Chapter 1222 - 1223: Lu Yaobing in a Daze
Lu Yaobing ate while chattering to her mother about her performance yesterday, mentioning how Song Xiaodong praised her and such.
She was a smart girl and knew very well what her parents wanted to see by coming here so early in the morning. By saying this, she was putting her parents' worries to rest.
Lin Yuan and Song Xiaodong were chatting on the side, listening to the words of their daughter. At this point, he felt quite reassured. If Song Xiaodong and his daughter spent the whole night in the same room doing just this, then there was nothing to worry about.
After sitting there for more than ten minutes, Lu Yuan and Zheng Yue'e left together.
Lu Yaobing stuck out her tongue at Song Xiaodong and said, "Master, don't blame my parents, okay? I'm a girl, and my parents are naturally afraid I'll do something irrational."
"Hmph, I think what you did was irrational." Song Xiaodong glared at Lu Yaobing.
Lu Yaobing's face immediately turned red, and then she grabbed Song Xiaodong's arm and gently shook it, coaxing, "Master, I'm not a bad girl, just a bit naughty in front of you."
"Alright, alright, I know." Song Xiaodong couldn't handle Lu Yaobing's coaxing and said, "Hurry up and pack up, today I'll take you back to the Minghe."
"Huh?" Lu Yaobing's eyes widened instantly. "Master, you're taking me back to Minghe?"
"Yes, you are officially my disciple now, so I naturally have to take you back. Our Su Family should have a formal apprenticeship ceremony. At the very least, I need to make sure everyone in the Su Family knows you are my disciple."
"Great, great." Lu Yaobing jumped up in surprise and then hurriedly went to pack her things.
Sitting in Song Xiaodong's car, hearing that they were about to reach the Su Family, Lu Yaobing seemed a little nervous and said, "Master, will the master's wives not like me?"
"They won't, they are not more than two years older than you." Song Xiaodong hadn't said it completely. Counting Zhong Chuling and Lin Shu, their ages were really close to hers.
Lu Yaobing intertwined her fingers and twisted them forcefully, saying, "Oh, but I'm really a bit nervous."
Song Xiaodong extended his hand, and Lu Yaobing immediately grabbed it. Song Xiaodong squeezed her hand and said, "There's nothing to be nervous about. Everyone will be happy that I've taken in a good disciple."
Lu Yaobing smiled, but the sense of nervousness apparently hadn't disappeared.
Song Xiaodong didn't try to persuade her further; anyway, once they reached the Su Family, Lu Yaobing would realize there was no need to be nervous at all.
When Song Xiaodong stopped the car, Lu Yaobing looked at the row of luxury cars in the parking lot and couldn't help but grin, saying, "Master, the people living here are really wealthy. There isn't a single car worth less than a million."
Song Xiaodong chuckled and said, "If you like any of them, just say so and drive it away."
"They aren't all yours, are they?" Lu Yaobing's eyes widened instantly.
"They should be considered Su Family's."
"Su Family... you are the Family Head, so aren't they yours... Ah, are you saying this place... is all owned by the Su Family?" Lu Yaobing looked around with wide eyes and exclaimed in astonishment.
Song Xiaodong nodded and said, "That's right! Alright, don't make such a fuss, it makes my disciple seem so inexperienced."
"Ah! Yes, I cannot embarrass Master." Lu Yaobing puffed out her chest, but looking at this vast boundaryless yard, she couldn't help but feel a bit overwhelmed inside.
They went straight to the main villa, where a few people were chatting under the shade of trees at the villa entrance.
"Uncle!" Lin Shu and Zhong Chuling had also returned today, rushing over to Song Xiaodong.
Both had already been accepted by everyone, so they could publicly display their affection towards Song Xiaodong in front of everyone.
Lin Shu directly jumped into Song Xiaodong's arms, while Zhong Chuling was less bold, standing in front of Song Xiaodong with big watery eyes.
"Oh, who is this?" Lin Shu then noticed Lu Yaobing beside Song Xiaodong, then chuckled and said, "A new sister?"
Song Xiaodong slapped Lin Shu's bottom and said, "Don't talk nonsense, this is my disciple, Yaobing, come and meet the two master's wives."
Lu Yaobing quickly bowed to Lin Shu and Zhong Chuling, saying, "Hello, two masters' wives, I am Lu Yaobing."
Lin Shu immediately said, "Ah, you're Uncle's little disciple. So pretty, why be a disciple, call him husband!"
Lu Yaobing suddenly found this master's wife really likable, gave a sweet smile, but didn't dare to speak recklessly.
Song Xiaodong glared and said, "Stop spouting nonsense. Come on, Yaobing, let me introduce you to everyone."
Song Xiaodong then introduced the few people at the door one by one, and hearing that Song Xiaodong's disciple had arrived, everyone else inside the villa came out to see. Given that the women who were close to Song Xiaodong had all become his, a disciple suddenly seemed particularly special.
Being watched by so many master's wives, Lu Yaobing felt completely overwhelmed, unable to handle it at all, just trying her best to smile, be careful not to say something wrong, and appear modest.
She didn't even know how she left there, eventually ending up in a small villa.
"How are you feeling?" Song Xiaodong personally brought her over, and now sat down with Lu Yaobing, smiling and asking.
"I... Ah, how did I get here, where are the master's wives?" Lu Yaobing shook her head, feeling her mind was still in a freeze.
Song Xiaodong laughed heartily and said, "You... You're just too shy. Like a little puppet. I saw you really couldn't handle it, so I brought you here to rest."
Lu Yaobing shook her head again, finally clearing her mind, and said, "Thank you, Master. I really felt overwhelmed just now, with so many beautiful masters' wives, I was afraid of saying the wrong thing."
"You'll get used to it over time. Initially, everyone is just too curious about you, so they asked more."
Lu Yaobing looked puzzled and said, "Curious? Why is everyone curious?"
"Uh..." Song Xiaodong said slightly embarrassingly, "It's because previously, the pretty girls who were close to me all became sisters, so you as a disciple are a bit different."
"So that's how it is, then I..." Lu Yaobing pursed her lips, looking at Song Xiaodong with a meaningful gaze.
Facing Lu Yaobing's gaze, Song Xiaodong for the first time said seriously, "Yaobing, let me ask you, do you want to be one of my women, or do you want to be a unique disciple?"
Lu Yaobing was stunned instantly; did Song Xiaodong mean... she could also become his woman?
