Rebirth: Mr. Fu will not cancel the engagement this time

After dinner, the drizzle outside the door gradually stopped, and occasionally tiny drops of water like sand fell. Liu Shuya left the Rose Courtyard contentedly with her lunch box.

Gu Jinhe stood in the corridor and watched Liu Shuya leave, then turned to look at Xu Cheng beside him.

She asked, "Who named the old lady's yard?"

Xu Cheng didn't know why Gu Jinhe suddenly asked this question. He frowned slightly, thought for a while and shook his head, "As far as I can remember, the old lady's courtyard is called Qinglan Courtyard. Maybe my grandfather knows. If the eldest lady is anxious, I will go and ask my grandfather now."

Gu Jinhe raised his hand to stop him and said, "Forget it, I'm just curious for a moment, no need to go find Butler Gu."

Xu Cheng said, "The names of each courtyard in the Gu family were given by the current owner of the courtyard. For example, this Rose Courtyard was the name you gave it when you were a child."

Therefore, if the name of the old lady's courtyard was not given by the previous generation's head of the Gu family, it was given by the old lady after she took over the family.

For some reason, Gu Jinhe unexpectedly cared about the name Qinglan, even though it was Liu Shuya who said it unintentionally. But how could it be such a coincidence that it was these two words.

Is it possible that there really was someone in the Murong family two generations ago with this name?

Qinglan, Murong Qinglan.

Is this a coincidence?

Gu Jinhe thought for a long time but could not make a conclusion. She put the matter aside for the time being and asked, "Where did Wu Lu go?"

I just came back yesterday and I can't see you today.

At this time, Liu Shuya was walking on the cobblestone path after leaving the Rose Courtyard. She was holding the food box in her hand, but the expression on her face was different from the smile in front of Gu Jinhe. Instead, she looked a little tired.

"Why did you come to Gu's house?"

A cold voice suddenly came from the front.

Liu Shuya stopped and looked up at the handsome man standing at the end of the path.

"Wu Lu'an." Liu Shuya called out in a low voice with a slightly restrained expression.

"Don't call me that name!" Wu Lu frowned and said coldly.

Liu Shuya paused, as if she hadn't heard it, and said, "Wu Luan, I saw you at the Liu family's banquet that day, and I didn't have time to talk to you. Why are you following Jin He?"

"I'm her bodyguard now. If I don't stay with her, should I stay with you?" Wu Lu asked expressionlessly.

Liu Shuya said: "That's not what I meant. I just wanted to say that I'm very happy to see you again."

Wu Luan frowned, his voice still cold: "I'm really curious, what's so good about the Liu family? If it were someone else, they would have run away long ago, but you are such a fool and can't let go!"

Even though she was called a fool, Liu Shuya still just looked at Wu Lu with a smile, with a moist light in her eyes, as if it was the warm sunshine rising in the early morning, gentle and bright.

Under such gazes, Wu Lu almost couldn't keep the coldness on his face. He snorted coldly and said, "You are such a thick-skinned person who can do such a thing as eating and taking things when you come to visit me."

Liu Shuya looked down at the food box in her hand and said with a smile, "Jinhe is thoughtful and knows that I like to eat spare ribs, so she specially asked the kitchen to make an extra portion for me."

Wu Lu stepped forward and said, "Really? Since you gave me extra, let me try it."

If someone else said this, Liu Shuya would definitely be angry, but the person standing in front of her now was Wu Lu. Looking at the handsome man getting closer and closer to her, she lowered her head slightly and remained silent.

Seeing that she remained silent, Wu Luquan took it as her consent. He reached out and took the food box from her hand, opened the lid, and immediately a fragrant aroma wafted out.

Looking at the still steaming ribs, Wu Lu unceremoniously pinched a piece and threw it into his mouth: "It tastes good!"

He dropped the bone onto the lid of the food box.

“Dong...Dong...Dong”

Liu Shuya looked up at the bones gradually piling up on the lid of the food box, then looked down at the dwindling number of ribs on the plate and pursed her lips slightly.

Wu Lu glanced at her and said vaguely, "You won't be reluctant to part with it, right?"

Liu Shuya shook her head but still said nothing.

Wu Lu spat out the last piece of bone, looked at the remaining half of the ribs, and said, "I'm sorry, I ate too much by mistake. Who told me that I haven't had breakfast yet?"

Hearing him say that he hadn't had breakfast yet, Liu Shuya looked up at him in surprise: "It's lunch time now, why haven't you had breakfast yet? Did Jinhe ask you to go out to do something?"

Wu Lu shook his head to indicate that it was not Gu Jinhe who asked him to go out to do anything, but he did not explain what he was doing outside.

Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Liu Shuya felt a little disappointed, but did not show it.

She smiled and said, "There are still some ribs, you can continue eating."

At this moment, Wu Lu's expression was no longer as cold as it was at the beginning. He said in a gentle voice, "You don't feel sorry now?"

Liu Shuya just smiled and didn't say anything else.

Seeing this, Wu Lu returned the lunch box to Liu Shuya, and took the lid and said, "I'll give it back to you, so you don't cry under the quilt at night."

You are not a child anymore, why are you still hiding in the quilt and crying?

Liu Shuya's heart suddenly felt a little bitter. She held the food box and whispered, "What are you going to do in the future?"

"I don't have any plans. I'll just live one day at a time. After all, human life is limited. One day less means one less. I still have to focus on the present. There is nothing more important than my own life."

Hearing this, Liu Shuya's face showed a hint of contemplation. Wu Lu looked at her, then walked in the direction Liu Shuya came from.

Liu Shuya looked down at the food box without a lid and burst out laughing.

He is still the same as before, not at all particular.

······

Gu Jinhe didn't get any information about Wu Lu's whereabouts from Xu Cheng's side. The next moment, he saw Wu Lu walking towards the Rose Courtyard with something in his hand.

When Wu Lu came closer, Gu Jinhe found that the thing in his hand looked familiar. When she saw the bones piled on it, she understood.

This is when he met Liu Shuya and ate her ribs.

Gu Jinhe didn't ask where he had been, nor did he ask about the origin of the bone. He just said, "I left some food for you. Do you want to eat it?"

Wu Lu raised his eyebrows: "I haven't eaten for a long time, of course I have to eat!"

Gu Jinhe tilted his head to look at Xu Cheng, who glanced at Wu Lu and said, "The food is in the side hall."

Upon hearing this, Wu Lu turned around and left without saying a word.

Looking at Wu Lu's back, Xu Cheng frowned slightly, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Gu Jinhe looked up at the red lanterns above her head and the strings hanging from them. She was lost in thought for a moment. After a while, she said, "The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Normally, this time of year is when families gather together to visit relatives and pay New Year's greetings."

Gu Jinhe turned to look at Xu Cheng: "How did you celebrate the New Year in previous years?"

Xu Cheng thought about it for a moment and realized that it was actually the same every year.

I followed my grandfather to prepare decorations for the Gu residence, including couplets in each courtyard, lanterns on the walls, and colorful lights on the trees.

Clean every corner of the yard, and then distribute new clothes and red envelopes to your subordinates.

We also need to invite tailors to come to each courtyard to cut clothes for the people.

It's the same every year, just the same routine, nothing special.
