Chapter 349: Chapter 349: Oh No, Cheap Dad Got Dirty!

Zhuang Tian seemed to know her proposal was a bit over the top, but Lu Xining had been in Ji Muye’s thoughts for so long and still decisively rejected her pursuit without hesitation. In her view, there must be some real skills that Lu Xining possessed.

"Miss Lu, I genuinely like Muye."

"It was love at first sight."

"So I’m asking for your help, help me win his heart."

Lu Xining rarely failed to control her expression. She had previously thought that the Miss Zhuang from the Zhuang Family was a decent rival, but then she came to her face to land a heavy blow on her principles.

"Miss Zhuang, first of all, there isn’t the depth of feeling between Ji Muye and me that you imagine, or else we wouldn’t have divorced."

"Secondly, as an ex-wife, I have no interest in my ex-husband’s emotional life, nor will I interfere with your relationship. Whether it’s an engagement or a marriage, it’s a matter between the two of you. Whether it’s good or bad should be something you grasp by yourselves, not by coming to me for advice."

If Zhuang Tian had intentionally come to upset her, then she had succeeded.

Lu Xining really felt disgusted and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly: Life is indeed more exciting than TV dramas.

Seeing that she wanted to speak again, Lu Xining cut her off with a smile and gently said, "It’s getting late, Miss Zhuang, please go back."

"The time mentioned on the invitation isn’t far off, it would be better for you to rest well and conserve your energy."

Her words left Zhuang Tian unable to find a reason to be angry. They were sincere and gentle, but there was still a thorn stuck in her heart.

Even breathing felt uncomfortable.

Could it be that the quality Muye likes is this very vigor in her?

The voice of a female assistant came from the door, indicating that there had been some problems in the lab, and Lu Xining was needed there.

When Zhuang Tian suggested she could wait here for her return, the warmth in Lu Xining’s eyes cooled somewhat, reminding her, "Miss Zhuang, our relationship isn’t at the point where you can stay in my private office for an extended period."

On the bookshelf in the office, there were many statistical analysis documents for various projects.

Any one of these projects was a valuable resource on the market. How could Zhuang Tian have the gall to say she’d wait here for her return?

"Will you come then?" Zhuang Tian still had not given up hope.

Facing her persistent gaze, Lu Xining patiently avoided a direct refusal and simply stated that she would definitely attend if she had time.

"But as you can see, my work has been extremely busy lately. I have many matters to follow up on, and I’m not sure if I’ll have time then. Please understand my work situation, Miss Zhuang."

The woman discerned the underlying message in Lu Xining’s words, which was asking her not to cause unnecessary trouble.

The intention to send her away was clear, and Zhuang Tian did not persist any further, standing up and walking towards the door.

At the door, the female assistant was holding a thick stack of documents. She saw her come out, offered a polite smile, arranged for someone to escort her away, and then entered the room herself, closing the door to cut off the view of those outside.

Meanwhile, Lu Nuonuo, who was playing soccer with Uncle Fu in the yard, saw a figure in the distance that looked like her step-dad.

Just as she was about to run over, she saw a strange auntie appear by his side, hanging onto his arm, and their relationship looked extraordinarily intimate—so much so it was a bit eye-watering.

Huh? Why do my eyes feel a bit painful?

Little Dumpling rubbed her eyes and looked again, only to meet Zhuang Tian’s gaze.

The woman, right in front of her, kissed the cheek of the man beside her.

Seeing the child standing still and looking in another direction, Fu Junhang came over to ask, "What’s wrong?"

The child sighed and said, "Uncle Fu, step-dad is not clean anymore, Nuonuo disapproves."

Fu Junhang: "???"

The words he meant for Zhuang Tian were not false; Lu Xining was indeed very busy.

Previously, due to the construction of the experimental base requiring time and the high demands for experimental equipment on many projects, she could only temporarily postpone some of them.

Now, the experimental base is finally completed, all projects are simultaneously unfolding, and everyone is so busy that they don’t even have time to touch the ground, collapsing into sleep as soon as night falls.

Lu Xining was unaware of her daughter witnessing the interaction between Zhuang Tian and the fake. The man in another city was even more clueless.

When he finally got some free time and picked up his phone to contact his daughter, he found that he had been blocked by the child.

Ji Muye’s dark eyes flickered with confusion as he switched to another phone to call his child, only to find the call didn’t go through this time.

He guessed that the child’s smart watch had rejected calls from strangers.

He could only call his two sons first and, after chatting for a while, Ji Muye nonchalantly asked, "Xiao Chao, Xiao Ze, have you been video calling your sister recently?"

Ji Ze nodded, "Yes, Dad, my brother and I are about to have our winter break, can we go to Fuxian to find Mom and sister then?"

Dad happens to be very busy lately.

He thought of going directly to see Mom and sister with his brother and wait until Dad is free to come back and accompany him.

Ji Chao also hadn’t seen his sister for a long time.

He truly missed the sweet little glutinous rice dumpling who would call him ’big brother,’ and added, "Dad, just let Uncle, the bodyguard, take us there, you don’t need to make a trip back personally."

Not wanting to bother their father with busy work, Ji Chao and Ji Ze didn’t wish for him to go back and forth.

Ji Muye also hadn’t seen his two sons and daughter for a long time, and he really wanted to go back to see them, but he was indeed tied up with urgent matters at hand.

"Mm, Dad will arrange this matter. In the meantime, you boys need to listen to Great Grandpa."

"Got it, Dad, we’ve been very good recently, my brother and I have won many trophies and certificates..."

Ji Ze was smiling as he shared the recent news with him.

The man quietly listened to his sons’ joy, his thin lips curling slightly upwards.

There was a very soft knock on the door, and Ma Sai pointed at his watch, reminding him that the time had come.

After ending the call, Ji Muye instructed Ma Sai to check into Lu Nuonuo’s situation, knowing his daughter’s temperament, she would not block him unless something had happened.

As for Lu Xining, she would not do such a thing.

Since she had told Ji Muye that he was the father, she would not interfere with the child’s decisions.

It would have been better not to check, as the inquiry almost sent Ji Muye into a bout of high blood pressure.

After learning the news, he immediately called Zhuang Tian.

Ji Muye’s voice was devoid of warmth, as he coldly said, "Zhuang Tian, I asked you to act, not to cause me trouble."

The past issue with Zhuang Tian sending someone to harm Lu Xining had not yet been resolved, and having learned from Xi Juan that the Zhuang Family was involved in another major conspiracy, Ji Muye could only temporarily set aside the matter with the Zhuang Family and continue to play along with Xi Juan’s wishes.

But whenever he thought about the promise he had made to Lu Xining that he would take care of the Zhuang Family’s situation,

Now, the half-month deadline had long passed, and he was still shackled by the current dilemma, the sense of guilt in the man’s eyes deepened.

"If I find out you’re bothering Lu Xining again, I assure you, the Zhuang Family won’t have an easy time."
