After a kiss.each other's breaths getting ragged...Lu Shuo opened the car door and quietly looked at his father.

Lu Qian stood under the wisteria, still as tall and slender as he was in his youth, only his hair was slightly whiter in the moonlight.

He held a lit cigarette between his fingers, but didn't smoke it.

A half-smoked cigarette butt fell, proving he had been standing for a long time.

Lu You followed them out of the car, looking at the two of them blankly. Suddenly, she understood.

My father knows about my brother and Aunt Lu Xun's relationship.

Lu You instinctively changed her voice: "Daddy."

Lu Qian looked at his youngest daughter and said in a soft voice, "It's cold outside, come inside quickly."

Lu You refused. She stepped forward and carefully hugged Lu Qian's arm: "Daddy go in too."

Lu Qian usually doted on her the most, until now his study still had that little red house, Lu You grew up and occasionally crawled into it, but now he patted his little daughter's hand: "Go in!"

Lu You dared not make light of it.

She let go of his hand and looked at Lu Suo again.

Under the same moonlight, her brother was as handsome as her father, with the same resolute expression in his eyes.

Lu You was startled.

Once she left, Lu Qian flicked his cigarette ash and asked nonchalantly, "Did you see him What did he say"

Lu Shu walked slowly closer.

He smiled faintly: "Dad, don't you already know"

Lu Qian sneered: "You've made up your mind to be with her Have you even asked her if she wants to Don't get carried away and end up with nothing."

Lu Shuo pursed his lips and said nothing.

Lu Qian continued to sneer: "Hehe! Are you jealous because you know that other people's muscles are better looking than yours How pathetic!"

Lu Suo is very good at reading people.

Though he was still angry, his attitude had lost some of its former firmness.

He relaxed a little, patted his trouser leg and said: "Men don't rely on their looks for a living! Besides, there's that saying, 'Big breasts, small brains!' "

Lu Qian glared at him: "Maybe Lu Xun just likes this one."

As he spoke, he stubbed out his cigarette.

After a moment of silence, he continued, "You're not a young man anymore! You have to take responsibility for what you've done. Don't wait until things get so out of hand that your mother can't handle it, your wife can't handle it, and then I, an old man, have to clean up your mess."

After Lu Qian finished speaking, he also felt a little sad inside.

He thought his compromise wasn't entirely for Lu Shuo.

And there's that child!

The last time he saw her, he knew deep down she was wronged. He knew his son had caused her pain, but when the girl said she had a boyfriend, he chose to deceive himself and believe it.

Lu Shu had been with her for over a year, living together for three months.

How can there be no feelings between people who share a bed

Lu Qian didn't look at his son, nor did he want to hear what he had to say. He felt a mix of disappointment and an indescribable sense of relief in his heart... Behind him, Lu Shuo softly called out, "Dad!"

Lu Qian remained silent.

He just waved his hand and continued walking, but he looked like he had aged several years.

At that moment, he thought back to his youth.

He remembered his relationship with Mingzhu when they were young, it was also a forbidden love with a thrill. Mingzhu was about the same age as Xiaoxun back then, and they were together in secret like that.

Lu Qian's figure slowly disappeared.

Lu Shuo blurted out, "Dad, thank you."

Lu Qian returned to the villa. Lu You sat on the sofa and sniffed towards him: "Dad."

Lu Qian walked to his youngest daughter's side and sat down.

Lu You hugged his arm, resting her small head on his shoulder.

She was extremely beautiful, with fair skin and soft, tea-colored hair that curled slightly and fell to her shoulders.

She resembles Wen Man and also his sister Lu Xiaoman.

Lu Qian always felt a special kind of emotion whenever he looked at Lu You.

Lu You still softly pleaded, "Brother..."

Lu Qian stroked her hair and whispered, "Don't tell your mother for now."

Lu You widened her eyes, staring in disbelief at her own father. She couldn't quite believe he agreed... Lu Qian stroked her hair, saying very gently, "There's nothing wrong with liking someone! Dad doesn't want your brother to be sad."

As for the pearl, he thought there must be a way.

They live in the city.

Lu Shuo and the others mostly live in the city, and they don't see each other many times throughout the year. Out of sight is out of mind, after all. When they pass away, how much will those past events matter

Lu Qian is used to indulging children.

Lu You received his father's complete love.

But Lu Shu lacked so much in his childhood, it was as if this was compensation for him.

Lu Qian slowly walked upstairs.

Lu You sniffed quietly, watching him. She knew Dad was very sad tonight.

Lu Shuo walked in.

Lu You was especially sad, she walked over and gently hugged her brother. Lu Shuo patted her little head and said: "Don't cry, I don't have the mood to comfort you."

Lu You pouted and nestled her little head against his chest.

……

Lu Qian went upstairs, Mingzhu was taking a bath and getting pampered.

Seeing him walk in, she stared for a while before saying, "Why does it smell like smoke Where did you sneak off to smoke again ...Hey, Lu Shuo and Lu Xun are back Wasn't it said that they were going to see the lanterns"

Lu Qian sat down at the edge of the bed, without a word.

Míngzhū complained: "What's wrong with you today Are you going through menopause again Or are you just upset that you saw Liú Shūjì celebrate her birthday, and now you want to throw a fuss Maybe we should have a big celebration at home for Lǔ Dàyě in advance of his 80th"

This is what Lu Qian dislikes the most.

But at that moment, he could only offer a bitter smile: "Would I be jealous of him"

Lu Qian was indeed feeling uncomfortable, but when he thought about how Secretary Liu's hard-raised daughter had been taken by his own son, he felt much better thinking about it that way.

"It's okay!"

Lu Qian sighed: "It's just that the children have all grown up."

He leaned down and kissed her nose softly: “But my pearl hasn’t aged yet.”

Mingzhu saw that his expression had truly calmed down, and only then did she feel relieved.

……

In a couple of days, it will be Liu's secretary's birthday.

He worked hard his whole life, saving a lot of money. He lived a luxurious life and celebrated his birthdays in style.

The son and daughter-in-law also rushed back from abroad, busy with everything, Lu Xun also helped out. She gets along well with her sister-in-law at home and is very natural around her.

There's a lot of traffic in front of the villa.

Secretary Liu and her husband welcomed the guests with their children, their faces beaming with smiles, though the weather was chilly.

Secretary Liu loved children and rubbed her hands together as she said to the younger generation, "Come in all of you. Eat your fill and drink your fill, don't stay here with us freezing."

Mrs. Liu was unhappy: "So, I should just stay with you old wretch and suffer the cold Don't you have any compassion for me"

Mrs. Liu couldn't hold back her laughter.

Lu Xun stood aside, smiling faintly. She liked this family very much.

Big sister-in-law Lala pulled her: "Xiaoxun, let's go in and have some food."

Lu Xun hummed.n Man sat in the living room, stroking her slightly protruding belly, listening gently.Hearing this, I was brought to tears!She had a feeling that Huo Shaoting had really left!At this moment, the phon...
