Chapter 597: 595 Lu Qingyi: Do I have kindness written all over my face?_1

The Xu Boyan they were seeing now was someone none of them had ever seen before.

Having liked Xu Boyan for so many years, it wasn’t possible to simply stop liking him. The only option was to gradually forget him.

Seeing Xu Boyan like this, Tang Yaxin felt happy. Xu Boyan and Lu Qingyi were truly a perfect match.

"You deserve better."

Tang Gaozhuo said slowly to Tang Yaxin, his heart aching for his little sister.

"Brother, when are you going to bring a sister-in-law home?"

Tang Yaxin quickly changed the subject, her smile faint as she asked Tang Gaozhuo.

Tang Gaozhuo: "We’ll talk about that later."

"Aren’t you going to greet them?"

Lu Qingyi pulled out a chair and sat down, she looked at Xu Boyan as she spoke.

Xu Boyan: "I’m staying with you."

Lu Qingyi: "???"

What did greeting them have to do with staying with her?

There shouldn’t be a conflict, right?

She couldn’t understand Xu Boyan’s response.

After they finished eating, the two left. Xiaohuang stood at the entrance of the restaurant, her eyes lighting up as she saw Lu Qingyi come out.

"Miss, I shouldn’t have mentioned the undercooked steak. I spoke out of turn, please forgive me. I really know I was wrong."

Xiaohuang blocked Lu Qingyi’s path with a sincere expression.

This job was too important to lose— that was the only thought in her mind.

"Oh."

Lu Qingyi responded indifferently and attempted to bypass Xiaohuang with Xu Boyan’s arm in hers.

"Um... since you’ve accepted my apology, could you do me a small favor and put in a good word for me with Miss Tang?"

Xiaohuang once again blocked Lu Qingyi and spoke her request tentatively, not seeing any fault with it.

"Did I say I accepted your apology?"

Lu Qingyi looked at Xiaohuang coldly, and answered in an equally cold tone.

From start to finish, she had never said she accepted Xiaohuang’s apology.

Some people are like this by nature. They say sorry, but in their hearts, they feel no guilt.

Xiaohuang was speechless - it seemed Lu Qingyi really hadn’t accepted her apology.

"Stop blocking the way. My patience is limited."

Lu Qingyi’s gaze flashed coldly.

Xu Boyan held Lu Qingyi’s hand, his eyes cold as ice. Standing by Lu Qingyi’s side, he remained silent from start to finish.

The quarrel was something the young girl wanted to handle by herself, he was content to watch from the sidelines.

"Miss, I’ve apologized. I know I was wrong. I lost my job, why can’t you show me a little sympathy?"

Xiaohuang continued to block Lu Qingyi’s path, trying to portray herself as the victim as she spoke.

"Does my face scream kindness to you?"

Lu Qingyi laughed at Xiaohuang’s plea, breaking the tension with her words.

Did she really seem like such a kind person? Did Xiaohuang think that just because she apologized, Lu Qingyi would absolutely forgive her and show compassion?

What a joke.

"It’s getting late, and I’m getting married tomorrow. I don’t have time to waste with you."

Lu Qingyi stifled a yawn and answered slowly.

Getting married tomorrow?

Xiaohuang was stunned.

It was common knowledge that tomorrow Xu Boyan of Kyoto and the renowned Lu Qingyi were to be wed.

Many in Kyoto were aware of this news and planned to go watch the spectacle.

So, these two...?

"Xu Boyan, I’m sleepy."

Lu Qingyi looked at Xu Boyan and opened her arms to him.

She really was sleepy. She always got sleepy after a full meal. Lu Qingyi felt she was turning into a pig.

Xiaohuang was still speculating until she heard Lu Qingyi call Xu Boyan’s name. For a moment, she was dumbstruck.

Lu Qingyi and Xu Boyan...

Lu Qingyi, whom she’d offended...

All of a sudden, Xiaohuang felt dizzy. Even without involving Xu Boyan, she couldn’t afford to offend Lu Qingyi alone.

She watched speechlessly as Xu Boyan lifted Lu Qingyi into his arms and carried her away. She didn’t dare to utter another word, fearful that another misstep would make her unwelcome in all of Kyoto.

Xu Boyan was fiercely protective, and Lu Qingyi held grudges.

——

Lu Qingyi lay on the large bed staring at the starlit sky outside the window. Sleep eluded her. With the thought of her wedding to Xu Boyan the next day, she couldn’t close her eyes.

She was unaccustomed to unfamiliar beds. While Lu Mohai had prepared the room in Lu Mansion for her long ago, this was her first time sleeping there. The unfamiliarity of the room and the place made it difficult for her to fall asleep.

"Yiyi, you’re still awake, aren’t you?"

The bedroom door was suddenly knocked, Lu Zhizhou’s gentle voice passing through the crack of the door.

"The door isn’t locked."

Lu Qingyi didn’t move; instead, she merely responded.

Lu Zhizhou entered the room, carrying a large plate of fruit and two cups of juice.

"Can’t you sleep?"

Lu Zhizhou put the items on the bedside table and asked Lu Qingyi.

"Sister, I’m really looking forward to it."

Lu Qingyi rolled over to face Lu Zhizhou, revealing her excitement.

Thinking about her wedding with Xu Boyan, she felt wide awake, sleep was the furthest thing from her mind.

"Silly girl, all girls yearn for their wedding day, they all have dreams about their wedding. So it’s normal that you are feeling this way."

Lu Zhizhou sat down, teased by tapping on Lu Qingyi’s forehead and said in a soft tone.

Inablity to sleep was normal.

She had attended several of her friends’ weddings, and every bride had complained about being unable to sleep the night before the wedding.

"Suddenly, I remembered something.’

Lu Qingyi sat up abruptly, scrutinizing Lu Zhizhou as she spoke.

The thought had just suddenly popped into her head.

Lu Zhizhou: "Huh?"

"Why did Ruan Qingyang choose to leave when she was pregnant? She clearly knew that Lu Mohai loved her. Since she wanted to give birth to the child, why didn’t she tell Lu Mohai about it?"

Lu Qingyi asked this question with a serious expression.

She was struck with the question while listening to Lu Zhizhou talking about the anticipation of a wedding.

It really was a bit strange.

"Could there be something we don’t know about?"

Lu Zhizhou responded to the question, while asserting that she herself knew little about Lu Mohai and Ruan Qingyang’s predicament.

At the time, she herself was young. When she grew up, all she knew was Lu Mohai was in love with someone and chose to remain unmarried.

"Yes, I can look it up.’

Lu Qingyi nodded thoughtfully.

She should have investigated this long ago but overlooked this question, focusing wholeheartedly on Ruan Qingyang’s cause of death.

By choosing to give birth to the child, Ruan Qingyang evidently didn’t want to abort. So why couldn’t she tell Lu Mohai?

And why would she go back to the small place like Jin City to live, hiding her traces?

These were strange occurrences.

"Don’t think about these things now. Tomorrow’s wedding is more important."

Lu Zhizhou playfully tapped Lu Qingyi’s forehead. Her voice and demeanor were both gentle.

Once someone’s been gentle for a long period, it becomes challengingly hard to change this habit.
