Chapter 1037: Chapter 1042: The Child Follows the Mother
"I finally know who your son takes after." 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Lu Kejun couldn’t help but complain, his cunning and sly demeanor was exactly like his mother’s.
Alas, she should have listened to her own parents and stayed quietly at Red Cloud Villa.
There certainly wouldn’t be any disrespectful brats mocking her there.
Qiao Duo’er raised an eyebrow: "He’s my son, I can’t help it."
"Can’t you be a little more humble? You even gasp when someone says you’re fat!"
"I think humility is too hypocritical."
Lu Kejun found herself at a loss for words, but she liked this straightforward and honest friend. Regardless of how things ended up with Luo Qingfeng, it wouldn’t affect their relationship.
For several days, Luo Qingfeng hadn’t shown up, and Lu Kejun had been staying at the Tan Family’s house.
From Lu Kejun’s attire and demeanor, it was clear that she wasn’t from an ordinary family, so Granny Su and Bai Yan were always nervous while cooking, and they tried their best to serve her well in other areas too.
Fortunately, Lu Kejun wasn’t picky and had never complained about anything.
Seeing that New Year’s Eve was approaching, Qiao Duo’er kindly suggested, "Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, do you want me to ask Ah Hong to arrange a carriage to take you back?"
Living elsewhere usually wasn’t a big deal, but it was better to be with family during the New Year.
"Are you tired of me causing you trouble?"
Lu Kejun looked at Qiao Duo’er with an accusing expression.
She had only been there for a few days and hadn’t caused any trouble, so why would she be disliked?
Qiao Duo’er quickly clarified, "I don’t mind you at all, I’m just worried you might be homesick."
"I’m not going back. I like it here, even though the food and lodging are a bit worse, I’ve never been this happy," Lu Kejun said earnestly.
At Red Cloud Villa, there were famous chefs and beautiful houses, but she always felt uncomfortable with people governing her.
She preferred the freedom she had here.
Qiao Duo’er nodded, "As long as you’re happy here, just tell me if you need anything."
"Don’t worry, I brought nine guards with me. Just one whistle and they’ll be here," Lu Kejun whispered.
Those were the Shadow Guards from Red Cloud Villa, well-hidden in their movements.
Qiao Duo’er had already sensed strangers in the house, so she wasn’t surprised at all.
But she became more curious about Lu Kejun’s identity. However, it would be rude to ask directly, so she decided to wait until Lu Kejun was willing to share.
At night, Tan Zhenghong had just put the two little ones to bed when someone knocked on the door.
But when he opened it, he saw no one, only a bundle left on the ground.
"Whose is this? Why deliver it so sneakily?" Tan Zhenghong asked, puzzled.
Qiao Duo’er suddenly remembered what Lu Kejun had mentioned about the fox fur and said, "Bring it in, it’s from Ke-kun, delivered by someone."
The guards had their faces covered with light veils the other day, not wanting their identities revealed.
They probably left the bundle at the door for the same reason and left.
Only then did Tan Zhenghong confidently bring the bundle inside. Indeed, it contained clothes made from fox fur for a panda.
The fox fur was smooth to the touch with no extraneous hairs, clearly a product of fine craftsmanship.
Moreover, each piece of fur was perfectly joined together, making it impossible to see any seams from the outside.
Tan Zhenghong was astonished: "That lady Lu must be no ordinary person."
"You’ve been busy settling accounts outside these last few days and haven’t spent much time with her, otherwise you would have noticed earlier."
Ke-kun must be a member of the royal family, perhaps even a favored princess currently in power.
"I’ll go to the Government Office and ask tomorrow," Tan Zhenghong decided immediately.
