As for Little Aunt and Little Aunt-in-law… they were perpetually unreachable.
Lu Fugui: 【Told him, but he’s abroad. Can’t help it, had to send his assistant.】
Lu Ningshuang: Oh.
Understood.
So Brother Facai didn’t favor girls over boys.
Lu Ningshuang: 【I’ll go then.】
Lu Ningshuang: 【I’m pretty free here.】
Lu Fugui: 【Thanks. If Jiao Jiao started it, beat him.】
Lu Ningshuang: 【…】
Confirmed, biological sister.
Lu Fugui: 【But I don’t think he’s that brainless.】
Then, another red packet arrived.
Lu Fugui: 【Errand fee.】
Rare, truly rare!
The iron rooster plucked its own feathers!!
Lu Ningshuang: 【What have you been busy with lately?】
Lu Fugui: 【Making money, obviously.】
Lu Fugui: 【Gotta go. Check Jiao Jiao’s situation and let me know.】
Lu Fugui: 【I regret it, don’t click the red packet.】
When she said that, Lu Ningshuang had to click it even more!
【You claimed Lu Fugui’s red packet—0.1.】
Lu Ningshuang: “…”
The money-grubbing miser persona never collapses. As expected of you, Fugui!!!
Since she had to go to the kindergarten for Lu Jiaojiao, Lu Ningshuang had to leave early. She went to the supervisor, prepared to have her pay docked.
But maybe Lu Ningshuang was in a good mood and lucky today. When the supervisor passed by, she happily stuffed two packs of wedding candy into her hands. Taking gifts makes one soft.
The usually cold and strict supervisor was exceptionally easygoing today, smilingly approving Lu Ningshuang’s early leave without even mentioning docking her meager intern salary!
Lu Ningshuang: !!
The marriage luck was still blessing her!
The little live-in Alpha walked out, oblivious that the supervisor’s cabinet held more than just those two packs.
All identical styles.
And throughout the company, recipients of the wedding candy weren’t limited to just her department head…
Lu Ningshuang called a car early. Sitting in it, she edited a message to Qin Yushu, explaining the situation and that she’d be home late.
Telling Qin Yushu to eat first, no need to wait.
Although last time she reported, Qin Yushu said trivial matters didn’t need reporting.
But Lu Ningshuang could feel it clearly.
The relationship progress between the Monday two weeks ago and this Monday was worlds apart.
—A little dog’s innate keen intuition.
Q: 【No rush.】
Q: 【I’m busy here too.】
They’d known each other for a while, and Lu Ningshuang had changed her nickname several times, but Qin Yushu kept the original one.
Lu Ningshuang hesitated to change the contact name but decided against it.
This was very Qin Yushu style~!
Hearing Qin Yushu say that made her somewhat happy.
Lu Ningshuang: 【Okay.】
Lu Ningshuang: 【Don’t work too hard.】
Q: 【Mm.】
Q: 【What’s wrong with the child?】
Lu Ningshuang: 【Fugui wasn’t urgent, probably just a petty fight. Kids fighting and calling parents is normal. I’ll go check, I’ll be back soon. I have experience with this.】
Q: 【Where did Youyou get experience?】
Lu Ningshuang: “…”
Lu Ningshuang fell silent.
Of course, it was from when her cousin acted as the parent and she was the troublemaker student!
She absolutely couldn’t let Qin Yushu know that, so she started dodging the question.
Qin Yushu probably knew—whether guessed or known beforehand—but she “thoughtfully” didn’t press, saving the live-in Alpha Little Lu some face.
The other side seemed busy too, replying slowly. But Lu Ningshuang was in the car, chatting sporadically to kill time.
Q: 【Address.】
Lu Ningshuang didn’t think much of it and forwarded the location Lu Fugui sent her to Qin Yushu.
Q: 【…】
Live-in Alpha Little Lu: What does Wifey mean by that?
*
Arriving at the address.
Lu Ningshuang looked up at the familiar kindergarten gate and finally realized what Qin Yushu’s six dots meant.
Wasn’t this the international bilingual (aristocratic) kindergarten where she acted as a “One-Day Mommy”?
When did Lu Jiaojiao switch schools? Or was the Old Lu Family fleecing sheep starting from kindergarten now???
With little time left for shock, Lu Ningshuang quickly explained to the guard that she was Lu Jiaojiao… Lu Zhuixing’s guardian. After identity verification, she entered.
It was around 4:30 PM, dismissal time, crowded. She vaguely heard someone call “Lu Shuangshuang.”
—
Lu Ningshuang didn’t turn her head.
Who is Lu Shuangshuang? Is there a kid named that here? She didn’t know them.
Her nickname was “Lu Youyou” now!

Lu Ningshuang went straight to the teacher’s office. Before she could greet the teacher, a white glutinous rice ball sitting on a small chair lit up and pounced on her.
“Second Sister, I missed you so much~~”
The little guy’s tone was sticky sweet, mimicking someone unknown. He hugged Lu Ningshuang’s leg, looking outside again. Not seeing the familiar person, he wasn’t disappointed, just looked at Lu Ningshuang with starry eyes.
“Spill it, what trouble did you cause?”
Lu Ningshuang bent down to poke the clingy head, then reached out. With strength completely mismatching her “delicate” appearance, she picked up the little dumpling with one arm.
The little guy was well-behaved, not struggling or clinging to burden his sister.
Though only five, under the education of a male-virtue-abiding cousin, he knew boys shouldn’t be too close to girls—regardless of age.
But he hadn’t seen Second Sister in a while, and Jiao Jiao missed her. So hugging for a bit without moving should be fine… right?
While Lu Jiaojiao had his internal monologue, Lu Ningshuang, holding the cub, heard someone calling again.
“Lu Shuangshuang, what a… coincidence.”
The voice started as a casual greeting but ended with a sudden tinge of irrepressible joy from a long-awaited reunion.
The Lu siblings turned their heads in unison. At the office door, behind Lu Ningshuang, stood a young, beautiful woman.
Judging by her face, she was about Lu Ningshuang’s age, but tall, with an extraordinary bearing and gorgeous appearance.
Her attire was clearly high-end, not to mention those bold, unrestrained phoenix eyes looking at Lu Ningshuang with fragmented, delighted amusement.
Real and unmistakable.
Lu Ningshuang frowned slightly.
So the “Lu Shuangshuang” she heard at the gate wasn’t a hallucination; it really was for her!
Lu Jiaojiao looked at his sister, then at the stranger, his little brain working hard until a lightbulb went on.
He tugged Lu Ningshuang’s jacket. “Second Sister, Second Sister, is this my legendary rich Second Sister-in-law?”
Lu Ningshuang: “…”
The news about being rich definitely came from Lu Chengyue!
No need to guess.
“No.” Lu Ningshuang denied it quickly.
“Oh.”
The little guy’s eyes dimmed, looking disappointed. By now, Lu Ningshuang had put him back on the ground.
Immediately after.
Lu Jiaojiao got flicked on the forehead. “Keep talking nonsense, and watch your Second Sister-in-law not give you a meeting red packet.”
The little guy’s eyes went wide.
Lu Zhuixing was only five, a boy, but he inherited the Lu family’s good looks. Even exaggerated expressions didn’t look ugly.
He was flicked by Lu Ningshuang, forehead stinging a bit. But disciplining a silly five-year-old brother, Lu Ningshuang didn’t use real force, just a token gesture.
Hearing the last part, Lu Jiaojiao, who was covering his forehead, hurriedly covered his mouth.
“Want red packet!” The little guy stubbornly whispered.
Lu Jiaojiao wasn’t as money-obsessed as his sister, but getting a red packet for his sister would make her happy~
Sister happy, Jiao Jiao happy.
Super happy!
—Brother Facai’s male virtue education was truly excellent~!
Lu Ningshuang rubbed the dumpling’s head, then heard the person speak again. “You actually went and got married.”
She clearly knew the news. Looking at Lu Ningshuang, her tone held no surprise, even seeming prepared and confident in a way that made one uncomfortable.
Then, the woman laughed.
“To whom? Oh, I heard it was that one… An Omega… indeed a bit troublesome, but no matter. Heh, you can always divorce after marriage…”
She spoke as if to herself, voice moderate but audible to both.
Finally.
A gaze, overly dark and paranoid, fell on Lu Ningshuang.
The woman called out softly, enunciating clearly yet chillingly, “Lu Shuangshuang, how could you just get married like that?”
Lu Ningshuang: ???
What business is it of yours if I marry! Also, who are you?! Talking to yourself since we met!!
Now, even Lu Jiaojiao looked at her strangely, not just because of the crazy speech, but filled with shock, admiration… and confusion.
The five-year-old dumpling clearly felt Second Sister’s petting force change.
And Lu Ningshuang finally looked up at the person across from her.
She had a soft, harmless look, especially when smiling. But now, her clear almond eyes narrowed slightly, the curve of her pink lips lifting into a beautiful arc.
Yet in an instant, she released the oppressive, dangerous aura of an Alpha.
Lu Ningshuang frowned as if recalling, speaking lazily. “You are—”
The person seemed in a better mood because of this voice, the gloom in her eyes fading, staring at Lu Ningshuang.
Staring…
As if she could look until the end of time.
Unfortunately, the impatient Lu Ningshuang skipped asking who she was. With a slight movement, she moved the cub behind her and finished the sentence.
“Have you grown up without ever getting beaten?!”
Speaking so rudely, cursing her divorce upon meeting…
I’ll beat you flat~!!!!
