Chapter 786 Lu Shichu's Side Story Part 1

As time went on, Su Ziyue noticed that Qin Muchen's sense of humor was growing by the day.

However, it was mostly dark humor.

Qin Zixi lowered his head and gobbled up all the food in his bowl. Then, he wiped his mouth with a tissue and looked up at Qin Muchen, saying, "Daddy, I need to go to the restroom."

Qin Muchen put down his spoon and took Qin Zixi to the restroom.

Before leaving, he reminded Su Ziyue, "Don't wander around."

There were other people at their table, and although Qin Muchen's voice was not particularly loud, it was still audible to those nearby.

With an uneasy expression, Su Ziyue nudged him and urged, "Hurry up!"

She couldn't help but feel that he was becoming increasingly nagging.

Seeing Su Ziyue glaring at him, Qin Muchen didn't even get mad. Instead, he broke into laughter.

Qin Zixi sighed. I really need to get to the restroom quickly.

Qin Muchen took Qin Zixi to the restroom and ran into Bai Yunan in the corridor.

Today was Bai Jingshu's big day. As the eldest brother, Bai Yunan naturally had to be busy entertaining guests. He had already had quite a few drinks, and his face was slightly flushed.

Qin Muchen glanced at him and didn't want to talk to him at all.

However, Bai Yunan walked up to him and reached out to touch Qin Zixi's head. "Qin Zixi."

Clearly in a hurry, Qin Zixi clutched his stomach and urgently exclaimed, "I've got to use the restroom!"

Bai Yunan was left momentarily speechless by the unexpected situation.

With his hand over his mouth, Qin Muchen restrained the urge to laugh.

Fortunately, they were just a stone's throw away from the restroom, so he pointed the way and let Qin Zixi go in by himself.

Qin Zixi rushed into the restroom with his short legs.

Bai Yunan watched him go before turning back around.

As soon as he did, he noticed Qin Muchen staring at him.

Raising an eyebrow, Bai Yunan remarked, "Why don't you go take a look at him?"

Qin Muchen put his hand in his pocket and tilted his head slightly. "No matter how I look at him, he's still my son."

What a childish person!

Bai Yunan pursed his lips. Looking at Qin Muchen's self-righteous appearance, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

I've never encountered such a petty man before!

But what can I do? This is so annoying!

Suddenly, he remembered something and gave Qin Muchen a sly smile. "Su Ziyue's old friend is coming today. They might have already met."

Bai Yunan hinted and didn't say more.

Qin Muchen frowned. Su Ziyue's old friend in Jingcheng City?

As he thought about it, his expression turned serious, and he turned to go back to the banquet hall.

However, Bai Yunan timely stopped him. "Your son is still inside using the restroom. Aren't you going to check on him?"

Heh.

Having a son doesn't make you superior!

Qin Muchen's face darkened as he went to the restroom to replace Qin Zixi.

The dishes at the hotel banquet were all delicious, but Su Ziyue, being pregnant, had a selective appetite and ate slowly.

There were few people at their table. It was specially reserved by Bai Jingshu for them, and there were two empty seats next to them.

Qin Muchen and Qin Zixi hadn't come back yet, and she felt that they had been gone for quite some time. She contemplated whether to call Qin Muchen when a clear and pleasant female voice reached her

ears.

"Shichu, what are you standing there for? Come over here, we're sitting here. Bai Yeqi reserves these seats for us."

Looking up, Su Ziyue coincidentally bumped into a girl who was speaking. She was very young and also very beautiful.

When Lu Qingyou saw Su Ziyue, she was stunned for a moment. Pointing at her, she opened her mouth wide and walked over excitedly. "Are you Su Ziyue?"

"You are..." Su Ziyue could tell that this girl had a good relationship with the Bai family, yet she couldn't place her name.

"I'm Lu Qingyou, living right next to Bai Yeqi's house. This is my cous..." Lu Qingyou turned her head and caught sight of her cousin limping away.

In a hurry, she caught up with him and held him back, asking, "Hey, where are you going?"

Following Lu Qingyou's running direction, Su Ziyue looked over. When she saw that familiar figure, she froze in place.

Feeling unsure of what to do at first, Su Ziyue eventually mustered the courage to stand up and approach them.

Meanwhile, Lu Qingyou was still tugging at her cousin and wouldn't let him leave.

Su Ziyue walked over. Standing in front of him, she choked out a name that was both strange and familiar.

"Shichu."

In the past, Qin Muchen had told her that Bai Yunan had learned about Lu Shichu's situation, but he showed leniency and allowed Lu Shichu to join the National Research Institute.

After they had gone through so much, the relationship between Su Ziyue and Lu Shichu was no longer as pure and innocent as it once was.

Despite the uncertainty of meeting again in the future, Su Ziyue hoped that as long as he was alive and living honestly, it would be enough for her.

She never thought that she would meet Lu Shichu today.

Lu Shichu kept his head slightly lowered, looking frail and thin. Spending long hours in the research room had given him a pale complexion, and he held a crutch in his hand for support.

He stared at the ground and didn't lift his head to look at Su Ziyue.

Lu Qingyou, standing by the side, felt that something was off between the two of them and tentatively asked, "Do you know each other?"

Su Ziyue immediately sorted out her emotions.

She turned her head and smiled at Lu Qingyou. "You two haven't had lunch yet, right? Come, let's sit here."

Lu Qingyou was stunned by Su Ziyue's smile, replaceing her really beautiful.

After a few seconds, she finally reacted and tugged Lu Shichu along. "Shichu, let's sit down first."

"I have some matters in the research room, so I'm not going to join you now." Lu Shichu pulled Lu Qingyou's hand down. Then, he bypassed Su Ziyue and made his way outside.

Su Ziyue lifted her hand slightly as if she wanted to say something, but then she withdrew it.

Lu Qingyou clearly sensed that something was off with Lu Shichu's emotions and weakly called out, "Shichu..."

Lu Shichu was walking quite fast, clearly already accustomed to walking with a crutch.

Su Ziyue felt an unusual sense of relief in her heart. Shichu is standing tall again.

Lu Qingyou glanced at Su Ziyue's reddened eyes and felt a little unsure. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Let's have a seat first." Su Ziyue held her hand and walked toward the dining table.

Lu Qingyou sensed that there was something unusual going on between her cousin and Su Ziyue, but since she wasn't close to Su Ziyue, she didn't ask too much.

Lu Shichu and their family were distant relatives, but their parents had a good relationship. Hence, after Lu Shichu came to Jingcheng City and joined the National Research Institute, Lu Qingyou's family had always taken good care of him.

When Qin Muchen returned with Qin Zixi, he scanned around and didn't see Lu Shichu, which made him slightly suspicious.

Is Bai Yunan lying to me?

"You're back." Su Ziyue saw the two of them return and smiled at Qin Muchen. Turning to Lu Qingyou, she introduced, "This is my husband, Qin Muchen, and this is our son, Zixi. Say hi to Miss Lu."

Qin Zixi obediently greeted, "Hello, Miss Lu."

Lu Qingyou smiled warmly and replied, "Hello."

Qin Muchen felt a bit sensitive to the surname "Lu" and couldn't help but take another look at Lu Qingyou.
