Lu Xiangtian did not hear an answer for a long time. Just when Zhao Youlin thought that Lu Xiangtian might fly into a rage… she heard him let out a long sigh. “You can’t be blamed for this. Shu’er has lost that thing for so many years. It’s definitely not going to be easy to get it back now. However, that
thing can also be considered the object of love between Shu’er’s mother and me back then. Shu’er’s mother is no longer around. If possible, I’d still want to get it back. It can be considered as a memento. “Otherwise, I keep feeling that she’ll blame me when we meet down under in the future.”
“How can that be? The master has already found the lady of the house. When you do meet her in the afterlife the lady will surely feel comforted when she knows this.”
Lu Xiangtian did not say anything else. Zhao Youlin, on the other hand, was a little surprised. She did not expect Lu Xiangtian to be so loyal. He was unlike those rich people who only cared about whether they had many descendants or not. Why would they care about whether they had many women or
not?
Lu Shu’s mother was dead. Who knew how happy she would be if he found someone else? The child’s mother was dead, and he had a child. He did not have to worry about having to take responsibility for the child’s mother. He could still enjoy himself to his heart’s content. Just thinking about it made her
feel wonderful.
However, Lu Xiangtian clearly did not share the same thoughts. Even though he knew that Lu Shu’s mother was already dead, he still wanted to find their love token and leave it as a memento. This person was unexpectedly loyal.
Zhao Youlin was focused on the conversation of the people behind her. She did not notice that a cat had quietly walked over from the next table. It was only until her feet suddenly felt a weight that Zhao Youlin was startled. She lowered her head to look, she saw a cat lying on her feet in an extremely silly
and cute manner. It raised its large head and shouted at her, “Meo’
Zhao Youlin was caught off guard and jumped in fright. The fork in her hand fell on the table and hit the plate that was holding the steak, making a crisp sound.
The people behind Zhao Youlin were shocked when they heard the movement. They stood up and shouted, “Who… who is there?”
Zhao Youlin closed her eyes helplessly and turned her head to look into a pair of deep and cold eyes. Although the seats in this cafe were separated, the window that acted as a barrier was hollow, she stood up and turned her head to see what life was like sitting behind her.
Zhao Youlin pretended to be surprised to find that the person behind her was someone she knew. She asked in surprise, “Uncle Lu, it’s you. Why are you here?”
At that moment, the owner of the cat rushed over. He hurriedly picked up the cat that was still barking on the ground and apologized to Zhao Youlin, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Our family has troubled you for nothing.”
Zhao Youlin smiled and completely ignored Lu Xiangtian who was still staring at her as if he was facing a great enemy. She reached out and touched the cat’s round head, “So this little guy is called Ban Bai. He’s really cute. However, it’s better to keep a close eye on him in the future. Otherwise, if others see
him and like him, they might take him away.”
The cat’s owner was stunned for a moment and quickly said, “Yes, yes, yes. I will keep a close eye on him in the future.”
After watching the cat and its owner leave, Zhao Youlin turned around to face Lu Xiangtian and the others. A few burly bodyguards stood in front of Lu Xiangtian and stared at Zhao Youlin warily.
Zhao Youlin looked surprised and confused, but Lu Xiangtian did not see any fear or guilt in her eyes.
Normally, would an ordinary girl be so calm when faced with such a situation? The answer was yes.
Lu Xiangtian narrowed his eyes and pushed aside the bodyguards in front of him. He took the initiative to walk toward Zhao Youlin and said with a smile, “Why are you here, Mrs. Mu?”
Seeing that Lu Xiangtian didn’t get angry, Zhao Youlin took the initiative to get close to him. She was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, “I came out to have a meal with my husband. I didn’t expect to meet Uncle Lu here. What a coincidence.”
Lu Xiangtian glanced at the two steaks on the table, as well as the coffee in front of Zhao Youlin, who had obviously taken a few sips. The coldness in his eyes subsided a lot, and he walked over to sit opposite Zhao Youlin, He nodded and said, “It is indeed quite a coincidence. I happened to pass by this
place and saw that the decor of this shop was not bad, so I came in to have a seat. I didn’t expect to meet an acquaintance, which is also fate. Is this steak delicious? I was in a hurry to go out in the morning and didn’t eat anything, Now that I’ve woken up, I feel a little hungry.”
Zhao Youlin was startled again when she heard that, after returning to her senses, she smiled slightly and said, “I also saw that this shop’s decor was pretty good, so I came in. I didn’t expect that the taste was pretty good. However, since you didn’t eat this morning, it’s better not to eat such greasy food all
at once. It’s not good for your stomach. It’s better to eat some light porridge.”
Lu Xiangtian’s expression changed because of Zhao Youlin’s words, and the way he looked at Zhao Youlin suddenly changed.
Zhao Youlin’s heart skipped a beat. She didn’t understand what she had said wrong to provoke Lu Xiangtian, so she could only ask tentatively, “What’s wrong?”
Lu Xiangtian seemed to have woken up from a dream. The gaze he used to look at Zhao Youlin was no longer as cold as before. There was still a hint of nostalgia and warmth in his eyes. “It’s nothing. There were people who used to say such things to me.”
“In the past?”
Lu Xiangtian smiled and did not say anything else.
Zhao Youlin could not ask any more questions. The two of them just sat face to face, and silence spread between the two of them.
Lu Xiangtian sat in Mu Tingfeng’s seat just now and looked outside through the glass window on the side. Perhaps because he had thought of something, Lu Xiangtian’s side profile was unusually gentle at this moment. If she had not known his true identity from the beginning… looking at his side profile,
one might really think that he was just an ordinary middle-aged man.
Lu Xiangtian was still immersed in his memories, while Zhao Youlin took this opportunity to size up this important figure who had given many of her senior colleagues a headache.
The two of them did not speak, so the people that Lu Xiangtian brought naturally did not dare to disturb them. Time passed bit by bit, and Zhao Youlin’s heart started to grow nervous.
At this moment, Lu Xiangtian suddenly looked away from the window and turned his head to look at Zhao Youlin. That sharp gaze made Zhao Youlin’s hair stand on end.
Zhao Youlin’s heart suddenly jumped to her throat, but she tried her best to maintain a polite smile on her face.
Lu Xiangtian stared at Zhao Youlin for a long time and suddenly laughed. “I’m getting old. My eyes are a little blurry.”
“Huh?” Zhao Youlin frowned and looked confused. She didn’t understand what Lu Xiangtian meant.
He really wanted to lament that he was getting old, that he was not as old as he felt, or… that he had seen something…
