Lu Yanci was three years older than her.
It can be said that most of these people in the industry grew up in Lu Yanci's shadow.
There's nothing we can do; some people are born to be the chosen ones, the ones everyone admires.
During high school, this was the name she heard most often.
Although he entered a top university, his legend from high school remains.
Every teacher wants to say it all the time.
They even whispered among themselves that Lu Yanci might have an extra brain.
Others are born as humans, he was born as a god.
Qi Jingchen's rapid rise to power is largely due to the Qi family's influence. Lu Yanci, while backed by a wealthy family, is a true self-made man who rose to become the respected CEO Lu.
Perhaps it's a case of heaven being jealous of talent.
No one would have imagined that such a legendary figure would die in a car accident.
She still remembered the exact time of Lu Yanci's car accident.
The reason I remember her is because her birthday became Lu Yanci's death anniversary...
They're all so pitiful.
Her family was destroyed because of a few rabid dogs.
Qin Yue cheered herself up and took her mother's arm as they walked toward the Western restaurant.
Aunt Lu has arrived.
However, there was another person with her.
Qin Yue was stunned.
The man's shirt was buttoned up to the top, his hair was neatly combed, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses sat on his high nose. He was composed and serious, giving off the air of an old cadre despite his young age.
The person in front of me suddenly overlapped with that black and white photo that I remembered so vividly.
The people in the black and white photo came to life...
Those calm, unwavering eyes were exactly the same as in the photograph, as if nothing could stir his emotions or see through everything.
When she looked over from afar, her breath seemed to be taken away, and the air seemed to freeze for a moment.
Their eyes met.
The strange look that flashed in his eyes, or perhaps she was mistaken.
Some people don't need to say a word; they just sit quietly, like those in positions of authority, giving off an invisible pressure.
Aunt Lu did not look haggard and desperate as I remembered. She was well-maintained and had an elegant demeanor. She could easily be mistaken for someone in her early thirties.
Upon seeing them, she immediately beamed with joy, stood up and walked over, took Qin Yue's hand, and said affectionately, "This must be Yueyue. You've become even more beautiful. As soon as you came in, your aunt's eyes were glued to you."
Qin Yue pursed her lips shyly and smiled as she replied, "Auntie is as beautiful as ever."
Aunt Lu smiled broadly and kept praising the child for his sweet talk.
The man on the sofa got up. He felt the weight was already high while sitting, and the pressure increased even more when he stood up.
He must be nearly 1.9 meters tall, right?
Aunt Lu and Mother Qin exchanged a glance.
Qin Yue understood everything perfectly well.
So, their afternoon tea date was just a pretense; it was actually a disguised blind date.
"Yan Ci, come here quickly. This is the little sister Yueyue that I've always mentioned to you. You even held her when she was born, remember?"
Well... it would be a problem if he remembered.
Qin Yue muttered to herself.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yanci thought about it seriously for a while and then shook his head.
As Qin Yue relaxed slightly, his gaze locked onto that delicate face, and his tone, as steady and powerful as he was, said, "I only remember her crying behind me when she was little."
Qin Yue: "..."
There's no need to recall her embarrassing moments so carefully.
Qin's mother and her husband couldn't stop laughing.
Aunt Lu, Tan Ying, helped her to a seat.
Qin's mother sat on the other side of Qin Yue: "Yueyue was indeed a crybaby when she was little. Her father and I spoiled her. We would give in to her every time she cried. This child would cry to anyone she could get a benefit from."
Lu Yanci sat opposite the three of them and nodded as if he understood something.
When we were young, our two families were closer than they are now.
She did indeed once squat down at his feet, hugging his trouser leg, crying and calling for her brother, all for a piece of candy.
Qin Yue actually pictured herself wearing a pink princess dress, sitting on the ground, grabbing someone's trouser leg, and wailing loudly.
Listening to their teasing, Qin Yue's fair cheeks flushed pink, and her watery eyes were filled with helplessness. She looked like a ripe peach hanging on a branch, fresh, tender, and sweet.
Lu Yanci glanced up casually, his hand tightening around the water glass, his gaze lingering for a few more seconds.
Tan Ying glanced at the two of them, cleared her throat, and said, "Let's talk. You two young people shouldn't just sit here with us. Yan Ci, take Xiao Yue to the nearby shopping mall. We'll call you when we leave."
There was nothing between her and Lu Yanci that needed to be transferred.
Staying here and listening to the two elders' teasing would only make things more awkward.
The two left the restaurant and walked along the roadside towards the shopping mall.
This is Qin Yue's first time going on a blind date in disguise, even though it's been two lifetimes!
It was still with Lu Yanci.
Seeing his face, all she could think of was that black and white photograph.
Help! How can I get that black and white photo frame out of my mind?!
Qin Yue turned her head and looked up, only to meet his gaze.
She paused for a second, then gave a polite smile: "If Mr. Lu has something to attend to, you may leave now. I will explain to your mother later."
"I'm fine, are you?"
Lying in front of him is a form of pressure.
Qin Yue shook her head subconsciously.
His expression relaxed for a moment, or perhaps it was just a normal breath.
"I'll just wander around the neighborhood for a bit, and then I'll come pick up my aunt and the others later."
"Oh, okay." Regardless of what the two elders meant, having someone to talk to in front of this bigwig in the business world was equivalent to having an extra connection, which could only be beneficial.
