Their eyes met and she froze for a moment . She tightened her grip on the doorknob .
She pressed her lips and was about to walk away when Lu Yinan spoke . “You’re dressed formally . Are you going to work?”
It was the seventh day of the new year and most people went back to work .
He spoke casually with a tinge of coldness and sarcasm .
His heart was billowing with emotions . The Zhou Shuang that he saw seemed unaffected and cold . It scared him .
Zhou Shuang nodded and replied, “Yeah . ”
She relinquished her grip on the doorknob and walked to the staircase .

Lu Yinan closely trailed after her, and he wanted to grab her arm—but he just couldn’t do it .
It wasn’t that he was scared, but rather, he couldn’t cast his pride aside . He felt that he couldn’t do that just to appease Zhou Shuang and win her back .
He definitely developed feelings for her after all these years . Even if it might not be love, it could still be affection for her . So, it was normal for him to miss her .
Lu Yinan persuaded himself and came to that conclusion . So, he withdrew his outstretched hand .
He placed his hands into his pockets, resuming his air of refined dignity .
He wore a pair of soft bedroom slippers, and he trod softly a few steps behind her . He made sure that he maintained a distance behind her when they went down the stairs .
Zhou Shuang held a handbag with one hand, with the other hand in her pocket . Her footsteps were determined and at ease .

She didn’t seem reluctant to leave .
Lu Yinan gazed quietly at her and unconsciously clenched his fists tightly .
He had been restraining himself ever since he got together with Zhou Shuang . He dug his fingernails into his palms .
Old Master Lu was playing chess with Jiaojiao, while First Lu and Third Lu sat beside them .
Third Lu was clueless about chess, so she cheered both of them .
“Mommy!”
Third Lu sprinted to both Zhou Shuang and Lu Yinan when she saw them .
Zhou Shuang strode to the couch with a smile . “It’s so early . Why are all of you so noisy?”
She hugged Yanyan and stroked her hair .
She held the girl’s hand and continued walking forward .
“Great Grandfather is playing chess with Jiaojiao . He lost the game . Jiaojiao is better!” First Lu glanced at Old Master Lu with a look of disdain .
His great grandfather was over 80 years old . But he lost to a child . Wasn’t that embarrassing?
That was what he was trying to convey with his expression .
Zhou Shuang chuckled . “Great Grandfather must have lost on purpose . ”
“I didn’t do that,” Old Master Lu interjected sternly .
Zhou Shuang realized that Old Master Lu was being serious .
He suddenly stretched his hand and stroked Jiaojiao’s hair . With a benign and gentle smile, he said, “You are truly a descendant of the Lu family . You possess both courage and wit . You will go far . ”
Jiaojiao smiled at the old man and humbly replied, “Thank you Great Grandfather for teaching me . And you went easy on me . If not, I wouldn’t have won the game . ”
She was so sensible, and her voice was sweet and lovely .
Chen Anyun came out of the dining room and hastened her footsteps . “Look at this girl! What a sweet-talker she is . ”
