Chapter 103: Guilty conscience.
As soon as Lu Yu and the housekeeper stepped into the main hall of the home, they heard Lu Gewei's voice: "Go out and kneel!"
In Count Gewei's mansion, kneeling as a punishment, It not only happens to Lu Gewei's side husbands and attendants, but also to females like them.
But now that Lu Xiao and Lu Huan are older, they have moved away and live alone.
She is the only one who is still being punished.
When facing Lu Xiao, Lu Yu dared to resist, but when facing Lu Gewei, Lu Yu did not dare to resist at all.
Probably because he was suppressed since childhood, he is very aware of Lu Gewei’s methods.
Lu Yu turned around and knelt down, not expecting anyone to intercede for her. Even if her male father was at home, Admiral Crane would treat them no matter when, whether he was present or not. The female cub wasn't particularly interested. This time, he specially waited for her at home. Maybe he would still look for her after the punishment was over. Just thinking about it made Lu Yu feel extremely gloomy.
I thought that I had eaten at Lu Xiao's place, otherwise Lu Gewei would not care about whether she was still hungry when she came back. She never cared about such things.
Thinking about it, Lu Yu felt that Lu Xiao was actually pretty good. Although he had a vicious mouth, he still knew how to feed her.
There would be no harm if there was no comparison. Now she understood a little bit why Lu Huan had such an attitude towards Lu Xiao.
Although Lu Xiao did not help her this time, she inexplicably felt a bit of warmth from Lu Xiao.
After Lu Yu was picked up, Lu Xiao returned to the room.
Ares is responsible for arranging Lieutenant General Fred's residence, so she doesn't need to worry too much.
When Ares came back, he saw Lu Xiao lying there, reading today's news.
"Have there been any relevant reports?"
Lu Xiao shook his head: "I only said that further investigation is needed, but fortunately there are only the number of injuries and no death toll. Some people here speculate that it is caused by aging pipelines."
But Lu Xiao feels that this is an official reason, but in fact it may not be the case.
“Where is the black market?” Lu Xiao raised his eyes and looked at Ares curiously.
As an imperial major general, Lu Xiao didn’t believe that Ares didn’t know.
Ares was not surprised by Lu Xiao's question. He knew very well that Lu Xiao was not only smart but also very perceptive.
It is normal to be aware of the problem.
“Zhongxuan Street Underground City.”
Having said that, there is something else Lu Xiao doesn’t understand. The explosion may have something to do with Lieutenant General Fred.
How else could Fred be injured?
But at this point, Lu Xiao did not continue the topic. Sometimes you don't need to know too much.
Firstly, she doesn’t want to get involved in the trouble, and secondly, she doesn’t want to solve the trouble.
Turn off the light screen, Lu Xiao lifted the quilt and rolled in: "Sleep!"
Seeing that the little female did not ask further questions, Ares was originally worried that Lu Xiao would be curious about the result.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xiao was very measured, and Ares had a smile in his eyes.
Early the next morning, Lieutenant General Fred's injury had basically recovered. When he went downstairs, Ares was already preparing breakfast. When he saw him, he greeted him naturally: "Are you feeling better, Lieutenant General Fred?" ?”
“Thank you for taking care of me. It’s no problem. Are you like this every day?”
As if he knew what Fred was asking, Ares smiled slightly: “Sometimes Lu Xiao will also help, she likes to do this very much."
Fred's eyes flashed and he wanted to say something, when he heard the sound of the door opening from upstairs, and then saw Lu Xiao coming downstairs. : "Good morning, Lieutenant General Fred, did you sleep well yesterday?"
"Thanks to you, I slept well." "That's good." Lu Xiao replied and walked to Ah Next to Reese, "I'm here to help you."
Fred sat aside and looked at the two people busy in the kitchen. Although he was among them, it was difficult for him to blend in.
Breakfast is simple and rich, and Ares's cooking skills are very good. Fred will also learn some knowledge about cooking in his free time. After all, this is almost a required course for every male.
But he doesn't seem to have any talent in this area. No matter how hard he studies, he can't do it well, let alone make it taste as good as Ares.
“You are so good at cooking.”
Hearing this, Ares looked at Lu Xiao: "The teacher taught you well."
Lu Xiao raised an eyebrow, and then looked at each other and smiled.
When Fred saw this scene, his eyes darkened: "Thank you for what happened yesterday. I'll treat you to dinner when I have the opportunity. It's a thank you."
"Lieutenant General Fred doesn't have to You are so polite, after all, Lu Yu is my sister, and you have helped us by saving her."
Lu Xiao's reason was very good, and Fred couldn't refute it. At the same time, he knew very well that Lu Xiao was. This is to distance yourself from him.
It was obvious that Lu Xiao had been drawing a clear line with him from beginning to end.
I felt a little depressed but I couldn’t say that Lu Xiao was wrong to do this.
After all, Lu Xiao had been very honest with him from the beginning, and he knew Lu Xiao's thoughts early on. On the contrary, he couldn't control his heart and went too far without authorization.
"Then there is a chance." After hearing Lu Xiao's polite refusal, Frederic stood up and said, "I have to go back to resume my life, so I won't disturb you two and leave first."
"Lieutenant General Fred, let me see you off." Ares stood up and walked Fred out of the door.
Lu Xiao did not go out. By the time Ares came back, she had already solved her breakfast problem.
After that, neither of them mentioned anything about Lieutenant General Fred again.
He was just a passer-by who appeared in their home by chance. When he came as a guest, he left them and gave them a good send-off. It was just a matter of etiquette and there was no need to worry too much.
What Lu Xiao didn’t expect was that as soon as she got on the hover car after leaving home, she received a communication from Count Hua’an.
Seeing the note in this communication, Lu Xiao didn’t want to admit it. She felt nervous. Could it be Noah’s matter again?
Thinking of Noah's previous behavior, although she clearly rejected it, she was still a little worried that Li Hua'an would know about it and he wouldn't come to take responsibility for her again.
After all, I already had a criminal record before.
Seeing Lu Xiao staring at the terminal for a long time without answering, Ares was a little surprised: "What's wrong?"
"Li Huaan sent me a voice message!" Lu Xiao looked at To Ares, it was also the first time for a man to see the guilty conscience on her face.
As if he understood what Lu Xiao was feeling guilty about, Ares felt that the little female was not too cute.
Just because he rejected Noah's confession, he felt so guilty that he didn't dare to answer Li Huaan's voice. He couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips. How could such a soft and well-behaved little female belong to him?
Ares's heart was swollen and satisfied. Every time he felt that he already liked Lu Xiao very much, he found that he could also like her even more.
Noticing the smile on Ares's lips, Lu Xiao couldn't help but widen his eyes: "What are you laughing at, Ares!"
Ares raised his hand to cover his lips, gently He coughed lightly and said naturally: "Take it, it shouldn't be Noah's business."
"Really?" Lu Xiao looked at Ares suspiciously, "What do you think?" Yes, I trust you, look at it otherwise" means.
Ares looked at her with a smile, reached out and gently touched Lu Xiao's head: "Believe me!"
The two words of certainty made Lu Xiao feel at ease.
The corners of his lips curled up unconsciously, and he gently patted Ares' hand away. He felt that at that moment, he was being coaxed like a child by Ares.
