It was just a simple sentence, but it made Lu Qianqian smile foolishly at her phone the whole morning.
Then, she gave Mu Qiqi a call. “Hey, pregnant lady…”
“I’m doing an experiment here, what’s up?” Mu Qiqi said with her phone between her ear and shoulder.
“I’m getting engaged on July 5th. We agreed that once the date is set, I’ll inform you. Am I a loyal friend or what?”
Even through the phone, Mu Qiqi could imagine Lu Qianqian’s beaming face.
“Lu Qianqian, you’re really too excited. You need to buy a loudspeaker and shout around Jianchuan.” Mu Qiqi laughed at Lu Qianqian as she cleaned the blood stains on her hands.
“You’re not even giving me your blessings.”
“How can I not give you my blessings? Finally, the bittersweet moment is here, my CEO Lu.” Mu Qiqi shook her head helplessly. “Be good. Come to the Banyan Courtyard tonight. I’ll celebrate with you.”
“Forget it. I still have to work overtime.” Lu Qianqian hinted that she was busy.
“Alright, I got it. On July 5th, I’ll definitely bring my whole family over to witness your wedding day.”
“Great.”
After hanging up the phone, Mu Qiqi put down her phone with a helpless expression.
When the professor saw this, he could not help but laugh. “It’s the most wonderful thing for a good friend to be able to get happiness.”
“Yes.” Mu Qiqi put down the scalpel that had been cleaned, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved into a perfect smile.
Afternoon.
The old man and the others had just arrived in Luo Hai. However, after they got off the plane, Old Master Lin’s gaze followed Song Bozhi.
“What are you looking at?”
He shook his head. “Nothing. The old chief’s car is already waiting outside. Let’s be quick.”
“We haven’t seen each other for so many years. I wonder if he can still drink.” Old Master Shen’s expression could not hide his excitement.
Old Master Lin was about to reply when Mama Lu called.
After meeting last night, the two of them left each other’s contact details. It was to facilitate the confirmation of the engagement date. Old Master Lin did not expect it to be so soon.
Even so, he still picked up Mama Lu’s call.
Mama Lu told him about the confirmed engagement date. When Grandfather Lin heard it, he immediately frowned. “So soon?”
Mama Lu sensed the hesitation in his tone and asked carefully, “Do you think it’s soon?”
“Not really.” Grandfather Lin immediately realized that his tone was not right.
“There’s another date. It’s the end of July. However, the two children feel that it’s too long to wait.”
“Then let’s decide on this first,” Old Master Lin replied calmly. However, Mama Lu felt that his interest was waning.
“Alright, then I won’t disturb you anymore.” After saying that, Mama Lu hung up the phone.
However, after she put down the phone, she frowned. She had a feeling that Old Master Lin was going to go back on his word.
Therefore, she had to make arrangements earlier to prevent him from having other thoughts.
The reason why Old Master Lin hesitated was because he had doubts in his heart. He wanted to clarify this doubt first. Deep in his heart, of course, he trusted Lu Qianqian. After all, he had observed her for a long time. However, if Lu Qianqian really had a relationship with that man just now, wouldn’t she ruin his grandson’s life?
Hence, he had to be careful.
“Are you still daydreaming? Get in the car, Old Master Lin.” Not far away, Old Master Shen’s voice rang in Old Master Lin’s ears. Old Master Lin took a deep breath and finally turned to follow him…
Mama Lu had sensed Old Master Lin’s attitude, but she didn’t dare to tell Lu Qianqian because she knew how much her daughter liked Lin Mu’an. Both of them had been dreaming about this day, but now, Old Master Lin had suddenly planted a bomb. She didn’t know how things would turn out.
She did hope that she was overthinking things.
However, after her husband passed away, she had become much more sensitive. Old Master Lin’s reaction just now clearly showed that he wanted to treat the situation as if both parties hadn’t already had the proposal.
If she was overthinking things, then things were fine. But if she was right, what should she do?
Who should she go and discuss it with now?
Mu Qiqi never expected that Mama Lu would call her.
Mu Qiqi had just helped the professor assemble body parts. Before she had time to rest, she saw the caller ID on her phone and was surprised.
She washed her hands and answered the call. “Auntie, is there something wrong?”
“Qiqi, I want to see you. Are you free?”
“Auntie, I’m at the Jianchuan branch office now. Do you want me to come over tonight?” Mu Qiqi asked.
“No need. I don’t want Qianqian to know. I’ll come over to look for you later.”
“Sure.”
After ending the call, she could feel that something might have happened.
An hour later, Mama Lu appeared at the entrance of the branch office. Mu Qiqi took off her sterile clothes and brought Mama Lu into the police station’s lounge.
“Auntie, what’s wrong?”
Mama Lu smiled awkwardly and sat down in front of Mu Qiqi. However, after holding the teacup for a long while, she still didn’t know how to speak.
“Auntie, it’s alright. If there’s anything that’s inconvenient for you to tell Qianqian, you can tell me.”
“Thinking about it, I don’t know who to look for, nor do I know who to ask to make the decision for me. I thought that Qianqian only has you as a friend, so I could only come and look for you. I heard that you’re pregnant, but I haven’t been able to congratulate you yet.”
“Auntie, if you have something to say, just say it,” Mu Qiqi said to her seriously.
Mama Lu told Mu Qiqi everything that had happened in the past two days. She also focused on Grandfather Lin’s reaction when he picked up the phone today.
“The two children are too in love. I don’t know how to tell Qianqian, but I’m afraid that if something happens with Grandfather Lin, Qianqian won’t be able to accept it.”
After Mu Qiqi heard the whole story, she understood Mama Lu’s feelings.
“Am I being a little paranoid? Maybe his grandfather is just tired…”
“Auntie, since you’re here, it means that you know very well whether or not Grandfather Lin is tired. You came to me because you know about the relationship between the Shen family and the Lin family, so you want me to test Old Master Lin for you, am I right?”
Mu Qiqi was too smart. There was no way for Mama Lu to hide her intentions.
However, it was understandable that Mama Lu would do this.
A mother who wanted her daughter’s happiness could endure even the most difficult obstacle.
“Auntie, listen to me. If something really happened on Grandfather Lin’s side, he will definitely tell Lin Mu’an. I think he has already accepted it before, but he’s suddenly hesitated. There must be a reason. When he finds out, he will definitely know how kind Qianqian is. At the very least, with Lin Mu’an around, you have to believe in his feelings for Qianqian…”
“As a mother, there aren’t many things I can do for Qianqian… I only hope that she will get married happily.”
After hearing what Mama Lu said, Mu Qiqi knew that she couldn’t refuse the favor, so she said, “I understand. I will think of a way to figure out his intentions. Don’t worry, Auntie.”
