.

Ming Rusheng resumed eating, and she heard him talking, "Stay away from such useless things."

Lu Lian grinned inwardly as it showed he sure cared for him but always acted opposite.
