Chapter 38: A Year Later
(Maopu Chinese) in a restaurant in Los Angeles. Lu Jingci smiled at the cake in front of him, and He Ze and Xiaoyang clapped their hands together and sang a birthday song.
After finishing the song, He Chuze leaned forward slightly to look at her
"Make a wish!"
"Make a wish, make a wish!" Xiao Yang echoed on the side.
"Okay." She smiled and nodded, folded her hands on her chest, fascinated her eyes, silently made a wish, and then opened her eyes and blew out the candle in front of her.
"Happy Birthday!" He Chuze looked at her with a smile.
"Happy Birthday! Mom! The little one cheered too. Lu Jingci smiled and said
"Thank you!"
"Mom, cut the cake quickly, Xiaoyang wants to eat the cake!" The little guy couldn't wait.
"Little glutton!" Lu Jingci said, but still cut the cake and gave it to the little guy.
"Don't eat too much, you're just recovering."
"Hmm...... All right! Although the little guy was dissatisfied, he didn't say anything, obediently obedient, and said again,
"Mom, then you remember to give Uncle He a big one, Uncle He flew here to celebrate your birthday."
"Got it." Lu Jingci smiled, and then picked the largest piece, said,
"Big enough!" He Chuze took the cake and said
"Actually, I came here today, in addition to celebrating Jing Ci's birthday, there is one more thing."
"What's the matter?" Lu Jingci couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Wait a minute!" He blinked mysteriously, then reached into his coat, then took out an off-white envelope from it and put it in front of Lu Jingci.
"This is ......" Lu Jingci picked up the envelope, opened it, and said that it was an invitation-like paper, she opened it and saw that it was actually a letter of invitation.
"Jing Ci, I want to invite you to return to China and go to my company as the chief designer." He said.
"Designer?" He nodded
"Well, our company recently wanted to hire a talented and capable designer, and I thought of you as the first candidate, and I think you are a good fit."
"Really?" Lu Jingci twisted his eyebrows and said. He Chuze smiled
"Of course, your talent is undeniable, and the products you design are selling well in Europe and the United States, which is also something that cannot be denied."
"Mom, let's go back to China!" The little one also spoke,
"I miss my grandmother and grandfather!" Hearing this, Lu Jingci pursed her lips and hesitated, thinking that she should also go back, her parents are now old, and they should have a child by their side, and Xiaoyang's body has recovered almost after surgery.
"How about accepting my offer?" He Chuze asked again. She pursed her lips and nodded
"Okay, I accept it."
"Yay!" The little one cheered.
"Great, welcome to Jinrong." He Chuze also smiled and stretched out his hand to her. Lu Jingci smiled and shook his hand.
A week later, the plane landed slowly at the capital airport, and Lu Jingci led the little guy to re-embark on this land.
The two took their luggage, and the little guy looked up and asked
"Mom, will Uncle He come to pick us up?"
"No, Uncle He is not in the imperial capital at this time." Lu Jingci said with a smile. Hearing this, the little guy said curiously
"Oh? Who's that? Lu Jingci smiled mysteriously
"You'll find out when you see you later." At the same time, in another part of the airport, Fu Shaoting walked in front, Chen Yu walked to the back with his suitcase, and reported the itinerary to him for a while.
"President, let's go back to the company later, there is a meeting at 10:40, at half past one in the afternoon, you and Mr. Zhang of Heyi will meet at our Xinrui restaurant downstairs......" Fu Shaoting listened to him, took out his mobile phone, and just wanted to make a call, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a woman in white holding a little boy in the crowd in the distance, he was stunned, and then pulled his legs and chased in that direction.
Chen Yu was halfway through his speech, and when he saw him suddenly running away, he was startled, and hurriedly chased after him. Fu Shaoting swept through the crowd, and finally arrived at the place where the mother and son were just now, but the mother and son were nowhere to be seen, he searched in the crowd, trying to find the mother and son again, but they seemed to have evaporated from the world, and they couldn't find a trace of them again.
Chen Yu caught up with him panting with his luggage, and couldn't help but ask when he looked left and right as if he was looking for something
President...... How do you... Why did you run away all of a sudden? What are you looking for? Fu Shaoting looked around again, but he still couldn't find them, he retracted his gaze in a daze, and said
"It's okay, I read it wrong, let's go."
"Huh? What is wrong? He looked around suspiciously.
"It's okay, you can continue with what you just did." Fu Shaoting said. Seeing that he didn't want to say, he was too embarrassed to ask again as a subordinate, so he nodded
"Oh, good. After you signed the contract with Gu, it was Miss Qiao's birthday in the evening, and she asked you to celebrate her birthday with her at the Rose Restaurant, do you go or not? Hearing this, Fu Shaoting thought for a while and said
"Go ahead."
"Okay!" Fu Shaoting's mind at this time was full of the figures of the mother and son just now, both in shape and side face, they were very similar to Ah Ci and Xiaoyang, could it really be that he was wrong just now?
Or was he hallucinating? Here, Lu Jingci walked out of the airport with the little guy, looked left and right, but couldn't see Tang Xinmu's car, and was about to take out her mobile phone to call her, when she saw her car stop on the side of the road, got out of the car and waved to them!
"Porcelain! Xiaoyang! She shouted excitedly, ran up quickly, and hugged you Lu Jingci.
"Porcelain, you're finally back!" After hugging Lu Jingci, she turned around and hugged Xiaoyang again, excited
"My precious son! Godmom is about to kill you! Kiss one first! She pouted and went to the little one's face, and although the little one looked disgusted, he still didn't dodge, and wrinkled his face to let her kiss.
"Alright, let's get in the car, it's cold outside." Lu Jingci said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, yes! Walk! Hearing this, Tang Xinmu realized it and helped them with their luggage. Tang Xinmu sent them back to the Lu family, and the Lu family's parents were very excited to see their daughter after a year, and Mu Jing was so excited that she couldn't control her tears.
"Little porcelain, you're finally back." Lu Jingci's eyes were also red
"Dad, Mom, I'm back!"
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back......" Lu Jilin nodded. Because of their return, the Lu family suddenly became lively, Tang Xinmu left after eating, and not long after she left, the doorbell rang.
The servant went to open the door, and after a while came in again, and said respectfully
"Madam, there is a gentleman outside who wants to find Miss, saying that he is a friend of Miss." Lu Jingci asked
"Huh? Did he say what his name was? ”
"He said his surname was Ho."
"The surname is He...... It's Hatsuzawa. Hearing this, Lu Jingci immediately knew who it was, and hurriedly got up and said,
"Mom, my friend is here, I'm going to invite him in."
"Okay." Mu Jing smiled and nodded. Lu Jingci went to the door, and it was really He Chuze standing outside the door, surprised
"Didn't you say you wouldn't be back until tomorrow?" He smiled
"The work was completed a day early, and I came back, I just came from the airport, and I came to look for you immediately, and I didn't disturb you to reunite with your family, right?"
"How so? Come on in. Lu Jingci said, beckoning to him to let him in. Lu Jingci took him to the living room, and when the little guy saw him, he immediately rushed towards him!
"Uncle He!"
"Ouch!" He Chuze even caught him and held him in his hand. The parents of the Lu family watched the interaction between the three of them, looked at each other, confirmed each other's guesses, and suddenly had a little smile on their faces.
"Dad, Mom, this is He Chuze, my friend, who used to be Xiaoyang's attending doctor." Lu Jingci introduced,
"Hatsuawa, this is my parents."
"Hello uncle, hello aunt!" He Chuzeli bowed politely to the two.
"Hey, hello." The Lu family's parents nodded with a smile, and Mu Jing said,
"Sit, sit, don't stand." The couple used a way for their father-in-law and mother-in-law to meet their future son-in-law, asking back and forth, which made Lu Jingci a little embarrassed, but He Chuze did not show the slightest embarrassment, he was humble and polite throughout the whole process, and asked and answered.
The more Mu Jing looked at this future son-in-law candidate, the more she liked it, and then she had the opportunity to call Lu Jingci to the kitchen halfway.
"Let me tell you, this friend of yours is really good, tell me quickly, what has come of it between you?" She asked with a gossip on her face.
"What is it?" Lu Jingci twisted his eyebrows and didn't have a good airway,
"Also, I also want to talk about you and Dad, the first time people come to our house, why do you just check your household registration, how bad is this!"
"What's wrong? Mom and Dad are helping you check the gates, and your dad and I both think this guy is good! People are good-looking, have a good personality, are gentle and modest, polite, and have a good family background! Mu Jing said, and looked out.
Lu Jingci knew that her parents had misunderstood her relationship with He Chuze, and said helplessly
"Okay, Mom, between me and Chu Ze, it's just a friend, there is no deeper relationship, you and Dad don't mess around with the mandarin duck spectrum, you remember to tell Dad, don't ask again, how embarrassing!"
"Where's the embarrassment! No one is embarrassed, what are you embarrassed! Besides, where is the mandarin duck spectrum of parents messing around, we can see that people like you. Mu Jing retorted dissatisfied,
"Tell me about you, you're 29 years old this year, and it's time to find a man to marry, it just so happens that Xiao Ze likes you, and he doesn't dislike you with a son, how good, what are you still doing there!"
"I... Where am I hypocritical? I'm responsible for me and him, I don't love him and he is with him, am I being irresponsible to others? Lu Jingci said helplessly.
"Okay, you and Dad don't mix blindly anymore, I will watch my own life's events!" She said.
"What do I call blind mixture?" Mu Jing was dissatisfied and was about to refute, but Lu Jingci had already walked out with flower tea.
Later, Lu Jingci finally got rid of the torture of his parents and took He Chuze to the back garden.
"Hatsuawa, I'm sorry, my parents thought you were my boyfriend, so they kept asking." She said with some embarrassment.
"It's okay, anyway, I'm trying to become your boyfriend now, so I should experience it in advance!" He Chuze said with a smile.
Hearing this, Lu Jingci subconsciously lowered his head to escape, and then immediately changed the topic
"By the way, you came to me, is there anything else?" knew that she was deliberately changing the subject, but he didn't debunk it, and followed her meaning, Dao?
"Aren't you going to the company tomorrow to take up a formal position, I plan to take you to our company's store in the afternoon."
"Oh...... Good. Lu Jingci nodded,
"Then I'll go change my clothes, let's go, or my parents will have to ask again." He Chuze couldn't help but laugh
"Okay." Lu Jingci left the little guy at home, and then left with Lu Jingci, Mu Jing heard that she was going out with He Chuze, and felt that the two must be going on a date, and she was so happy in her heart.
Jin Rong is a high-end fashion jewelry company, and He Chuze took her to one of the largest stores in the city.
Lu Jingci was walking slowly, looking at the products in the display case, and the staff introduced the latest season's products to her, and she listened very carefully.
He Chuze followed her, looking at her with a smile, admiring her serious appearance, focused and exuding a tranquil atmosphere, his eyes never left him, and he did not hide the love in his eyes.
At this time, the staff was explaining to her the rings in the ring counter. Lu Jingci looked at one of the rings that was placed on the display table in the center, and said with some surprise
"This ...... My teacher's work! He Chuze smiled and nodded
"That's right, you don't know, I wasted a lot of effort to invite you out of the mountain, it's not enough to describe it after three visits to the thatched house, there is a whole set of this series over there."
"Okay, I'll have to check it out later." Lu Jingci said with a smile. Here, Chen Yu looked at Fu Shaoting in the back seat through the rearview mirror and sighed.
Fu Shaoting looked straight at the store across the road, the two people who were talking in the ring display case area.
It turned out that she had really come back, it turned out that he was not wrong in the morning, and it was not a hallucination, she really came back!
I haven't seen her for a year, she has become more and more mature, I don't know what He Chuze said, she covered her mouth and laughed, He Chuze rubbed her head.
Looking at the frustrated melancholy look on his president's face, Chen Yu couldn't help but scream
"President's ......"
"Let's go." His lips twitched slightly. Chen Yu hesitated for a moment and nodded
"Yes." In the evening, He Chuze took Lu Jingci and the little guy out to eat. He raised his glass and said
"Congratulations on joining the company tomorrow and being a part of our Jinrong, and congratulations to me for finally being able to work with you!" Hearing this, Lu Jingci couldn't help laughing, and also raised his wine glass
"Well, congratulations to you and congratulations to me! Rejoice! The little one followed them and lifted the juice
"Rejoice! Cheers! The three of them touched their glasses, and there was not much red wine in their glasses, so they drank it all, and the little guy saw that they both drank it in one gulp, and wanted to learn from them in one sip, but they were stopped by Lu Jingci, which made the two laugh.
"Hmm...... You bully me with more juice than you guys! The little guy pouted.
"Juice is not the same as red wine, it's not bullying Xiaoyang." He Chuze said with a smile. Hearing this, the little guy immediately said
"Then I'm going to drink red wine too!"
"No, you can't! Children are not allowed to drink! Lu Jingci immediately pressed his hand and said with a serious expression.
Seeing this, the little guy was unhappy for a moment before nodding obediently
"Hmm...... Okay then, I'll drink it when I'm older. ”
"Xiaoyang is so good!" He Chuze rubbed his little head with relief. …… Here, Qiao Guanyue arrived at the restaurant where she celebrated her birthday in the evening, she got out of the car, and it happened that Fu Shaoting also arrived, she was overjoyed, and immediately stepped forward to hold his hand.
"Shaoting!" She took his hand and smiled joyfully,
"I didn't expect us to be so synchronized and get here together!" Fu Shaoting smiled slightly, quietly withdrew his hand, and said
"Let's go inside."
"Hmm!" She nodded, and this time tried to hold his hand, but he dodged it again. Qiao Guanyue looked at his back, stomped his feet in anger, let loose his anger, and then quickly chased after him.
A year ago, she originally thought that as long as Shao Ting and Lu Jingci divorced, Shao Ting would belong to her again, and everything would return to the way it was when there was no Lu Jingci at the beginning.
After the failure of the marriage proposal, she was not discouraged, anyway, now Shao Ting is the only one by her side, as long as she takes the initiative, he will forget Lu Jingci, and she will return to the beginning, she firmly believes that her ten-year relationship with Shao Ting is not comparable to the relationship between him and Lu Jingci for more than a month.
But what she didn't expect was that in this year, no matter how active she was, how hard she tried, openly and secretly, he never touched her again, and when he was with her, he kept a distance from her all the time.
She didn't believe that there would be no way for her to take him! She was thinking like this, and suddenly saw that over there, Lu Jingci was sitting there, and she was stunned, thinking that she had seen it wrong.
She took a look, and then confirmed that it was really Lu Jingci, and she was back? How did she come back? She was about to be vigilant in her heart, when she suddenly saw the person sitting opposite her, as well as Xiaoyang, the three of them looked happy, if they didn't know, they thought they were a family of three.
As she walked, she suddenly felt the footsteps of the people around her, she looked up, and saw that Fu Shaoting was also looking over there.
She suddenly had a plan and laughed
"Shaoting, look, that's Miss Lu? She's back! Let's go and say hello! Fu Shaoting just wanted to say no, but her arm was held by her, and she walked over to them when she brought him back.
The three of them were talking, and suddenly two people came to the table, and they all looked at each other, and they were all stunned.
"What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here!" Qiao Guanyue's hand held Fu Shaoting's hand tightly, for fear that he would withdraw his hand.
He Chuze quickly recovered and said with a smile
"Yes, what a coincidence, Mr. Fu." Lu Jingci looked at the person in front of her, and was in a trance for a while, in this year in the United States, she was about to forget about him, and when she thought of the first day she returned to China, she met ......
"A porcelain ......" Fu Shaoting looked at her and opened his mouth. Hearing his voice, Lu Jingci immediately recovered, lowered his eyes, but happened to see the arms of the two people clinging to each other.
She immediately looked away and pursed her lips before she raised her head to look at him, and said in a generous manner
"Long time no see."
"Long time no see......," he said in a daze, and then looked at Xiao Yang, who looked much more energetic and taller than he had been a year ago.
Lu Jingci looked at the little guy and said lightly
"Xiaoyang, say hello." The little one obediently opened his mouth and shouted
"Daddy."
"Hey, your heart ......" he smiled and looked at him.
"My heart is fine, my illness is cured." The little guy said from the good. Hearing this, he smiled and nodded
"Well, that's good." Qiao Guanyue watched their greetings from the side, looking at him in a trance, and couldn't help but open his mouth to break the quiet atmosphere
"Shao Ting, you see Miss Lu and their happy appearance, I don't know that I think they are a family!" She smiled and said,
"Miss Lu and this Mr. He shouldn't really be in a relationship, right?" Hearing this, Fu Shaoting was stunned again, and looked at the two of them, the clothes on the two of them were quite matched, like a couple's outfit, remembering that they were bargaining in the afternoon and the two of them were shopping for rings together, are they really dating?
When Lu Jingci heard this, although he didn't admit it and didn't deny it, he just sat quietly. He Chuze looked at the faint voice on her face, pursed his lips, and said with a smile
"Miss Qiao is really good at reading, and she can see at a glance that the relationship between us is not ordinary." Hearing him say this, he thought that he had really guessed it, and immediately laughed from ear to ear
"Hehehe...... You are so matched, even the clothes are the same color, and the patterns also echo, at first glance, it is a couple's outfit, I can't see it, it's difficult! He Chuze looked at Lu Jingci with a smile, put his hand lightly on the back of her hand, and said
"Ah Ci, did you hear it, others also think we are a good match."
"Hmm." Lu Jingci smiled slightly, and did not withdraw his hand.
"Yes, Shaoting, you said, Miss Lu and He are always not a good match?" She tugged Fu Shaoting's hand slightly, pulled his soul back, she looked up at him with a smile, everyone Lu Jingci already has a new love, this time see if you still die!
Lu Jingci was stunned for a while before he let out an insincere sound from the bottom of his throat
"Hmm......" he said, feeling like he couldn't stay any longer
"Yueyue, let's go!" Seeing that he looked lonely, Qiao Guanyue hooked her lips with pride, and then nodded
"Well, good. Miss Lu, Mr. He, Shao Ting and I won't bother you. ”
"Hmm." He Chuze smiled and nodded. When the two of them walked away, Lu Jingci slowly withdrew his hand from under him.
He Chuze felt the cool air suddenly vacated by this subordinate, and someone pulled his hand back, looked at her, and said
"Jing Ci, I just said something without your consent, don't mind." Lu Jingci raised his head to look at him and smiled slightly
"It's okay, I know it all." Obviously feeling that her mood had become a little low, He Chuze was still not very lively, and just smiled
"Well, that's good, eat it, don't get cold." …… The next day, the first day of work, Lu Jingci dressed herself up, although she is now nearly 30, but she has never worked, today is the first day she entered the workplace, she can't suppress the faint excitement in her heart.
