After Zhou Qian finished her meal, she found that Lu Jing was missing. She said something to Liu Yalu and went to the yard to look for him.
After searching for a while, I found him under the garden balcony, leaning against the guardrail, toying with an unlit cigarette.
"Why is a person pretending to be profound here?" Zhou Qian approached him.
Hearing this, Lu Jing looked up at her and asked, "Why did you come out?"
"It's too warm inside, come out and get some fresh air."
Seeing that she was wearing little, Lu Jing pulled her in front of him and shielded her from the wind. "Are you feeling better?"
Zhou Qian pursed her lips and nodded. "Before this, I wasn't sure if I could adapt to a new family, and I was afraid to try new things. But it turns out that the power of blood is magical. Even if I resist, it will pull us together and merge until we can no longer be separated."
"You're great." Lu Jing tucked the loose hair around her ears behind her ears and looked at the genuine smile on her face. He was happy for her.
"Lu Jing, from now on, not only do I have a family, you do too." Zhou Qian put her arm around his waist. "They are also your family. We are each other's family."
Lu Jing was moved, and a gleam flashed in his eyes. He knew that she was afraid that he would think of his mother when he saw her family reunited.
Lu Jing pursed his lips and held her face, "So, Zhou Yiyi is proposing to me?"
Zhou Qian's big black eyes rolled around. "As long as you're not afraid of being beaten by grandpa, I'll beg you."
"I'm not afraid of my grandfather beating me, but I can't bear to make my wife kneel down."
Zhou Qian was touched by his sweetness, and the smile on her lips widened unconsciously, "Has your mouth been blessed recently? It's so greasy."
Lu Jing lowered his head and kissed her on the lips, "Forget that Zhou Yiyi likes to be so direct."
Zhou Qian pinched him and buried her head in his chest. The two of them hugged for a while, and Zhou Qian said softly, "Lu Jing, thank you."
"Thank you for what?"
"Thank you for not giving up on me, thank you for making me so happy, thank you for helping me find my family. I really feel so happy."
Lu Jing bit her delicate earlobe and whispered, "Baby, we can save these words for when we get home."
Zhou Qian just blushed and smiled secretly, ignoring him.
The two stayed outside for a while, and then Mr. Liang came over and asked Lu Jing to play chess with him.
The afternoon sun was shining brightly, so they simply set up a chessboard in the yard. The housekeeper was worried that they would be cold, so he placed a stove next to them.
Liu Yalu dragged Zhou Qian to look at her childhood belongings. A side room was filled with children's toys and clothes.
Although many years have passed, the color of the wooden horse and rocking chair is still as good as new.
"These were all made by your grandfather for you. You loved them when you were a kid and wouldn't get down after sitting on them." Liu Yalu said with a smile.
"Grandpa's craftsmanship is very good." Zhou Qian had no impression of these, but such realistic things would definitely be liked by children.
Liu Yalu opened the door of the wardrobe again. "Here are the clothes you wore when you were a child. I washed them one by one and kept them here."
She took out a small princess dress from inside and said, "When I first lost you, I had to hold these every night to fall asleep. Later, as time went by, I couldn't bear to look at these things anymore."
"Your grandfather was afraid that I would miss you, so he moved all your things here."
Liu Yalu still has tears in her eyes when she recalls her painful experiences.
Zhou Qian stepped forward and held her hand. "I'm sorry for making you sad."
Liu Yalu shook her head and said gently, "You are also a victim. You don't need to apologize. I am the one who should apologize. It was me who didn't think highly of you, which led to our separation for so many years."
Zhou Qian smiled in relief, "Then let's not say anything, let's just let this matter pass, our family will always be together in the future."
"Yes, we will never be separated again." Liu Yalu held her hands with both hands.
Zhou Qian took out a few colorful little dresses from the closet. They were very cute and beautiful.
“These clothes seem to be new.”
Liu Yalu said, "I made this for you, but unfortunately you threw it away before I could even wear it."
"It's not a pity. I will leave such beautiful clothes for my daughter to wear in the future."
Liu Yalu immediately had no regrets. "Yes, yes, you can leave them for your future children to wear. And we'll keep all these toys."
The mother and daughter became more and more excited as they talked, and they stayed in the room for the whole afternoon.
…
Seeing that Zhou Qian had not been seen for a long time, Lu Jing had no idea where his mind was in playing chess, and he was defeated by Mr. Liang in three games in a row.
"She's been missing for just a moment now, and her bottom feels like it's been pierced by nails. How could her own mother have kidnapped her?"
"Old Liang, please have some conscience. If it were someone else, you would weld their butt to the stool and they would run away." Lu Jing complained bitterly.
"You little brat, you have no respect for your parents. Be careful or I won't marry Xiao Qian to you." Old Liang threatened with a glare and a puff of his beard.
"You don't necessarily have the final say." Lu Jing sat in the chair in a frivolous manner, playing with chess pieces in his hands, looking a little cocky.
When Mr. Liang heard this, he became even more dissatisfied. "Why, as a grandfather, I can't decide my granddaughter's marriage?"
"That's not the case. It's just that your precious granddaughter has already secretly fallen in love with me. If I hadn't stopped her, she would have proposed to me."
"What?" Liang Laoteng stood up suddenly. "Xiao Qian proposed to you? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Lu Jing continued to boast, "Old Liang, just accept the reality. Your precious granddaughter can't live without me."
"I don't believe it. I'm going to find Xiao Qian to ask clearly." Old Liang walked towards the west wing with a menacing look.
Lu Jing raised his eyebrows. He could finally find a girlfriend.
When they arrived at the west wing, they happened to meet Zhou Qian and Liu Yalu coming out, and the mother and daughter were still saying this.
When Old Liang saw Zhou Qian, his heart softened. He still remembered to ask her something, and asked kindly, "What were you two talking about while hiding in there all afternoon?"
"We talked about Xiao Qian's childhood and looked at her toys and clothes. Xiao Qian said she wanted to leave her toys and dresses to her future daughter."
"You're not even married yet and you're still thinking about your daughter. How shameless!"
Zhou Qian was really not shy. She glanced at Lu Jing and said with a smile, "It's just a marriage. It will only take a few minutes."
When Old Liang noticed the way she looked at Lu Jing, his heart sank. It really looked like his precious granddaughter was trying to throw herself at that brat Lu Jing.
Liang Lao hurriedly said, "Why get married at such a young age? Besides, you need to find a boyfriend first before getting married."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qian opened his eyes wide and looked at Lu Jing beside him.
How had he managed to offend Mr. Liang all afternoon? Earlier, Mr. Liang had been trying to match her up with Lu Jing, so why was he now encouraging her to find a boyfriend?
This is a blatant disregard for Lu Jing!
