Chapter 211 Shortcomings
Children rarely receive pocket money, and most of them couldn't help but show joy when they heard this.
Some of the children had learned to read people's expressions early on, so they did not rush forward to receive the red envelopes. Instead, they carefully looked at Dean He's expression.
The Lu family's parents had discussed the red envelope issue with Dean He early in the morning. Dean He did not intend to stop them and said to the children with a smile, "Why don't you thank Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu quickly?"
The children immediately cheered and thanked the Lu family’s parents loudly.
The Lu couple smiled until their eyes narrowed into slits, and said repeatedly: "Be good! They are all good children, everyone has one, don't fall behind!"
The couple had a great time satisfying their desire to please the God of Wealth and had a great time giving out red envelopes.
Xu Youyou had maintained a healthy lifestyle over the past year and had no plans to stay up all night to celebrate the New Year, but before she could leave the restaurant, she was stopped by Lu's mother.
"Kid, why did you forget to receive the red envelopes?" Mother Lu stuffed two red envelopes into Xu Youyou's hands.
Xu Youyou was stunned: "Auntie, why are there two red envelopes?"
"Your uncle and I will each give one. This is how we do it in our family. It's not good to change the rules suddenly." Mother Lu said with a smile.
Only then did Xu Youyou notice that the children in the orphanage also received two red envelopes each, and it was obvious that Lu's mother did not lie.
"But I'm not a child anymore." Xu Youyou said casually.
Mother Lu reached out and patted Xu Youyou's arm, saying, "In our eyes, you will always be children."
Xu Youyou smiled helplessly, but did not refuse in the end, because she just saw that Lu Jingyao was also forced to give two red envelopes by Lu's father, and even Assistant Liu and Xu Fang beside him got two red envelopes.
After finally breaking through the siege and leaving the restaurant, Lu Jingyao caught up with him again.
"I'll take you back to your room. Be careful, the road is slippery." Lu Jingyao said.
In fact, the entire orphanage was brightly lit today, and the short distance of a few dozen meters back to the room required personal escort.
Lu Jingyao reached out and held Xu Youyou's hand again. He couldn't hide the smile on his usually cold face. On the one hand, he hoped that this road could be longer, but on the other hand, it was freezing outside and he was afraid that Xu Youyou would get cold if he stayed there for too long.
In his wild thoughts, this road finally came to an end.
"Happy New Year." Lu Jingyao said softly, and then like a magic trick, he took out a palm-sized gift box and stuffed it into Xu Youyou's hand.
"What is this?" Xu Youyou asked.
"New Year's gift." Lu Jingyao replied.
"Are you ready early in the morning?" Xu Youyou asked.
Lu Jingyao nodded slightly.
Xu Youyou looked at the handsome and tall man. Even though the walls of the orphanage behind him were moldy and falling off due to disrepair, he was still so dazzling.
She casually opened the gift box, revealing a jade bracelet that was entirely emerald green.
The water head is excellent, and it is obviously valuable at first glance, and it even has a warmth that comes from the passage of time.
"This doesn't look like an ordinary jade bracelet. Does it have any origin?" Xu Youyou asked.
Lu Jingyao showed a rare look of confusion on his face, and said in a low voice: "It's a jade bracelet passed down from my family."
Xu Youyou suddenly felt that this gift was a bit hot: "If I hadn't promised you to give it a try, would you have given me this gift?"
"No matter what, I hope you are its owner."
Lu Jingyao's voice was deep and elegant like a cello. Xu Youyou felt her ears burning when she heard such a confession.
"Happy New Year." After she said this, she suddenly stood on tiptoe and flew into her room like a butterfly.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Lu Jingyao didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
He still felt like it was just a dream, but there seemed to be a lingering gentle touch on his face.
Behind the door, Xu Youyou stood against the wall for a long time, her cheeks gradually getting hot in the dark. She couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Was her behavior too unrestrained? She couldn't help but think that in front of the handsome man, being looked at so gently by the usually arrogant man, she really couldn't control herself.
"Never mind, I'm a super rich woman now, and I deserve such a good man." Xu Youyou said quietly in her heart.
Since she became rich, she has become much more confident and her sense of worthiness has increased dramatically.
She even thought that she was already clean enough now. If it were someone else, they would have ordered eight male models a day and lived a life of sensual pleasure.
If Lu Jingyao dared to betray her one day, she would not only not shed tears pitifully, but would also fly around the world and spend money to have the most handsome guy in the world to make her happy.
Xu Youyou's mind was in a mess. She tossed and turned in bed for nearly two hours before she fell into a drowsy sleep.
The next morning, when she came out of the house, she saw Lu Jingyao playing with Guaiguai in the yard downstairs.
Before she could say anything, Lu Jingyao suddenly looked up and saw her. He waved at her and said, "Did you sleep well? If not, you can take another nap. If you wake up, I'll go make wontons for you."
Xu Youyou tilted her head, and suddenly felt that the surroundings were unusually quiet: "Where are the others? Where did they go?"
Lu Jingyao said, "Dean He went to a relative's house, and my parents went to visit an old friend. The children played too hard last night, and many of them didn't get up."
The children received double red envelopes last night, and they were not well behaved in their beds the whole night, all thinking about what snacks to buy with the money. Because it was Chinese New Year, the adults did not supervise them too much, so the children chattered until midnight before falling asleep quietly.
Half an hour had passed by the time Xu Youyou finished washing up and went downstairs. As soon as she entered the kitchen, she saw Lu Jingyao, wearing a custom-made coat, stirring the pot with a spatula in clumsy movements.
Xu Fang standing by looked like she wanted to help but didn't dare to step forward.
As for the top assistant, he was sitting behind the earthen stove, lighting the fire with skillful movements, and occasionally asked, "Boss, do you want the fire to be a little stronger?"
Seeing Assistant Liu feeling like a fish in water, Xu Youyou once again felt that he was worthy of being called an all-round assistant. He adapted to the environment so quickly. If it weren't for his obvious successful outfit, she would have almost thought he was a fire-maker with ten years of experience.
It’s just that the boss of an all-round assistant is not an all-round boss.
Xu Youyou didn't expect that Lu Jingyao, a hexagonal warrior, actually had shortcomings.
"Mr. Lu, you can fish it out now. If you don't, it will melt!" Xu Fang couldn't help but remind him.
When Xu Youyou ate the bowl of wontons made by Lu Jingyao himself, she frowned slightly at the poor appearance. When she put it in her mouth, she couldn't help feeling a little disgusted. Too much salt was added and it was so salty that it tasted bitter.
After one day of dating, Xu Youyou felt the urge to break up.
