Chapter 161 Sending Lu Jiangting to Fang Qing

It would be strange if she could let go easily.

He didn't want to cause any more trouble. He figured he'd just get rid of his cousin's family after she gave birth next month and that would be the end of it. There was no need to create any unnecessary complications.

So he said to Pan Xiaohua, "Just tell her I didn't mean it that way, that it has nothing to do with whether I have a boyfriend or not, and tell her not to play matchmaker."

“This…” Pan Xiaohua glanced at the girl behind Fu Huaiyi, then nodded.

She wasn't stupid; after hearing what he said, she guessed that he probably didn't plan to announce their relationship for the time being.

"Okay, then I won't bother you any longer. I'll go down now."

Pan Xiaohua hurriedly went downstairs.

After closing the door, Lin Yuyao asked him, "Do you believe her?"

"Yes, my cousin just called me today to warn me to be careful of this mother and daughter. She's worried that I'll be tricked by them."

This is really...

"Then why are we letting them stay here?"

“My uncle was worried that my aunt and Wang would fight, so he arranged for them to live far away. This house is the farthest from their home.”

Fu Huaiyi asked her cautiously, "Is my trouble making you feel bad?"

"Huh?" Lin Yuyao shook her head and said, "No."

Fu Huaiyi said, "I was actually quite worried after receiving my cousin's call today. You see, Lu Jiangting and Fang Qing are having an ambiguous relationship, and you dumped him. I... I'm worried that my troubles will make you uncomfortable, so you dumped me too."

Lin Yuyao smiled. "This is different."

"Hmm, why is it different? Is it because you dreamt that he betrayed you?"

"No, everyone is an independent individual. You can't stop other people's thoughts, so it doesn't matter how many potential partners others introduce you to. What matters is how you think about it."

The conflict between me and Lu Jiangting isn't about how much trouble he has, but rather his lack of boundaries, his refusal to address those troubles, and his attempts to prevent me from doing so. Our biggest conflict is that he overstepped his boundaries.

Fu Huaiyi nodded. "I won't let you have any trouble. I'll handle any problems myself."

"Life is too long, and you can't control what you do tomorrow. You don't need to tell me that; I only believe what you say today."

Hearing her words, he felt both sad and heartbroken.

But it's not important.

Some vows need to be proven with actions over a lifetime, not just with words.

……

About a week later, the sample copy of the second volume arrived in Lin Yuyao's hands. She flipped through the sample copy while answering Song Qin's phone call.

"The first batch of complete editions will be released before the Lunar New Year, and the initial payment for your second volume will also be sent to you before the Lunar New Year."

"Sister Qin, thank you."

"Don't mention it. You're welcome. It's what you deserve."

"By the way, I remember you're from out of town. Are you going back to your hometown for the Chinese New Year?"

"Yes, I want to go home."

"So when are you coming home?"

Lin Yuyao thought for a moment and said, "I'll probably leave in early January."

Lin Ping was about to start his vacation around that time.

"Oh, that'll be soon. I was originally planning to hold a book signing for you when the whole book comes out, but since you're going home for the New Year, let's wait until after the New Year."

what?

"Do you want an autograph?" She's a bit socially awkward.

"No need. Readers have already shown great interest in your blurry cover photo. Let's keep them in suspense a bit longer. Show the text first, and we'll consider showing your face later."

Lin Yuyao immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Row."

It's the weekend again, and Lu Jiangting is here once more.

This time, he even brought a bouquet of flowers. What a nutcase.

Lu Jiangting handed over the flowers with a pained expression. "You always say I'm stingy. Look, I bought you flowers. You don't know how expensive flowers are this season. It's more cost-effective to buy fruit and cookies instead. I know buying flowers is a huge rip-off, but I also know you like them, so I bought them anyway."

Lin Yuyao looked at him as if he were a lunatic.

That's just the kind of person he is. Even if he compromises and makes concessions, he still has to say a few things to annoy you.

His family isn't well-off, and he's definitely not the type to waste money. When spending money, his first thought is always about cost-effectiveness, and he tries to save wherever possible.

For him to spend money on flowers during this season is truly a painful expense for him.

But it was clearly his own decision to cut the meat, so why does he have to say she was wasting it in a sarcastic way?

It's as if she forced him to buy it.

He's getting crazier and crazier.

"If you have this money, you might as well take it to the hospital to get your brain checked."

After saying that, she locked the bookstore door.

She was the last one to leave today; she locked the door and went home.

Fu Huaiyi wasn't around this week. Apparently, his cousin was about to give birth and had been taken to the hospital, so he went to help keep an eye on things.

There are still two weeks until the due date, and two weeks is not considered premature.

Lu Jiangting sighed helplessly, holding the flowers and following behind Lin Yuyao.

“Yuyao, I originally planned to go back to our hometown with you for the Spring Festival this year and hold the wedding first, but... sigh! It's my turn to work this year, and I can't ask for leave, not even a day. My wedding leave is wasted again, I... I'm really sorry.”

Lin Yuyao, who was walking ahead, was startled.

I wondered what this person was thinking?

She said such hurtful things, but he didn't listen to a word she said.

He actually thought he could marry her?

Lin Yuyao was speechless; she felt he really needed to have his head checked.

Lin Yuyao didn't go back to her own home, but instead took Lu Jiangting to Fang Qing's house.

Lu Jiangting remained immersed in his pain, rambling on and on.

He kept bringing up their past and apologizing to her until they had climbed two flights of stairs before he realized that this was the way to Fang Qing's house.

"Yuyao, where are you going?"

Lin Yuyao ignored him and continued climbing the stairs.

Once she reached Fang Qing's floor, she didn't hesitate and knocked on Fang Qing's door.

"Who is it?"

As she said this, Fang Qing didn't stop walking and quickly opened the door.

Today is Saturday, so Lu Jiangting is off work.

She had no friends here, so who else could knock on her door besides Lu Jiangting?

Hearing the door open, Lin Yuyao quickly hid to the side.

So, when Fang Qing opened the door, she saw Lu Jiangting coming up the stairs.

The bright red flowers immediately came into view.

"Wow, Jiang Ting, it's so beautiful! Is this a gift for me?"

Perhaps the flowers were too beautiful and attractive, because Fang Qing only had Lu Jiangting and the flowers in her eyes, and didn't even think that someone who had just come upstairs would knock on her door.

Lu Jiangting looked at Lin Yuyao, who was hiding by the door, with a look of astonishment on his face.

"No, Yuyao... I bought it for Yuyao."

Now they've finally opened their mouths to explain.

Lin Yuyao wanted to laugh.

Given Lu Jiangting's style of doing things, in the past he would definitely have gone along with Fang Qing's wishes and given her the things he bought for her, worried about hurting her self-esteem.

Then I pulled her aside and explained that she didn't have a husband and was therefore more sensitive.

I'll give it to her this time, and I'll make it up to you next time.
