Chapter 1056: Chapter 1061: A Forced Melon Is Not Sweet
"So you’re Ke-kun, right? I’ve heard about you and am glad to finally meet you today," Chen Yiling greeted amiably.
Luo Qingfeng had always called her a crazy girl, but after meeting her, she felt that Luo Qingfeng’s description was an exaggeration.
Most importantly, wasn’t she actually very quiet?
Lu Kejun nodded, "I’m pleased to meet you all, but I’ve received word that there’s an issue at home, and I must leave immediately."
She already knew that Luo Qingfeng and Bai Yifan were a couple, so she no longer had any reason to stay.
Besides, leaving this place of heartache would allow her to find a better life.
"Why so sudden?" Qiao Duo’er asked.
She glared at Luo Qingfeng, certain that he had annoyed Lu Kejun.
But Luo Qingfeng seemed not to feel it and just continued to play with Tangyuan around Bai Yifan.
Lu Kejun forced a smile, "I hadn’t expected to leave so soon either, but I hope we’ll have the chance to meet again in the future."
"Lunchtime is approaching, why not stay for lunch before you go?"
"Of course, I’d like that. I’ll go pack my things now."
Lu Kejun’s mouth curved into a smile, yet it inexplicably seemed somewhat oppressive.
After he left, Chen Yiling tugged on Luo Qingfeng’s ear, "Did you do something to upset her?"
"No... nope, look, you all have been through this; don’t you know that love has to be mutual? What’s the point of forced affection?"
To save his own ears, Luo Qingfeng immediately confessed.
Qiao Duo’er pulled Chen Yiling back, "He makes sense; a melon forced off its vine isn’t sweet."
So they should respect Luo Qingfeng’s choice.
Though she also thought Luo Qingfeng had really poor taste.
"You’ll be on child-watching duty at noon to prevent any further upset when she sees you," said Chen Yiling as she let go of Luo Qingfeng’s ear but without making things easier for him.
She knew that affection couldn’t be forced, but men should take on more responsibility, and even if they weren’t interested, they shouldn’t make a girl so sad.
Bai Yifan couldn’t help but gloat, "I like this plan, someone needs to teach him a lesson."
"I find it agreeable."
Luo Qingfeng willingly accepted, especially since he felt guilty upon seeing Lu Kejun, and thought that the best solution was to stay out of each other’s sight forever.
Qin Longyun added a warning, "You better handle this responsibly because if something goes wrong, I won’t be able to save you."
Ever since his wife had given birth, she had become much fiercer, and he didn’t dare say a word against her.
"Leave it to me," Luo Qingfeng said, patting his chest confidently.
The child sleeping would be ideal; if not, he’d have to soothe him. In any case, it was still better than being with Lu Kejun.
Lu Kejun returned to her room and ordered the Shadow Guard to pack, while she herself lay across the dressing table.
Looking at herself in the mirror, she became lost in thought.
She admitted that the man named Bai Yifan was handsome, but she wasn’t lacking either. What kind of magic did he possess that had Luo Qingfeng so bewitched?
"A Mei, do you really think I’m that bad?" Lu Kejun asked listlessly.
A Mei hastily replied, "Miss, what are you saying? You’re intelligent and beautiful, and you’ll be the future master of Red Cloud Villa; how could that have anything to do with being bad?"
In the entire Daxing Dynasty, countless people would envy her mistress.
But being born well is a skill, and envying doesn’t make it so.
Lu Kejun sighed again. She used to think so too, but now she was no longer sure.
"Miss, has something happened?" A Mei asked with concern.
