This meal was very rare, so Jiang Rong talked about a lot of things that happened when Lu Yubei was young.

The majority of it was said by Jiang Rong while Xiaoqiao and Yubei were quietly listening. Although Yubei had always been concentrating on gracefully eating his meal, Xiaoqiao could feel that the hand he was holding onto the chopsticks, was trembling lightly.

That kind of trembling was like the trembling of the heart.

It was touching, but even more so!

His mother, who had been touched by him, still remembered things about his childhood and hadn't completely forgotten them.

"This is what you like to eat. Today, I specifically ordered the kitchen to cook it. You have to eat more." Jiang Rong personally brought the dishes to Lu Yubei's bowl.

Clearly … It was a very considerate action.

Not knowing why, Xiaoqiao felt a pinch on her nose and her heart was blocked even more.

What was this?

Slap him and give him another sweet date?

They were obviously a mother and son. They should be very close to each other in this world, yet why did it seem so estranged when they were even having a meal together?

"En!" Lu Yubei replied softly.

Xiaoqiao also extended her chopsticks and picked up a few of the dishes in front of Lu Yubei.

Seeing her suddenly eat these few dishes, Lu Yubei looked at her in surprise: Why do you suddenly like to eat these?

"I want to try the taste that you like and memorize it. When we go back, I will learn from you and cook for you in the future." Xiaoqiao said.

Hearing that, Lu Yubei's throat moved, his mouth opened slightly, as though he wanted to say something, but … His lips trembled, and he shifted his gaze away. In the end, he did not say anything.

However, there was still a warm feeling flowing through his chest.

So warm, so heady.

This was his wife, a woman who would not hesitate to stand by his side and protect him at any time.

"Lu Yubei, how lucky were you to have met her in your three lives?" In his heart, he was rejoicing again and again, glad that he had met her.

As expected …

Not long after he finished lunch, Xiaoqiao's ominous feeling was realized.

Just as Yubei was about to say goodbye to her, Lu Zhongtian opened his mouth and said, "Yubei, I have something to talk to you about, come with me to the study room."

Heh …

It turned out that not only did Father Lu want Jiang Rong to look for her, but also Yubei.

Was this supposed to be a policy in which people split up and attacked one another?

"Wait for me." Lu Yubei said as he looked at Xiaoqiao.

Xiaoqiao nodded and gave him a comforting look: "Ok."

After Yubei followed him upstairs, Jiang Rong also looked at Xiaoqiao: "Xiaoqiao, I also have something to tell you."

"Alright."

Arriving at the study room, Lu Zhongtian was hesitating on what to say. He also felt that this matter was very absurd and didn't hesitate to speak up. However, he had already promised Zihe, so his heart ached for his grandson even more.

So today, he could only call Lu Yubei and Xiaoqiao back.

"Dad, if you have something to say, just say it." In the end, it was Lu Yubei who spoke first.

It was only then that Lu Zhongtian spoke up, his voice extremely heavy. "Yubei, this matter is related to Zihe, you should also know that your big brother and big sister leaving one after another has a huge impact on Zihe. Yesterday, Zihe came to find us, and he made a wish."

"Something to do with Xiaoqiao?" Lu Yubei asked. Although it was a question, it was already an affirmation tone.

Otherwise, Mom would not have asked if Xiaoqiao was with him today, nor would she have intentionally arranged lunch for him.

"Mn, it has to do with you and Xiaoqiao." Lu Zhongtian said in a heavy voice.

"Go on."

Lu Yubei's words were also extremely heavy. He opened the window, took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth, his emotions unclear. After a long while, he took out the lighter from his body.

Following a clear and melodious sound, Lu Yubei's slender fingers opened the lid of the lighter, and then... A flame jumped out. In just a moment, it had already lit up the cigarette in his mouth.

Lu Yubei closed the lighter and held it between two fingers of his right hand. He took a deep breath and spat it out fiercely.

In a split-second, thick smoke lingered around his breath, almost covering his entire face. It was hazy, making it hard for people to see the true emotions on his face.

Seeing Lu Yubei's current state, Lu Zhongtian's words were cut short.

In his heart, a trace of a small heartache slipped past.

But? That kind of heartache was too weak, too unworthy of mentioning. It passed through his heart in an instant without leaving any trace.

Lu Yubei's fingers were still holding onto the cigarette, he had already puffed out a few mouthfuls of smoke, and with each puff, he used all his strength and sucked it straight into his lungs.

"Yubei..." Lu Zhongtian walked towards him with slight difficulty.

Lu Yubei turned around and his black eyes met with Lu Zhongtian's eyes as he said: "Dad, since it's something you want to say, then just say it all at once. I know that even if you don't say it this time, you'll still have to say it next time."

"Alright then!" Lu Zhongtian lowered his hands: "Then I'll be frank. Zihe likes Xiaoqiao, his parents are already gone. This is the only thing we can do, your granny and I both want to properly compensate him."

Compensation?

Using a son's happiness to compensate a grandson's happiness, was this the so-called method of compensation?

Lu Yubei's heart felt a chill.

What does it feel like?

It was like a cold winter, cold and dreary everywhere, and the cold air was moving, but his heart was like a huge ice cellar, and the temperature inside was frighteningly low. There were frozen ice everywhere, layers and layers of thick ice piled up, but the people closest to him still poured cold water onto his mouth one after another.

In just an instant, that cold water had turned into ice, congealing in the heart wall and continuing to pile up.

As a result, layer upon layer of ice covered their hearts, causing them to suffocate to death. However, there were still some people who refused to give up.

"…"

Lu Yubei didn't say anything. He extinguished the cigarette in his hand and extended his hand … He took another cigarette and lit it again.

He silently waited just like that, waiting for Lu Zhongtian to finish speaking.

He knew that he still had more to say.

"Since Zihe likes Xiaoqiao that much, they had originally been engaged to each other. It's just that in the end, it was a coincidence that you and Xiaoqiao were bound together, so … Your grandma and I are saying, let them have their way, you have to suffer a little. "

Completion?

How could these two words, his biological father, be said so lightly and so lightly?

A little wronged?

He thought that for the sake of being loyal and filial, he, Lu Yubei, had already suffered many grievances.

He also believed that as a person's child, he would do his best, being as perfect as possible. He wouldn't be any worse than anyone else.

But even so, his parents did not care. Their stand would always be on the side of another son or grandson.

Lu Yubei raised his head, his eyelids blinked, some emotions overflowed from his pitch-black eye sockets, but he maintained his composure and withdrew them.

After a long while, he looked at Lu Zhongtian, and asked with a hint of slight ridicule and ridicule, "So? What are you going to do? "
