After hearing Ziqing's words, Xu Ziyang felt uneasy. Did Xu Rubao already have a boyfriend?

That's how people are; often, they only realize the value of something after they've lost it.

Things I used to not want have now become hot commodities. That feeling is like having a cat living inside my heart, constantly scratching at me.

Upstairs, Xu Rubao had no idea about Xu Ziyang's complicated thoughts.

I had dinner with my grandfather tonight, and many of the dishes were his favorites. It made me feel especially happy.

The Lu family, Mrs. Lu plans to spend the weekend at the hot spring resort, and will take Mrs. Cheng and the others with her.

This hot spring resort was developed by the Lu family and also has medicinal springs, making it a perfect place for Mrs. Cheng to soak.

Moreover, the scenery there is beautiful, making it the perfect place for romance. Lanlan and Yiqian can also take the opportunity to nurture their relationship.

Song Qinfang naturally had no objections, but she was a little disappointed that Ru Bao didn't come over.

"Minru, why don't we invite Abao to go with us tomorrow? It's the weekend, so she doesn't have to go to school."

“That’s what I was thinking too, but Ah Heng hasn’t come back yet. He’s busy with work, and I don’t know if he’ll have time to go with us tomorrow. I’ll tell Ru Bao first, and we can send a driver to pick her up tomorrow.”

As Ru Bao is the future daughter-in-law, Madam Lu naturally hopes that she will go with her.

Immediately, Mrs. Lu made a phone call herself, "Ru Bao, we're going to the hot springs tomorrow. You want to come along? You work so hard in class, it'll be a good time to relax. I'll send a driver to pick you up."

Xu Rubao, who was at the Xu family's residence, became nervous upon hearing Madam Lu's words.

There's no problem with her going, the key issue is that the Lu family is sending a car to pick her up, wouldn't that be too ostentatious?

"Auntie, you don't need to pick me up tomorrow. I can go directly to the Lu family's house."

When Madam Lu heard that she would be coming, and considering that the Xu family also had a car, she did not insist any further.

Although the Xu family wasn't a particularly prestigious family, they were still quite well-off.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Rubao breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Madam Lu did not insist on coming to pick her up.

She's going to a hot spring tomorrow and will probably have to stay overnight there. She needs to find an excuse to tell her grandfather.

Fortunately, she was already in university, and since she was studying medicine, it was normal for her to sometimes go out and learn from professors.

The next day, Xu Rubao told her grandfather before leaving home.

Xu Ziyang followed her out. "Ru Bao, where are you going? Shall I take you?"

Xu Rubao didn't expect Xu Ziyang to come out with her. Moreover, it was the weekend. Usually, Xu Ziyang would not get up so early at this time.

"No need, I'll go by myself."

She didn't want him to take her there; if he knew she had gone to the Lu family, things would get complicated.

"Ru Bao, you don't need to be so nervous. I just wanted to see you off."

"You don't need to be so kind. I'm afraid you'll sell me if I ride in your car."

After saying that, Xu Rubao saw the bus arrive and, without caring whether it was going to the Lu family's house or not, she ran straight onto it.

Xu Ziyang stood there, stunned, watching Xu Rubao choose to take the bus rather than let him see her off.

He frowned, blaming himself. If he hadn't brought her to Qiwu Mountain in the first place, she probably wouldn't have been so hostile towards him.

He regretted it...

Xu Rubao squeezed onto the bus and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Xu Ziyang hadn't followed.

She got off the bus after it had traveled two stops, intending to change to another bus and head towards the Lu family's residence.
