Chapter 155 -155: Unreachable Son

Lu Xining called Fu Junhang back the moment she saw the message.

After finding out that Little Dumpling had gone to the Shi’an Group to look for her brother, she hurriedly finished her lab work and went home to accompany her daughter.

When she got home, Lu Nuonuo had just returned from the amusement park, still holding a little balloon, and ran over happily to hug her.

“Mommy, Mommy.”

Lu Xining hugged her and walked towards the home, while behind her, Fu Junhang was carrying big and small packages, all toys bought for Little Dumpling.

Little Dumpling, tired from playing, snuggled into her arms and spoke in a subdued voice, “Nuonuo misses brother.”

She kissed her daughter’s cheek gently and soothingly said, “Shall we call brother then?”

She couldn’t get through to Ji Chao and Ji Ze’s phones, so Lu Xining had no choice but to call Ji Muye to ask about the situation.

A deep, slightly weary voice came from the other end, “Xining?”

Lu Xining, not one to act on impulse, rationally asked, “Why can’t I reach Xiao Chao and Xiao Ze’s phone watches?”

For more convenient contact, she had prepared phone watches for them.

Ji Muye glanced at the current time and explained, “Grandfather is very attentive to the two kids, having arranged several new tutors for them; they’ve been in classes all day.”

He continued from the back seat of his car, “I’m almost at the Ji Family’s place, I’ll ask about the phone watches when I get back.”

The call was on speakerphone, so Little Dumpling also heard the conversation.

Though she only half understood, she realized her brothers weren’t ignoring her calls on purpose, and the unhappiness in her eyes instantly vanished.

Ji Muye, hearing the rustle on the other end, asked attentively, “Is Nuonuo there with you?”

Lu Xining’s gaze landed on her daughter, who was lying on the coffee table staring at the phone, and she handed the response over to her.

Hearing her own name, Little Dumpling muttered, “Yes, I am.”

Recalling the day’s surveillance footage, Ji Muye explained softly, and suggested she visit him directly next time.

Lu Nuonuo pouted, “I don’t want to.”

Her refusal was instinctive; having to make an appointment with her uncle was just too bothersome.

After all, she just wanted to visit her two brothers.

Ji Muye: “…”

With her lingering concerns gone, Lu Nuonuo rubbed her stomach and acted coy, “Mommy, I’m hungry.”

Lu Xining, soothing her daughter, sent her to find Fu Junhang, “Okay, you go eat with Uncle Fu first, mommy still has something to discuss with your brother’s father.”

Lu Nuonuo nodded, got up, and ran towards Fu Junhang, joyfully calling out as she ran, “Uncle Fu～”

Fu Junhang was serving dishes and quickly knelt down to catch Little Dumpling’s flurry, lifting her with one arm, “Let’s go, we’ll have some meat.”

His cooking was excellent; whenever he was here, he would take over the kitchen duties without question.

Once her daughter was out of sight, Lu Xining immediately dropped her smile, got up, and walked to the balcony outside the living room.

The call was still ongoing, Ji Muye could clearly catch the breathing on the other end and also heard Lu Nuonuo’s fondness for that man.

Lu Xining, gazing out at the night sky, suddenly spoke, “Ji Muye, are you tired?”

The man paused, “What?”

Lu Xining chose to stay in Jingzhou for Ji Chao and Ji Ze.

Though the Jingzhou Temporary Laboratory was well-built, it still lacked some of the facilities of the ZN Laboratory in Country C, but it was also more conducive to her research on the Artificial Uterus project.

This was something Ji Muye was also aware of.

“I’m quite tired, Ji Muye.”

“Every time you take the kids back, I always end up having trouble contacting them on this end.”

“It was Liu Xixi before, now it’s grandpa, what’s next?”

Ji Muye frowned, “Xining, do you really want to argue with me? The kids have lived with you for so long, can’t you handle just a few days when I take them back to the Ji Family?”

“Do the kids have to take off their phone watches during class?”

The last time Lu Xining went to discuss custody with him, he had pulled such a stunt that the matter had to be put on hold.

Now, she didn’t want to delay any longer.

“Let’s be frank, have you ever considered giving me custody of the children?”

Ji Muye stayed silent.

Even with today’s Lu Xining, who had sufficient capability to raise the two children, she still fell somewhat short against the backdrop of the Ji Family and Shi’an Group.

That wasn’t to say that she wasn’t formidable or strong as a woman.

The Ji Family had a century-old foundation, and, in the hands of a wise and ambitious man like Ji Muye, the Shi’an Group wasn’t something she could surpass in just a few years.

She had deeply considered the matter concerning the two children.

Currently, the custody was on Ji Muye’s side, and he no longer had someone unrighteous like Liu Xixi by his side.

If Ji Muye could wholeheartedly look after the two children, and if Ji Chao and Ji Ze preferred to stay with him, Lu Xining had indeed considered not contesting the custody.

As long as the children were happy and well-cared-for, a mother could rest easy.

“Why don’t we ask the children what they want, see if they would like to come with me?”

Every time the children returned to the Ji Family, it became quite difficult for Lu Xining to get in touch with them.

She suggested changing from ‘sole custody’ to ‘joint custody’, setting specific times for when the children would be with him and with her.

For a man with the personality of Ji Muye, she couldn’t confront him head-on.

Both of their careers were at a busy stage, and the children needed companionship. Cooperating with each other was the best way to negotiate.

Ji Muye caught the critical information from her words, “Where are you going now?”

His whole body emitted a great pressure, causing the front driver to gulp nervously, quickly raising the partition to facilitate their conversation.

In the past two years, Lu Xining had been running between Yunqiao Village and Country C, and now there was Jingzhou added to the mix.

She counter-asked instead, “That’s my business. We’re discussing the arrangements for the children right now. Are you available tomorrow? We can talk in person.”

The veins in the man’s neck tightened: “I’m not available.”

Lu Xining: “…”

She lazily looked up at the flowers outside the window, “Okay, then you pick a time, and I’ll accommodate you.”

Ji Muye suddenly fell silent.

After hanging up the phone, his form submerged into the dimness inside the car.

Looking at the ended call on her phone, Lu Xining still felt it was more satisfying to keep him on the blacklist.

But because of the two children, she couldn’t do that.

Someone knocked on the door of the balcony, and Fu Junhang leaned against the wall saying, “Sister Ning, if you don’t come, Little Dumpling has no appetite to eat.”

Lu Nuonuo chimed in several times calling for mommy.

Lu Xining smirked: “I’m coming.”

When Ji Muye got home, he immediately asked about the children’s day.

The butler truthfully reported that Old Sir Ji had arranged for Ji Chao and Ji Ze to have calligraphy, Go, and piano lessons as well as other skill-related courses.

Just thirty minutes ago, they had just finished their piano class.

When Ji Chao and Ji Ze heard the sound of Ji Muye’s car, they immediately rushed out to ask if they could go see their mom and sister tomorrow.

Ji Muye looked at their empty wrists and asked, “Where are your phone watches?”

Ji Chao quickly replied, “Teacher Chu said we need to focus during class and asked us to take off our watches to practice piano.”

As he was speaking, a woman emerged from inside the house.
