Although Lu Lin felt that this method was unreliable, he still considered the possibility of taking action on this matter.
"Sorry we're late."
A gentle voice pulled him back to reality.
"Yueyue, you're here."
Lu Lin got up and pulled away the seat next to him.
Lu Wanwan made a face at her sycophantic older brother and happily sat down in another seat right next to Gu Mingyue.
Are you feeling better? Have you been to the hospital?
When this was brought up, Lu Lin looked a little embarrassed, but still followed Gu Mingyue's words and continued, "I'm much better. The doctor said there's nothing wrong. What would you like to eat? Let's order."
After saying that, he quickly moved on from the matter, afraid that they would bring it up again.
Xing Yi and He Binglin let the two female comrades order first.
Lu Wanwan had already decided what she wanted to eat on the way. She liked meat, so she quickly ordered several meat dishes.
Gu Mingyue glanced at it and saw that it was basically the meat dishes that Xing Yi had mentioned yesterday, plus a few vegetable dishes and a soup.
After they checked it and found no problems, Lu Lin took the bill to the waiter to pay.
Seeing such a generous customer, the waiter's smile became even more genuine.
"Please wait a moment, comrade, the food will be ready shortly."
Although Xing Yi wanted to see Lu Lin make a fool of himself, he couldn't be so tactless as to sow discord at a time when his good friend had been single for so many years.
"Sister-in-law, when are you having your wedding? Lao He and I will take time off to come and attend."
Gu Mingyue and Lu Lin are currently in the dating stage.
The elders in the family all knew about this, but they didn't urge them to get engaged or married.
In the past, the elders worried that the two children wouldn't be able to get together.
Now that the two children are on the same page, they can simply inform their parents whenever they want to have a happy occasion.
At this point, Gu Mingyue naturally couldn't be too eager. She glanced at Lu Lin and said, "That depends on how someone behaves."
Xing Yi nodded slightly, "I understand, it's because Lao Lu didn't perform well enough."
Otherwise, according to Gu Mingyue's wishes, she would have agreed long ago.
Lu Lin immediately became anxious.
He explained, "I didn't mean anything by it this morning. I was just worried that you two would be scammed by bad people, so I thought we should go together."
Lu Wanwan pouted, "Big brother, my sister-in-law and I are adults, how could we be tricked? We're not children."
Lu Wanwan thought her older brother was good in every way, except that he was overly protective of his sister-in-law. If you didn't know, you would think he was taking care of the child.
Before I matured, my cold and impersonal nature was quite frightening.
Now that he's figured it out, he's become incredibly clingy.
It would be great if we could balance it out.
Gu Mingyue wasn't really angry; she just wanted to tease Lu Lin, finding his helpless expression rather amusing.
Gu Mingyue smiled slightly: "Alright, I'm not angry."
Actually, her idea was to wait until Lu Lin's leg recovered before the two of them got engaged and married in a step-by-step manner.
But now that I have the idea of starting my own business, I'll put this matter on hold for the time being and let things take their natural course.
If Lu Lin makes any offer, she will definitely agree.
In this era, most marriages were arranged by parents and matchmakers, and there were also cases like theirs where children were betrothed as children.
Often, the union of two people is based on family considerations, leaving her with no one to rely on but herself.
It's rare to find someone with such good conditions as Lu Lin. If her status as a capitalist's daughter were elsewhere, she would inevitably be looked down upon.
But if I were with Lu Lin, I wouldn't have these worries.
Grandpa and Grandma Lu treated her like their own child, and her parents also liked her very much. Not to mention, she had her good friend Lu Wanwan by her side.
Lu Lin is tall and handsome, and his status is prestigious. Marrying him wouldn't be a bad deal for you.
Lu Lin was unaware that his wife's affection for him was skyrocketing.
Hearing that his wife wasn't angry, he felt a little relieved, and a rare smile appeared on his lips as he said ingratiatingly, "I've prepared a gift for you. I'm sure you'll love it when you get home."
"Big brother, what about me? Don't I have a gift?"
Lu Wanwan's birthday is coming soon, and as in previous years, her older brother will definitely prepare a red envelope for her in advance.
My birthday is coming up soon, why hasn't my older brother made any gesture yet?
Lu Wanwan was anxious.
"What gift? That's a gift I gave to my wife. If you want it, ask your future partner for it."
Lu Lin felt that his younger sister was leading his wife astray, and he had to teach her a lesson.
Lu Wanwan thought her older brother was really angry, so the corners of her mouth turned down slightly, and she looked unhappy.
But thinking of Xing Yi and He Binglin, she forced a smile, looking like she was about to cry.
The meal was tasteless.
Even the food offered by her dearest sister-in-law couldn't cheer her up.
Gu Mingyue nudged the man's arm beside her and asked softly, "You really didn't prepare a gift for Wanwan?"
Gu Mingyue knew it was Lu Wanwan's birthday, and she prepared a gift for Lu Wanwan in advance.
Given Lu Lin's doting nature towards his younger sister, it's impossible that he wouldn't prepare something for Lu Wanwan.
Lu Lin glanced at his sister, and seeing that she hadn't noticed them, he whispered, "I'm ready. It's her fault for secretly taking you out to play. We won't tell her for now."
Gu Mingyue: Well, it's still the black-hearted sesame filling.
After the meal, Xing Yi and He Binglin had other things to do, so they wouldn't be able to see each other for a while.
Lu Lin also specifically reminded them that on the day they left, they should be told to come and see them off.
Lu Wanwan returned home dejectedly and collapsed onto the sofa as soon as she entered.
Seeing her granddaughter looking listless, Xia Huiying thought she had caught a cold. She touched her head and asked in confusion, "Huh? You don't have a fever, so why do you look so tired?"
"My dear granddaughter, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Did someone bully you?"
Xia Huiying hugged her granddaughter tenderly. She said angrily, "Who bullied you? Tell Grandma, and Grandma will beat them up for you."
Lu Wanwan's nose tingled, and she said in a choked voice, "Big brother forgot my birthday."
The Lu family places great importance on the ritual of birthdays, as it is the day they were born and the first day they came into this world is something to be celebrated.
Having been influenced by what they saw and heard, the two younger members of the family also attach great importance to birthdays.
The things Lu Wanwan looked forward to most every year since she was a child, besides the Lunar New Year, were her birthdays.
On this day, she can eat what she likes, play with the toys she wants, and receive loving gifts from her family.
Even when my brother goes on a mission, he always prepares a gift for me in advance, but now that he's at home, I haven't received a gift.
The young girl was a little overwhelmed.
Gu Mingyue looked at Lu Lin with a sly gaze. This time, things have really gotten out of hand.
"When Grandma scolds you later, I won't speak up for you."
"No, wife!" Lu Lin blurted out in a moment of panic.
Gu Mingyue blushed. "Who are you calling 'wife'?"
