Then he took Xu Qingqing and Xu An'an away.
On the way back, Xu An'an skipped ahead. Lu Chuanbai pinched Xu Qingqing's waist and chuckled vengefully.
"I heard you clicking your tongue several times just now. Are you dissatisfied with me somewhere?"
Xu Qingqing was tickled by Lu Chuanbai's pinching. She struggled to break free from Lu Chuanbai's embrace and ran to Xu An'an's side for refuge. She even stuck out her tongue at Lu Chuanbai defiantly.
Time passed by quickly. Two days before the wedding, Father Lu invited everyone to have a meal and get together.
Xu Qingqing and Lu Chuanbai naturally readily agreed. They took the two children to the hotel booked by Father Lu.
At 9:00, the lights in the five - star hotel were as bright as day. The delicate and beautiful crystal chandeliers hanging on the ceiling sparkled. People coming and going were all dressed in neat suits or elegant evening dresses.
Only the Lu Chuanbai's family dressed casually, but their inherent nobility still made them stand out.
Led by the waiter, they came to the private room where Father Lu was. Lu Fenglin, whose plaster on his arm had already been removed, followed behind Father Lu. He stood at the door of the private room to greet the people coming for the meal.
After not seeing him for a few days, Lu Fenglin's formerly furrowed brows were now much more relaxed. The accumulated depression had also dissipated, and he looked much more sunny and cheerful.
When Father Lu saw Lu Chuanbai bringing the two children and Xu Qingqing, he immediately greeted them happily. He bent down to pick up the two children and smiled with his eyes crinkled.
"Hey, Yiyi and An'an. Grandpa finally sees you again. Are you hungry?"
"Grandpa, I'm hungry."
Xu An'an patted her little belly and said in a milky voice.
"I only drank a bag of yogurt for lunch today so that I could have dinner with Grandpa."
"Grandpa, I'm hungry too."
Xu Yiyi reached out to hug Father Lu's neck and rubbed her little head against Father Lu's face.
"Okay, okay, okay. Grandpa will ask the waitress to serve the dishes right away. You two eat more."
Father Lu carried the two children into the private room kindly. He let the two children sit on either side of him so that he could pick up food for them.
Lu Fenglin, who was still standing at the door, looked at Lu Chuanbai and Xu Qingqing. His eyes were calm and gentle, and the knot in his heart was completely gone.
"Brother, Sister - in - law, come in quickly."
After Lu Fenglin said the words he had rehearsed many times smoothly, the tense string in his heart finally relaxed, and he let out a long breath.
So it wasn't that difficult to say these four words after all.
Xu Qingqing gave Lu Fenglin a gentle smile and nodded slightly in response: "Okay."
Lu Chuanbai also patted Lu Fenglin's shoulder. Although he said nothing, the uncontrollable smile on his lips revealed his thoughts.
He used to dislike Lu Fenglin calling him brother, but now it sounded quite pleasant.
Soon, Father Xu and Mother Xu also came. When Mother Xu saw Father Lu, she greeted him warmly: "In - law, long time no see."
"Long time no see."
Father Lu stood up warmly to greet Father Xu and Mother Xu: "You two in - laws should sit in the main seats. You are our honored guests."
Mother Xu kept declining: "This won't do. You're the host today. You should sit in the main seat."
Mother Xu and Father Lu argued. Finally, Father Xu sat in the main seat without hesitation, and then they stopped pushing.
Father Xu looked at Lu Chuanbai sitting with Xu Qingqing unhappily and sighed in his heart.
His daughter was finally taken away by Lu Chuanbai.
Xu Qingqing was once wronged by Lu Chuanbai. If Lu Chuanbai dared to be unkind to Xu Qingqing in the future, he would never let Lu Chuanbai off!
"Stop pushing. The food will get cold if you keep doing this."
Father Xu filled the wine glass in front of him.
Father Lu pushed Mother Xu to sit beside Father Xu: "Sister - in - law, stop declining. Sit down quickly."
Mother Xu glared at Father Xu and half - reluctantly sat down: "Okay then. Brother - in - law, you sit too."
After saying that, Mother Xu stepped on Father Xu's foot, leaving a black mark on his shiny black leather shoes.
"Didn't I tell you before we came? You should smile more. Don't always pull a long face. You look like someone owes you a fortune."
Mother Xu whispered to scold Father Xu.
Father Xu doted on his daughter too much, so he was reluctant to let his daughter get married.
But people had to adapt, right?
She was also reluctant to let the two children go after Xu Qingqing and Lu Chuanbai got married, but she didn't pull a long face and make a fool of herself.
"Got it." Father Xu took a piece of paper and wiped the dust on his leather shoes under the table.
The whole family continued to have a happy meal. Father Lu also brought the desserts he made for the two children. While giving the desserts to the children, he said with a smile.
"Brother and Sister - in - law, it's not easy for the two kids to get together. I'm really happy for them."
"Thank you for marrying Qingqing, such a nice girl, into our family. I'd like to toast you."
Father Lu was truly grateful to Father Xu and Mother Xu.
Since Xu Qingqing and Lu Chuanbai got together, Lu Chuanbai had changed from being cold and moody to being much more gentle, and his relationship with Father Lu had also improved.
Saying that, Father Lu filled his wine glass, stood up, and toasted Father Xu and Mother Xu.
Mother Xu quickly pulled Father Lu up and returned the toast.
"No, Chuanbai is also very excellent. We'll be relieved knowing that Qingqing can marry him."
Hearing his mother - in - law praise him, Lu Chuanbai quietly showed off to Xu Qingqing: "Mom thinks highly of me. Hehe."
Xu Qingqing burst out laughing. Her charming peach - blossom eyes were filled with spring water.
Lu Chuanbai was really easy to please. One word from Mother Xu had made him so happy.
Lu Fenglin on one side felt like an outsider. He couldn't fit in with the two families, so he could only drink and eat silently.
The sensitive Lu Chuanbai noticed Lu Fenglin's uneasiness. When Lu Fenglin was about to pick up the wine bottle to pour himself a drink, Lu Chuanbai picked up the wine glass first and poured a glass of wine for him.
Lu Fenglin looked at Lu Chuanbai in surprise. He picked up the glass and took a sip, with his lips tightly pursed: "Thank you."
Lu Chuanbai propped his chin with one hand and raised his eyebrows as he watched Lu Fenglin drink up the red liquid in the glass. He said with a smile.
"This wine isn't for free. If you drink the wine I poured, you have to help me."
Lu Fenglin looked at Lu Chuanbai speechlessly. He put down the empty glass. The wine had already been swallowed, and he couldn't spit it out even if he wanted to.
Lu Chuanbai was really something. Every time he started to have a good impression of him, Lu Chuanbai would always cause some trouble.
"What do you want?"
Lu Fenglin looked at Lu Chuanbai warily, always feeling that there was something sinister in Lu Chuanbai's smile.
"It's not a big deal. I just want you to be my best man."
"Be the best man?" Lu Fenglin exclaimed in surprise, which made everyone at the dinner table look over.
"It's nothing. You guys continue chatting."
Lu Fenglin waved his hand embarrassedly. He covered his face with his hand and looked at Lu Chuanbai in disbelief.
