"It's okay, don't spoil her too much."
Lu Ziting frowned, not wanting to compromise on this matter.
He scooped a bowl of soup for Su An and whispered, "I can't give in on this matter."
Upon hearing this, Su An didn't say anything else and lowered his head to eat.
After dinner.
Su An noticed that Lu Ziting went to the kitchen, and then the housekeeper came upstairs with a clean dinner.
He came out not long after.
Lu Ziting came out and saw Su An looking at him. His brows softened a little and he asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Su An shook his head, the smile in his eyes growing wider.
The person in question is actually my sister.
No matter how angry I was, I couldn't bear to really punish her.
I didn't expect Lu Ziting to have such a proud side.
"You're laughing at me?"
Lu Ziting sat next to Su An and saw that she was reading the latest news, and his voice was warm.
"No." Su An said softly.
Lu Ziting smiled and touched her cheek, saying softly, "You can't even hide your smile, and you still say you don't have it?"
Su An smiled secretly and didn't respond.
Only when she was with Lu Ziting could her depressed mood find a moment of peace.
The two stayed together for a while, and Lu Ziting suddenly held her hand, leaned his head on her shoulder, and said softly.
"An An, my parents are very happy to know that I'm in love. I told them about you, and they both like you very much."
"..." Su An was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise, "Do your parents... know about me?"
"Yes."
Lu Ziting nodded, turned around and saw a hint of worry in her eyes, and couldn't help but comfort her.
"Don't worry, my parents are very friendly people and won't make things difficult for you."
"Hmm..." Su An responded softly, looking a little uneasy.
Lu Ziting held her hand and gently stroked her white and tender fingers. His voice was gentle and low, carrying a reassuring magic.
"An An, they're going to the Wu Kingdom to worship their ancestors in a few days... Do you want to go and meet them?"
Su An was startled, raised her head helplessly, met his affectionate eyes, and said nervously.
"Are we... moving too fast? We're meeting our parents in just a few days... I'm a little worried..."
Putting aside the fact that their relationship is not stable yet.
I'm afraid that no elder in the family would be able to accept what happened between her and Gu Jingchen, as well as her experience of arranging marriages.
What if... his parents are not satisfied, then she will become a person again.
"An An, not fast at all."
Lu Ziting saw the panic in her eyes, grabbed her hands, and murmured softly, "I have been preparing for this day for many years..."
Not fast, really not fast at all.
Even he felt it was too slow.
If he had been braver three years ago, she would have been his.
"What?" Su An was stunned. He didn't understand what he meant, and looked up in confusion.
"I'll take you somewhere."
Lu Ziting smiled, took her hand, stood up, and took her to a room not far away.
They stood at the door.
Su An took a look and was stunned.
She vaguely remembered that this seemed to be a painting studio?
A while ago, she fainted on the roadside because of her mother's affairs and was taken to the villa by Lu Ziting.
When I woke up, I didn't see him and mistakenly thought he was in the studio, so I almost opened the door.
He seemed a little nervous at that time?
Is there any secret hidden in this studio?
Lu Ziting stood at the door of the studio, pretending to be mysterious and asking her to close her eyes. He said softly, "Open your eyes when I tell you to."
"What's so mysterious about the bottom of the sack?"
Su An was curious, but closed his eyes obediently.
"You'll know once you see it..."
Lu Ziting looked at Su An's well-behaved appearance with a calm face, but he was very nervous in his heart.
I wonder what her reaction would be when she sees those things?
Lu Ziting held her hand tightly, gently pushed open the door, and slowly walked her inside.
There was no light in the studio and it was pitch black.
However, Lu Ziting skillfully led her away from all the painting supplies and fuel and led her to the center of the room.
"Can you open your eyes now?" Su An asked softly.
"Let me count down, 3, 2... 1..."
As Lu Ziting spoke, he slowly let go of her hand and stepped aside.
As soon as 1 said this, he turned on the light.
The room suddenly became brighter.
"Okay, you can open your eyes now." Lu Ziting said with a smile as he stood behind her.
Su An opened his eyes and looked around.
When she saw everything in the studio, she was shocked.
Rows of neatly arranged picture frames hang on the studio walls.
The painting is all about her.
There are pictures of her on campus during her university years, and there are also pictures of her more recent appearance...
Some of the canvases have turned yellow. I wonder how many years this piece has been in the studio.
Su An was stunned.
If she hadn't agreed to be with Lu Ziting, would these paintings have been hung here forever, never to be seen by anyone?
Su An couldn't help but look at them one by one...
The most recent painting I discovered was a silhouette of her learning to paint in kindergarten.
On the canvas, she holds the paintbrush, looking straight ahead calmly, as if thinking.
The sunlight shone on her fair and clean face, giving it a light golden hue, making her look quiet and beautiful.
Su An stared at the painting blankly, with mixed feelings in his heart.
In the past, she didn't understand what Lu Ziting meant by love, but now, looking at these paintings, she suddenly understood.
After experiencing so many changes, she actually didn't have the habit of looking in the mirror a long time ago, but one could guess without looking that her face must be very haggard and pale.
But under his brush, she is still full of vitality, tranquil and beautiful, as if all the sufferings in the world have not yet befallen her.
Su An's eyes were sore, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Lu Ziting, and said in a choked voice, "When did you draw this?"
He is with me all day long, how can he have time to paint?
"I drew it while you were sleeping."
Seeing that her eyes were red, Lu Ziting walked forward with heartache, raised his hand and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said softly.
"Why are you crying? Is my drawing too ugly?"
"Not ugly..." Su An lowered her head to wipe away her tears and shook her head gently.
She was just surprised and touched.
She had never been so loved, so cherished.
In her past relationships, she had always been immersed in the entanglement with Gu Jingchen. In her two-year marriage with him, she only felt loneliness and tears.
I thought that after the divorce, she would be like this and no longer have any extravagant expectations for love.
But Lu Ziting... proved with his actions how deep and sincere his love for her was.
"Thank you, thank you..." Su An couldn't stop crying, she threw herself into his arms and sobbed softly.
She was really touched.
"An An, I told you, I have been preparing for this moment for many years."
Lu Ziting hugged her gently, feeling her breath and warmth, feeling extremely happy.
Su An cried for a while, then seemed to remember something. She raised her head with tears in her eyes and sobbed, "Then your parents...will they mind that I'm divorced?"
"So, you agree to meet them?" Lu Ziting raised his hand to wipe away the tears on her face. The tenderness in his eyes seemed to squeeze out water, making her indulge in it.
"Hmm..." Su An nodded slightly.
"Don't worry, I've decided to be with you, and I'm not afraid of any obstacles."
Lu Ziting said with a firm look in his eyes.
"I brought you to meet my parents just to let them know that I have someone I love, not to ask for their consent."
No matter what his parents' attitude is, his heart for Su An remains steadfast.
He had waited for so many years, and had spent countless nights regretting the opportunities he had missed. Now that they were finally together, how could he let go?
