Lu Yinchu said, he’d waited eight years for her, loved her for eight years, from twenty-four to thirty-two, he’d always loved her!
He’d never been in love before turning twenty-four, so she was his first love, his...only woman he’d ever loved!
But during those eight long years of waiting, had he turned to other women due to his loneliness, like Han Qing? Did he accept their physical attraction, even though there was no love?
Han Qing and Lu Yinchu had a deep relationship. Although she’d barely caught a glimpse of him in his car, she could tell Han Qing liked Lu Yinchu!
What exactly was the relationship between Han Qing and Lu Yinchu?
She couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable deep down, suffocated, heavily suffocated!
Nanxi was not a petty woman, she didn’t want to dwell on his past, yet she couldn’t ignore her discomfort!
So love, as Yinchu said, was truly selfish!
She followed Han Shaojing and Baobao into the elevator on the third floor, her lips pursed, remaining silent!
"Don’t be nervous!" Han Shaojing suddenly reached over and tousled her hair.
Nanxi frowned, wondering if all men in their thirties viewed her as a pet-like figure they could fondly pat, or was it something they learned from Yinchu?
As the elevator doors opened, Baobao was the first to step out, with Shaojing inviting Nanxi out. She smiled and followed Baobao out.
As Han Shaojing watched Nanxi’s figure, his lips slightly pursed and his eyes deepened.
In the private room, Han Qing was making tea. In a simple long dress, with her hair lightly tied back, she looked unrealistically beautiful in the soft sunlight coming in through the window.
When she saw people at the door, she turned her head, her eyes twinkling and lips curved in a charming smile. She warmly welcomed the newcomers, "You’re just in time, the tea is ready!"
Baobao was the first to come in, "I’m not interested in tea, I want juice, do you have any?"
Seeing this, Han Qing smiled, "This is beauty tea, it was specially made knowing you are coming!"
Her gaze landed on Baobao, but ultimately, it was Nanxi she was looking at.
Baobao was oblivious and upon hearing Han Qing’s words, her eyes gleamed with excitement, "Is that true? Beauty tea? Can it improve my beauty?"
With a smile, Han Qing responded, "Of course, would I lie to you?"
Baobao quickly moved towards her, "Pour me a cup then, let’s see if it works, if it can make me more beautiful!"
As Qing laughed, she poured a cup of tea for Baobao. Baobao was about to take a gulp, but she was stopped by Qing. "You can’t drink tea , you have to savor it!"
Baobao stuck her tongue out, "there are so many rules!"
Han Shaojing approached, chuckling, "Getting her to drink tea, isn’t that a waste of your fine tea?"
Upon hearing this, Baobao got angry, "Bro, what kind of comment is that!"
Han Qing laughed lightly and turned her gaze to Nanxi, "Nanxi, we meet again."
Nanxi smiled in return, "Miss Han, hello!"
To his surprise, Han Shaojing found out that the two knew each other, and he quickly beckoned Nanxi to sit down and muttered something about fate.
Han Qing was very talkative and knew a lot about tea. As she poured tea for them, she also shared some tea knowledge. Nanxi recalled that Lu Yinchu’s grandfather also loved tea and she couldn’t help think that maybe he would like Han Qing.
Deep down, she felt a sour feeling, unsure about the relationship between Han Qing and Lu Yinchu, she was curious but didn’t dare ask!
Baobao wanted to go to the bathroom and wanted Nanxi to accompany her. Shaojing protested, "You’re a grown woman, why do you need someone to accompany you to the bathroom?"
"I just want Nanxi to accompany me, not you, why do you care so much!"
With that, she grabbed Nanxi and headed out, looking as if they were really close.
As soon as they were out of the room, Baobao started grumbling, "So boring, if I knew my bro was coming to meet our cousin, I wouldn’t have brought you here. We could’ve had a grand meal just the two of us!"
Nanxi pursed her lips and asked, "You don’t seem to like your cousin, why is that?"
"She is too fake, like a doll, can’t find any faults but isn’t that the biggest fault in itself? Also, she is always controlling me, she’s just a distant cousin. In fact, if we removed the familial aspect, we could be strangers... my brother always sides with her when we quarrel... and her family always seems to cause trouble for my family..."
