883 Past Girlfriends (2/2)
If it wasn't for Grandpa Lu's reminder, Long Jinjing might have already completely forgotten about the take-out dinner and the fact that both Shun and Robin were still present. The two were just like their boss, Lu Zihao. They were all able to move without making any sound. Sometimes, she wouldn't even know that they were in the same room as her because they were so silent.
She smiled at them in shy amusement and asked, ”Shunnosuke? Robilyn? Are those your real names?”
Shun cleared his throat. ”Not exactly my real name, Miss Jinjing. But yes, Shun is short for Shunnosuke. I'm originally from Japan, in case you're wondering.”
Long Jinjing was surprised at the information. She turned to Robin next with an expectant expression on her face. However, the other woman only smiled at her without saying anything and proceeded to start getting the dining table ready. Long Jinjing got the hint and stopped asking.
”I'll help,” she said and was about to join them at preparing the dining table but Shun blocked her.
”No, Miss. Please let us handle the table. Why don't you stay here and chat with Grandfather Boss? Robin and I will be quick.”
”But—”
”Jinjing girl, you don't want to chat with this old man? How come? I want to know!” Grandpa Lu tried sounding pitiful but it didn't work because of his booming voice and the clear mischievous amusement glinting in his sharp eyes.
”I…no, that's n-not it, Grandpa Lu!” Long Jinjing said in a hurry. ”Of course, I want to chat with you. I just…uhm, wanted to help set the table….”
”Bahahaha! I was just teasing you, Jinjing my girl! You really are such a good, nice and very kind young lady! I'm so relieved to know that my pinheaded grandson finally decided to follow my good taste in women!”
Long Jinjing paused and frowned a little but still smiled and asked in her most casual tone, ”What do you mean by that, Grandpa Lu? Zihao had poor taste in women before?”
The old man made a face. ”Don't mind that boy's past girlfriends. Those women are nothing compared to you, my girl! What's important is that you and my Haohao are together now.”
Her frown deepened but she still forced herself to smile before nodding.
