Lu Xue Lin maintained his smile throughout, and patiently waited for her reply.
Lin Wan Bai suddenly didn't know where to start. All of her words were stuck on her tongue, but in reality, she had only called him on the spur of the moment. In the end, she only mumbled a few words, "Actually it's nothing much, she just wants to find someone to chat with."
"Then I feel honored!" After Lu Xue Lin heard this, his smile became even wider.
"Thank you." Lin Wan Bai replied.
She picked up the milk tea cup in her hand and took another sip. After wiping off the cream on her mouth with a piece of paper, she unwittingly opened her mouth again, "Mr. Lu, you and my mother … Why didn't they get together in the end? "
"Because my mother left when I was eight, I have always missed her. I know that you and her were once in love, so I am just a little curious. It seems a little impolite, but it doesn't matter if you don't want to say it or if it's inconvenient! " Finally, she explained.
After Lu Xue Lin heard this, he put down the coffee cup in his hand and paused for two seconds. Then, he smiled towards her in a forgiving manner, "Actually, there's nothing inconvenient about it, but it's just an old story.
As you already know, your mother was my first love. In fact, like so many ordinary love stories, we met at the most beautiful age, and we were in love for so many years. We agreed that when I returned from studying in Germany, she would marry me!" It's just that I didn't expect her to ask me to break up, and then she married someone else. Actually, I don't blame her. It was her choice, and I respect and wish her well!
"Oh …" Lin Wan Bai said softly.
Her eyelashes drooped, hiding the look in her eyes.
From Lu Xue Lin's words, she could tell that it was a very regretful love story. However, looking at the man who was in the middle of the year, her emotions had changed by millions. Even though she was not sure, it was very possible that he was her father …
But one thing was certain, his mother had never really forgotten him, or she would not have kept the German novel to this day, and would have touched the poems on the bookmark over and over again.
Lu Xue Lin sighed, "Your mother is a very good woman."
Even if he had been abandoned in the end and failed to marry her as he wished, he had never regretted knowing her.
"Mm, I know …" Lin Wan Bai nodded lightly as she adjusted her expression. She once again lifted her head and said gratefully, "Mr. Lu, thank you for coming out to chat with me today."
Lu Xue Lin revealed a compassionate smile, "Don't call me Mr. Lu, we have known each other for such a long time. Now that we have such a relationship, you should call me Uncle Lu! I'll call you Wan Bai from now on, do you mind? "
"Alright." Lin Wan Bai paused, and slowly called out, "Uncle Lu."
Lu Xue Lin enjoyed it very much as he smiled at her and said, "If you need anything in the future, feel free to come find me!"
After drinking the milk tea in the cup and calling the waiter to pay, the phone in her bag rang. It was Huo Chang Yuan who called and asked her in a low voice, "Didn't you say you were waiting for me at the Lin Residence to pick you up?"
"Ugh …" Lin Wan Bai was stunned.
She actually forgot about it and said that Huo Chang Yuan would pick her up after finishing his work.
"Where is he now?" Huo Chang Yuan's tone was displeased.
Lin Wan Bai answered honestly, "I'm at the River Bridge Shop and I'm heading back to the villa right now."
"I'll pick you up!" Huo Chang Yuan immediately said.
"Still no need!" Lin Wan Bai glanced outside the window, this place was very far from the Lin Residence and he refused, "It's already at the peak of this time, so stop wasting your time here and go straight home. I'll just take a taxi!"
After putting down the phone, Lu Xue Lin who was holding the bill asked with a smile, "Chang Yuan's phone number?"
"Mm …" Lin Wan Bai nodded.
"You two have a pretty good relationship with each other!"
Lin Wan Bai smiled and looked at Lu Xue Lin who was slowly getting up. She asked hesitantly, "Uncle Lu, I see that you are sick, is your body not feeling well?"
When he saw him in the cemetery yesterday, he had felt that his complexion wasn't good.
"I've been feeling a bit unwell recently, but I'm fine!" Lu Xue Lin waved his hand and said.
"Then pay attention!" Lin Wan Bai warned.
"Yes." Lu Xue Lin smiled and nodded.
After exiting the coffee shop, Lin Wan Bai rejected Lu Xue Lin's invitation to send her home. When the luxurious car left her sight, the smile on her face disappeared as she walked to the side of the road. She did not stop the empty car, but instead walked slowly back.
She held her backpack in one hand, letting the evening breeze ruffle her hair.
The busy streets were filled with strangers, no one would be able to detect their emotions, and Lin Wan Bai unpredictably revealed his melancholy.
In a daze, he was hit on the shoulder by the person walking towards him with quick steps.
He helped the other party pick up the briefcase that had fallen to the ground and stood up to apologize. Just as he was about to continue walking, he heard the sound of a car honking behind him.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Lin Wan Bai subconsciously turned his head.
The white Land Rover was right behind her, its deep eyes peering through the front windshield.
The passenger door opened from the inside, Huo Chang Yuan frowned, "What are you looking at, hurry up and get in!"
Lin Wan Bai was startled, after reacting, he immediately bent over and entered the cave.
As the car door closed, the first thing Huo Chang Yuan did was reach out to her, touching her shoulder, "Did the collision hurt?"
"Nope." Lin Wan Bai shook his head, then looked at him and asked in shock, "Huo Chang Yuan, didn't I tell you to go back directly?
"Didn't you say to take a taxi? Why are you walking on the street like a ghost?" Huo Chang Yuan squinted his eyes and asked.
"…" Lin Wan Bai was embarrassed. When did she turn into a ghost?
Huo Chang Yuan suddenly asked, "Why are you with Uncle Lu?"
Lin Wan Bai was startled, he knew that when he made the call, he must have heard Lu Xue Lin and the waiter's voices, so he replied vaguely, "We just happened to meet, and we drank a cup of coffee."
What was rare for Huo Chang Yuan, was that he did not entangle himself too much with this question.
Grasping the steering wheel with one hand, he didn't immediately drive the car but instead fixed his gaze on her face. He turned his body and opened his solid chest towards her, "Do you need a hug?"
Lin Wan Bai frowned, confused by his strange actions.
But very quickly, she thought of something and pursed her lips, "…" My dad told you? "
"Yes." Huo Chang Yuan nodded.
Seeing that she had scattered her gaze after answering him, her lowered eyelashes slightly trembled, and seeing that there was a fine shadow below him, tightly biting his lips due to enduring emotions, he sighed in his heart, leaned forward, and took her into his embrace.
