Married to the Male Lead's Brother
Chapter 17
Huo Xiaoyue watched in astonishment as Ningzhi approached Lu Jue. She even saw Ningzhi's lips touch Lu Jue's ear.
Lu Jue didn't reject her, nor did he avoid her!
Just as Mother Lu had said, Lu Jue only allowed Ningzhi to get close to him.
Huo Xiaoyue had been paying attention to Lu Jue since elementary school. She clearly knew how much Lu Jue disliked other people's touch.
He didn't talk to anyone and didn't have any friends.
Until the end of high school, she had thought that Lu Jue would be alone in the future.
That he would be alone and quiet for the rest of his life.
If that incident hadn't happened, she wouldn't have gone abroad. She would have fought to marry Lu Jue. After all, she wouldn't be able to find someone as good-looking as Lu Jue.
But now, not only was Lu Jue married, but it seemed like they were getting along quite well?
Huo Xiaoyue couldn't help but be shocked.
The tip of his ear was warm and a little itchy. Lu Jue's lowered eyelids trembled slightly, and his long eyelashes fluttered.
Ningzhi didn't get a response. She snorted softly in his ear and patted his shoulder. Seven little suns rushed towards her happily. In the blink of an eye, she had put them away.
Lu Jue didn't even look at Huo Xiaoyue. His voice was low and hoarse. "You don't know me."
I don't know you.
"You don't know me?"
Ning Zhi's displeasure, which was still stuck in her chest a second ago, disappeared in an instant. She looked at Huo Xiaoyue. The other party was like a bag of explosives that had been ignited. Her face was full of anger.
"Although your name is Lu Jue, you don't have to be so heartless. I've been your classmate since we were kids. How can you not know me?" Huo Xiaoyue wanted to go up and shake Lu Jue's head. Why didn't he remember her?
Even if he didn't like her, all these years of being classmates were wasted.
Seeing that Huo Xiaoyue's face was red with anger, Ningzhi suppressed her smile and said, "I'm sorry. You know that Lu Jue's situation is special. Please don't take it to heart. I'm very grateful that you came to visit him today."
Huo Xiaoyue questioned Ningzhi. "Are you secretly gloating?"
Ningzhi pursed her lips. "I don't understand what you're talking about, Miss Huo."
No matter how Huo Xiaoyue looked at Ningzhi, she didn't find her pleasing to the eye. She felt that Ningzhi was only good-looking and didn't match up to Lu Jue at all. "Even if you can get close to Lu Jue and touch Lu Jue, it doesn't mean anything. It's not like he likes you."
Autistic people lacked the ability to recognize emotions. They would even ignore and treat their parents coldly, let alone other people.
Huo Xiaoyue didn't think that Lu Jue would like Ningzhi.
"You don't have to worry about whether he likes me or not," Ningzhi replied unhurriedly. "In any case, Lu Jue definitely doesn't like you."
Huo Xiaoyue puffed up her face angrily. "Why are you so annoying?"
Ningzhi's tone was light as she continued to stab Huo Xiaoyue. "Lu Jue just likes to listen to me talk."
The next second, she heard Huo Xiaoyue say angrily, "My brother saved Lu Jue's life before."
Ningzhi was stunned. Huo Xiaoyue's brother saved Lu Jue before?
Huo Xiaoyue regretted it as soon as she finished speaking. She was annoyed and blamed herself for being nosy.
"Your brother saved Lu Jue before too?" Ningzhi wanted to know what was going on. Mother Lu didn't seem to have mentioned it just now.
"You don't need to know the details. It's none of your business." Huo Xiaoyue didn't want to say anything more. She glanced at Lu Jue again. "I'm leaving."
Huo Xiaoyue walked out dejectedly.
After watching Huo Xiaoyue leave, Ningzhi lowered her head and asked Lu Jue, "You really don't know Huo Xiaoyue?"
Lu Jue looked up at her, his peach blossom eyes filled with confusion. "Who?"
Ningzhi smiled and continued to ask, "Huo Xiaoyue's brother saved you before?"
