Chapter 36

Shen Yafang's beautiful eyes flashed with a strange light as she couldn't help but recall a conversation she had with Jiang Chunyu not long ago after they got drunk. At that time, Jiang Chunyu said, "Our husbands are all keeping mistresses outside, and not just one. Why don't we, like other official and wealthy wives, keep a young, handsome, and strong man? Yes, a so-called 'little wolf dog'!"

Looking at the charming Lu Xin, Shen Yafang felt a string in her heart being gently plucked. It wasn't love, but a strong liking had formed.

However, Shen Yafang could clearly see that her daughter Li Lu had an even stronger liking for Lu Xin, and her good friend Jiang Chunyu also liked him. If she were to follow Jiang Chunyu's suggestion and keep Lu Xin, she, Shen Yafang, might end up competing with her daughter Li Lu and her good friend Jiang Chunyu for a man.

Thinking about this, Shen Yafang tried to control her gaze and avoid looking at Lu Xin's fair and handsome face that seemed to glow.

If Shen Yafang knew that Lu Xin's impression of her was negative, she would realize that her earlier hesitation was overthinking.

Lu Xin looked up at the wall clock; it was already 7:40. Remembering that he still needed to go to the hospital to take care of the maintenance team leader Li Li and the equipment department head Liu Jianhui, and to seduce Li Li's wife Liu Xinmeng, he smiled at Shen Yafang and said, "Director Shen, I still need to go to the hospital to take care of the injured leaders, so I'll leave first!"

Because his impression of Shen Yafang was negative, he didn't call her "sister" as he did at the beginning, nor did he call her "godmother" as Jiang Chunyu hoped. Instead, he called her by her official title.

The change in address indicated that Lu Xin had mentally distanced himself from Shen Yafang. The three women on the scene noticed this change in address.

Jiang Chunyu had brought Lu Xin over to gain Shen Yafang's favor and get her to take the initiative in Lu Xin's affairs to protect him. When she saw that Shen Yafang had a negative impression of Lu Xin, she was worried for him. Now that Shen Yafang was being热情, Lu Xin had a negative impression, and he was actually failing at a critical moment!

She coughed lightly, gave Lu Xin a glare, and said, "Lu Xin, why are you being so formal? Call me godmother!"

From Jiang Chunyu's expression, Lu Xin could see her good intentions and immediately realized his immaturity. He came here to win Shen Yafang's favor and ask her to help him deal with Li Qiming. How could he let his personal feelings affect the bigger picture? However, he noticed that when Jiang Chunyu mentioned him as Li Lu's godbrother at the Li family villa, Shen Yafang's expression was not good. He smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid it's just my one-sided wish."

Lu Xin really didn't want to call Shen Yafang godmother. Although she was said to be 35 years old, she had a baby face, and her skin was so well-maintained that it looked smooth and delicate. She looked much younger, and some people might even believe she was 25, making her look only a few years older than him. Calling her godmother seemed too much.

To Lu Xin's surprise, Shen Yafang smiled, and her fair cheeks showed shallow dimples. "I was never meant to have a son, but if I could adopt a godson as strong in martial arts as Lu Xin, I would be overjoyed. Lu Xin, are you willing to be my godson?"

Lu Xin thought he was already quite unsimple, but in Shen Yafang's heart, she had even more unsimple thoughts. At this moment, she was thinking that the godsons of some official and wealthy wives were actually their young boyfriends, or so-called 'little wolf dogs.' Today, I will also adopt a godson.

Lu Xin really wanted to know what would happen if he refused, but reality doesn't allow for hypotheticals. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and force a smile, "I am willing!"

"Chunyu, do you think we should have a ceremony?" Shen Yafang was in an unusually good mood and even wanted to have a formal ceremony to recognize the godson.

"Hehe, no need to make it too formal, it might cause a bad impression. How about he bows to you and you give him a red envelope?" Jiang Chunyu glanced at Shen Yafang and Lu Xin, suddenly realizing that her suggestion was a bit risky. The age difference between the godmother and godson was too small, and if it got out, many people would talk. But then she thought, with Shen Yafang's current status, ordinary gossip wouldn't affect her.

Now, a serious problem faced Lu Xin: should he kneel and bow to Shen Yafang?

Lu Xin only wanted to use Shen Yafang to deal with Li Qiming and wasn't genuinely willing to call her godmother. He really didn't want to bend his knee. After a brief hesitation, he said, "Godmother, I'm sorry, but I once made a vow that I would only kneel to heaven, earth, and my grandparents and parents, and never to anyone else!"

Jiang Chunyu tried to persuade him, "Godmother is also a mother, what's wrong with kneeling once?"

Lu Xin pursed his lips and firmly refused. This was his bottom line. If he broke it, he might as well use his gold control ability to kill Li Qiming.

Shen Yafang's face turned extremely ugly when she saw Lu Xin's firm refusal and lack of sincerity, and the atmosphere became tense.

But she soon realized that her motivation for adopting Lu Xin as a godson was not pure. If their relationship really developed to that point, his kneeling would become a joke. She smiled, "A man's knees are worth gold and should not be knelt easily. How about this: you bow to your godmother and pour her a cup of tea, and that will be considered a proper greeting!"

This was acceptable. Lu Xin bowed to Shen Yafang, a 90-degree bow, and then poured a cup of tea, presenting it to her with both hands, "Godmother, please have some tea!"

Shen Yafang took the tea, sipped it, and then put it down. She walked upstairs to the second-floor bedroom, came back with a red envelope, and handed it to Lu Xin, "Godson, this is a red envelope from your godmother!"

Lu Xin took it and, by the feel of it, judged that it contained a bank card. If it were just a few thousand yuan, a bank card wouldn't be necessary. It was likely several ten thousand yuan. He quickly tried to refuse, pushing the red envelope back into Shen Yafang's hands, "Godmother, this red envelope is too heavy, I can't accept it!"

"It's just a thin bank card, very light," Shen Yafang smiled, playing with words.

"If it were a few hundred yuan, I would accept it, but a bank card really scares me. I can't accept it," Lu Xin said sincerely.

"Are you worried about the money being dirty?" Shen Yafang's face turned serious, "Let me tell you, this money is not from corruption or bribery. It's from my stock trading!"

"Godmother, I didn't mean that. I just think the money is too much!" Lu Xin smiled, "A few hundred yuan would be fine!"

Shen Yafang's face turned even darker, "This red envelope represents my gratitude for saving Lu Lu and my affection for you. Do you think a few hundred yuan can represent that?"

Jiang Chunyu also laughed, "Lu Xin, stop talking nonsense and stop refusing. Just take it!"
