Good Morning, Hubby! 2

Tong Lu turned off her phone right away. Once she got home, she went to bed early. By the time she woke up, it was dawn. Shanshan was nestled in her arms, sleeping soundly. 

Tong Lu got out of bed and washed up before heading downstairs. Coincidentally, she ran into Leng Yejin, who had just come back from a morning jog. 

"Just woke up?"

"Um." Tong Lu thought that her brother-in-law looked absolutely captivating in the morning sun. Her heart could not help but start beating faster. "By the way, Mr. President said that I can intern at the president's office. He said you mentioned me to him. Thank you."

Leng Yejin simply responded with "um" as he walked past her and headed into the house. After taking a few more steps, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. He turned around and said, "From now on, no matter what happens in the men's bathroom, you are not allowed to enter! Do you understand?" 

"But what if there is someone in the men's bathroom who needs help? I can't just leave them to die."

"Still, you are not allowed to enter the men's bathroom. Also, you are not to undress men!"

His voice was particularly bossy and as forceful as a perfect storm that threatened to destroy her if she disobeyed his words. 

Tong Lu flinched. She stared at Leng Yejin as he left after saying such harsh words. She complained internally, wondering if he could stop being so bossy. She had gone through something traumatic in the past few days. He could have just given her a word of comfort. 'What about the tenderness he showed me when he held my hand tight the other day?

'Wait a second. How could I long for his tenderness?'

When Tong Lu recalled the fact that Miss Xu would become his wife one day, she felt strangely dejected. 

They sat down at the dining table for breakfast. It was the first time Tong Lu and Shanshan ate at the same table with Leng Yejin. 

"Good morning, Miss Tong and Little Shanshan."

The servants brought Tong Lu and Shanshan's food to the table. They greeted the two of them respectfully and then backed into a corner in case they were needed. 

"Good morning, dad."

"Morning."

Shanshan hopped onto the chair with mischief. "Mum, why didn't you greet dad? You could've said, 'Good morning, hubby~'"

Tong Lu was embarrassed. "Shanshan, dad is not my husband. Stop with the nonsense."

"Mum, you're so stupid. Dad is your husband. You are dad's wife. Don't you get it?"

Tong Lu sneaked a glance at Leng Yejin. He was eating his breakfast in an elegant manner and did not even look up from his food. Tong Lu felt rather embarrassed. She shot Shanshan a glare. "Shanshan, haven't I told you that your dad and I are not a married couple?"

"Why?"

Tong Lu's cheeks turned red. "There's no reason. We are not a couple. That's it."

Displeased, Shanshan pouted. "Dad, isn't she your wife?"

In a corner, the butler and the servants thought to themselves, 'Of course not. Young Master Jin is way out of Miss Tong's league. Young Master Jin's future wife is Miss Xu Jing, the young mistress of the Xu Consortium.'

"No!" Leng Yejin's eyes widened slightly. "Your mother is my sister-in-law."

Shanshan was unhappy. 'Why isn't she his wife?' She said, "Humph, you two are annoying. I want to find my mum a husband!"

Leng Yejin was speechless. 

Tong Lu, too, did not know what to say. 

Shanshan huffed and said, "Let me think. Mum has such an adorable daughter like me. She has to find a super handsome husband. No ugly man allowed! He has to be more handsome than dad!"

Leng Yejin furrowed his lean eyebrows slightly. "I'm afraid it's difficult to find someone more handsome than me."

Shanshan said with an innocent look, "... then get someone with a big tool and good stamina!"

Tong Lu's eyebrow twitched. 

The look on Leng Yejin's face darkened. He cast Tong Lu a cold glance. 'Did this woman teach that to her young child?'

The butler was standing in the corner and secretly observing his facial expression. He did not dare to laugh out loud. Instead, he picked up a meat bao and teased Shanshan, "Little Shanshan, do you know what 'having a big tool and good stamina' really means?"

"... You're so stupid. Of course it means someone with great strength and good stamina, who can work hard! If so, then my mum never has to work again. Mum, don't you agree?"

Tong Lu wanted to hide her face in her palms. 'Can I run off now?'

Translator's note: In Mandarin, the word 器'tool' and (力)气'strength' have the same pronunciation.
