Chapter 421: 421 mother and daughter confronted with chili _1

Lu Qingyi also knew that most of her discomfort was due to unfamiliarity, right? Before she discovered her true identity, her father was like a non-entity, his absence was unnoticeable and she had never experienced a father’s love.

So, the presence of Lu Mohai, her father, was something Lu Qingyi was really unaccustomed to.

"My dear child...."

Lu Mohai looked at Lu Qingyi with a pained heart, not knowing what to say in that moment. He blamed himself.

Even though Lu Qingyi had said she had no relation to him, Lu Mohai couldn’t help but feel guilty.

"It’s okay, the past is in the past. If not for them, I probably wouldn’t have discovered that I can be outstanding too, right?"

Lu Qingyi said with a faint smile. She spoke in a relaxed tone.

Indeed, if not for the treatment by Yao Meishu and Lu Yao, she wouldn’t have become so outstanding.

Lu Jiayue was quite outstanding too, but sometimes, she was spoiled too much and didn’t really work hard.

Natural talent is just a foundation for hard work, it doesn’t mean you can be complacent with just having talent.

Lu Mohai looked at Lu Qingyi with sadness in his heart, ultimately he didn’t say anything, he truly didn’t know what to say.

The food was served rather quickly. Xu Boyan urged Lu Qingyi to go wash her hands and asked Lu Mohai to do the same.

Xu Boyan arranged the dishes properly, then he fetched the bowls and chopsticks. He filled the rice bowls, making sure everything was perfect.

When Lu Qingyi and Lu Mohai returned after washing their hands, they seated themselves at the table. Lu Mohai looked at the flavorful dishes covering the table and sighed softly.

Xu Boyan must really like Lu Qingyi. Even though he never used to do these things, he was now willing to do all the cooking because of her.

A man who had never cooked before, was now doing so for a woman. This was love, and Lu Mohai could tell that Xu Boyan must truly love Lu Qingyi.

"Why is everything made with green pepper?"

Lu Mohai picked up his chopsticks and noticed that most of the dishes on the table were made with various types of green pepper, along with some meat dishes. He raised his eyebrows slightly.

All the dishes were made with green peppers, he didn’t really understand.

"I like it."

Lu Qingyi said. Her eyes softened with a smile; Xu Boyan knew of her preference and had prepared these specially for her.

She was particularly picky about her food, and Xu Boyan also strived to make dishes that catered to her taste.

It’s not that she didn’t eat meat, she just didn’t like it much. Minced meat was still acceptable, but she lost her appetite at the sight of larger cuts of meat.

She felt that she was an odd creature, extremely picky, and apart from the dishes Xu Boyan made, there was no other restaurant that could cater to her taste.

"You like green peppers?"

Lu Mohai was a bit taken aback. Looking at Lu Qingyi, he asked her slowly.

Lu Qingyi actually liked green peppers while Ruan Qingyang liked lantern peppers.

Their preferences were quite unique. True to their mother-daughter relationship, they both liked a specific kind of pepper.

Their tastes were quite peculiar.

"Yes, I’ve loved it since I was a child. I also think my preference is quite unique, and strange."

Lu Qingyi responded with a faint smile, acknowledging the uniqueness of her liking for green peppers.

"Your mother likes lantern peppers—you and your mother have somehow fixated on peppers. You are truly like mother like daughter."

Lu Mohai said with a laugh. Lu Qingyi and Ruan Qingyang were really alike.

He really wished to know why Ruan Qingyang had suddenly left all those years ago, why she had left the child behind.

He didn’t understand Ruan Qingyang’s reasoning. If Ruan Qingyang wanted to keep the child, she could have told him. He would have married Ruan Qingyang and they could have raised the child together.

If Ruan Qingyang only wanted to give birth to the child, she could have informed him. He could’ve arranged residence and everything else, and after the birth, he could’ve brought up the adorable child.

Lu Mohai really couldn’t comprehend what Ruan Qingyang was thinking. Ruan Qingyang was a talented doctor, she must have realized her pregnancy early on.

Ruan Qingyang probably left because she was pregnant.

"I suppose this is what it means to be related by blood."

Lu Qingyi said with a slight smile, envisioning the image of her mother in her mind.

If possible, she really wanted to meet her mother. Her mother, Ruan Qingyang, must have been a formidable woman.

Xu Boyan served as a silent participant at the side. He helped Lu Qingyi with the food and also placed everything but the green pepper dishes in front of Lu Mohai.

The father-daughter were in a conversation, and he didn’t want to interrupt.

"Why did you fall in love with my mother."

Even till now, Lu Qingyi was unable to utter the word "Dad". It just couldn’t seem to roll off her tongue.

"You’re much better than your mother. She was colder, even more—inaccessible. Apart from Wen Wanyu who was always by her side, she didn’t really interact with anyone else, perhaps only with academics and scholars. The first time I saw your mother was when Wen Wanyu brought her to the Lu Family.

The second time I met your mother, it was in Hardrick’s medical laboratory. She was conducting an experiment with a serious and solemn expression.

The third time I saw your mother was in a small restaurant near Hardrick’s laboratory. She and Wen Wanyu were eating spicy hot pot. Most of the time, Wen Wanyu was talking and your mother would occasionally smile.

I can’t exactly say when I fell in love with your mother. I felt it might have been the first time, but it doesn’t seem like it..."

Lu Mohai slowly closed his eyes, as he began to reminisce about the days when he met Ruan Qingyang.

He suddenly realized how wonderful those days were. He yearned for those times all of a sudden.

He knew Ruan Qingyang, but she didn’t know him. He slowly approached her, even though she was cold, her heart was delicate and gentle.

Her kindness to people was shown through her actions, rarely conveyed through expressions.

Many people thought Ruan Qingyang was cold and aloof, but those who had truly spent time with her knew that she was just not good at expressing herself. Her dealings with people were exemplary.

Listening to Lu Mohai, Lu Qingyi began painting a picture of her mother in her head. She felt like she had actually seen her mother.
