1235 Side Story 14: Captain Lu, Long Time No See

It was the weekend.

Longmao Building was very lively.

On the third floor, there was a high-end tea restaurant that was exquisitely decorated and had an elegant environment.

A tall man walked over with two little children.

One was being carried with one arm, while the other was holding onto his other hand.

He was dressed in an all-black casual outfit and had a baseball cap of the same color on his head.

His clothes were loose and casual, but for some reason, he still looked very tall and regal.

Even with only a view of his back, he still exuded a handsome and upright temperament.

It was obviously not his first time here. As soon as he reached the door, the staff recognized him and welcomed him warmly.

“Mr. Lu, you’re here.”

The shop assistant’s eyes swept over the faces of the two little children, and her smile deepened.

The adorable little divine babies were also here!

“Suisui, Guoguo, you guys are here too?”

Lu Guoguo’s eyes curved as she smiled.

“Yup! My brother and I just came back from the training ground with Uncle!”

She waved her little hands in excitement.

“Shooting and fighting are both fun!”

Lu Yuxiao lowered his head and glanced at Lu Suisui.

Lu Suisui was silent for a moment. He raised his hand to adjust his collar which was slightly askew.

Lu Yuxiao gently tapped on his forehead.

Of all people to offend, he had to offend his own father.

In the end, he had still been sent away.

He had been transferred back to the Capital due to work, so he spent most of his leisure time taking Lu Suisui to experience the dangers of life.

Oh, it was mainly because of his father’s ominous demeanor.

He walked in with Lu Guoguo and Lu Suisui.

Suddenly, he stopped and looked to his left.

“Mr. Lu, what are you looking at?”

Lu Yuxiao collected his thoughts and withdrew his gaze.

“It’s nothing.”

The man’s voice was deep and clear.

He sat down by the window with Suisui and Guoguo.

“Mr. Lu, will you be having the same today as before?”

Lu Yuxiao nodded, then thought of something.

“Please serve Suisui and Guoguo first. Mine will be served later.”

The waitress was momentarily stunned before she carefully asked, “Do… Do you have an appointment today?”

“Yes.”

An awkward expression appeared on the waitress’ face, but she still nodded in agreement.

“O-okay!”

She put down the menu and turned to leave.

A few of the other wait staff quickly surrounded her.

“Hey, Sister Zhao, is Young Master Lu here again today?”

“Guoguo and Suisui are also here!”

Sister Zhao raised her finger to her lips.

“Shh! Lower your voices! Are you afraid that people can’t hear you?”

She turned around and sighed.

The others were puzzled.

“Sister Zhao, what’s wrong?”

Young Master Lu and their boss were friends. He would come over whenever he was free. Although he did not come often, who would not be happy to see such a handsome man sitting there?

Therefore, every time he came, everyone’s enthusiasm for work would be very high.

Today, this was…

There was a complicated look in Sister Zhao’s eyes as she shook her head.

“Tell me… what woman would like a man who brings two children along when she’s on a blind date?”

Young Master Lu had been going on blind dates for several years, but ultimately, he would only meet them once and never follow up with another date.

It was said that the old master of the Lu family was getting very frustrated.

Even their boss would waive the bill every time he heard that Young Master Lu was here for a blind date.

However, there was still no movement from Young Master Lu’s side.

This time, however, he had brought his nephew and niece along!

In what way was this suitable for a blind date?

The others shared looks with each other, with very interesting looks on their faces.

“Well, I believe the boss will order for his meal to be free again today.”

“I think it’s because of Young Master Lu. He’s cold and emotionless. I think he probably still won’t be married even after I retire…”

“You jinx! Even with this man’s temperament, just his face alone would make countless women fall for him. It’s not that he can’t get along with anyone, he clearly just doesn’t want to!”

In fact, Lu Yuxiao was dressed very discreetly today. Even so, countless eyes in the store were on him from the moment he walked in and sat down.

He received particular attention from a few young girls who blushed immediately.

Of course, when they saw Lu Guoguo being carried by him and Lu Suisui beside him, they all stopped in their tracks.

One of the wait staff snorted.

“What’s the point of thinking so much? Isn’t it enough to have such a top-notch handsome man to look at? Besides, we still have Guoguo and Suisui!”

Another nodded in agreement.

“It is! By the way, have you seen the guest at Table 7? She’s very beautiful!”

This teahouse had very high standards, and the customers who went in and out were all of high status. They saw many beautiful women on a daily basis.

However, the person at Table 7 had killed him in seconds just by sitting there.

“It looks like she’s only in her early 20’s, I think? She looks so pure and beautiful! Her temperament is especially good and gentle like water. It’s amazing! Oh, right, I even suspect that her hands are used for modeling. They’re so beautiful!”

“I think she’s here on a blind date too, but I don’t think she’s interested in that man. She’s been on the phone since she sat down, and she hasn’t stopped talking since…”

Sister Zhao looked at them and said, “Alright, alright. Are you done with your work? Why are you here gossiping about the guests? Disperse!”

…

“Miss Ji? Miss Ji?”

The man across from her called her several times before she finally came back to her senses.

For a moment, she felt that she must have gone crazy and hallucinated that man’s voice.

She came back to her senses and gave the other party a gentle and generous smile, but there was also a hint of a sincere apology in her smile.

“I’m sorry, I was just thinking about the concert tour.”

Her smile was bright and warm.

The man’s emotions that had arisen from having only heard her say three sentences to him in the span of half an hour instantly disappeared.

Miss Ji was an internationally renowned violinist. It was said that she had just returned to China and was busy with a concert tour in the country. It was understandable that she was busy!

He immediately said, “It’s okay. I know that Miss Ji has been busy recently.”

A look of relief appeared on Ji Xiru’s face. She looked at her watch again with an apologetic expression.

“Ah, I see. I have to meet with the orchestra in half an hour. I’m afraid it’s going to be a busy day.”

The man felt a little regretful, but since this was what she said, naturally, he could not stop her.

“I understand. Miss Ji’s business is important. I drove here today, so why don’t I send you there? ”

Ji Xiru smiled as she declined.

“Thank you, but there’s no need. One of my colleagues happens to be here, so I’ll go to look for her.”

Only God knew how torturous this half an hour had been for her.

However, her family had already found out about her bad habit of leaving within three minutes of her blind dates and she had been scolded for it.

In any case, today’s mission could be considered complete.

It was time to wrap it up now!

With that, she got up and left.

The man’s gaze swept across her face, but he still said,

“Then… Then allow me to walk Miss Ji to the door–”

This was not an easy offer to refuse.

Ji Xiru pursed her lips and smiled as she nodded.

When she passed by a dining table, she noticed two little dumpling-shaped children gathered together. They seemed to be looking at the menu very seriously.

She could not help but laugh.

Suddenly, one of the little dumplings moved to the side, as if he wanted to come down.

His short legs were unable to reach the ground, and he was about to fall!

Ji Xiru’s heart clenched. She immediately stepped forward to pick up the little dumpling.

“Be careful!”

Lu Suisui was stunned.

Why had he not landed successfully this time?

Lu Guoguo was also stunned. She blinked her big black grape-like eyes and stared at Ji Xiru for a long time.

This sister is so beautiful!

But… How why had she stopped her brother?

Ji Xiru lifted Lu Suisui back to his seat and heaved a sigh of relief when she was assured that he had not fallen.

“Little kids, where are your parents?”

However, when she looked around, she did not see the adults.

She frowned slightly.

“Who brought you here? How could they abandon you and leave you here alone? This is too irresponsible!”

This was the first time Lu Guoguo and Lu Suisui had heard someone call their uncle irresponsible. They were stunned.

Lu Suisui hesitated for a moment, then pointed behind her.

“That…”

Before Ji Xiru could react, she heard a familiar deep and clear voice.

“I brought them here. Do you have any objections, Miss Ji?”

Ji Xiru’s body instantly froze!

She did not dare to turn around.

However, the man’s gaze behind her just fell on her, making her feel both cold and hot.

Lu Yuxiao had not expected to be criticized so harshly before he could even go over to get the ice cream for the two little ones.

The main thing was that it was this person.

The man next to her was stunned by what he was seeing. He glanced at Lu Yuxiao and Ji Xiru and said, “Miss Ji… do you know this gentleman?”

At this point, playing dead was no longer possible.

Ji Xiru took a deep breath and turned around as if she was ready to face a firing squad.

After not seeing him for so many years, this man looked much more mature without his combat uniform than she remembered.

He was much more indifferent and cold.

To her.

She greeted him and forced out a smile.

“Captain Lu, long time no see. I didn’t expect your children to be so big.”

Lu Yuxiao stared at her, then glanced at the man beside her.

The man’s body suddenly shuddered! That gaze was as sharp as a blade!

Lu Yuxiao chuckled.

He had always been cold and stern, and rarely smiled.

Now that he was smiling, Ji Xiru’s legs went soft from fear.

No, she was not scared.

It was because she was feeling guilty.

“It’s been a long time indeed. I didn’t expect Miss Ji’s taste…”

Lu Yuxiao suddenly paused. After awhile, he continued, “It seems that after you dumped me, life hasn’t been treating Miss Ji very well.”
