Chapter 311: Chapter 311: Finding a Backer, Smashing the Place

Today is a rare good weather day.

Last night, Nuonuo slept with her two brothers.

Upon waking up, she found herself in the embrace of Ji Chao, rubbed her eyes, and looked up to see Ji Chao’s handsome profile.

Little Dumpling smiled happily: She has not one, but two good-looking brothers.

Little Dumpling, who had wanted to sneak out of bed to find Mom and brush her teeth, had just crawled out from under the blanket when she saw Ji Chao open his eyes.

She felt a bit embarrassed, “Brother, did Nuonuo wake you up?”

“No, brother was about to wake up anyway.”

He slowly sat up, patted his sister’s fluffy head, which after sleeping resembled a Golden Lion King.

Ji Chao got out of bed to put on his shoes first and then helped Nuonuo into hers. The two glanced at Ji Ze who was sprawled out asleep and went hand in hand to the bathroom to brush their teeth and wash up.

After washing her face, Nuonuo ran to the cloakroom to choose her clothes, but then she saw the familiar black Maybach downstairs through the floor-to-ceiling window, with a man in black clothes and pants leaning on the car door, looking up in the direction of the upstairs master bedroom.

Ah? It’s the bargain dad!

She stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window waving to Ji Muye downstairs, her smile even brighter and more splendid than the soon-to-rise sun.

Ji Muye’s chilly eyebrows softened as he stood up straight.

Ji Chao, who had just changed clothes and come over, saw his sister waving downstairs. He walked over curiously and saw his father, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time. Joy instantly spread across his face.

Ji Muye’s injury ached faintly, but seeing the smiles on his children’s faces made him feel that this pain was negligible.

After changing, Little Dumpling was led downstairs by Ji Chao.

“Uncle~” Nuonuo came out of the house and enthusiastically waved to Ji Muye.

Wearing a pink and white fluffy coat, she looked like an adorable little bunny as she shouted and ran towards him.

The man hurriedly stepped forward to catch the full force of her enthusiasm. The corners of his usually cold mouth lifted slightly, softening the chill emanating from him.

Thinking that he had been standing here for quite some time, his body must have caught the morning dew.

Ji Muye pulled the child out of his embrace and said in a deep, water-like voice, “Uncle’s body is cold.”

Nuonuo didn’t care whether it was cold or not.

But she seemed to smell something terrible.

She leaned into Ji Muye’s embrace, her delicate and upright nose sniffed, the faint scent of rust was especially noticeable.

Nuonuo exclaimed in surprise: “Uncle, are you injured?”

Following his sister out of the house, Ji Chao heard her and immediately stepped forward quickly, “Dad, are you alright?”

Lu Xining had stayed up a bit late dealing with work yesterday, and woke up a little later than usual.

Hearing Little Dumpling’s crisp voice calling for Uncle downstairs, she got out of bed and slightly parted the curtains to peek, and she saw a man dressed in black standing at the door on the ground floor.

Seeing her son suddenly anxiously hurry to pull him inside, she sensed that something was amiss.

By the time she descended the stairs, she saw that Nuonuo and Ji Chao had already tugged at Ji Muye’s black trench coat.

“Uncle, you have to be good, otherwise the doctor will give you a shot in the butt.”

A shot in the butt was an obstacle that Little Dumpling could never overcome in her lifetime, and in her eyes, it was a very painful thing.

To Ji Muye, Little Dumpling’s childlike words were so warmly affectionate.

Ji Chao looked at the medical box in his hands, somewhat at a loss, not knowing where to start.

Seeing Lu Xining coming downstairs, he hurried over to seek her help, “Mom, dad is injured, can you help bandage him up?”

The bright lights in the living room cascaded down from above onto the man’s face.

He had lost a lot of weight in this period, his complexion had darkened by two shades, and his whole appearance had become even sharper, with an indistinct chill surrounding him.

“Xiao Chao, don’t rush,” Lu Xining gently touched her son’s head and said softly.

She had someone call for the family doctor.

Because of Lu Nuonuo’s frail health since childhood, both at the Ming Manor and the Jingzhou Lu Family, there was always a doctor on standby.

Ji Muye sighed at her string of actions that distanced herself from him, realizing his ploy of feigning injury had failed.

The female doctor finished changing Ji Muye’s dressings and re-bandaged him.

During this time, Ji Chao and Lu Nuonuo were like two curious babies, staring at the fierce wound on his shoulder.

Each time the doctor sprinkled the medicine powder, Little Dumpling would make a ‘hiss’ sound of pain, sounding extremely adorable.

Seeing the doctor was about to leave after finishing the bandaging, Lu Nuonuo pointed at Ji Muye, whose lips were pale, and asked the doctor, “Aunty, doesn’t uncle need to get a shot in the butt?”

Ji Chao also thought of the miraculous effects of the shot in the butt and nodded in agreement, “Maybe dad should get one too.”

It would help him get better faster.

The female doctor was amused by the two children’s ideas and with a smile, said it wasn’t necessary for now.

Upstairs, Ji Ze slowly awoke, accustomed to seeing his brother and sister already up after he woke up. After seeing clothes prepared by the bed and freshening up, he came downstairs and saw Ji Muye sitting on the sofa.

“Dad–,” Ji Ze rushed over excitedly.

Ji Chao quickly stopped him, “Little brother, be careful, dad has wounds, and you can’t bump into him.”

The man looked gaunter, which made his eye sockets appear deeper, and his usually cold features now had an added touch of ruggedness. He smiled and waved to Ji Ze, who was coming towards him.

After the three children finished breakfast, Ji Muye took them away.

Lu Xining thought he was taking the kids out to play and didn’t pay much attention to it as she turned to go back to the study to deal with matters concerning the Fuxian Experimental Base.

Xu Zhi, who succeeded in getting a divorce with her help, had sent some results of detailed revisions.

The two women, having set aside their differences, began a discussion about certain aspects of their careers.

Meanwhile, a black Maybach was making steady progress.

Lu Nuonuo flailed excitedly as she recounted Su Ting bullying her mom and godmother the day before.

“He was mean to godmother and also mean to mom, so bad,” she said.

Little Dumpling, having found a new powerful ally, was almost at the point of writing “big bad guy” on Su Ting’s face.

Ji Chao and Ji Ze twitched their mouths.

It was their first time hearing their sister talk so much.

The man listened very carefully.

Especially when Little Dumpling got to the part where Su Ting raised his hand as if to hit someone, Ji Muye’s gaze darkened and he responded, “In a bit, uncle will tie him up, and we can vent for mom, okay?”

Lu Nuonuo thought about it and felt it was a good idea.

Ever since Ming Yuan left the restaurant yesterday, Su Ting first dropped Qin Xuexin off at the villa he had bought her, then drove to the Ming Manor, only to be stopped by the security guards at the gate.

The current Ming Manor was off-limits to Su Ting and dogs.

Beep beep, two sounds.

Su Ting woke up inside the car, bleary-eyed, and tensed up when he saw the familiar black Maybach.

Seeing the familiar face of his good friend made Su Ting irate.

His ex-wife and daughter were the biggest obstacles on his path to reconciliation with Ming Yuan.

Just as he was about to get out of the car and have a proper talk, he saw the man bend over to pick up a little pink and white Dumpling from the car and straighten her fluffy rabbit hat.

Lu Nuonuo, just out of the warm car, immediately shrank her neck as the cold wind blew.

“Cold?” Ji Muye’s voice was deep and magnetic.
