If love can be booked

Chapter 32 Lu Jinchuan's celibacy, rejecting ambiguity

"Flower Season for You" Theme Restaurant

On Friday night, the restaurant was crowded and lively. At the main table, six people sat, one of the chairs was empty, and it seemed like a family dinner. They were talking happily, and I don’t know what interesting topic they were talking about, but a little girl buried her head deep in her mother’s arms, as if she was acting coquettishly, or as if she was too shy to raise her head.

"Mom, look, Sister Zhou is making fun of me again." Lu Wan said softly, with a blush on her face. She really looks like a cute porcelain doll, especially with her curly hair and fair face, which often makes people mistake her for a foreign girl.

"How could that be? You are my aunt's most beloved little princess." Sister Zhou replied with a smile. Princess? That's right, Lu Wan is not only the little princess of the family, but also his little princess. He has always loved her very much.

At this time, someone mentioned: "Jingjing, you haven't come to our house for a long time. Is it because of something going on between you and Ah Hao..." At this point, everyone suddenly realized that Lu Jinchuan hadn't been home for a long time. I don't know what he has been busy with recently.

"No, I've been too busy lately. I'll definitely visit him when I'm free." Jingjing explained quickly. In fact, it wasn't because she was too busy with work, but because she felt that she was getting farther and farther away from him. She had almost no chance to see him recently.

It is said that he would appear beside her almost every day, and sometimes even linger downstairs of her house.

Qin Yunyi looked at the clock on the wall and murmured to herself, "Why hasn't this child come yet?" It was already seven o'clock, but Lu Jinchuan was still nowhere to be seen. Qin Yunyi couldn't help but start blaming her son.

"Maybe there was a traffic jam on the way?" Li Lianyu hurried out to smooth things over. In fact, she was not very satisfied with her son-in-law, especially his cold and distant attitude. But who made her daughter like him?

"Yes, the traffic situation in T City has always been bad. I was stuck in traffic for more than 20 minutes last time." Qin Yunyi consoled herself, but she couldn't help wondering in her heart: Is it really because of the traffic jam? Or did he not want to come to this party at all?

"It's time to get here even if the traffic is jammed." Lu Jianlin was a little embarrassed. After waiting for so long, if Lu Jinchuan didn't come, it would be really embarrassing for him.

"Uncle, don't worry, Jinchuan promised me that he would come." Zhou Jingjing said in a coquettish voice. She had long nails painted with bright red nail polish and wore a luxurious evening dress, which was the most popular red style this year.

"You see, if you mention the devil, he will appear." Zhou Guangxiong, Zhou Jingjing's father, is also an old friend of her father. Over the years, the two families have been very close. Perhaps because they are in a foreign land, he respects Zhou Guangxiong very much and feels very close to him.

"Oh, my dear son, come here, sit down." I don't know if it's because I haven't seen him for a long time, but there is undisguised excitement in the mother's tone.

"Brother." Lu Wan was the happiest person to see Lu Jinchuan. She didn't just admire Lu Jinchuan, but deep down she actually relied on him. Occasionally she would act like a spoiled child in front of him.

"Wan'er is here too." Lu Jinchuan smiled and pulled out a chair, sitting down next to Lu Wan. Looking at the graceful young lady in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh that time flies.

"Brother, what do you think of my new hairstyle? Does it look good?" Lu Wan asked Lu Jinchuan expectantly about her new hairstyle. She had recently changed her hairstyle to a new one, with her hair just reaching her shoulders, curled into fluffy curls, and dyed flax color.

"Pretty, mom, what do you think?" He gently brushed the hair by her ear to one side. The little girl who always followed him has grown up. She is still the little girl who played with her, made trouble with her, went crazy with her, and took the blame for her.

"I don't care about her. She's a typical example of acting first and asking for permission later." The mother complained. The child is grown up and no longer needs to do everything for her.

"Uncle Zhou, how are you lately? You look in good spirits." As far as I can remember, Uncle Zhou and his family have been enjoying their later years in the United States. Why did he suddenly say he was back?

Turning his head, his eyes slowly moved towards her. The first thing that caught his eye was the blood-red nails, which seemed to express a certain arrogance and unruliness. Looking down, she was wearing a fiery red evening dress, as dazzling as a burning flame. However, for some reason, this dress, which should have been extremely beautiful, looked particularly strange on her, as if it had lost its proper charm and harmony.

"No, I'm old, not like you young people?" Uncle Zhou replied with a smile. Although he looked healthy, he had been suffering from arthritis for a long time.

"Auntie Zhou, a small gift." A gift box was handed to her, containing a small gift.

"Look, you are still so polite. You can come to my house more often when you have time." Aunt Zhou took the gift box, opened it and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. It turned out that the gift box contained a bracelet from Lao Feng Xiang, inlaid with dazzling emeralds, and its value was self-evident.

"Yes, the company has been a bit busy lately and I really can't spare much time." He thought to himself: In fact, no matter how busy the company is, it can't compare to the panic brought by seeing Shen Wanning's desperate eyes.

"Jinchuan, don't just focus on your work. When you have time, spend more time with Jingjing." Aunt Zhou said earnestly. She knew that young people should focus on their careers, but she also hoped that he could give Jingjing more care and companionship when he was busy. After all, love requires joint efforts and care from both sides.

"This child is not often around me. You have to take care of her." Li Lianyu said with emotion. He and Jingjing are one quiet and one active. If they can hold hands, it is also a kind of fate.

"Mom, why are you saying this?" Zhou Jingjing pretended to be shy, as if she knew nothing about what happened between us. But in fact, she was the one who planned and directed this drama. She cleverly used various means to try to create a sweet and warm atmosphere, so that everyone would think that we were a happy couple.

"What's there to be embarrassed about? We'll be a family from now on, right, Old Lu?" This child has been spoiled by him since he was a child, but he really likes Jinchuan.

"Yeah, we watched Jingjing grow up together." Lu Jianlin echoed, but he really didn't want to interfere too much in his son's emotional issues.

Because of his persistence, he once lost a childhood playmate. Since then, he rarely smiles and rarely expresses emotions. He must still blame him, right?

"I think you misunderstood. I have no plans to get married for the time being." Lu Jinchuan interrupted their conversation without hesitation. He had never given her any promises or fantasies, right? Why did everyone think they should be together?

"Jinchuan, you..." He actually had no intention of getting married? Lu Jianlin was shocked, obviously unable to accept this fact.

"What did you say? What are you dissatisfied with about our Jingjing?" Li Lianyu rushed back from the United States, intending to discuss the marriage of her two children. However, she heard such news. How could she accept it? She raised her voice and asked, "After all these years of getting along with each other, don't you have any feelings for our Jingjing at all?

"I have always treated Jingjing as my own sister, and taking care of her is what I should do. If there is any misunderstanding because of this, I am really sorry. My heart can only hold one person." His tone was firm and persistent, indicating that no matter in the past or in the future. What's more, she is back and by his side, and he will not miss her.

"Jinchuan, she's gone. You can't just stay with her forever?" Qin Yunyi shook her head helplessly. She knew her son too well. No one knows a son better than his mother. Over the years, the relationship between her son and Lao Lu has always been delicate. How could she not know the reason? She knew that her son's obsession was too deep and it would be difficult to change it in a short time.

"Am I nothing in your heart?" Tears welled up in Zhou Jingjing's eyes, and her voice trembled slightly. Just a sister? She was unwilling to accept it.

"Jinchuan, I have tried so hard to get close to you and understand you, but why do you never look at me? Could it be that the person you like is Shen Wanning?" She really couldn't figure out why she was inferior to the person who had left long ago? Now, Shen Wanning appeared out of nowhere?

"I'm sorry." Lu Jinchuan's heart sank, and he stood up and left. It turned out that they were discussing the wedding date.

"Jinchuan, Jinchuan..." Are all the recent rumors in the company true?

Shen Wanning? Shen Wanning? If you dare to covet my man, don't blame me for being rude to you.

"Brother..." This time, I felt that my brother was a little different. But what was different? Was it the gentleness that was hidden in his eyes?

After leaving the restaurant, he didn't know where to go. He didn't want to go home because she wasn't there. He tried to stop himself from thinking about her, but his thoughts drifted away. At this moment, she might be enjoying a romantic date with another person, and he could only silently bear the pain and loss.

Wan Ning, I finally waited until you grew up, and you forgot my existence.

In my mind, you keep coming back to me. Every little bit of our time together keeps coming to my mind, and those beautiful memories keep playing in front of my eyes like a movie.

It's not that I don't blame you, it's not that I don't miss you, it's just that there is too much helplessness and bitterness in my heart. I can snatch you back at all costs, but how can I bear to see your sad eyes?

The beach in City Z, where we have our shared memories. We once chased and played there, leaving behind a trail of footprints of varying depths; we once shared each other's joys and sorrows there, feeling the breeze and warmth of the sun; we also once experienced separation there, with tears soaking each other's clothes. When will I go to the beach again to look for those memories buried deep in time?

"Brother Jinchuan, you think it's beautiful, right?" She looked up and happily handed the hairpin to him. The sunlight fell on the hairpin, shining with a charming light, as if it was integrated with the bright smile on her face.

"Brother Jinchuan, I like you so much." The words "I like you so much" were like a key that opened the door to the long-forgotten memories deep in his heart. Yes, he also remembered the love he once had, that pure and beautiful feeling.

"Then you will be my little bride, okay?" The childhood pictures flashed in my mind like beautiful paintings. They were so clear, every detail was vivid, and the clearer they were, the more intoxicated they were. These memories were like a jar of aged wine, becoming more mellow and refreshing as time went by.

Fourteen years have passed, and I have met countless people on my life journey. Some have left in a hurry, and some have tried to stay but have never been able to take root in my heart. However, Wan Ning is that unique existence, and her figure is like a deep imprint in the depths of my soul, which is indelible.

I have tried to forget the past and start over, but every time when the night is quiet, those beautiful moments will involuntarily come to my mind. Perhaps, some things are destined to be unforgettable, they have become a part of life and will always accompany me.

Only Shen Wanning, when I first met her, I felt an indescribable sense of familiarity in my heart, as if they had known each other for a long time. This feeling attracted me like a magnet, making me want to get closer. Her sad eyes pierced my body like thorns. She was in pain, and I was in even more pain. I wished I could bring the most beautiful things in the world to her, just to get a hint of her happy smile.

It turns out that I was lucky that I didn't lose her, but she forgot everything we had. She was so cruel that she forgot everything about us and appeared in my life again with her boyfriend. Was she trying to punish me for leaving her?

Shen Wanning, are you immersed in happiness at this moment? You no longer see me in your eyes, and only have him in your heart. And I can only watch you silently, feeling sad.

Although my heart was full of contradictions and struggles, I still turned the steering wheel uncontrollably. I can walk towards you regardless of everything, but what about you? Can you be as steadfast as me?

The lamp that always emits warm light is now closed and lifeless, as if it has fallen asleep under a spell. It is already late, and the night is so deep that it makes people feel a little depressed. And where is she, the person I have been thinking about? I can't help but feel confused and worried. Is she sleeping peacefully? Or is she busy in someone's arms? Or has she encountered an accident? Countless thoughts flashed through my mind, making me more and more anxious. I tried to call her, but the only response I got was a cold busy tone. At this moment, I really felt the loneliness and uneasiness when she was not around.
