Unveil Her Secret Identities-Chapter 648: Extra - on Lu Zhizhou ⑤_1

Xu Boyan nodded at Lu Zhizhou to greet them, without uttering a single word.

"Zhizhou, you are becoming more and more beautiful. How was life abroad? What are your plans now that you’re back?"

Gu Xiang had a sweet smile as she asked Lu Zhizhou, expressing sincere concern like an elder would.

She really admired Lu Zhizhou’s personality and liked this girl, having once hoped that Lu Zhizhou could be with Xu Boyan.

"It was good. I plan to work here, as I prefer the environment back home."

Lu Zhizhou answered with a smile, completely unfazed by Xu Boyan’s stoic demeanor.

To be honest, she didn’t feel anything for Xu Boyan, but she did like Gu Xiang, maybe because she missed having a mother around.

"Yes, home is always better."

Gu Xiang nodded in agreement.

"And who might this young lady be?"

Lu Zhizhou’s gaze fell onto Lu Qingyi. She asked with a hint of curiosity.

She’s truly beautiful.

Even as a young girl, she’s breathtaking. It’s clear she will grow into something extraordinary.

This was the first time Lu Zhizhou had encountered such a striking girl, and she felt quite a warm affection for Lu Qingyi.

"Boyan’s wife."

Gu Xiang looked at Lu Qingyi, gently ruffling her hair as she softly announced.

Wife?

Lu Zhizhou was surprised, glancing at Xu Boyan. Seeing that he showed no dissatisfaction, she turned her attention back to Lu Qingyi, her gaze becoming slightly doubtful.

Lu Qingyi looked so young. Could it be that Xu Boyan was into younger girls?

"She’s of legal age already?"

Lu Zhizhou asked after a few seconds’ pause.

Could Boyan have this sort of preference for school-aged girls?

"Yes, she’s reached the legal age."

Gu Xiang replied casually, a knowing smile on her face.

"She’s twenty already?"

Lu Zhizhou was taken aback. She continued to regard Lu Qingyi with a visibly incredulous look.

Given Xu Boyan’s capabilities, he would have no problems procuring a marriage certificate, even if it was before the legal age.

Lu Zhizhou was stunned to think that this seemingly young girl before her was already twenty years old.

Lu Qingyi, however, remained unfazed, merely acknowledging with a gentle nod, yet not uttering a word.

After the exchange of formalities, Lu Zhizhou returned to her seat.

"Dad, I would like to go out for some air."

Everyone was busy eating and chatting. Lu Zhizhou spoke up, feeling the room was getting a bit too lively. She just wanted to have a quiet moment alone.

Seeing Lu Qingyi and Xu Boyan adorably paired up made her feel oppressed, and uncomfortable.

She envied Xu Boyan and Lu Qingyi, for their freedom to be openly affectionate and for having their parents’ approval.

"Go ahead."

Before Lu Mojing could respond, Lu Mohai spoke, granting her permission to leave.

Lu Mojing simply waived goodbye at Lu Zhizhou.

Stepping outside where the wind was playing up and the temperature was slightly chilling, Lu Zhizhou brushed her hair neatly, looking down at the silver necklace in her palm. Her smile turned slightly bitter.

The roof design of Guxiang Residence was spectacular, with swings and pairs of tables and chairs, lush greenery all around. An ideal place to sit when feeling low.

Lu Zhizhou sits on a swing, pulls out a pack of cigarettes, lights one up and takes a puff.

While most people perceived her as a good girl, she was the only one who knew her own secret habits and occasional indulgence in smoking.

Lu Zhizhou held onto the ropes of the swing with her left hand while holding the cigarette in her right, the wind fluttering her long hair.

He Chenguang, I’m sorry...

I’m sorry for having deceived your feelings.

While she was feeling quite blue, she was thinking about He Chenguang, reminiscing the moments they had shared.

"You... feeling upset?"

Turning around, Lu Zhizhou happened to catch Lu Qingyi standing behind her, looking indifferent. Extinguishing her cigarette, she asked.

"No."

Lu Qingyi took a few steps forwards, her voice slightly cold.

"Why did you come up here then?"

Lu Zhizhou hopped off the swing, tilting her head slightly as she regarded Lu Qingyi fondly.

She truly cherished the girl. She was a pretty and cool-headed girl.

Lu Qingyi: "It’s quiet here."

"Are you really married to Xu Boyan?"

Looking at Lu Qingyi, Lu Zhizhou asked sincerely, her eyes carrying a hint of disbelief.

Xu Boyan had a certain attribute to his personality; he didn’t seem the type to marry young. Furthermore, the girl in front of her seemed too young and cool-headed, hardly likely to be the type to marry young either.

Lu Zhizhou was genuinely curious. Could it be that Xu Boyan was mesmerized by this young girl?

As the saying goes, even heroes can’t resist feminine charm.

"Mhm, we got our marriage certificate on my 20th birthday."

Lu Qingyi nodded seriously.

"We liked each other, so we wanted to spend our lifetime together."

The young girl spoke earnestly, every word emanating sincerity.

"Liked each other and wanted to spend lifetime together? What about your parents?"

Lu Zhizhou suddenly burst into chuckles. She asked, her tone a mix of curiosity and ridicule.

Though we live in an age of freedom to choose one’s life partner, parents don’t always keep their noses out. Some parents would still interfere. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Like Lu Mojing, for instance.

"Being together because you like each other" might be a luxury for Lu Zhizhou, something she didn’t dare dream about.

"My marriage has nothing to do with them."

Lu Qingyi spoke in a assertive tone, her face emotionless.

"Young lady, what’s your name?"

Upon hearing Lu Qingyi’s response, Lu Zhizhou became noticeably more interested. She leaned forward and asked.

The young lady appeared quite sincere.

"Lu Qingyi."

"What a coincidence, my name is Lu Zhizhou. We share the same surname."

Lu Zhizhou let out a small laugh, feeling as if it all was a strange coincidence.

"You are very beautiful, and I like you a lot."

Lu Zhizhou didn’t hide her feelings for Lu Qingyi, openly expressing them.

Pretty women, beautiful things, they were universally admired. Lu Zhizhou was no exception.

Right from the first glance, Lu Zhizhou was smitten by Lu Qingyi’s beauty and felt a special bond with her.

Lu Qingyi looked at Lu Zhizhou and said softly, "Unfortunate."

Lu Zhizhou was confused, not understanding what Lu Qingyi meant, yet she just smiled without asking further.

"I feel a connection with you, and I like you very much."

Lu Zhizhou spoke. The sincerity in her eyes as she looked at Lu Qingyi was unmistakable.

Lu Qingyi remained silent.

"How did you and Xu Boyan meet?"

Suddenly, Lu Zhizhou grew curious and asked.

Although she wasn’t particularly close to Xu Boyan, having grown up with him, she knew what kind of person he was.

Lu Qingyi was indeed beautiful, but Xu Boyan was constantly surrounded by beautiful women. He wouldn’t be captivated by her for her looks alone.

There must have been something different about Lu Qingyi.
