Chapter 106: A World of Difference

What caught his eyes was a woman of incomparable beauty, with skin as white as snow and a jade-carved face emitting charming brilliance.

Her eyes in particular were like the stars in the sky, bright and dazzling, as if they could penetrate one's soul. Her inky hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall, gently brushing against her fair skin, as smooth as silk.

Her beauty was not only in her appearance, but also a charm that radiated from the inside out, making it irresistible.

Gu Qing'an's heartbeat suddenly lost control and began to beat rapidly like a wild horse. He had never felt such an intense heartbeat, as if it was about to jump out of his chest. This feeling was so strange, yet so real. Could this be the feeling of being moved?

His eyes were fixed on Ling Yao, and he wanted to go up and get to know her.

Ling Yao felt a fiery gaze, and looked up, and saw that it was Gu Qing'an. Disgust flashed in his eyes, and he retracted his gaze. It was so unlucky that he met this scumbag here.

"What's wrong?" Ji Yuanzhou saw that Ling Yao's face was a little ugly.

Ling Yao shook her head, "I just saw something dirty."

"Dirty things? Where are they?" Ji Yuanzhou looked

around curiously. Ling Yao couldn't help but laugh. This smile was like a hundred flowers blooming, charming and breathtakingly beautiful.

Gu Qing'an's heart beat faster. He must get to know each other. As for Zhou Yu, he has already planned to divorce her anyway.

The waiter came over with two bowls of steaming noodles.

An alluring aroma instantly spread in the air like a wisp of smoke.

Ling Yao's eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously. She reached out and gently pulled out a pair of chopsticks from the chopstick bucket on the table.

She picked up a mouthful of noodles and tasted it carefully. The noodles were chewy and elastic, and the umami danced on the tip of her tongue. It was very delicious.

Ji Yuanzhou looked at Ling Yao with a smile, his eyes full of tenderness. He picked up the small dish of shrimps in front of him and put most of them into Ling Yao's bowl, "Yao Yao, try these shrimps, this is the signature dish of their restaurant. There is also smoked fish, try it too."

Ling Yao stopped Ji Yuanzhou who was about to give her the smoked fish, "Third brother, that's enough, I can't finish so much, you can eat the smoked fish yourself."

"It's okay, if you can't finish it, third brother can eat it." Ji Yuanzhou put a piece of smoked fish into Ling Yao's bowl.

Ling Yao had no choice but to accept it.

"Yao Yao, is this your first time in Jing City?" Ji Yuanzhou picked up a mouthful of noodles and put it in his mouth.

"Yeah." She had been to Jing City in her previous life, but this life was indeed her first time.

"Then after dinner, Third Brother will take you to visit the Great Wall, and tomorrow I will take you to the Forbidden City and the Old Summer Palace."

"Okay." Ling Yao smiled and nodded. It feels so good to have a brother.

Gu Qing'an did not leave after finishing his noodles. He sat there and looked at Ling Yao from time to time. He was afraid that if he left, he would never see each other again, which would make him regret for the rest of his life, but how could he get to know each other?

At this time, an elderly man and a young girl walked in slowly from outside.

The old man was leaning on a cane, and although his steps were a little staggering, he was in high spirits. His eyes, which had experienced the sedimentation of time, were sharp and steady, as if he could see through everything in the world.

He exudes the aura of a superior, which makes people feel awe. One can tell at a glance that he is of extraordinary status.

The little girl next to the old man has a sweet face and two small swirls on the corners of her mouth when she smiles. She carefully supported the old man, "Grandpa! Slow down, be careful of the doorstep."

"It's okay, your grandpa is still young, no need to help, I can walk by myself." The old man smiled and pulled his hand back, walked into the noodle shop, and sat down at the table next to Ling Yao and the others.

Ji Yuanzhou looked in the direction of the voice and recognized the old man at a glance. He whispered to Ling Yao, "Yaoyao, the person next to you is an old friend of grandpa. You and your third brother go over to say hello."

"Okay." Ling Yao put down her chopsticks, took out a hand towel to wipe her mouth, stood up and followed Ji Yuanzhou to the old man.

"Grandpa Lu! Are you here to eat noodles too?" Ji Yuanzhou took Ling Yao to Old Master Lu and greeted him respectfully.

His last name is Lu? Could he be Lu Qingyun's grandpa? Could it be such a coincidence? When Ling Yao heard Ji Yuanzhou calling him by that name, this thought immediately crossed his mind.

"Is it Yuanzhou?" Old Master Lu looked at Ji Yuanzhou with a smile on his face, and then his sight fell on Ling Yao who was standing next to Ji Yuanzhou. This little girl was really eye-catching. Not only was she outstanding in appearance, but her temperament was also extraordinary, which made him like her at first sight.

"My sister just arrived in Beijing, and I took her out for a walk. Yaoyao, this is Grandpa Lu." Ji Yuanzhou patted Ling Yao's shoulder gently.

Ling Yao came back to her senses, showing a sweet smile, and greeted Grandpa Lu politely: "Hello, Grandpa Lu!" Her voice was clear and pleasant, like an oriole singing out of a valley.

Grandpa Lu looked at Ling Yao with loving eyes, and his smile was full of love, "What a well-behaved child." It's a pity that his eldest grandson already has a partner, otherwise he would definitely introduce this little girl to his eldest grandson.

Thinking of his troublesome grandson, Grandpa Lu shook his head helplessly. The eldest grandson said that when he returns from the mission, he will bring his girlfriend home to meet him.

Grandpa Lu was full of expectations. He didn't know what kind of woman could attract his eldest grandson who was allergic to girls.

Lu Qingshuang pouted and glared at Ji Yuanzhou angrily.

Ji Yuanzhou felt Lu Qingshuang's gaze, turned his head to look at her, and smiled brilliantly, "Lu Qingshuang, let me introduce you, this is my sister Ling Yao. Yaoyao, this is Lu Qingshuang, she is a student of Peking University like us."

Lu Qingshuang snorted and turned her head away, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly. She and Ji Yuanzhou were college classmates and a sweet couple, but they had just started dating and their families didn't know about their relationship yet.

"Hello, Miss Lu!" Ling Yao felt that there was something going on when she saw her third brother and Lu Qingshuang interacting with each other. Maybe the other person might very well be her future third sister-in-law.

Lu Qingshuang had a sweet smile on her face, and she stood up gracefully, saying in a friendly tone: "Hello Yaoyao, just call me Qingshuang." She might become her third sister-in-law in the future, so it would be beneficial to establish a good relationship with her now.

Gu Qing'an was slightly stunned when he heard Ji Yuanzhou introduce Ling Yao. The other person was also called Ling Yao, what a coincidence.

He carefully examined Ling Yao's facial features, trying to compare her with the Ling Yao in his memory. The Ling Yao in front of him was elegant, like a fairy, while the Ling Yao in his memory was dark, fat, and rustic, with no beauty at all. The two people were completely different, with no similarities except for the same name. He shook his head, convinced that they could not be the same person.
