Something was shoved into Yue Lanxing's hand, and Liu Xuan ran off in a flash, "Young Miss, this..."
Xu Zhaoyue tiptoed to look at the pearls in Yue Lanxing's hand. They were about the same size, just different in quantity. "I'll make you cufflinks and tie clips, all made of pearls to match."
In Xu Zhaoyue's eyes, there was no need to pass the buck about this; it would be better to just take it directly.
Seeing that the young lady didn't care and even said she would make cufflinks for him, Yue Lanxing put the box away, saying, "Then I'll keep it."
Yue Minghao, holding the box, stood beside them and said, "I have one more here, why don't you take one too..."
One sentence stirred up a huge wave. Xu Zhaoyue and Yue Lanxing looked at him at the same time. "Who are you?" Xu Zhaoyue saw Yue Minghao's face, and then looked at Yue Lanxing's. Sure enough, his eyes were his distinguishing feature.
"My name is Yue Minghao, and I'm Mingze and Mingyuan's older brother. Do you have some time? We could go for a cup of tea and have a chat." Yue Minghao invited them to the tea room, his demeanor exuding a refined and scholarly air.
Xu Zhaoyue and Yue Lanxing exchanged a glance. How come Yue Minghao's personality is so much more honest than Yue Mingze's?
“Sure, we’ll have to talk anyway.” Xu Zhaoyue winked at Yue Lanxing, who nodded slightly in agreement.
The tea room on the Yuehua is above the restaurant, offering a more distant view. From this angle, the sea appears deeper and calmer.
"Please, both of you!" Yue Minghao personally brewed the tea, handling every step himself.
Xu Zhaoyue picked up the cup and took a sip. The tea had a light and lingering aroma. "Did you bring this tea yourself?"
"Yes, I'll be staying in Shanghai for a while this time, so I need to bring some things with me in case I don't like the local food," Yue Minghao replied.
"Did the entire Yue family come this time? Where are the others? As a junior, I should be paying a visit, not just leisurely drinking tea here," Xu Zhaoyue asked.
Yue Minghao thought for a while, should he announce how many people they had brought now? Or should he wait a bit longer? He noticed that Yue Lanxing hadn't touched her cup, so he figured she was probably against them.
“They’re all resting in their rooms. Calling it a visit would be too formal. I heard from Mingyuan that she’s met Miss Xu a few times and has been praising her to me. Although our Yue family isn’t involved in the pharmaceutical business, we still have an eye for investment.”
Xu Zhaoyue felt that he was taking a roundabout approach. "Is that so? There will be opportunities in the future. After all, the prospects for the development of our Xu family are very promising."
Yue Lanxing was initially uncomfortable sitting there, but Xu Zhaoyue kept talking to him, and he gradually felt at ease.
Yue Minghao and Xu Zhaoyue chatted until noon and then wanted to invite them to lunch together. "I think it's almost noon, why don't we have lunch together?"
"No need for dinner, I'll just go to the buffet. The scenery there is quite nice. This chat has been very beneficial. I'll treat you to dinner when we get back to Shanghai, to show you my hospitality." Xu Zhaoyue declined and then left with Yue Lanxing.
Yue Minghao followed him out. After seeing that Yue Lanxing and Xu Zhaoyue did not go to the restaurant together, he chose to go to Yue Lanxing's fork in the road. After walking a little further, Yue Lanxing leaned against the wall and waited for him.
"I am... Let me introduce myself again. My father is Yue Wenxing, Yue Wenzhi is my second uncle, and Yue Wenzhu is my third aunt." Yue Minghao went over the family relationships with him again.
"She came too?" Yue Lanxing opened her mouth, took a deep breath, and finally asked.
Yue Minghao was taken aback for a moment, then quickly admitted, "Yes, I came. It wasn't that I didn't want to see you, but my dad was afraid that my aunt would get emotional, so he kept stopping me."
Yue Lanxing nodded, "I understand. From now until we return to the dock, please do not disturb Miss again."
"Okay, I'll tell you when I get back. Whenever you want to come see us, we're always available." Yue Minghao was about to leave after saying that, but he blurted out, "You look more like my dad than I do."
After saying that, he took advantage of Yue Lanxing's surprise and quickly slipped away. Yue Lanxing was now even more certain that the person behind Yue Wenzhi yesterday was Yue Wenxing. Is the nephew like the uncle?
Xu Zhaoyue didn't go out all afternoon, still drawing design drafts, so Yue Lanxing didn't go out either. The Yue family members were also quiet because of the news Yue Minghao brought back.
When it was time to disembark, Xu Zhaoyue could lead the others off the ship first. Yue Lanxing was about to reach out to help Xu Zhaoyue down when he felt someone watching him from behind, so he stepped back and let Xiao Nan go forward.
Xiao Nan thought he was quite perceptive, knowing to let her and the young lady go downstairs together.
Xu Zhaoyue and Xiao Nan came down together, with Yue Lanxing following behind her. Xu Zhaoyue wondered why he had stepped back earlier. Was there any difference between standing next to her and following behind her?
Before Xu Zhaoyue could ask, Yue Lanxing explained after returning, "If any members of the Yue family are present, I need to keep my distance from Miss. If they find out that I am not allergic to Miss, it will be a burden for her."
Yue Lanxing understood perfectly well that the reason the Yue family was being so careful around him was simply because of his illness. It was incurable but not fatal. If he were a normal, healthy person, the Yue family wouldn't have come to Shanghai to find him; they would have kidnapped him and taken him to Beijing.
“What you said makes sense. Just be careful when you’re out. By the way, the Yue family has all come to Shanghai. They’ll definitely be looking for your mother. Have you told Xuanxuan about these things?” Xu Zhaoyue remembered that Yue Xuanxuan was also at school.
"I'm going to see her this afternoon; I should tell her about these things." Yue Lanxing was incredibly efficient; she called Yue Xuanxuan at noon and picked her up after class in the afternoon.
Yue Lanxing drove directly to the teaching building. Yue Xuanxuan got into the car amidst the farewells of her classmates. "Brother, what's the rush? You couldn't even wait until the weekend to come and pick me up."
