Lu Yunqi pulled Luo Ke directly into his room. Then, he let go of Luo Ke's hand, took off his suit jacket, and hung it on the cabinet. He said to Luo Ke, "You can sit down."

Luo Ke sat on the small sofa at a loss of what to do. This was the first time she had returned to the Lu residence with Lu Yunqi. Everything was so unfamiliar that it made her feel uneasy.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door. Lu Yunqi stopped changing clothes and softly said, "The door isn't locked, please come in."

Wang Jingyi smiled as she carried a plate of snacks and walked in. She said to the two of them, "I saw that you two came back in a hurry, so you probably haven't eaten yet. Have some snacks to fill your stomachs. I've already asked the kitchen to prepare some food for you."

Her attitude was very warm. Luo Ke subconsciously took the plate and whispered to Wang Jingyi, "Thank you, sorry to trouble you."

"What's there to be polite about? We're all family." Wang Jingyi giggled as she spoke to Luo Ke.

Who knew that at this time, Lu Yunqi would directly walk over and take away the snacks in Luo Ke's hands. He then said to her with disdain, "Did anyone tell you not to eat things given to you by strangers? Don't you even have this little bit of common sense?"

Lu Yunqi's words caused the originally harmonious atmosphere in the room to become awkward. Luo Ke muttered, "I was wrong."

"We're all family. Yun Qi, your words are a bit harsh." Wang Jingyi's smile was very awkward. She cursed Lu Yunqi in her heart and tried her best to maintain a decent smile on her face.

"I never thought of you as a family." Lu Yunqi's face was cold as she spoke to Wang Jingyi. The disdain in her words was so obvious that it made her unable to maintain her smile as she awkwardly ran out of the room.

Lu Yunqi walked up to the door and locked it from the inside, then continued to change clothes. Luo Ke looked at his seemingly indifferent action. She frowned and said, "No matter what, she is still your nominal mother. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

"She has ulterior motives for everything she does. Don't be confused by what Wang Jingyi did." Lu Yunqi said to Luo Ke as he put on his housedress and took off his wristwatch.

"But I feel that what you did just now was a bit too much. Even if she did wrong, you shouldn't have done that." Luo Xin and Lu Yunqi earnestly said. In her opinion, regardless of what the reason was, living under the same roof was better for everyone to get along with each other.

"Heh, what I said just now was very clear. I've never treated her as a family. Don't you understand?" Lu Yunqi placed his wristwatch on the table and looked into Luo Ke's eyes. From his perspective, Wang Jingyi was a woman who was good at playing with people's hearts, and her father was willing to believe that even that woman wasn't willing to believe him. Therefore, Lu Yunqi rarely returned to the Lu residence. He didn't want to see the three of them living in harmony with each other. In the end, he would act just like Lu Yunqi was an outsider.

Lu Yunqi had no way to directly tell Luo Ke these words. After all, he didn't want Luo Ke to get involved with the twists and turns of his home.

Luo Ke didn't know what Lu Yunqi was thinking. She frowned and said to Lu Yunqi, "Alright, I understand. You're good enough."

Lu Yunqi felt quite helpless at Luo Ke's infuriating words. He stared at Luo Ke and said, "Don't meddle in our family's business."

Lu Yunqi's words made Luo Ke even angrier. What did he mean by meddling in other people's business? He was the one who had brought him back, and now he was saying these words? Who did he think he was?

However, after Lu Yunqi finished speaking, she took the change of clothes and walked towards the bathroom, leaving Luo Ke sitting alone on the sofa, sulking. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.

On the other side, Wang Jingyi put away her awkward expression. She rolled her eyes and sneered. "That stinking brat Lu Yunqi is still as arrogant as before. Next time, I'll let you see my power."

With that, he tidied his hair and prepared to go to the garden to relax. The Lu residence was filled with many precious flowers. With the care and attention of a professional gardener, it exuded elegance everywhere.

Wang Jingyi took a deep breath and felt her entire body relax. She was walking in this garden and completely didn't want to pay attention to that old man Lu Xun.

Wang Jingyi had followed Lu Li at such a young age just for the sake of being rich and powerful. However, that old man was also a scheming person, and he only gave her some cash and didn't give her any rights to the company's matters.

With great difficulty, Wang Jingyi managed to give birth to his own son, Lu Zhengwen. Wang Jingyi was also looking forward to this. However, now that he had been targeted by Lu Yunqi, not only did it hinder her, but it also made his feel that Lu Zhengwen was being unreasonable.

The more Wang Jingyi thought about it, the angrier she got. She subconsciously crushed the flower in her hand, causing the juice to flow into her hand. However, Wang Jingyi didn't even have time to react.

At this moment, a deep male voice sounded out, "Madam, be careful of your hands. The thorns of this flower are very sharp."

Hearing this voice, Wang Jingyi subconsciously relaxed her fingers. She turned around and looked at the man with a flushed face and said, "It's Steward Xing, I didn't even notice you."

Steward Xing was a steward of the Lu family's estate. He was younger than Lu Ji. He was a steady, reliable, and tall man with a handsome face. Wang Jingyi had always been very interested in him.

He smiled at Wang Jingyi and took out a handkerchief from her pocket. Then, he pulled over Wang Jingyi's hand and carefully wiped it.

Wang Jingyi stared at Housekeeper Xing's cautious movements. Her heart trembled as she said to him, "Thank you so much."

"This is what I should be doing. Madam should be more careful next time. There are many flowers with thorns here, so it would be bad to scratch Madam's hand." Steward Xing's deep voice, coupled with his deep gaze, made Wang Jingyi's heart jump, and she unconsciously blushed.

She lifted her head and stared straight into Steward Xing's eyes. "I'll need Steward Xing to watch over me. I'm easily injured."

The emotions in Wang Jingyi's eyes were very obvious. Steward Xing could tell at a glance. He smiled at Wang Jingyi and said, "Taking care of Madam is also one of my duties." With that, he squeezed Wang Jingyi's hand, the meaning behind it was very clear.

Wang Jingyi, who was being held by Steward Xing, embarrassedly blinked and said, "You're really evil."

"It's because Madam is too beautiful that I can't help myself." Steward Xing said with a face full of smiles while facing Wang Jingyi.

In a corner of the garden, Lu Zheng hid behind a tree trunk expressionlessly, staring at the two flirting.
