Chapter 367: Coming to Say Goodbye

Chapter 367: Coming to Say Goodbye

Wang Shufen and Lu Shaoan naturally had different thoughts than the old man.

They saw only deep affection and urgency in Ye Qingbai's eyes.

He was eager to see the girl he liked.

Wang Shufen thoughtfully asked, "It's already this late, Xiaoya should be home from get off work soon, right?"

After she finished speaking, she smiled and looked at Ye Qingbai, "Xiao Ye, you don't know yet, do you? Xiao Ya has gone to the textile company for an internship. She's currently working as a cashier. Once she has more experience, she'll go to work in the finance department of her own company."

Lu Shao glared at the talkative Wang Shufen and said, "We'll talk about the future later."

He had this idea when he was helping Lu Ya choose her major.

But based on that girl's current performance, he was not comfortable putting her in charge of the company's finances.

Although their coal mining company is still in small-scale production, he and Lu Hai both have ambitions to make the company bigger and stronger.

That wasn't a family workshop, much less a makeshift operation.

Ye Qingbai nodded and replied, "It's fine."

Old Lu could tell what Wang Shufen was up to just by looking at her.

But he couldn't tell her clearly who Ye Qingbai liked.

They couldn't cause Lu Shan any trouble.

If Lu Shan had any intention of doing so, that would be fine, but the problem is that Lu Shan has no such intention at all, so it is not advisable to make it public at this time.

When Lu Ye ran upstairs, his bedroom door was open, and as soon as he went in, he saw that half of the girl's body was in the closet.

He walked over and put his arm around her waist from behind.

Bai Zhi turned her head and almost bumped into a handsome face that was inches away from hers.

He took the opportunity to kiss her on the cheek.

"You're back?"

He held her and softly replied, "Yes, Uncle and the others have gotten in the car."

"Where's my cousin?" she asked with concern.

"I'm sitting downstairs."

"Okay." She removed his hand from her waist and said, "Let go, hurry up and pack your things."

She packed some of Lu Ye's summer clothes from the closet into her luggage, along with his personal belongings that he had left behind.

"Don't take the clothes, the army will issue more. We still have things at the new house, there's too much to fit in."

In the past, when Lu Ye took a vacation, whether he was coming back or leaving, he would only bring a small bag containing two sets of clothes, a razor, and nothing else.

The recovery period for this injury was long, and I accumulated a lot of various daily necessities.

The key point is that life became more refined after I got a partner.

They provided him with everything from face cream and shampoo to new pajamas and clothes.

Moreover, the young wife was particular, so she kept one set in the military compound and another in the bridal chamber.

By now, he could see that his luggage bag was bulging and almost full, and he had no idea what his wife had packed.

He rummaged through it and took out everything he considered unnecessary.

He whispered suggestively in her ear, "My underwear is in the new house. Help me put it on when we get back tonight. I won't bring anything else."

"Then all my tidying up was for nothing?" Bai Zhi looked at the things he had taken out, speechless.

"It wasn't for nothing, your husband will thank you properly when we get home tonight."

Bai Zhi, "!!!"

I'm going to see my cousin.

Afraid that the man would make suggestive remarks in her ear again in broad daylight, she told him to clean up his own mess, then turned and went downstairs with a flourish.

Upon reaching the stairwell, Ye Qingbai was seen being "besieged" by the Lu family in the middle of the living room.

He sat there like a helpless little wretch, awkwardly rubbing his knees with both hands, and stiffly continued the conversation.

Seeing Bai Zhi come down, he felt as if he had seen a savior and instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

He gestured to her with his eyes for her to come and save the day.

"Cousin, you're here?"

Bai Zhi sat down and asked about her uncle and his family's car ride.

Ye Qingbai finally relaxed when he was talking to Bai Zhi.

Just as Zhang Ma and Xie Yun were calling everyone to dinner, Lu Shan returned.

She knew Lu Ye was going back to his unit tomorrow, so she made a special trip back to have a meal together.

In the past, Lu Shan was only focused on her work and wouldn't have cared about these things that she considered meaningless.

Of course, Lu Ye didn't care.

The siblings look very alike.

As long as I do my job well, nothing else matters.

It could be said that family ties are rather weak.

Since Lu Ye narrowly escaped death, and with her beloved still missing, Lu Shan's mindset has gradually changed.

They begin to value family ties and learn to cherish the people around them.

The relentless work numbed her, causing her to neglect too many things.

Now, she is learning to enjoy her free time and spend it with her family.

She didn't want to leave herself with any regrets.

However, as she dragged her tired body into the house, her eyes flickered slightly when she saw Ye Qingbai sitting awkwardly on the sofa.

"Shanshan is back?" When Old Master Lu saw Lu Shan come in, he greeted her with a kind smile.

Now, when he sees his granddaughter, he feels not only deep helplessness but also heartache.

I feel so sorry for her, having to endure so much pain and suffering all by herself.

I feel sorry for her; she was prepared to dedicate her entire life to her previous relationship.

"Grandpa, I'm back."

She walked over, met Ye Qingbai's gaze, and said calmly, "Little Ye is here too."

His heart raced when he heard her speak to him. He nervously scratched his head and hurriedly said, "I'm leaving tomorrow too, so I came to say goodbye to everyone."

The main reason was to say goodbye to her.

Upon hearing this, Lu Shan casually asked, "Is your vacation over too?"

"Yes, it's over. I'll go back tomorrow, and I won't be back until next year."

Ultimately, a pang of sadness suddenly swept through his heart.

The next time I see her will be next year.

Perhaps, by then, she will have forgotten all about him.

Perhaps when we meet again next year, she will have reunited with the person she has been holding in her heart...
