Let's walk together for the rest of our lives. If the host says to leave, she will leave.

Lu Wenzhou was wearing a formal suit and looked like he was attending a company dinner rather than a family gathering.

The straight suit outlines his tall and straight figure. His expression is relatively relaxed. The slightly cold and sharp temperament that he had when he came to the Lu family before has become softer. He is still distant, but less aggressive.

He held the watering can in one hand to water the plants, feeling inexplicably relaxed and comfortable in this hot afternoon.

Lu Tian: "Brother, I feel like you've become a little different."

Probably because there was someone he loved who was about to form a small family with him.

Lu Wenzhou's wandering heart found a harbor. He still couldn't let go of his past, but he found a path to the future.

Lu Wenzhou asked him, "What's the difference?"

“More friendly.”

Lu Wenzhou put down the watering can and reached out to fiddle with the petals covered with water droplets: "People will change." So all kinds of things are needed to tie two people together.

For example, it is better to add some practical benefits to feelings.

He glanced sideways at Lu Tian and said, "Except Xiao Tian."

Lu Tian grew up in the Lu family. Under the constraints of his parents and the watchful eyes of countless people from the outside world, he has always been the standard image of a gentle and noble nobleman.

Always.

Lu Tian is like a piece of precious warm jade, which can easily make people feel ashamed of themselves.

The two looked at each other and laughed out loud. Because of their well-known and somewhat awkward relationship, they rarely got along so well.

"Do you have someone you like?"

The relationship between the two is not good enough to discuss such topics, and Lu Tian is not a person who lacks tact.

In the past, Lu Wenzhou would come to the Lu family around five in the afternoon and leave after dinner at half past six. He came so early today because Lu Yan specifically reminded him to do so.

Lu Wenzhou thought of something, and the relaxed feeling on his body suddenly disappeared. There was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, but he still had a polite smile on his face: "What if there is?"

Lu Tian smiled flawlessly: "Very good."

The butler came forward and greeted Lu Tian, ​​then said to Lu Wenzhou, "Master, the master wants you to come in."

Lu Wenzhou nodded, and before leaving, he said to Lu Tian: "It's hot outside, don't stay too long, I'm leaving first."

Before, he wouldn't have paid special attention to Lu Tian.

Lu Wenzhou received Lu Tian's reminder, and he was willing to accept the favor.

He wanted to see, Lu Yan, what his father was going to do with his marriage.

Lu Tian watched him leave and remained in the yard.

There happened to be a flower with withered petals in the garden. The gardener of the Lu family was holding a pair of scissors and was about to cut off this beautiful flower. Lu Tian stepped forward and said, "Wait, keep it."

The gardener was a little hesitant, and Lu Tian smiled and said, "If anyone asks you, just say it was my idea. I won't deduct your salary."

Perhaps because Lu Tian was easy to talk to, the gardener asked, "The flowers are all withered, why did you keep them, young master?"

He did not look at the delicate flowers in the yard, but only caressed the withered flower lovingly, with a perfect smile on his face: "Flowers bloom and wither in due course, it is so boring to have them stay the same forever."

It would be nice if he could wither too.

However, withered flowers will be abandoned by the gardener.

……

As soon as Lu Wenzhou entered the door, he heard laughter coming from inside. A graceful woman was sitting on a sofa on one side, and next to her was a girl in her twenties. The two had similar features, so they should be mother and daughter.

Xu Han smiled gently and said, "Wenzhou, come here quickly. I'll introduce you. This is your father's friend's wife, her last name is Li, and this is her daughter Wenjing, a doctoral student at Huaqing who just graduated this year."

Lu Wenzhou greeted politely: "Aunt, Miss Wen, hello."

Aunt Li was also full of smiles: "This is Wenzhou, he is indeed a handsome man. Jingjing, say hello!"

Wen Jing was dressed neatly and had a strong scholarly air. She extended her hand gracefully: "Hello, I'm Wen Jing."

Lu Wenzhou's hand only touched her fingertips for a second before he withdrew his hand: "Lu Wenzhou, nice to meet you."

A man with outstanding appearance and a great sense of propriety, Wen Jing thought.

Neither of them spoke. After they greeted each other, they fell silent. Xu Han tried to smooth things over: "Young people should be embarrassed in front of us. Wenzhou, how about you take Jingjing outside to appreciate the flowers?"

"Xiaotian and I just stood outside for a while. It was quite hot. It would be bad if Miss Wen got heat stroke."

It's so hot, why is Xiaotian still in the garden? Xu Han's folded hands tightened, and just as he was about to speak, a voice came from the side: "Then let's go to the greenhouse, the environment is good and cool."

Lu Yan came down from upstairs and made the final decision.

The purpose of inviting outsiders to visit during family gatherings is self-evident.

Lu Wenzhou did not refute and took Wen Jing to the greenhouse.

The flowers and plants in the greenhouse were more precious and beautiful than those in the garden. The servant brought afternoon tea and left.

Wen Jing really liked these flowers and plants, and she had a good impression of Lu Wenzhou, so she took the initiative to talk to him: "There are so many orchids here. It must have taken a lot of effort to grow them so well."

Lu Wenzhou stood aside, glanced at the flowers casually, and said indifferently: "Maybe, I am a vulgar person and don't understand these elegant things."

If you don't understand, don't you ask? Wouldn't it open up the topic if we ask and answer?

Wen Jing smiled: "It's okay, I can explain it to you..."

Lu Wenzhou interrupted her excited words rudely: "Miss Wen, orchids are beyond my reach, so don't waste your breath on them."

Having said that, even the fool knew what he meant, and Wen Jing also turned cold: "Do you dislike my age?"

Wen Jing is studying for a master's and doctoral degree. She is exactly 27 years old this year, one year older than him.

Lu Wenzhou didn't know what this had to do with age. He felt a little puzzled: "No, it's not that. Miss Wen is very capable. It's just that I can't reach her level."

Wen Jing frowned, thinking of the Lu family's affairs, and said, "You don't have to belittle yourself. After all, you are still the eldest son of the Lu family."

Hearing this, Lu Wenzhou didn't even bother to pretend to be polite. He walked to his seat, sat down, crossed his legs, and looked quite cynical.

"The serious young master of the Lu family is watering the flowers and plants in the garden right now. This is very similar to Miss Wen." He leaned back in his chair, "As for me, I'm just a little gangster."

His indecent actions and vulgar performance made Wen Jing's impression of him plummet, which was exactly what Lu Wenzhou wanted.

If she knew that Lu Wenzhou could swear and that this was a sign of his restraint, she would probably just leave.

"Does Uncle Lu know that you are like this in private?"

He was eating a piece of cake and talking vaguely: "Maybe you know? Why don't you go ask?"

Wen Jing sneered: "All looks good on the outside, but rotten on the inside. No wonder no one likes someone like you."

Otherwise, with this appearance and the title of the eldest son of the Lu family, he wouldn't have to go on a blind date.

Yes, a blind date. Wen Jing came here today because both families had a tacit agreement to bring the two together.

Lu Wenzhou fought back mercilessly: "You are one year older than me, but no one wants you, right?"

“I was busy with schoolwork!”

"Oh, whatever." Lu Wenzhou wiped his hands with a tissue and started drinking again. "Besides, who said no one likes me? When you see me next time, maybe I'll be no longer single."

Ding Dong!

Gu Ling: See you tonight at 8 o'clock, at the beach.

Lu Wenzhou looked very pleased with himself, and waved his phone in front of Wen Jing: "Did you see it?"

Wen Jing: Single dogs kick over this bowl of dog food!

"You wait!" Wen Jing left after saying these harsh words.
