Chapter 351: 351Lu Mohai_1

It was two hours later when Lu Qingyi stepped out of Wen Wanyu’s room.

Xu Boyan and Boss Gu were playing chess, chatting intermittently, and two empty teacups sat on the table.

"What took you so long?"

Lu Qingyi had barely opened the door when Xu Boyan looked over. His lips were curled in a gentle smile.

"We were just talking."

Lu Qingyi closed the door and walked towards Xu Boyan.

"You two make yourselves at home, I’m going to check on her."

Boss Gu stood up quickly, his face full of smiles. After saying that, he strode off toward the small courtyard.

The "her" Boss Gu referred to, was self-explanatory.

"Boss Gu, we’re off."

As Boss Gu reached the gate, Lu Qingyi halted him.

"Take care, come again."

Boss Gu nodded at Lu Qingyi.

He did not feel as warmly toward Lu Qingyi as Wen Wanyu because he had little contact with Ruan Qingyang and was not related to her. He naturally did not share the emotional attachment that Wen Wanyu had for her.

"What did you two discuss?"

Xu Boyan stood up, reached out to adjust a bit of stray fringe on Lu Qingyi’s forehead. His voice was unusually tender.

Hmm, over two hours, quite a bit of time.

But Xu Boyan didn’t mind the long wait, he was willing to wait however long for Lu Qingyi.

"Xu Boyan, do you know Lu Mohai?"

Instead of answering Xu Boyan, Lu Qingyi posed another question.

She had only heard of Lu Mohai but had never met him. Lu Mohai rarely left home, almost never set foot outside his door.

With his capabilities and the significant wealth of the Lu family, he could manage the family from the comfort of his home with ease.

"Why bring him up?"

Xu Boyan’s finger stilled slightly. He was somewhat surprised as he looked at Lu Qingyi.

Lu Mohai was his father’s brother. They grew up together, as close as two peas in a pod.

Xu Boyan frequently visited the Lu Family’s home when he was a child. Lu Mohai was a warm and engaging man, extraordinarily good-tempered, and was always very kind to him.

However, for some reason, about eighteen years ago, Lu Mohai started to withdraw from public life. His relationship with Xu Boyan’s father was still solid, but it was mostly his father who went to the Lu’s, whereas Lu Mohai hardly ever came out of his home, let alone visited the Xu’s.

Xu Boyan used to wonder about Lu Mohai’s peculiar change. He liked his uncle, who was even younger than his own father by two years.

Lu Qingyi: "He might know about my mother."

Even though it was just a guess, Lu Qingyi couldn’t wait to find out the truth, even if it might end up disappointing.

"I want to meet him."

She added at the end.

"He doesn’t meet with strangers."

Xu Boyan’s large hand rested on top of Lu Qingyi’s head, his tone gradual and quiet.

That’s right, Lu Mohai doesn’t meet with strangers. He hasn’t since eighteen years ago, but he still keeps an eye on the outside world.

There were some matters concerning the Lu family that Xu Boyan had to run errands to help sort out, making the current Lu Mohai quite odd.

"I see."

Lu Qingyi nodded.

Doesn’t meet strangers?

She had hundreds of ways to meet Lu Mohai, she just wanted to take the most straightforward and polite approach.

"I’ll ask around for you tomorrow, okay?"

Xu Boyan reached out and gently squeezed Lu Qingyi’s face. There was no sadness on Lu Qingyi’s face, meaning she definitely had a plan in mind.

Star Shadow, the boss, wasn’t simple-minded; wanting to meet a person was an extremely simple matter.

Lu Qingyi obediently nodded, "Okay."

Hand in hand, the two of them left Happy Hot Pot. Lu Qingyi was still in a good mood, since there was a possible lead.

Falling leaves return to their roots. Even the leaves had a place they called home, surely there had to be something about her origins.

Lu Qingyi was very keen on finding out exactly where she came from.

——

Sitting in the car, Lu Qingyi watched as Xu Boyan walked into Lu Mansion. She squinted slightly, her lips curling into a smile.

Wait in the car?

Was that possible?

Of course, it wasn’t.

Lu Qingyi quickly unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the car door, and got out. Instead of the main entrance, she skirted around to the back courtyard.

Anywhere she wanted to go, she could get in.

There were no guards in the backyard. She easily hopped over the fence. The yard was full of fruit trees, especially grapevines.

The backyard of the Lu’s was beautiful, and to her surprise, she found the style quite appealing. Carefully observing her surroundings, Lu Qingyi noticed a middle-aged man with a basket picking grapes. Lu Qingyi swiftly hid herself.

The man, about fifty years old, had a comforting presence, giving off an aura of refined gentleness. Despite his age, he appeared quite youthful.

He carried a basket, picking grapes. Instead of picking bunches at a time, he selected individual grapes, a peculiar method indeed.

It was quite strange.

Lu Qingyi gently furrowed her brow.

"Uncle Lu."

After about two minutes, Xu Boyan walked in. He addressed the grape-picking man with a polite greeting, his attitude respectful.

This must be Lu Mohai, Lu Qingyi thought. It was the first time she had seen Xu Boyan treat someone so respectfully. Xu Boyan had never even been this respectful to his own father.

"Boyan, it’s been a long time. You’ve grown more handsome."

Lu Mohai turned his head. His lips curled up in a warm smile as he placed the basket of picked grapes to the side.

It had been over two years since he last saw Xu Boyan. He didn’t leave home and Xu Boyan was busy every day, so they hardly ever saw each other.

"Uncle Lu, your vitality seems as strong as ever."

Xu Boyan also had a faint smile on his lips. His attitude, pleasant.

Lu Mohai still seemed the same, full of life. But Xu Boyan had a feeling that there was something more in Lu Mohai’s eyes.

"You’ve had a successful career. Now it’s time to consider getting married."

Lu Mohai walked towards Xu Boyan, lightly patting his shoulder.

Xu Boyan was taller than him, so Lu Mohai had to lift his arm high to pat him on his shoulder.

"I’m considering it."

Xu Boyan pulled up the corners of his mouth slightly, his tone rather gentle.

His eyes filled with affectionate warmth whenever he thought about Lu Qingyi.

"You found someone?"

Lu Mohai seemed a bit taken aback, looking at Xu Boyan in disbelief.

He had watched Xu Boyan grow up, knew what kind of person Xu Boyan was. To think that Xu Boyan, who always kept women at arm’s length, was considering such matters so soon.

"Hmm, once she reaches the legal age, we’ll go get our marriage certificate."

Xu Boyan gently nodded, his attitude extremely serious. He was serious about the girl he liked.

He couldn’t wait to have Lu Qingyi registered under his family name.

Lu Mohai’s eyes widened as he looked at Xu Boyan, barely believing that Xu Boyan would say such a thing.
