Chapter 50

The train arrived in the capital at 7:20 pm.

Lu Ziqian stood at the station exit, his usually gentle and refined face filled with nervousness and eagerness.

He asked Zhou Yiran beside him, “How do I look? Am I okay? Will my daughter be disappointed in me?”

Zhou Yiran was Ji Mingjing’s aunt.

Her beautiful face was filled with helplessness.

“You’ve asked this question eight times already! You look great, flawlessly put together! Truly impeccable!”

Zhou Yiran had been by Lu Ziqian’s side for over a decade.

This was the first time she had seen him so flustered.

It was clear he truly loved his daughter.

The train station was packed with people as soon as the train arrived.

Thankfully, Ji Mingjing was tall and strong. He carried Xiaobao, Xiaobao held Lu Yunxiang’s hand, and Xiao Zhang and Xiao He cleared a path for them.

As soon as they exited the station, Lu Yunxiang saw a man dressed neatly, wearing glasses, looking scholarly and refined, holding a sign high in his hand.

Beloved Daughter Xiangxiang!

Tears welled up in Lu Yunxiang’s eyes.

The longing of two lifetimes!

She rushed towards him, her whole body trembling with excitement.

“Dad!”

From the moment Lu Yunxiang appeared, Lu Ziqian’s eyes locked onto her.

His sixth sense told him this was his daughter.

But Lu Yunxiang was so beautiful he couldn’t believe it.

Only when Lu Yunxiang stood before him, her eyes wet with tears as she called him “Dad,” did he snap out of his shock.

His nose twitched.

“Xiangxiang!”

The next second, Lu Yunxiang threw her arms around his waist and buried her face in his chest.

“Dad, I missed you so much.”

Lu Ziqian stood there with his hands outstretched, unsure what to do.

He hadn’t seen Lu Yunxiang in years and years.

Those years were a blank slate between them.

He didn’t know how to interact with Lu Yunxiang.

He was afraid she would feel uncomfortable.

But when Lu Yunxiang hugged him, feeling the warmth of his daughter, he suddenly felt at peace.

This was his daughter, his blood, his flesh and bone!

He placed his hand on Lu Yunxiang’s back and gently patted it, soothing her like he used to when she was a child.

“Good girl… Dad missed you too. Dad… missed you so much!”

Lu Ziqian’s voice cracked with emotion.

Lu Ziqian’s marriage to Chen Chunping was born out of her scheming, they were never from the same world, and their eventual separation was inevitable.

But Lu Yunxiang was Lu Ziqian’s daughter. Her birth had once filled the scientific genius Lu Ziqian with happiness.

Back then, whenever he came home, he would hold Lu Yunxiang and refuse to let her go.

She was his precious jewel!

Zhou Yiran, a woman of deep emotions, also had tears in her eyes.

Ji Mingjing walked over carrying Xiaobao.

“Aunt.”

Zhou Yiran looked at Ji Mingjing holding a strange child, surprised.

“This…”

“It’s a long story.”

Zhou Yiran nodded. “Are you alright?”

Ji Mingjing nodded.

“I’m fine, perfectly fine.”

His gaze fell softly on Lu Yunxiang.

After Lu Yunxiang accepted his confession, it was as if a veil of confusion had been lifted.

He recognized Lu Yunxiang as the girl who had saved him in the alley that day.

Ji Mingjing, though young, was the youngest commander. It wasn’t just his skills, but also his sharp mind.

He instantly remembered how Lu Yunxiang had been stabbed by a dagger but remained unharmed.

He also remembered how unusually fast his body had recovered this time.

It seemed like Lu Yunxiang had been involved in all of it.

Therefore… Lu Yunxiang had a shocking secret.

He chose to keep his mouth shut.

As long as she didn’t say anything, he would pretend not to know.

He would bury it in his heart.

Zhou Yiran was a sensitive person. She noticed that her nephew’s gaze towards Lu Yunxiang was not right.

She widened her eyes in surprise.

“You… you…”

A smile couldn’t help but appear on Ji Mingjing’s handsome face.

He nodded to her.

Zhou Yiran’s face was full of joy!

“That’s great!”

It was truly great!

As Ji Mingjing guessed, Zhou Yiran had already started looking for reliable young men around her when Lu Yunxiang was on her way.

She had to keep Lu Yunxiang.

The reliable young men in her mind were in rows, but they didn’t include Ji Mingjing.

Because Ji Mingjing was an unyielding, stubborn man!

Whenever anyone mentioned finding a partner for him, he would immediately leave, not giving anyone any face.

His family often scolded him for being an unfilial son because of his attitude!

Now it was good!

Two worries were solved at once!

She wanted to set off fireworks to celebrate!

Zhou Yiran tugged at Lu Ziqian’s sleeve.

“Xiangxiang is already here. There will be plenty of opportunities for them to get to know each other later. It’s getting late now, quickly take Xiangxiang back to rest.”

Lu Ziqian finally realized that they were still at the station!

“Right right right, go back to rest first. The place to stay has already been prepared, Dad will take you to see it.”

“Okay.”

Lu Yunxiang replied obediently.

Then she smiled at Zhou Yiran beside her.

When she saw Zhou Yiran’s face, she was stunned.

She wasn’t unfamiliar with Zhou Yiran.

In her previous life, she would see Zhou Yiran visiting her father’s grave on his death anniversary.

Zhou Yiran would often spend the whole day at her father’s grave.

She vaguely knew about Zhou Yiran’s feelings for her father in her previous life.

But she didn’t know what her father thought.

So she never asked.

When they met, they would just nod at each other.

There was no communication.

However, Zhou Yiran in her previous life always had a frown of sadness, and her whole being was immersed in darkness.

Now she was bright and cheerful, confident and generous.

Was she so depressed because of her father’s death?

She hoped that this time, she and Lu Ziqian could have a good outcome.

Lu Yunxiang was about to leave with Lu Ziqian when suddenly her arm was grabbed.

She turned around in surprise and saw Ji Mingjing’s resentful face.

Ah!

She had forgotten her man when she saw her dad!

She gave an awkward smile and quickly pulled Lu Ziqian’s hand, pulling Ji Mingjing in front of Lu Ziqian.

“Dad, it was thanks to Brother Ji’s care all the way here.”

Lu Ziqian also saw that his daughter had ignored everyone else.

He quickly thanked Ji Mingjing.

“Mingjing, thank you for taking care of Xiangxiang all the way here. Uncle will treat you to dinner another day, don’t refuse.”

Ji Mingjing quickly stated, “You’re welcome, Uncle. There’s no need for you to treat me to dinner, I’ll take care of it.”

After all, he was going to marry Lu Yunxiang, and he needed to get his father-in-law’s approval!

Ji Mingjing secretly rubbed Lu Yunxiang’s back twice.

Two bright words were written on his handsome face!

Status!

He wanted status!

Lu Yunxiang chuckled.

She directly intertwined her fingers with Ji Mingjing’s, and smiled sweetly.

“Dad, Brother Ji and I are dating.”

Then…

Lu Ziqian’s face turned black!
