Before her transmigration, Ning Zhi was a pretty one. She had never been resented for being unattractive before.
She gave Lu Jue a stare. The little fool was silly and not all there. Somehow, he knew that she had become uglier than she used to be?
On the other hand, witnessing that her son had been stopped and even responded to Ning Zhi, Mother Lu was visibly happy. She knew it. Having Ning Zhi married Lu Jue was the right move.
Mother Lu took off after she told Ning Zhi to take good care of Lu Jue.
It was quiet inside of the room.
Ning Zhi started looking around the room after she have given Lu Jue another look.
The room was quite spacious and all of the walls were padded in beige color. There was barely any furniture in the room. The main colors were white and grey and seemed very forlorn even when there was a woman living there.
Clearly, the original owner did not consider this place her home.
There was a large patio outside of the room, the afternoon sun shining down on it made it seem less cold.
Ning Zhi noticed another closet in the room. None of Lu Jue's clothes were in there; they were stored in a different closet.
Looking inside from the glass door, she could see woman's clothing hanging inside. There weren't a lot of them and the closet seemed empty.
Suddenly, she thought about her own closet that was filled to the brim with the trendiest dresses, purses, shoes, and jewelries from the latest season. They were all her babies.
After she was done looking at it, she happened to notice that Lu Jue was heading out and she quickly followed behind him.
The room next to them was a study and, following behind Lu Jue, Ning Zhi noticed that he was very tall.
She was about 1.68 meter in height and Lu Jue was much taller than her. His shoulders were broad and his waist slender. He was a walking weapon in and of itself and he was difficult to overlook.
Lu Shao walked in front of the bookshelf and there were many boxes on top of it. He picked up one of the many.
Walking over to his desk, he poured the puzzle out of the box and the pieces took over the entire table. Ning Zhi looked at the box and it was labeled 1000 pieces.
Ning Zhi picked up the lid of the box and looked at it. It was a picture of a dark blue sky covered with little planets. They looked like little glowing ants and were dazzling.
Lu Jue started working on the puzzle without making another sound.
Ning Zhi had never put a puzzle together before but she could still tell that this was a difficult one. She had doubts that Lu Jue would be able to assemble it.
Ning Zhi wasn't interested in puzzles. She looked over at Lu Jue. It was better to look at him than at the puzzle. His features were defined, as though carved out carefully. Even his thin lips that were shut were exactly how she liked them.
The little fool was so good looking; no wonder he was resentful of how she currently looked.
Ning Zhi touched her cheek. Her features were very delicate now but they looked very ordinary. As though it was covered up with a layer of gauze, murky and not attention-grabbing. She hasn't even met Lin Tiantian yet, but Ning Zhi already considering her her archenemy.
Look was very important to a girl. Lin Tiantian didn't just take her look, but also her health. The name Lin Tiantian alone was enough to rile up Ning Zhi.
She only had three days remaining. If she did not get one little sun before the deadline and exchange it for 1% of the halo, she would die.
Thinking of that, she looked over at Lu Jue once again. Her look was bright and burning.
He was not just a tool to facilitate the book; he was her savior!
Unfortunately, the original owner didn't care much about Lu Jue Ning Zhi had no recollection of Lu Jue's hobbies or what favorite food.
Ning Zhi brought over a chair while looking at Lu Jue focusing on his puzzle.
Sitting down next to him, she said with a smile, "Lu Jue, let me help you. It will go much faster with the two of us." How boring was it to play by himself? She was sure it'd make him happy if she played with him.
Lu Jue's head was still lowered. He was very focused and did not respond to Ning Zhi.
Ning Zhi picked up one of the pieces. She compared it to the original drawing, trying to figure out where it'd go. Nevertheless, it looked like it could go just about anywhere on this drawing of a night sky.
Ning Zhi looked for an approximately spot and tried to place it.
"That's wrong," said the man in his deep and dull voice.
Lu Jue picked up the piece of puzzle that she had put down and moved it to a different spot.
Ning Zhi picked up another, triple checked herself, before she placed it in a corner spot.
"That's wrong." Lu Jue corrected her once again.
She was, again, corrected by Lu Jue when she put down her third piece.
Ning Zhi's eyes widened.
"How could you tell that I was wrong? They all look the same." As soon as Ning Zhi had finished saying that, she saw a little dark cloud popped into the indicator over Lu Jue's head.
Ning Zhi dared not go on. She could stoop very low in order to live. "Aye, I was wrong."
There was no little sun; she had managed to bring about a dark cloud.
