Chapter 666: Get Engaged First
Xia Yunsheng was sitting in the living room. When he heard the noise outside, he looked towards the door involuntarily.
Xu Wanning took a sip of flower tea from a gorgeous retro European teacup. He saw through it but didn't say it.
Xiaoke and Xiaoai followed Li Guanjia into the house first. When they saw Xu Wanning and Lu Zhenglin in the room, they immediately greeted them with a smile, "Hello, grandpa and grandma, hello, Aunt Xia."
"Grandma's good grandson and granddaughter, you haven't come to see me for so many days."
Xu Wanning opened her arms and hugged Xiaoke and Xiaoai.
"But I miss grandma in my heart. I give you a little heart."
As she said that, Xiaoai put her two little hands together, made a heart shape on her chest, and held it in front of Xu Wanning.
Xu Wanning smiled immediately, and her usual rigidity and dignity were replaced by kindness.
"Grandma, where is great grandfather?"
"He's in the study."
"Let's go see great grandfather."
Xiaoke and Xiaoai ran into Mr. Lu's study again.
Xia Yunsheng looked at the door, but was afraid that he would be too deliberate. But the moment Lu Juefeng came in, all her eyes were still attracted by him.
"Juefeng, you're back."
Lu Juefeng looked at Xia Yunsheng, his expression was so indifferent that he almost looked at a stranger, "Are you feeling better?"
Xia Yunsheng was a little surprised. She didn't expect Lu Juefeng to care about her. She immediately smiled gently and said, "The cold is gone, but my feet hurt a little. It will be fine after a few days."
Lu Juefeng nodded.
Xu Wanning was slightly surprised when she heard what Lu Juefeng said to Xia Yunsheng. It's difficult for this son to take the initiative to talk to other women.
However, Xia Yunsheng was his first love, and the treatment was indeed different.
Her eyes turned between Lu Juefeng and Xia Yunsheng. The man was talented and the woman was beautiful, a hundred times better than Bai Zhi.
She secretly pulled Lu Zhenglin, and Lu Zhenglin's expression remained calm.
Xu Wanning felt bored and glanced at the time, "Sister Zhang, dinner is ready."
"Yes, ma'am."
At the table, Mr. Lu sat at the top seat, with Lu Zhenglin and Xu Wanning on his left, Lu Juefeng and Xia Yunsheng on his right, and Xiaoke and Xiaoai sitting next to Lu Juefeng and Xu Wanning respectively.
Xu Wanning glanced at Lu Juefeng and didn't see any intimacy between him and Xia Yunsheng, the atmosphere was a bit dull.
She had to start the topic first, "Yunsheng looks more and more elegant. I saw a wedding dress at the show a few days ago. I think you will look better than the model if you wear it."
"Auntie, don't joke. How can I look better than the model?"
Xia Yunsheng pursed her lips and smiled, realizing that Xu Wanning had something to say, and immediately became very alert, hoping that Xu Wanning thought the same as she did.
Xu Wanning had an ambiguous smile on her lips, "When you become a bride, you will naturally be the most beautiful in the world. I just feel that you and Juefeng have gone around in circles and are still back to the starting point. Fate is something that you can't help but believe in. When will you hold the wedding?"
Xia Yunsheng paused slightly, her excited heartbeat accelerated, and she almost couldn't hold the chopsticks.
She secretly glanced at Lu Juefeng and found that he looked indifferent and didn't show any emotions, and she began to feel uncertain again.
"Aunt Xu, it's too fast to hold the wedding now."
Xia Yunsheng lowered her eyes with a guilty conscience, "Besides, it was my fault at the beginning. I left Jiangcheng quietly and now suddenly appeared again. It's unfair to Juefeng to talk about marriage right after returning."
"Speaking of this, Auntie wants to ask why you left that year?"
Xia Yunsheng glanced at Xu Wanning in surprise. She had already talked about this question in the afternoon.
Meeting Xu Wanning's meaningful eyes, she immediately realized that Xu Wanning was helping her.
She concealed her inner ecstasy and brewed a helpless emotion, "I didn't want to leave Juefeng either, but I was sick at that time. I knew Juefeng was not a heartless person. If I couldn't die, staying with him would only drag him down. In my heart, he should have the best. I was afraid that he would worry about me, so I chose to leave quietly. But every minute and every second I was away from him, I was thinking about him. During the days of fighting the disease, my weight was even less than 40 kilograms. Looking at myself in the mirror, I couldn't help but feel disgusted. But it was during that time that I figured out that I would never love anyone else in my life except Juefeng. So, when the doctor said I recovered, I came back without hesitation."
The atmosphere at the table suddenly became a little solemn.
Lu Zhenglin frowned slightly, "There is such a thing."
There was a touch of sympathy in his eyes when he looked at Xia Yunsheng.
Grandpa Lu didn't say a word, his old and sharp eyes turned around Xia Yunsheng's face, and then returned to Lu Juefeng.
He wanted to know what this grandson's attitude was. But the girl is crazy about him, why doesn't this guy react at all? The gray beard trembled at the corner of his lips. Alas, young people nowadays...
Xu Wanning took out a tissue and handed it to Xia Yunsheng.
Xia Yunsheng realized his loss of composure and apologized quickly, "I'm sorry, I... I shouldn't say this..."
"It's okay, you are a good child. When you broke up with Juefeng, I guessed all the possibilities of your leaving Juefeng, but I didn't expect it to be this. I knew you were not a heartless and ungrateful person, which is much more precious than those who only know how to climb up the social ladder."
Xu Wanning looked at Lu Juefeng meaningfully, and said, "Juefeng, since Yunsheng is back, you must cherish her."
Lu Juefeng still had no extra expression on his face. He picked up three shrimps for Xiaoai, some green vegetables for Xiaoke, and carefully picked out all the ginger.
It seemed that he didn't hear Xia Yunsheng's crying at all.
For a moment, Xia Yunsheng's face was a little embarrassed. He was like a clown, performing hard, but only Xu Wanning applauded and cheered alone.
It would be better if there was nothing.
Xu Wanning looked at Lu Juefeng's indifferent look and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Who was she worrying about?
Facing Lu Juefeng's cold expression, she restrained her anger, "Juefeng, if you think it's too urgent to get married, why don't you get engaged first."
Mr. Lu's calm expression finally moved slightly, "Juefeng, what do you think? You and Yunsheng are childhood sweethearts, and there is news about you two on the Internet. Do you agree to say a word? Don't delay others."
Hearing the words of the oldest elder of the Lu family, Xia Yunsheng's dead face rekindled hope.
Lu Juefeng put down his chopsticks and looked at Xia Yunsheng.
Xia Yunsheng was nervous and smiled at Lu Juefeng.
This smile did not contain Xia Yunsheng's usual pride and brightness. Her eyes were full of attachment, and even a little inferiority.
It was as if he was the only light in her world. Without him, her world would collapse.
Lu Juefeng frowned subconsciously, "Get engaged first."
Xia Yunsheng could hardly believe her ears.
What she had longed for for so long was actually coming true.
Was it a dream?
