Chapter 554: Chapter 554 I Will Stop Losses in Time and Will Not Hurt Myself Chapter 554: Chapter 554 I Will Stop Losses in Time and Will Not Hurt Myself No one picked up the conversation; they just looked at him and smiled. Lu Yichen had to find an opportunity to ask his sister, “What’s with them all?”
Lu Yiting really didn’t want to lie to her second brother and said, “Second brother, you really need to step it up.”
Lu Yichen understood what his sister meant in a second, it must be another masterpiece from his aunt. So, before he could make an excuse, Gu Qianru quickly made her getaway.
The next morning, Gu Qianru and Lu Yixuan, along with a few siblings, brought some nutritional supplements to visit the patient at the neighboring Kong Family. The third son of the Kong Family, Kong Xiangrui, had severe burns all over his body, except for his face and neck.
After staying in the hospital for several months, scabs had formed all over his body, which looked extremely terrifying. Perhaps due to physical and emotional exhaustion, he had become so thin that he was almost unrecognizable, a shadow of his former handsome and energetic self.
Lu Yichen’s eyes reddened when he saw Kong Xiangrui’s condition. This was his childhood playmate who used to always follow them around. Now, he had turned into this, but fortunately, the Kong Family hadn’t given up on him.
Leaving the Kong Family with heavy hearts, Lu Yichen went back to change into a new set of clothes before loading the car and driving towards the Luo Family’s home.
He parked the car at the entrance of the alley and carried the supplies down the back alley. Uncle Sun, who was in front of the gate, overheard people gossiping, “Who is that young man visiting with all those high-end nutritional products?”
“Well, it’s certainly not your house or mine,” laughed the speaker.
When Lu Yichen arrived at the Luo Family’s door, Stone was about to go out to use the restroom. Seeing Lu Yichen, he joyfully shouted into the house, “Sister, brother is here!”
Hearing the call, everyone in the house came out to the yard and saw Lu Yichen holding gifts. Luo Daoren said, “Come inside and sit, if you’re coming, you don’t need to bring anything.”
Lu Yichen said, “It’s the New Year, and it’s my way of paying respect to you as your junior.”
Luo Xuyuan went out early that morning, and nobody knew what he was busy with, while the eldest, Luo Xuyan, had gone to pay New Year’s visits to Professor Woo.
Truth be told, with age comes wisdom. The elderly couple had long noticed the subtle courtship between their granddaughter and Lu Yichen. But since their granddaughter had not mentioned it, they pretended not to know. After several interactions, they thought that apart from his age, Yichen was a boy without any other shortcomings.
Lu Yichen didn’t stay long at the Luo Family. Luo Qiao wanted to take advantage of Lu Yichen’s car to visit her master and the Yuan Family, as she had to travel south in a few days.
Stone had made plans with his friends for a hoop rolling competition today. Although he was tempted to join, he felt it wasn’t right to break his promise, so he waved them off and let them go.
Their first visit was to the master’s place, where Luo Qiao formally introduced Lu Yichen to her master and his wife. While Luo Qiao was busy helping in the kitchen, Old Master Yang called Lu Yichen into the study.
When the meal was ready, and the two came out of the study, Old Master Yang’s face was all smiles. Feng Shumin needed no further explanation; it was clear Yichen had passed the old man’s test.
The four of them had a cheerful lunch together, and afterward, Luo Qiao helped the master’s wife clean up in the kitchen. Feng Shumin asked, “Qiaoqiao, tell the truth to your master’s wife, do you like him?”
Luo Qiao spoke softly, “Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, he’s the one.”
Feng Shumin’s movements paused slightly, “As long as you like him, I have no objections. But you are still young, so it’s fine to date for now, but there are certain things that are non-negotiable.”
Luo Qiao smiled and said, “Master’s wife, I understand what you mean. We’ve already agreed to start dating, and if our feelings remain unchanged after I graduate from high school, we’ll get engaged. When I reach the legal age, we’ll get married. You know, he’s not getting any younger.”
Feng Shumin replied, “That’s good to hear. As long as you’re aware, that’s what matters. But people’s hearts can change, especially with such an age difference between you. Changes may happen in that time, and you need to be clear about that too.”
Luo Qiao understood very well that her master’s wife’s words today were for her own good. “Don’t worry, master’s wife. If his feelings change so easily, then it just means he’s not the right person for me. I’ll cut my losses in time and won’t hurt myself.”
Lu Yichen overheard their entire conversation, feeling like he’d been stabbed in the heart. The thought of her cutting losses in time made him feel suffocated.
