In the evening, he returned to the Lu Family’s home as usual.
In the living room, Grandpa and Lu Qingtian were playing chess. Lu Wenming was not there. Upon arriving at the entrance, he met Xia Zhen. Xia Zhen mentioned that Wenming went out in the afternoon, possibly to meet Li Xiangchen.
Xia Zhen sighed, "Your father is so stubborn, he never changes no matter how much you try to persuade him! Besides, his visit wouldn’t be of much use. He doesn’t understand that whether Xiangchen intervenes or not is secondary; what matters most are Weihuan’s feelings..."
Lu Yinchu pursed his lips in silence, his frown deepening. He knew all too well why Li Weihuan was behaving this way.
However, he knew even more about Li Weihuan’s stubborn temperament, so even though he had words of persuasion, he didn’t dictate his actions.
Moreover, Yi Mu was a good girl, and it was possible that Li Weihuan could fall in love with her.
All he could do was remind Weihuan to think clearly and make good decisions. As for how he should proceed in the future, he would need to figure that out for himself!
At eight o’clock in the evening, while Lu Yinchu was in his study dealing with work, as expected, he received a call from Li Weihuan.
Li Weihuan said, "Uncle Lu, I will handle my sister and my dad. On Mid-Autumn Festival, they will pretend not to know Nanxi. As for my mom... I’ll try to ensure that Grandpa won’t suspect anything!"
"I’ll handle things with your mom!"
Lu Yinchu’s voice was nonchalant, then he asked him, "By the way, did your dad say anything to you today?"
"Yes, he did. But I have already made up my mind and will not change it! Rest assured, uncle, this time I’m not acting on impulse. You should know that apart from protecting Nanxi, I also want to push myself!"
"I want to try falling for a girl again, to truly and completely let go of Nanxi from my heart. But I don’t know how to do that. I think this might be a good way."
"Besides, Yi Mu is really nice, I don’t dislike her. Maybe I am not fond of her yet, but at least she is a girl that everybody around me is happy with. Grandpa likes her, and my mom likes her too. It is a win-win situation... Uncle, you should know that this is the only way for me to push myself. Otherwise, I will always pose a potential threat to you, won’t I?"
Lu Yinchu furrowed his brows, after a moment, he slowly said, "Weihuan, you are my nephew, and I have loved you since I was a child. I can’t blame you! I, your uncle, wish for your happiness more than anyone else, and you must believe that!"
Upon hearing this, Li Weihuan on the phone felt tears prick his eyes.
The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lu Yinchu took the initiative to call Qi Qun. Upon seeing the name on her phone, she thought she was dreaming!
This number, this name, had not appeared on her phone since Xiaoyue’s death eight years ago. She took a deep breath, then slowly pressed the answer button - "Hello?"
"Are you free? We should meet."
When Lu Yinchu spoke, his voice sounded gentle, but with a hint of coldness.
Nanxi saw Lu Yinchu by the staircase. Seeing him in his formal suit, she hesitated, "Are you going out?"
Lu Yinchu nodded, "I have some things to do. I need to go out."
Nanxi pursed her lips, looking at him worriedly. "Is it something crucial? Do you really have to go out?"
"Um... Can I go with you?"
She couldn’t stop him from going, but being able to follow was good too.
Lu Yinchu glanced at her.
At this moment, the young woman’s big dark eyes were focused on him, and her rosy lips and white teeth made him irresistibly want to lean over and kiss her!
And in fact, that’s exactly what he did!
She pushed him away, "Lu Yinchu..."
After all, they were at the Lu Family’s house, at the staircase no less, and even though there was no one around, Nanxi was still embarrassed!
"Let’s go!" He let go of her lips, smiled, his eyes sparkling like stars, very attractive and charming.
"Wait a minute, let me change into something else!" Nanxi said as she prepared to go upstairs.
"No need!" Lu Yinchu held her hand, "You look good right now, very charming!"
"But I still don’t know what you’re going to do! It’s too casual for me to be dressed ."
Lu Yinchu smiled, "So concerned? Don’t worry, it won’t take long. We can come back soon, no need to change!"
"Oh!" Nanxi nodded, not insisting any further. She followed Lu Yinchu downstairs and out the door.
