Married to the Male Lead's Brother
Chapter 33
The Huo family's resort was in D City next door.
In the car, Ningzhi was drowsy. She had woken up too early today, so she was still a little sleepy.
She leaned back in the car seat, her whole body lazy and soft. She didn't want to move at all.
On the other hand, Lu Jue was sitting upright beside her. He always sat up straight, stiff and serious.
Ning Zhi lowered his head and glanced at his two long legs that had nowhere to put them. She saw the new socks that she had just given him under his pants. The red background was full of dog head patterns.
He had actually put on the new socks secretly.
On the other hand, Lu Jue's handsome face was expressionless. He looked cool, and it didn't match his bright red socks at all.
She couldn't help laughing.
Lu Jue turned to look at her, his eyes blank.
Lu Jue had improved a lot compared to before. Now, he could react when he heard Ningzhi's laughter.
It wasn't like before, when Ningzhi said a few words to him and he would only respond or ignore her.
Ningzhi's eyes curved into crescents as she smiled. "Why are you so cute?"
Lu Jue looked at her and didn't respond.
"I'm a little sleepy. Let me lean on you."
With that said, Ningzhi leaned directly on Lu Jue's shoulder, not giving Lu Jue a chance to react at all.
Lu Jue's shoulders were broad and strong. The firm and hard feeling was completely different from hers.
Ningzhi pinched the muscles on his arm. "You're sitting too high. It's not comfortable for me to lean on you."
Lu Jue blinked and bent his tall and straight back a little.
Ningzhi adjusted her position and closed her eyes comfortably.
Lu Jue didn't dare to move. He maintained the same position the whole way.
The resort was a property of the Huo family. The Huo family's hotels were all over the country and were very famous.
Huo Xiaoyue knew that her high school classmates missed her so much, so she generously promised to cover all the expenses of this gathering, including food, drinks, entertainment, and accommodation.
The other students arrived at the hotel lobby one after another. Huo Xiaoyue was already there. She asked someone to arrange a private room for lunch.
Quite a number of people surrounded her. "Xiao Yue, we haven't seen each other in a few years after the college entrance examination. You've become even more beautiful."
"Are you going to stay here for a long time?
Or continue to study abroad? "
"Xiao Yue, if it wasn't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have the chance to stay in this hotel."
Huo Xiaoyue lifted her chin slightly when she heard everyone's praises. Her face was still full of arrogance. "It's nothing. If you like it, you can stay here for a few more days. Just mention my name."
Beside her, a woman with curly hair, heavy makeup, and wearing a red floral dress pushed aside the people around Huo Xiaoyue. She fought to sit beside Huo Xiaoyue with a flattering smile on her face.
"Xiao Yue, you've been abroad for so many years. I miss you so much. Unfortunately, you changed your phone number and I couldn't contact you."
The woman with heavy makeup, who was Li Li, quickly took out her phone. "What's your phone number now?
Let me add you. We can go shopping together when we're free. Just like before, I'll accompany you no matter what you want to do. "
The people around her secretly scolded her for being thick-skinned and seizing the opportunity to climb up the social ladder.
Huo Xiaoyue lifted her chin. "I lost my phone."
Everyone saw the brand new phone on the table. It was obvious that she didn't want to contact Li Li.
Li Li seemed to be used to the awkwardness. She continued, "Why don't we add each other on WeChat?"
Huo Xiaoyue didn't give her any face. "I don't use WeChat."
Everyone remembered that they had received a message in the WeChat group that morning about the private room number.
Li Li tucked her hair behind her ear and smiled. "We haven't seen each other for so long. We've become distant."
