Chapter 434: The Unyielding Weight of Innocence

really humiliated him as a man. However, he couldn't possibly fight back against a woman.Knowing that Qiao Bao'er had been spoiled since childhood in the Qiao family, and understanding how her willful...Jun's master was still on a business trip abroad. When they returned, Jun's grandfather insisted that Lu Qinian stay for dinner tonight, and Lu Qinian couldn't refuse.

Joe Bao'er glanced over and thought the old man's gaze at Lu Qinian today was a little strange.

"Grandpa, do you have any thoughts about Lu Qinian" Qiao Bao'er was very close to Mr. Jun and whispered softly.

The old man seemed to have been seen through, and glared at her angrily, "What do you think!"

qiao Baoer looked at this, clearly guilty, and lowered her voice further, "You look at Lu Qinian like you want to strip him naked..."

"Presumptuous! What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Master Jun scolded her, though it sounded like a reprimand, there wasn't much anger in his voice. A thoughtful look appeared on the old man's face as he told her directly."

"What do you think of Lu Qinian and Zhiyan"

Qiao Baoer's eyes widened as she mechanically turned to look at Lu Qinian, then at Jun Zhiyan.

At a loss for words.

Isn't this old man trying to play matchmaker

"Grandpa, Lu Qinnan that heartthrob doesn't even know how many girlfriends he's had. Zhiyan is nowhere near him, she will definitely be bullied..." Qiao Bao'er excitedly expressed her thoughts.

"Qinan isn't that bad."

But Zhiyan understood nothing.

"Your sister-in-law needs to be taught more..."

Qiao Bao'er approached the elderly person in a familiar and intimate manner, whispering secrets like a grandchild to their grandfather. The old steward, who was preparing tea on the side, watched with a smile on his face. Their young mistress and the old master were indeed very close.

Even Lady Zhiyan, the granddaughter, wouldn't be this close to her grandfather.

"Grandpa, what are you guys talking about" Lu Qinan found an opportunity to chime in. His standard handsome smile was appealing to all ages.

"Bao'er is working outside. I heard she did a good job on her business trip, so I praised her a few words and told her to keep up the good work." Old Master Jun lies without even needing an outline.

< Qiao Baoer mumbled, "He changes faces so quickly." >

The old man coughed nervously, a flicker of irritation in his eyes as he glared at the clueless granddaughter-in-law. He turned to the elderly butler and said, “Serve the dishes.”

After dinner, Jun Zhiyan politely nodded to them as always, and returned to her room in an orderly manner.

Mr. Jun went to the nursery to see his twin great-grandbabies.

Qiao Bao'er and Lu Qinan went for a stroll near the lotus pond in Jun's garden, killing time by the way.

" Qiao Bao'er, being a mother really suits you. Other new mothers worry about their babies day and night, but your twin sons are almost a year old, and you haven't held them many times."

"Grandfather and Junzhimu disagree, what can I do Grandfather even set up a door lock in the nursery for me. It's hard to even go see my son."

"If you like children so much, why don't you just find a woman to have them with Diapers, bottles, and all the other baby gear are readily available anyway."

"That's enough."

Lu Qinian recalled the painful memories of his days of blind dates.

Qiao Bao'er leaned against a railing, the water in the artificial canal flowing slowly. A night breeze blew, bringing a chill that woke her up from her day-long fatigue.

" Qiao Bao'er, weren't you very tired before Why don't you go back to your room to rest first You don't have to stay with me. I'm very familiar with the Jun family..."

Lu Qinan saw that she kept staring at the dark bottom of the pool, not knowing what she was thinking, so he asked with concern.

"What do you think of Zhiyan" she suddenly asked him.

Lu Qinan didn't think about anything else at all and answered very seriously, "Zhiyan working at your company is pretty good. She should get more exposure to society..."

This Lu Gongzi is sometimes quite innocent.

Qiao Bao'er was chilled by the night wind, lifting her eyes to look at him, "Just now, grandpa actually told me that he has been watching you grow up since he was a child, and that you are very good, worthy of entrusting your life to."

"Huh"

Lu Qinan was watching a leaping carp in the pool with half his attention, when she suddenly said this, and he felt a strange worry in his heart.

"What does Grandpa want He wouldn't be trying to find me a wife, would he... I already have an Empress Dowager at home, that's hard enough. Please don't make things more complicated."

Jo Bao'er saw his pitiful appearance and laughed out loud.

Mocked Lu Qinian was unwilling to accept this, and decided to seek revenge.

He pointed to a dim spot behind her, gasping and shouting, "Ah, Qiao Bao'er, look quickly! There's a woman with white clothes and black hair behind you, staring at you menacingly!"

"What the—"

Qiao Bao'er was so frightened that her face turned pale. She panicked and turned to the right, trying to run away, but her forehead slammed into the pillar of the gazebo.

Lu Qinian didn't expect her to be so easily scared, and quickly pulled her back, "I'm kidding you, there's no need to run."

Qiao Bao'er looked at him with a startled expression, somewhat dubious. She then grabbed Lu Qinan and pushed him in front of her as a shield, before quietly glancing back.

Relieved, no one was around.

"Qiao Ba'er, so you're afraid of ghosts"

Lu Qinian seemed to have discovered a new continent, was particularly excited, and immediately said sarcastically, "Isn't it because you've done too many bad things"

Qiao Baoer knew he was deliberately scaring her, and she angrily slapped his head, "You dare to scare me!"

"When I was a child, I always felt like someone was talking in my ear at night and I would have nightmares. I'm scared of something spooky happening to me, you know If you dare to scare me again next time, I'll throw you into the pond!"

Lu Qin'nan's forehead ached, "Who knew you were usually so fierce and liked to overthink things so much..."

"I didn't overthink it!"

Qiao Ba'er recalled an incident, “When I first married into the Jun family, there was one time when I was standing by the fish pond feeding the fish. Suddenly, a heavy object flew over and hit my right knee. At that moment, my legs became unsteady and I knelt down, falling into the fish pond. My whole body was soaked. At that time, I was pregnant. Jun Zhimu and the old man thought I was playing around and scolded me severely. But,”

I told them, I didn't fall into the fish pond myself, but they just wouldn't believe me. The housekeepers searched around the pond for rocks or hard objects but found nothing, saying I was overthinking it. But something clearly hit my foot.

qiao bao'er spoke with indignation, her expression very excited.

Lu Qinan looked at her like this, she didn't seem to be lying, and Qiao Baoer didn't like to lie.

"Didn't you have Zhima go investigate properly back then"

Jo Bao'er blushed, "I wasn't familiar with him back then."

Lu Qinian wanted to laugh. At that time, they had already shared a bed, gotten their marriage license, and even conceived a child. To say they weren't familiar with each other was truly awkward for this couple.

"Don't overthink things, there might be dangers outside, but you are absolutely safe within the Jun family."

Lu Qinan consoled her out of humanitarianism, but after some thought.

"I heard that pregnant people are prone to calcium deficiency, so you might have just tripped and fallen because of weak legs."

"But I remember something hitting me back then." Qiao Ba'er started to sound uncertain, after all, it had been over a year. If it was something like calcium deficiency, she wasn't so sure anymore.

Lu Qinan told her another more scientific speculation, "There's also a possibility that someone threw an ice block at your back knee aiming for it. The ice block hit you, and then fell into the fish pond water, melting away naturally, leaving nothing to be found." aching from the falls. He was covered in mud and struggled to get out of the pit. Luckily, there were no traps at the bottom, or he would have been in real trouble.They had been on the road for days,...
