Unveil Her Secret Identities-Chapter 630 - 608 Wen Linyu Visits_1
Chapter 630: 608 Wen Linyu Visits_1
The next morning, an uninvited guest arrived at the villa. Early in the morning, Lu Qingyi opened the door to find Wen Linyu standing there, looking as if he had been waiting for a while.
"What’s up?"
There was a coldness in Lu Qingyi’s voice, her gaze towards Wen Linyu was unwelcoming.
"May I come in?"
Wen Linyu’s eyes lit up for a moment when he saw Lu Qingyi, but soon dimmed down.
"Come in."
Before Lu Qingyi could reply, Xu Boyan, who had appeared at her side without her realizing, coldly spoke.
Lu Qingyi turned to look at Xu Boyan, surprise flashing in her eyes.
Wen Linyu sat on the couch, surveying his surroundings before his gaze finally settled on Lu Qingyi.
"How many months along are you?"
Wen Linyu asked.
"Eight."
Lu Qingyi answered, her expression nonchalant.
"Tea, please."
Xu Boyan poured Wen Linyu a cup of tea. Now that Lu Qingyi was his wife, he didn’t find Wen Linyu as offensive as before.
If their child was liked, it only proved the child’s excellence and charm, something he should feel elated about.
"I came today to ask for your help."
After expressing gratitude to Xu Boyan, Wen Linyu turned to Lu Qingyi.
Xu Boyan was very good to Lu Qingyi, and their child was about to be born; he couldn’t compete in the past, and he certainly couldn’t compete now.
All Wen Linyu wanted was for Lu Qingyi to be happy in the future.
Lu Qingyi raised her eyes to look at Wen Linyu but remained silent.
"I’d like to leave Kyoto."
"But the Wen Family needs someone to look after it."
"You know my aunt well, and I hope you can help me persuade her."
Wen Linyu said seriously. The Wen Family’s businesses, which were passed down through generations, and their future developments were all in Kyoto. Therefore, he didn’t want to relocate everything if he left Kyoto.
As the sole heir and only male member of the Wen Family, aside from him and Wen Wanyu, there really was no one else.
"I can’t force your aunt."
Lu Qingyi said, her eyes lowering as she spoke slowly.
She realized that what Wen Linyu had mentioned over the phone the night before was true, but persuading Wen Wanyu was something she couldn’t do.
She had known Wen Wanyu for a long time and knew she preferred her current simple life. There was no chance she would agree to take over the Wen Family’s affairs.
"We could leave it to Gu Yansi, as long as he doesn’t change his surname."
Wen Linyu said. The company’s surname couldn’t be changed because it was a legacy of the Wen Family, passed down through generations.
"He has to want it too."
Lu Qingyi chuckled in response. Not everyone thinks that having an inheritance to claim is a good thing, nor does everyone see status and power as important.
Wen Linyu was ready to give away the family fortune, and while there were many people who would want it, not everyone he wanted to give it to would necessarily accept it.
Gu Yansi had a strong interest in medicine, and Wen Wanyu was very content with her current life. Both had little interest in the Wen Family heritage.
"The Wen Family has vast assets. Even if my aunt doesn’t need them, she will consider her son."
Wen Linyu was quiet for a moment before he finally spoke.
"Simplicity is true happiness."
Lu Qingyi replied.
"I can give all of the Wen Family property to you, as long as you keep your original surname."
Wen Linyu took a deep breath and looked at Lu Qingyi as he spoke, his tone serious. He had said before, that the whole Wen family was worth far less than a single Lu Qingyi.
So, he could give up the Wen Family property to Lu Qingyi.
"Do you think I need it?"
Lu Qingyi counter-questioned, a hint of a smile in her eyes.
Wen Linyu was taken aback.
Right, Lu Qingyi’s husband was Xu Boyan.
He had known Lu Qingyi for a long time and understood her well. He knew she was indifferent by nature and would have absolutely no interest in such things.
She never lacked money. Whenever she needed it, she could easily earn it with a flick or her finger.
"Consider it a gift for the child in your womb."
Wen Linyu’s gaze dropped to Lu Qingyi’s bulging belly as he slowly said. The Wen Family needed someone to take care of it, and he understood the importance of finding a trustworthy person to do so.
"My child doesn’t need it."
Xu Boyan looked at Wen Linyu and declared each word distinctly. His child couldn’t accept anything from his rival. His child had everything and did not lack an inherited fortune from the Wen Family.
"I can mention it to your aunt, but whether she agrees or not is up to her."
After a moment of silence, Lu Qingyi slowly spoke. She was willing to help by asking, but persuading was impossible.
Wen Linyu thanked her: "Thank you."
With that, Wen Linyu took his leave. He knew Xu Boyan and Lu Qingyi would not welcome him, and he was self-aware enough to admit it.
Watching the villa’s door close, Wen Linyu stood on the steps for a long time before sighing deeply as he gazed at the villa.
Lu Qingyi was his deepest obsession in this life and also a regret he would never obtain.
If there was another life, he hoped he was no longer the first one to meet Lu Qingyi, but rather the one who could touch her heart.
Love never distinguishes between who comes first and who comes later, only who loves and who doesn’t.
He had once naively believed that because he met Lu Qingyi so early, she would eventually fall in love with him one day.
But now he realized it was just his wishful thinking. He was indeed ridiculous.
After a few steps back, Wen Linyu turned and left. This might truly be the last time he would ever see Lu Qingyi. There might not be another chance in the future.
Goodbye.
——
That same afternoon, after Wen Linyu left, Wen Wanyu arrived, bringing a thermal container with her.
"Old Gu told me Xu Boyan ordered take-out hotpot for you. If you want to eat, just tell me, I can bring it over," Wen Wanyu said as she put down the thermal container and started chattering.
All it took was one call or text from Lu Qingyi and she could have it delivered immediately.
"I ordered it on the way back from my sister’s wedding."
Lu Qingyi chuckled. If she had said she didn’t want to bother Wen Wanyu, Wen Wanyu would certainly insist.
"Are you experiencing any discomfort?"
Wen Wanyu noted Lu Qingyi’s belly. She had been pregnant herself once, but miscarried early. Her knowledge of pregnancy was vague.
"The baby is well-behaved."
Lu Qingyi shook her head.
Her baby occasionally kicked in her belly but caused no major discomfort, a model of good behaviour.
"Do you know the baby’s gender yet?"
Wen Wanyu asked out of curiosity. By this stage in pregnancy, the baby’s gender should be identifiable.
Even though doctors wouldn’t disclose the baby’s gender during check-ups, it would be straightforward for Lu Qingyi and Xu Boyan to discover.
"We could know, but I want to wait until the baby is born."
Lu Qingyi gently shook her head.
What she meant was, she could find out the baby’s gender now, but she chose to wait until birth.
