”S-sir Lu!”
Long Jinjing was shocked to see Lu Zihao's grandfather. She jumped off the stool so fast that she almost stumbled to the floor. Fortunately, she was able to hold on to the kitchen counter just in time to save herself from falling flat on her face.
Embarrassment flooded her due to her clumsiness, especially in front of her boyfriend's grandfather and subordinates. Although Lu Zihao was only her temporary boyfriend for a month, the two of them were still treating their relationship as something official. In fact, she sometimes felt like he was treating their arrangement more seriously than her.
Just last week, her mother caught the two of them together in her condo unit. She was only wearing a robe that time while he exited the bedroom with a mere towel wrapped around his waist. It was obvious just by looking at them what they had been doing.
Now, it appeared that it was Lu Zihao's grandfather's turn to catch her staying in Lu Zihao's penthouse. On a brighter note, at least she was wearing full clothes and Lu Zihao wasn't in sight showing off his half-naked state. And on an even brighter note, at least nobody caught the two of them in the actual act of having sex.
Long Jinjing wanted to cry. Needless to say, she was not prepared at all to handle this kind of awkward situations. So embarrassing!
”Careful, girl!” the old man's deep voice boomed throughout the penthouse.
He rushed towards her with long, energetic strides. His movements were nothing like that of an old man at all. Then he grasped her arm and lifted her up easily as if she weighed nothing to him. In this sense, he was exactly the same as his grandson. Both were extremely strong people.
”T-thank you, Sir Lu,” Long Jinjing said in a soft, embarrassed voice. She could feel the heat spreading on her face and neck.
He narrowed his eyes at her and pretended to act angry. ”Why are you still calling this old man Sir Lu? Are we still strangers? I want to know! Especially now that I learn that you've become the girlfriend of that pinheaded grandson of mine! What did I tell you and that Fei girl to call me before?”
”Oh, I…G-grandpa Lu,” she whispered, unable to look at the old man in the eyes. Her voice was filled with shyness. She felt like a little girl who did something naughty in front of the respected elder.
”Bahahaha! Good girl! Don't forget to call me Grandpa Lu from now on or this old man will be very sad!” Then in a gentler voice, he told her, ”Now raise your head and look at me. Grandpa wants to see your beautiful face.”
Despite her overwhelming shyness, she still obeyed and carefully raised her head and looked at Grandpa Lu, only to find him grinning at her. His happiness was obvious and she couldn't help but become infected by it. Without realizing it, she also started smiling.
Grandpa Lu turned to the other two people who were standing silently by the side. ”Shunnosuke, Robilyn, start arranging the food on the dining table. I don't know about you young ones but this old man is already hungry! The food you ordered smells good. Good job, Shunnosuke!”
