Chapter 644 The eldest lady is above, the cold-faced killer is jealous
Lu Zhihuan walked to Lu Cangnan's study, and the servant quickly bowed and saluted, "Greetings, Miss."
Lu Zhihuan nodded slightly, and she whispered to the servant at the door, "Is Daddy here?"
The servant nodded, then turned around and knocked on the door lightly.
Tuk-tuk-tuk...
"Come in." Lu Cangnan heard the knock on the door and his deep and mellow voice sounded.
"Creak" sound.
The door was pushed open.
Lu Zhihuan lifted the hem of her skirt with both hands and stepped into the house.
The maid Chunxiang stood at the door and did not step in.
Lu Zhihuan smiled and called out to the person at the table, "Daddy."
Lu Cangnan looked up in surprise when he heard his daughter's voice. "Huan'er? Why are you here?" He quickly put down the brush in his hand and asked gently, "Huan'er, are you feeling unwell again?"
When Lu Zhihuan heard "Huan'er" again, his expression froze for a moment. Isn't it awkward to call her that? It would be better to call her Zhizhi.
Whatever you think in your heart, it doesn't show on your face.
She raised her hand to her chest, frowning slightly, "Yeah, I don't know why these past two days, I occasionally feel a little chest tightness and shortness of breath."
Lu Cangnan stood up quickly when he heard it. "It's only been less than a month since you came back. How could you feel unwell again?"
"No, Daddy has to take you there personally." It was just right that he had to ask about Huan'er's health.
"Don't worry, Daddy." Lu Zhihuan quickly stopped him and explained, "Maybe it's because the weather is getting hotter and hotter that I feel this way."
Lu Cangnan was a little worried, “Don’t be afraid that Dad will worry and not tell the truth.”
Lu Zhihuan smiled, walked to the table, refilled the empty teacup, and pushed it over. "Daughter knows that Daddy cares about her health the most, so how could I lie to you?"
"It's indeed because of the hot weather. Besides, the scenery of Medicine King Valley is most pleasant at this time of year, and my daughter also wants to stay there for a while."
When Lu Cangnan heard his daughter say this, he felt relieved. His tense face gradually relaxed, and a kind smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Even the fine lines at the corners of his eyes deepened.
"In that case, then go! But be careful on the road. Daddy will let your senior brother escort you!" Lu Cangnan could see that his daughter had a different attitude towards Chang Feng.
Lu Zhihuan naturally knew Lu Cangnan's intention. The main reason for coming to him today was that she didn't want to choose Ning Changfeng as her husband.
He had to be more subtle, otherwise the huge gap between the beginning and the end would make Lu Cangnan suspicious.
She walked behind Lu Cangnan, raised her hand, and pressed his shoulder lightly, her tone like a spoiled child, "Let Second Senior Brother go and see me off. Second Senior Brother is a martial arts expert and obedient, okay? Daddy!"
The smile on Lu Cangnan's face was just like the warm spring sun, and he said dotingly, "You're quite good at picking. That fool will listen to you. You can do whatever you want when the time comes, you!"
"No," Lu Zhihuan grumbled, pouting. "My daughter is worried about you. We're busy at the villa, so let Senior Brother stay and help you!"
Lu Cangnan was overjoyed when he heard this, "Hahahaha, my daughter is still thoughtful. I'll do as you say!"
His smile slowly faded. After a while, it was her 18th birthday, but there was still no news from her nephew Yun Che.
He turned his head to look at Lu Zhihuan, patted her hand, his expression gentle but somewhat helpless, and spoke slowly.
"Huan'er, your 18th birthday is approaching. Our two families originally agreed that if we still can't find Yun Che's whereabouts after you turn 18, the engagement will no longer be valid."
He paused, looked up at the papers on the table, and considered his words, "You are old enough to get married, and this marriage can't be delayed forever."
He then recalled Huan'er's different feelings towards Changfeng, so he said bluntly, "Huan'er, you've been with your senior brother for many years, and you know his character and personality. If you are interested in him, I will speak to you. As long as you agree, it will be fine."
Lu Zhihuan didn't rush to refute, but smiled lightly and said, "Dad, I regard Senior Brother as my brother, so I never thought about it in this way. Besides, there is still some time to go. There is no rush. Let's talk about it later."
When Lu Cangnan heard his daughter say this, he stopped and went to test Chang Feng's intentions!
"Then it's up to you."
Lu Zhihuan stopped massaging his shoulders and said, "Daddy, you go ahead and do your work. I'll go downstairs and clean up."
"When does Huan'er plan to leave?"
"The day after tomorrow!" Lu Zhihuan replied, "It just rained, the roads are slippery, let's go the day after tomorrow."
When she left the study and returned to the training ground, Ning Changfeng was standing under the eaves with his hands behind his back, watching his fellow apprentices practicing.
She glanced around but couldn't see her junior sister. She must have gone somewhere to hide away again!
If she wanted to go back, she would have to pass by Ning Changfeng. Lu Zhihuan rolled her eyes secretly.
Recalling the memories of the original owner's previous life, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The original owner was gentle, virtuous, generous and polite. She never forced Ning Changfeng to marry her. It was all Ning Changfeng's own choice.
The two of them had been together their entire lives, but he said those words when he was dying, which really tore out the original owner's heart.
She curled her lips in a wicked way and said, "Don't blame me."
Hearing footsteps, Ning Changfeng turned his head and saw Lu Zhihuan coming over. He subconsciously put on a gentle smile, "Husband...Zhihuan!"
Lu Zhihuan had a faint smile on his lips. He stopped at a distance and nodded slightly as a greeting.
She turned her head to look at the martial arts arena, her eyes searching. After locking onto someone, she put her hand to her mouth like a trumpet and shouted, "Second Brother, Second Brother!"
Second Brother Mo Lang immediately stopped his moves and turned around. Seeing that it was the eldest lady calling him, he quickly responded, "Hey!"
Lu Zhihuan raised his hand and waved, motioning him to come over.
Mo Lang said something to the junior brother beside him. His big hand like a palm-leaf fan patted the junior brother's shoulder, and the junior brother's body obviously tilted.
The corners of Lu Zhihuan's mouth twitched. How much force would it take?
Soon Mo Lang arrived in front of Lu Zhihuan. He said in a rough voice, "Miss, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Lu Zhihuan saw that his forehead was covered with sweat, so he picked up a towel and wiped it on his forehead. "I call you Second Senior Brother, and you call me Miss. It sounds so strange. You should call me Zhihuan or Zhizhi from now on, just like the eldest senior brother."
Mo Lang took the towel from her hand, wiped it casually on his face twice, smiled with his white teeth, and said in a somewhat silly voice, "Zhizhi, it sounds nice to call you Zhizhi."
Lu Zhihuan deliberately whispered in his ear, "I'm going to Medicine King Valley the day after tomorrow. I'd like to trouble Second Senior Brother to escort me."
He patted his chest twice, making two "bang" sounds, "It's okay, Zhizhi's safety is in the hands of Second Brother."
Lu Zhihuan was amused by his appearance.
Ning Changfeng stood in the distance and watched this scene, clenching his fists and admonishing himself in his heart:
She is not yet the lady in my memory, but it is not right to be so intimate in public.
As the eldest brother, I should give them some appropriate advice.
Thinking of this, he walked towards the two people who were talking and laughing.
