Married to the Male Lead's Brother

Chapter 72

The next day, the sun shone on the balcony and the light breeze blew against the light colored curtains. The room was peaceful and comfortable.

When Ningzhi woke up, she saw that Lu Jue had already washed up and was changing his clothes.

He was holding a red floral shirt in his hands and was about to change into it.

Ningzhi hurriedly got up and walked over. She smiled and coaxed him. "You don't have to wear something so handsome to the office today."

Lu Jue looked at her blankly with his dark eyes.

Ningzhi picked out a red shirt from Lu Jue's wardrobe. The silk fabric was smooth and had a good texture.

Ning Zhi lied without blinking. "Wear this. You look so handsome in a flowery shirt. I'm worried that the people in the company will like you when they see you. What if they snatch you away? I'll be very sad."

Lu Jue's ears were a little red. His thin eyelids trembled slightly as he said firmly, "They can't snatch me away."

He looked at Ningzhi quickly. "Zhizhi, they can't snatch me away."

I'm Zhizhi, no one can snatch me away.

Ningzhi was amused by him. Lu Jue was way too sweet today.

"Wear this shirt then. Wear the one you're holding at home." Ningzhi winked at him. "Only wear it for me."

Lu Jue's lips curled up slightly, revealing shallow dimples. He nodded and repeated Ningzhi's words. "Only wear it for Zhizhi."

Ningzhi felt that Lu Jue was getting easier to coax. She couldn't help but pinch his face. "Work hard today. Text me if you need anything."

She had to go to school today and couldn't accompany Lu Jue to the office.

Lu Jue agreed. "Earn money and support Zhizhi."

He could support Zhizhi too.

Lu Jue didn't know that the dividends in his account every year were enough for Ningzhi to squander for the rest of her life.

After breakfast, Lu Jue's former assistant, Wei Xing, had already arrived at the Lu residence.

Wei Xing and Lu Jue were university classmates. Furthermore, he had studied psychology before and dealt with many autistic people. With him helping Lu Jue at the office, Mother Lu was relieved to see Lu Jue.

"Young Master Lu looks good today. You look energetic."

Wei Xing saw that Lu Jue was still wearing a red shirt. He wasn't surprised. "Miss Ning, good morning."

"Assistant Wei, good morning."

Ningzhi realized that Wei Xing liked to smile and was very infectious. Ningzhi kind of understood why Wei Xing became Lu Jue's assistant. She hoped that he could make Lu Jue more cheerful. "Please take care of Lu Jue."

"He's not a child. I don't need to take care of him," Lu Jue pursed his lips and said slowly.

He wasn't a child. He didn't need anyone to take care of him.

Ningzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Okay, I'll see you tonight." She helped Lu Jue straighten his collar.

Lu Jue's dark eyes looked at Ningzhi for a few seconds. He looked away, looked at her for a few seconds, and repeated it a few times.

If he couldn't see Zhizhi for a day, he had to look at her a few more times.

Before Lu Jue's illness worsened, he had worked in the company's artificial intelligence development laboratory for a period of time.

The people in the team were no strangers to him. When they knew that he was coming back to work, many of them were happy. Lu Jue was a man of few words and was very capable. With him around, the development of the entire team seemed to have turned on a cheat code.

"Master Lu Jue, your office has been renovated recently, so I'll have to trouble you to sit with us for the time being," Wei Xing said to Lu Jue.

"Okay." Lu Jue looked cold. When he didn't speak, he looked very aloof.

It wasn't Lu Jue's first time working here. The people in the team were all familiar with him. They all came over to greet him.

A young man in a blue shirt was the first to come forward. "Young Master Lu, welcome back."

"We really missed you when you left the team." A slightly plump young man wearing glasses squeezed over.

"Master Jue, I'm very happy to be able to work with you again."

A short and shy boy looked excited. "Since you're back, don't leave. We've been working on a new project recently."
