The lawyer left on his own. Lu Qing sat in the passenger seat, while only Ruan Yinchen and Gu Fei were in the back seat.
The two people stood on the left and right, as if separated by a galaxy, yet one could still sense the atmosphere between them.
Whenever their eyes meet, they both look away, but after a while they unconsciously look at each other again, and then blush deeply.
Gu Fei had never been in a relationship, and neither had Ruan Yinchen; the two were as innocent as blank sheets of paper.
Gu Xicheng glanced in the rearview mirror and then gave Ruan Yinchen a sly glare.
Although this guy seems alright so far, he's still a long way from being able to marry his sister!
At this moment, Gu Xicheng never imagined that one day in the future, someone else would use these words on him.
When they arrived, Chu Panshan and Han Ziyuan had already been there for a while.
As soon as they arrived, the waiters started serving the dishes.
Lu Qing stared at the glistening roasted suckling pig, swallowing hard several times with craving.
"Uncle Chu, Aunt Chu, I'm so sorry, we had some things to take care of and we're late!" Gu Xicheng said with a smile.
"No, no, it's not too late! Please sit down!"
Han Ziyuan looked at Gu Fei and smiled:
"This must be Gu Fei. You've been at school all this time, so we've never seen you before."
Gu Fei responded with a polite smile:
"Uncle Chu, Aunt Chu."
"This is..." Han Ziyuan looked at Ruan Yinchen.
Ruan Yinchen immediately introduced herself: "Uncle Chu, Aunt Chu, hello, my name is Ruan Yinchen, I am Gu Fei's... classmate."
Han Ziyuan, having been through similar experiences, understood the situation by observing the atmosphere between the two of them.
As Gu Fei sat down, he whispered:
"Good taste!"
Gu Fei's cheeks flushed slightly. She glanced at Ruan Yinchen, and couldn't help but smile.
While they were busy exchanging pleasantries, Lu Qing had already quietly started gnawing on a pig's leg.
The crispy roasted pork skin, dipped in white sugar, is both sweet and fragrant. The pork is a perfect balance of lean and fat, tender and juicy, and paired with the special sauce, it's simply irresistible to Lu Qing.
Chu Panshan couldn't help but chuckle as he watched Lu Qing eat so heartily.
He quickly asked the waiter to bring up the other four roast suckling pigs that had already been roasted.
Knowing that Lu Qing had a big appetite, he ordered the entire roast suckling pig from the restaurant.
The suckling pigs weren't very big; four roast suckling pigs didn't yield a particularly large amount of meat, but eating too much of them could be greasy.
For an average person, one egg would be enough for four people, but Lu Qing didn't mind at all. She ate four eggs by herself, and only felt full after adding other dishes.
Those who had witnessed Lu Qing's appetite were not particularly surprised, except for Ruan Yinchen.
He was almost dumbfounded when he saw the mountain of bones piled up next to Lu Qing.
Because Ruan Yinchen practices martial arts and needs to maintain her figure, she is very strict about her diet.
When I first saw someone eating so much, I felt full just looking at him.
Seeing him put down his chopsticks, Gu Fei asked in confusion:
"Are you full already?"
Ruan Yinchen: "I... I've had my fill!"
Gu Fei couldn't help but chuckle: "She's always like this, you'll get used to it."
Ruan Yinchen nodded slightly and smiled:
Being able to eat is a blessing.
"Eat some more, otherwise you won't have any midnight snacks if you get hungry tonight."
Gu Fei used serving chopsticks to pick up some vegetarian dishes for him.
Ruan Yinchen didn't want to eat anymore, but she still ate some more dishes at Gu Fei's suggestion.
Chu Panshan and Han Ziyuan couldn't help but chuckle at Lu Qing's satisfied expression after eating and drinking his fill, but after laughing, they sighed with disappointment.
If their daughter were still alive, she would probably be about the same age as Lu Qing by now!
I wonder how she's doing, and what she looks like!
Lu Qing seemed to sense their sadness and offered words of comfort:
"Don't worry, the patriarch said it would take a month, so it will be at the latest a month. You will definitely be reunited with your daughter!"
"I hope so!" Chu Panshan sighed.
Seeing how persistent they were in searching for their daughter, Lu Qing couldn't help but wonder if her biological parents were also searching for her just as they were.
The master said that she was too young when she was found, and she had no birthmarks. No one knew where she came from. The only thing she had was a small silver lock with the character "Lu" engraved on it around her neck, which should be her surname. So she was named Lu Qing.
Her fate was special. Her master once thought of calculating the location of her biological parents, but he couldn't figure it out, so he gave up.
For so many years, Lu Qing had never thought of looking for her biological parents. But now, seeing Chu Panshan and Han Ziyuan so worried about their lost daughter, she couldn't help but envy their child.
With such wonderful parents, that girl will surely be very happy when she gets home!
After finishing their meal, everyone got up and left.
As they parted, Han Ziyuan held Lu Qing's hand and said:
"Young man, we might be busy with company matters in the next few days and won't have time to treat you to a meal. If you want anything to eat or need anything, just let me know, and I'll have the nanny make it and deliver it to your school, okay?"
Lu Qing waved his hands repeatedly:
"No need, no need! Aunt Chu, you can just call me Lu Qing or Qingqing, there's no need to be so polite."
"The school has a cafeteria with very good food, so you don't need to go to all that trouble. If there's anything I can do to help you, I won't hesitate to ask."
Han Ziyuan: "Alright then! We'll treat you to a meal after we're done with this busy period!"
As she spoke, she took out a jade bracelet of excellent quality and placed it on Lu Qing's wrist:
"This is for you. I personally picked out the material. A young lady shouldn't be empty-handed; she needs to wear something to ward off bad luck."
Lu Qing did not refuse.
She would have refused if it were ordinary jade, because she suffers from a cold ailment left by the demon poison and is not suitable to wear jade, but this piece of jade is a rare yang jade.
Jade is inherently yin, but yang jade is different; it has abundant yang energy and a faint blood-red color.
Wearing it will gradually expel the cold from her body, which is very good for her health.
Yang jade is hard to find, and ordinary people don't understand the distinction between yin and yang. It was fate that Han Ziyuan was able to give her this jade.
"Thank you, Aunt Chu. I'm sure your wish will come true and you'll be reunited with your daughter!" Lu Qing said with a smile.
Han Ziyuan: "Then I'll take your good wishes!"
After they parted ways, Gu Xicheng drove Lu Qing and the others back to school.
On the way, Lu Qing kept playing with the jade bracelet, looking very happy.
"You like bracelets that much? I'll give you a few more later!" Gu Xicheng said.
Lu Qing shook his head repeatedly:
“This jade is different; it’s yang jade, which contains yang energy and is good for my health. If I wore ordinary jade, it would cause me to suffer from cold symptoms.”
Gu Xicheng frowned slightly: "Do you have a cold-related ailment?"
"That's right! Five years ago, I killed a snow wolf demon, and the demon poison entered my body, leaving me with this bad habit. I get unbearably cold every full moon night."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xicheng remembered.
The day he was injured and hospitalized happened to be the fifteenth. It turned out that Lu Qing snuggled into his arms because of a flare-up of her cold illness, not because she liked him and couldn't help herself.
Thinking about this, Gu Xicheng felt a little frustrated.
It turns out he was just being delusional that day!
Could it be that Lu Qing kissed his wound later for another purpose?
Lu Qing once said that he was of the highest yang constitution, and his blood was full of yang energy. She kissed the wound to suck his blood!
Thinking of this possibility, Gu Xicheng felt so choked up that he almost couldn't breathe.
Upon arriving at the school, Gu Xicheng grabbed Lu Qing, who was about to get out of the car, and coldly said to the two people in the back seat:
"You two go first, I need to talk to Lu Qing alone!"
