When Li Peiyu arrived at the gate of the Lu family's old mansion, her steps seemed to be held back by an invisible force, and she hesitated to step inside.
The thought of meeting Lu Yuzhi's first love soon made her heart clench involuntarily, and a feeling of nervousness spread wildly through her body.
Various questions and worries kept popping into her mind.
Will the two rekindle their old flame?
The power of the white moonlight is deadly; can she withstand this threat?
Li Peiyu subconsciously looked down at her clothes again. She wasn't deliberately trying to be eye-catching, but she wasn't dressed casually either; it was probably appropriate.
Just then,
"What are you standing there for? Are you waiting for your husband?" Lu Yuzhi's familiar voice sounded behind her.
In fact, Lu Yuzhi knew perfectly well what Li Peiyu was thinking at that moment. He suppressed his laughter and deliberately teased her for fun.
"We're becoming more and more in sync; I can even sense when my husband is coming home. I'll wait for him at the door beforehand."
Li Peiyu blinked her clear, captivating eyes, looking innocently at Lu Yuzhi. He was teasing her so naturally; perhaps he wouldn't be stolen away by her white moonlight.
Lu Yuzhi harbored a wicked intention; her jealous and worried appearance brought him a sense of pleasure.
He took her slightly cool hand in his and said gently, "Come in, my princess."
The two walked into the hall together and saw everyone sitting together, chatting and laughing, in a harmonious atmosphere.
Lu Yuzhi smiled and said, "What are you talking about? It's so funny."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone fell silent, and all eyes were on the two of them.
Gu Hongxi also looked up and saw Lu Yuzhi holding a girl's hand.
After more than a decade apart, when they met again, the memory of the man's youthful affection for her seemed as distant as if from another lifetime.
Lu Yuzhi hasn't changed much; he's still as handsome and dashing as ever. On the other hand, her skin has become noticeably looser, and the years have left clear marks on her face.
Looking at the girl he was holding hands with, she was youthful and beautiful, with a lovely face. The two of them looked exceptionally well-matched standing together.
Gu Hongxi broke the silence first, saying, "Yuzhi, it's been a long time."
Lu Yuzhi also responded, "Long time no see."
"This must be Miss Li Peiyu." Back in Y country, Gu Hongxi had heard Gu Yan mention that Lu Yuzhi had a new relationship, and she also knew a little about Li Peiyu.
"Yes." Li Peiyu nodded slightly and responded politely.
"So beautiful. Yuzhi has excellent taste."
"Let's eat first, and chat while we eat," Lu Yuzhi said with a smile. As he spoke, he took Li Peiyu's hand and they naturally intertwined, as if declaring to everyone the close bond between them.
Li Peiyu was very satisfied with Lu Yuzhi's performance. Her heart was filled with joy, like fireworks exploding in the sky. A smile unconsciously crept onto her lips, and her eyes sparkled with happiness.
Then
The whole family gathered around the spacious and exquisite dining table to welcome Gu Hongxi back.
The table was laden with a sumptuous feast, each dish a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate, making one's mouth water.
The laughter and chatter of everyone blended together, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
Gu Yan said, "My mother came back this time because she was invited by the S Municipal Government. She will be involved in the design of the new art center."
Everyone exclaimed in surprise and showered him with praise.
Li Peiyu also said, "You're really amazing."
Without any title, she didn't know what to call Gu Hongxi—sister or aunt.
"Peiyu is also very capable. I heard she started an entertainment company and it's doing very well. It's remarkable that she has achieved so much at such a young age."
"I stumbled upon this by accident. Unlike you, who have real talent and exceptional ability."
Lu Yuzhi picked up a piece of food for Li Peiyu with his chopsticks and said, "Alright, you two stop flattering each other."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard Lu Yuzhi's words.
Li Peiyu lowered her head and ate her food, feeling embarrassed, with a strand of hair falling down.
Seeing this, Lu Yuzhi gently reached out and lightly brushed aside the strand of hair with his slender fingers. He carefully tucked the hair behind Li Peiyu's ear, his fingers lingering briefly beside her ear. The moment he touched her, Li Peiyu's face flushed slightly, and a sweet feeling welled up in her heart.
She subconsciously looked up and saw Lu Yuzhi smiling, staring intently at her.
Then Lu Yuzhi withdrew his gaze, picked up a soup spoon and ladled a bowl of sweet soup for her, gently placed it in front of her, and said with a smile, "Try this."
Li Peiyu took a small sip and found it surprisingly delicious. The sweet taste spread across her tongue, making her unable to resist taking one sip after another, and she soon finished the whole drink.
To everyone's surprise, Lu Yuzhi quickly served her another bowl, his eyes filled with a hint of doting affection.
She had a sweet tooth and couldn't refuse Lu Yuzhi's kindness, so she picked up the bowl and drank it.
He didn't touch the food again.
Lu Yuzhi asked with concern, "Have you eaten?"
"Mm." Li Peiyu nodded gently.
I'm full.
Li Peiyu sat for a while to digest. At this time, the soup in her stomach started to take effect, and she felt the urge to urinate. "Excuse me, everyone, I'm going to the restroom."
Just after I finished using the restroom and was tidying my clothes in front of the mirror, Lu Yuzhi suddenly walked in.
Without a word, he hugged her, placed her on the sink, and kissed her neck tenderly, his warm breath brushing against her ear.
"What?" Li Peiyu asked coquettishly.
"I want my reward." Lu Yuzhi's voice was deep and magnetic.
