Chapter 1965 - 1938: Taoyuan Restaurant
Seeing Lu Tianxing hang up the phone, Rose immediately asked, "Was that Qiu Tianrui calling you? What’s going on?"
"Yeah, he plans to invite me to dinner tonight." Lu Tianxing casually tossed his phone aside and said.
"Are you really planning to go?"
"Of course, if someone invites me, why not go."
Lu Tianxing looked at Rose and smiled, "Besides, Qiu Tianrui and I are friends. What could he possibly do to me?"
Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Rose rolled her eyes. She wasn’t worried about Lu Tianxing at all, but was concerned about Qiu Tianrui. She didn’t claim to fully understand her man, but she knew more than anyone else.
"Playing the pig to eat the tiger" is a tactic Lu Tianxing often uses. If Qiu Tianrui dares to scheme against Lu Tianxing, he might end up losing everything, even his underwear, being sold by Lu Tianxing yet still counting money for him.
After hanging up, Qiu Tianrui slowly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, lighting a cigarette for himself as he gazed quietly at the scenery outside.
Ever since Lu Tianxing returned to Qin Island, he had been secretly gathering information about what happened to Lu Tianxing after he left. The more he collected, the more Qiu Tianrui felt a mounting dread, realizing the terrifying nature of it all. Destroying the Shankou Family and then stirring up havoc in Eagle Country, annihilating all the forces trying to besiege him in Eagle Country—this wasn’t just bold, it was unbelievably brazen.
One must know these forces may not be formidable alone, but when united, they form a mighty mountain that inspires fear. Yet Lu Tianxing chose to annihilate them all, exhibiting a coldness that sent shivers down one’s spine.
At least Qiu Tianrui knew he could never achieve such a feat, let alone becoming an enemy of the entire world.
But Qiu Tianrui understood clearly that if Lu Tianxing survived this crisis, he would be globally renowned and untouchable.
This was why, after learning that Lu Tianxing was seeing Lin Yafei off at the airport back to Beijing, he immediately called Lu Tianxing to invite him to dinner. Now, the Qiu Family and Lu Tianxing were like grasshoppers tied to the same rope, with no chance of parting ways. Thus, he might as well declare the relationship between the Qiu Family and Lu Tianxing to everyone.
...
Night fell silently, and people who had been busy all day began their most anticipated nightlife.
The streets of Qin Island were bustling, bright with neon lights, and filled with the buzzing of cars, exuding a vibrant prosperity.
Lu Tianxing drove alone towards a famous restaurant in Qin Island.
This time, Lu Tianxing didn’t bring along Bai Zhiqing and others but went alone. Not because he didn’t want to bring Bai Zhiqing, but because she had refused, so he simply drove out alone.
Half an hour later, Lu Tianxing arrived at the entrance of Taoyuan Restaurant.
Taoyuan Restaurant might not be a top-tier restaurant or a renowned five-star hotel in Qin Island, but it had a unique charm here and was extremely popular. If you wanted to dine here, you had to book in advance; otherwise, showing up would be pointless.
Of course, this world is one of privilege. If you have power and influence, there’s no need for booking. Just a word, and you’d have a private room arranged for you instantly.
At the entrance of Taoyuan Restaurant, a man and two women stood, attracting a lot of attention.
More precisely, it was a man and a woman with a cute little girl.
The man was tall, handsome, in a well-fitted suit that complemented his dignified aura, making him quite eye-catching.
The woman beside him had straight, shiny black hair cascading like a waterfall over her shoulders. Her exquisite features paired with an aura exuding warmth and elegance made her irresistible, drawing the gaze of every passerby regardless of gender.
Her stunning appearance was rivaled by her figure, a classic devilish physique that even in deep autumn with layers of clothing couldn’t hide her alluring form, exuding a refined elegance cultivated over time.
The little girl alongside them was endearingly cute, with two pom-pom hairstyles, like a porcelain doll one would instinctively want to hug and caress her cheeks.
The trio was none other than Qiu Tianrui, Qiu Yingrong, and Lingling.
When Lu Tianxing’s car appeared at the restaurant, Lingling, who had been standing obediently by Qiu Yingrong’s side, immediately recognized it, and without worrying if Lu Tianxing could hear, she shouted, "Daddy, over here, Mommy and I are here...."
As she spoke, Lingling waved her arms in Lu Tianxing’s direction.
Lu Tianxing, of course, noticed Lingling right away. Parking near Taoyuan Restaurant, he got out and briskly walked towards Qiu Tianrui.
"Daddy, Daddy...."
Seeing Lu Tianxing alight, Lingling’s face lit up with joy, quickly breaking free from Qiu Yingrong’s hand, darting like a sprite, cheering as she ran to Lu Tianxing.
Seeing this, Lu Tianxing squatted down and caught the running Lingling in his arms before walking over to Qiu Tianrui.
"Daddy, is your illness cured? Will you be able to play with me again?"
"Of course, Daddy is all better. When you have the weekend off, Daddy will take you to the amusement park and the aquarium to see dolphins, how about that?"
"Yeah, yeah, remember, Daddy, you can’t be like Mommy, always lying to me." "Daddy won’t lie to Lingling."
Lu Tianxing smiled, "But Lingling, did you miss Daddy during this time?"
"Yes, I missed Daddy very much."
Lingling nodded firmly, "I even dreamed about Daddy several times."
