Chapter Twenty-Four: Every Man's Mind

Dinner was sumptuous, and although it was a traditional Chinese dish, everything looked mouth-watering – braised chestnut chicken, cordyceps duck pot, boiled shrimp, roasted fish in sauce, ginger rabbit, roasted custard abalone with autumn grapefruit, celery lotus root slices, Sixi tofu, cold purple cabbage, stir-fried seasonal vegetables.

"Recently, there is a new chef in the family, and his skills are very good, Xiao Li, you can try it and see if you like it." Zou Fang's eyes were a little expectant, at this time she was like a good grandmother who loved her grandson.

Lu Li didn't have a flattered expression, just grabbed a pair of chopsticks, chewed and ate slowly, "Well, it's okay." "It's not unpleasant to eat, but it doesn't seem to be particularly delicious if it's delicious, and it doesn't make people want to eat it.

"It's delicious, grandma doesn't know what you like to eat, so let the chef prepare a few good home-cooked dishes, eat more!" Zou Fang didn't seem to feel Lu Li's coldness, even if Lu Li didn't respond, she continued to talk to herself, and beckoned Lu Zifeng and Lu Yahan to eat more, as if she was a loving elder and the hostess of the family.

"Aunt Zou, I'll just come by myself." Zou Fang sandwiched a piece of fish meat for Lu Zifeng and put it in a bowl.

"Oh, okay, Aunt Zou forgot that Yahan is next to you, you are also a person who has a wife to take care of, Yahan, you can eat too!" Zou Fang looked at Lu Yahan, who didn't move chopsticks much, and said with a smile.

The more Zou Fang laughed, the more Lu Yahan had no appetite, Zou Fang also smiled like this and threw a check on her face, saying that if you see your own identity clearly, if you know each other, take the money and stay away from him, and it is also a person who smiles so good-looking and gentle in order to achieve his own goals, he can be so unscrupulous and ruthless.

"Don't have an appetite? If you don't feel like it, I'll make you some more food later. Lu Zifeng turned his head and whispered next to Lu Yahan's ear.

Lu Yahan was pulled back to her thoughts by the breath and words of the people around her, "I'm fine, it's delicious." After speaking, she moved the chopsticks in her hand to eat the meal, she said that she wanted to accompany him back, so she couldn't always control her memories and emotions, she wouldn't have the chance to hurt Xiao Li again, and she wouldn't have the opportunity to separate me and him. Thinking like this, Lu Yahan instantly felt that her appetite was much better.

His mother is protected by his father, he doesn't have to worry about it at all, Lu Li is tasting dish by dish, well, the juice of this fish meat is well adjusted, not only marinating the fish into the flavor, but also maintaining the umami and tenderness of the fish itself, and it is not greasy, it seems that some fruit peels are used, plus onions, ginger and garlic cooking wine to remove the fishy smell, and a little fruit juice should also be put into the soup, well, next time I try it, Lu Li thinks Li Qingqing should like this taste.

There are four people at a table, each with their own thoughts, but it must not be Zou Fang who is seriously eating, because she herself didn't eat much, but she drank a lot of red wine and said a lot of things, but no one at the dinner table felt warm and touching, Lu Zifeng is no longer a child, he really loved her when he was young, and later all he could do was to leave Zou Fang a decent and affectionate feeling, just thank you for her companionship and care over the years.

"Zifeng, it's rare for you to come back, Yahan and Xiao Li have only returned to Lu's house for the first time, why don't you stay at home for a few more days?" When the meal was almost finished, Zou Fang opened his mouth.

Lu Zifeng wiped his mouth and put the tissue on the table, "It depends on the situation, Aunt Zou, let's go back to the room first if there is nothing else." ”

"Eh, okay, you must be tired on the road today, go get some rest!" Zou Fang also got up and called Steward He to arrange for someone to clean up the meal.

Lu Li glanced at Zou Fang, and went upstairs without saying anything, but Zou Fang was very enthusiastic, "Xiao Li, you can rest well at night!" ”

Zou Fang looked at the three people who went upstairs, smiled amiably and gently, shook the red wine in his hand, and took a sip, you have rested, I can watch the show, Lu Yahan, Lu Yahan, you are sending it to the door and let me give it to you!

Zou Fang returned to the room, holding red wine, walking barefoot on the floor of the room, his eyes were slightly sloppy, Lu Yuxian, the Lu Group is a higher level in my hands, even if Zifeng is in power now, I will not have any complaints, because he is the rightful heir of the Lu family, I will not harm the Lu family, everything I do is for the Lu family, so I do not allow anyone to become a stumbling block to the Lu family...... Zou Fang was lying on the bed, her face flushed with drunkenness, and many scenes came to mind, the first time she saw Lu Yuxian, the first time she saw Lu Zifeng, and many fragments of their life together passed by in front of her like flowers.

In the room, Lu Li was talking to Li Qingqing on the phone, and Lu Li's voice was low, "Why haven't you slept yet?" ”

"I can't sleep, I always feel like I'm dreaming these two days, and it's a little unreal." Li Qingqing nested in the quilt, but her eyes were bright in the dark, and her hands unconsciously played with the necklace around her neck.

Lu Li smiled, "That girlfriend, what do you want me to do to feel real?" ”

Li Qingqing listened to the words "girlfriend" and Lu Li's words with a sense of banter, but her heart suddenly skipped a beat, "Who is your girlfriend?" Don't shout, I just feel like it's faster, it's all of a sudden, but it feels like we're supposed to be like this. ”

"Li Qingqing, don't think about Laipi, otherwise I will come to your house tomorrow to talk to Teacher Shen about our baby kiss." Lu Li was half-sitting and half-lying on the bed, and the warm-colored lamp light made his face look soft.

"I'm not a liar, Lu Li, how can you confess like that? However, for the sake of your very good girl, I will allow you to be my Li Qingqing's boyfriend! "Eating her meat, watching her fireworks, confessing to herself and hitching her up, this is not at all the same as the scene in the novel TV, but who makes himself like him?

In fact, Lu Li said that he liked the word liking for a long time, and he mustered up a lot of courage to say it, but it didn't seem to be as difficult as he imagined when he said it, "Then thank Miss Li for her kindness." What does the confession she wants look like? It seems that I have to ask Li Yunhao and Li Qingqing when the time comes, I am willing to do it for you if you want and what you want.

"Hahaha, Lu Li, you are too cooperative with me! It seems that if you stay with Li Yunhao for a long time, you will be infected with the demonic aura of his drama spirit. By the way, you have returned to the Lu family, your grandmother should be very good to you, right? "Li Qingqing knows a little bit about the Lu family from Teacher Shen, but that little bit is just that Lu Li's grandmother doesn't seem to like Aunt Yahan very much, it's really strange, how can someone like Aunt Yahan not like her? However, the elderly generally love their grandchildren more, and if Grandma Lu Li doesn't like Aunt Yahan anymore, she should feel sorry for this grandson!

"Well, that's good." I don't know if it's an illusion, Li Qingqing feels that Lu Li doesn't seem to have the joy of seeing his relatives who haven't seen him for many years, and he doesn't feel happy. Lu Li thought of his life with his mother in those years, he didn't like Zou Fang at all, no matter whether she really wanted to compensate him now, or pretended to treat him well, he would not be grateful or forgive, not to mention that such a shrewd woman who hated her mother could have no defenses and hostility towards a person who had neither blood nor been with him for a long time, and was already an adult? If it was true to him, I'm afraid that woman wouldn't believe it herself, right?

Some of the past is not so easy to forget, but it will always be rooted in your heart, reminding yourself of what kind of past it was, reminding yourself not to "make mistakes" again.

"Well, that's good, Lu Li, how long will you go back to class abroad? Do you still have to study abroad for two or three years? Li Qingqing suddenly remembered that according to the time difference, this time abroad should be the beginning of the school season, according to the school situation in China, Lu Li should be similar to me, so don't I want to fall in love across borders? !

"I'm graduating next year, but this year it's basically electives, so I have a lot of time, and I can complete the homework assigned by the teacher here. What's more, my dad is going to squeeze me out of this free labor. "So, I won't leave you for too long, Lu Li silently planned and allocated his time in his heart.

"What?! How can it be? You are only half a year older than me and Li Yunhao, is there also a talk of skipping grades abroad? Are you too good at learning? Li Qingqing was shocked, if I remember correctly, Lu Li was born in January 1991, I don't remember the specific day, but Lu Li graduated from primary school to Germany, and later in the United States, which means that this guy can speak Chinese, German, English?! In such a situation, I also skipped a grade, and with such an excellent boyfriend, the pressure seems to be a little great!

Lu Li raised his eyebrows, "Foreign countries are not the same as those in China, when my father found me and my mother to transfer me to the United States to go to school, he hired a teacher for me alone during the holidays, and later passed the entrance exam, you can also understand it as skipping a grade to study, plus the university I am studying at now is a credit system, so I will graduate earlier than you and Li Yunhao." ”

Li Qingqing over there was silent, and Lu Li continued, "Li Qingqing, are you happy that you have such a powerful boyfriend?" ”

The silent Li Qingqing choked, in fact, she was counting Lu Li's school age with her fingers, but she found that her fingers didn't seem to be enough...... Forget it! "Lu Li, why didn't you find out that you still have a habit of narcissism before?" However, it seems to be a little happy, after all, such a high-IQ person is his boyfriend! She always knew that Lu Li was very smart, but she didn't expect to be so smart, it must be that her genes are relatively good, but Mr. Shen and Mr. Li's genes don't seem to be bad, is she picking up ordinary genes in hereditary?

"Alright, it's not early, let's go to bed! I'll tell you when I go back to school. The expression on Lu Li's face was still gentle and a little smiling.

"Well, Lu Li, good night." After Li Qingqing heard Lu Li also say good night, she hung up the phone with a smile, and after a while, she chatted with Zhou Gong, I don't know what she dreamed of, the corners of Li Qingqing's mouth in her sleep were crooked. Probably that's what it feels like to be in love! When you hear each other's voices, you will also feel at ease, and with such a person, it seems that the mood is not something you can control.

Lu Zifeng and Lu Yahan had just finished doing something loving, Lu Yahan nested obediently in Lu Zifeng's arms, "Husband, I really like Qingqing's child, I can see that my son also likes Qingqing, from the time this kid was in elementary school, I knew that he was different from Qingqing, but now these two children are still in school, otherwise I really want them to get married now, I will definitely design the most beautiful wedding dress for Qingqing, so that she can become the most beautiful bride in the world." ”

Lu Zifeng stroked Lu Yahan's soft hair, and when he heard Lu Yahan's words, his hand paused, he hadn't given Lu Yahan a decent wedding, nor had he let her wear a wedding dress, he owed her a lot, "It's not bad to talk about love now, and when Qingqing graduates from university, it's not too late for the two children to get married." ”

Isn't it too late? It's just a hurry, right? In other words, it's useless to be a parent in a hurry when it comes to getting married, you still have to look at the children themselves!

Lu Yahan rubbed Lu Zifeng's arm, "Well, that's right, the children are all older, and they can make their own decisions, anyway, I think Qingqing is the daughter-in-law." Husband, you see how smart I am, I have set this good marriage for our children so early. "Lu Yahan has a somewhat obedient appearance, although Lu Yahan is no longer a young girl, but her own temperament and appearance are very natural and cute, but the most important thing is that the object of her coquettish behavior is Lu Zifeng.

Although it was just a joke between the two girls back then, when the words came true, the feeling in my heart was really subtle.

"Yes, our Xiaohan is the smartest." Lu Zifeng's words were dyed with a smile, Lu Yahan looked up at Lu Zifeng, but his eyes were a little sour, although this man is over forty years old, but the years have brought him more maturity and perseverance, the young and arrogant boy has become a piece of heaven that he can rely on, and has become his lover who will walk the rest of his life hand in hand, "Husband, our children will be very happy, I hope they don't miss too much time like us, in that way, there will always be some regrets." ”

Lu Yahan's voice was very soft, as if she was muttering to herself, but Lu Zifeng heard it very clearly, and didn't say anything, just hugged the person in her arms, patted her back gently, and coaxed her to sleep. Feeling that the breathing of his beloved wife in his arms gradually stabilized, Lu Zifeng still hugged her, thinking of his past with Lu Yahan, and thinking of his son's small movements recently, his expression calmed down, and he turned his head sideways and kissed Lu Yahan's eyebrows.

Xiaohan, I can't go back to the past, I can only make up for the mistakes I made back then, and I will not let you have regrets in the future. I believe that our children will be happy, will not suffer the injuries we have suffered again, and we will be happy in the future.
