Chapter 22: Mom, Bring Her Home

After finishing everything, it was already lunchtime.

Lu Yunzheng took Luo Qianyun to a newly opened restaurant. However, as Lu Yunzheng pushed the wheelchair through the lobby, Lu Yan, who was not far away, saw them.

To be precise, because Luo Qianyun was sitting in the wheelchair, Lu Yan only saw Lu Yunzheng’s face.

Immediately, Lu Yan got up and chased after the two. When he reached behind them, he quickly called out, “Third Uncle!”

Lu Yunzheng stopped and turned around. Seeing Lu Yan behind him, he nodded slightly, “Something?”

“Nothing, just saw Third Uncle, so I came to say hello. Our company is nearby, I was having lunch with a friend. Are you having lunch with a friend, Third Uncle?” Lu Yan said with a smile.

“Yes.” Lu Yunzheng affirmed.

Luo Qianyun, who had been talking to him for three years, could certainly tell it was Lu Yan’s voice, but… Third Uncle?

Luo Qianyun: Is this title… a bit something?

Lu Yan seemed quite interested in Luo Qianyun, but she didn’t turn around to greet him, so he naturally didn’t dare to approach her.

Seeing this, Lu Yunzheng didn’t force Luo Qianyun to face Lu Yan. He immediately looked at Lu Yan, “Anything else?”

“No more.” Lu Yan watched Lu Yunzheng push the wheelchair forward with the waiter, feeling strangely familiar with the back, as if it resembled Luo Qianyun’s.

And that dress, Luo Qianyun seemed to have one too.

But how could Luo Qianyun be related to Lu Yunzheng? He must be overthinking.

In the private room, Luo Qianyun didn’t hide anything. When she wanted to ask, she asked, “Why does Lu Yan call you Third Uncle? I don’t remember his father having that many brothers.”

After all, they had been friends since childhood, so Luo Qianyun knew a bit about the Lu family.

She had also met most of their relatives, just not Lu Yunzheng.

“It’s just a coincidence that we both have the same surname, Lu.” Lu Yunzheng said.

However, Luo Qianyun didn’t believe it, “There must be another connection. If you don’t want to say it, don’t say it. Don’t deliberately lie to me.”

“There is indeed no blood relationship. His father is just a private child of a branch family, and I don’t even know which branch it was. However, he helped my mother before, and he’s quite smart, so he represented the Lu family to establish a foothold in City A.” Lu Yunzheng simply explained. After all, there was no need to go into too much detail about these matters.

Luo Qianyun didn’t expect that Uncle Lu was actually a private child. No wonder…

She remembered that she had never seen Lu Yan’s grandparents in the Lu family, but she had heard that they were both still alive. She originally thought it was just a lack of closeness, but there might be more complicated reasons…

However, this made Luo Qianyun realize something, “Then isn’t your Lu family very complicated internally?”

“Our family is relatively simple. I’m the youngest child of my parents. I have an older brother and an older sister, but the younger generation is about your age.” Lu Yunzheng said.

Hearing this, Luo Qianyun understood, “Then wouldn’t there be people about my age calling me ‘Little Aunt’ or ‘Little Auntie’ after we get married?”

“That’s right, our generation will be older.” Lu Yunzheng.

Luo Qianyun thought it was quite interesting…

But soon, she realized that she wasn’t thinking about the title, “Then your family isn’t a small family, so can you just talk about getting married?”

Although Lu Yunzheng didn’t elaborate, Luo Qianyun was smart and could figure it out.

Based on the Lu family’s current status in City A, Lu Yan’s attitude towards Lu Yunzheng was somewhat flattering, which meant that the main family in the capital must be even more powerful.

Rich families getting married was different from ordinary families. Perhaps his family intended to arrange a marriage for him, or there was another possibility…

“Do you have any childhood sweetheart or fiancée?” Luo Qianyun couldn’t help but ask.

“Our family doesn’t need arranged marriages.” Lu Yunzheng immediately understood Luo Qianyun’s worries.

Encountering Lu Yan was unexpected. Lu Yunzheng didn’t expect to have to tell Luo Qianyun these things so soon, and he was worried that she would be scared away.

After all, Luo Qianyun currently wanted a simple marriage relationship as her protection. If it was too complicated, it might cause her to back down.

But now that they had reached this point, how could he let her back down?

Luo Qianyun didn’t know that Lu Yunzheng had quietly sent a message…

Perhaps because she suddenly learned about Lu Yunzheng’s extraordinary identity, not just a soldier, Luo Qianyun’s meal wasn’t as relaxed as before.

As the two were halfway through their meal, Lu Yunzheng’s phone rang…

Looking at the video call request on the screen, Lu Yunzheng frowned slightly.

Seeing his expression, Luo Qianyun thought it was because she was making things difficult for him, “I’m going to the bathroom.”

“No need, it’s my mom’s video call. She probably knows about my marriage report.” Lu Yunzheng explained.

Not knowing Lu Yunzheng’s mother’s personality, Luo Qianyun didn’t know what to say.

Obviously, neither of them had told anyone about this.

The only reason they knew was because of the marriage report.

In the end, Lu Yunzheng answered the video call, and Luo Qianyun could only eat and listen to their conversation…

As soon as the video call connected, an old lady with gray hair appeared on the other side of the phone. Lu’s mother gave birth to Lu Yunzheng in her forties, and she was almost seventy now.

But although she was old and had wrinkles on her face, years of pampering had given her a kind face and elegant demeanor.

“Little Five, are you eating?” Lu’s mother said softly.

Because Lu Yunzheng was the youngest child in the family, his mother had always called him that.

“Mom, have you eaten?” Lu Yunzheng.

“Your sister came back today and accompanied me for dinner. Little Five, how did I hear that you’re getting married?” Lu’s mother asked curiously.

Lu Yunzheng glanced at Luo Qianyun beside him, “Yeah, I want to get married.”

“It’s good to want to get married. I used to ask you to go on blind dates, but you refused every time. As your sister said, fate is something you can’t force. It will come naturally when it’s meant to be.” Lu’s mother said with a smile, her eyes filled with gentle affection.

Then, she curiously asked, “Whose child is it? Do I know her?”

“You don’t know her, she’s from City A.” Lu Yunzheng.

“City A? You’re not usually there, how did you meet this girl?” Lu’s mother couldn’t help but ask curiously.

“I met her during a mission. I happened to save her.” Lu Yunzheng looked at Luo Qianyun.

“A hero saving a beauty, you young people still like this.” Lu’s mother couldn’t help but laugh. “But Little Five, you should bring the girl home first, otherwise people will think you’re impolite.”

Lu Yunzheng looked at Luo Qianyun’s blushing face and explained, “She’s a bit shy, and she’s been injured recently. I’ll bring her back later.”
