Chapter 104 No Chase

The private room fell into a deathly silence.

Huo Huai'an met Gu Suixing's gaze and was immediately speechless.

"..."

You're such a patriarch.

Huo Huai was silent for a moment, then asked in a deep voice, "Before the college entrance exam, you told me that you would pursue her after the exam. After the exam, we went back to City A first. Lu Nian didn't come back until close to the start of the semester, and less than a week later you told me that you two were together... Can I ask you how many days it took you to pursue her back then?"

Gu Suixing kept a straight face and uttered two words: "I didn't pursue her."

Huo Huai'an: "?"

I definitely didn't pursue it.

Gu Suixing's birthday was at the end of August. At that time, Old Madam Lu was sick and hospitalized. Lu Fengqing stayed in S City to take care of her and only rushed to A City on the day of his coming-of-age ceremony.

Lu Fengqing's coming-of-age ceremony was almost over when he arrived. Under his parents' cover, he left early. After leaving, Lu Fengqing dragged him to eat some roadside barbecue. On the way home, they naturally held hands. When they got home, they deliberately didn't turn on the lights and kissed in the dark. Then, Lu Fengqing tricked him into going back to his room by saying that the guest room hadn't been cleaned.

The next morning, he went downstairs for a drink of water and, finding it too troublesome, didn't put on a shirt. His parents, who were home getting something, caught him red-handed, leaving him covered in scratches. His father, furious, yelled at him for being shameless and chased him with a baseball bat for over half an hour. Luckily, his father had to rush to a meeting at the company, otherwise his leg would have been broken...

In short, he completed in just a few hours all the steps that other couples might take months to finish.

If he hadn't been under the legal age, he would have taken her to get the marriage certificate the next day, giving his parents a whirlwind marriage gift.

Their eyes met for a moment, and Huo Huai'an, who had thought he had been chasing her for at least a week, was speechless.

That's absolutely outrageous!

Huo Huai'an took a deep breath and pointed at Gu Suixing, "Spoiled."

The ancestor actually nodded in agreement, "Hmm."

That's because they're used to it.

Lu Fengqing had always given Gu Suixing whatever she wanted since they were young, and she was also shy and said one thing but meant another. As a result, Gu Suixing had no concept of "ritual" at all. She always thought that the way to pamper a woman was to be loyal to her, grant her every request, and give her the best. She never thought of anything else.

Huo Huai'an felt a throbbing pain in his temples.

What?! If Lu Nian were his own sister, he would beat this bastard to death.

Huo Huai'an silently repeated three times in his heart that the person in front of him was his cousin. After a long while, he let out a heavy sigh and said earnestly, "Rituals are very important to women. Just because Lu Nian didn't care before doesn't mean she won't care in the future. All the perfunctory treatment and neglect you gave her in the past may become old grievances and unresolved issues that she will pick on you for later."

“Lu Nian is very vain. Besides money, her favorite thing is to show off and make others envious and jealous.” Huo Huai’an paused, then began to coax her gently: “Besides, Lu Nian should have what other women have, shouldn’t she?”

Gu Suixing seemed to be deep in thought.

Huo Huai'an secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his ancestor had taken his advice.

He's having such a tough time.

A single guy has to teach others how to win over their girlfriends.

Gu Suixing remembered what Huo Huai'an said and went back to search for marriage proposal information online.

Looking at the marriage proposal process described online, seeing words like "kneeling on one knee" and "heartfelt confession," Gu Suixing closed her laptop, turned off the lights, and went to sleep.

[Shouldn't Lu Nian have the same things that other girls have?]

Huo Huai'an's words echoed in my ears once again.

Gu Suixing was silent for two seconds, then sat up again and turned on the computer again.

It's said that money can solve 99% of the world's problems, but death and women must belong to the remaining 1% that can't be solved.

Before she could even coax the person back to their senses, she found herself with another task on top of her busy schedule. Gu Suixing rubbed her temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

-

Xie Chao's yacht was always maintained by a specialist and was always ready to use. Xie Chao planned to take Lu Fengqing out after breakfast.

Lu Fengqing was still wearing Xie Chaowan's clothes, an apricot-colored cheongsam that fit her well except for being a little tight at the chest.

She had countless haute couture pieces in her wardrobe, but no cheongsams. This was the first time she had ever worn one.

Lu Fengqing stood in front of the full-length mirror, examining her reflection.

She already had a great figure, and when she wore a cheongsam that accentuated her figure, with her curly hair and red lips, she exuded a gentle and dignified yet alluring charm. She was captivated by herself.

Wow, I never noticed before how beautiful she looks in a cheongsam.

I should have made a hundred or eighty sets.

"It looks really good." Xie Chaowan praised sincerely, took out a pearl hair ornament from a small box on the dressing table, and pinned it to Lu Fengqing's long hair.

The maid who was tidying up the clothes stood there for a long time, then sighed and said, "Miss Lu is so beautiful, like a beauty who has stepped out of a painting."

Standing next to the other ladies in their family, who were also wearing cheongsams, the two looked like sisters who had stepped out of an old photograph.

City A is not near the sea, and Xie Chao's yacht was moored in a neighboring province, about a two-hour drive away.

Xie Chaowan planned to take Lu Fengqing there for two days and even had the servants pack a suitcase full of clothes.

Lu Fengqing still hadn't brought any change of clothes, and her hands were empty, but she did bring her bank card.

When you're traveling, there's nothing that money can't solve; if there is, it's because you don't have enough money.

After having breakfast, Lu Fengqing and Xie Chaowan pulled their suitcases and headed out. Just as they reached the door, they ran into Tang Ya again.

Tang Ya paused in her steps and took the initiative to greet her: "A-Wan".

Then he looked at Lu Fengqing and said apologetically, "Miss Lu, I'm sorry, I mistook you for someone else yesterday."

Xie Chaowan didn't leave immediately. She turned her head to look at Lu Fengqing, wanting to see how the young girl would react.

Lu Fengqing has never been one to back down, and she would never tolerate being bullied by outsiders. Yesterday, Tang Ya was let in by Gu Suixing's uncle, and since Tang Ya was also a guest, she didn't make a scene out of respect for Gu Suixing's uncle. Now, she doesn't need to worry about those things. She said with a forced smile, "Ms. Tang doesn't go out often, so it's normal that she doesn't recognize people."

Tang Ya looked apologetic. "My mother-in-law's health hasn't been very good in recent years, so I really don't go out much. I'm so sorry."

"Mother-in-law?" Lu Fengqing looked puzzled and turned to Xie Chaowan, "Isn't Ms. Tang unmarried?"

Tang Ya's expression changed drastically.

Xie Chaowan chuckled, a hint of satisfaction flashing in her eyes, and replied cooperatively, "No."

Lu Fengqing looked at Tang Ya with a questioning gaze. Seeing that Tang Ya's expression was not good, she also showed a look of unease and asked cautiously, "Did I say something wrong?"

She didn't live as long as Tang Ya, but she had seen just as many scheming women and scheming women as Tang Ya. Anyone can be a scheming woman!
