Chapter 21
Sister Looks Like a Cat
“You!”
Lu Qing choked and was momentarily unable to refute.
Shen Yunci turned around and looked at Lu Zhi. She could not help but cover her mouth and laugh in joy.
She spoke with Lu Zhi in a low voice, “I thought our Little Ning was too soft, that she would end up being bullied in the future. But it seems our Little Ning is no pushover and she isn’t someone to be messed with. That’s how it should be! We don’t cause trouble, but we won’t suffer in silence either!”
Lu Zhi also smiled and nodded. He had an indescribable fondness for his daughter.
Lu Jingzhi looked at the way Lu Ning rebuked Lu Qing as if he was looking at a cat brandishing its claws.
“Sister looks like a cat.”
He was sitting between Lu Zhi and Shen Yunci, so he could hear their conversation clearly. The both of them also heard what Lu Jingzhi said.
Thinking about it carefully, it was true.
Cats look cold and aloof, but they are actually very docile and cute. However, if they were to meet with any trouble they would bare their sharp claws, and it would sting for a long time if one was scratched by a cat.
Hence, Lu Qing could not complain if he had been scratched.
Shen Yunci was overjoyed to see this. Her son was usually thoughtful and mild-mannered, but something had happened in her family after all. Furthermore, he had watched Lù Yue’an grow up and truly doted on her—Shen Yunci could understand why he was unable to accept this.
However, she did not expect him to become like this because of Lù Yue’an. He had always been obedient, but now, because of Lù Yue’an he would talk back to them and even deride his sister who had just arrived. Shen Yunci wished she could throw him out.
Previously, she was worried Lu Ning would choose to suffer in silence. Now, it seemed uncertain who would be the one suffering.

Lù Yue’an stole a glance at them. There was one who was overjoyed, and there was one who was disgruntled. Despite this, it still looked surprisingly harmonious.
She could not help but clench her fists.

When the family left the park it was already evening. The sky was dimming, and Lu Jingzhi was so tired that he fell asleep leaning on Lu Ning.
Lu Zhi had wanted to carry him, but Lu Ning did not want to wake Lu Jingzhi up, so she kept holding him.
Previously, at the Lù household she was a young lady who had servants to carry everything for her, so Shen Yunci was a little worried about her carrying a five-year-old child. Lu Jingzhi might not be heavy, but he was nevertheless a burden; anybody would be tired if they had to carry him all this way.
Back when Lu Jingzhi was three, her own back would ache after having carried him. Now, he was two years older, and Lu Ning had never carried him before; she wondered how sore her body would be tomorrow.
“Why don’t we wake our Little Darling up? I’m worried that Little Ning’s body will be so sore she won’t be able to sleep tonight.”
Lu Zhi looked at Lu Ning. “Little Ning looks pretty relaxed to me, though.”
Shen Yunci also found it strange. Normally, she would express discomfort on her face even if she tried to hold it in, but Lu Ning still seemed to be at ease, as if she was not carrying a young boy, but a balloon.
As the two of them were thinking about this, Lu Ning spotted the bus that was about to leave and jogged over.
She was right in front, simply wanting to catch up with this bus as quickly as possible.
She could not help but mutter inwardly:
This month of special training was truly not in vain; my stamina’s improved, and I’m even running faster.
She bounded onto the bus, and did not forget to turn around and call for them, “Dad, Mom, hurry up.”
Then, she headed in first.
Shen Yunci and Lu Zhi were taken aback. “Has our daughter been… possessed by Superman?”
