Chapter 374: Chapter 372: Lu Family Recognizes Relatives 9_1

It was a pity that Sir Lu was destined to be disappointed...

His grandson was indeed talented, but Lu was even more exceptional. The ordinary people could hardly compare with him.

The man realized he had been presumptuous and immediately withdrew his hand, his handsome face bearing a polite smile, "I was presumptuous. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Lu Fan, ’Fan’ as in setting sail. My grandfather is Lu Qingyuan, your patient."

After finishing his introduction, he added, "Miss Xia, I really appreciate you saving my grandfather."

"Don’t mention it." Xia Ningxing had already guessed that he was Sir Lu’s eldest grandson, so she was not surprised, but soon she seemed to think of something, her clear eyes suddenly widening as she stared at him, "Your name is Lu Fan?"

"Yes, is there a problem?" Lu Fan tilted his face, brown eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses staring at her with slight confusion, not understanding why she had such a strong reaction.

Of course, there was a problem!

Xia Ningxing almost felt like screaming like a groundhog in her heart.

This man was the famous ace agent from the books, who had brought up one superstar and movie queen after another.

His professional capabilities were top-notch!

Fearing a common name, Xia Ningxing quickly asked, "May I ask what you do for a living?"

"I have been studying artist management abroad. To put it plainly, I’m an agent," Lu Fan replied with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xia Ningxing almost wanted to scream.

What kind of genes did the Lu family have? Sir Lu was the right-hand man of His Excellency, his sister was a national first-class dance artist, and this eldest grandson would become a top agent in the industry in the future.

And the other family members could very well be leaders in their respective fields!

Seeing her inexplicably get excited, Lu Fan’s brows lifted again, and he inquired, "Is there a problem, Miss Xia?"

"No, no." Xia Ningxing contained her expression and quickly waved her hand.

Lu Fan did not continue to press the matter but looked Xia Ningxing up and down again, then gave a highly positive evaluation, "Miss Xia, you will certainly become an international superstar in the future."

He didn’t say this just to flatter her but after a sensible and meticulous analysis.

If it had been anyone else hearing such high praise, they would have been overjoyed to the point of losing their bearings, but Xia Ningxing remained calm, her lips curling up confidently, "That’s a given!"

If someone else had made such a statement, they would seem arrogant, but she did not.

Lu Fan nodded with a smile, and then, like a gentleman, he extended an invitation, "Miss Xia, may I have the opportunity to drive you home?"

As he spoke, he had already opened the car door, elegantly gesturing ’please’ with his hand.

Just as Xia Ningxing was about to decline, she suddenly felt a chill down her spine.

Before she could turn around, a man’s voice, cool as a blade, reached her ears, "She won’t be taking your car!"

That was... Lu’s voice!

Xia Ningxing’s eyelids immediately began to twitch, feeling somewhat guilty, as if she were a wife caught by her husband in an act of infidelity.

But in all honesty, there was absolutely nothing between her and Lu Fan!

"Who is this gentleman?" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses. When he got a clear view of Lu Tingli’s face, he couldn’t help but be startled. How could this man look so much like his grandfather?

However, he quickly suppressed the surprise in his heart. After all, even people with no relation in the world could look alike, to the point of appearing as if cast from the same mold, so it was nothing remarkable.

Xia Ningxing saw that Lu’s face had darkened and immediately hugged his arm affectionately, then turned to Lu Fan and said, "Mr. Lu, let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend, Lu Tingli."

Only after her words landed did Lu Tingli’s complexion soften.

"Miss Xia already has a boyfriend?" Upon hearing this, Lu Fan’s frown deepened, not because Xia Ningxing was already taken, but because he felt his behavior was very impolite. How could he even think of poaching someone else’s girlfriend?

The grandfather really should have done his homework before carelessly sending him here!

Lu Fan had no idea that Sir Lu had intentionally kept this matter from him.

Xia Ningxing nodded emphatically: "Yes!"

As she spoke, she kept glancing at Lu out of the corner of her eye. Seeing that his face was no longer as upset as before, the anxiety that had been stuck in her throat finally dissipated.

It really was unlucky that every time she talked to another man, he seemed to arrive right on time, as if he was always there to monitor her.

Lu Tingli was lifting his emotionless cold eyes, staring at Lu Fan: "She is mine."

Just four words, yet they were brimming with dominance and possession.

Lu Fan could clearly see the hostility toward himself from Lu Tingli, and thinking about how he was caught red-handed trying to poach someone’s girlfriend, his expression turned somewhat awkward. He said to Xia Ningxing, "I apologize, Miss Xia. My grandfather did not tell me you already had a boyfriend."

This blame, Lu Fan was going to push onto Sir Lu, since it was indeed his fault!

"It’s okay, it’s getting late. You should head back, Mr. Lu." Xia Ningxing shook her head at him and then pulled Lu to the car: "Lu, let’s go back too."

If they kept chatting like this, Xia Ningxing really worried that Lu would be drowned alive in his jealousy.

Lu?

Also a Lu?

Watching the two leave, Lu Fan couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows slightly, thinking it was quite a coincidence.

Not only did he bear a resemblance to the old Sir Lu, but they also shared the same surname.

After Xia Ningxing and Lu Tingli got into the car, Lu Tingli drove the car to a secluded spot, then suddenly, without any warning, he stopped.

"Why have we stopped? We’re not home yet!" Xia Ningxing looked up at him in confusion, her long lashes fluttering with bemusement.

Without answering her, Lu Tingli unbuckled his seatbelt and then began to close in on her, his gaze dark and ominous like a hungry wolf in the night with eyes glowing green.

The atmosphere inside the car became tense in an instant, as if it could explode at any touch.

Xia Ningxing could hear her own heartbeat, and she stammered, "What’s... What’s wrong?"

Certainly, Lu couldn’t still be dwelling on the fact that she had just spoken with another man?

Lu Tingli’s response confirmed her guess: "Xia Ningxing, you seemed quite happy talking to that other man just now!"

He called her by her full name, and although his handsome face showed little expression, his voice was almost through gritted teeth.

The air was thick with the sour scent of jealousy.

Seeing him like this, Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but let out a few stifled laughs.

For all she knew, Lu Fan could be his direct cousin, and there he was, getting jealous over his own kin!!

"You dare to laugh!!" Lu Tingli’s face darkened even more, and with a huff, he lifted his well-defined hand and pinched her smooth cheek.
