Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg

Chapter 1128: Not Returning to Xu City

Moreover, he is Jiang Xue’s older brother, and his home is also Jiang Xue’s home. Now, Mu Qiancheng is not here, so why shouldn’t she go back to her own home?

"Brother, you should know I came here because Qian Cheng was here. Now that he’s gone to the south, and I don’t know when he’ll be back, I have a lot to do in Xu City."

"Xue’er, even if Qian Cheng isn’t here, isn’t your brother here?" Lu Jintian persuaded. He was hoping Jiang Xue would stay longer so they could develop some sibling bonding.

Besides, he had mentioned before that he wanted to take Jiang Xue around for some fun. Today, he came over specifically to discuss this with Jiang Xue, having arranged everything at work and giving himself a vacation.

But what he didn’t expect was for Jiang Xue to want to go back to Xu City. How could that be? He hadn’t even had the chance to be a proper host yet.

"Brother, I know you’re here, but don’t you have to work? Your company has so much going on, I can’t keep taking up your time, right?"

"Xue’er, I was just about to tell you. I’ve taken a week off to accompany you and Little Reunion properly. Last time, I said I’d take you around, and you wouldn’t want to make me break my promise, would you?"

Jiang Xue was taken aback, staring blankly at Lu Jintian, unable to believe he was serious. He had indeed arranged everything and truly intended to take her out.

After a moment, Jiang Xue snapped back and smiled at Lu Jintian, saying, "Brother, thank you!"

"Thank you for what? I’m your brother, no need to be polite with me." Lu Jintian waved his hand and said, "I didn’t find you before, so I couldn’t fulfill my duties as a brother. Now that I’ve found you, you have to let this brother perform, don’t you?"

What Lu Jintian said made Jiang Xue laugh out loud, saying, "Okay, since that’s what brother expects, how can I not oblige?"

"Xue’er, are you agreeing not to return to Xu City?"

"Brother, I will definitely go back to Xu City, just not now. I have to let you show off first before going back."

"Alright, it’s settled then. It’s getting late, you should rest early. I’ll come to pick you up first thing tomorrow and take you around Beijing, how about that?"

"Sure, I’ll be waiting for you, brother." Jiang Xue replied with a smile.

Lu Jintian left with a smile, particularly delighted at the thought of taking Jiang Xue around tomorrow. The feeling of finally having a sister made him somewhat excited. He couldn’t wait to tell his friends, but he had to restrain himself.

He worried that Jiang Xue would be unhappy, so he decided to discuss it with her first, and then introduce her to his friends.

At the very least, he wanted to let his friends know he had a sister. Also, after they met, he could ask his friends to look after Jiang Xue in the future.

After Lu Jintian returned to his place, he called Lu Zheng, explaining that he had taken a week off to take Jiang Xue around Beijing properly.

Upon hearing Lu Jintian’s words, Lu Zheng agreed, saying, "Ah Jin, you’re doing the right thing. You’re her brother, and you must treat Jiang Xue well—better than well."

"Foster father, don’t worry, I understand." Lu Jintian hung up the phone, then went into the study to continue working.

He worked late into the night before resting. Had he not had to pick up Jiang Xue and Little Reunion early the next morning, Lu Jintian might have worked even later.
