859 Charming Lu Zihao vs. Devilish Lu Zihao (1/2)

Sun Jingfei chuckled but it sounded a little forced. ”Don't look at your mother like that. I'm not that pitiful. Yes, I loved your father but we were not meant together. That's all. And I don't regret becoming pregnant with you. Never. You're the best thing that ever happened to me, Jing'er, my little angel. I just hope that you'll get to enjoy your youth more and not become a mother too early like I did. Raising a child is a big responsibility and your life will change forever. I know that you'll be a great mother someday, but I hope that you'll only choose to become one when you feel that you're really ready to build a family of your own.”

Long Jinjing blinked her eyes rapidly to prevent tears from falling. ”I understand, Mom. Don't worry about me.”

”It's a mother's job to worry about her child.”

They smiled at each other, both teary. Pure love surrounded them like a warm cocoon of comfort.

Inside the bathroom, Lu Zihao glowered at his own reflection in the mirror. Ferocious aura emanated from him in heavy waves. His entire body was tense, causing all his muscles to pop up.

”I let you take over but only for today,” he hissed at his reflection. ”Don't get used to it. This is my body now.”

His reflection smirked and gave a charmingly roguish chuckle. ”Don't be so uptight. You'll age my handsome face faster.”

”Who was it again who asked me for help because someone doesn't know how to deal with his girlfriend's mother? Oh, it's you!”

”Shut up,” the devilish Lu Zihao growled.

”Easy there, Nikolai,” the charming Lu Zihao said in an easy, casual tone. ”Despite your arrogance, you actually care about that pretty girlfriend of yours and are willing to accommodate her request to be mindful of how you act in front of her mother. The only problem is that you don't know how. Lucky you that I'm here to the rescue! Dun dun dun dun!”

”Don't feel too smug about it. This is simply a deal for cooperation. Nothing more.”

Charming Lu Zihao became serious. ”Indeed, it's a deal for cooperation so you better fulfill your end of the bargain.”

”Yes,” Devilish Lu Zihao said through gritted teeth.
