Chapter 579: Chapter 578 Everywhere Are Traps Chapter 579: Chapter 578 Everywhere Are Traps Xiao Qimo felt that this was indeed the correct way to meet the parents, and thus he became more at ease.

What was bound to happen would always come; if Fu Yu remained overly polite, he would actually be more worried.

He considered himself quite familiar with Lu Mian, aside from the secrets she hadn’t shared.

Despite feeling nervous, he was confident that he could certainly win over this little uncle’s approval.

The refined man gracefully rinsed the greens in the hot pot, speaking gently, “Mr.

Fu, Lu Mian can’t drink alcohol.”

Fu Yu uttered an “Oh,” not too surprised, but quickly introduced another topic.

“Mr.

Xiao, I wonder if you could grant me a request.”

Not just oneaEUR” even if it were ten, he would have to agree.

Xiao Qimo nodded, “Please say it.”

Fu Yu’s demeanor became somber, and Xiao Qimo could see deep concern and worry in his expression.

He knitted his brows, then he heard Fu Yu speak slowly and gravely.

“Jinjing is a complex place, Mianmian is reserved by nature and not good at socializing.

If she were to stay in Jinjing with you in the future, could you ensure her safety?”

Xiao Qimo knew what Fu Yu was worried about; it went without question.

His voice was firm, and he put forth his most sincere and best attitude.

“Mr.

Fu, ensuring her safety is something I ought to do, you can rest assured.”

Fu Yu’s brow furrowed slightly.

The elegant man paused tooaEUR”what, wasn’t the answer satisfactory?

He thought it was pretty goodaEUR| right.

It was all true, definitely not just talk.

After a few seconds of silence, Fu Yu sighed, “Can’t you accompany her and stay in Wucheng?”

Xiao Qimo: “…”

So this was the real trap!

Of course he could; it was completely okay.

He just hadn’t expected that this little uncle, who appeared so gentle and jade-like, always liked to set traps.

Temporarily at a loss for words, before he had a chance to contest anything, Fu Yu’s next daunting question arrived.

“There are benefits to being in Jinjing, I understand that.

I’ve heard you’re the Xiao Family’s only heiraEUR”is it just you in your family?”

“…” Xiao Qimo carefully mulled over the question before replying with caution, “Yes, my parents only have me as their child.

I do have an uncle, but they have been separated from the Xiao Family for several years now.”

“That means the interpersonal relationships within your family are rather simple, quite suitable for Mianmian’s personality.”

Xiao Qimo didn’t dare to confirm, fearing a trap.

He has dealt with so many trillion-level international business transactions, pursued so many fierce and brutal suspects, always standing aloof at the top of the pyramid in every domain.

He has never feared anyone or anything, yet when facing Lu Mian’s relatives, he has become as if walking on thin ice, extremely cautious.

This little uncle is one of the few relatives who Lu Mian was close to and cared about, indicating his significant status.

Lu Mian’s cousin, Lu Xi, once charged her with just a few words, and that girl thoroughly implemented them, showing how much Lu Mian valued those of her relatives she trusted.

He silently awaited Fu Yu’s next words.

Sure enough, Fu Yu continued, “What are your plans for the future?

The Xiao Family is lacking in offspring; surely the elders in your family would want you two to have several children, right?”

Children?

Xiao Qimo thought of something, his chopsticks stirring slightly in the bowl and plate, a smile crept onto his lips.

It was only a momentary distraction, before he seriously addressed the question.

He knew this one!

“Lu Mian grew up in an environment where her parents were partial and unfair, and she greatly detests imbalance in affection.

Therefore, the matter of adding members to broaden the family won’t happen to us; one child is enough for us.”

“Oh,” Fu Yu’s expression was still warm and gentle.

Xiao Qimo felt that this time, there shouldn’t be any problem, but Fu Yu’s expression still didn’t seem to have softened much.

He was puzzled.

Fu Yu put down his chopsticks and groped for a napkin, wiping the corners of his mouth slowly.

“For something like this, shouldn’t you discuss it with Mianmian first?

.co

What if she doesn’t want to have kids?”

Xiao Qimo: aEUR| Wait, Uncle, listen to my explanation!

A slight smile appeared on Fu Yu’s face, “That’s also true.

For big families like yours, having children is definitely a must.

After all, your family has a throne that needs to be succeeded.”

“Mr.

Fu, with matters concerning children, I will certainly respect Mianmian’s wishes.” Xiao Qimo never felt so at a loss for words, he continued to explain patiently: “As for the wealth accumulated by the family, I am willing to present the Xiao Family as a bridal gift, just to spend a lifetime with her.”

He wished Lu Mian would take a liking to his family wealth; that way, he wouldn’t have to work so hard chasing after her.

Fu Yu was somewhat surprised and fell silent, not speaking.

Xiao Qimo knew very well that in just a few questions, Fu Yu had probed him comprehensively from 360 degrees, touching on aspects like emotions, procreation, finances, and interactions.

His eyelashes lowered, he finally said solemnly, “Mr.

Fu, we have a long way to go, and you can supervise me at any time.”

“Me?” Fu Yu sounded somewhat saddened, forcing a smile but remaining silent.

He feared he wouldn’t have that many chances.

As they were speaking, Fu Yu’s phone began to ring.

The screen-reading feature of the phone for the blind announced the caller ID in an emotionless synthesized female voice.

[Du Changyi: 131xx…]

When Fu Yu heard the number, he was initially startled, then he slowly fumbled for his phone and pressed the hang-up button.

“I’ll go and check on Lu Mian.” Xiao Qimo thought Fu Yu found it inconvenient to answer, so he took the initiative to leave.

Fu Yu waved his hand, “No need.”

Lu Mian pushed the door open and entered, carrying a small bowl in her hand just as they were talking.

Hearing this, Fu Yu was even quicker to stuff the phone into his pocket.

“Uncle, here’s your seafood juice.”

“Good.”

Lu Mian sat back down, not asking what they had just talked about, merely smiling, “Why hasn’t anyone eaten?

The meat won’t taste good if it’s overcooked.”

She patiently served Fu Yu some meat and vegetables.

Then she saw the somewhat woebegone Director Qimo across from her, quietly stretching out her hand, signaling Xiao Qimo to bring over his small bowl.

She filled a small bowl for Xiao Qimo again.

The refined man was satisfied and reached across the table to take Lu Mian’s bowl, scooping out some shrimp paste and vegetables for her.

Lu Mian laughed softly, “Thank you, Director Qimo, for serving me the food, you should eat more yourself.”

She was intentionally brushing up Qimo’s image in front of Fu Yu.

While Fu Yu might not be able to see with his eyes, his ears were rather sharp; he understood all of their subtle moves and their rustling.

This girl, she had truly fallen for him.

Fu Yu was actually quite happy for Lu Mian, finally there was someone who could enter her heart.

He said jokingly, “You two don’t have to sneak around, do you really think I’m blind?”

Lu Mian: aEUR| Aren’t you actually blind?

But she definitely wouldn’t say that out loud; she knew all too well of Fu Yu’s yearning for light.

She also deliberately sought treatment options for him, but renowned ophthalmologists had said his eye functions had been lost for too long, beyond recovery.

She had not told her Uncle yet.

Unaware of what was on her mind, Fu Yu suddenly asked, “By the way, your great uncle and family haven’t bothered you again, have they?”
