Unveil Her Secret Identities-Chapter 531【Selling Freedom】Small Shop_1

Lu Yao held Yao Meishu’s ashes in his hand, his lips trembling slightly and his face filled with sorrow.

Over two decades of love was over; Yao Meishu was gone, and his heart was empty, completely empty.

All that was left were his children.

Lu Jiayue was crying, her eyes were swollen red, she covered her face and cried bitterly.

Despite all her faults, she was excellent when it came to familial love, she genuinely loved her parents, even though she had been selfish too.

Lu Jiahao had red eyes, but not a single tear fell.

As the saying goes, ’A man doesn’t shed tears easily.’ He kept all the pain in his heart.

Gu Yansi’s expression was faint, also affected by the sad atmosphere, she felt a little sad inside.

Lu Qingyi kept her hands in her pockets, her face indifferent as if this had nothing to do with her. But in fact, she was a little upset inside; after all, her heart was not made of iron.

The woman she erroneously recognized as her mother for nearly twenty years was gone, she was not indifferent to Yao Meishu’s death. It was just that she kept her feelings inside, uttering harsh words on the outside.

"My condolences."

The people from the crematorium bowed to Lu Yao and spoke slowly.

They had seen too many separations brought about by death and were numb to it.

"Let’s go. My condolences."

Lu Qingyi said to Lu Jiahao, and then she left first, her retreating figure appearing nonchalant.

After leaving the crematorium, the cold expression on Lu Qingyi’s face subsided, replaced by a hint of sorrow.

No feelings?

Of course she had some.

Her heart ached a little.

She might proclaim she had no feelings, but the heart doesn’t lie, she did care to some extent.

"Child, don’t be sad, I’m here."

Xu Boyan came at some point, he hugged Lu Qingyi into his arms, his hand gently rested on her head as he comforted her softly.

He understood Lu Qingyi better than he understood himself.

"I’m fine."

Lu Qingyi shook her head and replied slowly.

"I’ll take you to eat something delicious."

Xu Boyan lightly tapped Lu Qingyi’s nose, speaking with a doting voice.

It was easy to comfort this child. Though Lu Qingyi might appear aloof and cold, a good meal or a piece of candy could bring her cheer.

His child was cold on the outside but warm and gentle inside.

"Okay."

Lu Qingyi placed her hand in Xu Boyan’s and smiled at him.

Having Xu Boyan was enough.

She was happy and content now, with Xu Boyan doting on her and tolerating all her little quirks.

"Xu Boyan, will you ever get tired of me?"

Without driving, the two walked hand in hand. All of a sudden, Lu Qingyi asked this question.

Could long-term relationships fade? Lu Qingyi wondered if there would ever come such a day for Xu Boyan.

"No way. My child is so charming."

Xu Boyan let out a light laugh, gently ruffling Lu Qingyi’s hair, speaking with undeniable tenderness.

Impossible.

He could get tired of anything, but never of his girl. In his entire life, it would not be possible. His love for her would only grow stronger.

The child he had finally wooed must be cherished well.

"Where are we going?" fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Lu Qingyi asked.

"A new little restaurant that just opened. The food there is not bad."

Xu Boyan replied softly.

There was no doubt the place they were going was somewhere that sold food Lu Qingyi liked to eat.

In the bustling city, the two walked hand in hand. Passers-by were turning their heads, captivated by this high-profile couple.

A little restaurant opened in a prime location. It seemed to be newly renovated, everything was fresh and new.

The signboard was white, the words black, exceptionally eye-catching.

"Selling Freedom"

The name was also very attention-grabbing, offering a fresh perspective.

The restaurant wasn’t crowded, perhaps because it was newly opened, there weren’t many customers.

Lu Qingyi looked at Xu Boyan.

"It’s opened by Lu Zhizhou."

Xu Boyan said, his arm around Lu Qingyi.

"Selling Freedom."

It seemed quite appropriate for Lu Zhizhou.

She appeared free, but it seemed that she was also bound by something. She appeared gentle, but her character was not actually gentle.

People are free, but their hearts may not be as free.

Lu Qingyi and Xu Boyan walked in. The decoration inside the restaurant was novel.

The interior was spacious, with tables and chairs set in a random order, looking somewhat messy.

There were all kinds of things inside the restaurant.

"Buffet?"

Lu Qingyi glanced around, then turned to Xu Boyan and asked.

The way the food was displayed inside made it look like a buffet, but there were some things that were different.

"Yes, it’s the idea of freedom."

Xu Boyan nodded.

Eating at a buffet was a free choice - whatever you wanted to eat was available.

Many rare and expensive items were available here too. It seemed that Lu Zhizhou had put in a lot of effort.

Lu Zhizhou was sitting at the counter, she was focusing on calculating something, her expression concentrated.

"Qingyi, Xu Boyan."

She looked up and saw Lu Qingyi and Xu Boyan, she gave a smile and called their names to greet them.

"I happened to visit Aunt Xu yesterday, and met Xu Boyan. I thought it would be nice if he could bring you to my restaurant. I didn’t expect he would actually come," Lu Zhizhou walked up to them, took Lu Qingyi’s hand, and turned her back on Xu Boyan, completely ignoring him.

Her shop had nothing to do with Xu Boyan. She had said it politely, not expecting that he would really bring Lu Qingyi here.

She’d been planning to text Lu Qingyi that afternoon, to invite her to come the next day.

"The shop is nice. Is it expensive?"

Lu Qingyi looked around and asked slowly.

The decoration materials were all top-notch, worth a fortune. The food looked fresh, and there were many exquisite dishes and cakes. Surely, the price would not be cheap.

"88 per person, quite affordable for everyone. I didn’t open this shop to make a profit. Even if I lose money, it’s not a big problem, I can cover it,"

Lu Zhizhou shook her head. What she was not short of was money. Even if the shop lost money, it wasn’t a big issue for her, she could make up for the losses.

This shop was primarily a spiritual sustenance for her.

"Child, I have something to attend to at the company. I can’t accompany you now."

Xu Boyan received a phone call and then left. He gently rubbed Lu Qingyi’s head, his voice tender as always.

"You two are really in a good relationship."

Lu Zhizhou sighed, with a trace of complex emotions in her eyes.

"You carry someone in your heart."

Lu Qingyi looked at Lu Zhizhou. After a long silence, she said this sentence slowly.

When someone carries another in their heart, their eyes cannot lie, and neither can their inexplicable sadness.

Lu Zhizhou smiled faintly, the smile on her lips seemed a bit bitter.
