Chapter 225 A wife ran away, a husband ran away
"Please eat, don't be shy."
Lu Wanxing also sat down and said, but as she ate, she noticed that the person opposite her was enjoying the meal.
Then he couldn't help but ask, "May I ask your age?"
Lu Wanxing felt a little embarrassed.
I was genuinely curious.
"Oh, my age? I'm not even fifty yet, am I still very young?"
"Pfft!" Lu Wanxing was glad she hadn't eaten anything.
Otherwise, we really wouldn't be able to hold on.
What kind of joke is this guy playing?
Looking like this, he's not even fifty?
"Ahem! Are you sure you didn't lie about your age?"
"Hey! Little girl, I, Lu Chengbo, am not that kind of person. I am what I am. I may have had gray hair before, but I still look very young, don't I?"
Lu Chengbo still looked smug.
I look old, but I'm actually very young.
"Then why were you knocked to the ground by me when you're so young? I shouldn't have that much power, right?"
"No, I was just hungry," Lu Chengbo explained, waving his hand.
"...Your family seems quite wealthy, right? Why don't you let them do it? And what about your children? What are they doing?"
Lu Wanxing was genuinely puzzled.
"Money can't buy the taste of home. As for my family, I have no family. My wife ran away, and I have no children."
As he spoke, his expression suddenly turned somber.
"Feel sorry."
Lu Wanxing felt a little embarrassed, after all, she had suddenly brought up someone else's sad story.
"It's alright, it's been over twenty years, and I'm used to being a lonely old man now."
Lu Chengbo seemed unconcerned and continued eating his breakfast, clearly enjoying it very much.
I ate until my belly was completely full this morning.
However, he still looked at Lu Wanxing's belly and asked, "By the way, did you come here with your husband? Your belly looks quite big."
Now it was Lu Wanxing's turn to fall silent.
"No, I came here with a friend."
Lu Chengbo also suddenly fell silent.
No one expected that this young woman, who looked so young, would be unmarried.
The look in his eyes as he looked at Lu Wanxing inexplicably carried a sense of sympathy.
"I never imagined we'd be in the same boat."
Lu Wanxing: ? ? ?
She frowned at him, as if asking, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
How did we end up feeling the same way?
"Isn't that right? My wife ran away, and your husband ran away too, and we even met here. Aren't we in the same boat?"
Lu Wanxing fell silent.
She then weakly offered an explanation, "Is it possible that I ran away because I didn't want my husband?"
Now it was Lu Chengbo's turn to widen his eyes.
It seemed that no one expected Lu Wanxing to say such a thing.
She simply said she didn't want a husband...
It's somewhat shocking, but looking at Lu Wanxing's appearance, it seems understandable.
"Well done, little girl! So you were running so fast just now, were you hiding from someone? But something about you looks familiar?"
"Really? I did feel someone tapping me just now, that's why I walked faster."
Lu Wanxing assumed that the old man was just trying to start a conversation by saying that he looked familiar. However, the old man seemed easy to talk to, and she had just thought he was a pitiful old man.
But once you sit down to chat, you'll find that they have a strong presence; when they sit face-to-face with you, they exude an aura of authority.
Lu Wanxing felt as if she were having a business dinner with these people.
He doesn't look like a pitiful old man at all.
"You seem to have a good family background. Your wife ran away, can't you find another one?"
Lu Wanxing didn't actually believe that any man could actually do that—wait a lifetime for just one person.
Life is too long; no one can predict when they will meet someone they like.
Perhaps some people do spend their whole lives proving it, but such examples are too few and far between.
Especially this old man in front of me, he looks quite wealthy, doesn't he want to find another one?
She even wondered if he was having a lot of fun outside.
"I'm not looking anymore. I'll just wait for her. Maybe if she sees that I'm not looking anymore, she'll stay with me?"
Lu Chengbo said with a smile.
Lu Wanxing shook her head helplessly.
"Then why did you leave in the first place?"
“It was my family that forced her to leave. At that time, my family wanted to arrange a marriage for me, so they created a misunderstanding. By the time I came back, she was already gone.”
"Didn't you look for it?"
"It's a pity I didn't find it."
Lu Wanxing nodded, "That is indeed a bit of a pity."
"Sigh, so many years have passed in the blink of an eye. I wonder how she is doing?"
Thinking about the past, Lu Chengbo's eyes became somewhat melancholy.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Our life is pretty good now, isn't it? We're free and easy."
Lu Wanxing changed the subject and then talked about some things here. Lu Chengbo finished all the food on the table.
Seeing that it was getting late, he then said, "Thank you for your hospitality today. I enjoyed the meal very much, so I'll be going now."
He got up as he spoke, but before leaving, he made sure to introduce himself.
"By the way, my name is Lu Chengbo."
Lu Wanxing nodded at him.
I never expected to have such a connection in a foreign land.
So he smiled and waved back.
Daiyu went out very early in the morning, so now that she's gone, Lu Wanxing asked the servants to clear the table and then went out to water the flowers.
Once I got here, my days consisted of work and these flowers and plants.
The controversy surrounding him domestically has gradually subsided.
She's going to start her new life here.
There are also company matters that I need to start designing myself.
The patterns for next year's Spring Fashion Week have already started to come out, and Lu Wanxing went to the company in the afternoon.
She was wearing a relatively loose-fitting style, and people wouldn't really notice that she was pregnant unless they looked closely.
However, one can glean some insight from their walking posture.
Everyone in the company knows Lu Wanxing, but everyone has signed a confidentiality agreement. So even though some people know that Lu Wanxing is pregnant and are surprised to see her here, no one will leak the news.
Nobody is stupid enough to get into this company.
There's no need to ruin your future career for a trivial gain.
Lu Wanxing's treatment here is considered very good, but once someone is blacklisted by their company in the industry, they basically can't find the same job in the industry.
That's why he said he ruined his career.
Everyone greeted Lu Wanxing by her name in a friendly manner.
The person in charge of the head office was also Chinese. He met Lu Wanxing when he was at his lowest point and then followed a young girl.
Even today, I've watched Lu Wanxing get through it all step by step.
