131 I’ll Send You Back First
Lù Yue’an tugged Shi Qingyue’s arm. “Grandpa won’t know if you don’t tell, right, Mommy?”
Shi Qingyue had little choice but to nod and agree. “Alright, fine. Then don’t be too late, today’s your big day.”
Lù Yue’an nodded and smiled sweetly. “Then can I invite Brother to my banquet tonight? I promise I’ll be discreet, I definitely won’t let anyone discover him!”
She looked at Shi Qingyue with a pair of innocent eyes. Shi Qingyue did not agree, but she did not say anything either.
!!
“Try not to attract too much attention; have him leave after you cut the cake. You mustn’t let your grandfather find out, understand?”
Lù Yue’an immediately nodded. “Thank you, Mommy! Mommy’s the best!”
As she spoke, she gave Shi Qingyue a peck on the cheek, turned around, and ran out.
Shi Qingyue touched the spot where she kissed her, and smiled. She turned around and went back to work.
…
Lu Qing checked his watch for the sixth time.
Shen Yunci and Lu Zhi had reminded him repeatedly today that he had to accompany them to bring Lu Ning home, and celebrate her birthday.
However, Lù Yue’an had called him two days earlier and asked him to accompany her to the amusement park to celebrate her birthday today. He had previously promised her that he would attend her eighteenth birthday, and also satisfy one of her requests; and Lù Yue’an’s request was for him to accompany her to the amusement park to play.
Lu Qing did some mental calculations; the amusement park closed at six o’clock, but Lù Yue’an seemed to have a birthday party today so she would definitely head back early. At that point, he would still have time to pick Lu Ning from the hospital.
Lu Qing knew that this was Lu Ning’s first birthday since she came home, and it was also her eighteenth birthday. Shen Yunci and Lu Zhi valued it a lot, and he did not wish to dampen their spirits. Moreover, it was Lu Ning’s birthday, and he did not want her to be unhappy. Besides, he had also planned to go back and celebrate her birthday with her.
However, no matter how much he calculated, he could not anticipate Lù Yue’an’s actions.
Lù Yue’an got out of the car and ran over towards Lu Qing. She was wearing a long pink dress; now that the weather had become cold she also draped on a shawl, which made her look sweet and adorable.
“Brother, you must’ve waited for a long time. Let’s go in!”
She held Lu Qing’s arm and pulled him to the entrance of the amusement park.
“Brother, you brought your camera, right? You’ve got to take more photos for me.”
Lu Qing nodded and agreed.
Lù Yue’an noticed how he was acting. “Brother, do you have something on? Why don’t you go handle it first?”
Lu Qing was silent for a second before he smiled and patted her head. “I’m fine. Let’s go, which do you want to play first?”
Lù Yue’an immediately smiled and held his arm again. “This way, let’s play this first!”
…
An energetic Lù Yue’an dragged him around to play for the entire day; only when it was time for the park to close did the two of them come out.
When they emerged from the amusement park, Lù Yue’an suddenly thought of something and tugged Lu Qing’s hand—she glanced at the time on his watch. “It’s over! I’m going to be late! Brother, can you send me home first?!”
Lu Qing looked at her dubiously. “Where’s your chauffeur? Didn’t he wait for you?”
Lù Yue’an anxiously tapped her feet. “I had him head back first because I didn’t want him to wait for too long, and I asked him to come pick me up after he receives my call. In the end, I forgot the time; it must be very late now. Brother, is it inconvenient for you? I can take a taxi back by myself.”
Her eyes reddened as she became increasingly discomfited. Lu Qing looked at her helplessly and pulled her along. “I’ll send you back first.”
Lù Yue’an ran alongside him, not forgetting to say, “Thank you, Brother!”
