"Young Master Yi is here!"
"Young Master Gu, Miss Lu has called home several times, and she sounded very anxious..."
The maids of the house swarmed around the two of them, chatting and laughing.
Knowing that Lu Yi would become the Gu family's son-in-law, they were overjoyed.
They were really worried that a pure girl like Miss Coco would marry someone else, but if she married Lu Yi, they would be more than happy to do so!
Gu Huainan handed the gifts from the car to them, and the servants whispered among themselves as they withdrew.
She looked at Lu Yi with a face full of surprise and doubt, "Bao Yun? Why is she calling home instead of me?"
Lu Yi took out several boxes of gifts from the trunk. The Gu family's butler, who had sharp eyes, quickly called someone over and took them from him.
Seeing that the two young masters still had private conversation to discuss, he casually pointed to the pavilion in the corner of the courtyard.
"Young Master Yi, Second Young Master, some tea and snacks have been prepared over there. Why don't you go over there and rest for a while?"
This was something Fan Huijun had instructed her to do.
She wanted to talk to Lu Yi beforehand to avoid him getting angry with Fan Shenglun.
"Okay, tell my dad we're back!"
Gu Huainan called out to the butler's retreating figure, then pulled Lu Yi around the flower corridor.
He fiddled with his phone, muttering to himself, "Your fourth sister is really something. I'm not home, but she still calls the house. I call her back, but she won't answer..."
Lu Yi stopped in his tracks, looking like he wanted to say something but then stopped.
Why was Qin Fengying so anxious, as if she were riding on fire, that she stopped him outside the Gu family's door?
The reason is that she believes that if the Lu family and the Gu family form a marriage alliance, they will be talked about behind their backs for the rest of their lives and will never be able to hold their heads high!
This was even harder for her to accept than when she embarrassed herself at Lu Yi's coming-of-age ceremony!
Just as she herself said, those in the know say that her Lu family and the Gu family have a marriage alliance, so the Lu family doesn't suffer any losses.
But who doesn't know that Lu Yi had long since severed ties with the Lu family?
If he and Gu Keke really got together, Qin Fengying herself felt that it would be a bigger loss than marrying off her two daughters!
"What's wrong with her? What did she say to you?"
Gu Huainan grabbed Lu Yi's arm and shook it hard. In the ripples in Lu Yi's eyes, he suddenly saw his own anxious face.
He abruptly pulled his hand back and slapped his head.
"How stupid of me! How could I not have thought about her feelings!"
Gu Huainan casually shoved Lu Yi and strode back.
Lu Baoyun must have seen the message Gu Keke released. She's naturally sensitive and observant, so it's no wonder she overthinks things.
It's infuriating! He was so engrossed in watching Lu Yi's antics on the way that he had no idea that his own backside was already on fire.
"Baoyun, where are you... I just got back to Jiangzhou... Don't hang up, I'm coming to find you, send me your address..."
He jogged to open the car door, not daring to waste a single minute.
As soon as Lu Yi sat down on the wooden chair, the engine roared away in the courtyard.
"Yi'er, you're finally back!"
Fan Huijun lifted the hem of her skirt and hugged him with teary eyes.
She wore a loose-fitting linen floral dress, and smelled of the sweet, milky scent of a new mother... and a light milky fragrance.
Her long hair was neatly styled and casually tucked behind her head, exuding charm without being ostentatious.
"Sis, I'm fine. But you, why did you come out into the cold wind? Shouldn't you be in your postpartum confinement period?"
Lu Yi tightened the plain-colored cardigan draped over her shoulders and tactfully withdrew his hand.
He got up and gave up the spot in the sun, then sat down on the chair next to him.
"I heard from Huainan that you encountered Madam Lu on the road. Did she give you any trouble?"
Fan Huijun pulled him along, and seeing the crisscrossing scars on his palms and the thin, bony fingers, her eyes welled up with tears again.
What did the Huo family send him to do? In just a few days, he's become so thin!
"No, it's all the same old stuff, I'm used to it!"
I've gotten used to it, and I'm numb to it.
Just by hearing Qin Fengying's name, you can guess what she's going to say without even seeing her face.
"Speaking of which, this is Dad's fault. I don't know what's wrong with him lately, he keeps talking to me about this girl and that girl."
“Looking around Jiangzhou, there are quite a few people who have a good relationship with our Fan family, but there are indeed not many who are familiar with you.”
Fan Huijun really didn't know how to start the conversation.
I had no choice but to ramble on and on to lay the groundwork first.
"Where is Xiaobao? I haven't seen him yet..."
Lu Yi gave an irrelevant answer, his eyes darting furtively towards the living room.
Fan Huijun rolled her eyes in displeasure, touched his face with both hands, and forcefully turned him back.
"Xiao Bao is sleeping. There will be plenty of opportunities to see him later. I'm talking about you now!"
Lu Yi was forced to look her in the eye, unable to ignore the tenderness in her eyes, and felt a little itchy and reluctant.
"I almost didn't get a chance!"
Lu Yi gave a nonchalant smile.
"There's no rush to see it. That little thing is nothing compared to you!"
After saying this, Fan Huijun was suddenly startled.
She quickly turned her face away, widened her eyes, and tried to hide the feelings she herself hadn't even realized.
"I'm a grown man, I won't die so young!"
Lu Yi rarely saw Fan Huijun in a low mood. He racked his brains but couldn't come up with anything funny to cheer her up, so he could only make fun of himself.
Yes, the short-lived Lu Yi has already extended his life.
That's very difficult!
An international assassin's triangular bayonet was able to take down the robust Dongzi, but the weak Dongzi miraculously survived. Isn't this a blessing from heaven?
"Pah, pah, pah! Don't talk nonsense!"
Fan Huijun burst into laughter through her tears, giving him a subtle, furious glare.
"I don't know what's wrong with that old man, he suddenly became interested in your marriage. Gu Keke is naive, but what exactly is she..."
