Chapter 217 Do You Still Have Him in Your Heart?
We had lunch and the party lasted until the afternoon.
The driver took Lu Xingchen, her daughter, and Li Zhen back to Guangyue Zuncheng.
The car drove to the downstairs of where Lu Xingchen and the others lived. Li Zhen walked them to the door. Xu Fanghua naturally said, "Li Zhen, come up and sit down. I'll make some tea for you."
Li Zhen wanted to agree, but he turned around and smiled to see what Lu Xingchen meant.
Lu Xingchen had already confessed her feelings to him enough today. She really needed to keep some distance to calm her heart which was beating faster whenever he got close to her. She didn't dare to meet Li Zhen's gaze for a long time. She said to Xu Fanghua, "Let him go back and rest. I want to rest too."
After hearing what she said, Li Zhen politely said to Xu Fanghua: "Auntie, you guys go up. I'll go have tea with you next time."
"Then let's go upstairs first." After saying that, Xu Fanghua walked into the building, and Mrs. Zhang followed her.
Lu Xingchen looked at Li Zhen and said, "You drank a lot. You may feel better if you go back and take a nap. I'll go up too."
After saying that, she turned around and was about to walk into the building, but her hand was grabbed by Li Zhen and pulled back. He quickly hugged her into his arms. Lu Xingchen was so scared that she quickly pushed him away, "My mother is right in front of us, what are you doing..."
Li Zhen only hugged her for a while, and let go when he was pushed away, but he still held her hand tightly, "Otherwise, I'll wait for you downstairs."
"What are you waiting for me downstairs for?"
"Once you have settled your aunt down, come to my place together."
"What are you thinking about..." Lu Xingchen pushed his hand away, "Put aside your desire to push your luck."
"You don't have to go to my place." Li Zhen did not hide the fact that he really wanted to push the envelope. "We can go on a date, watch a movie or go shopping."
Lu Xingchen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I'm tired, I want to go back and rest."
Today, he didn't want to rest even if he was exhausted. Li Zhen looked at her and asked, "Don't you want to stay with me for a while?"
"I have been with you since morning today."
"There are other people here. Don't you want to be alone with me?" he said and pulled her hand again.
Is he still acting like a spoiled child with her? Lu Xingchen looked down at his undeterred hand, smiled, and raised her head to say to him word by word: "I want to be alone for a while now."
"Stars."
"That's enough." Lu Xingchen pushed his hand away again in annoyance, "My mom and the others are waiting for me, let's go."
Li Zhen was very reluctant, but he had to put his hands in his trouser pockets, otherwise he would not be able to resist pulling her back to hug her for a while. He really wanted to hug her for a while longer, but Lu Xingchen, this heartless little guy, really left without looking back after he said he would leave.
"Stars."
"Huh?" Lu Xingchen turned around.
Li Zhen was reluctant to leave, "Text me when you get home."
Lu Xingchen found it funny. Wasn't she downstairs right now? But seeing his clingy look, she nodded and agreed, "Okay."
Li Zhen then pulled out a hand and waved to her. After she walked into the building and her figure disappeared for a long time, he turned around and got back into the car.
When Lu Xingchen arrived at the elevator, she found that Xu Fanghua and Aunt Zhang were not waiting for her, so she took the elevator back to the 28th floor alone.
Hearing her closing the door, Xu Fanghua hurriedly wiped her hands and walked out. Seeing that she was the only one coming in, she asked, "Li Zhen didn't come up?"
"No." Didn't I say I couldn't come up? I don't know what she was expecting? Lu Xingchen felt funny in his heart and bent down to change his shoes.
Xu Fanghua walked over and continued to ask, "When did you and Li Zhen get together? I heard from that girl surnamed Deng that you two had been in a relationship before, and what do you mean you pursued him not because you liked him?"
"It's not what she said." Lu Xingchen avoided the question and went to the sink to wash his hands.
Xu Fanghua followed closely, "That's not true? I heard from Li Zhen's mother that you helped arrange for Li Shu to study abroad. When did that happen?"
At this point, Lu Xingchen could only answer while washing his hands: "When I was studying at Guangdong University."
Xu Fanghua guessed it but was still a little surprised, "You were with Li Zhen when you were in school, and I didn't even know about it."
Yes, she told Lu Dingsheng about this matter first, because her mother was too gossipy. And if she knew that Li Zhen had such a bad background, even if she didn't stop him, she would definitely list all the pros and cons for her, and even go to Li Zhen to question him in person.
In addition, Lu Xingchen had to admit that she might have liked and trusted Lu Dingsheng more at the beginning.
Because when she was a child, her mother didn't spend much time taking care of her alone. Instead, it was Chen Xiaolin's mother, Chen Shufen, who always took care of her.
She has no memory before she was three or four years old. When she regained some memory, her mother, under the urging of her grandmother, made various preparations for pregnancy in the hope of having a son.
She didn't know before why her mother sent her abroad to study when she was very young. Later she understood that it was because her mother knew that she was not Lu Dingsheng's biological daughter when she was six years old, so she tried to keep her away from the Lu family as much as possible and make her as successful as possible in her studies.
She didn't know any of this when she was a child. She only knew that her mother didn't spend much time with her and was very strict with her. It was not until she was nine years old, when she heard Lu Dingsheng tell her grandmother that she was his only child and was no worse than his son, that she was willing to constantly break through her potential in order to become an excellent child to her parents.
Therefore, the environment has shaped her feelings towards her parents. She has always doted on her mother like her father, but she is used to discussing many issues and decisions with her father.
Xu Fanghua saw that she was distracted while washing her hands and pushed her, "Mom is asking you a question."
Lu Xingchen turned off the water and took a piece of paper to wipe his hands. "We were dating at that time but we weren't planning on getting married. What if he found someone new not long after I told you..."
Before he could finish, Xu Fanghua slapped him and said, "How could it be possible that you are as stubborn as your father..."
Here I stopped abruptly again.
They all knew that the "your dad" Xu Fanghua was referring to was Lu Dingsheng, but this time they were silent for only a short while before Lu Xingchen asked, "Has the old lady called you recently?"
"No, I also want to ask what method you used to make her not contact me for such a long time."
The two walked to the sofa and sat down. Lu Xingchen confessed to Xu Fanghua without any intention of hiding it: "I found Lu Dingsheng."
Xu Fanghua was slightly stunned. After a moment, she said in a normal voice, "I thought you wouldn't go looking for him."
"I didn't expect that there are still people in the Lu family who miss us. Especially, they shouldn't have constrained you for so long." Lu Xingchen said and looked at Xu Fanghua, "I also told him that it was the old lady who forced you to marry Lu Wenli. He seemed quite shocked when he heard it."
Xu Fanghua was silent for a moment, and finally just smiled.
Lu Xingchen thought for a moment and said, "Mom, I didn't tell you that the reason Yang Wenqi got pregnant with Lu Dingsheng's child was because the old lady drugged him."
Xu Fanghua looked at her for a moment and said, "You didn't tell me because you knew this wouldn't change anything, right?"
Lu Xingchen was silent for a moment. "Not entirely. When I knew about this, you had already divorced him. It was impossible for us to continue staying in the Lu family. I was worried that telling you would only make you think about it."
Xu Fanghua smiled bitterly.
Lu Xingchen apologized: "Do you still have him in your heart?"
