He Suli was born into a scholarly family, so naturally, she had a deep understanding of China's traditional culture, especially the four arts of zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Lu Zhouxing knew that she liked calligraphy and painting through their conversations, so he dared to invite her.
He Suli gladly agreed, so Lu Zhouxing took her to the study on the second floor.
Only Li Rui, Lu Qingman, and Yu Hongwei were left in the living room. The three of them looked at each other and smiled from the bottom of their hearts. The three of them could see that the old man liked He Suli very much, and He Suli seemed to have some feelings for the old man as well. The two of them felt a little sympathy for each other.
The three of them chatted as they waited downstairs. After about twenty minutes, He Suli leisurely came downstairs, and Lu Zhouxing followed behind to see her off. The three of them didn't know what the two of them had said or done upstairs, but now they could see that He Suli's face was a little red, and her expression was a little awkward. Fortunately, she still had a faint smile on her face, otherwise they would have been worried.
He Suli came to the living room and walked in front of Lu Qingman. Lu Qingman had already stood up and affectionately pulled He Suli's arm and said, "Aunt Li, have a seat." He Suli said, "I won't sit, it's time to go back." Lu Qingman was slightly surprised and said, "Wait a little longer, I still want to talk to you." He Suli patted her hand and said, "Next time." Lu Qingman then said, "Okay, I'll send you home." He Suli shook her head and said, "No need, you're pregnant, you should rest at home."
At this time, Lu Zhouxing ordered, "Hongwei, send your Aunt Suli home. Make sure to drive slowly on the road."
Yu Hongwei nodded in agreement and walked to the entrance to wait.
He Suli patted Lu Qingman's hand, said goodbye to Li Rui, and walked towards Yu Hongwei. As she was leaving, she didn't even say goodbye to Lu Zhouxing.
Both Li Rui and Lv Qingman noticed this and were very surprised. Lv Qingman's face even changed, as if she had seen the result of the two old people not fated to be together. However, the young couple still suppressed the doubts in their hearts and walked to see them off.
Outside the courtyard, the couple and Lu Zhouxing watched He Suli leave in her car. When they returned to the building, Lu Qingman asked Lu Zhouxing nervously, "Dad, what did you say to Aunt He Suli in the study upstairs? Why did she look so weird when she went downstairs? She didn't say goodbye to you before she left? "
Lv Zhouxing chuckled, sat on the sofa, picked up the teacup, and drank a few mouthfuls of tea. He said, "I told her frankly. Su Li, to tell you the truth, I like you very much and want to spend the rest of my life with you. But I'm usually very busy with work, so I don't have much time and energy to pursue you, especially not on meaningless guesses and speculations. Therefore, I'm confessing my love to you now. If you're willing to give me a chance, then we'll establish a relationship; if you're not willing, just take it that I'm talking nonsense because I'm drunk tonight. Please don't mind."
When Li Rui and Lu Qingman heard this, they were both shocked and looked at each other. No one had expected that the usually dignified and righteous Old Master would express his feelings to He Suli before they had even revealed their feelings for each other. Not only had He Suli been caught off guard, but even the two of them, who had facilitated this matter, had been caught off guard. Sigh, this move of the Old Master was really … how to put it!
Li Ruixin said. No wonder He Suli looked so shy and awkward when she went downstairs, and no wonder she didn't say goodbye to the Old Master before she left. It turned out that the Old Master had forced her to confess to him. Fortunately, she had a good temper. If it had been another woman, she would have lost her temper.
Lu Qingman said bitterly, "Dad, you're really drunk!"
Lu Zhouxing smiled and said, "Manman, I can understand how you feel, but I have no choice. I can only do this." After he finished speaking, his smile had turned bitter. He sighed and said, "In my situation, I can't just casually find a partner like an ordinary person. I can only do this through special means."
Lu Qingman said angrily, "But you can't just confess to her right away! I never told Auntie He that I wanted to matchmake the two of you. This time, I invited her over for dinner only as a friend. She wasn't mentally prepared at all. You just … Hmph, this time she must be angry. Maybe she won't even consider you. "
When Lu Zhouxing heard this, he was proud of himself. He said, "She's not angry. She just didn't expect me to be so straightforward. She was a little shocked and embarrassed. However, she didn't reject me directly. She said she would think about it."
When Li Rui and Lu Qingman heard this, their worry turned into joy. He Suli didn't reject him directly, which meant that she did have a good impression of the Old Master. When she said she would think about it, it was just an excuse that she couldn't bring herself to do. Maybe she was already moved. In fact, when they thought about it, Lu Zhouxing was a provincial governor and could be considered a governor. He was also good-looking and could be considered a handsome old man. With so many good qualities, it was definitely an irresistible temptation for a single divorced woman like He Suli. As for his slightly older age, it wasn't a problem at all. An old man with a young wife, wouldn't he know how to take care of her better?
Lu Qingman said happily, "Okay, then I'll go find Auntie He tomorrow morning and test her attitude. As long as she doesn't reject, then this matter is considered a success. "
Li Rui smiled and said, "From Auntie He's behavior tonight, I can see that she has a good impression of you. She even admires you."
Lu Zhouxing smiled and asked, "Oh, you're saying that she has a good impression of me because I'm a provincial governor?"
Li Rui shook his head and said, "Of course not. Auntie He is a noble and elegant person. She's not a snobbish woman. I think that her admiration for you is because of your great success in politics. Women worship heroes, strong people, and important people. This is determined by their gender and social status. For Auntie He, you are a strong person and important person. It's natural for her to worship you and want to rely on you. Of course, maybe there's also a little bit of vanity at work. "
Lu Zhouxing was very curious when he heard this. He asked, "Vanity at work?"
Li Rui explained, "There's a famous saying that a man conquers a woman by conquering the world, and a woman conquers a man by conquering the world. For a woman, the greatest challenge and glory in life is to conquer an excellent man. The more excellent the man is, the more satisfied her vanity will be. If Auntie He can get the love of you, the provincial governor, it's the same as conquering you. It's the same as conquering the entire Shannan Province. It's comparable to conquering a country in Europe. You can imagine how satisfied her vanity will be … Of course, hehe, this is just my wishful thinking. I don't think Auntie He will think that way. She's not that kind of woman. "
Lu Zhouxing laughed and said, "This is the first time I've heard this argument, but it sounds reasonable. Manman, Xiao Rui is so excellent. Don't you feel satisfied with your vanity? "
Lu Qingman smiled and said, "I don't think that way. I don't care about this feeling. As long as Xiao Rui is good to me, I'm satisfied."
Li Rui was secretly touched. Qingman might not have the best figure, the prettiest face, or the most flirtatious personality, but she was definitely the easiest to satisfy. She was also the one with the lowest requirements. For this reason, he wanted to love her for the rest of his life. He said, "Wife, don't worry. I'll treat you better and better."
These words were spoken in front of Lu Zhouxing. Lu Qingman was very happy to hear this. She looked at him with love. The couple looked at each other. At this moment, their feelings for each other deepened.
Lu Zhouxing drank two sips of tea. Li Rui saw that the cup was almost empty, so he quickly went forward to refill it for him.
Lu Zhouxing suddenly thought of something and said, "You haven't finished your training, right? Do you still have to go back to the hotel tonight? "
Before Li Rui could answer, Lu Qingman said, "Yes, tomorrow is the last day. He has to go back tonight."
Lu Zhouxing said, "Yes, that's how it should be. Since you're here for training, you have to have the attitude of a participant. Study hard, be low-key, abide by the rules, and don't try to be special. This is not for outsiders to see. It's to cultivate your state of mind and temperament. Then I won't ask you to stay tonight. You can go back to the hotel. "
Lu Qingman also said, "Then you can go back first. After tomorrow's training, we'll go back to Qingyang City together. I'll walk you out. "
Li Rui hurriedly said, "Don't. You should stay at home and take care of the baby. I'll go out by myself. I'll just call a taxi at the entrance. Dad, I'll go first. You guys rest early tonight. "
Lu Zhouxing saw that he cared about Qingman and was very satisfied. He stood up and said, "Okay, be careful on the road."
Li Rui was sent out of the courtyard by the father and daughter. He waved goodbye to them and walked back to the entrance of the courtyard. After walking for about ten meters, he took out his phone and called Zhang Yimiao. After the call was answered, he said, "I'm free, but I'm outside. If I go back to pick you up, it'll be a waste of time. So you can come and pick me up directly. I'm not far from the hotel.
I'm not far from the courtyard. "Zhang Yimiao was stunned for a while. She said in a strange tone," You really are the nephew of some provincial leader. You've been hiding it from me before. Now you've revealed it unintentionally. "Li Rui smiled and said," Is my identity more important or your business more important? "Zhang Yimiao said," To me, it's both important. "
