Chapter 229 "Holding the Emperor to Command the Princes"



"oh."

"You don't know. Last time you went to Qingzhou, and this time when you came to Beijing, grandpa called me several times and I said I didn't know. I got scolded badly, even though grandpa and grandma were just worried..."

Lu Sinian began to act pitiful with an embarrassed look on his face.

——Since Xiaoli said he would “protect” himself, he will definitely not go back on his word.

Su Xiaoli was once again successfully lured into the trap by the upgraded version of the scheming BOY - "Green Tea" Lu Sinian.

The two had almost finished eating when the supervisor came back with the ointment.

Well, the “shrewd” supervisor is quite capable. He chose the right time to come back slowly.

Lu Sinian looked down at his watch and said, "It's only 8:30. I'll go back to the office and help you put it on."

Su Xiaoli's wrist actually didn't hurt anymore, but it was still early and Gu Feihan probably wouldn't be here yet, so it would be nice to go downstairs and take a walk.

Lu Sinian washed his hands and sat next to Su Xiaoli, "Give me your wrist."

"It really doesn't hurt anymore." Su Xiaoli was speechless.

Lu Sinian: "Why should I keep this ointment? Do I have to wait until my wrist is injured before using it?"

Su Xiaoli:?

That's obviously not what I meant.

Also, as the older brother, isn’t there something wrong with Lu Sinian’s tone?

Su Xiaoli was a little slow to react. Lu Sinian had already pulled her hand over and gently applied a layer of ointment on her wrist.

The fingertips that had just been washed with cold water were slightly cold, and the ointment was also icy, which made Su Xiaoli feel a little embarrassed for a moment.

By the way, isn’t this distance a little beyond the limit?

"I, I, I can do it by myself..." Su Xiaoli murmured, and quietly sat back.

Lu Sinian didn't answer her, nor did he let go of her hand until he had completely applied the ointment on her wrist, which still had a slight red mark.

Lu Sinian raised his head and said seriously: "I will be more careful next time."

Su Xiaoli again:?

...There won't be a next time, okay?

But looking at Lu Sinian's serious expression, maybe I was really overthinking it.

Lu Sinian's eyes curved slightly, and he stood up to wash his hands. He brought Su Xiaoli a cup of black tea, "Digest the food."

"Yeah." Su Xiaoli was not polite. Her brother was so considerate.

Lu Sinian looked at her meaningfully, lowered his eyes, and thought about something.

After a while, they chatted casually: "Grandpa and grandma have completed the registration in Hong Kong Island."

Su Xiaoli didn't expect Mr. Lu to be so decisive. "Okay, that's great."

"Grandma doesn't want to have a big wedding. She just wants to have a get-together with family and friends over there in Hong Kong Island."

Lu Sinian looked at Su Xiaoli, and after a moment's silence, he said, "Grandpa couldn't persuade grandma. He originally wanted to hold a grand wedding, but now he can only change it to a family dinner and a small wedding dance."

Su Xiaoli nodded.

She could understand her grandmother's thoughts.

By the time you reach my grandmother’s age, you’ve become more open-minded about many things. Fame, wealth, and favors from others are things that you cannot bring with you when you are born and cannot take with you when you die. Wealth and glory are just like smoke and clouds.

As long as the people you care about live well, that’s enough.

"I'll listen to grandma." Su Xiaoli stood firmly with her grandma.

Fortunately, she had a conscience and added, "Of course, it would be best if they agree."

Lu Sinian smiled, "Grandma also said that you would support her. Grandpa thinks that just a family dinner and a dance party is too simple, and he wants to take Grandma on a honeymoon after the wedding."

He glanced at Su Xiaoli who was slowly drinking black tea, and a complex look flashed across his eyes, disappearing in a flash.

He continued to consider, "But in this case, you mentioned before that you would get engaged after the college entrance examination...in terms of time..."

Su Xiaoli was stunned for a moment, then smiled without thinking: "I will definitely take care of my grandparents first. Their affairs are the most important. It will be in time for us to get engaged after they come back."

As for the major events in one's life, even if there is no one around, family members must be present, especially grandma.

She still remembered how her grandmother tried her best to protect her when she was just reborn. Su Xiaoli certainly wanted such a good grandmother to participate in every happy moment of her life.

Lu Sinian lowered his head and uttered "hmm" in a muffled voice.

When he raised his eyes again, his eyes had regained their most common warmth and clarity.

"Okay, I'll tell grandpa and grandma." Lu Sinian smiled at Su Xiaoli and spoke slowly and clearly.

Ever since Su Xiaoli's "Burning of Wuchao" in Xiangbai, Lu Sinian also started reading Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

——I don’t know if this can be considered another form of “using the emperor to command the princes”.

Let grandpa take grandma to travel around the world.

Su Xiaoli looked at her watch. It was already 9 o'clock. She didn't know whether Gu Feihan had arrived or not. She wanted to go downstairs and wait for him.

"Brother, do you have time tomorrow?" Su Xiaoli asked casually.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Lu Sinian was stunned.

Su Xiaoli stood up and packed her things. "There are many things to discuss about the new project and the next six months' plan."

"I've been here." Lu Sinian looked at her figure rushing downstairs, "I'll take you down."

At the elevator entrance, Lu Sinian handed her half a tube of anti-swelling ointment. Su Xiaoli took it and put it in her bag.

The two entered the elevator and went down.

Gu Feihan's car was parked outside the building, but he was not in the car.

Gu Feihan has actually arrived...

I wanted to confirm the appropriate location of the surveillance camera first, and then go to the top floor to pick up Xiaoli, but I saw the scene just now.

At this moment, he was standing in the stairwell on the 28th floor, trying to digest what he had just seen.

——Xiao Li came out of Lu Sinian’s room.

——Lu Sinian wanted to hold Xiaoli’s hand.

Gu Feihan wanted to chop off the hand that almost touched Su Xiaoli.

The blood is getting colder.

He somehow lit a cigarette to warm himself.

Xiao Li doesn't like him smoking, he hasn't touched cigarettes for a long time.

He took a sip and swallowed it into his lungs.

After finishing a cigarette, Gu Feihan took a while to relax before taking the elevator down.

"How did you come out from inside?" Su Xiaoli was surprised. She was looking around for Gu Feihan, and she went to meet him.

A faint smell of tobacco came over, and Su Xiaoli wrinkled her nose slightly.

Gu Feihan still looked at her with gentle eyes.

"I went to the top floor to pick you up just now, but I didn't expect you to arrive first." The strong and mellow smell of nicotine hit him again, along with his hoarse voice, with a tone that was neither sad nor happy.

Su Xiaoli didn't think about it any more and smiled faintly: "We just missed it, let's go home."

Under the night sky, the girl's eyes were as clear as a piece of fine crystal, pure and transparent, illuminating the darkness in Gu Feihan's eyes.

Gu Feihan finally smiled at her and nodded.

Su Xiaoli waved to Lu Sinian, "Brother, we are leaving now, you should also go to bed early."

Lu Sinian smiled gently, "Well, see you tomorrow."

Gu Feihan glanced at him vaguely, with complex emotions surging in his eyes, but they were forcibly suppressed in an instant.

In the car, Gu Feihan smelled a scent that did not belong to Su Xiaoli.

"What's that smell?" he asked.

Su Xiaoli reacted and put her wrist close to his nose, "Is this it?"

yes.

The men in the eyes of women and the men in the eyes of men are probably different species.
