âIâm not sure about the duration this time. It might be an extended stay,â Lu Hao explained. He didnât have a set vacation period this time, as he was on standby for further arrangements.
âPerhaps your family is pressuring you to get married? Are you back this time for a blind date?â Luo Zishen speculated.
Upon hearing Luo Zishenâs words, Lu Hao chuckled and replied, âBrother Zishen, youâre still unmarried. 1 am in no hurry.â
Luo Zishen found himself momentarily speechless.
âCough, cough.â Luo Ziyan took a sip of water. Upon hearing Lu Haoâs words, he choked and coughed a few times.
Luo Ziyanâs reaction drew the attention of the other three.
Luo Ziyan glanced at the perplexed expressions of Xiao Yichen and Lu Hao and then at his brotherâs enigmatic look. He hurriedly clarified, âLu Hao is correct.â
He gazed at Luo Zishen and added, âSo, Zishen, if my dad urges me to marry again, please speak up on my behalf!â
âItâs none of my concern,â Luo Zishen retorted and continued eating.
Luo Ziyan sighed in exasperation. He then turned to Lu Hao and said, âLu Hao, though youâre not in a hurry, Yichen has been married for some time.â
After this remark, Luo Ziyan shot Xiao Yichen a mischievous grin as if he were quite pleased with himself.
Xiao Yichen responded coldly, âHow does my marriage concern you?â
Luo Ziyan was taken aback. He moved his lips but couldnât find the right words to reply.
Was it related to him? It didnât connect to him, yet he was grinning just now. Why was he so delighted? It appeared to be because he thought of Lin Wan.
Upon seeing that Luo Ziyan was caught off guard, Lu Hao smiled and stepped in to help him. â1 should have invited Yichen to bring his wife along today.â
He wasnât surprised to learn that Yichen was married. A charismatic and outstanding man like him was bound to have a concealed marriage.
However, he was curious about the kind of woman who had captured his brotherâs heart.
As he contemplated this, Lu Hao thought of the girl he remembered.
Although they had lived in the same neighborhood for only three years as children, he held onto those memories in his heart. He remembered her beauty, her smile, her vibrant innocence, and her⦠adorable cuteness!
He wondered how she was doing now. Has she gotten married?
If not, he was determined to express his love to her.
âSheâs working today,â Xiao Yichen continued where Lu Hao left off. At the mention of his beloved, a spark of joy lit up his heart. He continued, âIâll bring her to the gathering next time.â
Wanâer, Brother Zishen, and Ziyan already knew each other. So, when the four brothers gathered in the future, and he brought her along, she probably wouldnât refuse. She just needed to get acquainted with Lu Hao. Lin Wan wasnât particularly shy.
âSounds great! I look forward to it,â Lu Hao nodded.
Luo Ziyanâs awkwardness faded, and he started a serious conversation with Lu Hao. âBy the way, Lu Hao, are you on leave or have work-related arrangements?â
âItâs a kind of leave, but I have some official matters to attend to at the government in the coming days. After that, Iâll have some free time,â Lu Hao explained to Luo Ziyan.
Upon hearing Lu Haoâs response, Luo Ziyan nodded and continued, âOh, so youâll have more free time shortly.â
âNot really. I have some personal matters to attend to afterward,â Lu Hao said.
âPersonal matters?â Luo Ziyan repeated, puzzled. He had always seen Lu Hao as a disciplined soldier.. What personal matters could there be?
