Chapter 93: 078 Eight years ago that afternoon, didn’t you tell me you liked me? (2 updates)_1

After the two left, Wu Donglin was so angry that he pounded his chest and stamped his feet on the bed like a complete child, almost imitating a child’s tantrum.

He cursed Wu Jie as a useless little brat for letting such a good girl be snatched away right before his eyes by that Lu Han.

Soon, unable to find Lu Han anywhere, Ke Chenggong thought to come and see Wu Donglin. But Wu Donglin was inside, fuming and lecturing his grandson, so the butler came out and politely declined Ke Chenggong’s well-intentioned visit on behalf of Wu Donglin.

Wu Jie smiled, a tear welling up in the corner of his eye and dropping into his boxed meal in the palm of his hand.

He ignored his grandfather’s ranting, secure in the knowledge that Tang Su would be taken care of by Lu Han. Before leaving Hua City, all he needed to do was eliminate Ye Sichen as their obstacle once and for all.

He had a way to make Sichen too scared to speak out, and even less likely to trouble Tang Su and Lu Han. Then he could leave for Beijing with his grandfather without worries.

After that, he would be able to dutifully stay by his grandfather’s side with his whole heart.

Wouldn’t that be good?

The old man was just like a greedy snake that’s never satisfied.

No matter how much he scolded, Wu Jie remained unmoved.

Finally, Wu Donglin himself grew too tired to continue cursing. When he saw the butler come in, he stretched out his hand for the phone, "Give me the phone, call up Patriarch Bai. I need to give him a piece of my mind."

Butler: "..."

His master was becoming increasingly capricious and quirky, and Patriarch Bai probably didn’t even know that his grandson was already dating a girl.

Him making this call wouldn’t be about letting off steam, but more like giving a heads-up. It would be like bringing good news.

If the Bai and Lu Families were to join forces and the parents met and got along, it would mean more than just dating. They might even rush into marriage and start discussing the wedding arrangements.

By then, he hoped his master wouldn’t be so angry that it harmed him.

The butler, who was sharp and quick to react, refused to hand over the phone no matter what, and Wu Donglin, even more irritated that he couldn’t even get the butler to do a simple task, lost his temper even more.

"Chu Yang, you old coot, are you trying to be rebellious like this little rascal?" Wu Donglin huffed, no longer watching his words.

"Grandpa, don’t be angry at Mr. Chu. He’s your equal, used to be your right-hand man, and he has his own pension. He doesn’t have to stay by your side to be at your beck and call," Wu Jie couldn’t help but stand up for Chu Yang.

In a hurry, Chu Yang said, "No no no, Master Ajie, I am willing to be yelled at by the old master."

Wu Jie: "..."

Alright then, these two old men were cut from the same cloth, taking his goodwill for granted.

If they don’t want help, then don’t ask for it.

But there was still one problem. If Lu Han had successfully become close with Tang Su, why would his grandfather feel the need to call up Patriarch Bai?

What does that have to do with the Bai Family?

Although Wu Jie was from Beijing, he had never had much interest in the gossip of the Beijing circle.

At that time, his love was racing; he traveled all over the country, only focused on racing, and paid no attention to anything else, especially the affairs within the wealthy families.

Whether it was scandals or joyous occasions, he stayed out of it.

Therefore, he did not realize that Lu Han was Patriarch Bai’s grandson and the son of the formidable Patriarch of the Lu Family.

In the Lu Family, Lu Han’s seniority was high. Many who were much older than him had to address him as their younger uncle or brother-in-law, even though they had their own lofty statuses in the Beijing circle and were respected by others. Once back in the Lu Family, they had to show him due respect.

However, Lu Han was low-key. Just because he couldn’t avoid the flattery and agreement of others in the Beijing circle, that’s why he had left.

He preferred a free life without any constraints.

"Master, I have my reasons for not letting you make that call," Chu Yang said to Wu Donglin, blinking his eyes.

Wu Donglin, slightly calmer now but still not quite understanding the meaning behind Chu Yang’s blinking, had his own suspicions.

He couldn’t shake the feeling that something was amiss.

Seeing that Wu Jie had finished his meal, an irate Wu Donglin shooed him away, "Aren’t you supposed to go back to the coffee shop to work? Get going and don’t irritate me by staying here."

Wu Jie said nothing, packed up the leftover boxed meals in the room, and left.

"This kid, he only knows how to lose his temper in front of me. If he has the guts, he should snatch Tang Su back from Lu Han’s hands for me," Wu Donglin fumed.

He was furious for having missed out on such an endearing young girl, who was taken by Lu Han, with his grandson indifferent and unresponsive. Didn’t he know to fight for her?

What if Tang Su found Lu Han unsuitable?

It was enough to drive him mad.

Then Wu Donglin turned to Chu Yang, "It’s all because of that Young Master Bai’s doing. Why won’t you let me call him and give him an earful? It’s enough that he had such a beautiful daughter, but why did he have to make his grandson so handsome too?"

His grandson wasn’t as good-looking as Lu Han, and what a loss that was!

"Master, when you say these things, you’re not scolding but praising their good genes. Patriarch Bai will only be happy and not upset. Besides, you bringing this up is like sharing good news with the Bai Family. When they’re happy about it, you’ll be the one who ends up annoyed," Chu Yang explained the situation.

Wu Donglin suddenly realized, "Yeah, that’s true. That makes sense."

"They’re just dating, not getting married. Dating means there’s a chance they might break up. If they do, Wu Jie still has a chance, hahaha..."

"Chu Yang, your brain is more useful, I’ll give you a raise when we get back, hahaha..."

Chu Yang: "..."

Chu Yang also felt helpless. Doctor Lu had only just started dating Miss Tang, and his master was already praying for them to break up.

Ah——

Amitabha!

He didn’t mean for it to happen.

**

Meanwhile, Tang Su’s hand was held by Lu Han the whole time. As soon as they entered the elevator, she felt her palm was moist with sweat.

She wasn’t nervous, just a bit excited. Her heart was pounding away at her chest with no sign of slowing down after all this time.

Tang Su felt quite useless.

The sweat from her palm made Lu Han’s hand wet, which Tang Su found really embarrassing. Her fingers moved slightly, and sensing this, Lu Han also loosened his grip, "Sorry, it’s my first time holding a girl’s hand. Is it too tight?"

Tang Su shook her head, her cheeks flushing even redder, her heart beating even faster.

She didn’t know if what Lu Han said was true, but just hearing him say that it was his first time holding a girl’s hand made her feel incredibly honored.

On the other hand, although all her other firsts were still intact, she had held hands with Ye Sichen before.

No, that’s not right. Didn’t Lu Han go to kindergarten?

In kindergarten, didn’t boys and girls hold hands together?

"Lu Han." Tang Su called out his name instinctively, not needing him to teach her how to say it.

In the empty elevator, with only the two of them, that call of "Lu Han" was so loud that, as it echoed back, making her ears tremble slightly, she heard a low chuckle from Lu Han.

"Hmm? What is it? Do you want to say something?" Lu Han asked gently.

"When you were in kindergarten, didn’t you ever hold a little girl’s hand?" When in doubt, she had to ask. If she didn’t ask, a small issue could turn into a big one.

Tang Su adhered to this principle. Ever since she was young, that’s how the parent-child relationship in her family worked. If she had any questions, she asked on the spot. If she didn’t, her parents would assume she had no doubts.

If something wasn’t done right, she was expected to give a perfect explanation that could convince them.

So, Tang Su asked.

"Kindergarten? Yes, I went. But at that age when I didn’t know better, I don’t remember whom I held hands with. It was arranged by the teacher." Lu Han continued to laugh.

The unpleasantness Ke Chenggong and his lackeys had caused him dissipated in Tang Su’s presence.

This girl was truly adorable.

"Yeah, me too," Tang Su said.

The two of them tacitly avoided bringing up anything related to Ye Sichen.

The elevator went directly to the underground parking lot, and with a ding, the doors opened. In the dimly lit basement, thinking that no one would see, Tang Su, reluctant to let go, tightened her grip on Lu Han’s hand and tenderly drew circles on his palm.

Her delicate, soft fingers were so audacious in the palm of Lu Han’s hand and caused havoc in his chest. After holding back for a while, he tightly gripped her mischievous fingers.

What is this girl trying to do?

His self-control wasn’t as good as she imagined.

"What would you like to eat for lunch? How about we go to the tavern for something simple? We have the afternoon free, so we could make an appointment," Lu Han asked seriously.

"Okay," Tang Su nodded in agreement to Lu Han’s suggestion to eat at the tavern. The owners were Lu Han’s friends and were quite shrewd.

After getting into the car, Tang Su stared intently at Lu Han, not daring to blink, afraid that if she did, he would disappear, and when she came back to her senses, she’d have to go back to calling him Doctor Lu.

"Lu Han, I’m not dreaming, am I?"

"Hmm? It shouldn’t be a dream. If it were, wouldn’t you have already taken liberties with me?" Lu Han pulled Tang Su’s hand closer, and leaned in to let her touch his face.

Such a burning temperature couldn’t be something felt in a dream.

Her palm burned at the touch, and she instinctively pulled back. She knew this wasn’t a dream; it was all really happening. Lu Han had said they would go on a date that afternoon.

That meant he was her boyfriend now.

Now that the long-anticipated event had finally happened, Tang Su felt quite anxious. She didn’t know if other girls would feel the same way.

It seemed a bit pathetic.

Yet at that moment, she felt so elated. She wanted to cheer, to shout, to say thank you to the heavens, thank you to Lu Han.

But she dared not, afraid that her frantic reaction might scare Lu Han away.

"But, Lu Han, I haven’t even had the chance to confess to you, how could you..." Tang Su finally voiced her thoughts.

"Eight years ago, on that afternoon, didn’t you tell me you liked me through someone else’s words?"

"..."
