Lu Lijun turned around to greet his family members. Ning Jiahui finally looked relieved to see her son after a month.
"Where were you?" she asked.
"Just busy with work," he replied, hugging his mother. "I'm sorry for making you worry."
"If you know I'd be worried, then why would you do this?" she complained.
Lu Lijun chuckled softly, finding it unusual since his mother rarely complained or acted this way, usually maintaining a strong front.
She looked up at him, "What are you laughing at? Do you find it funny when I worry about you?"
He shook his head, trying to contain the smile on his lips. "I won't do it again."
"You'd better not, or I won't let you enter this home again," she warned, while Elder Lu added, "Especially since Yuyan would stay here and you wouldn't be allowed. That would be the perfect punishment for you."
The others agreed as well.
