I Became the Male Lead’s Stepmother After Transmigrating - Chapter 169

When Xiang Xiaoyuan heard this, she paused for a moment. He had never carried another person on his back? She had to admit that there was a subtle sense of joy in her heart.

“What about you?” Lu Wanggui suddenly asked her.

Xiang Xiaoyuan did not react in time. “What about me?”

“How many people have you asked this question to?” He asked her casually.

Xiang Xiaoyuan was dumbfounded. How was she supposed to answer this?!

It was obvious that this was not her first time asking this question, but… Xiang Xiaoyuan decided not to answer this question. She hugged him tightly and pretended to yawn. “Are we not there yet? I’m a little sleepy.”

The winery that Lu Wanggui mentioned was not what Xiang Xiaoyuan had imagined. At least she did not think that he had an entire wall of wine!

However, Xiang Xiaoyuan was not interested in drinking. Lu Wanggui only brought her out to relax. The two of them walked around the winery and then left.

In the blink of an eye, it was National Day. The workaholic Lu Wanggui still had to go to the office. Originally, Xiang Xiaoyuan had planned to go shopping with Lu Bei. She woke up early in the morning and found Lu Wanggui, who was supposed to go to the office, sitting at the dining table and eating breakfast leisurely. Lu Bei also happened to be downstairs.

Xiang Xiaoyuan sat down and asked, “Didn’t you say you were going to work?”

Lu Wanggui looked up at her. “I’ve thought about it. I’ll take you guys out for lunch today.”

Lu Bei looked over as well. What did he mean?

Xiang Xiaoyuan and Lu Wanggui had shared a bed for a long time. She immediately understood what he meant. “You want us to go with you?”

If that wasn’t the case, he would have gone to the company a long time ago. Lu Wanggui was very happy that he and Xiang Xiaoyuan understood each other well.

Xiang Xiaoyuan and Lu Bei looked at each other. The two of them could see the same thoughts in each other’s eyes.

“Sure, but you would be paid extra for working during the holidays, right?”

“Yes.”

Lu Wanggui picked up a napkin and wiped his hands. “You guys want a cut too?” Without waiting for Xiang Xiaoyuan and Lu Bei to answer, he added, “How about this, since you always complain that I’m boring, let’s play a game today.”

“What game?”

Lu Wanggui: “Don’t we have a Wechat group? I’ll give out money in the group. It’s all about luck how much you get.”

When Xiang Xiaoyuan saw that Lu Bei could not wait to agree to it, she shot a glare at him. Lu Bei immediately became obedient and did not dare to say anything.

“Okay, but if it’s only 200 yuan…”

This was different compared to just receiving money.

Lu Wanggui casually increased the price. “Then I’ll give out 20,000.”

His tone was calm, which made Xiang Xiaoyuan and Lu Bei excited. Both of them rubbed their hands together and looked at each other warily. Lu Wanggui used a mere 20,000 to shatter their unity.

During breakfast, because of this little family activity, the atmosphere in the room became much livelier. Lu Bei rubbed his hands together and turned his phone on when there was a new notification.

Xiang Xiaoyuan also opened the gift. It was 8,400 yuan.

Lu Bei looked at his phone. 16,000 yuan! He stood up excitedly, he even shouted in a childish manner, “Oh yeah!” He held his phone in front of Xiang Xiaoyuan and showed it off. “My luck is the best. I got 16,000 yuan. How am I so lucky?”

Xiang Xiaoyuan: “… Lu Wanggui!”

Lu Wanggui immediately comforted her. “It’s okay, I’ll send you another one.”

Lu Bei: “…”

Today was the first day of the holiday, so there were not many people working in the company. As soon as Lu Wanggui entered the company, he switched to work mode. Xiang Xiaoyuan and Lu Bei wandered around the Lu company building. The more they looked around, the more Lu Bei felt his father’s investment in his career.

“What are you thinking about?” Xiang Xiaoyuan asked curiously when she noticed that Lu Bei was not speaking.

Lu Bei was looking up at the Lu Group’s glorious achievements over the years. “Nothing much. Actually, I’ve been thinking about this question for the past few months. If the roles were reversed and I became a father, would I be better than him?”

Xiang Xiaoyuan: “Why are you comparing yourself to him?”

LuB: “I used to blame him.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan pretended to sigh deeply. “It’s understandable.”

Lu Bei also sighed. “I also said that I don’t want to be his son.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan: “Don’t worry. Many people are lining up to be his son. I might be the first one.”

It was supposed to be a deep talk, but Lu Bei could not help but laugh out loud. “Are you serious?”

“Of course.” Xiang Xiaoyuan put her hands behind her back. “I’m not trying to excuse him. Actually, it’s quite good that he’s like this. If I were your mother…”

Lu Bei: “? ? ?”
