Li Muhua snorted coldly. Just as she was about to say something, a servant came up and respectfully greeted, "Old Master."
"Dinner is ready. Do you want to eat now?"
"Go and prepare. Everyone is eating at home today." Lu Shiyun instructed the servant.
Once the servant left, Lu Shiyun pulled Qin Fangang aside to ask about the Lu Clan. The atmosphere in the living room seemed to have dissipated. Li Muhua realized that she didn't even have a chance to speak. She glanced at her son, who was still holding on to Xin Yu, and stepped forward to grab Lu Yihan's hand. She glared at him as if she expected better from him. "… Yihan, come with Mom. I have something to tell you."
Xin Yu couldn't wait for Lu Yihan to hurry up and leave. She discreetly struggled out of his grip and tactfully stood to the side.
Li Muhua glared at her coldly and pulled Lu Yihan out of the living room.
Lu Shiyun and Qin Fangang were sitting in the living room. Xin Yu couldn't stand still. Qin Fangang's gaze was vague, but it always fell on her. She really felt guilty and unbearable. She simply turned around and prepared to go to the kitchen. Unexpectedly, when she looked up, she happened to see Lu Yiting coming down the stairs.
Their gazes met in the air, and they were both stunned.
Xin Yu was a little surprised because she could tell that Lu Yiting had dressed up meticulously. She had been upstairs for such a long time, so she had probably been putting on makeup. At this moment, her small face was even more outstanding. Lu Yiting was indeed not ugly, and she had good taste in dressing up. However, what made Xin Yu surprised was that she had dressed up on a whim.
…
Lu Yiting rolled her eyes at Xin Yu with disdain. When she came down the stairs, she probably saw that there were not many people in the living room. However, her eyes soon fell on the back of the tall man.
His posture was lazy, but there was no lack of elegance as he sat there with his long legs casually crossed. A servant came up and bent over to pour him a glass of water. The man's slender fingers that were holding a cigarette casually covered the rim of the cup. He shook his head and said in a deep voice, "No need."
Lu Yiting's eyes flickered, and she was somewhat absent-minded.
During this period of time, she rarely saw Qin Fangang in person, but the TV media and gossip magazines were all about him. Such an outstanding man with delicate facial features, only 28 years old, but his every move exudes a strong masculine charm, which makes her unable to move her eyes away.
She didn't know what this feeling was called, but she couldn't help but want to know his every move, see his information, feel his masculine charm, and then she couldn't control her heartbeat …
Xin Yu actually didn't want to pay attention to Lu Yiting, but when she came downstairs, her youthful yearning gaze landed directly on Qin Fangang. For a moment, she was so shocked that she even forgot to breathe.
As an outsider, she seemed to be able to see more clearly.
The way Lu Yiting looked at Qin Fangang — that was …
Xin Yu simply couldn't believe her eyes. She felt that she must have guessed wrongly. No, she must have seen wrongly, right?
But the scene before her eyes was so vivid. The girl was looking at the man with an adoring gaze. If this wasn't love, then what was it?
But Lu Yiting, shouldn't she be calling Qin Fangang "Brother"?
…
"Old Master, dinner is ready."
The servant suddenly came up and nodded to inform Lu Shiyun. Lu Shiyun nodded and got up. He saw Xin Yu standing at the entrance of the living room with a strange expression on her face, as if she was deep in thought. He thought that she was still thinking about their wedding anniversary, so he went up to her and patted her on the shoulder. "Xin Yu, don't think so much. Don't feel burdened. Dad always thinks deeply about the things he decides on. Besides, you see, Yihan is much more sensible now and knows how to be considerate of you. Dad is really happy. I don't have any other wishes, I just hope that you and your wife will be well and that I will be able to see my grandson before I die."
"Dad … I'm not thinking about that."
Lu Shiyun had interrupted Xin Yu's thoughts while she was deep in thought. And his sincere words made Xin Yu feel a little guilty, so she replied almost instinctively.
Lu Shiyun heard this and immediately beamed with joy. "Then you agree from the bottom of your heart, right? This is a good thing. "
Xin Yu was speechless.
Actually, she wanted to open her mouth to say something, but a black shadow flashed by her side. A familiar masculine scent, with a strong smell of tobacco, hit her in the face. Xin Yu didn't know why, but she felt that this scent, which seemed to have penetrated deep into her soul, was now stained with a layer of something sharp.
So much so that when she breathed in, she felt a little choked.
As expected, she couldn't hold it in. She covered her mouth and coughed.
The moment she raised her eyes, she saw that Qin Fangang's tall and straight figure had already walked into the restaurant, and Lu Yiting followed behind him. Her heart sank slightly. Her face was calm, but in her heart, there was an inexplicable feeling rolling around, and her throat was a little dry.
"Let's go and eat. Dad is back today, so don't go out again. It's been so many days since the conflict with Yihan. It's time to reconcile."
"Dad …"
"Oh, that's right —" Xin Yu was about to say something, but Lu Shiyun frowned and interrupted her. "About your father, come with me to the study after dinner. I have something to talk to you about."
At the mention of Leng Dongming, Xin Yu had already thrown everything else to the back of her mind. She nodded and said, "Okay." Then she followed Lu Shiyun into the dining room.
Soon, Li Muhua and Lu Yihan also came in.
Xin Yu hadn't taken her seat yet, but Lu Shiyun sat in the seat directly in front. The seat beside him was naturally reserved for Li Muhua. Qin Fangang was already seated on the first seat on the left. Lu Yiting stood to the side with a shy look on her face.
Actually, the whole family was present for dinner. This was the first time something like this had happened. Naturally, Lu Shiyun was the one in charge of the family. He looked at the people standing and said to Lu Yiting, "Yiting, sit next to Fan Gang."
He then pointed to the first seat on the right and said to Xin Yu, "Xin Yu, sit next to me. Yihan, you sit next to Xin Yu."
Xin Yu's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Her beautiful brows furrowed. The first seat on the right … She thought that seat would be reserved for Lu Yihan. Why did he want her to sit there?
Actually, Lu Shiyun didn't have any other intentions with this arrangement. He knew that the two brothers didn't like each other. He thought that Xin Yu was working with Qin Fangang at the company, so he used her to mediate and let her sit across from Qin Fangang.
However, this was too awkward for Xin Yu.
Although eating with Qin Fangang wasn't a big deal and the two of them had eaten together a few times in private, it was a different feeling in front of the Lu family. What's more, her husband was sitting next to her …
But no matter how difficult it was, she had no choice but to sit.
Xin Yu took a deep breath and was about to bite the bullet and sit down when Lu Yihan reached out and grabbed her wrist. He pulled her to his seat and sat opposite Qin Fangang. "Dad, no matter what, this seat should be mine. Although I've said that I'm going to dote on my wife from now on, shouldn't we be clear about our priorities?"
Xin Yu was speechless.
Lu Shiyun was stunned for a moment. "It's just a seat. If you think it's good, then just sit there. Alright, let's eat."
Xin Yu had never had such a difficult meal before. If she used to think that eating at the Lu family's dining table was torture for her, then now it was even more painful than death by a thousand cuts.
However, Lu Yihan didn't know if there was something wrong with his head. He actually tried to curry favor with her. "Here, eat some of this. You're too skinny. Eat more to gain weight."
Xin Yu was speechless.
Looking at the extra piece of red braised pork in her bowl, Xin Yu instinctively picked up her chopsticks and picked up the piece of red braised pork. Just as she was about to throw it into the small bowl beside her, Lu Shiyun suddenly said, "Xin Yu has indeed lost a lot of weight. I've only been away for a few days. Why do you look so haggard? Is it because you're not used to D City after coming back from England? Or is it because of the stress from work? Is the Fan Gang pressuring you? "
Xin Yu paused in her movement to throw the piece of meat away. Lu Shiyun's last sentence entered her ears and lingered in her heart. It was as though there was a sudden change in flavor. It actually made her feel ambiguous.
She knew that she had a "guilty conscience," but how could she control herself in a situation like this?
A mouthful of rice was still stuck in her throat. At this moment, she coughed violently a few times. Xin Yu quickly put down her chopsticks, covered her mouth, and politely turned her face to the side.
However, she happened to hear the man's deep voice. It was rich and pleasant to the ears, but there was clearly an ambiguous ambiguity in it. "Of course I have to give her pressure. Otherwise, I'm afraid that she won't be able to find her way. Since she's with me now, she's my woman. Even if I give her pressure, it's for her own good."
…
Xin Yu couldn't hold it in. Her breath was already stuck in her throat, and she felt uncomfortable because she couldn't cough loudly at the dining table. At this moment, she felt even worse. Her entire face was red as she covered her mouth and coughed softly.
Qin Fangang spoke frankly. Perhaps only Xin Yu herself would feel that "ambiguous" feeling because she had a guilty conscience. Lu Shiyun didn't suspect anything when he heard what he said. He nodded thoughtfully. "You have to give her pressure, but Xin Yu has just graduated, so she's a little slow to pick up on many things. Fan Gang, you have to put in more effort and teach her slowly."
Qin Fangang's long fingers with distinct joints casually fiddled with the bone plate in front of him. His thin lips curled up as his deep gaze landed on the embarrassed woman's face. Her small face was flushed red, and her pair of clear eyes kept sparkling. He didn't know why, but this kind of sparkling look made the haze in his heart disappear by half.
"Of course, Xin Yu is indeed unfamiliar with many things, but she's very perceptive. Sometimes, she can pick up on things with just a hint. Don't worry, I'll teach her slowly. I'll definitely make her … feel better the more she does it."
