Chapter 372: 341 Physiology, health (1 more update)_1

"Come here," Lu Han reached out, beckoning Tang Su to come closer.

How could she overhear the gossip if she stayed that far from him? Would she be able to hear him when he spoke?

"That’s not very appropriate," Tang Su shook her head, her thoughts immediately going astray.

Lu Han was so close to being amused by this girl’s antics. Had she grown too tired these past few days?

Looking all dazed and cute, almost like the dopey penguins at the South Pole.

But quite adorable indeed.

"You don’t want to hear the gossip about your Sister Menmen?" Lu Han raised an eyebrow.

"..."

Tang Su realized that he was asking her to come closer to whisper the gossip to her, and here she was thinking his deep and affectionate gaze was a sign that he was going to pull another stunt.

After her nerves were calmed, Tang Su even found herself feeling a little disappointed.

Was she actually feeling sad that Lu Han wasn’t kissing her as often as before?

Such a lustful woman.

Lu Han knew that she must have thought too far into it, but seeing that she had realized her mistake on her own, he didn’t point it out.

He would have liked to, of course, but the timing and setting were indeed inappropriate.

After all, her parents and older brother were present. He could manage, but he always had to consider her feelings first.

Tang Su moved closer and even willingly offered up her ear.

"I haven’t told you before, but Bai Dingkai and Simen were once together," he said.

"???"

Huh?

Tang Su was dumbfounded. This news was truly shocking to her.

She knew that Bai Dingkai’s beloved was Sister Jiaojiao.

Lin Jiaojiao was beautiful enough to be the moon in Bai Dingkai’s sky.

But Bai Dingkai and Bai Simen?

She also knew that Bai Simen was a granddaughter sponsored by Patriarch Bai, not a blood relative of the Bai Family, so there was nothing legally wrong with them being together.

But still—

But still what?

Tang Su couldn’t quite put her finger on it.

She just found it surprisingly unexpected; if Lu Han had kept it from her, she would never have imagined they had such a relationship.

Seeing the confusion in Tang Su’s eyes, Lu Han nodded emphatically.

"Then why didn’t they get married? Did your grandfather not approve?" she asked.

"They both don’t know, Bai Dingkai was quite reckless when he was young."

Now, even Lu Han looked down on how Bai Dingkai had acted back then. He couldn’t comprehend how his upright and just grandfather had managed to raise a grandson like Bai Dingkai.

Bai Dingkai didn’t dare to speak out because he understood the consequences. Once exposed, he couldn’t escape the Bai Family’s punishment and would be coerced by his grandfather and parents into marrying Bai Simen.

Lu Han didn’t tell this to Dingxian not to protect Bai Dingkai.

Back then, with Bai Dingkai acting like a rebellious thorn, if you pushed him to marry, his obstinacy would have likely led him to accept being crippled rather than obey, even if it meant being removed from the Bai Family Genealogy, rather than marry Bai Simen.

To do so would be a loss that wasn’t worth the gain.

In the end, Bai Simen wouldn’t get what she wanted either.

"..."

Of course, Tang Su didn’t fully grasp what sort of story lay behind it all and didn’t ask further.

As the plane smoothly crossed the atmosphere, Tang Su yawned and felt sleepy.

Lu Han pushed the armrest up, placing the back cushion on his thighs, and patted it, indicating for Tang Su to lie down.

Tang Su hesitated for a moment, but eventually laid down without ceremony.

Tang Su slept through until there were only five minutes left before landing.

Upon landing, everyone else immediately turned on their phones, but Tang Su got up first to retrieve the carry-on luggage. Some luggage had been checked in, so had to wait in line to collect it.

On the way out, Tang Su and Lu Han both turned on their phones. As soon as the phones were activated, a barrage of messages came flooding in.

Lu Han ignored them, stuffing his phone into his pocket, one hand dragging his suitcase, the other holding onto Tang Su by his side.

Su Ruoan asked Su Yangming, "So, how about it, number five? Got a place to stay? If not, there’s a spare room at Tang Su’s place, or you can bunk in with Tang Feng."

Su Ruoan had no intention of displacing her best friend from her home for the sake of her son.

So, her arrangement continued to be having Tang Feng stay with Tang Su.

Su Ruoan was also considering whether she should take the opportunity while Tang Feng was still around to go look at apartments with him, so he’d have a place to stay when he returned.

After all, he would get married eventually, and if the girl’s family wasn’t satisfied with the place, selling it and buying another was just one extra step.

Quite convenient.

"Sister, don’t worry about me, I’ll stay in a hotel. I’m currently having fun shooting a drama with the younger generation. I’ll head straight to the film crew to meet up with Bai Dingkai and the others shortly," Su Yangming reassured.

Su Ruoan slapped her forehead, remembering now that Su Yangming had mentioned this to her, and she had forgotten.

"All right, as long as you have a place to stay, that’s fine. Oh, and remember, money isn’t everything. Focus on finding us a sister-in-law soon. Even Tang Su is about to surpass you," she reminded.

"I know, I’ll get on it," Su Yangming responded.

He was neither opposed to marriage nor to women, but nothing suitable had come his way over the years.

Better to go without than to make do with something inadequate.

Because if he were to marry, it would certainly be for a lifetime.

As they exited the airport, Su Ruoan spotted Zhao Xinlan.

Zhao Xinlan held two bouquets in her arms, standing in the most conspicuous spot.

"Welcome back," Zhao Xinlan opened her arms to greet her best, best friend.

Su Ruoan jogged over and hugged Zhao Xinlan. "Why did you come? Didn’t we agree you didn’t have to pick me up?"

"You said there was no need because you didn’t want me to overdo it, but if I really didn’t come, I’d be so heartless. Tang Bao, I’ve missed you," Zhao Xinlan then turned and hugged Tang Su.

"Godmother, I’ve missed you," Tang Su cooed in Zhao Xinlan’s ear.

In front of the elders who doted on her, Tang Su was like an everlastingly young little girl.

"Godmother missed you too. Come on, let’s go home."

"Okay."

As they neared the exit, Tang Su received a call from Sun Qing, who was stuck in the airport’s highway traffic, clearly frantic. "Hello, Tangtang, I’ll be at the airport soon, wait for me."

"No..." Tang Su barely got a word out before Sun Qing hung up the phone.

Su Ruoan looked back at her. "What’s wrong? Who called?"

"Sun Qing. She said she’ll be at the airport soon and asked me to wait for her."

"Okay then, you wait for her. Since we aren’t going the same way anyway, your godmother’s car doesn’t have room for so many people. Fengfeng, are you going home first or going straight with Tang Su?"

"I’ll go with Tang Su. My stuff is all at her place," Tang Feng said. He didn’t mean to be a third wheel to his sister and Lu Han, but mainly he didn’t want Sun Qing to be the sole third wheel. His company would make it somewhat better.

"Alright, everyone have a good rest today. Tomorrow, you siblings come home for a meal. Lu Han, if you have time, come along with them."

"Sure, Auntie."

"Still calling me auntie? What about it? Haven’t both families met already? Haven’t you fixed the wedding date yet? Look at how anxious the kids are. They aren’t getting any younger. We need to think about their physical well-being. Ruoan, I was talking with..."

"Enough, shut it. Where’s your car? Ranting and raving, there’s no end to it." Not even a minute into their pleasant reunion, and Su Ruoan was already fed up with Zhao Xinlan’s chatter.
