Nobody would have expected that as soon as he moved, a pair of delicate little hands would suddenly grab his arm and start looking at itâ¦
Li Weihuan was shocked, shaking off Lu Qingtianâs hand, ââ¦What are you doing?â
Lu Qingtian quickly explained, âNephew, donât be scared, I wonât hurt you, I just want to take a look at your nailsâ¦â
Li Weihuan: ââ¦â
Nanxi: ââ¦â
Next to them, Lu Wenming frowned upon seeing this, âQingtian, what are you doing? Just sit still!â
Lu Qingtian stuck her tongue out and went silent!
However, she later paid close attention to Li Weihuanâs hands, as if he had indeed hurt himself!
During the moon admiration time in the evening, Lu Qingtian was sitting next to Nanxi, munching on fruit from the fruit platter and murmuring to herself while looking at the moon, âHow come nothing happened? It seemed so intenseâ
âPffâ¦â
Nanxi, who was sipping tea next to her, almost choked when she heard Lu Qingtianâs words!
What did she mean by âIt seemed so intenseâ? As if she was an expert on the matter!
Lu Yinchu quickly handed Nanxi a napkin to wipe her mouth and casually admonished Lu Qingtian. Lu Qingtian stuck out her tongue and said, âAfter seeing a handsome guy, you forget your sister!â
Lu Yinchu: ââ¦â
By 9:30 in the evening, after appreciating the moon, the old master was assisted back to his room to rest by Xia Zhen and Lu Wenming.
When the old master left, the remaining people lost their interest in appreciating the moon, and the people from the Li family took their leave.
Nanxi realized that the only reason why this big family could gather so happily was all because of the old master. They all wanted to keep him happy!
The old master was already approaching eighty-eight, and his health was fluctuating. If one day he was gone, what would happen to the Lu and Li families?
Nanxi and Lu Yinchu went back to their room. Lu Yinchu made a call to Han Shaojing, gave him the location of the gathering, said goodbye to Lu Wenming and Xia Zhen at 9:50, and left the house with Nanxi!
When Lu Qingtian saw that the two were leaving, she hurried over and asked, âBrother, sister-in-law, where are you two going? Can I come too?â
âNo!â Lu Yinchu flatly refused. âYouâre in your senior year of high school now, and youâll be taking the college entrance exam next year. If you have time, you should read more books. The minimum goal: getting into H University!â
âWhat? What if I donât get in?â
âIf you donât get in?â
Lu Yinchu looked at her calmly, âIf you donât get in, Iâll send you to study abroad! So whether you want to stay in the country and go to H University or go abroad, think it through!â After saying this, he left a still shocked and puzzled Lu Qingtian behind, took Nanxiâs hand and exited the door!
While entering the car, Nanxi said, âYouâre really planning to send Qingtian abroad!â
âHavenât decided yet!â Lu Yinchu said. âHowever, if she really doesnât get into H University, Iâll consider sending her abroad to broaden her horizons and learn. It sounds like a good choice. Iâm considering either Canada or the United States. Our cousin is there to look after her, she should be fine!â
Nanxiâs eyes flickered but didnât say what she was thinking. In her opinion, whatever arrangement Lu Yinchu made, there must be a good reason behind it, and itâs the best path for Qingtian to take!
During the trip, Nanxi told Lu Yinchu about the blood stain on the bed sheet. Lu Yinchu said, âActually, Iâve known for a long time that it wasnât from a virginâ¦â
Nanxi was startled, âYou knew all along?â
âYes.â Lu Yinchu said, âNot because Iâm experienced or anything, just based on analysis, it seemed unlikely!â
âAnalysis?â
âYes!â Lu Yinchu nodded, âTwo reasons!â
âFrom Weihuanâs perspective: First, while Weihuan usually acts recklessly, he tends to behave himself a lot more in the Lu house. Even if he had feelings for Lun Ying, he wouldnât act on them at that time. Second, Weihuan still hasnât let go of his feelings for you. Despite being drunk, thereâs a stubborn part of his mind that wouldnât allow him to physically accept another woman. Third, Lun Ying holds a special place in Weihuanâs heart. Even if he wanted to misbehave for once, she wouldnât be his targetâ¦â
ââ¦â
âFrom Lun Yingâs perspective: Lun Ying is a very smart and careful girl. If she really had done such a thing, she definitely wouldnât have casually left the bed sheet in the bathroom and left. The reason it was left there was because she didnât feel it was her place as a guest to go about cleaning things in the Lu mansion. However, I believe she mentioned it to a servant before leaving. By now, the bed sheet has probably been taken away by a servantâ¦â
Nanxi was stunned, âThen why did you⦠Why did you do all those things and say all those words earlier?â
And even asked her to call Lun Ying⦠Why?
Lu Yinchu answered, âJust now, I just wanted to see your reaction, to give you a chance to test your ability to handle different things. I also wanted to see how you would behave towards Weihuan or anyone around you when Iâm not around. What would you do? How would you react? And your feelings for Weihuan, how much they have fadedâ¦â
ââ¦â Nanxi was a bit at a loss for words.
This man, heâs too crafty and too calculative. His emotional and intellectual intelligence are beyond her capability!
In short, she could never match him in mind games!
âWhy arenât you talking? Are you mad?â
Lu Yinchu turned to look at Nanxi and reached out to grab her hand.
âLu Yinchu, you said you wanted to see my attitude, are you satisfied with my attitude now?â
âWhat if youâre not satisfied? For example, if my feelings for Weihuan are still strong and I canât let go, what would you do then?â
ââ¦â After a moment of silence, Lu Yinchu began, âIf thatâs the case, I definitely wouldnât have shared the reasoning with you. I would just let everything take its course, and pretend to not know what I actually do know. Also, I would try even harder to understand you and do better, to make you wholeheartedly only think of me, Lu Yinchu. Only meâ¦â He paused, then said, âNanxi, I canât afford to gamble with you, and I canât afford not to have a backup plan. Having lost too much for too long, Iâm scared! I hope you donât blame me!â
