Chapter 273 - Chapter 273: Little Rabbit Lantern
Ren Xue watched as Meng Wan left and kindly reminded her, “Meng Wan isn’t a good person. You have to be careful and tell Yinyin to be careful.”
Even if Lu Ming didn’t say who he liked, everyone knew that Lu Ming had been close to the eldest daughter of the Su Family, Lin Yin.
Moreover, according to Lu Yan, Meng Wan had seen Lin Yin before and had even been slapped by her.
Meng Wan had not made a move all this time, so she must be afraid of Lu Ming.
However, if Meng Wan became reckless, Lin Yin would probably be caught off guard.
Lu Ming’s eyes darkened a few degrees before he said in a low voice, “Thank you, Second Sister-in-law. I understand.”
When Lu Yan heard this, she quickly jumped up. “Could it be that she dares to lay her hands on Yinyin?”
Ren Xue pressed down on Lu Yan, who was like a monkey, and said, “Be quiet. Anyway, it’s good to be careful.”
During the Lantern Festival, Lu Yan asked Lin Yin out to watch the lantern show.
In the end, just as Lu Yan grabbed Lin Yin’s hand, she was taken away by Ren Xue and her husband, who Lu Ming had brought with him.
Lu Yan said with a dissatisfied expression, “Am I being used by him again? He asked me to ask Yinyin out, and then he brought the two of you along to bring me away? So that he can create a chance for him to be alone with Yinyin?”
Ren Xue smiled and said in surprise, “Looks like our Xiao Yan has become smarter.”
Lu Yan’s mood instantly turned bad.
Lu Jin persuaded from the side, “Your uncle isn’t young anymore. Help him. When your uncle and Yinyin get married, you’ll have a playmate when you return to the old residence for the New Year.’
Lu Yan’s eyes instantly lit up. That made sense!
In the past, Lu Yue and Lu Xiao were her only peers in the old residence. The two of them were still from the same family and often bullied her.
If she could bring Yinyin home, it would be amazing in the future.
Yinyin’s seniority was higher than Lu Yue and Lu Xiao’s. When the time came, she would suppress the two of them and watch the commotion from the side.
Thinking about it, Lu Yan felt wonderful. She wished Lu Ming could marry Lin Yin now and bring her home.
On the other side, Lu Ming was holding Lin Yin’s hand. The two of them squeezed into a small corridor filled with riddles.
“Yinyin, I’ll get you a bunny lantern,” Lu Ming told Lin Yin.
Perhaps she was used to being bored alone, Lin Yin was not too interested in these things that were for entertainment.
Lin Yin waved her hand and wanted to say no, but Lu Ming seemed to be interested and had already started reading the riddle.
Lin Yin followed behind Lu Ming quietly and watched as he revealed the answers one by one. Then, he brought the little rabbit lantern to Lin Yin.
Lin Yin teased, “Uncle actually likes to play this?”
Lu Ming smiled and placed the little rabbit lantern in Lin Yin’s hand. He looked at Lin Yin lovingly and said gently, “I didn’t like it at first, but I’m happy with you by my side, so I like it.”
Lin Yin was a little helpless to be suddenly told such sweet nothings. She lowered her eyes and looked at their shoes that were close to each other.
Lu Ming chuckled and pulled Lin Yin’s free hand. The two of them strolled along the brightly lit old street.
After passing through the busy streets, Lu Ming pulled Lin Yin to a bridge.
The bridge was filled with couples holding hands.
Lu Ming did not look at Lin Yin. Instead, he said in his magnetic voice, ‘Yinyin, this bridge is the lovers’ bridge of this area. There’s a temple opposite called the Moon Temple. It’s said that when a couple crosses this bridge hand in hand, goes to the temple to pray for a good marriage, and kisses on the bridge, they will be together for a long time and never be separated.”
Lin Yin looked up at the men and women coming and going on the bridge, holding hands. There were also one or two couples who ignored everyone’s gazes and kissed each other. She asked curiously, “Do you really believe this?”
Lu Ming pondered for a moment and said with a smile, “As long as we can be together for a long time and never be separated, I’ll believe it. I won’t believe it if it says that we’re not fated or something bad.”
Lin Yin was amused by Lu Ming’s words. “So, you’re choosing to believe in what you want to believe?”
Lu Ming turned to look at Lin Yin. His eyes looked deep and mysterious in the darkness, and there was even a hint of emotion that Lin Yin yearned for. Was it love?
Lin Yin was shocked by her guess and mocked herself. What was she thinking?
Lu Ming might just like her, but she actually thought of love.. Wasn’t she being a little delusional?
