Although Lu Garden and the Presidential Mansion are huge, it’s impossible to wander for three hours; during this ti, they also went for a half-hour boat ride on the small lake, and finally spent an hour watching pigs in Yan Yuexian’s pigsty.
It was only dragged out until six o’clock.
Xia Weibao felt that if Pei Yongming didn’t have another motive, she’d take her head off and kick it like a ball!
Until six o’clock, when Zhong Wanshu got off work and ca back, she finally knew what Pei Yongming’s real purpose for coming to Lu Garden was.
When Zhong Wanshu returned, Xia Weibao was sitting in the living room chatting with Pei Yongming.
Pei Yongming seed distracted, with his legs tightly together, his hands half-clenched into fists, placed properly on his knees, occasionally glancing towards the door.
He was very nervous and waiting for soone.
This was the result of Xia Weibao’s observation.
As soon as Zhong Wanshu stepped into the living room, Pei Yongming’s body froze, his facial expression first stunned, then a flash of panic.
Then, he stood still.
His gaze was so complex that Xia Weibao couldn’t understand it.
She looked at Zhong Wanshu with so confusion, only to see Zhong Wanshu was just as flustered as Pei Yongming, then it turned to complexity.
And her eyes were slightly red.
The two seed to have a thousand words, but all left unsaid.
Although Xia Weibao was curious about the relationship between the two, she sensibly got up and left, giving them space.
She slipped out the front door, sneaked under the window, and stuck her head in to peek inside.
Just as Lu Huashan and Yan Yuexian returned and saw her sneaky behavior, they also ca over to join in the peeking.
"What’s the situation, who is that man?" Lu Huashan lowered her voice.
Is he her mother’s friend? How co she’s never seen him?
Yan Yuexian said, "I know him, he’s the president of our National Studies Association, also the director of the National Education Bureau, and a mber of Congress, a very powerful man. My brother seems to want to rope him in."
"He knows my mom?" Lu Huashan was puzzled.
Yan Yuexian shook her head.
Xia Weibao spread her hands, "I don’t know either. Today the president suddenly wanted to co ho with to fetch a poster, then wandered around our house for over an hour, spent ten minutes looking at durians, half an hour on the lake, and finally spent an hour watching pigs."
Yan Yuexian, "..."
Lu Huashan, "..."
This person sure has a lot of free ti.
Inside the living room, Zhong Wanshu and Pei Yongming sat facing each other, Zhong Wanshu making tea.
Her manner was elegant, dignified, and proper.
Xia Weibao sighed, "Mom is so gentle, truly a noble lady, just like ."
Yan Yuexian and Lu Huashan raised both hands and feet in agreent, "That’s right, you are a lady too!"
This blind admiration is quite severe.
Pei Yongming watched Zhong Wanshu make tea, his gaze deep, as if reminiscing.
"Long ti no see."
Zhong Wanshu paused her tea-making, her head slightly lowered, "Long ti no see."
"I thought you...were gone back then. It’s nice to see you again."
Zhong Wanshu’s nose tingled, almost bringing her to tears.
If you thought I was dead, why didn’t you get married?
I’ve already married soone, why did you keep waiting?
Even if she wasn’t dead, she was soone else’s wife. Waiting a lifeti, you’d never wait, so why wait!
Crystal tears fell onto the tea, creating quite a splash.
She didn’t dare to lift her head, "Yes, I didn’t think, there’d be a day we’d reunite, are you... doing well?"
"Pretty good, life is very peaceful." Pei Yongming choked slightly.
Looking at her profile, filled with deep affection.
She hasn’t changed, still looking youthful and intellectual.
But he’s aged.
