Chapter 288 Reunion

The man's face was weather-beaten and he looked a bit dishevelled, obviously having come here in a hurry from afar.

Although she had been away for two months, when Lu Ji stood in front of her, Qin Xiaoning felt as if she was in another world.

He was still as tall as a pine tree, with a terrifyingly powerful aura. His resolute face exuded a strong masculine energy, and he was naturally attractive to women.

"Lu Ji--" Qin Xiaoning stood up in surprise, her mind was blank. After calling his name softly, she just stood there blankly, staring at him.

Lu Ji stood at the entrance of the inner courtyard and looked at her steadily.

Shock, joy, and anger.

Lu Ji's expression is much richer than Qin Xiaoning's.

"Madam Lu, we don't know where this guy came from. He insisted on forcing his way in and even hit people." The two of them stared at each other in a stalemate until Brother Li ran in from outside with his cheek covered. Only then did Qin Xiaoning come back to her senses from her shock.

She waved to Brother Li and said, "You go out first."

Brother Li glanced at Lu Ji with an indignant look on his face. He wanted to argue with him, but the burning pain on his face made him give up the idea. He rolled his eyes at the other party, snorted, and turned away.

Qin Xiaoning walked forward and stopped at a distance from Lu Ji: "Why are you here?"

Her voice was trembling.

Seeing that the other party was just staring at her and didn't agree, Qin Xiaoning couldn't help but ask, "How did you find this place?"

After waiting for a long time, the man still didn't speak, so Qin Xiaoning simply shut up.

Lu Ji stared at her for a long time, and finally showed some reaction.

He walked forward a few steps and stopped in front of Qin Xiaoning. He lowered his eyes and looked at her carefully, then looked around the tidy courtyard, his sharp eyes sweeping over the faces of several confused maids one by one.

Just when Qin Xiaoning was feeling anxious and unsure, she heard him speak in a calm voice.

"I heard that your man died?"

A sentence without any reason, with a cold taste.

Qin Xiaoning didn't know how to face it, so she just lowered her head and said nothing. Then, he asked, "You also changed your name?"

Knowing the man's temper, he must be extremely angry at this moment. At this time, whatever she said would be wrong, so she simply kept silent.

Seeing this, Lu Ji just glanced at her lightly, and then continued to look around the courtyard. After looking at the yard, he walked into the main house.

Songzhi has not returned yet. The maids in the yard were all bought from Shuwang. Everyone knew that Qin Xiaoning's husband had passed away, so they were a little confused about this strange man who suddenly broke in.

"Young lady, who is this person?" After Lu Ji entered the room, Sister Wang couldn't help but come over and ask Qin Xiaoning quietly.

Qin Xiaoning stood on tiptoe and looked into the room, then whispered to Sister Wang, "You guys go to the side room first. If I don't call you, don't come out."

Knowing that the man had a bad temper, she was worried that he might hurt innocent people.

After several maids retreated suspiciously, Qin Xiaoning took a deep breath and pushed the door open to enter the main room.

The man was sitting on a chair and had poured himself some tea. His expression was relatively calm as he was drinking the tea.

Every time before a man gets angry, there is always a moment of unusual calm.

What would he do to her?

Kill her in a rage?

He certainly wouldn't be willing to do this.

Although her life was not in danger, he might slap her hard in anger.

To be honest, she was actually quite afraid of men. Qin Xiaoning stood at the door for a long time, and finally walked up to him. The man raised his eyes and looked at her, with undisguised anger in his deep eyes.

She cleared her throat and said to him, "You haven't eaten yet? Are you hungry? I'll go get you some food."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ji simply turned around and faced Qin Xiaoning, his eyes fixed straight on her face, making Qin Xiaoning feel nervous.

After a long while, the old man finally spoke: "Isn't your man dead? Why do you care whether he is hungry or not?"

Qin Xiaoning was choked by these words and lowered her head in depression.

There was another long stalemate, and she began to wipe away her tears intermittently. At first she just sobbed silently, and gradually she began to cry out loud with sobs.

Like he bullied her.

She left quietly without saying a word, causing him to be frightened for so many days. Now, she is the one who is wronged.

Qin Xiaoning cried while secretly observing the man's expression.

At first, he became even more angry, but after a while, he calmed down.

It can be seen that this trick still works.

She cried even harder, sobbing and crying until snot bubbles came out of her nose.

The man finally spoke after she cried: "You are crying for your dead man, right?"

His face was livid and his voice was frighteningly cold.

It seems that the situation cannot be reversed in a short period of time.

Qin Xiaoning wiped away her tears, blinked her tearful eyes and looked at Lu Ji, saying to him: "You know, I'm pregnant with your child."

By now Qin Xiaoning had understood from the surprise she had felt when she first saw Lu Ji.

Anyway, he has already found me, and there is no way to hide the fact that I am pregnant. I might as well admit it now and calm his anger as soon as possible. At least, he won't have the heart to blame me for the fact that I am pregnant.

Seeking benefits and avoiding harm is Qin Xiaoning's usual style when getting along with Lu Ji.

Sure enough, when Lu Ji heard this, his expression changed immediately.

Shock, joy, and a little bit of disbelief. In short, the anger on his face was temporarily dispelled by the other emotions.

Just don't get slapped or scolded by him.

Qin Xiaoning breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to sob even harder.

"I'm still pregnant with your child. Do you think I'm living a carefree life alone? How can you understand the hardships involved?"

While crying, she began to talk intermittently about her difficulties and criticized Lu Ji from time to time.

Put all the blame on men.

"When did this happen?" After a long while, Lu Ji finally recovered from his great shock. He looked at Qin Xiaoning's belly and asked, "Is she really pregnant?"

As he said this, he subconsciously stretched out his arms to hug the little woman, but Qin Xiaoning dodged his hug and turned her head away in a huff.

Lu Ji walked in front of her. She turned her head to the other side in anger. The man raised his hand and turned her face. He glared at her with his deep eyes and said solemnly, "Are you telling the truth?"

Can you lie about pregnancy?

Qin Xiaoning turned around and rolled her eyes at Lu Ji: "Believe it or not, it's up to you!"

Lu Ji was amused: "You are always cunning, who knows if you made up this lie to fool me in order to avoid punishment."
