470: Chapter 321: Hi, Mr.
Lu, Have You Seen Me?_1 470: Chapter 321: Hi, Mr.
Lu, Have You Seen Me?_1 At the Lu Familyâs, Nanxi waited until around four in the afternoon, when she finally received Lu Yinchuâs call.
Lu Yinchu said over the phone that he would have Mo Yan pick her up at five in the afternoon and take her directly to the restaurant!
âAre we eating out?â
Lu Yinchu furrowed his brows, âIf you want to eat at homeâ¦â
âNo need, letâs just eat outâ¦â Nanxi took a deep breath.
Her cooking skills were subpar and Lu Yinchu, who had been busy all day, would certainly not expect her, the âbirthday star,â to cook.
Therefore, she conceded on this matter.
Howeverâ¦
âUmâ¦Lu Yinchu, can I choose the restaurant?â
âOf course!â Lu Yinchu agreed readily, âJust tell Mo Yan the location, and I will call to confirm before I come!â
âOkay!â answered Nanxi.
â¦
As for Lu Yinchu not being able to eat at home on his birthday, Xia Zhen felt heartbroken.
The old Mr.
Lu, on the other hand, was quite annoyed.
After ranting for a while, he comforted Nanxi by saying: next time Lu Yinchu returns, she should give him a good scolding!
Nanxi gave a dry laugh.
Should she thank Grandpa for this?
Xia Zhen made a tonic soup for her.
Nanxi felt grateful deep down and declined, promising to exercise more and slowly improve her health.
Xia Zhen said, âExercise is necessary, but you must also drink these tonic soupsâ¦
It will be more effective with both!â
Xia Zhenâs words amused Nanxi.
That day, she pretended to be unaffected by Lu Yinchuâs absence, but deep down, she was disappointed.
People canât conceal their emotions.
Thinking about this, Xia Zhen, who initially understood her sonâs situation, started blaming him.
She felt that no matter how significant the companyâs matters were, they couldnât overshadow his wife and child, especially on such a special dayâ¦
This time, her son really went too far!
Luckily, Nanxi was understanding and sensible.
Despite missing her son, she made every effort to cheer up the old Mr.
Lu, constantly defending her son in front of him.
Indeed, she made the right choice with this daughter-in-law!
â¦
Lu Yinchu didnât finish all his work until around six in the evening.
On the way to the restaurant, he called Mo Yan.
Mo Yan said, âMadam is sleeping in the resting room.
Shall I wake her up?â
âNo need!â Lu Yinchu pursed his lips before saying, âLet her sleep a bit longer!â
Lu Yinchu drove for over half an hour before he finally arrived at his destination.
This restaurant wasnât very big, but it was elegantly decorated.
The restaurantâs name was very heartwarming â âFated Bondâ.
It seemed like a place for couples.
The only inconvenience was that it was a bit out of the way.
Lu Yinchu walked in and Mo Yan was already there to greet him, immediately ushering him towards the resting room.
Mo Yan left, and Lu Yinchu hesitated before pushing the door of the resting room open and stepping in.
His footsteps were very light, almost silent.
On a chair a few steps away, a woman was curled up, with her eyes closed, a soft, calm expression on her face.
Through the glass window, the sparse sunlight fell on her face, creating a beautiful, radiant glow.
Her normally fair complexion appeared almost translucent in the light.
She was so beautiful, so unreal in her beauty, just like a painting!
He walked over, his hands resting on the wooden armrests, as he leaned over to gaze at her face, and then, his thin lips gently pressed against her soft, pink lips.
He meant to kiss her lightly, but the passionate emotions welling within him meant that this kiss was destined to become something more intense as it progressed.
With a kiss as fervent as this, even if Nanxi was deep in sleep, she should have woken up!
The manâs nose pressed against hers, his dark eyes seemed to stare into her soul.
âNanxi!â He called out.
One hand lifted to cup her cheek, his breath ragged as he managed, âBaby, close your eyes.â
Nanxiâs eyelashes quivered.
She hadnât yet reacted when her lips were once again claimed.
The kiss seemed to last an eternity before he finally released her, breathing hard.
The setting sun outside the window had already disappeared when he finally broke away.
He looked down at her flushed face and slightly swollen lips.
A teasing smile graced his sexy lips.
Leaning in again to kiss the corner of her mouth, he murmured, âCompensation.â
â¦
When the couple entered the main dining hall, the blush hadnât faded from Nanxiâs face.
They ordered and ate in silence, surrounded by other couples.
It was as though once, they too, were just an ordinary couple.
The dishes were exquisite, and the ambiance refined.
She didnât speak at all throughout the meal, seeming to treat it as an ordinary dinner.
Midway through, she asked, âHow does it taste?â
âVery good!â After a pause, he asked her, âBeen here before?â
A restaurant for couples, selected by herâ¦
and Nanxi used to have a boyfriend.
A young couple, indulging in occasional romanceâ¦
With a deep breath, he stopped that line of thought.
While he had already chosen to be calm, bringing it up still brought forth a wave of torment.
âNo!â
Lu Yinchu furrowed his brows, raised his head, and looked at her with confusion.
âBut I do have classmates whoâve been here.
They said the steaks here are delicious and the ambiance is greatâ¦â
âJust that the location is a bit out of the way.â
âUnderstated, luxurious and meaningfulâ¦
Plus, the steaks are delicious, and I find it absolutely worth it.â
âIndeed, itâs quite worth it!â Lu Yinchu gave a small smile.
âHmm, you continue eating, I need to use the restroom,â Nanxi said.
Lu Yinchu nodded and asked, âDo you need me to accompany you?â
âNo need.â Nanxi blushed.
Who needed someone to accompany them to the restroom, especially a man!
Lu Yinchu didnât push.
He nodded and said, âAlright, go ahead.â
âHmm!â
Nanxi exhaled and headed toward the restroom!
Lu Yinchu looked at her departing figure, his eyes deepened:
Today, she was wearing a very bright maroon dress, a color she had never worn before.
Was she wearing it for him?
She had feelings for him!
But in fact, it was more than just having feelings for him.
Everything Nanxi was about to give him was far beyond just a âsurpriseâ!
â¦
That day, as the evening sunlight waned and it was almost seven oâclock in the evening, Nanxi went to the restroom.
Within two minutes, the lights in the restaurant suddenly shifted to a soft blue hue.
The only bright and clear light fell on the piano not far away!
A soft and enchanting melody slowly started, with the extremely romantic âTonight-I-Celebrate-My-Love-For-Youâ leaping from a girlâs fingertipsâ¦
Passionate melody, coupled with the emotional lighting, intertwined and spread out in the air.
Inch by inch, it entered the ear and soaked the heart!
All the couples around started whispering, occasionally casting their eyes on the transparent corner, their expressions either entranced, confused, appreciative, or infatuatedâ¦
But sitting not far away, a man in a suit and shoes expressed surprise at first, then settled into ease as he sat silently listeningâ¦
Tonight-I-celebrate-my-love-for-you (Tonight, I express my love to you)
It-seems-the-natural-thing-to-do (It feels just right, a natural progression)
Tonight-no-oneâs-gonna-find-us (Tonight, no one knows our whereabouts)
Weâll-leave-the-world-behind-us (The world fades away for us)
When-I-make-love-to-you.
(When I show my love to youâ¦)
Tonight-I-celebrate-my-love-for-you (Tonight, I express my love to you)
And-hope-that-deep-inside-youâll-feel-it-too (I hope you can feel the same)
Tonight-our-spirits-will-be-climbing (Our spirits intertwined, ascending to the heavens)
To-a-sky-filled-up-with-diamonds (Reaching the diamond-studded starry sky)
When-I-make-love-to-you,tonight.
(Just tonight, when Iâm showing my love to youâ¦)
â¦
â¦
Tonight-thereâll-be-no-distance-between-us (Tonight, there will be no distance between us)
What-I-want-most-to-do,is-to-get-close-to-you (What I want most is to get close to you)
â¦
â¦
The manâs eyes flickered slightly due to the girlâs singing.
He was familiar with this song!
Yes, he was familiar with it.
Years ago in Hong Kong, he had heard her hum this song!
Her English was pretty good, and she sang very well, but unfortunately, she knew very few songs unless she had specifically learned them!
Months ago, they had âbumped into each otherâ at a KTV.
He chose a Cantonese song, hinting at something.
Others may not understand, but he knew clearly!
He really wanted to hear her sing this song again, in front of him, very close to him!
Regrettably, it never happened!
But, surprisingly, she sang it today.
Compared to many years ago, her voice had matured considerably.
The sweet sensation was less, but the deeply intertwined scent was more!
At one moment, he seemed to see Nanxi at fourteen or fifteen, the girl who liked to wear a blue dress and run under the sun.
The girl with a warm smile like a sunflower, the girl called Nanxi, his girlâ¦
At the end of the song, the girl stood up and gave a deep bow to the surrounding guests.
After a few seconds of silence, the restaurant erupted into thunderous applause!
The girl picked up the microphone next to the piano, her eyes gazing in his direction, then she waved at him, âHey, dear Mr.
Lu, do you see me?
Iâm Gu Nanxi!â
The crowd buzzed, while Lu Yinchu on this end slightly lifted the corner of his mouth.
Under the cobalt blue lights, the manâs face seemed somewhat unreal, but it could be vaguely discerned that this was a man of superior temperament and looks!
So everyone knew that this was a romantic occasion where a girlfriend was surprising her boyfriend!
Some were surprised because, according to the usual plot, shouldnât the man be surprising the woman?
Some people broke into a smile, looking at the girl under the spotlight.
Her temperament and looks were both impeccable, especially that maroon dress she was wearing.
She looked as fair as snow, like an angel that had descended to earth!
People began to envy this âMr.
Luâ.
Although they were strangers, but having such a beautiful girl publicly professing her love in this manner, âMr.
Luâ was truly fortunate!
At that time, this âMr.
Luâ simply waved to the girl, indicating that he had been here all along, listening all the while!
