Lu Juyan pulled Du Ruqing a few steps back and suddenly discovered that his car wasn't nearby. He frowned slightly and looked at a taxi that was about to arrive. Without saying anything further, he reached out his hand and pulled it down. His excessive actions made Du Ruqing not know what to say.
"Master, bring the car to South Parting." Lu Juyan pulled Du Ruqing to the back of the car and sat him down before speaking to the driver. Because he couldn't let Du Ruqing feel that his body's aura was too strong, he purposely restrained the icy aura he had towards strangers.
The driver looked at the handsome man and woman in the back seat and had a feast for the eyes. Naturally, he quickly drove towards the location that Lu Juyan had pointed out. He had wanted to chat with the two in the car, but he found out that the two of them were like lovers, and shouldn't be disturbed. He silently smacked his lips and obediently chose to be transparent.
Arriving at the southern residence, Lu Juyan handed over a sum of money and got off the car with Du Liqing. Apart from the intimate behavior of sitting in the car, Lu Juyan rarely touched Du Liqing.
Du Liqing raised his head and looked at a villa not far away that Du Fu had bought. His eyes started to moisten, and his nose began to ache. He had clearly not been here a few times, but for some reason, he felt very familiar yet he also felt like crying.
"Let's go in and take a look." Lu Juyan stood to the side, paying attention to Du Liqing's expression and taking note of her suppressed emotions. He felt a slight blockage in his heart, but didn't express any emotions. To prevent the youth from losing his mind, he once again pulled Du Liqing's hand.
He felt Du Liqing's fingers that were colder than the previous ones and felt a slight pain in his heart. He subconsciously held his hands tight, trying to warm them. Looking at the road ahead, he casually walked.
Du Ruqing allowed Lu Jingyan to hold her hand like a puppet. It wasn't that she didn't want to move, but that she was afraid that tears would flow down her face if she stayed still for too long. Under Lu Juyan's guidance, she looked around the surroundings at every detail of the Du Family's previous decorations. They looked very similar, but she knew that this wasn't the familiar home.
"At work, I overheard others discussing this villa. I learned later that it was your father who bought it, so I borrowed it for half a day. "
Lu Juyan noticed the faint tears in Du Liqing's eyes and felt the grip on his hand grow stronger as well. That subtle feeling caused his heart to tremble. He pursed his lips and coughed lightly, interrupting Du Liqing's train of thoughts as he slowly spat out.
Lu Juyan had deliberately asked Western Australia to send someone to investigate the house and have them buy it. He planned to give it to Du Liqing personally when he clarifies his identity in the future, but right now, he couldn't let Du Liqing find out so he could only open his mouth to lie.
The lie he'd told during this time had made Lu Juyan quite frustrated, but he'd had no choice but to do so. Only by reminding Du Ruqing of the past would he be able to fully explain the situation.
"Thank you!" Du Liqing placed his gaze on Lu Juyan's face and looked very grateful upon seeing his open appearance. The emotions that rippled out from the bottom of his heart could no longer be concealed as they surfaced on his face. The tears from the corner of his eyes were also revealed without any concealment in front of his eyes.
Lu Juyan's fingertip lightly wiped the corners of Du Liqing's eyes as he felt the wetness on his fingertip all of a sudden. She took a handkerchief from her pocket and dabbed at it. His eyes revealed a trace of pity and unease, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared.
"Thank you. I can do it myself." Du Ruqing's heartbeat slightly paused as she was wiping away her tears. She felt as if she was being hit by a fawn. The flopping feeling of her heart made her subconsciously step back a little. Subconsciously grabbing hold of the handkerchief, she unintentionally touched Lu Juyan's hand. The warmth made her feel as if she had been electrocuted. Her entire body felt numb and numb, and she couldn't help but retract her hand.
Her cheeks were slightly red as she turned around and walked up the stairs, but her steps were a bit unsteady and light. The panic in her heart caused her to unconsciously run away. Looking at the familiar door where her father used to bring her to live, her mind suddenly became calm. Pushing the door open and entering, he saw the same decorations, and an uncomfortable feeling once again arose in his heart.
It was unknown where Du Ruqing had touched, but a secret door automatically opened and issued a rumbling sound. The two of them looked at each other and entered the room at the same time. After switching on the light, they happened to notice a simple desk and bookshelves leaning against the wall. There were quite a few books placed on them.
There was a light yellow letter on the center of the desk. Du Liqing walked up and saw the words on it. It just so happened to be Mr Du's handwriting. There was a trace of panic in his eyes as he opened the envelope. Looking at the familiar handwriting, it was all for her own good. She then mentioned some of the things she had previously forgotten, and the letter just happened to disappear when she met a boy in the countryside.
In a trance, Du Liqing was slightly stunned. She was afraid that she had flipped to the wrong page and flipped to the right page, but she still couldn't find the next line. Several times in a row, she was unable to turn the page. She helplessly sat on that chair.
Du Liqing blankly stared in front of him as the scene from that day kept replaying in his mind. In that instant, Du Ruqing had a feeling that when his father wrote this letter, Sun Jiangyuan had come to find him. As a result, he did not finish his explanation.
"I'll take you somewhere." Lu Juyan's heart trembled uncomfortably when he felt that Du Ruqing's mood was extremely low. Noticing the dry handwriting, he didn't ask anything and pulled Du Liqing's hand in an attempt to take her away.
He didn't reject Lu Juyan's gaze at all, and grasped the letter tightly in his hand. He followed behind Lu Juyan, his eyes seemingly unable to focus. Regret rippled through her heart as she thought about Sun Jiangyuan and Yue Min's situation. At this moment, she felt that she couldn't let her father's heart rest at peace.
"Look at the night." Lu Juyan brought Du Ruqing up to the rooftop. She looked at the place where she placed the binoculars, then raised her head and took a look at the currently good night. Releasing her hand, he adjusted the position and focus of the telescope. Looking at her face being hit by the cold wind, it was as if her vision had become a bit clearer, and she could only hold her hand. Let her stand in front of the telescope and try to distract her.
Du Liqing looked at the telescope and saw the stars in the sky. It was very beautiful but also very desolate. It made her think of a saying: "Those who die will become the stars in the sky."
"Do you think my father exists among the stars in the sky?" Unconsciously, Dean whispered out. His tone was a bit sad but it made her thoughts much more stable.
