Chapter 417: 417 Lu Qingyi’s boyfriend_1

"I’ve met him?"

Lu Mohai slightly furrowed his brow, casting a somewhat skeptical glance at Lu Qingyi, not quite understanding.

How could he have met Lu Qingyi’s boyfriend?

It seemed highly unlikely to Lu Mohai.

"Yes, you’ve met him."

A gentle smile played on Lu Qingyi’s lips as she looked back at Lu Mohai.

Indeed, Lu Mohai had met him. In fact, he had been watching him grow up. He should trust Xu Boyan explicitly, Lu Qingyi concluded.

"Who is it?"

Curiosity piqued, Lu Mohai pondered who might be it.

Feeling like a man out of time, he wondered how many acquaintances he still had.

An unsettling thought suddenly struck him - could Lu Qingyi’s boyfriend be of a similar age to him?

Why else was she in such a hurry to get married? She hadn’t even turned twenty and was discussing the matter of nuptials. Was it because she couldn’t wait?

Many young people nowadays had a preference of someone older, stating it provided a sense of security. Did Lu Qingyi, with her upbringing, prefer older men too?

A shiver of apprehension ran through Lu Mohai.

"I’ve already messaged him, he should be here soon."

Lu Qingyi said, swinging her phone lightly, a gentle smile on her face.

Lu Mohai was momentarily slack-jawed. In the distant past, he had seen a similar smile on Ruan Qingyang; though rare, he could count them on his fingers.

Looking at Lu Qingyi, he saw a glimpse of Ruan Qingyang. He wanted to preserve the happiness he saw in Lu Qingyi. He was content with her happiness.

Age or social status didn’t matter in respect of Lu Qingyi’s future husband, Lu Mohai concluded. As long as he was kind, affectionate and someone she could rely on, that was enough.

His only wish was for Lu Qingyi’s well-being. As long as she felt happy, nothing else mattered.

"Okay."

Lu Mohai bowed his head to drink the coffee in front of him, the curve of his lips tinged with bitterness.

He had missed out on so many years of his daughter’s life. And now, shortly after learning about her existence, he came to know she was about to get married. He couldn’t quite put a finger on his feelings, but it was certainly a form of distress.

Lu Qingyi busied herself with stirring the coffee in her cup. Beside her, her phone lit up, displaying a gentle countenance as she occasionally typed out a message.

"When did you meet?"

Lu Mohai asked.

"More than half a year ago."

Lu Qingyi answered without hesitation.

Lu Mohai: "..."

More than half a year?

Had they decided to get married just over half a year after meeting? Had they understood each other? Gotten familiar with each other’s family yet?

...

Lu Mohai was full of questions, his gaze at Lu Qingyi filled with disbelief.

Ruan Qingyang, a typically cold person, had yet to meet someone she truly liked. If not for a twist of fate, Lu Qingyi wouldn’t even exist.

Lu Mohai found it hard to fathom that Lu Qingyi had taken the decision to settle down so quickly. It was quite astonishing.

"You..."

Lu Mohai stared at Lu Qingyi, opening his mouth to speak, then shutting it again.

He had so much to say, but then he remembered he hadn’t raised Lu Qingyi. He didn’t have a say over her matters.

He had no right to interfere in Lu Qingyi’s affairs.

"I trust my judgment. He’s a good man, worth everything."

Lu Qingyi could sense what Lu Mohai wanted to say. She gently shook her head, her words soft and her face always maintaining a smile.

Even a frosty person has their tender side, and for Lu Qingyi, Xu Boyan was the one deserving her tenderness.

"Indeed, your standards are high."

Lu Mohai nodded gently, indeed believing that Lu Qingyi would have high standards. After all, both he and Ruan Qingyang had high standards themselves.

"Can you share your story with me?"

Lu Mohai looked at Lu Qingyi, eagerly inquiring.

The circumstances of their meeting were indeed critical.

Lu Qingyi held her lips for a moment before slowly answering, "It’s an accident."

The encounter with Xu Boyan indeed happened by an accident. If it wasn’t for Lin Yuanhang’s excessive meddling, she and Xu Boyan would probably have never crossed paths.

Lu Mohai: "An accident?"

He was quite curious to know what this ’accident’ entailed.

"Well, I suppose he tricked me using the White Rabbit Creamy Candy."

Lu Qingyi began again, recalling those times brought a brim of joy to her lips, a true sense of happiness.

Xu Boyan was very nice to her. He even bought White Rabbit candies from the convenience store specially for her and saved some for her knowing how much she liked them.

Later, Xu Boyan arranged for someone in Kyoto to custom order this candy and shipped it to his place.

Lu Qingyi was deeply moved by Xu Boyan’s gestures. Although she was stoic on the outside, she was very touched inwardly.

Tricked by White Rabbit candies?

Lu Mohai was baffled, and his gaze at Lu Qingyi was fraught with worry.

As the saying goes, "men’s honeyed words are deceiving".

Many men would sweet talk but hardly put their words into actions.

Furthermore, those overly romantic guys might be used to their flamboyant styles and playing with women’s affections rather than truly being sincere. In contrast, the clumsy ones usually turned out to be the genuine ones, as studies have shown.

"He’s nearly here."

Lu Qingyi glanced at her phone, informing Lu Mohai.

A faint smile played upon her lips; she was curious about the expressions on both Lu Mohai and Xu Boyan’s faces when they met.

She found it extremely intriguing.

"Hmm."

Lu Mohai took a deep breath, contemplating what he should say when meeting Lu Qingyi’s boyfriend.

Someone he knew?

His curiosity was further piqued.

"Trust me, he’s a reliable person."

Lu Qingyi looked at Lu Mohai. She wanted to call him "Dad", but the words never left her lips.

She wasn’t quite sure how to address him. It was indeed difficult.

Lu Mohai’s gaze was drawn to the entrance. He waited for that person, and when he finally entered the café, Lu Mohai’s face turned stiff.

His first reaction was of shock, followed by disbelief, then anger.
