"So! The content of your contract is not about keeping a mistress, but that she gives birth to the child and leaves, and you let the hospital save her grandmother and give her a sum of money so that they will never return to Jinghua?!" Mr. Lu exclaimed, and the crutches in his hand fell heavily to the ground. He pointed at Lu Peijing and started to curse, "Is this the contract you proposed?! Then why are you hurting yourself now? Isn't this the result you want?"

Lu Peijing looked quietly at the dancing old man, then lowered his eyelashes and said nothing.

"You are really getting more and more successful! You let someone give birth to a child, and the pregnancy lasts for ten months! Miss Su is still so young, her body must be affected, but you let a girl who just graduated from college give birth to triplets, and then drive her out, so that she can never return to Jinghua, and can't recognize her own flesh and blood! Are you sick in your brain!!" The more Mr. Lu thought about it, the angrier he got. His son has been rational, calm, and confident since he was a child. Maybe this is the first time in his 27 years of life that he has been so decadent, but he did something wrong this time. The old man continued to say, "If you really like her, what's wrong with pursuing her openly? Why do you have to come up with such a method! The girl's grandmother was seriously ill, and she had no choice but to agree to your contract at the time, but the initiative was all in your hands, so she naturally didn't dare to get emotional, and only thought about the contract! You regret it now? There's nothing you can do about it!"

Lu Peijing still said nothing.

He looked out the window. At this time, fine snowflakes were already floating in the sky, falling slowly and steadily.

"I'm afraid that I can't give her the future she wants," Lu Peijing said softly, "If marriage is a fetter, a shackle, it will make people unhappy, unfaithful, distrustful, suspicious of each other, and become the most familiar strangers, then I would rather she be free and happy."

Mr. Lu’s words got stuck in his throat.

He talked for a long time, but he forgot that it was him who made Lu Peijing afraid of marriage.

As a father, he was not faithful in his marriage and even brought his illegitimate child home, causing unrest in his family.

This is also the grudge between father and son.

Mr. Lu seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, and he fell into silence. "I didn't give my child fatherly love, but I hope my child can be happy. I can give his child fatherly love and give my wife the most loyal love."

"Go ahead and give it a try. You have to be bold once in your life. Ask her opinion and express your feelings." Mr. Lu spoke from the bottom of his heart. "Pei Jing, as a father, I hope you will be happy."

"good."

"I'll go find her."

At this moment, Lu Peijing's mind was filled with the ring.

That engagement ring.

After he threw it into the trash can, late at night, he knelt on the ground devoutly holding the bottle, then picked up the bright star and wiped it clean. He didn't want any cigarettes, alcohol or dust to stain the ring, so he held it tightly in his palm, and did not let go even when he was unconscious.

Now, it's time to return the property to its original owner.

The snow is getting heavier.

* In mid-December, after Su Zhiruan had made full preparations, he entered the examination room.

The school's master's admissions test is a self-designed exam, which is not easy to pass. After Su Zhiruan finished answering the questions, he already had a rough answer in his mind.

It should be stable this time.

As long as she passes the next interview, she will be able to enter this school to continue her studies next year.

After leaving the school gate, there were many candidates walking out, and the place was crowded and noisy.

She also walked among the crowd. This place was not far from her grandmother's flower shop, and she planned to go and help.

Just then, a bus slowly approached and she subconsciously looked back.

Unexpectedly, she seemed to see Lu Peijing at a glance! A man wearing a black windbreaker and with long legs got off the bus opposite. He didn't look at her, but seemed to be looking for something on his phone, frowning. His handsome face attracted many people's attention.

As soon as Su Zhiruan withdrew her gaze, she heard the girls around her whispering.

"Wow, that guy is so handsome! Is he a celebrity? I want to ask for his WeChat ID!"

"Come on, forget it. With that kind of looks and that kind of noble temperament, she must be from a prominent family or a celebrity. If we ask for her WeChat, we'll definitely be turned away!"

The two girls pulled each other and finally left Su Zhiruan's sight.

Su Zhiruan originally wanted to take another look, but found that the person who looked like Lu Peijing had already left.

She didn't think much about it. How could Lu Peijing come to such a place?

He should be in Jinghua.

Su Zhiruan returned to the flower shop very quickly. Her grandmother knew that she had an exam today, so she closed the shop immediately and took her home. She said with a smile, "Ruanruan is back! Grandma made a lot of delicious food. Let's go back and have a good meal. We are finally free!"

"Okay!" Su Zhiruan smiled and took her grandmother's arm, and the two of them snuggled up to each other and returned home.

After a delicious meal, Su Zhiruan had a good sleep in the afternoon.

Her current life is what she has always dreamed of. She has money, can continue her studies, and her grandmother is living the life she wants. Although she sometimes thinks of her children, the children will naturally get a better education in the Lu family with Lu Peijing. Even though Su Zhiruan is reluctant to let them go, she tells herself not to think about it.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

And Lu Peijing...

She was thinking about Lu Peijing who was admitted to the hospital a few days ago, and she didn’t know whether he recovered in the end.

After lying down for an afternoon, Su Zhiruan woke up and found that the sky had become much gloomier. There were fine raindrops floating in the air, and even the air was filled with the damp smell of rain.

She glanced at the weather forecast and saw that the drizzle would turn into heavy rain in half an hour and would continue all night. Her grandmother didn't bring an umbrella. Thinking of this, she immediately sat up and sent a voice message to her grandmother.

[Grandma, I'm going to bring you an umbrella now. Don't go out yet. We'll come back together later.]

There was no reply from the other end, but Su Zhiruan was not idle either. She quickly found her umbrella, put on her shoes and prepared to go out.

She walked to the flower shop holding an umbrella. The rain was getting heavier and the temperature seemed to be dropping. She was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt when she went out, and now her arms were feeling cold.

Just as Su Zhiruan took two steps at a time and stepped onto the stairs, in a flash, she saw a very familiar figure - Lu Peijing!

This time, she was sure! It was Lu Peijing! What was he doing here? She froze in her tracks. Across the rain, the man was standing under the eaves, wearing a black coat, black suit pants, and black leather shoes. He was very tall, and standing on the street corner, he looked like a man from a comic book.

Su Zhiruan took two steps forward and held the other umbrella in her hand tighter.

Then, she put on a coat with a scent of sandalwood, and felt a sudden warmth, as if she was hugged by someone.

And this is indeed the case.

The man came forward and hugged her uncontrollably.

"Ruan Ruan, long time no see."
