Chapter 45 Women are all debts
Lu Fengqing almost choked on the food in her mouth.
"Eat slowly." Xie Chaowan quickly poured a glass of water and handed it to her.
Gu Suixing glanced at Lu Fengqing indifferently and answered Xie Chaowan's question: "This year."
Lu Fengqing was taken aback and subconsciously looked at Gu Suixing.
Does he even know what he's saying?
Is she really that confident that she can handle her maternal grandfather and paternal grandfather?
Besides, when did she say she wanted to marry him?
Lu Fengqing pouted, belatedly realizing that she seemed to have taken the bait too easily.
That was true then, and it is true now.
She's never experienced being pursued before.
After talking for a while, Lu Fengqing accompanied Xie Chaowan to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
Xie Chaowan suddenly asked, "You and Sui Xing have known each other for a long time, haven't you?"
"Yes." Lu Fengqing didn't deny it, and asked curiously, "How did you guess it?"
Xie Chaowan said, "I guess it's just a feeling."
There are still many differences in the details between couples who have just started dating and couples who have been together for a long time.
The little girl thought she hadn't noticed, but she actually had. This little girl was a bit of a picky eater; she put all the food she didn't like into Sui Xing's bowl, and Sui Xing ate it all. You know, her cousin Qing Tang wouldn't touch anything his chopsticks had touched; it would probably take at least ten or eight years of getting to know each other to tolerate the little girl doing this.
Lu Fengqing: "He and I are classmates."
Xie Chaowan nodded, then suddenly remembered something from the past. "Sui Xing came to the Xie family in City A after finishing his college entrance exams. During dinner, he told us that he would bring his girlfriend to meet us in a while. It must have been you, right?"
Lu Fengqing: "...Probably."
They had just gotten together then, and she vaguely remembered him mentioning it.
However, she didn't end up going.
Presumably recalling Gu Suixing's sudden departure abroad, Xie Chaowan didn't ask any further questions and changed the subject, "Want to make some small cakes with me?"
Lu Fengqing blinked. "Okay."
She readily agreed, but Lu Fengqing forgot the fact that she was no good at handicrafts.
If Xie Chaowan's cakes were as exquisite as works of art, then Lu Fengqing's were like a car crash.
Xie Chaowan looked at it for a while and commented, "It's quite abstract."
Lu Fengqing: "..."
Lu Fengqing packed the cake she made into a box and ate the one Xie Chaowan made with Gu Suixing.
The two were eating cake in the living room when a servant in the yard called out to Xie Chaowan. Xie Chaowan placed two glasses of freshly squeezed juice in front of them and went outside.
Xie Chaowan's small cakes were sweet but not cloying, and tasted really good. Even Lu Fengqing, who doesn't like desserts, ate almost half of one.
The rest all ended up in Gu Suixing's stomach.
This guy has loved sweets since he was a child. Seeing that he seemed to be able to eat more, Lu Fengqing simply pushed the one she made in front of him as well.
Gu Suixing: "What?"
Lu Fengqing's eyes darted around for a moment, "The little cakes I made."
Gu Suixing lowered her eyes, "You're planning to murder your husband before you even stepped inside?"
"..."
Lu Fengqing endured his words, "I don't want it anymore, I'll give it to Huai'an."
Gu Suixing didn't say anything, but easily opened the cardboard box with two fingers.
A shapeless lump appeared in sight.
It really is just a lump.
Not only was the cream batter uneven, but it also had so many different patterns and colors that it was more exciting than a palette.
Gu Suixing paused for two seconds, then closed the box again. "For Huai'an."
Lu Fengqing: "...What about love?"
Gu Suixing: "Dead."
Lu Fengqing thought for a moment and then said, "This is the first time I've ever made a cake, and it might be the last time in my life."
Gu Suixing's brows relaxed. "That's great."
Lu Fengqing: "..."
Despite saying that, the cake still ended up in Gu Suixing's stomach.
It may look ugly, but the ingredients are good, and you can eat it even with your eyes closed.
After swallowing the last bite, Gu Suixing let out a heavy sigh. "The second time."
The first time was with that bomb-shaped bread on the way to the airport, and the second time was with this thing.
Women are all debts.
Lu Fengqing pretended not to understand and got up to tidy up the table.
The two didn't linger there for too long. After thanking Xie Chaowan, they left together.
The old maid couldn't help but say to Xie Chaowan, "This couple is so good-looking. I've never seen such good-looking children in my life."
Xie Chaowan smiled and said, "It is very beautiful."
The old maid looked at Xie Chaowan and suddenly said, "Speaking of which, that young lady's eyes are very similar to yours."
"Really?" Xie Chaowan touched her eyes.
The cell phone in the apron pocket suddenly rang.
Xie Chaowan put down her hand and answered the phone, "Third Brother."
Xie Chaoyin's gentle voice came through the receiver: "Something came up at the company, I won't be able to go back this afternoon..."
-
Gu Suixing had other things to do, so Lu Fengqing returned to her residence alone and went straight to the bathroom in her room, covered in sweat.
Although the manor arranged for them to stay in suites, each bedroom had its own bathroom, which was very convenient and the conditions were no worse than those in a five-star hotel.
Lu Fengqing took off her clothes and stood in front of the mirror, looking at the marks on her body, and muttered a curse.
After taking a shower, Lu Fengqing didn't go out again and slept until nightfall.
Huo Huai'an called, "Miss, get up and eat."
Lu Fengqing scratched her messy hair and got out of bed.
There was no banquet tonight, but there was a group outdoor barbecue. When Lu Fengqing was led to the outdoor barbecue area by the staff, the charcoal in each barbecue grill was already lit.
"Lu Nian, over here—"
As soon as Lu Fengqing turned her head, she saw Huo Huai'an waving at her.
The barbecue grill is made of cement bricks, with a hollow stone stove in the middle and long stone benches around it.
When Lu Fengqing arrived, there was only an empty seat next to Gu Suixing.
Besides Huo Huai'an and Qin Xuan, Xie Qingtang was also at the table, along with several other unfamiliar men and women. In short, the table was full of young people.
Lu Fengqing had just woken up and was still a little groggy. Without thinking much, she sat down next to Gu Suixing.
In an instant, everyone's gaze became somewhat subtle.
"Try it." Huo Huai'an handed a skewer of grilled meat to Lu Fengqing.
Qin Xuan: "Miss Lu, would you like juice or cola?"
"Juice, thank you."
The group of people were grilling their own food, chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Lu Fengqing and Gu Suixing sat side by side, their only interaction being that Gu Suixing was in charge of grilling and Lu Fengqing was in charge of eating.
The others around them saw this and, though they didn't show it on their faces, they were inwardly astonished.
Grilling food can easily burn your hands, and everyone present is a pampered young lady who has never lifted a finger. The men would be mindful of taking care of the ladies, but this one is different—he is a prince.
Even Miss Qin, who was personally brought here by the Crown Prince, did not receive this treatment.
The young master has only been back in the country for a short time, and I've never heard of him having any interaction with Miss Lu. How come their relationship has suddenly become so good?
However, everyone quickly came to terms with it.
It's in a man's nature to like beautiful women. Miss Lu is more beautiful than the roses blooming in the rose field, so it's not entirely impossible that the Crown Prince would take a liking to her.
I guess it's just for the novelty; they'll get tired of it after a while.
"Miss Lu, thank you, Brother Xie."
Lin Yicheng fell and got covered in mud while horseback riding in the afternoon. She just went back and took a shower, so she's late.
The man sitting next to Xie Qingtang felt a little uncomfortable at this table, so he stood up and said, "I'm going to drink at Lao Zhao's table. Yicheng, you can sit here."
Seeing this, Zhang Qin at the next table was filled with envy and jealousy.
She really wanted to sit there too.
"elder brother."
Lin Yiyi, who had been sitting quietly next to Zhang Qin, suddenly stood up and said a few words to a young man over there. The young man, holding a can of cola, happily switched places with her.
When Zhang Qin looked up again, she was met with a smiling face with dark skin. "..."
I feel even more heartbroken.
