Chapter 534: I'm Going Away
In the next few days, Fu Shanzhan could not take leave because of a project, so Qiao Yunxue took Qiao Yanzhou and Xu Yan out to play alone. At noon on the third day, Lu Ye happened to have time, so the family went to have dinner with him. The meal was booked at the restaurant by Lu Ye.
When Lu Ye knew that Qiao Yanzhou and Xu Yan were coming to Beicheng, he said in advance that he would treat the two elders to dinner. They had known each other for so many years, and now that Lu Ye was developing in Beicheng, it was normal for them to have a meal together.
Nearing twelve o'clock, Qiao Yunxue parked the car near the restaurant and got out with Qiao Yanzhou and Xu Yan. When they arrived at the restaurant, they found that Lu Ye was already waiting at the door.
"Teacher Qiao, Madam." As soon as Lu Ye saw the two elders, he stepped forward to greet them with a smile.
Qiao Yanzhou and Xu Yan also smiled. "Xiaoye, long time no see. How have you been lately?"
Lu Ye: "I'm fine, let's go in and sit down and talk."
Qiao Yunxue didn't interrupt, but followed them upstairs while playing with her phone.
There was a long table in the box. Qiao Yanzhou and Xu Yan sat on one side. In order to make it easier for them to talk, Qiao Yunxue sat at the other end with Lu Ye. She didn't realize there was anything inappropriate. She and Lu Ye were too familiar with each other. They had known each other since they were wearing open-crotch pants. They had always sat like this when eating with their elders since they were young.
Lu Ye also knew the two elders' tastes very well, so Qiao Yanzhou and Xu Yan basically didn't need to worry about ordering food. He could arrange everything clearly by himself. He even specially ordered Qiao Yunxue's favorite snack, osmanthus mung bean cake.
When Qiao Yunxue heard Lu Ye order this dish, she turned to look at him and raised her eyebrows.
Lu Ye: "You don't like it anymore?"
Qiao Yunxue: "I like it, but I didn't expect you to remember it so clearly."
Lu Ye: "After all, we've known each other for twenty years. It's not like I can't remember this."
Qiao Yunxue: "But I haven't eaten it for a long time."
Lu Ye: "This restaurant's food is pretty good. You can take some home and enjoy it later."
Qiao Yunxue waved her hand and said, "Forget it, I'll just eat one or two pieces to satisfy my craving. I can't eat more."
"Why can't I eat more?" Xu Yan was curious. "Don't you like this snack the most?"
Qiao Yunxue pouted: "I'm afraid of getting fat."
Xu Yan: “…”
Lu Ye: "You're too worried, considering your small size."
Qiao Yunxue shook her head twice without explaining much, but Xu Yan and Qiao Yanzhou vaguely guessed why she was worried. The couple looked at each other and understood each other tacitly.
No matter how easygoing and unpretentious Fu Shanzhan is, he is, after all, a rich young man. If Qiao Yunxue marries him, she will be marrying up considering her family background, and will inevitably be watched by people in their circle. Presumably, someone made some unfriendly remarks about her appearance before, so she took note of it.
In the past few days, when we ate together, Qiao Yunxue ate very little - she has never had a big appetite since she was a child, but recently she has eaten as little as cat food. If this continues, it will affect her health.
After a while, the waiters came over to serve the dishes. Qiao Yanzhou and Xu Yan casually asked a few questions about Lu Ye's work, and then asked about his love life.
Xu Yan: "Xiaoye, have you found a girlfriend?"
Lu Ye: "I'm still young, there's no rush. I can still find someone when I'm around 30."
Xu Yan: "If there's someone suitable, we can try to get along. I have a friend's daughter who also works in North City. She works in a bank and just got the job. How about I arrange for you to meet someone else someday..."
"Master's wife, please forgive me." Lu Ye smiled helplessly and raised his hands in surrender. "I really don't have the mood for this right now."
Qiao Yanzhou: "Don't force him. Don't be anxious. Wait until he wants to find you before you show your enthusiasm."
Qiao Yanzhou thought it was a good thing that Lu Ye was concentrating on his work now. He wished Qiao Yunxue could have the same ambition. Unfortunately, she was a love-brained person. The only person she talked about all day long was Fu Shanzhan, and any topic of conversation would always turn to Fu Shanzhan.
They are already married, and having a good relationship is certainly a good thing, but seeing how deeply Qiao Yunxue is in love, it would be a lie for her parents to say they are not worried.
"As a workaholic, it's probably difficult for you to experience the joy of love." After listening to their conversation, Qiao Yunxue gave Lu Ye a summary with regret.
Lu Ye was forced to laugh at her: "Are you really that happy?"
"Of course." Qiao Yunxue raised the corners of her mouth, and when she spoke, the air around her was filled with pink bubbles.
Lu Ye looked helpless, at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Looking at Qiao Yunxue's expression, she must have been getting along well with Fu Shanzhan in the past few days - Qiao Yunxue's emotions were written on her face. If she had a conflict with Fu Shanzhan, her expression would be as if the sky was falling.
It seemed that he didn't need to bother asking her what the outcome of their last argument was, as it was obvious that they had reconciled.
…
Most of the dishes ordered by Lu Ye were Qiao Yunxue's favorites. She couldn't resist the temptation and ate a lot, and her belly was bulging.
As soon as she put down her chopsticks, Qiao Yunxue touched her stomach and began to feel annoyed: "It's over, I ate too much."
Lu Ye: "It's just a meal. You won't gain weight. Don't stress."
Qiao Yunxue: "I don't have time. My mother-in-law's birthday is this weekend, and I have to wear a cheongsam."
She looked down at her stomach and vowed, "I'm going to go on a hunger strike for the next two days."
Lu Ye: "You're already very thin, stop struggling."
Xu Yan couldn't help but ask her directly, "Did anyone say anything about you? Don't take those bad words too seriously. Being too thin is not healthy."
Qiao Yunxue is 1.65 meters tall and weighs a little over 100 kilograms, which is even considered thin in medical terms.
Qiao Yunxue: "No one said anything to me."
That is, on the eve of her wedding with Fu Shanzhan, she met a lot of people in their so-called circle. There were so many girls prettier than her, and many of them were obviously interested in Fu Shanzhan. Although she knew that Fu Shanzhan only liked her, she still felt a sense of crisis when faced with such a situation.
Lu Ye: "I thought Fu Shanzhan disliked you."
Qiao Yunxue: "How could that be? He praises me every day, so he wouldn't dislike me."
Lu Ye: "That's fine, as long as Fu Shanzhan thinks you're good, don't worry about others."
As soon as Lu Ye mentioned Fu Shanzhan, Qiao Yunxue received a call from Fu Shanzhan.
When she saw the caller ID, her eyes lit up and she immediately pressed the answer button.
Qiao Yunxue: "Why did you call me?"
Fu Shanzhan: "I'm done with my work today and have already left the company. Where are you?"
Qiao Yunxue: "I'm having dinner on Beixiao Street."
Fu Shanzhan: "Then I'll go over now, it'll take about ten minutes."
Qiao Yunxue: "So fast?"
Fu Shanzhan: "Have you forgotten my company's address?"
Qiao Yunxue smiled awkwardly. She really didn't remember it on purpose.
After finishing the call with Fu Shanzhan, Qiao Yunxue said to Qiao Yanzhou and Xu Yan on the other side, "Shanzhan will be here soon after he finishes his work."
Qiao Yanzhou and Xu Yan nodded.
Lu Ye: "I'll go first."
Xu Yan: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Lu Ye didn't respond and looked at Qiao Yunxue.
Qiao Yunxue immediately understood what he meant and shook her head. "That's not necessary. My parents are here."
No matter how stingy Fu Shanzhan is, he wouldn't go crazy just because Lu Ye invited the two elders to dinner, right?
