Married to the Male Lead's Brother Chapter 144

Chapter 144 – It'd seem that Li Tiantian's intelligence disappeared along with the halo. (3)

The banquet had already started a while ago and Mother Lu was ready to cut the cake. Many guests were standing around her.

Lin Tiantian finally changed into her silver gown. The dress was a bit on the loose side and she had been very quiet since she walked out of the rest area.

And now, she heard chattering noises around her.

Lin Tiantian looked up and saw Ning Zhi in her aqua blue gown with Lu Jue, in his red suit, walking next to her.

The two's attractive appearances attracted a lot of attention.

Lin Tiantian tried to suppress her worries. She was very careful when it came to Han Qiu and left no evidence behind. She even paid her through a third party in cash. There was no paper trail there.

Lin Tiantian let out a sigh of relief when she thought about that.

Lin Tiantian looked back over at Ning Zhi, especially her upper body. Lin Tiantian took a few looks at her. That prominent curve made Lin Tiantian grit her teeth.

“How come Xiao Jue's face is so red?” Mother Lu saw Ning Zhi showing up holding Lu Jue's hand and smiled.

Ning Zhi told Mother Lu. “Something happened. I'll fill you in after the banquet.”

Having said that, she looked over at Lin Tiantian. She saw that Lin Tiantian was pale. There was panic in her eyes but she tried to appear calm.

It seemed that Lin Tiantian's intelligence had disappeared along with the halo.

Lu Jue stood next to Ning Zhi, pressing himself against her, when the cake was cut.

His body was still burning and he siphoned the coolness off of Ning Zhi greedily. His hand, down by his side, wanted to hold Ning Zhi's.

All of Ning Zhi's attention was on Mother Lu and the cake and she did not notice the desire of Lu Jue, who was standing next to her.

His eyes were lowered and he was looking at Ning Zhi's hand. Her fair and slender fingers touching her gown slightly and was white like jade.

Lu Jue didn't understand what pretty was but he liked her hand.

He tried to reach out and touched the back of Ning Zhi's hand, almost cautiously.

Feeling the sensation on her hand, Ning Zhi turned around. She saw Lu Jue's eyes lowered and his eyelashes trembling. The tips of his ears seemed to be a bit red under the light.

Ning Zhi held his hand, leaned into his ear, and asked with a smile, “You want some cake?”

Lu Jue, his lips pinched shut, nodded slightly. There was a hint of docileness between his eyes and brows.

On the other side, Lin Tiantian kept her head lowered and appeared to be very quiet. Lu Shenyuan, standing next to her, had a complicated look on him. With all of the guests' attention on Lu Jue and Ning Zhi, nobody noticed that strange look on Lu Shenyuan.

The happiest person there was Mother Lu. Even though she was sick just a little while ago and still had a weary look on her, but her younger son being there at her birthday party, celebrating with her, even if he only kept his head lowered and didn't saying any congratulatory words, it was still a big improvement.

Ever since Lu Jue was a child, Mother Lu had arranged for him to go to kindergarten, grade school, middle school, high school, and university like other kids his age. Even with his marriage, she had always wanted him to live a normal life just like everyone else.

Mother Lu had the same birthday wish every year: She wished for her Xiao Jue to live a peaceful and happy life.

The moment that Mother Lu blew out the candles and under the faint light, Ning Zhi saw the glistening around the corners of her eyes.

Holding Lu Jue's hand tightly, Ning Zhi had an idea what Mother Lu's wish was.

After the cake part, Lin Tiantian suddenly said that she wasn't feeling well and want to take off early.

Lu Shenyuan didn't say much other than telling her to rest up.

“Hang on a second.” Ning Zhi stopped Lin Tiantian from leaving.
