Chapter 132 - 132 Birthday Party

132 Birthday Party

Lu Qing had sent her to the entrance and was about to leave, when Lù Yue’an suddenly grabbed his arm. “Brother, I know you have something on, but can you wait for a while and watch me cut the cake before leaving? In the past, all of you were with me, but now there’s all these unfamiliar people here so I’m a little afraid. Brother, can you stay with me for a while more?”

As she spoke her eyes turned red, brimming with tears.

Lu Qing was a little reluctant, but when he checked the time it was already past the agreed timing…

Lù Yue’an grabbed his sleeve and bit her lower lip pitifully.

“Brother, this is the first time I’m not celebrating my birthday by your side. You always used to sing me birthday songs; you don’t have to sing this time, but can you watch me cut the cake and officially celebrate my eighteenth birthday before leaving? I’ll come of age and become an adult today, so I hope you can stay by my side and witness this.”

Her voice was choked with sobs. When she looked up at Lu Qing, a teardrop fell.

Lu Qing wiped her tears away. “Alright, I’ll watch you cut the cake before you leave.”

Lù Yue’an immediately broke into a smile. “Really? Thank you, Brother!”

Someone ran over anxiously from beside the car.

“Young Mistress! Young Mistress, please tell me you’re back!”

Hearing this, Lù Yue’an promptly opened the car door. “It’s me.”

“Young Mistress, hurry and tidy yourself up, it’s about to start. The Old Master and everyone else are looking for you.”

Lù Yue’an instantly got out of the car. “I’ll go right away.” She turned to the car and looked at Lu Qing. “Brother…”

Lu Qing opened the car door and got out.

The maid immediately said, “I’ll bring Mr. Lu over. Miss, go tidy up first, they’re all waiting for you.”

Lù Yue’an nodded hurriedly. She lifted her skirt and ran inside; as she ran, she turned around and told Lu Qing worriedly, “Brother, go on first, I’ll be there soon. You can’t leave early! You have to watch me cut the cake before leaving! Promise!”

Lu Qing nodded at her, saying nothing.

The maid looked at Lu Qing.

“Mr. Lu, please come with me. Leave the car here, someone will park it for you.”

The maid brought Lu Qing through the Lù residence.

The banquet was held in a villa next to the Lù residence, and they were connected to each other.

Whenever there was a banquet, they would invite the guests to the villa here.

When the maid brought Lu Qing in, she deliberately skirted close to the side, as if to avoid attracting attention.

Lu Qing looked at her and scowled slightly, but he did not say anything. He followed behind her silently.

Eventually, the maid brought him to the banquet hall. Almost everyone was already here, and it was almost time for Lù Yue’an to make her entrance.

The maid arranged for Lu Qing to be seated in the furthest corner and even had the wine brought to him. “Mr. Lu, please let me know if you need anything, I’ll help you fetch it. You don’t have to walk around.”

Lu Qing glanced at her, and nodded without saying anything.

Does she mean I’m not to move about casually? And to have me seated in this corner, is she afraid that someone would discover that I’m here?

Lu Qing surveyed the people in the banquet hall.

There were a lot of people, and almost all the famous and influential people in A City were here.

All of them were dressed in stylish and elegant clothes. They stood around in bunches of two or three, and chatted.

Lu Qing stood there and watched on in silence. He took a deep breath and raised his hand to look at his watch.

It’s already seven o’clock. Lu Ning should be home by now…

As he thought this, the lights in the banquet hall dimmed.

At the top of the stairs on the second floor stood the beautiful and elegant Lù Yue’an, who was already dressed up. The spotlights shone on her, making her look like a princess…
