After the Divorce, I Could Hear the Voice of the Future
Chapter 418 - 415: Lucky Charm

At dinner time, Lu Ya and Zheng Xiaoxuan came back.

In the living room, Lu Ya was teaching Lu Liang hands-on how to hold the baby, while she instructed, "The child is young, and although her memory is limited, she's very perceptive. Even if you're busy, it's best to spend some time with her, or else she might forget you. As she grows up, she might not be very close to you."

"Am I holding her like this correctly?"

Lu Liang gave a grunt, his arms and legs extremely stiff. The little one had just fallen asleep, so he didn't dare to make a move.

Lu Ya couldn't help but laugh, "Relax a bit, just make sure you're supporting her bottom, waist, and neck."

Zheng Xiaoxuan came into the kitchen to help and suddenly stared straight at Su Wanyu, feeling very strange, "Where did you go this afternoon?"

"We didn't go anywhere, just took a walk nearby and then came back to cook." Su Wanyu was puzzled as to why she would ask this.

Zheng Xiaoxuan touched Su Wanyu's cheek and squinted her eyes, becoming more confused, "How come your skin looks so good all of a sudden?"

Su Wanyu's smile stopped abruptly, replaced by an indescribable blush. She quickly changed the subject, "Hurry and get the bowls and chopsticks, it's time to eat."

"Did he bring you some high-tech skincare product? With a bit of effort, I should be able to save up and afford it."

Zheng Xiaoxuan grew increasingly curious. When Lu Ya heard it was time to eat, she quickly came in to help and caught wind of the topic of conversation.

She suddenly laughed, teasing with a twinkle in her eye, "A timely rain after a long drought, get it, Miss Zheng?"

Lu was quite a fierce character, not to mention a mother of two. Once she opened her mouth, it was like a winning hand in cards. The two of them immediately fell silent, busying themselves with the kitchen and dinnerware.

"Hey, stop holding her. Aren't you going to eat?"

Seeing Lu Liang completely immersed in dad duties, unable to pull himself away, Lu Ya gently reminded him.

"You all eat, I had my meal in the afternoon."

Lu Liang was absent-minded, focusing on playing with the little one, "Doo doo doo~~taking off now~"

Zheng Xiaoxuan subconsciously glanced toward Su Wanyu's chest.

Su Wanyu, blushing deeply, couldn't help but get angry, "He already ate on the plane."

"I didn't say anything."

Zheng Xiaoxuan muttered softly, quickly flattering, "The food on the plane couldn't possibly compare to what you cook with your own hands."

"It's indeed not as good as what she makes." Now able to hold the baby with one hand, Lu Liang picked up his chopsticks and tried a bite.

"That's for sure." Zheng Xiaoxuan said proudly, complimenting Su Wanyu and basking in the glory as though it was her own pride.

"Xiaoxuan, do you want to come back with us for Mid-Autumn Festival?" Su Wanyu had to shift the topic again.

"Go to East Country?" Zheng Xiaoxuan's face showed her struggle. She was of Chinese heritage but had never been there, always wanting to go.

"Didn't you want to go back to your roots, to see the traditional dances and songs? I'll take you there." Su Wanyu invited her eagerly.

"Why join the family reunion? I wouldn't want to intrude." Zheng Xiaoxuan decisively refused, then suddenly asked, "Will you come back here again?"

Su Wanyu nodded, "Probably after the National Day."

She took Zheng Xiaoxuan's arm, "Come on, just join me, I'll show you a good time."

After returning home, Lu Liang would probably be free for the first few days, and Lu Ya had her own family. Su Wanyu would be alone again.

"Alright, I still have some holidays left this semester anyway." Zheng Xiaoxuan sighed, truly unable to turn Su Wanyu down.

The favored ones have nothing to fear; perhaps Su Wanyu herself didn't realize that she was the favored one.

Lu Liang looked puzzled and couldn't help but glance at Lu Ya.

Lu Ya sighed, as if to say, you really can't straighten a dog's tail.

After spending two days in Edinburgh, the day before Mid-Autumn Festival, the group set off for home.

Several people followed Lu Liang through the VIP passage to the airport tarmac.

Looking at the private jet nearly the size of two basketball courts, Zheng Xiaoxuan couldn't help but ask, "Is this yours?"

Lu Liang smiled and neither confirmed nor denied, bending over to tease the little one, "Siqing, we're taking the plane, going home now."

The little one smiled, revealing her tender gums, babbling and waving her arms, seeming to be very excited.

She was less than two months old and, despite still not seeing clearly, she had come to recognize Lu Liang's scent over a few days and no longer cried when held by him.

Lu Liang, carrying the child, stepped onto the boarding stairs. Lin Yan saw this scene and her smile suddenly stiffened, "Welcome back, Mr. Lu."

Not just her, the rest of the crew also felt a storm surge within. Boss Lu had a child? And she's such a big baby?

Lu Liang bowed slightly, standing at the cabin entrance, waiting for the women to board. He introduced, "This is Lin Yan, the head stewardess. If you need anything on the plane, you can ask her."

"Hello."

Lu Ya nodded, her shock no less than Zheng Xiaoxuan's. In the blink of an eye, her younger brother had his private plane.

Lu Liang said with a smile, "Just find a seat to sit, once we take off and reach cruising altitude, you can move around freely."

"Change into slippers and clothes if needed, there's a changing room nearby. Make yourself at home, no need to be so formal."

Su Wanyu sat next to Lu Liang, silent. Lu Liang nudged her shoulder, "Nervous?"

Su Wanyu nodded, showing a pitiful expression, "What if we don't go back to Lu Island first?"

In 12 hours, they would arrive at Lu Island.

She felt a bit nervous, unsure how to face her parents.

Having studied abroad for less than a year, she was now returning with a month-old daughter. The very thought made her scalp tingle.

"Don't worry, I've got everything prepared."

Lu Liang grinned as he held Su Wanyu's hand.

He definitely wouldn't go to his father-in-law's place all by himself; he had long since asked someone to make comprehensive preparations in the country.

Su Wanyu wasn't an only child; she also had a younger brother named Su Yuchen, who, according to the investigation, resulted in a fine of 23,000 for being an extra birth.

He graduated this year and was preparing for the civil service exam. If it didn't bother him, he could apply for a position in Su City or Modu, or it would be fine for him to stay local too, which would just entail making an additional phone call.

Being a younger brother himself, he knew full well the status of a brother in a family, especially in those days.

As long as the male descendants had a good future arranged for them, for the girls, well, it probably all came down to 'let nature take its course' in the end.

As the plane entered the stratosphere, they were free to move about.

Zheng Xiaoxuan sneaked around and couldn't help but exclaim, "Luxurious~"

Lu Ya nodded in strong agreement. This was essentially a mobile airhouse, complete with a lounge, kitchen, and entertainment room.

"Play a few rounds?" Lu Liang laughed.

"Let's play," Lu Ya nodded.

During holidays, their family would also often play mahjong. After all, there wasn't much to watch on TV, talking had generational gaps, and conversation could easily become awkward.

Mahjong was better; it not only passed the time but also facilitated intermittent chit-chat.

Su Wanyu didn't join in and focused on taking care of the child in the lounge. She suddenly saw a familiar lighter on the bedside.

It was shiny from being handled frequently, its appearance indicating frequent use, but it no longer contained any kerosene and was now just a display piece.

A tender smile appeared on Su Wanyu's face as she said softly, "Baby, this is what Mommy gave to Daddy. He quit smoking, but he still keeps it."

The door suddenly opened, and Lu Liang came in. When he saw the lighter in Su Wanyu's hand, he laughed, "I was wondering why I kept losing at cards. It turns out I didn't have my lucky charm with me."

"Why keep it since you've quit smoking?" Su Wanyu was curious.

Lu Liang lay straight on the bed and gently poked the little one's cheek, "Maybe it's just habit."

He took the lighter from Su Wanyu's hand, flipped it open, and the click-click echoed, "When I'm thinking, I tend to fiddle with the switch. It feels like you're with me."

The delight was clear in Su Wanyu's eyes as they crinkled with her smile, "Where are sister and Xiaoxuan?"

"We played for a few hours, got tired, had something to eat, and went back to our seats to sleep."

Lu Liang picked up the child and patted Su Wanyu on the head, "You should sleep too. It's technically early morning now, and when we land, it will be morning."

Su Wanyu suddenly hugged Lu Liang's waist, whining softly, "But I want to sleep with you."

"Will that be a problem after pregnancy?" Lu Liang teased with a naughty smile, faintly remembering that she wasn't this forward before.

"Possibly."

Su Wanyu's cheeks reddened, her demeanor was efflorescent and alluring.

It was said that after having a child, a woman's skin would lose its luster. Perhaps her good care was to thank, for at that moment, her skin appeared almost radiantly tender.

"You take a bath and wait for me. I'll set up the little one first."

Lu Liang, with his heart and mind in disarray, quickly took the little one to find Lin Yan, "Do you have experience taking care of children?"

Lin Yan nodded, "Mr. Lu, we have training for special passengers, and my sister also has a child."

"Great, I'll leave her with you then. Her name is Siqing. If she wakes up crying, just give her to my sister."

Lu Liang left after saying this, hoping to give the little one a younger brother or sister next year.

If there were several children, he would prefer them to be close in age, even if the younger one might get picked on by the older ones, but when they grew up, their relationship would be strong.

Just like him and Lu Ya, only two years apart,

Lu Ya would scold and hit him, but when it mattered, she would always consider him first.

With Lu Liang's entry into the resting area, the cabin quieted down, and several flight attendants snuck over to Lin Yan's side.

"Yan, is this Mr. Lu's child?"

A gaggle of girls' gossiping spirits were itching to burst.

They hadn't heard the news of Lu Liang getting married and yet the child was already so big. And the girlfriend rumored on the internet wasn't Su Wanyu either.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't gossip about what you shouldn't discuss."

Lin Yan whispered a reprimand, and she sent them all back to their positions; after returning home, they must be cautious with their words.

She had just received word from Ye Zhipei that the bonuses for all staff on this flight, as well as their salaries, were to be doubled.

For an ordinary flight attendant, this trip from domestic to back home would yield a bonus of around a hundred thousand.

Her position and that of the captain's being the highest would likely earn them each about one hundred eighty thousand, probably a hush money, without accidents.

The attendants' eyes widened, and they all shut their mouths, returning to their posts obediently.

Whoever you disagree with, don't disagree with money,

Even without the doubling, there would still be a fifty-thousand bonus.

It was three times the salary they'd earn on a regular commercial flight.

"The ears and mouth are like Mr. Lu, the eyes like Mama."

Lin Yan sat at the cockpit door, holding and gently rocking the child with tender affection on her face.

The sleeping face of a child was the most healing presence, preventing her from harboring any impractical fantasies.
