Gao Zixuan sneered and glanced at him, but her eyes were full of tenderness. Li Rui was very happy to see this. If they weren't in the shoe store, he would have hugged her and kissed her.
The shoes were quickly brought over by the shop assistant. Gao Zixuan handed the purse to Li Rui and sat on the leather stool to try on the shoes. Li Rui stood beside her and stared at her feet without blinking. He watched as she revealed her slender and exquisite feet, stuffed them into the beautiful purple Cl heels, and gently lifted the heels. The world's most sexy and charming image was fixed in his eyes. The shoes were a flirtatious purplish red, and her feet were as white as snow. It was simply mesmerizing. Coupled with the luxurious and fashionable curves of the shoes, it was indescribably charming.
Li Rui secretly drooled. If it weren't for the people beside him, he would have pounced on the ground and kissed Gao Zixuan's snowy feet.
After trying on the shoes, Gao Zixuan picked out a pair of cyan shoes for Lu Qingman. She asked the shop assistant to wrap them up and give them the bill. Li Rui took the initiative to pay the bill. This brand was more luxurious. The shoes that Gao Zixuan liked cost more than seven thousand yuan per pair. Two pairs would cost fifteen thousand yuan. Of course, Li Rui didn't feel the slightest bit of heartache. After all, he was buying shoes for his wife, so he didn't feel the pinch no matter how much money he spent. This feeling was the same as when he bought shoes for Ding Yijing. Anyway, he didn't lack money now. He would spend what he needed. Only when he spent money could he earn money.
Carrying the two bags out of the store, Li Rui smiled at Gao Zixuan and said, "Why didn't you rush to pay today?" Gao Zixuan looked at him unhappily and said, "Didn't you call yourself my husband? Then I'll enjoy the feeling of being doted on by my husband. Can't I?"
As soon as she said this, the gap between the two disappeared. They finally returned to their previous tenderness and intimacy. The two of them looked at each other. Both of them were happy from the bottom of their hearts. Li Rui really wanted to hold her in his arms and feel the long-lost feeling. Unfortunately, he couldn't do that in public. Besides, who knew when Qingman would find him? He could only suppress this thought at the bottom of his heart and wait for the future.
They continued to shop for a while and bought two shirts and a pair of jeans for Qingman. Gao Zixuan was in charge of choosing and Li Rui was in charge of paying. After they finished shopping, the two of them went downstairs and waited for Lu Qingman at the entrance of the cafe.
Gao Zixuan began to ask about the details of the treasure hunt, "When are we going?" Li Rui said, "If time permits, we'll go tomorrow afternoon." Gao Zixuan frowned and said, "Cut the crap. What do you mean by time permits?" Li Rui smiled and said, "If there's nothing urgent." Gao Zixuan asked again, "Are you sure there will be treasure?" Li Rui nodded and said, "I'm very sure. But the treasure in the treasure map was hidden in the mountain temple. After so many years, it might have been found and taken away by someone. It's not impossible." Gao Zixuan rolled his eyes and said, "Anyway, I've already told you that there must be treasure. Even if there isn't, you have to make it appear. If you can't find anything after searching for half a day, I won't forgive you. Hmph."
The two of them talked and laughed happily. After waiting for a while, Qingman and Auntie He finally came out.
Auntie He didn't say anything to Li Rui. She waved goodbye to him and left with a smile on her face.
Gao Zixuan pulled Lu Qingman to a corner and asked, "How was it? Did you convince her to be your stepmother?" Lu Qingman didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said, "How can it be so fast? Do you think this is a game? You can be a stepmother just because you want to. There should be a process of getting to know her. "Gao Zixuan asked," How did you get to know her? "
Li Rui also came forward and looked at Qingman with excitement and expectation.
Lu Qingman smiled and nodded, "She's not bad. This woman is not bad either. I feel like she's a gift from God for my father to remarry." Li Rui quickly asked, "Tell me, what's so good about her?"
Lu Qingman explained Auntie He's situation in a few words. Auntie He's name was He Suli. She was 47 years old and was born in a scholarly family. She was an only child and was a native of Jingnan. When she was young, she followed her parents to Beijing to develop their career and got married and had a child there. Unfortunately, her child died of an illness and she divorced her husband. After that, she remained single and did not remarry. After her parents passed away, she sold her property in Beijing and returned to her hometown, Jingnan. Now, she was all alone. Although she was free, it was difficult to hide the desolation and loneliness of her later years. She was very open-minded about this and didn't insist on remarrying. She just wanted to let fate take its course. This woman had a very good personality. She was elegant, quiet, and courteous. She had the demeanor of a lady from a wealthy family during the Republic of China. Lu Qingman admired this trait of hers.
The more Li Rui listened, the more familiar he felt it was. When Lu Qingman finished, he was so shocked that his mouth opened wide. He cried out, "Why does Auntie He's situation sound so similar to that woman who was introduced to me last time?"
He was talking about the woman Luo Nana introduced to him last time. That woman was also in her forties. When she heard that Lu Zhouxing was too old, she rejected him. At that time, the woman's life experience described by Luo Nana was very similar to He Suli's situation as described by Lu Qingman. They were almost the same person.
When Lu Qingman heard this, he was also stunned. He suddenly said, "When I heard Auntie He's story, I didn't think so. Now that I think about it, it does sound familiar. I think I've heard you say it before."
Li Rui didn't waste time. He took out his phone and called Luo Nana.
Gao Zixuan didn't care about this unexpected coupling. He asked, "You only understood the situation from her and didn't tell her anything. Do you want to develop her as a stepmother? At the very least, you should hint to her that you want to set her up with your father. " Lu Qingman smiled bitterly. "I just met her and we have a good relationship. How can I talk about such an awkward topic? I plan to make friends with her first. When we're close, I'll find an opportunity to ask her out for dinner. Then I'll introduce my father to her and see if she's willing. What I'm most worried about now is that she thinks my father is too old. Then no matter how good she is, my father won't stand a chance. "
Gao Zixuan sneered. "She's not young anymore. How could she dare to dislike your father? For a woman, no one would want her after 40 years old. She would be an old woman that everyone despises. However, for a man, especially a successful man like Uncle Lu, 60 years old is the golden age. I believe that as long as she is not stupid, she will definitely be willing to be your stepmother. Hehe, I advise you to quickly matchmake them. Listen to me, you can't be wrong … "
The two of them chatted and laughed. On the other side, Li Rui had already called Luo Nana. He didn't care about anything else and asked, "The woman you introduced last time, is her surname He? Is her name He Suli?" Luo Nana was stunned. She exclaimed in surprise, "How did you know? I don't think I've said her name before. "Li Rui didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He sighed and said," The provincial capital is too small! "Luo Nana asked curiously," What do you mean? Did you bump into Sister He? Are you in the provincial capital? " Li Rui said, "My wife and I were shopping in the Spring Department Store in Paris. We bumped into an aunt. She has a good image and temperament. After chatting with her, I found that her personal situation was similar to the woman you mentioned before. So I wanted to call you to ask about it. I didn't expect … I didn't expect, ha."
Luo Nana was stunned for a while and asked, "And then? Did you tell her about me? Did you tell her about your father-in-law's situation? " Li Rui said, "No, no. She has already left. She doesn't know that I recognized her. I'm just confirming with you. She doesn't know anything." Luo Nana said, "Then what do you want?" Li Rui said with a smile, "Since we bumped into each other, it means that we are fated to meet. So my wife and I want to try to matchmake her with my father-in-law. If it succeeds, it will be good. If it doesn't, then we can give up. But don't tell her that we are the daughter and son-in-law of the person she rejected last time. "Luo Nana said with a smile," You don't have to worry about that. I've never been a talkative person … "
After hanging up the phone, Li Rui returned to the two women and nodded to Qingman. He said with a bitter smile, "It's true. Aunt He is the woman who rejected our father last time." Lu Qingman's face immediately became bitter. She said, "Then what should we do? If she can reject our father once, she can reject him a second time. I'm really afraid that she will reject our father again. " Li Rui waved his hand and said, "Let's not worry about that for now. Anyway, we should try our best to matchmake them and create an opportunity for them to meet. Whether it will succeed or not, we will know when we meet them. Maybe she will be attracted by our father's image as soon as they meet, and this marriage will succeed."
Gao Zixuan interrupted, "I think so too. You two shouldn't think too much. Everything can wait until we meet them. It will be good if it succeeds, but if it doesn't, we won't lose anything. There are all kinds of women in this world. Why should we hang ourselves on her? "
Lu Qingman listened and nodded, but she was still a little worried. However, her attention was quickly diverted by Gao Zixuan because Gao Zixuan handed her the clothes and shoes that Li Rui bought for her. Although she liked them very much after seeing them, when she heard the price, she was immediately embarrassed and dissatisfied. She grabbed Li Rui and pinched him.
After walking out of the Spring Department Store in Paris, the couple said goodbye to Gao Zixuan on the side of the road. They agreed to return to Qingyang together tomorrow morning and go to the West Mountain of Yongyang Town in the northern district of the city to search for treasures in the afternoon.
When they arrived at the second building of the Standing Committee Building of the Provincial Party Committee Compound, the couple met Lu Zhouxing affectionately. Lu Zhouxing had just returned. He had a small gathering with a few old friends. It was a rare chance for them to get together. He was sobering up when he saw his beloved daughter and son-in-law come home to accompany each other. Naturally, he was more happy.
