Lu Qisheng and the others also held a short meeting after Lu Youyou left.
The Lu family could not withstand the possible consequences should the Fang family retaliate against them for breaking off the engagement. Even though Ge Muyu was unwilling, the truth was obvious. Even with the Ge family's ability, it was not enough. He could only convince himself to wait a few more years for Lu Youyou.
Ge Muyu said to Lu Youyou. "Protect yourself. Uncle Lu is right. As long as we want to be together, there will be a way for us."
Lu Youyou's heart ached. She could tell that Ge Muyu was trying his best to hold back. He was afraid that she would feel pressured and sad. After a long silence, she said to Ge Muyu. "Brother Muyu, thank you."
Ge Muyu seemed to smile, but he also couldn't help but to say, "But, Youyou. If I may be selfish, I really don't want to lose you. But I also want you to be clear of what you really want. Don't feel any pressure and don't be affected by anyone. If you want to be with me, I'll look for you even if it's a thorny path that lies ahead. But if you want me to be your brother, I'll guard you and take care of you like before."
Lu Youyou's eyes reddened.
Then, Ge Muyu handed the phone to Sun Xiangyi. Sun Xiangyi said a bunch of words that were filled with the longing of a mother for her daughter, making Lu Youyou feel as if she had already married Fang Yichu.
After putting down the phone, Lu Youyou stood outside the window and looked at the sea of crepe myrtle flowers. For some reason, she suddenly felt at ease. What was she afraid of? She had nothing to be afraid of!
"The path under my feet is made by me. I will create my own happiness!" Lu Youyou said firmly to herself.
Suddenly, behind him, a male voice floated up. "Yeah."
Lu Youyou turned around in shock. When she saw who it was, she was a little embarrassed. "When did you come over?"
Fang Yichu wheeled himself closer to her and stopped when he felt her tensed up. "I will dote on you."
Lu Youyou couldn't help but laugh. "You're really as unpredictable as the rumors say! You're so unpredictable."
Fang Yichu's eyes flashed and he wheel himself away.
No one came to disturb Lu Youyou again for the rest of the afternoon. She explored the house freely and took care of Milk for a while.
She accepted the fact that she would have to spend a few years with Fang Yichu, so she adjusted her mentality and began to try to accept Fang Yichu and everything here. She went to the kitchen and pestered Zhang Qingru to make her pastries. She took the green plum green tea and drank it while eating, but for some reason, she thought of the lonely man in the wheelchair.
After a moment's thought, she carried a tray upstairs. As soon as she opened the study door, she saw his wheelchair sitting alone in the corner. Fang Yichu was sitting at his desk, looking serious as he tapped something into his computer.
Lu Youyou asked in confusion. "I was downstairs the whole time and didn't see Gu Fan and Gu Cheng come up at all. How did you get out of the wheelchair and sit in this chair?"
Fang Yichu's cold gaze fell on the object she held in her hands and he raised his eyebrows. "Is this for me?"
Lu Youyou was distracted by the change in topic. Thinking of her things, she subconsciously nodded and placed the tray beside him.
Fang Yichu switched off the computer screen as she approached.
Lu Youyou put down the food and smiled warmly at him. "This is a dessert made by Sister Qingru. It's very delicious. Try it."
Fang Yichu did not seem to have much of an appetite and his reaction was normal.
Lu Youyou pushed him again. "Try it! You might like it! I like it a lot. This has a vanilla flavor."
Fang Yichu looked up at her and actually started eating.
Lu Youyou smiled and turned to leave. However, when she glanced around, she realized that there were footprints on the ground from a certain angle. She froze as her mind thought of a possibility! She turned back and stared at the man who was eating the dessert. "You haven't said how you transferred from the wheelchair to the chair."
The wheelchair was at least three to four meters away from Fang Yichu's current position. Most importantly, there was nothing in between for him to lean on while transferring!
Lu Youyou subconsciously took a step back! She suddenly felt a chill down her spine.
Fang Yichu saw that she was frightened and something flashed in her eyes. Then, he chuckled harmlessly and said with a doting expression. "There's a back door at home. After Gu Fan and Gu Cheng helped me up, I sent them off to do errands. What's wrong?"
"Then where did these footprints come from?" Lu Youyou pointed at the footprints and pointed her toes in the direction of the desk! She suddenly thought of something and asked directly. "Throw your shoe over! I'll know after comparing it!"
