209: Chapter 177: I Can Eat On My Own, No Need For You to Feed Me_3 209: Chapter 177: I Can Eat On My Own, No Need For You to Feed Me_3 Li Weihuan cast a sharp glance, âDo I?
Do I?â
Lu Qingtian immediately nodded, very sincerely, âYes, very much!
Especially that despising and resentful look youâre giving me now, itâs exactly like it!â
Li Weihuan: ââ¦â
âAhem!â The old patriarch lightly cleared his throat, âAlright, letâs all stop talking now.
Itâs not easy for Weihuan to come over and have dinner with me.
Letâs all just enjoy a peaceful mealâ¦
Xiaozhen, stop rushing around and sit down to eat!â
Xia Zhen nodded, âYes, dad!â
Li Weihuan picked up his chopsticks, glanced at everyone, and then asked, âWhy didnât my second uncle come back today?
Does he usually not return often?â
Xia Zhen shook her head, âRecently, heâs been coming back quite frequently; itâs just that heâs tied up with something todayâ¦â
From the subtle smile in Xia Zhenâs eyes, it was clear that this was because her son had called earlier to tell them that Nanxi had a cold and was staying with him.
He needed to take personal care of her, so he wouldnât be back tonight!
In Xia Zhenâs eyes, the two must surely be approaching living together by now.
Coupled with the implications of what Lu Yinchu said last time, she suspected she was close to welcoming a grandchild!
At this thought, she smiled even more deeply!
Li Weihuan, who sat beside her, was a little curious, but he didnât know how to ask.
He could only say, âIt must be hard for my second uncle to be alone all the time.
He could use some companyâ¦
By the way, didnât he have a girlfriend before?
They were together for quite a while, right?
Why havenât they settled down yet?â
Xia Zhen paused for a moment.
The old patriarch became silent.
They both knew exactly who the âgirlfriendâ Li Weihuan was referring to was, but in all this time, Lu Yinchu had never admitted to it himself!
The only person Lu Yinchu had openly acknowledged was Nanxi!
Lu Qingtian, having been âscoldedâ by Lu Yinchu before and currently, adhering to the principle that anyone who opposed her godlike older brother was a fascist, frowned upon hearing Li Weihuanâs words:
âAre you talking about Sister Han?
Sheâs not my brotherâs girlfriend.
When did my brother say she was his girlfriendâ¦
Sheâs not even his type!â
Li Weihuan cornered his mouth, âNot his type?
Then tell me, what type does your brother like?
I might be able to find someone suitable among the girls I know and introduce her to him.â
Lu Qingtian shook her head, âThereâs no need for your introduction, my brother has found a sister-in-law for me!â
Li Weihuan frowned in confusion, âYouâre saying your brother foundâ¦what exactly?â
Lu Qingtian blinked her eyes, suddenly remembering that Lu Yinchu seemed to have told her not to tell others about her sister-in-law yet, especially not her meddlesome cousin sister-in-law!
But in her heart, Li Weihuan was not just someone else, heâs one of the family!
Lu Qingtian didnât quite understand how to explain to Li Weihuan now and could only look to her grandfather and mother, Xia Zhen, for help!
Xia Zhen didnât speak, and the old patriarch lips tightened, saying only one sentence, âItâs not much of a big deal.
Your second uncle recently took a liking to a girl and brought her home for us to see.
We were all quite satisfied, but as for what will happen next, it all depends on your second uncleâ¦
We are old and canât intervene too much!â
Li Weihuan: âA girl?
What kind of girl?
Whatâs her name?
How old is she?
Whatâs her personality likeâ¦â
Lu Qingtian leaned in again, âNephew, are you possessed by the spirit of âa million questionsâ?â
Li Weihuan frowned, âAdults are talking, children shouldnât interrupt!â
Lu Qingtian retorted, âIâm already seventeen, how am I still a child?
Donât forget, Iâm your young aunt!â
Li Weihuan took a breath, feeling uncomfortable under the weight of this âyoung auntâ title, and then said, âFine, young aunt.
Can you please be silent while the adults are talking?â
Adults?
Well, Lu Qingtian isnât an adult, but adhering to her policy of being adorable and obedient, she immediately fell silent!
She bowed her head and continued eating!
The old patriarch studied Li Weihuan with lowered brows.
He understood what kind of person his grandnephew was.
The main purpose of his return from the military district courtyard this time was to personally witness his grandsonâs wedding!
When his great-grandson later returned, he naturally hoped that his great-grandsonâs future could also be settled.
At twenty-five, he wasnât exactly young any more!
He then spoke, âYour second uncle is 32 years old.
He has his own thoughts and can handle things well, so Iâm not too worried about that.
But itâs you, I heard from your second uncle that you plan to work on a project with your father, have you decided on that yet?â
Li Weihuan nodded, âI have decided!â
The old patriarch spoke in a slightly serious tone,â Since youâve decided, then do it well.
If thereâs anything you donât understand, ask your father or your second uncle.
Youâre still young now, but time waits for no one; a few years will soon pass and youâll be 30.
Make sure you seize the moment!â
Li Weihuan said, âI know, great grandfather, you can rest assured!
This time, Iâve really decided to change!â
For Nanxi, he had to change; there was no other choice!
But does his second uncle have a new girlfriend now?
Why didnât he know anything about it?
And it seems they have already met the parents, which means theyâve been together for a long time!
Li Weihuan felt a slight discomfort.
After dinner, Li Weihuan didnât stay long and left from the Lu family.
On the way, he called Nanxi, and this time the call finally got through.
Li Weihuan asked, âHowâs your health?â
âIâm fine now, donât worry!â Nanxi pursed her lips.
It had been a lie Yang Su had started â that it was her time of the month.
This assertion made her feel quite embarrassed!
Li Weihuan was troubled by his thoughts and didnât know how to bring it up with Nanxi.
Nanxi was his girlfriend, and he should trust her!
But who exactly was the woman who made his second uncle willing to stop and stay, if it wasnât Han Qing?
Li Weihuan said, âNanxi, let me bring you some medicine.â
Upon hearing this, Nanxi immediately declined, âNo need, itâs too late now.
You should get some restâ¦â
After pausing for a moment, Li Weihuan said, ââ¦Okay then, Iâll pick you up tomorrow!
Good night, Nanxi!â
Nanxi: âGood night.â
â¦
At that moment, having ended the call, Nanxi was filled with a feeling of guilt.
She really felt like she was betraying Li Weihuan!
A hand reached over and gently held hers.
She paused, turned her head, and looked at Lu Yinchu!
âNanxi, donât worry too much!â he said.
