Chapter 31 Some things are not something I can have just because I want them.
Just then, the red light came on. After Huo Huai'an stopped the car, he glanced at Lu Fengqing's angry expression and found it somewhat amusing. "What's so angry about? Didn't you say you wanted to marry an ATM? Now the ATM is practically delivering itself to your door. Make the most of it."
Lu Fengqing looked straight ahead and said in a low voice, "Some things are not something I can have just because I want them."
That jerk was indeed a good-looking and useful ATM, perfectly matching her criteria for a partner, but she had no intention of getting back together with him.
She didn't refuse because she knew she couldn't, and also because she simply couldn't bring herself to be cruel to him.
Outsiders only know that Gu Suixing's father became a vegetable after an accidental car accident, but they don't know that Gu's father was in a car accident to save her.
She owed Gu's father a life. She could tolerate everything Gu Suixing did and give him everything, but she couldn't be with him.
Huo Huai'an adopted a humble, inquiring expression and said, "Tell me about it."
Lu Fengqing said, "My grandfather's health is not very good, and I promised him that I would definitely get married before the end of the year."
Huo Huai'an was stunned.
Others might only know the general outline of the feud between the Lu and Gu families, but he knew it very well.
In families like theirs, feelings aren't the sole criterion for deciding who gets married, so getting back together won't be an easy thing for these two.
Letting go would be a happy ending for everyone, but that ancestor clearly isn't willing to let go.
After driving a short distance, Huo Huai'an couldn't help but say, "Sui Xing won't agree."
Lu Fengqing leaned back in her chair and turned to look out the window.
Just when Huo Huai'an thought she had fallen asleep, he suddenly heard her ask, "He's been abroad for so many years, hasn't he fallen in love with anyone?"
Huo Huai'an didn't answer directly, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
Lu Fengqing closed her eyes. "Forget it, I don't want to listen anymore."
Whether she has it or not, it has nothing to do with her.
The two found a nice Chinese restaurant and planned to have lunch before going to the technology expo.
Huo Huai'an hadn't eaten breakfast either, and was already starving.
Even though the food had already been served, the young lady wouldn't let him eat it.
Once all the dishes were served, the young lady took out her phone, chose the right angle, and snapped several photos of the table full of food before allowing him to start eating.
Huo Huai'an was quite convinced.
It's no exaggeration to say that this young lady was the most troublesome woman he had ever met.
Although she wasn't spoiled or unreasonable like a typical rich girl, she had a whole host of flaws that she couldn't count in three days and three nights.
I really don't know how Gu Suixing can stand her.
Huo Huai'an was inwardly grumbling when he caught a glimpse of the young lady looking at him coldly out of the corner of his eye. His heart skipped a beat. "What's wrong?"
Lu Fengqing narrowed her fox-like eyes slightly, "Are you talking badly about me?"
Huo Huai'an: "...No."
The young lady snorted, "You men are all the same."
Huo Huai'an was both amused and exasperated. He wanted the young lady to be reasonable, but then he remembered that she was never reasonable and he couldn't win an argument with her. So he simply kept quiet and ate his food.

Fragrant Orchid Pavilion.
Inside the antique-style private room, the air was filled with the delicate aroma of tea.
With a gentle inhale, the delicate fragrance permeates the heart and lungs.
"It's good tea." The portly middle-aged man put down his teacup, glanced at the time, and stood up. "It's getting late, I have to go back to work."
Gu Suixing also stood up, "I'll see you out."
The middle-aged man only asked them to be dropped off at the entrance of the private room, saying, "That's enough."
Gu Suixing stopped in his tracks.
"I will think about what you mentioned carefully." After saying that to Gu Suixing, the middle-aged man looked at Qin Xuan and said, "Please give my regards to your grandfather."
Qin Xuan nodded with a faint smile, "Okay. Take care, Uncle Li."
After watching the middle-aged man and his secretary leave, the two returned to their private room.
The table was full of exquisite dishes, but hardly any were touched, except for the pot of tea that had been brewed, which was now empty.
Qin Xuan picked up the teacup, held it to her nose, and sniffed it. "No wonder it's tea worth over 800,000 yuan per kilogram."
She, someone who doesn't know anything about tea, thought it smelled good.
Gu Suixing glanced at the teacup the middle-aged man had drunk from, then tossed the tea box to the manager behind him. "Wrap it up and send it to the Li family."
"Yes." The manager nodded, took the tea box, and left the private room.
Seeing that Gu Suixing was absent-minded, Qin Xuan asked with amusement, "Thinking about that young lady again?"
The man looked down at his phone and ignored her.
Qin Xuan didn't mind and continued, "I think that young lady doesn't seem to like you."
Gu Suixing finally raised her eyes and gave her a cool look.
"Okay, I won't say anymore." Qin Xuan smiled. "My father called last night to ask about you and me. From what he said, he hopes we can get engaged first."
