Over here, Liu Manyun got into the car and sat in the passenger seat, watching Gu Xicheng and Lu Qing and occasionally showing a maternal smile as if she were shipping them.
When Lu Qing saw her smile in the rearview mirror, he couldn't help but get goosebumps.
"Liu Manyun, can't you be normal for once?"
Liu Manyun quickly composed herself and said with a smile:
"I'm just happy for you, my idol, to be happy!"
Lu Qing sighed helplessly. She finally understood why her fifth brother had so many bodyguards when he went out.
"Do you want to go back to school or go somewhere else? I can take you there," Lu Qing said.
Liu Manyun leaned closer and asked expectantly:
"May I come to your home as a guest?"
Lu Qing couldn't help but chuckle: "You're really not being polite!"
"Just be a little thick-skinned, and you can eat an extra piece of meat!"
Liu Manyun stared at Lu Qing expectantly, awaiting her answer.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Qing nodded in agreement.
Liu Manyun jumped up excitedly, forgetting that she was in a car, and bumped into the roof with a thud, the pain bringing tears to her eyes.
"Ouch...it hurts so much!"
Liu Manyun covered her head, her eyes brimming with tears ≧ ﹏ ≦.
Lu Qing couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Seeing her smile, Liu Manyun instantly stopped crying. Tears were still welling up in her eyes, but she smiled along with her.
"Idol, you seem so happy, how about I bump into you again?"
Lu Qing immediately stopped smiling: "Alright! I won't smile anymore. Don't crash into me. If you end up as an idiot, I won't be responsible."
"Okay!" Liu Manyun sat down obediently.
Soon, the car stopped in the garage.
Liu Manyun followed Gu Xicheng and Lu Qing to their home.
"You're so rich, shouldn't you live in a big villa? This large apartment is luxurious, but it's a bit small for you!" Liu Manyun asked doubtfully.
Gu Xicheng explained:
"This place is close to Peking University and my company, so it's our temporary little home."
"As for the wedding house, it has been built and is being renovated. It should be ready by the time she graduates, and then she can move in."
Lu Qing exclaimed in surprise: "The wedding room is all prepared? How come I didn't know!"
Gu Xicheng smiled and pulled Lu Qing into his arms:
"You don't need to worry about these things. Once it's almost finished, I'll take you to choose furniture and arrange it in your preferred style."
"Yes!" Lu Qing nodded with a smile.
"By the way! Manyun, what would you like to drink? I'll pour you some," Lu Qing asked.
Liu Manyun: "Whatever."
Lu Qing: "Then let me pour you a glass of juice."
While Lu Qing was talking to Liu Manyun, Gu Xicheng went to the kitchen and cut some fruit for them.
"You guys eat first, I'll go cook."
Lu Qing: "I want to eat sweet and sour fish."
Gu Xicheng smiled and agreed:
"Okay, you little glutton!"
Liu Manyun clicked her tongue in envy: "Idol, do you think I'll ever find a man as good as your husband?"
Lu Qing: "You're from the Heavenly Mystery Sect, why would you ask such a question?"
A hint of melancholy flashed in Liu Manyun's eyes, then she chuckled softly:
"Yes! Everyone's fate is different, it's hard to say whether you'll encounter it!"
“Your destiny is hidden, otherwise I could have taken a look at it for you,” Lu Qing said.
Liu Manyun lowered her eyes, concealing the trace of sadness, and when she raised her head again, she had regained her cheerful demeanor.
"You don't need to look, my brother has already calculated it for me."
"He said that I would meet a man who is handsome, tall, gentle, talented, knowledgeable, and very good to me, and that I would live happily with him."
"That's great! Then I must congratulate you in advance. Don't forget to invite us to your wedding!" Lu Qing said with a raised eyebrow and a smile.
Liu Manyun nodded: "Of course we should invite you. You're so rich, a gift from you will cover the cost of the wedding banquet."
Lu Qing was both amused and exasperated: "The Heavenly Mystery Sect shouldn't be poor, so why do you seem so short of money!"
Liu Manyun pouted:
"Tianji Sect is not poor, but my brother is so stingy. He won't let me go out and earn money myself. He only gives me a tiny bit of pocket money every month, which makes me live a very difficult life."
Lu Qing: "Then I'll give you the money, and you can tell me what I want to know."
Liu Manyun choked, waving her hands repeatedly: "Idol, this won't do!"
Lu Qing chuckled: "Alright, I was just kidding."
She was still very curious about the secrets hidden by the Heavenly Mystery Sect, but she was no longer so eager to know them.
The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed; she couldn't let her curiosity harm others.
Soon, a delicious aroma wafted from the kitchen; Gu Xicheng had already prepared the meal.
"Dinner's ready!"
Upon hearing Gu Xicheng call out, Lu Qing took off running towards the restaurant.
The meal was simple, consisting of three dishes and a soup, and the portions were quite generous. Although it wasn't fancy, the taste was very good.
"Qingqing, do you want to travel abroad after the holiday?" Gu Xicheng suddenly asked.
Lu Qing was taken aback: "Go abroad?"
Gu Xicheng nodded: "Yeah! You haven't traveled abroad yet, do you want to go?"
Lu Qing's eyes lit up: "I want to go."
Gu Xicheng: "Then let's take you abroad during the May Day holiday. I'll help you get your passport and stuff."
"Just the two of us?" Lu Qing asked.
Gu Xicheng: "Ask Feifei and that opera singer later. Your friend can come along if she wants to."
The opera singer Gu Xicheng was referring to was naturally Ruan Yinchen, and Lu Qing couldn't help but laugh when she heard it.
Having such a brother-in-law is truly a hardship for Ruan Yinchen.
"Manyun, do you want to come with us?" Lu Qing asked.
Liu Manyun shook her head: "No, I have to go back to Tianji Sect. My brother won't allow me to go abroad."
Lu Qing: "Is he that strict with you?"
Liu Manyun nodded with an awkward smile, but when she lowered her eyes, a hint of helplessness flashed in them again.
After finishing their meal, Gu Xicheng and Lu Qing took Liu Manyun back to school. Just as she was about to leave, a car blocked her way.
The car window slowly rolled down, and a middle-aged man, whom Liu Manyun didn't recognize, looked at her.
"Little girl, do you know Liu Ruoke?"
Liu Manyun asked in surprise, "Uncle, do you know my mother?"
"Liu Ruoke is your mother!" the man exclaimed in shock.
Just then, Liu Mosheng appeared out of nowhere:
"Xiao Yunyun, why are you back at school so late? Where have you been?"
Liu Manyun paused slightly when she saw her brother:
"Brother, what brings you here?"
Liu Mosheng pulled Liu Manyun behind him, then looked at the man warily:
"If I hadn't come, you might have been kidnapped."
"Director Li, my sister is young and doesn't know any better. You can tell me what's wrong."
That's right, the person sitting in the car was Li Hui.
He looked at Liu Mosheng, and suddenly a tear welled up in his eyes:
"Who are you……"
"I am Liu Mosheng from the Tianji Sect."
"Your mother is Liu Ruoke, then your father is..."
Before Li Hui could finish his question, Liu Mosheng interrupted him:
"Who my parents are doesn't seem to be any of your business, Director Li!"
Li Hui: "Mo Sheng, I..."
Liu Mosheng coldly interrupted him again:
"Director Li, it's getting late, and my sister should go back to school. Please don't disturb her peace in the future unless necessary."
After saying that, Liu Mosheng pulled Liu Manyun away.
