Chapter 5 : A Woman Like Lu Zhen'en
"Big sister, what's wrong with you?" Lu Keke looked at the tears shimmering in Lu Jin Yi's eyes, feeling a bit puzzled. She reached out her soft little hand and wiped the corners of Lu Jin Yi's eyes.
This action almost made Lu Jin Yi lose control of her emotions.
She had finally managed to control her overwhelming longing, and she forced a smile, saying, "Keke, to thank you, big sister will take you to the café downstairs for some cake, okay?"
Lu Keke blinked her big, sparkling eyes and seemed to confirm that Lu Jin Yi wasn't a bad person, so she nodded.
She instantly felt relieved...
Inside the café, the air was filled with the sickly sweet smell of desserts, which made Lu Jin Yi a bit nauseous.
However, as she watched the adorable little girl in front of her eating the cake in small bites, Lu Jin Yi felt that the smell of the air wasn't as unbearable anymore.
"Big sister, are you also working in the company with Daddy?" Lu Keke blinked her round eyes, her mouth still holding a small spoon, melting Lu Jin Yi's heart.
After a moment of thought, Lu Jin Yi couldn't help but smile and replied, "Yes."
"Big sister, my Daddy is very powerful! He is the big boss of that huge company we just passed by, and Daddy can even perform magic tricks for me!"
Watching the little girl in front of her, with her hair tied up in pigtails, enthusiastically describing her father's abilities, Lu Jin Yi smiled bitterly.
"Of course, big sister knows."
After struggling for a while, Lu Jin Yi finally gathered the courage to ask, "Keke, whenever you mention Daddy, does Keke have a mommy?"
As soon as she mentioned mommy, Lu Keke's expression seemed to stiffen for a moment. After a long pause, she placed the small spoon on the empty cake plate.
"Yes..."
Yes?! Lu Jin Yi was taken aback. In the years she was away, had Lu Zhen Huai already married another woman? Wasn't he... still in love with Lu Zhen'en?
Lu Keke bit her lip, and a hint of uncertainty flickered in her round eyes. "Actually... everyone says Keke has a mommy..."
What does that mean?
Lu Jin Yi wanted to continue questioning, but Lu Keke had already climbed down from her chair using both hands and feet. "Big sister, I'm full. Let's go back together after I buy coffee for Daddy. I really like you!"
Lu Jin Yi nodded, showing a knowing smile.
Following this sweet little girl, who was as adorable as a strawberry cake, into the lobby of the Winnie Company, Lu Jin Yi's gaze never left her.
Taking the elevator, they arrived on the thirteenth floor. As the elevator doors opened with a ding, Lu Jin Yi's pupils contracted.
She only heard Lu Keke sweetly exclaim, "Daddy!"
Lu Zhen Huai's gaze softened when he saw Lu Keke, but it turned astonished when he saw Lu Jin Yi.
This woman's eyes were so similar to Lu Jin Yi's! Lu Zhen Huai stiffened for a moment, then bent down to pick up Lu Keke.
Although Lu Jin Yi knew that she had undergone plastic surgery and the chances of Lu Zhen Huai recognizing her were slim, she still felt uneasy in front of him.
She was about to speak when a gentle and tender female voice interrupted her, "Zhen Huai, I came to see Keke!"
The voice was too familiar. Unable to resist, Lu Jin Yi turned her head to look, and was instantly shocked.
How was this possible?! This woman, how could she look exactly like Lu Zhen'en!
