3 Shaking His Hand, It Was Like A Scorching Fire

After Lu Shiyuan finished speaking, Ding Jiaqi's face turned completely pale. However, Wei Yu'an was anxious and said that he would bring her for a checkup immediately.

"I-I'll go to the bathroom first." Ding Jiaqi's voice was trembling.

She did not dare to stay any longer, afraid that if this man spoke again, she would be exposed.

In a panic, she ignored Wei Yu'an's request to accompany her and pushed the door open.

Lu Ruiqin scoffed.

She was too scheming and couldn't hide things, she really couldn't handle the situation.

"Jiaqi." Wei Yu'an thought that she was frightened by Lu Shiyuan's words and hurriedly got up to chase after her.

"Yu'an, stop right there." Lu Ruiqin said anxiously.

"Mom, I'm worried about her. I'll go take a look…"

"What's there to see? Didn't you hear your uncle say that she's crazy?"

"That's why I should go and see her at this time."

Everyone was speechless.

Su Xianyi lowered her head.

Wei Yu'an was also mentally ill.

Despite her mother's resistance, he still insisted on chasing after her. Lu Ruiqin was furious. She was worried that Ding Jiaqi would pretend to be weak, cry, and faint again, so she hurriedly chased after her.

Su Xianyi and Lu Shiyuan were suddenly left alone in the private room.

Su Xianyi lowered her head and ate the cake, but she kept secretly sizing up the person beside her from the corner of her eye. Lu Shiyuan was reaching out to pour tea for her.

His hand was very good-looking. His joints were slender and prominent. The bones on the back of his hand were well-proportioned and beautiful.

As expected, he was the person she had liked before…

He looked good everywhere.

Su Xianyi was stunned. Suddenly, she heard someone say, "Do you want some tea?"

There were only the two of them in the room, so this question was naturally directed at her. Su Xianyi's heart tightened. For some reason, her hand trembled, and her elbow knocked over the two-pronged fork placed on the side. The fork slipped from the side of the table…

Su Xianyi instinctively reached out to grab it, but the person beside her grabbed the handle of the fork faster than her.

As for her…

She grabbed his hand.

Her breathing suddenly stopped. His hand was warm and it burned her palm.

It was like an open fire that could burn through her palm.

In an instant, she felt as if there was an electric current that carried the attention on the back of his hand to her limbs and bones. Every cell in her body was screaming.

Unexpectedly, her heart trembled violently.

The next second, she retracted her hand abruptly. "S-Sorry."

"It's ok." Lu Shiyuan put the fork back in its original position and pushed it in.

At that time, there were many people who liked Lu Shiyuan. Every day, there were many people who tried to attract his attention in various ways. However, she had only spoken a few words to him. She did not even dare to say that she liked him before running away.

If she were to reminisce about the past with him and he didn't remember her at all, it would be even more awkward.

Su Xianyi pursed her lips, gripped her fork, and fiddled with the cake on the plate.

Lu Shiyuan drank his tea and glanced at her.

This cake must have done something wrong in her previous life, which was why it was ruined by her in this life and riddled with holes.

Su Xianyi felt uncomfortable after touching the back of his hand. She stood up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom…"

She immediately fled!

She felt that she was quite cowardly.

But in front of the person they liked, who wasn't humble and cowardly?

Su Xianyi had always thought that she would definitely be able to smile and greet him if she met him again in the past few years. Didn't those inspirational things say that time was the best medicine to heal love?

Now it seemed like…

It was all bullshit!

When she saw Lu Shiyuan now, her heart would still flutter uncontrollably!

**

In the end, Lu Ruiqin could not stop her son. When she returned to the private room and saw that Lu Shiyuan was alone, she frowned slightly.

"She went to the washroom."

Lu Ruiqin nodded and fell back into her chair dejectedly. "You've seen it for yourself today. That woman is really not ordinary. It's as if Yu'an has been brainwashed by her. He won't listen to anything I say. We could have had a good meal today, but he still brought her here. Isn't this deliberately making things difficult for Yiyi?"

"She didn't end up well today." Lu Shiyuan drank his tea.

Lu Ruiqin remembered this and smiled. "It's all thanks to you. Yiyi is quite pitiful…"

"After her parents divorced, her father had already married another woman. Now, he has a pair of children. She will definitely be embarrassed when she goes back. I heard that her mother is also remarrying."

"I have a good relationship with her mother, so I want to take more care of her…"

Lu Shiyuan's expression was firm. "So you want to match-make for her and Yu'an?"

Lu Ruiqin naturally had her own selfish motives. She wanted to rely on Su Xianyi to pull her son back, but she was too embarrassed to say such a reason. She only smiled and said,

"Yes, I invited you here because I wanted you to help me see how she is. After all, you have good taste and you never make a mistake in judging people."

"It's understandable that you sympathize with her and want to take care of her, but you shouldn't use such a method. Besides, Yu'an's heart isn't with her. If they force themselves to be together, no one will be happy."

Lu Ruiqin smiled and said helplessly, "If that woman wasn't here, she and Yu'an would be quite compatible…"

"It's not suitable."

"Hmm?"

Lu Ruiqin didn't expect him to say that. She was stunned and thought she was hearing things.

"I said, they are not suitable."

Lu Ruiqin's expression stiffened. Her son had indeed gone overboard after what had happened just now. She could not refute him and could only sigh silently in her heart. If Xianyi and Yu'an could not be together, she really did not know who would benefit.

Moreover, she was clearly quite compatible with her son.

"By the way, how long are you going to stay in Kingstown? When are you going back to Beijing?" Lu Ruiqin treated him with humility and ingratiation. She didn't seem like someone of the same generation.

"It depends on the hospital's arrangements."

Lu Shiyuan's tone had always been very calm, giving off a sense of alienation.

"I asked someone to buy something a few days ago. If you go back, help me bring it to the old master. It's not anything valuable. It's just a little token of my appreciation..."

Lu Ruiqin didn't expect him to come back today.

Occasionally, they would meet and talk, and it seemed very easy to get close to him. However, she knew that her son had taken advantage of him by calling him uncle. He had agreed, but he was just being polite.

She and the Wei family…

She might not be worthy of his attention.

Lu Shiyuan drank his tea. He seemed to agree, but he also seemed to not agree.

**

After Su Xianyi came back from the bathroom, she chatted with Lu Ruiqin for a while in the private room.

Lu Shiyuan did not speak the entire time, but he did not leave either. He was like a great Buddha, sitting still, making Su Xianyi panic.

Just as she was preparing an excuse to leave, Lu Ruiqin's phone rang. "Hello… What did you say? These media outlets are simply spouting nonsense. They dare to write nonsense about any news…"

Her tone was very urgent, and she even raised her voice a few degrees.

Su Xianyi and Lu Shiyuan looked over at the same time. She probably felt that she had lost her composure and ran outside the private room to answer the phone.

When she came back, she was in a hurry. "Yiyi, I'm sorry. I have to deal with something and can't send you home. I'll get the driver to send you home."

"It's okay. If you have something to do, go ahead. I've moved out now and won't be going home."

"It's mainly because I have something urgent on hand and can't send you off…" Lu Ruiqin looked at Lu Shiyuan with a troubled expression, but she still said, "Shiyuan, why don't you help send Yiyi off?"

"Auntie, it's okay. I can take a taxi myself. I really don't need it," Su Xianyi said with all her might.

Her resistance made Lu Ruiqin think that she was too sensible and didn't want to trouble others.

Actually, Lu Ruiqin did not dare to trouble Lu Shiyuan, so she tried to ask.

She already felt bad about what happened today. If she asked the chauffeur to send her off again, she would feel that it was too perfunctory. "Yiyi, don't treat yourself as an outsider. You don't have to be polite to me."

"I really didn't stand on ceremony. I just didn't want to trouble Uncle."

I'm an outsider to begin with. I don't want to get involved in any of your family's matters!

Let me treat myself as an outsider.

Su Xianyi was resisting with all her might.

Lu Shiyuan looked at her and raised his hand to push his glasses up the bridge of his nose. "It's not troublesome at all!"

Su Xianyi was speechless.

But I find it troublesome!

Because of you, I'm not normal anymore. I think you're going to be so troublesome!
