My Billionaire Husband Claimed Me His Precious Chapter 1066 - 976: More Harm Than Good

Lu Qing felt a peculiar sort of melancholy due to Lu Xing’s excessive attentiveness. As he pondered Lu Xing’s potential motives, the more he considered it, the less clear things became. He glanced at the submitted application with curiosity and stated earnestly, "Don't worry. Even if you encounter him, you don't need to acknowledge him; just proceed as you normally would."

"I understand. I merely hope you won't find yourself in conflict with him."

Qin Miaomiao's primary concern was Lu Qing. After all, she held no fondness for individuals like Lu Xing, and his current intentions remained a mystery. If his motives were less than pure, friction between him and Lu Qing seemed probable, casting a shadow over her mood.

"Do not concern yourself with me."

Lu Qing spoke these words while placing his hand over Qin Miaomiao’s.

"I realize one Lu Xing couldn't possibly harm you. But who can truly fathom our grandfather's thoughts? His mind is unpredictable; the elderly often change their minds, their sentiments shifting from one day to the next."

"I understand. Grandpa's disposition is indeed capricious. However, we have ample time to demonstrate our trustworthiness. With patience, circumstances will undoubtedly improve."

Despite finding some solace in Lu Qing's reassurance, Qin Miaomiao decided against further discussion. She quietly spoke to the nanny positioned behind her before exiting the vehicle.

"You two take the children inside first; I need to make a phone call."

Qin Miaomiao offered a nod and promptly entered the residence. The arrival of three children invariably created a stir. Before she could utter a word, Old Sir Lu emerged, leaning on his cane.

"Why did you not inform me beforehand? Bringing three children must be quite inconvenient."

With a smile, Qin Miaomiao responded, "Not at all. Lu Qing is right behind me, and the nanny is here as well, making it quite manageable with the children."

Old Sir Lu’s gaze landed on the three little ones nestled in the stroller, his eyes curving into crescent shapes before he squinted, remarking, "Wonderful! It's been over ten days, and they've certainly grown. They've even become chubbier."

"Yes, the nanny diligently cares for them each day."

His expression shifted, carrying a profound depth as his gaze became lost in unspoken contemplation. Having concluded his phone call and received an update on Lu Xing’s latest location from his assistant, Lu Qing grew increasingly convinced that Lu Xing’s visit to their grandfather held ulterior motives. He proceeded indoors with a sense of caution.

Sensing movement, Qin Miaomiao turned, spotting the man. She smiled and announced, "Grandpa, Lu Qing has arrived."

At this precise moment, neither Lu Xing nor Mo Wenwan were aware that Qin Miaomiao and Lu Qing had already reached the old mansion, accompanied by the children. The pair were exploring the second-floor study, examining its layout with intrigue and engaging in hushed conversation.

"It appears your grandfather possesses considerable wealth, not merely ordinary riches; he is undeniably a billionaire."

Upon hearing Mo Wenwan’s observation, Lu Xing responded with a look of disdain: "You’re only discovering this now?"

"It's not that I'm just finding out. I'm simply curious: what were you doing when you turned eighteen? You should have returned to contend for the family inheritance then. Don't you feel it's rather late now, competing for it?"

Mo Wenwan's question stirred a memory in Lu Xing. All those missed opportunities, he realized, were primarily due to his father. It seemed pointless to acknowledge this now. In the past, intimidated by Old Master Lu's authority, he had hesitated to pursue his claim. Looking back, even if he had asserted his rights at eighteen, he couldn't be certain of the outcome. What if Old Master Lu had reacted with even greater fury? Ultimately, it would have been a futile endeavor.
