Marry Me Quick

Chapter 794 Give Up

Aunt Liu was making breakfast when she saw Lu Qingyou running down like a gust of wind. She quickly called out, "Qingyou, aren't you staying for breakfast?"

Unfortunately, Lu Qingyou had already run far away and didn't hear her at all.

Aunt Liu looked at the time and muttered to herself, "It's still early, what's going on?"

Not long after, Bai Yunan came down.

"Aunt Liu." He sat down at the dining table.

She looked at him and was stunned for a moment before smiling. “Since when were you back?"

"Last night." He took a sip as his mind drifted away.

...

Lu Qingyou returned home and wanted to quietly sneak back upstairs, but she was caught by Mrs. Lu.

Mrs. Lu pulled her ear, bringing her to the sofa.

Lu Qingyou covered her ear and cried out in pain. "Mom, Mom... It hurts..."

Why is she twisting my ear?

With a stern face, Mrs. Lu sat down in front of her with a serious attitude.

Among the entire Lu family, Lu Qingyou was most afraid of Mrs. Lu because everyone else in the family doted on her. Mrs. Lu was very strict with her.

Seeing Mrs. Lu's stern expression, Lu Qingyou didn't dare to say anything and hung her head down.

"You should go to the Bai Residence less often in the future."

Lu Qingyou couldn't help but defend herself, "Old Master Bai invited me for dinner and drink. He's old lonely, so I kept him company."

"I didn't say you shouldn't have dinner at the Bai Residence, I just want you to be more careful in the future. The Bai family is full of boys, and Yunan is a grown-up. No matter how good your relationship is, he is still a man. Old Master Bai and Commander Bai have been looking for a partner for him recently. You should go to their house less often to avoid trouble."

Lu Qingyou felt terrible because Old Master Bai and the others were looking for a partner for Bai Yunan again.

Mrs. Lu looked at Lu Qingyou's expression and her tone became unusually serious. "Qingyou, tell me, do you still have feelings for Yunan?"

"W-What kind of feelings?" Lu Qingyou forced a smile and turned her head to look elsewhere.

"No matter what kind of feelings you have for him, stop it. You've known Yunan since you were born, and he cares about you, but he doesn't have romantic feelings for you. Otherwise, he wouldn't have waited this long when you're already twenty. Give up."

Mrs. Lu's words were cruel to Lu Qingyou, but she knew it was the truth.

When she was in her early teens, her classmates would secretly write love letters and go on dates, but all she could think of was Bai Yunan.

As she grew older, she knew that she and Bai Yunan were considered childhood friends. Although there was a slight age difference, she didn't mind it.

Besides her father and brother, he was the person who treated her well. However, several years had passed and Bai Yunan's attitude had never changed.

Her family had advised her, so she had been keeping her distance from Bai Yunan, refraining herself from meeting him or hearing news about him.

Her silence made Mrs. Lu realize that her tone was too harsh, but she couldn't beat around the bush. She was afraid her silly daughter wouldn't give up on her feelings.

...

Lu Qingyou spent the morning at home in a daze. In the afternoon, she didn't want to stay at home anymore, so she called Cheng Qiulu.

Cheng Qiulu took a long time to answer the phone. Lu Qingyou wondered what she was up to.

"Qingyou, what's up?"

Lu Qingyou felt a pang in her chest. Did she have to have something to talk about in order to call Cheng Qiulu?

"Where are you? Let's hang out."

Cheng Qiulu hesitated. "Well, I have something to do right now..."

"What is it? Where are you? I'll come to you." Lu Qingyou went to get her clothes.

Before she could hear Cheng Qiulu's response, she heard a man's voice on the other end of the line. "Qiulu, be careful!"

Lu Qingyou hung up the phone in pain.

Just a few days ago, Lu Qingyou felt sorry for her, and now Cheng Qiulu had already found a partner.

In the end, Lu Qingyou aimlessly wandered the streets all alone. Her mother's words were right. She felt that she should try to get to know other boys.

She was about to graduate from college and yet, she had never been in a relationship.

She called Lu Qinghan, who stayed at the bar at night and slept during the day. His routine was messed up.

Awakened by the ringing tone, he squinted at the dialer's ID, which showed Lu Qingyou's name. He sighed and sat up, sounding a bit helpless. "My dear sister, tell me, to what honor do I own this?"

He felt like a failure as an older brother because his younger sister was closer to the neighbor's older brother than to him.
