Chapter 3 Meeting the Parents (Bonus Chapter)
The "sugar daddy" was wearing a soft, dark gray hooded sweatshirt paired with slim-fitting black trousers, looking fresh and clean, just like a handsome senior in college.
He casually propped one long leg on the ground, while the other foot rested on the pedal, his posture upright yet not stiff.
He seemed to have waited for a while, his head slightly turned as he looked at the flow of people in front of the library, his eyes calm and carrying a composure that was somewhat incongruous with his age.
As Ling Wei approached, his face became clearer in the light and shadow.
It was a face with excellent bone structure, delicate features without any sharpness, and the most captivating thing was its pair of amber eyes, with slightly downturned corners, giving it a focus and gentleness when it looked at people.
However, Ling Wei couldn't help but look at his lips. They were full, with the peaks of his lips naturally upturned when he pursed them, and the lower lip had a healthy blush. You could tell at a glance that they would be especially soft to kiss.
system:"???"
Is this correct? Right off the bat?
Lu Yan is currently a senior at Beijing University, one of the nation's top universities, located just two streets away from the Beijing Film Academy.
He is not yet the future CEO who will lead the Lu family business empire with decisive and efficient actions.
Ling Wei jogged over, slightly out of breath: "Mr. Lu, should I go change my clothes first? Or put on some makeup?"
She pointed to her plaid shirt and jeans, which she wore for comfort and convenience, and her face, which she wore without colored contact lenses and only with black-rimmed glasses for studying.
Lu Yan turned his head at the sound, his gaze falling on her. He looked her over carefully, his eyes lingering on the top of her head for a moment, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips: "No need, this outfit is fine."
Once Ling Wei was settled in the back seat, the electric scooter emitted a soft hum and smoothly drove off.
She instinctively grabbed his clothes at his waist with both hands. The early autumn wind, carrying a coolness, brushed against her cheeks. Lu Yan's muffled words drifted to the back seat on the wind, carrying a hint of barely perceptible mischief: "It's better to take the thing on your head off."
Ling Wei was taken aback. She reached up and touched the top of her head, where she touched a small, plastic-like object.
She used a pink bangs curler to make it easier to curl her bangs while studying; they were sold for 9.9 yuan for three with free shipping on Pinduoduo.
I just casually uploaded it while I was studying.
Ling Wei: "...The system?"
The system, sensing the chill, quickly protested, "Your Majesty, please understand! This humble subject is unaware of whether this was your intention!"
I thought you wanted Lu Yan to see your smooth and intelligent forehead...
Ling Wei: "..."
Lung fog!!
Because of this incident, Ling Wei remained as quiet as a chicken in the back of the car.
Fortunately, when they were almost at their destination, Lu Yan broke the silence and briefly explained the situation of the dinner party to her, which relieved her of some of the embarrassment.
The dinner was organized by Lu's parents, and the Li family, a long-time friend of the Lu family, would also be present. The Li family has a daughter who is about the same age as Lu Yan.
Lu Yan disliked this kind of arranged marriage, so after his father mentioned it casually, he took the opportunity to have Ling Wei as his "girlfriend".
Upon hearing the lineup for the dinner party, he immediately contacted Ling Wei, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.
Ling Wei understood.
No wonder he dressed so casually, and she was carrying a canvas bag that looked very much like a student.
The two of them standing there perfectly embody the typical couple on a university campus. Their last date might have even been at the library or a study room, making it feel incredibly real and believable.
After getting out of the car, she took a deep breath and once again pledged herself to Lu Yan, even subconsciously raising her fist with a serious and earnest expression: "Mr. Lu, I guarantee to complete the mission!"
Looking at her as if she were about to go to war, Lu Yan paused for a moment before reminding her, "...Let's change how we address each other first."
Oh right, right, right!
Ling Wei readily complied, immediately flashing a perfectly sweet smile and softening her voice slightly: "Ayan."
When the girl smiled, her peach blossom eyes, which were hidden by her glasses, were instantly illuminated. Her eyes sparkled with intelligence, leaving Lu Yan momentarily stunned.
He initially thought that the face resembled Su Yuqing's, and even thought that Su Yuqing herself was in trouble when they first met, so he subconsciously went to her rescue.
But now, that vivid expression, those cunning yet pure eyes... clearly don't seem like it.
Changing the way she addressed him wasn't enough. Ling Wei seemed to have completely gotten into character, and thoughtfully suggested, as if she were extremely considerate of Lu Yan, "Um... Ayan, to make it seem more real and natural, shall we... hold hands?"
Before Lu Yan could respond with any objection, she had already reached out and taken his hand, which was hanging at his side, very naturally.
His hands carried the slight chill of the autumn wind, but his palms were dry and warm, his long fingers easily enveloping hers.
When her fingertips accidentally brushed against his warm palm, she could feel the steady pulse beneath his skin and the slightly rough texture of his calloused skin.
Sensing the man's hand stiffen momentarily and show a barely perceptible resistance, Ling Wei remained unfazed, as if she were merely conducting business, and added confidently, "Since I'm going to play this role, I will definitely do my best in this task. No detail can be overlooked. Please cooperate, Mr. Lu."
She acted as if she were the one who paid to hire someone.
Lu Yan: "..."
He looked down at their clasped hands. The girl's hands were small and soft, with slightly cool fingertips, yet they held his fingers tightly and firmly.
He ultimately said nothing, which was considered tacit approval.
Ling Wei, taking advantage of the situation, immediately stuffed the canvas bag she was carrying onto his shoulder into his free hand: "Helping your girlfriend carry her bag is an essential part of being a loving couple."
Lu Yan took the canvas bag, his hand sinking as it was pulled down.
Lu Yan: "..." He's very hardworking.
The Lu family's arrangements were very thoughtful and considerate. They did not choose private clubs that required membership and had extremely high thresholds, but instead took into full account Lu Yan's student status and set the location at a restaurant not far from the university, known for its exquisite dishes and elegant environment.
The attire of Mr. and Mrs. Lu also reflected this consideration of keeping a low profile.
They wore no ostentatious logos or extravagant jewelry, yet their clothing revealed excellent tailoring and fabric quality, fitting comfortably and subtly showcasing their taste and status.
Their smiles were gentle, their attitudes friendly, and they seemed no different from ordinary parents who were looking forward to their children bringing their partners home. Their demeanor exuded a composure and gentleness that came with the passage of time.
At their social class, there is no longer any need to rely on external things to flaunt their status. Instead, they pursue a simpler, more authentic way of life and value sincerity and comfort in their interactions with others.
