When Lu Yi fell asleep, the east was already turning white.
Butler Hua came to the door and eavesdropped several times, but he couldn't hear any sound from Lu Yi.
Downstairs in the restaurant, Fan Shenglun was chatting happily with a strange girl.
The news of his marriage to Miss Gu had just broken when another girl showed up at his door early in the morning. It seemed suspicious!
However, after carefully examining the girl, he realized she didn't seem to be there to confront him.
She was very well-mannered, dignified and polite. As soon as she sat down, she coaxed Fan Shenglun, who didn't have a good appetite, to eat two bowls of vegetable porridge.
Seeing this, the nannies were so grateful they almost cried.
He gestured at Butler Hua and asked him about the girl's background.
"Could she be my goddaughter?"
Butler Hua muttered to himself.
No, if she were his goddaughter, Fan Shenglun wouldn't have kept it a secret.
Back then, when he first recognized Lu Yi, he was so happy he couldn't wait to announce it to the world...
Lu Yi rolled over, suddenly woke up, and picked up his phone to check the time.
"Thank goodness it's the weekend, otherwise..."
Without Su Yu's help in taking notes, he would have to attend the lectures himself.
However, since he has no classes on the weekend, he has two days to adjust his schedule.
Yawning, Lu Yi went to the bathroom to wash up, then put on a loose-fitting navy blue loungewear and opened the door.
Seeing the butler's retreating figure as he came downstairs, they quickly called out to him.
"Uncle Hua, where is Dad?"
Last night, Fan Shenglun mentioned Sheng Tou, saying he would take him to the company today and have dinner with the downstream suppliers.
It's clear that Fan Shenglun is now genuinely interested in nurturing him.
"Mr. Fan is at the restaurant... entertaining guests!"
The housekeeper used a vague title.
Regardless of whether they came to see Lu Yi or not, they were all guests of the Fan family.
It is certainly not presumptuous of me to say this.
"A guest? Who is he, coming to see him so early in the morning? Someone from the company?"
Lu Yi grabbed a handful of his still-dry hair, picked up a towel, dried his head, and draped it over his shoulder.
"I don't know him very well either. What would you like to eat, Young Master Yi? I'll have the kitchen bring it over."
"Noodle soup, please!"
Lu Yi said casually.
"What a coincidence, that girl also ordered noodle soup. Perfect timing, I'll ask the kitchen to make an extra bowl."
Butler Hua's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly went downstairs.
"girl?"
Lu Yi took the towel, placed it on the handrail, and strode down to the first floor.
Liang Shiyue's long hair cascaded down her back. She wore a light blue dress with a beige shawl casually tied around her chest.
She was talking to Fan Shenglun with a smile in her eyes, but when she looked up and saw Lu Yi, the words she was about to say stopped abruptly.
"Yi'er, come and sit down!"
"I happened to run into Xiaoyue at the door while I was taking a walk this morning, so I invited her over to have breakfast together!"
He ignored the slight unease on Lu Yi's face and spoke casually.
"I was going to call you, but Uncle Fan said you weren't up yet, so..."
Liang Shiyue has become much more mature and reserved.
But upon seeing Lu Yi, she was still visibly flustered.
Fan Shenglun stood up, pulled out a chair, and his expression became serious.
"I've finished eating. I'm going to the study to work on a few documents. Yi'er, take good care of Xiao Yue. She'll come to the company with me this afternoon."
A meaningful look made Lu Yi nod unconsciously.
This bowl of noodles was a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate, but Liang Shiyue found it utterly tasteless.
Lu Yi escorted her to the parking space. After hesitating for a while, Liang Shiyue stared at Lu Yi's face for a few seconds before finally speaking with difficulty.
"Lu Yi, I've come here to..."
"Say goodbye to me. When are you leaving? I'll see you off!"
Lu Yi put his hands in his pockets, turned around, and continued walking forward.
"Could you...could you please listen to what Aunt Qin has to say?"
Liang Shiyue almost bit her tongue as she uttered those words.
She lowered her head in shame, feeling a gaze sweep across her cheek like a feather.
Then, the toes of a pair of sneakers appeared in front of me.
Liang Shiyue blushed all the way to the roots of her ears.
No one knew better than her the grievances Lu Yi suffered in the Lu family, yet now, she was the one willing to act as Qin Fengying's advocate.
Turning her face away, Liang Shiyue swallowed hard.
"I heard from Aunt Qin that Coco has been quite ill recently, and she doesn't even recognize her family members."
"Isn't the Gu family pushing you into a fire pit by getting her engaged so hastily?"
"Putting aside the agreement between you and me, what kind of girl couldn't you find? Why her of all people?"
When Liang Shiyue heard this news from Qin Fengying, her mind went blank.
It took me a while to regain a bit of clarity.
Fan Shenglun said he gladly accepted, while Liang Shiyue could only use her blessings to hide her devastated feelings.
At this moment, she could no longer pretend that she knew nothing.
Even if Qin Fengying hadn't asked her to come, she would have come to see Lu Yi on her own initiative.
"If Uncle Lu were still alive, would he be able to accept Gu Keke?"
Liang Shiyue felt flustered under his gaze. Following her inner struggle, she choked back tears and looked up.
Touched, she grasped his hands and said, "Lu Yi, you've had enough. Things have only just gotten better. There's no need to make things harder for yourself, right?"
"You came here just for this?"
The sunlight at eight or nine o'clock shone through the sparse branches and fell on Lu Yi's furrowed brows. He sighed in disappointment.
Feng Qing clearly conveyed this intense emotion to Liang Shiyue's ears.
She opened her mouth, trying hard not to sound like she was just jealous, "Anyone is fine, just not Gu Keke, even Jiaojiao... okay?"
The words her mother had tirelessly reprimanded her at that moment became a clamp, clamping her heart and turning it over on a red-hot iron plate.
