“If I remember correctly, Xiao Qifeng is 30 years old this year, while you are only 24. The age difference between you is quite large.”
The cigarette in his hand was still burning. He had no intention of continuing to smoke, but the strong smell of smoke made Xu Jingxing's furrowed brows relax and his nerves become more excited.
"I think it's okay. Age isn't a problem, as long as he treats me well."
Although Lu Wanzheng was worried that Xu Jingxing would object to her and Xiao Qifeng, it was still important to maintain the right attitude no matter what.
"Alright, I won't interfere in your own affairs anymore. I have one last question: are you living together or separately now?" He had called Aunt Ye not long ago to ask about Lu Wanzheng's recent life, but Aunt Ye said that Lu Wanzheng hadn't been living at home lately. When asked where she had been, she gave evasive and incoherent answers. Now, considering that she was dating, he finally understood the reason.
Lu Wanzheng didn't expect Xu Jingxing to ask such a insightful question. Of all the other questions, he only asked this one.
In order not to anger Xu Jingxing and to avoid the embarrassment of being exposed, she honestly answered: "We are living together now, in the same house, but not in the same room or on the same bed."
Hearing Lu Wanzheng admit it with his own ears, Xu Jingxing cursed under his breath, but before he could finish, his mind went blank and he didn't say anything harsh.
"Alright, I understand. Take care of yourself and don't give yourself away easily." He hung up the phone after giving these instructions.
The busy signal in her ear clearly told Lu Wanzheng that she had escaped a disaster, and the expected storm of angry curses had not occurred.
The tension in my mind snapped, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
Before answering the phone, she had already imagined that Xu Jingxing would most likely go to great lengths to break them up after he found out she was dating. Just now, her brain was racing, considering how to use her silver tongue to speak well of Mr. Xiao and then get Xu Jingxing not to object to her dating Mr. Xiao.
...I just didn't expect that none of what I had just thought of would be useful.
It seems she still doesn't understand or care enough about Lao Xu...
Having escaped the ordeal, she leaned weakly against Xiao Qifeng behind her.
Xiao Qifeng bent his long arm and supported her. His hand was warm, and he felt an invisible force flowing into his body.
Although Xiao Qifeng did not hear what Xu Jingxing said, he could tell what question the other party asked based on Lu Wanzheng's words.
Hearing the girl's answer, the gentle smile on his lips could no longer be hidden.
He murmured, "I didn't expect to be so good in Miss Lu's eyes."
“Mr. Xiao has always been a good person in my eyes. He’s rich, handsome, and most importantly, he’s very considerate. As the saying goes, ‘Details determine success or failure.’ Others may think you’re cold, boring, and there’s a big age gap between us. They may not understand why I like you, but no one can say that we’re not suitable to be together. I see all your good qualities, and you are someone I want to cherish.” Lu Wanzheng spoke softly.
These words were not intended to flatter Xiao Qifeng.
Aside from his appearance, she also liked Mr. Xiao's inner qualities.
For example, she likes to eat shrimp, so Mr. Xiao will buy a lot of fresh shrimp and put them in the refrigerator. Even today's shrimp is like that... Originally, she hadn't prepared this dish. It was Mr. Xiao who took the initiative to make shrimp. He also knew that she didn't like peeling shrimp, so after the meal, he kept peeling shrimp for her.
