After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him - Chapter 56

Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Mr. Song from their family really is a little angel, isn’t he?

“Yes, when the time comes, it won’t be anything other than what you, mom, want her to do that she will have to do!”

Xia Wenjin’s mouth maliciously curved, and all the rage she had felt towards Lu Zhaozhao was released in this moment.

As long as Cao Mei destroyed Lu Zhaozhao, she would lose everything she currently had.

Then everything would return to its rightful track!

In the evening, when Lu Zhaozhao got home, she immediately sensed a depressing atmosphere in the living room.

Upon seeing her, Zhao Xi and Qian Hong acted as if they had seen a savior, rushing over immediately.

Qian Hong took the bag from her hands with a smile brimming in her eyes, “Madam, you’re back. Are you hungry now? I’ll make sure dinner is served in the dining room right away.”

“Madam, you’ve worked hard, let me take the bags!” Zhao Xi, overly eager to please, took the bag from Qian Hong and followed right behind Lu Zhaozhao.

The overly enthusiastic expressions of the two sharply contrasted with the oppressive mood of the home.

Lu Zhaozhao, wearing slippers, walked into the living room and glanced at the empty sofa. She couldn’t help but speak up, “Mr. Song…”

“Mr. Song is currently in the study, but he’s in a bad mood.” No sooner had Lu Zhaozhao spoken than Zhao Xi couldn’t hold back.

He began to spill everything like beans out of a bamboo tube, chattering away.

“If you have a moment, Madam, could you please make a trip to the study? After all, it’s almost time for dinner…”

He looked at Lu Zhaozhao with a face full of anticipation, as if he were afraid she might refuse.

Since the afternoon when their household’s Mr. Song received a call from the Song Mansion, Song Sinian’s mood had been off.

It wasn’t that his facial expression showed much, but rather the low pressure around him was suffocating.

Since Song Sinian had married Lu Zhaozhao, he had been like a sunflower that sees the sun every day – bright and sunny.

Zhao Xi had almost forgotten this choking sensation, as if being throttled at any moment.

Lu Zhaozhao didn’t rush to get up but instead looked at Zhao Xi and inquired in detail, “What’s upsetting Mr. Song? Is it something to do with work?”

In her last life, Song Sinian’s emotions had barely fluctuated, so she had no idea what could upset him so visibly.

Zhao Xi hesitated, glancing at Lu Zhaozhao, unsure how to explain.

In the end, he could only resort to a pleading look towards Qian Hong.

“Cough, cough… Madam, actually… next Monday is Old Master Song’s 80th birthday. Mr. Song needs to make a trip back to the Song Mansion,” Qian Hong kindly helped explain.

Old Master Song’s 80th birthday.

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhaozhao’s pupils nearly quivered on the spot.

She had almost forgotten this important event!

She remembered that in her last life, Old Master Song didn’t celebrate his 80th birthday because the day before, he had fallen while climbing a mountain for exercise and had not received timely assistance, resulting in a month-long coma.

Although he eventually woke up, his legs were left immobile.

In her past life, she didn’t interact much with Old Master Song, but he had been rather decent to her, one of the few who truly treated her as a member of the Song Family.

Unfortunately, at the time, Old Master Song’s health was in decline, so a lot of the Song Family’s affairs were left in Xiao Jinglan’s hands.

Lu Zhaozhao’s eyes narrowed; that was one of the opportunities Xiao Jinglan took to act against Song Sinian.

Zhao Xi and Qian Hong saw that Lu Zhaozhao had been silent, so they exchanged glances with each other, and in the end it was Qian Hong who began to speak.

“Madam?”

She softly called out, successfully snapping Lu Zhaozhao back to reality.

Lu Zhaozhao lifted her eyes to glance at Qian Hong, then at Zhao Xi, before slowly getting up from the sofa, “I’ll go see Mr. Song, and as for dinner… uh…”

“Don’t worry, Madam, I will arrange it for later!” Before Lu Zhaozhao could finish her words, Zhao Xi excitedly grabbed Lu Zhaozhao’s purse and looked at her with anticipation.

“Uh… okay.”

Although Lu Zhaozhao didn’t understand why Zhao Xi was so excited, she had too much on her mind at the moment to pay it much mind.

This weekend, she was going to visit the mountain where Old Master Song often went to exercise.

Fortunately, the place was not too remote nor was the altitude high, but now the most pressing issue was finding an appropriate excuse.

Lu Zhaozhao was pondering this when she unconsciously arrived at Song Sinian’s study door.

She raised her hand to knock, but there was no response from the study.

She gently pushed the door open, poking half her head inside, and cautiously asked into the room, “Mr. Song? Are you busy?”

The study was dark, the glowing computer screen casting half of his handsome face into shadow.

“Not busy.” As soon as her words fell, a faint voice came from inside the study.

When Lu Zhaozhao entered, she flipped on the office’s overhead light, and the dim room suddenly brightened, causing Song Sinian to squint reflexively.

He casually took off the glasses perched on his nose and pinched the bridge of his nose with a semblance of fatigue.

“Ah, sorry, I forgot to remind you to close your eyes first.” She hurried over, reaching around from behind him to shade his profound eyes with her small hand.

Lu Zhaozhao gently massaged for a moment before lifting one hand to ask, “Is that better?”

Song Sinian reached up to grasp her slender wrist, then let it go, not forgetting to respond to Lu Zhaozhao, “Yes, much better.”

Looking at his endearing appearance, Lu Zhaozhao simply stood behind him, letting him hold her wrist.

She remembered what Qian Hong and Zhao Xi had said downstairs and ventured a question, “Mr. Song, are you feeling unwell today?”

Song Sinian’s hand on Lu Zhaozhao’s wrist suddenly stiffened, then he gently moved her hand aside just enough to gap and blinked at her.

Lu Zhaozhao quickly realized that he might not be able to answer her question.

She quickly rephrased, teasingly blinking at Song Sinian, “I was asking if you need a kiss, a hug, or to be lifted up high?”

This time, Song Sinian visibly reacted. He pinched her wrist gently, and after hesitating, spoke very seriously, “I am too heavy for you, you can’t lift me up high; you would get hurt.”

“…”

Lu Zhaozhao was almost at a loss for words, trying to lighten the mood, but it had turned awkward.

Just as she was about to explain, she heard Song Sinian continue in his calm manner, “But if you want, I am always available.”

“…”

Okay, their Mr. Song must really be a little angel!

Lu Zhaozhao felt her heart flutter instantly and couldn’t help but cup Song Sinian’s cheeks with her hands, leaning down to plant a kiss on his head.

Song Sinian’s dark eyes blinked slightly and he pulled her into his embrace, his voice tightening, “Zhaozhao, kiss me…”
