Ye Xi understood what Jian Nian meant and didn't respond.
Jian Nian continued, "If you don't mind that he has a daughter, I actually think you two could give it a try. What do you think?"
Ye Xi had never considered this before.

The Lu Family gathering.
Lu Lingxiao arrived fashionably late.
Since the Lu Family patriarch passed away, Lu Lingxiao had taken charge. The Lu Family appeared harmonious on the surface, symbolically gathering at the old house once a month.
The Lu patriarch married four wives in his lifetime.
The first wife, Jiang Hanmei, had long passed away.
The second wife, Xue Yingru—Lu Lingxiao's biological grandmother—had moved overseas.
When Lu Lingxiao was young, he had lived abroad with his grandmother for a while.
