The Naive Mr. Lu

What Ji Jinge muttered seemingly unintentionally made Lu Dingning, who was drinking milk, freeze his hand.

Then, even the two who were arguing endlessly stopped.

Will stared at Ji Jinge with a strange expression, but didn't say anything.

It was Bernard who smiled and said, "Young Master Ji, how could you not have seen it? She just..."

Isn't it the Dylan in front of you.

Bernard wanted to tell Ji Jinge this.

But before he finished speaking, Lu Dingning suddenly interrupted him: "Bernar!"

"Dylan?" Lu Dingning said, causing Bernard's attention to fall on her.

Because he was too familiar, after looking at Lu Dingning's charming phoenix eyes for a while, he understood what Lu Dingning meant.

Lu Dingning didn't want Ji Jinge to know that she was the stepson of the Smith family.

Because of this, Bernard shut his mouth wisely.

"What did you say about her just now?" Ji Jinge with a dazed face, who didn't know what kind of charade the two of them played, was still asking Bernard.

"It's nothing. That... I forgot what I was going to say just now!" Bernard found a very lame reason.

But Ji Jinge still seemed unwilling to let him go.

When Bernard was thinking hard about how to divert Ji Jinge's attention, Amis came over.

"Master Will, Young Master Zong is here to find you."

Amis said this to Will as soon as he came over.

It's just these words that not only made Lu Dingning frown beautifully, but also diverted the attention of Ji Jinge who was busy asking Bernard just now: "Young Master Zong? A Ze?"

Ji Jinge looked at Lu Dingning hastily, as if he wanted to find a different answer from her face.

But the frown that Lu Dingning frowned was like affirming what he thought in disguise.

And such an answer only aggravated Ji Jinge's uneasiness.

About five minutes later, Amis brought Zong Jize over.

Zong Jize was also a little surprised by Ji Jinge who appeared in the Smith Manor.

But soon, Zong Jize adjusted his mentality, greeted several people present, and sat down on the seat opposite Lu Dingning.

There is a lot of breakfast prepared at the kotatsu table.

After Zong Jize took his seat, he ate on his own.

During the whole process, he and Lu Dingning had no dialogue at all.

This also makes this scene seem unbelievable.

But this is Zong Jize's current strategy.

He felt that he had done a lot of stupid things recently, so he had to perform well in front of Lu Dingning.

The first step to win Lu Dingning's understanding, of course, is to spend enough time with her.

Therefore, before leaving for Smith Manor today, Zong Jize made preparations to spend the whole day with Lu Dingning.

Moreover, Zong Jize also knew that the first prerequisite for being able to spend the whole day by Lu Dingning's side was - to have a thick skin!

Therefore, no matter how strange the people around him looked at Zong Jize, Zong Jize ignored him and just ate and occasionally looked up at Lu Dingning.

Lu Dingning also seemed a little surprised by Zong Jize's performance today.

However, her pair of beautiful phoenix eyes only stared at him a few times. Then, she continued to drink her milk.

A lot of food was placed in front of her, but Lu Dingning was only drinking milk.

It can be said that this is how Lu Dingning came here these days.

I don't know if it's because of the injuries on her body or because she suddenly returned to country F and couldn't adapt, but she ate very little.

The people around her have nothing to do with her. Even Shu Zhilan didn't dare to force her. The best Will could do was try to find her favorite places to eat and see if she could eat more.

Only Zong Jize directly put some of the meat sauce that he ate just now and thought it was good, into the empty plate in front of Lu Dingning.

This move shocked everyone except Ji Jinge.

Because these people all know how outrageous their stepson's cleanliness is. Moreover, she very much dislikes being touched by her tableware.

Therefore, Zong Jize's action just now not only made those people at the dining table sweat for her, but even the servants who were standing on the table and serving him looked at him anxiously, as if they were afraid of him. It angered the stepson, and then implicated the posture of their group.

As for why Ji Jinge wasn't like those people around him, it wasn't because when he was in country Z, he would take the initiative to take on the job of preparing dishes for Lu Dingning when he saw Zong Jize and Lu Dingning dining together.

But in fact, Ji Jinge was particularly shocked when he saw that scene for the first time.

However, human endurance needs to be exercised. Just like Ji Jinge, you will be shocked the first time you see it, and you may feel awkward the second time and the third time. But then it will turn a blind eye like it is now.

And right now, everyone's most nervous was what the stepson would do with the roux that appeared on her plate.

Did he slap the plate on Zong Jize's face, or did he sweep everything on the table to the ground in a fit of rage?

For some reason, everyone felt that Lu Dingning might do the two together.

But when people waited with bated breath for the storm, Lu Dingning did something that no one expected.

Glancing at the meat sauce on the plate, Lu Dingning was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Zong Jize.

The latter was eating the same meat sauce that he put on Lu Dingning's plate, eating with relish.

Not knowing if he was bewitched, when Lu Dingning's gaze fell back to the plate of meat sauce again, he took a spoon from the side, took a spoonful, and put it into his mouth.

The taste seemed to be good, Lu Dingning ate two more mouthfuls...

Perhaps for others, eating two bites of meat sauce is nothing new.

But for the group of people around Lu Dingning, this is even more shocking than sparks hitting the earth.

Not to mention, after returning to China, Lu Dingning's appetite has been poor. Zong Jize hastily put food on her plate, and she didn't put the plate on her head, which is already novel enough...

Zong Jize, who successfully fed Lu Dingning, put fried eggs and ham slices on her plate one after another.

The strange thing is that Lu Dingning ate it all.

Until Lu Dingning finished eating everything on the plate, and gracefully took the towel handed by the servant to wipe the corners of his mouth, the other people at the table were still a little bit stunned.

"Bernard, get ready. Let's go to the racecourse in a while!"

This is what Lu Dingning said to Bernard after eating and tidying himself up.

But it was obvious that Bernard hadn't recovered from the surprise that she ate the food Zong Jize fed just now.

"Did you hear everything I said?" Bernard didn't come back to himself until he heard Lu Dingning's slightly displeased rhetorical question again.

"I heard..." Seeing her get up, Bernard hurriedly followed her.
