oared into the night sky and burst in the highest place, illuminating the darkness brightly… Outside, the crowd was cheering and watching the fireworks. I could vaguely hear Lu You's voice."Wow!"Lu S...Lu Qian sneered, "If you hadn't gotten your butt so dirty, would you need your old man to wipe it for you The Si family has even come to your mother's place."

Lu Shu surprisingly didn't argue with him.

He whispered lowly, "Dad, I'm sorry! I can promise you anything, but I can't marry Si Anran."

Lu Qian endured and endured, saying: "Then what do you plan to do You said you would wait until Xiaoxun gets married before you get married. What if she never marries Won't our Lu family be left without an heir"

Lu Suo said slowly, "Isn't there still Lu You"

"Don't you dare have any ideas about your little sister She's too young to handle anything serious."

Lu Shu was lost in thought.

Lu Qian thought for a moment and then said, "Lu Shao, I'm not unwilling to agree! But think about it, Xiao Xun being with you, she would only have to face your mother There's also the entire Lu family and the eyes of the world... That matter will sooner or later be exposed. You're a man, at most people will just tease you for being a bit of a playboy, but Lan Zi Mei's past will all be held against Xiao Xun. Will you be able to protect her then"

Lu Shuo didn't speak again.

He had considered all of this, otherwise, he wouldn't have given up so easily after realizing he was falling for Lu Xun.

He lit a cigarette, but didn't smoke it. He just let it burn.

Lu Qian got up, and Fang's secretary quickly put a coat on him.

Lu Qian spoke softly, "I'll go back to city C with your mother this afternoon! It's your Uncle Liu's birthday on New Year's Eve, so you should go back two days early!"

Chen Shuo nodded.

Lu Qian suddenly became furious again: "Prepare well for the ceremony! You did this shameless thing, and your Uncle Liu is still in the dark!"

Lu Shuo glanced at him.

Lu Qian walked away with a light hum.

……

Fang, the secretary, sent the guest away and upon her return, Lu Shuo instructed her thoughtfully, "Prepare birthday gifts for our elders. There's no limit to the budget, just make them look dignified and grand."

Secretary Fang had a good understanding of the situation.

Lu Shu sat there for a while, lost in thought.

Secretary Fang couldn't help but speak up: "Mr. Lu really likes it, why not give it a try! Miss Lu grew up abroad since she was young, so..."

She didn't say anymore, but Lu Shuo understood what she meant.

He married Lu Xun abroad and kept her there.

Lu Shuo smiled faintly: "She may not want me either."

Fang's secretary didn't dare speak anymore, but her words had dropped a heavy stone in Lu Shuo's heart. He had thought about it too, but he felt it was too unfair to Lu Xun.

……

On the eve of Chinese New Year, Lu Shuo returned to city C.

Lu Yuan was decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, creating a festive atmosphere for the Chinese New Year. That evening, Lu Qian also invited Mr. and Mrs. Liu (the secretary) over for dinner. The whole family had a lively and joyous celebration.

Lu You is 20 years old, and she is still the same as when she was a child.

White and tender, very cute.

Lu Shuo calls Liu Shu, but she insists on calling him Liu YeYe (Grandpa Liu) and keeps asking for a red envelope for the New Year.

Liu's secretary was very kind to her, and she got a particularly thick blanket for Lu You. Lu You took it and happily showed it to Lu Shuo: "Brother, you know I care about you."

Lu Shao pinched her nose: "You're so grown up and still want red envelopes, aren't you a little embarrassing"

Lu You hugged his neck softly and said, "Brother, you're 26 years old and still haven't found a wife. I'm worried for you!"

Lu Shuo looked at her, Lu You stuck out her tongue and dared not tease him anymore.

Lu Shuo looked at Liu's secretary: "Uncle Liu, why didn't you bring Lu Xun"

Ms. Liu smiled and said, "Oh! Xiao Xun didn't come back alone. She brought that fake foreigner named Ye Bai with her. Foreigners love to eat out, so Xiao Xun has been spending a fortune entertaining him!"

Mrs. Liu glared at him.

"What a fake foreigner, Ye Bai is pureblooded, isn't he"

Liu's secretary disagreed: "He keeps switching between Italian and Spanish with every call. He's either a phony foreigner or something."

Mrs. Liu was so angry that she refused to speak to him.

Lu Shu smiled faintly: “He’s multilingual, quite an impressive person.”

"Liu's secretary pointed to her chest: "I have muscles! You don't know how well I train, firm and solid. If it wasn't for his face, I would think he was a young girl!"

He went from bad to worse...

Lu You's face flushed, she hid beside Lu Qian and secretly listened.

Mrs. Liu slapped her husband: "Eat your food, and stay out of the children's business! You exercise too much; you don't need to be so skinny!"

Secretary Liu took a sip of wine and ate a large piece of meat.

Lu Shuo also ate silently, but he didn't touch the wine and stopped speaking.

Ms. Liu, after having a few drinks, was quite chatty. Not long after the meal, Mrs. Liu was about to lead him away... Lu Qian said worriedly: "Zhanzhi had too much to drink! Let the driver send him home!"

Mrs. Liu did not refuse.

At this time, Lu Shuo picked up his car keys: “Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu, I’ll drive you.”

Mrs. Liu saw him like this and immediately got a headache. She put on a fake smile and said, "Why don't you let the driver take you Lu Suo, you just came back today, get some rest early."

"It's fine!" Lu Shuo said softly.

He then turned his head to Lu You and said, “Didn’t you want to go outside and see the lanterns”

Lu You quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes!"

She hugged Lu Shuo's arm, resting her little head on his shoulder: "Brother is the best!"

She reached into his coat pocket again and pulled out a small red envelope.

Mrs. Liu had no choice but to agree.

The four of them set off, with Lu You sitting beside Lu Shuo and chattering non-stop. After a long while, she complained, "Brother, you haven't said a word! You promised to accompany me to see the lanterns, but this atmosphere is just…"

Lu Shu smiled faintly: “Lu Xun should be at home. I’ll call her out to keep you company in a while”

Lu You did not dare to breathe.

In their family, Lu Xun is a taboo. His older brother even dares to call people out to see the flower lanterns

Mrs. Liu was the first to object.

But Secretary Liu, surprisingly enough, lacked common sense and readily agreed. "Exactly! Little Xun always stays home and is lonely. Besides that muscle-bound foreigner, she doesn't have anyone to keep her company. She can play with our little Luyou."

Mrs. Liu pinched him hard.

Liu's secretary cried out in pain.

Lu Shuo's lips curved into a faint, almost gentle smile.

Lu You whispered, "I wonder if Elder Sister Lu Xun will give me a red envelope!"

The light was red ahead, Lu Shu stopped the car and patted his sister's head: "She wouldn't let me. I'll make it up to you."

Ms. Liu, drunk, didn't hear him.

Mrs. Liu is not someone to be trifled with. To hear this clearly, what does it mean Xiao Xun's red envelope was made up for by Lu Shuo, isn't that like a married couple

Mrs. Liu was a bundle of nerves.

Her gaze was complex, staring through the rearview mirror at that well-mannered and handsome young man, wondering what he might be up to!

Lu Shu did not evade.

He also looked quietly at Mrs. Liu...

Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of the Liu residence. Mrs. Liu helped her husband out of the car, and Xiao Lu ran into the house from inside the car. She knew Lu Xun, but they didn't often interact.

The villa was warm. Lu Xun sat on the sofa reading a book.She had no other choice.After adding him as a friend, Huo Yunshi didn't send any messages. After ten minutes of agonizing waiting, An Ran called him again: "Huo Yunshi, let's talk.""I'm waiting for yo...
