Chapter 1966 - 1939: Qiu Yingrong’s Sigh

Lu Tianxing heard Lingling’s words and pretended to be doubtful, "Really?"

"Of course."

Lingling nodded earnestly and said, "I dreamed that dad and mom held my hand, and we all went on a picnic together."

"When there’s time, dad will take you on a picnic with mom."

"Okay."

Lingling nodded heavily, "I believe you, dad. You won’t lie to me."

Lu Tianxing smiled gently, not saying much more on the topic, and softly asked, "Lingling, why are you here today?"

"I begged my uncle to bring me here."

Lingling’s face showed a bright smile as she said, "When I went to play with uncle tonight, he said he was inviting you to dinner. I begged him to bring me, and then I brought mom along too. Dad, you won’t blame me, will you?"

"How could I? Dad loves Lingling the most; how could I blame you!"

Lu Tianxing laughed as he patted Lingling’s little head, holding her as they reached Qiu Tianrui and Qiu Yingrong’s side.

Seeing Qiu Yingrong’s face full of intellect and elegance, Lu Tianxing took a deep breath and nodded slightly at her.

Qiu Yingrong also smiled and nodded at Lu Tianxing.

Then, Lu Tianxing turned his gaze to Qiu Tianrui, "I’m sorry, Young Master Qiu, there was a bit of traffic on the road, kept you waiting."

"Mr. Lu, you’re joking. We also just arrived not long ago."

Qiu Tianrui smiled faintly, glanced at Lingling clinging to Lu Tianxing’s neck, and said, "Lingling, come down now... "

"I won’t come down."

Before Qiu Tianrui could finish, Lingling interrupted him, "I want dad to hold me."

At this moment, Qiu Yingrong also interjected, "Lingling... "

"It’s fine, I’ll hold her," Lu Tianxing interrupted Qiu Yingrong, laughing as he spoke.

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Qiu Yingrong was immediately at a loss. She found that ever since Lu Tianxing became Lingling’s father, Lingling had become more daring, paying no regard to her. However, she felt helpless, suspecting that if she dared to scold Lingling, the little rascal would immediately call Lu Tianxing for backup.

Lingling, hearing what Lu Tianxing said, proudly glanced at Qiu Yingrong and Qiu Tianrui, hugging Lu Tianxing’s neck even tighter.

Qiu Tianrui, too, said nothing further, but instead changed the subject, "Mr. Lu, I’ve got the private room prepared. Why don’t we head in instead of standing here?"

Lu Tianxing nodded slightly at Qiu Tianrui’s suggestion and followed him into the Taoyuan Restaurant.

Under the guidance of a waiter, the four quickly arrived at an elegant private room.

"Please sit, Mr. Lu," Qiu Tianrui said to Lu Tianxing.

Lu Tianxing smiled, not refusing, pulled out a chair, set Lingling in the chair next to his, and then sat down himself.

Qiu Tianrui and Qiu Yingrong also promptly took their seats.

Once they were seated, they began chatting and laughing, while the waiter quietly left the room.

Perhaps due to Qiu Tianrui’s status, or perhaps because he had instructed in advance, shortly after the waiter departed, the food and drinks began to be served.

The dishes were specialties of Taoyuan Restaurant, visually appealing and aromatic, making one’s appetite grow with just a glance. The wine served was also premium Maotai, an exclusive spirit not easily found on the market.

In no time, the table was covered with dishes, both hot and cold.

After the waiter left, Qiu Tianrui immediately said, "Mr. Lu, I hope the dishes suit your taste. If not, I can ask the kitchen to prepare something else."

"No need, I’m not a picky eater, as long as it’s food, it’ll do," Lu Tianxing waved his hand casually.

"As long as you like it, Mr. Lu."

Qiu Tianrui nodded slightly, then stood up, picked up the Maotai beside him, opened it, and poured two glasses full, handing one to Lu Tianxing.

"Uncle, what are you doing... "

Just then, Lingling suddenly spoke up to Qiu Tianrui with a strong sense of dissatisfaction in her tone.

"What’s wrong, Lingling? Do you want a drink? Uncle will get it for you right away."

As he spoke, Qiu Tianrui picked up the juice beside him and handed it to Lingling.

"I don’t want juice."

Lingling pouted, looking at Qiu Tianrui, "Dad just recovered from his illness and can’t drink alcohol. Uncle, if you make dad drink with you, I’ll tell grandpa that you’re bullying me."

Upon hearing Lingling’s words, Qiu Tianrui let out a bitter laugh and looked at Lu Tianxing with a hint of helplessness.

"Since Lingling says so, let’s not drink," Lu Tianxing patted Lingling’s little head and said.

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing, Lingling smugly declared to Qiu Tianrui, "Uncle, did you hear that? Dad said he won’t drink with you. Hmph, bad uncle, I’ll ignore you for three days."

Seeing Lingling’s proud little expression, Lu Tianxing and Qiu Tianrui couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Sitting next to them, Qiu Yingrong listened to Lu Tianxing and Lingling, and sighed quietly in her heart. Right now, Lingling seems to see Lu Tianxing as her biological father, always considering him and having him on her mind. But will Lu Tianxing consider Lingling his real daughter?

Maybe now Lu Tianxing treats Lingling as his real daughter, but when Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru bear him a daughter and a son, will Lu Tianxing still regard Lingling as his own?

If Lu Tianxing stops considering Lingling his real daughter, how will Lingling react when she finds out?

Thinking of this, Qiu Yingrong couldn’t help but quietly sigh in her heart.

Qiu Tianrui did not look directly at Qiu Yingrong, but his peripheral vision caught her changing expression taking it all in, leaving him with a sense of helplessness. Ever since the incident at the Jingxin Tea House, it seemed his sister’s attitude towards Lu Tianxing had undergone a dramatic change.

But when he tried to investigate what happened between his sister and Lu Tianxing at the Jingxin Tea House, the whole matter seemed to have been wiped away by an invisible hand, leaving no trace. Even Zhang Zefeng had been disabled, his tongue cut out, throat poisoned silent, unable to utter a word, and the trail had gone cold.
