Chapter 791 Lu Shichu’s Side Story Part 6

There were many things they wanted to say, but it felt challenging to express them after they finally met.

Apart from exchanging pleasantries, it was difficult to bring up some topics after everything that had happened.

Feeling restless, Qin Muchen paced back and forth in the kitchen before he couldn't contain himself any longer and stepped outside.

Both of them looked at Qin Muchen, and he raised an eyebrow and calmly sat down next to Su Ziyue, asking, "What were you guys talking about?"

Lu Shichu rose from his seat and suggested, "It's getting late. Why don't you two stay for dinner? I'll cook."

He had initially considered asking them to leave, but Su Ziyue clearly didn't wish to depart.

Lu Shichu had grown accustomed to accommodating Su Ziyue's wishes.

"I'll help you." Qin Muchen followed closely behind Lu Shichu and entered the kitchen.

Su Ziyue felt a little taken aback, sensing that Qin Muchen was behaving strangely.

As she sat on the sofa for a while, she couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss.

Two grown men cooking in the kitchen while she sat alone on the sofa seemed a bit off to her.

Yet, she was immensely happy that the two could finally coexist peacefully.

What brought her even greater joy was the fact that Lu Shichu was willing to see her. His leg had healed, and he could stand up again.

Meanwhile, Lu Shichu and Qin Muchen entered the kitchen. The atmosphere in the narrow kitchen became somewhat tense.

Lu Shichu prepared the ingredients while Qin Muchen washed them.

Surprisingly, the two men worked together seamlessly.

Su Ziyue observed them from the doorway for a while. With a peculiar expression, she turned back and returned to the living room.

What she didn't know was that after she left, the two men in the kitchen slowed down their movements and started talking.

Qin Muchen initiated the discussion, asking, "Is your leg better?"

"I think so," Lu Shichu replied vaguely.

"Seeing you like this puts us at ease."

Lu Shichu's chopping motion paused slightly as he responded, "Is that so?"

In his mind, he secretly yearned for her to keep him in her thoughts if he refused to meet her.

Whether he played the role of the older brother who had been there throughout her growth or the person who had saved her husband's life, as long as she remembered him in her heart and cared about him, it would be enough.

That was his selfish desire.

For a fleeting moment, he hoped that Qin Muchen still harbored the same pettiness he once did.

However, he recognized that Qin Muchen had grown more shrewd now. Although he minded it in his heart, Qin Muchen still wanted to appear generous.

If Su Ziyue wanted to see Lu Shichu, he would bring her to see him.

Su Ziyue was familiar with Qin Muchen's personality. Knowing how petty he had been in the past, she was deeply moved by his newfound generosity.

Lu Shichu suddenly thought of an internet term, "angelic b*tch."

He realized that this term also suited Qin Muchen's current behavior.

A mocking smile appeared on Lu Shichu's lips as he asked, "And what about you?"

"I'm doing great. I have a wife and a son." Qin Muchen knew that Lu Shichu was asking about his

illness.

He was truly doing well now.

Nothing was more important than having Su Ziyue by his side. As long as Su Ziyue was there, they could overcome anything.

After that, the two men didn't say much.

They had a peaceful dinner.

Before parting ways, Qin Muchen went to the parking lot to get the car, while Su Ziyue and Lu Shichu walked to the entrance of the residential area together.

When they reached the entrance, Lu Shichu said to her, "Ziyue, the past is behind us now. I'm doing fine, so you don't have to blame yourself or worry anymore. Just live a peaceful life with Qin Muchen."

His words were intended to free Su Ziyue from any psychological burden.

However, he didn't expect that his words would actually provoke Su Ziyue.

Turning to look at him, she wore a faint smile and replied, "What do you mean by that? Are you trying to cut ties with me? Do you think you'll be all alone in Jingcheng while I live a peaceful life with Qin Muchen in Yunzhou City? Let me tell you, that's impossible! I still owe you for all the kindness you've shown me. We can't cut ties. After I give birth, I'll send you an invitation, and I'll come to visit you during the holidays."

Her expression was exactly the same as when she stubbornly refused to listen to him when they were younger.

Lu Shichu was momentarily stunned, and it took him a few seconds to react.

With a smile, he gazed at Su Ziyue without uttering a word.

Indeed, cutting ties with her was impossible. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

In their younger years, he cared for her because she was the well-behaved and adorable little girl from the neighbor's house.

As time passed, he pitied her when her father was imprisoned.

There were reasons for his actions in the past.

However, as they grew older, he found himself doing everything for her without any specific reason.

Simply because she was Su Ziyue.

The line between love and other emotions had blurred, and the name "Su Ziyue" had become deeply ingrained in his very being.

Qin Muchen had already driven the car over and stuck his head out of the window.

Lu Shichu noticed Qin Muchen and finally said to Su Ziyue, "Alright."

Su Ziyue was overjoyed and glanced back three times at him before she left.

After watching the car disappear, Lu Shichu turned around and slowly walked toward the elevator.

...

Su Ziyue and Qin Muchen left Jingcheng City the next day.

He received a farewell text message from Su Ziyue in the lab.

For a moment, it felt like time had reversed.

He remembered a similar situation when she was eighteen and forced to go abroad. Even though he was also overseas at the time, she sent him a farewell text message at the airport.

Back then, apart from An Xia, she had no friends in the vast Yunzhou City, and no one cared about her.

He was the only son of the Lu family, and his parents had expectations of him. When he was seventeen, they sent him abroad to study.

From a young age, Lu Shichu displayed exceptional talents and was aware of some of the situations Su Ziyue faced when she went to the Su Residence. His father had advised him that complete peace between people was rare.

Even the closest individuals would have conflicts and arguments over trivial matters. It was a natural part of life.

In the first few years after he went abroad, Su Ziyue would still complain to him, but as time passed, she gradually shared less and less.

When he returned to visit his family, she would only share good news and spared him from any worries about her troubles.

He heard some rumors about her during her senior year of high school when he called home. He even asked his parents to bring Su Ziyue to live with them.

However, Su Ziyue had expectations for her own family, and the Su Family wouldn't agree due to reasons of pride and reputation.

Sometimes, family ties didn't necessarily bring warmth. In necessary times, they could push one deeper into the quagmire.

It was also the same year that he received an international award and caught the attention of Gricy's people.

They threatened him with his family and used Su Ziyue as leverage.

At that time, he was already in the process of applying to return for graduate studies.

While Su Ziyue was forced to go abroad, he found himself facing threats from Gricy's people.

After coming to Jingcheng, he often wondered if things would have turned out differently between him and Su Ziyue if he hadn't been targeted by Gricy's people and faced those threats. Maybe Qin Muchen wouldn't even have a place in her life.

Nevertheless, such speculation only existed in his imagination.

In the eyes of others, he had always been an outstanding person from childhood to adulthood. He had envisioned a simple life as a doctor, saving lives and marrying a kind and lovely wife, living the most ordinary life.

However, life had different plans in store for him.

Fortune was unpredictable, and misfortune lay beyond expectations.

For him, fate had always been absurd.
