"The chicken soup is too hot----" Fang Yan said embarrassedly while wiping his mouth with a tissue.
"Child, why don't you pay attention when eating?" Grandma said in a reproachful manner, standing up and finding a rag to wipe the soup stains that Yan had sprayed on the table.
"Okay, I won't talk anymore." Fang Yan said with a smile.
"You can't stay silent. I was just asking you a question." Grandma was still asking that question. "Should you and Chaoge's marriage be on the agenda? I mentioned this three years ago, but you and Chaoge didn't take my words to heart. You were still young at that time, so I wanted you to spend a few more years together to build up your relationship. But now three years have passed, and you two are not young anymore. Can you think about this matter? Three years after three years, how many three years can a person have in his life?"
In the study, grandpa reminded himself not to let down Lu Chaoge, a good woman. Now, grandma discussed this matter seriously at the dinner table.
Fang Yan understood the attitude of his grandparents towards Lu Chaoge. During the three years when he was away, Lu Chaoge took care of them and comforted them instead of him. She walked into their lives and also into their hearts. They had long regarded Lu Chaoge as a family member.
Fang Yan felt that it was necessary for him to explain this to his grandparents. He wanted to tell them the true relationship between him and Lu Chaoge. Were they just friends? Comrades-in-arms? Partners? Or partners who depended on each other in life? Friends who trusted each other emotionally
For a moment, Fang Yan couldn't determine the relationship between him and Lu Chaoge.
She was an indispensable person in his life, but she was not the one who accompanied him day and night - although they still lived under the same roof, he lived next door to her, and had breakfast at the same table every morning.
But, they never got that far.
Fang Yan wanted to tell his grandparents that he had a girlfriend, her name was Ye Wenrou - she was pretty, cute, sometimes a little confused, but very good at fighting. She could protect herself and their grandson from harm.
Maybe we should find some time to bring Ye Wenrou here. They must like Ye Wenrou very much when they see her, right? Just like they like Lu Chaoge.
Fang Yan put down his chopsticks. Just as he was about to discuss this issue with his grandparents, Lu Chaoge, who had been eating with his head down, said, "Grandma, I will discuss this issue with Fang Yan. Don't force him."
Grandma doted on Lu Chaoge to the core, and she listened to this very opinionated girl's words. When she heard her say that she wanted to "communicate" with Fang Yan, the grandmother really stopped asking questions, but just looked at Fang Yan and Lu Chaoge earnestly, and said: "I'm still thinking about holding a grandson. Your mother has nothing to do all day, and she's not in a very good mood right now. If there is a child to keep her busy, the situation will probably be better."
Fang Yan nodded and said, "I've been calling my mother these past two days. She's been in good spirits lately. I'll go back to visit her whenever I have time."
Lu Zheng picked up a piece of fish and put it into his wife's bowl, saying, "Let's eat. Let the children worry about their own affairs."
"Eat." Grandma began to stuff fish and meat into Fang Yan and Lu Chaoge's bowls.
Inside the GMC RV, Fang Yan was watching an entertainment program on TV, laughing from time to time at the host's wonderful lines and funny actions. Lu Chaoge was looking at a new fashion magazine, marking a few clothes and jewelry that she liked. When the time came, her assistant Meng Xiaoying would naturally help her choose and buy them according to her size.
The two of them looked very busy, and the atmosphere in the carriage was not solemn. However, they both felt that something was blocking them -
Qin Ying didn't know what happened, and turned around and said, "Teacher Fang, the steamed buns your grandmother made are really delicious. There are nine in a basket, and I ate four by myself. The other two guys ate two and a half each, and they kept saying that they were not full----"
Fang Yan smiled and said, "If you like it, ask grandma to steam more for you next time."
Qin Ying looked at Fang Yan in confusion and said, "When I make such an impolite request, don't you always reject it directly? Why did you agree so readily today? You don't have anything to ask of me, do you?"
"I beg you to shut up." Fang Yan said.
"------" Qin Ying looked at Fang Yan and Lu Chaoge in surprise, and quickly pulled up the small window partition between the cockpit and the back seat. He knew that the two people in the back were in trouble. Let them fight to the death and love and kill each other.
Fang Yan took the remote control and turned off the TV with a bang. He looked at Lu Chaoge and asked, "Why don't you let me explain to grandma?"
"How do you explain it?" Lu Chaoge asked back.
"We have to tell them about this----" Fang Yan said. "In the study, grandpa asked me to treat you well. On the desk, grandma forced us to get married. Chaoge, they should know that I already have a girlfriend----"
"Then tell them that Lu Chaoge is not the woman you like. She is just your close friend, your work partner, and your community of interests?"
"Chaoge-----"
"Fang Yan, being denied by a man is such an embarrassing thing for a woman." Lu Chaoge said sadly. The big boss behind Chaoyan Technology, the Little Flame Queen, also has the emotional entanglements of an ordinary little girl. If this kind of thing gets out, it will probably surprise the media reporters, right
"I'm sorry----" Fang Yan looked at Lu Chaoge sincerely. "I just thought that we shouldn't let this misunderstanding grow bigger, otherwise it will make the situation more and more difficult for both of us. I think they must not only be urging me, but also urging you behind your back, right?"
"They urged me, but I didn't feel annoyed. On the contrary, I felt happy deep down inside." Lu Chaoge said very frankly. "Because someone is caring about me, caring about me - not for personal gain, but for personal feelings."
"--------"
Lu Chaoge was wearing a white professional suit. When she crossed her legs, the hem of her skirt was pulled up to her plump thighs.
Under the silver jacket was a light yellow silk shirt with the front of the shirt pushed up high, and the buttons that served as restraints seemed like they could fly off at any time.
Her long hair was loose, with a phoenix tail at the bottom. She was lightly powdered, with delicate features, and she looked like a ripe peach. Everyone who saw her would have this feeling. If you take a bite, the juice would splash out, and it would be sweet and delicious.
This is already a 31-year-old woman. She has the best years of her life and is at the peak of her career.
However, this is also a dangerous stage because the time from blooming to falling of flowers is too short.
"Fang Yan, you didn't feel sorry for me. In fact, I should be the one who should feel sorry." Lu Chaoge didn't avoid Fang Yan's gaze and directly stated the secret in his heart. "What you did today was right. You have the right and obligation to tell your grandparents that you have a girlfriend. You should even bring her to them to show them. They are all people you care about, and you also hope that they can like each other in your heart - it's just that I made it difficult for you."
Lu Chaoge smiled bitterly and said, "I know it's wrong, but I'm unwilling to correct it. I'm just too selfish."
"They said you were very nice to them when I was away-----"
"I treat them well because they treat me better." Lu Chaoge stroked the hair on his forehead, his palm unconsciously stroking the beauty on the page, and said: "After my aunt left, you are my only relative in this world. I regard you as my relative, and subconsciously I also regard your grandparents as my relatives. After I knew that your father had an accident, I thought they must be in a very bad mood, so I thought about accompanying them. After all, they are just two poor old people."
"I encountered several ambushes on the way back. Although I survived them all, my grandfather still found out about it and forbade me to visit him again. There were even several times when I stood at the gate of the courtyard and it was tightly closed. No one answered even though I knocked or called out -- but I still couldn't help but go over. Time and time again. Finally, they were moved by me and stopped forcing me to leave or closing the door to prevent me from coming in."
"Fang Yan, you are a very good person, and they are all very good people too. It is precisely because you are so good to me that I am attached to this feeling of home, and I am reluctant to leave. So, when you wanted to expose all this in front of grandpa and grandma, I hurriedly spoke out to stop you. Because I realized that I was not ready yet."
Lu Chaoge looked at Fang Yan sincerely and said, "Fang Yan, you have a girlfriend, this is a fact. We are friends, confidants, and partners, but not lovers, this is also a fact----Since we are not lovers, how can we live together like this forever? Since we are not lovers, how can I always occupy your relatives as my relatives?"
"I will leave eventually, I just hope you can give me a little time-----" Lu Chaoge's eyes were soft and even pleading. "I just want to have a home, too." (To be continued)
