Chapter 246 Find a Girlfriend?
Master Lu showed no intention of wanting to carry on with Mu Xianyong. He did not even bat an eye at
him.
While Master Lu was slowly progressing towards the exit, Mu Xianyong suddenly sniggered sinisterly,
“If you don’t stop them, you will find out the consequences soon.”
But he was soliloquizing. Master Lu had vanished from his line of sight by now.
Lu Yunxi was anxiously pacing the manor’s house when Master Lu arrived at the Lu’s Manor.
Seeing Master Lu at the gate, Lu Yunxi strode towards him and said, “I’m worried about you. I thought
you’re lost.”
Master Lu glared at Lu Yunxi and uttered an exasperated snort, “How could I possibly be lost?”
Then, he brushed past Lu Yunxi and headed into the house with a contemptuous expression.
On the other hand, Mu Xiaomu held a handful of fresh flowers and skipped towards Master Lu with a
dazzling smile from afar, “Grandpa, look what I found. Are the flowers beautiful?”
Master Lu’s scrunched forehead instantly evened out as delight flooded his stern face.
He grabbed Mu Xiaomu into his embrace and said, “Good girl, they’re beautiful.”
“Grandpa, your house is so big, and there are so many flowers in the garden. I could bring flowers to
your room every day in the future.”
Mu Xiaomu giggled at Master Lu adorably.
Master Lu’s smile extended from ear to ear. His eyes were brimming with bliss when he looked at Mu
Xiaomu.
Meanwhile, Lu Yunxi could not help but feel like he was redundant. He said to Master Lu, “Okay now.
Since you’re home, I shall get going.”
Master Lu raised his head to glance at Lu Yunxi before reverting his attention to Mu Xiaomu, then
responded, “Stay for now. I’ve arranged some blind dates for you.”
“Pops!”
Astonishment broke out on Lu Yunxi’s face. He went through a flurry of expression changes and
mumbled, “Don’t you think I’m still young? It’s too early to get a blind date.”
“What do you mean young? You’re twenty-seven!”
“That is young.”

Lu Yunxi was not buying into any of Master Lu’s arguments and stood his ground.
However, as soon as he finished his words, Master Lu said under his breath, “The manor is too big, it’s
too quiet around here.”
In between his words, he slowly staggered to his feet, grabbed Mu Xiaomu’s hand, headed to the
window, and threw his gaze outside the window. “It’s just the same few faces every day.”
“Madam Zhang, Madam Liu, and the butler. Isn’t that enough? If you count in the maids, footmen, and
the chefs working at the manor, there are more than thirty different faces.”
“I can always recruit more if that’s what you want?”
Lu Yunxi frowned at the thought that it was the first time Master Lu seemed to be asking him for a favor.
He was not used to the way Master Lu behaved.
To his surprise, Master Lu said gruffly, “Do you think these outsiders are what I need? I need family!”
Lu Yunxi almost burst into a fit of chortle at the sound of the word ‘family’.
“So, are you looking for more girlfriends at your age?”
All this while, Mu Xiaomu was standing at the side bouncing her gaze back and forth between Lu Yunxi
and Master Lu during their word exchange. Then, she finally spoke up in her little girl’s voice, “Uncle,
grandpa wants a family at home. He wants dad, mom, uncle, aunty, Xiaomu, and little brothers and
sisters.”
Mu Xiaomu was breathtakingly adorable with the way she widened her watery eyes at Lu Yunxi. His
heart instantly melted when he looked down at her.
He gradually walked towards her, bent forward, and lifted her off the floor. With Mu Xiaomu in his arms,
he said to Master Lu, “I suppose you understand the situation in Leiming’s household. Although Jinye
seems to have turned the ordeal around after stepping in, it might not be as perfect as how it appears
to be. We know that broken relationships are hard to mend. As for Jinye, he was brought up as the
successor to your business, so…”
Lu Yunxi did not let the remaining words slip his tongue.
Because they were too brutal.
Master Lu waggled his hand at Lu Yunxi. He was letting his frustrations show when he glared at Lu
Yunxi, “Enough, enough. Go! I don’t want to see you anymore!”
Lu Yunxi pursed his lips in retaliation.
He hesitated briefly before heaving a sigh, thinking that it wouldn’t do any good to continue butting
heads with Master Lu.
Thus, he turned around and left hastily.
Once Lu Yunxi had gone, Master Lu’s seemingly straightened back sluggishly slumped into a hunch.
He shut the windows and sat on the couch quietly. After some moments, he waved at Mu Xiaomu,
beckoning her to come over. Eyeing down at her, he asked, “Do you enjoy being with grandpa?”
Mu Xiaomu stared at Master Lu, “I do. But I kind of miss mommy now. Grandpa, can we attend mommy
and daddy’s wedding?”
Mu Xiaomu blinked her adorable eyes and asked seriously.
Master Lu laughed lightly, “Of course we can. We are mommy and daddy’s family.”
“Then… Grandpa, can we ask them about the wedding preparation?”
Mu Xiaomu was just looking for an excuse to see Mu Zhi.
Master Lu let out a sigh and rose to his feet, saying to the butler, “Take Mu Xiaomu home.”
Following his order, he did not remain in the lounge area. He gradually staggered to the stairs, held the
handrail, and trudged upstairs one step at a time, disappearing from Mu Xiaomu’s line of sight when he
entered his bedroom in a desolate fashion.
Meanwhile, after sending out all the wedding invitations, Lu Jinye headed for work while Mu Zhi went to
the hospital for Jian Xiaoning to discuss the wedding.
She had just arrived at the hospital when she received the butler’s call.
“Hello, sir.”
Mu Zhi greeted with a curious frown.
The butler said in a gentle voice, “Madam, I need to send Young Lady Xiaomu to you. May I know
where you are now?”
Mu Zhi answered without thinking twice, “At the hospital.”
“Sure, see you at the hospital with Mu Xiaomu.”
“Alright, sure.”
Mu Zhi replied before hanging up the call.
Why is he sending Mu Xiaomu here? The question just occurred to Mu Zhi once the call had ended.
Isn’t she having fun at the manor?
After around half an hour, Mu Xiaomu was brought to Mu Zhi safely.
Mu Zhi looked at the butler as she asked reluctantly, “Why is Mu Xiaomu being sent home?”
“Nothing much, Young Lady Xiaomu requested it.” Said the butler chivalrously.
Then, the butler showed no intention of wanting to stay. He bade Mu Zhi farewell and left for the manor
to report to Master Lu.
Mu Zhi became even more intrigued when the butler was gone.
“Xiaomu, why did you want to come home all of a sudden?”
“It’s not fun at grandpa’s.” Responded Mu Xiaomu while fixing her eyes at the toy in her hands.
“Why isn’t it fun? Doesn’t grandpa have a big house?” Asked Mu Zhi.

Mu Xiaomu suddenly raised her head to look at Mu Zhi, “Mommy, grandpa told Uncle Yunxi to look for
a girlfriend today. I think he is lonely.”
“Should we find grandpa a girlfriend too?”
“Hey!”
