Chapter 153 Easy to deceive
Anyone can sabotage someone's efforts.
Gu Suixing sneered: "It's not like when you're eight years old, you're still transforming while wearing curtains, pointing at a golden retriever and saying it's your Digimon and you want to save the world with it."
Lu Fengqing's face instantly turned bright red. "Shut up!"
Rui Rui blinked and looked up at the two of them.
Any one of those embarrassing things from her childhood, especially before she started junior high school, could make Lu Fengqing furious.
Seeing that Gu Suixing was about to say something, Lu Fengqing pounced on him and pinched him, "Forgot everything, did you hear me!"
Rui Rui looked at her aunt who had suddenly become excited, thought for a moment, and raised the nine-linked ring in her hand, "Ultraman, transform!"
Lu Fengqing: "..."
Gu Suixing suppressed a laugh, pressed Lu Fengqing down, and turned to Rui Rui, saying, "A little turtle can't become Ultraman."
Rui Rui frowned and pondered.
-
Inside the Lu family's old mansion, all was quiet, and the servants were busy with their own tasks.
Grandpa Lu wasn't feeling well yesterday and hasn't gotten out of bed much today. Right now, he's sitting up in bed watching the news replay, with his butler, Uncle Chen, beside him.
Lu Fengxu and Lu Fengyao were unaware of what Lu Fengqing had been going through these past few days. The day after attending the Zhang family's full moon celebration, they packed their bags and went abroad, and haven't returned yet.
"Sir, Miss is back." Uncle Chen stood behind the French windows, looking into the courtyard. "She's back with the young master."
A bad feeling rose in Old Master Lu's heart. "What else?"
Uncle Chen looked again and found that there really was "there was another one," "there was also a young man."
Uncle Chen paused for a moment, then exclaimed sincerely, "He's really tall!"
Grandpa Lu's face darkened immediately. While turning off the TV, he urged, "Stop watching! Hurry up and close the door!"
"..." Uncle Chen did as instructed.
There was a wheelchair and crutches in the trunk of the car. Lu Fengqing refused Gu Suixing's help and carried the electric wheelchair, which weighed dozens of kilograms, down by herself.
Gu Suixing lowered his head and lectured his son: "Eat more and exercise more, otherwise you'll marry a wife like this in the future and you won't be able to beat her in bed."
Lu Fengqing warned in a low voice, "Gu Suixing!"
What do you mean by saying you can't even beat someone in bed? Is that something you should say to a child?
Rui Rui said with a serious expression, "Fighting is bad."
Gu Suixing pulled over the wheelchair and sat down, then picked up Rui Rui and placed her on the uninjured leg. "What if someone hits you?"
Rui Rui started thinking.
Gu Suixing smiled and didn't say anything more. "Come on, let your uncle teach you how to drive."
One taught diligently, and the other learned diligently; before long, the wheelchair slipped away right in front of Lu Fengqing.
Lu Fengqing: "..."
After entering the house, Lu Fengqing asked the maid, "Where is Grandpa?"
The maid replied, "The old gentleman is in his room."
Lu Fengqing dismissed the servants and bent down to negotiate with Rui Rui, "Your aunt and uncle need to see your great-grandfather. Rui Rui, why don't you go play in the children's room by yourself first?"
"Okay." Rui Rui nodded, holding the nine-linked rings in one hand, and carefully climbed down from Gu Suixing's lap.
Lu Fengqing called over another maid and instructed her to follow and keep an eye on Rui Rui. After watching Rui Rui go upstairs, she looked down and asked Gu Suixing, "Are you scared?"
Gu Suixing met her smiling eyes, "My other leg is about to break too, how can I not be afraid?"
Lu Fengqing pinched his face, "At this moment, you should say, 'I'm not afraid of anything for you.'"
Gu Suixing raised an eyebrow slightly, "If you like to deceive yourself, I can also 'be afraid of nothing for you'."
"..." Lu Fengqing applied a little force to her hand, looking at her own reflection in those eyes, and belatedly realized that this was actually a love confession.
It's just a bit too subtle.
That sounds pretty obnoxious.
It has to be said that being able to say sweet nothings like that is a skill in itself.
Lu Fengqing asked from the bottom of her heart, "How did I fall for you back then?"
Gu Suixing sighed, "Probably because they're easy to fool."
Lu Fengqing was much easier to fool when she was a teenager than she is now.
Lu Fengqing glared at him, "Who are you calling easy to fool?"
Gu Suixing chuckled and took her hand.
Lu Fengqing snorted and withdrew her hand, pushing Gu Suixing to the door of Old Master Lu's room. She knocked on the door and asked, "Grandpa, are you asleep?"
Before being discharged in the morning, the doctor gave Gu Suixing a comprehensive examination. After that, it took a lot of time to complete the admission procedures. When they left the hospital, it was almost lunchtime, so they decided to have lunch and come back. By the time they arrived at the Lu residence, it was already past one o'clock.
Knowing that Grandpa Lu usually takes a nap at this time, Lu Fengqing chatted leisurely with Gu Suixing and didn't rush over.
Inside the room, Uncle Chen asked in a low voice, "Should we open the door?"
Old Master Lu glared and bristled, "I won't open it!"
That brat is here to snatch his granddaughter; he won't open the door.
Uncle Chen reminded her, "Miss should know I'm in here."
Old Master Lu asked, "Why didn't you go out earlier?"
"..." Uncle Chen was both amused and exasperated.
Old Master Lu felt a pain in his chest and waved his hand haphazardly, "Go open the door and tell him I'm asleep. I haven't been feeling well these past few days and I don't want to see anyone. Let him go back."
"Yes." Uncle Chen smiled and nodded, then turned to open the door. "Miss. Young Master Gu."
Lu Fengqing asked, "Where is Grandpa?"
Uncle Chen told Lu what he had been told in detail.
Lu Fengqing looked at Gu Suixing.
Gu Suixing calmly said, "I haven't seen Grandpa Lu for many years and I miss him very much. I finally took the time to visit him today. Since it is inconvenient for Grandpa Lu, I can only apologize for disturbing you by staying here."
Uncle Chen's breath hitched. Did Young Master Gu mean he was planning to stay here?
Lying in bed, Old Master Lu thought with a worried expression, "I've made a mistake. I've let a wolf into the house."
Lu Fengqing was also reluctant to let Gu Suixing go through all that trouble, and she wanted to get her grandfather's approval as soon as possible, so she said in cooperation, "Uncle Chen, please have someone tidy up the guest room."
What else could Uncle Chen say? Everyone inside was "asleep." He couldn't ask for instructions first, nor could he say that such a large house couldn't even spare a single guest room. He could only bite the bullet and make arrangements according to Lu Fengqing's wishes.
When Uncle Chen returned after finishing his work, Grandpa Lu asked, "Which guest room did you arrange for that kid to sleep in?"
Uncle Chen: "...the room in the southeast corner on the first floor."
Old Master Lu frowned. "So close."
The word "near" refers to its proximity to Lu Fengqing's room.
Uncle Chen thought to himself, "One is on the first floor and the other is on the second floor; that's quite far."
Besides, no matter how far apart they are, the child has already been born. Even if you separate them to opposite ends of the Milky Way, it won't make a difference.
