Upon hearing Lu Jingnian's tactful refusal, Lu's father stiffened.
He quickly thought of the mission Lu Jingnian would be undertaking soon, and his heart began to ache uncontrollably.
"You don't want us to settle in City A so soon because of the mission you're going to be on soon?"
Mr. Lu couldn't help but ask directly.
Lu Jingnian asked in a shocked tone, "You know?"
"I've managed to get to this position because I have some connections. Since I confirmed your identity, I've done some research on your work."
We happened to find out about this.
Mr. Lu looked at Lu Jingnian with heartache, "Child, I only know that you took on this mission voluntarily, but I don't know why you took on this mission."
I tried to stop them, to get them to replace you, but they couldn't find anyone more suitable, so I didn't succeed.
In the end, Mr. Lu felt very guilty.
"I volunteered to do this task, and I owe them a favor. Please don't do this kind of thing for me again."
I don't want you to do anything against your principles for my sake.
"Also, I hope you won't tell anyone else about this; I don't want them to worry."
Lu Jingnian did not explain why he accepted this mission, nor will he.
He was afraid that if he explained, and if he really didn't come back, Madam Lu and Father Lu would find out the reason for his mission and blame Jiang Yue for his death.
"I won't tell them, don't worry, I won't do anything against the rules."
Mr. Lu patted Lu Jingnian's shoulder tenderly, "You have to promise me you'll come back safe and sound."
He and Qintong really couldn't bear losing him a second time.
"I will try my best to come back alive."
Lu Jingnian nodded seriously, then glanced at his watch. "It's getting late, Yueyue and I should go back."
He has other things to do in the afternoon and can't stay here any longer.
As Lu Jingnian and his father left the study, Lu Jingnian heard Madam Lu laughing. Jiang Yue said something that made Madam Lu laugh uncontrollably.
"I never expected that this child could do something like this."
Mrs. Lu laughed until tears streamed down her face.
"What are you talking about, making you so happy?"
Mr. Lu had composed himself and walked to Mrs. Lu's side with a smile, asking her softly.
"Yueyue is telling me about some interesting things that happened to her."
Madam Lu smiled gently as she explained, then looked at Lu Jingnian and asked, "Jingnian, have you finished talking?"
"Um."
Lu Jingnian nodded and said softly to Madam Lu, "It's getting late. I have things to do this afternoon, so I'll have to take Yueyue and say goodbye first. I'll come back to see you when I'm done."
"You're leaving so soon?"
Madam Lu was reluctant to see Lu Jingnian and Jiang Yue leave so soon. "Can't you have lunch before you go?"
I'll go cook now.
They stayed in a suite, which included a study and a kitchen. Mr. Lu knew that Mrs. Lu didn't like eating out, so he specially arranged for this room to be booked.
"Auntie, Jingnian has work this afternoon, so he won't have lunch."
Jiang Yue walked over and took Madam Lu's hand. "I know you're reluctant to part with us. How about this?"
I don't have work tomorrow. Huahua and I will pick you up and take you shopping. In the evening, you and your uncle can come to my house for dinner.
Uncle hasn't met my father yet, has he? He'll be back tomorrow night; perhaps he can have a few drinks with you.
Mr. Lu nodded with a smile, "Qintong, I think Yueyue's suggestion is good. You've been cooped up in the hotel all day since you came to City A. You're going to be bored to death."
Let Yueyue go shopping with you; it'll help you clear your mind. I also wanted to visit Brother Jiang; let's go together tonight.
Madam Lu held Jiang Yue's hand reluctantly, then looked at Lu Jingnian.
Lu Jing said softly, "I'll be home tomorrow night too."
Upon hearing this, Madam Lu reluctantly said to Jiang Yue, "Yueyue, come to see me early tomorrow. I wake up early in the morning, and we can have breakfast together tomorrow."
"good."
Jiang Yue readily agreed, "Auntie, you must go to bed early tonight, we're going to go to so many places tomorrow."
If you don't get enough rest, you'll definitely be too tired to walk.
"I will definitely get a good rest tonight."
Madam Lu nodded repeatedly, promising to get a good rest.
After leaving Madam Lu and her father, Jiang Yue and Lu Jingnian went downstairs to pick up Old Man Chen.
Old Chen had nothing to pack, so when he saw Lu Jingnian and Jiang Yue arrive, he picked up his small, tattered bundle and left with them.
After bringing Old Man Chen downstairs, Jiang Yue took advantage of the time Lu Jingnian went to get the car and quietly said to Old Man Chen, "Master, I know you've figured out about the lifespan I gave Jingnian."
Please, whatever you do, don't mention this to Jing Nian, understand?
Old Chen nodded knowingly. "So this kid didn't know about this. Alright, I understand. I'm not one to gossip."
"But I'm afraid you can't keep this a secret for long. The person who linked your fates together didn't use any sophisticated methods. The people behind that kid know quite a few masters. I can see it, and other masters can see it too. I can't guarantee they won't tell that kid."
Jiang Yue explained, "I didn't intend to keep it from him forever. Didn't you realize that he would soon face a fatal calamity?"
I did this simply to help him through this life-threatening ordeal. The Taoist priest who helped me said that once I helped him through this ordeal, our lives would be completely intertwined, inseparable. Even if he discovered it then, I wouldn't be afraid.
"Deathly Calamity?"
Upon hearing this, Old Man Chen suddenly turned his head to look at Lu Jingnian, who had already driven the car over.
Lu Jingnian just got out of the car. Old Chen looked at him, did some calculations with his fingers, and whispered to Jiang Yue, "Little girl, you probably really have some problems."
If you hadn't mentioned it, I really wouldn't have realized that this kid was destined for a fatal accident.
But you can rest assured now. After you shared your lifespan with him, his impending death is slowly fading away.
"Really?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yue was overjoyed. The fact that Lu Jingnian's near-death experience was slowly dissipating meant that he would be alright.
"Of course it's true, otherwise how could I not have noticed at first?"
Old Chen rolled his eyes. "Your master is very powerful."
"My master is naturally the most powerful."
Jiang Yue gave Old Man Chen a charming smile.
"snort!"
Old Chen gave a haughty snort, walked towards the car, and swaggered into it.
Jiang Yue walked over, and Lu Jingnian opened the car door for her with a smile, asking her in a low voice, "What did you talk about with Master? Why does he seem angry?"
Jiang Yue whispered in his ear, "Master just said that judging from your face, you will definitely have several sons in the future, but no daughters. I said that what he said was not accurate, and that we will definitely have several daughters, and he got angry."
