Chapter 481 Don't Have Too Big an Appetite
Shuyao is right. Love may be rare, but what if she's lucky enough to actually find it?
Why reject happiness that's within your grasp?
After Zhao Yizhi's interruption, Ming Nianxi made up her mind completely—Lu Boyi was indeed a good person.
She was deeply captivated by his calm demeanor, gentle thoughtfulness, and the way he stood up for her just now, even though they had only spent one day together.
There's just one misunderstanding that hasn't been cleared up—his name.
However, she wasn't in a hurry and planned to ask him privately later.
For now, let's focus on building a united front.
When the two returned to the private room, Xie Shuyao was sitting in her seat, looking at Lu Boxi with an impatient expression.
She had originally intended to go out with Ming Nianxi, but when she saw Lu Boyi go, she didn't follow and stayed where she was. The more she looked at Lu Boxi, the more she disliked him.
The eldest son of the Lu family is so smart and insightful, so how come the second son, apart from being good-looking, is not smart at all?
Lu Boxi felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with your eyes? Why are you staring at me like that?"
Xie Shuyao rolled her eyes and said dismissively, "It's nothing, just some dirty stuff got in."
Lu Boxi nodded innocently, "Oh, okay, then wipe it yourself."
Xie Shuyao thought to herself: With a brain like that, it's as easy for Zhao Yizhi to play him as walking a dog.
At this moment, Zhao Yizhi also walked in, her face still looking grim.
Seeing this, Lu Boxi immediately stood up and asked with concern, "Zhizhi, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Zhao Yizhi forced a smile and said awkwardly, "It's okay, it's just that my stomach is a little uncomfortable."
Upon hearing this, Lu Boxi panicked and quickly said, "Did you eat something that upset your stomach? I'll take you to my godfather's hospital right away!"
Zhao Yizhi nodded hurriedly, eager to leave this embarrassing place as soon as possible: "Okay."
Lu Boxi turned to Lu Boyi and said urgently, "Big brother, I'll go pay the bill. You guys take your time eating. I'll take Zhizhi to the hospital first."
Lu Boyi raised his eyes, his gaze sweeping lightly over Zhao Yizhi, and said unhurriedly, "Miss Zhao, perhaps your stomach isn't very good. You shouldn't have too big an appetite and eat too much, lest you suffer from indigestion."
Upon hearing this, Ming Nianxi and Xie Shuyao both pursed their lips tightly, desperately trying to hold back their laughter.
The sarcasm in those words couldn't be clearer.
Zhao Yizhi naturally understood what Lu Boyi meant. Her face turned pale and then red, but she dared not refute him.
However, Lu Boxi completely missed the underlying meaning and, still looking worried, helped Zhao Yizhi and hurriedly left the private room.
After the two left, Xie Shuyao couldn't hold back any longer and looked at Lu Boyi bluntly: "I'm saying, did you inherit all the good genes of the Lu family? Your brother's brain is too simple."
Lu Boyi nodded slightly, his tone tinged with helplessness yet also with a hint of doting: "Maybe so, he really isn't very smart."
Xie Shuyao burst out laughing at his straightforward comment.
—This is truly a brother; he doesn't hold back at all when it comes to criticizing his younger brother.
Meanwhile, at the Lu family's old residence in Beijing, the family was sitting around the dining table eating.
Looking at Shen Li's smiling face beside him, Lu Sheng couldn't help but ask, "What's making you so happy? You can't stop smiling."
Shen Li put down her chopsticks, her voice brimming with excitement: "Our boss found a girlfriend! He even said he's bringing her home to meet his parents!"
Lu Sheng's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "That's great news! When can we meet?"
Shen Li shook her head: "It's not certain yet. I should be able to see him when I go back to school."
Lu Boyan, who was standing nearby, leaned in and said with a hint of teasing, "My older brother is really something else. He doesn't even have any female friends normally, but he found a girlfriend in just a few days, and she even wants to meet his parents. Amazing!"
Shen Li smiled and nodded: "Yes, I didn't expect him to be more proactive than I imagined."
Lu Zhi sat alone to the side, her interest waning—she still hadn't figured out the background of the so-called "second sister-in-law" from before, and now another one was showing up.
She really couldn't muster any interest and was even a little worried.
Shen Li noticed her daughter's downcast expression and asked softly, "What's wrong? Xiao Zhi, aren't you happy that your older brother found a girlfriend?"
Seeing this, Lu Boyan quickly patted Lu Zhi's head and coaxed her with a smile, "Don't worry, even if your eldest brother has a girlfriend, your third brother will still love you the most. Even if your third brother has a wife in the future, he will still spoil you the most, okay?"
Lu Zhi rolled her eyes at him, her gaze seeming to say: I don't believe you for a second.
She turned to look at Shen Li and said frankly, "It's not that I'm unhappy that my brother has a girlfriend, it's just that I'm worried about this sister-in-law, who might be difficult to get along with, and that things might not be peaceful at home."
Shen Li smiled and patted her hand: "What are you afraid of? It would be best if we got along. If we didn't, we wouldn't live together and we wouldn't bother each other."
"Besides, think about it, can your eldest brother's judgment be the same as your second brother's?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhi immediately nodded: "That's true. Eldest brother is much smarter than second brother, so his judgment is definitely not bad."
Lu's mother, who was standing nearby, also laughed, her tone filled with anticipation: "How about we let them come to the capital for a few days? We can all meet up and have a good time."
Shen Li thought for a moment and said, "It's not certain yet. I'll ask the boss later to see if the younger ones have time. Anyway, we'll see each other when school starts, so there's no rush."
Mrs. Lu nodded: "That's true, but his grandparents are getting old and have difficulty walking. If they can meet him sooner, they can feel at ease."
Shen Li replied, "I know. I'll talk to the boss about it later and see how they arrange it."
On the other side, after having dinner with Ming Nianxi and Xie Shuyao, Lu Boyi drove them back to his apartment complex. Coincidentally, the three of them lived in the same complex, making it convenient for them to visit each other.
The car came to a smooth stop in the garage downstairs from Xie Shuyao's building. Xie Shuyao immediately and deftly picked up the bags from the trunk, three in her left hand and three in her right.
Turning to Lu Boyi, he winked and said, "I've done my best to create opportunities for you. You two can talk slowly; I won't disturb you."
After saying that, she winked at Ming Nianxi and lowered her voice, "You should be able to carry the remaining two bags, right?"
Ming Nianxi looked at the heavy bags in her hands and asked with some concern, "Are you sure you can manage carrying so much? Do you want me to help you carry two bags?"
Xie Shuyao patted her chest confidently, "Don't worry, no problem!"
With that, she picked up the takeout box, ran quickly into the apartment building, and soon disappeared from sight.
Downstairs, only Ming Nianxi and Lu Boyi remained, and the atmosphere became somewhat ambiguous.
Lu Boyi looked at her, his eyes full of tenderness, and said in a refined manner, "Ask whatever you want, I won't hide anything from you."
Ming Nianxi didn't hide anything, looking up at him with a hint of curiosity in her voice: "Your full name is Lu Boyi, right?"
Lu Boyi nodded slightly: "Mm."
