Seeing that Lu Yunfan was still standing there, Liang Mulan asked her to sit down and offered her a cup of tea and some fruits.
“I don’t know what you like, so I just casually prepared some. Try it… Let me know what you like to eat, so I can prepare it in advance the next time you come,” Liang Mulan said.
“I like anything that’s delicious! Thank you, Madam Liang!” Lu Yunfan thanked her with a smile.
Seeing Lu Yunfan drinking the tea and snacking on the fruits without a care in the world, Liang Mulan could see she was a young lady of refreshing candor. She liked her plain dealing, but at the same time, she wanted to caution her. “You came here all alone. Aren’t you afraid I’m a bad person? What if I added something to your food and tea because I have something against you? What would you do if such a thing happened?”
Lu Yunfan, who was chewing on the fruit, paused in her actions. She stared at Liang Mulan with eyes that seemed to have been washed by rainwater and blinked. Her expression was blank and adorable. She then quickly shook her head. “No… you look very kind, just like my mother. I don’t think you’re a bad person!”
As she spoke, Lu Yunfan took another bite of the fruit with a foolish look on her face. Her eyes were covered in smiles, and her smile was incredibly sweet. “So, I’m not afraid…”
Just like her mother! When Liang Mulan heard this, the smile on her lips turned even brighter. She smiled. “You’re such an interesting child!”
Lu Yunfan was completely different from Lin Nuan and Lin Ran. Not only did Lu Yunfan look adorable, but she also had a frivolous personality. Just a few words from her made one’s heart ache for her.
It was mainly because Lu Yunfan’s cuteness was all natural and wasn’t faked.
In the past, Liang Mulan had hoped that her daughter had such a character. Unfortunately, none of her daughters… were like that.
Lin Nuan was more mature and intelligent. Moreover, she was personally taught by Old Madam Lin for a long time, so she always appeared composed and self-controlled.
Needless to say, Lin Ran had grown up in a harsh environment since she was young. If it weren’t for the fact that she had a strong and sharp personality, she would have long been bullied to the point of having no skin.
If Lu Yunfan could become her daughter-in-law, Liang Mulan would be able to make up for her regrets.
Through Lu Yunfan’s behaviors, Liang Mulan could tell that this young lady was well protected by her family. This meant that the young lady’s family was peaceful and loving!
Children who came from a harmonious and loving family usually had better personalities!
The more Liang Mulan looked at the chattering Lu Yunfan, the more she liked her.
Lu Yunfan, who hadn’t eaten breakfast, ate a few pieces of the snacks and drank some tea. She then wanted to see Liang Mulan’s art collection…
Liang Mulan brought Lu Yunfan to the art room.
Lu Yunfan really liked Liang Mulan’s art collection. She turned to look at Liang Mulan and said, “Madam Liang, your collection is the style that I like! This one… a painting of a young lady with some pigeons in Paris. I wanted to buy it, but they said someone else had already bought it, making me sad for a while! So it was you!”
Lu Yunfan took a closer look at the drawing, then looked at the next one. She genuinely liked Liang Mulan’s art collection and treasured it.
“Madam Liang, this is such a treasure room!” Lu Yunfan admitted that she was jealous. Many paintings here were paintings that she would like to own but couldn’t because they were already sold to someone else!
A few paintings were the works of smaller artists who hadn’t made a name for themselves. When Lu Yunfan saw them, she excitedly pointed at them and said to Liang Mulan, “Madam Liang, I realized that we’re really fated to meet. These paintings you own are all my favorites! I have wanted to purchase some of these, but I couldn’t because they were no longer available! We appreciate and like the same kind of art!”
Lu Yunfan looked at Liang Mulan in reverence. It was as if she had seen her for the first time again. She couldn’t resist giving Liang Mulan a thumbs up. “Madam Liang, you’re really great. You have great taste!”
Liang Mulan was amused by Lu Yunfan’s liveliness. “Are you complimenting me, or are you just praising yourself?”
Lu Yunfan chuckled. “I’m praising both of us for being fated!”
Liang Mulan’s smile became increasingly vibrant. Wasn’t this fate? My son’s your boyfriend; where do you get such a collision of fate?
“I see that you like my collection so much. Why don’t you marry my son? If you become my daughter-in-law, we will be able to share this art room in the future!” Liang Mulan deliberately probed.
Lu Yunfan still had a bright smile on her face, but there was a hint of discontent in her eyes. She smiled and said, “I’m afraid I can’t do that, Madam Liang. I already have a boyfriend! Moreover… I’m determined to be my boyfriend’s last girlfriend and his wife!”
“Oh?” Liang Mulan’s eyes sparkled. “Such a great ambition…”
“Of course!” Lu Yunfan wasn’t guarded at all. She told Liang Mulan, who was already on good terms with her, how she wanted to woo Lin Chen. “I’ve liked my boyfriend for a very long time, but he’s always felt that our age gap is too big, so he didn’t agree to date me! But I didn’t give up and pursued him relentlessly. After all… it’s so rare for people to meet the love of their lives, so how can one give it up easily? My sincerity moved my boyfriend, so we have officially been in a relationship since yesterday!”
Lu Yunfan said happily.
“How old are you? Aren’t you too young to say that you’ve met the love of your life?” Liang Mulan was amused by Lu Yunfan’s words.
“How can love have something to do with age? If you meet the right person… your heart will tell you. You will feel that you won’t be able to die in peace if you can’t spend the rest of your life with that person! This kind of feeling must be true!” Lu Yunfan clutched at her chest as if she was secretly telling Liang Mulan. “So I’m very lucky! I’ll be able to die in peace in this lifetime!”
Lu Yunfan’s bubbly and mischievous look made Liang Mulan extremely fond of her.
“You have to consider this carefully! My son is very handsome, and many people are trying to woo him!”
“In my heart, my boyfriend is the most handsome!” Lu Yunfan said proudly. “Madam Liang, I believe your words. You are so pretty, so your son must be very handsome too. There must indeed be many women wooing your son. But if I were to be swayed by your words and told you that I would abandon my boyfriend just to meet your son, could you really let such a person date your son?”
Liang Mulan nodded. “You’re right…”
The young lady was quite eloquent. Her words didn’t offend others!
“Madam, lunch is ready!”
The housekeeper called out from outside the room.
Liang Mulan nodded and said to Lu Yunfan, “Miss Lu, let’s eat first. You can still come up here later if you still want to view these paintings after dinner!”
“Madam Liang, why are you so good to me?” Lu Yunfan was touched.
As they went downstairs to the dining room, Lu Yunfan quietly asked Liang Mulan, “Madam Liang, do you follow a meal etiquette of not speaking while eating?”
