In the evening of the next day, Li Yueqi personally went to the entrance of the Presidential Palace to pick up Lu Banxia after get off work.
He booked a private room in Mingruo Pavilion, which shows that the person he wants Lu Banxia to meet has a noble status and extraordinary status, and he attaches great importance to it.
While the car was on the road, Lu Banxia took advantage of this gap to still deal with emails. Li Yueqi's faint eyes glanced at her, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
As the secretary-general, she is busier than the president!
She complained deep down in her heart, but she didn't stop her or show any displeasure.
The elevator in the underground parking lot of Mingruo Pavilion went straight to the private room floor. After the elevator dinged, two silver doors slowly opened. Li Yueqi took Lu Banxia's hand and walked towards the reserved private room.
When Lu Banxia opened the door, he saw the person sitting in the main seat, and a hint of surprise flashed across his calm expression.
The man was not surprised at all when he saw Lu Banxia, and pursed his thin lips into a kind smile: "Here he comes."
"Dad, you came so early." Li Yueqi said calmly, with awe in his eyes.
Lu Banxia's eyes were even more surprised. His parents were not dead, so how could the man in front of him be his father?
"The secretary-general doesn't recognize me anymore?" He stood up and spoke in a low voice.
Lu Banxia came back to her senses and bowed respectfully: "Judge Murong, I can't forget it even if I want to!"
Just so unexpected!
Murong Zhuang, the most authoritative judge of the world-renowned International Court of Justice, is actually Li Yueqi's father!
"I am my father's adopted son." Li Yueqi explained to her in a low voice.
Lu Banxia understood slightly. No wonder she always felt that Li Yueqi's behavior was very similar to Murong Zhuang's. The same low-key, the same star and leader in the legal world!
It turns out that the person who adopted Li Yueqi and educated him was such an outstanding man as Murong Zhuang!
Murong Zhuang did not have the solemnity and solemnity in the court. After years of erosion, his handsome face was full of the charm of a mature man. "I should have come to see you a long time ago. I have no choice but to have a lot of things. I hope you don't mind."
!”
He took out a red envelope from his arms and handed it to Lu Banxia: "A belated gift."
Lu Banxia didn't show any pretense, took it directly, picked up the tea on the table and handed it to him: "Thank you, Dad."
Murong Zhuang was very fond of her elegant and generous manners, and the light in his eyes could not hide his admiration, "Sit down, today is a home-cooked meal, no need to be restrained!"
Lu Banxia nodded and sat down with Li Yueqi.
Murong Zhuang's words were true, but Lu Banxia felt a little uneasy when he was sitting in front of him at the moment when he was a world-renowned judge and her husband's adoptive father.
This is the first time that Li Yueqi introduces his relatives to him, which is really unexpected!
The dinner went on without incident. The two legal elites sat together and inevitably talked about the laws of various countries. Occasionally, they talked about politics. When they realized Lu Banxia's embarrassing identity, they immediately changed the topic.
During this period, Li Yueqi took great care of her. While talking, he also laid out dishes for her, added water, and took napkins for her naturally.
When she met her parents for the first time, Lu Banxia had a few drinks. She was not ostentatious, not forceful, not humble, and did not try to please. She made advances and retreats, which made Murong Zhuang more and more satisfied. She repeatedly said that the wife Li Yueqi chose was the best.
It was the first time that Lu Banxia was praised so much by an elder. Her pink cheeks couldn't help but turn red under the orange light. She was too drunk and used the excuse to go to the bathroom to get some fresh air.
When Murong Zhuang saw the door closed, the smile on his face disappeared, and his voice was so calm that no emotion could be heard: "Is she that child of the Lu family?"
Li Yueqi nodded and acknowledged.
"She knows?"
"I don't know yet." Li Yueqi saw him mention it, but he didn't hide it.
Murong Zhuang frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with his handling of the matter, "Are you planning to keep it a secret?"
Li Yueqi remained silent, neither admitting nor denying.
"This child is good, don't hurt her!" Murong Zhuang said solemnly, he really liked this child Lu Banxia.
When Li Yueqi told him that he had been married to Lu Banxia for three years, Murong Zhuang was so angry that he almost fainted! Li Yueqi actually hid such a big thing from him for three years!
Over the years, he has known more or less about the Lu family, and has heard a little bit about Lu Banxia. He is also quite satisfied with her performance in the political arena. He occasionally talks to people and thinks highly of Lu Banxia.
"...Dad!" Li Yueqi spoke in a low voice, his eyes fell on the wine glass in front of him, and he held it clean. "I never wanted to hurt her!"
Murong Zhuang looked startled, then realized and nodded: "That's good. You are old, I can't interfere with anything, but I hope you can remember what I once said to you! Don't involve innocent people, the past has passed.
!”
"I know." Li Yueqi looked up at him and said seriously, "Thank you for coming to see us! Bless us!"
If it wasn't for Lu Banxia's peace of mind, he had no intention of telling Murong Zhuang about their marriage. He didn't tell Murong Zhuang because he knew Murong Zhuang would not agree.
Now, the deal is done, Murong Zhuang Qi is back, but it will not stop him from marrying Pinellia!
Murong Zhuang sighed, a trace of helplessness flashed in his deep and dark eyes. He did not expect that Li Yueqi would find out about what he had concealed for so many years, and he did not expect that he would find out far more than he knew...
"Is it true that I heard that Ji Yerong is dead?" Li Yueqi changed the subject. The news of Ji Yerong's death shocked the world. The Presidential Office of Country M has issued a statement, but he still felt that it was not true.
Murong Zhuang nodded, "Yes."
"She was a rare genius and Madam's good friend. This death may be..." Li Yueqi started to speak but stopped talking.
"You don't have to probe me. This matter has nothing to do with Mrs. Yun!" Murongzhuang knew that Li Yueqi was spying on the Long Pei family. Mrs. Yun and Ji Yerong had a long-standing grudge. No one in this world
Mrs. Biyun hopes Ji Yerong will die even more.
Gu Mingxi is Mrs. Yun's daughter, but Ji Yerong is Gu Mingxi's best friend. The entanglement is extremely complicated...
Now that Murong Zhuang said this, Li Yueqi breathed a sigh of relief: "It would be better if it wasn't Mrs. Yun."
Madam will not be embarrassed, Your Excellency will not be troubled!
"Ji Yerong's death was because you wanted to send her as a hostage to the drug syndicate in exchange for antidote to save the president's wife and the crown prince in her belly!" Everyone in the outside world has believed that Ji Yerong died to wipe out the drug syndicate. Only
Very few people know that she was sacrificed by Your Excellency. Murong Zhuang paused and then said: "Aunt Yun, you are not a cruel person!"
Li Yueqi pursed his lips and said nothing. When he was taken to Country M by Murong Zhuang, he had met Yun Yingluo once. She had a beautiful face and a noble and elegant temperament. She did not seem to be a cruel person.
I heard that Ji Yerong died tragically. Except for a toe, a tooth, and some hair, the rest were all blown to pieces, not even a whole body!
Such a vicious thing should not be something that Mrs. Yun can do!
"M Country is not at peace these days, so please don't go over there, and don't continue with the child's matter, so as not to get into trouble!" As an elder, you can't help but worry about your younger generation and give them nagging advice.
"I know what I know!" Li Yueqi nodded, accepted his concern, paused for a moment, and said, "Dad, since country M is not at peace, you should not go there. Stay in country C, and our family can do it."
Get together often."
He selfishly thought of leaving Murong Zhuang in Country C, firstly to ease the relationship between him and Banxia, and secondly because Banxia lacked the care of his elders, and he believed that Murong Zhuang could make up for the fatherly love Banxia had never had.
Murong Zhuang is an elder, a wise man, a teacher and a friend. I believe he and Banxia will get along very well!
How could Murong Zhuang not see through his intentions and shook his head: "I'm not worried about leaving Aunt Yun alone in Country M!"
Murong Zhuang has been alone all these years, devoting himself wholeheartedly to his career. Only Li Yueqi knows who his heart is for. Even if it is a long wait, Murong Zhuang will wait without regrets.
No matter when, no matter what happens, as long as Aunt Yun needs her, he will definitely return to Aunt Yun without hesitation.
Li Yueqi knew that he could not persuade him, so he did not force it. After all, Murongzhuang had been waiting for so many years, and finally Aunt Yun was willing to let him stay, which was considered a progress.
If we can't love each other, then it's good to know each other and think about each other closely.
****
Standing outside the door, Lu Banxia's slender fingers were frozen on the metal. She didn't mean to eavesdrop on their conversation, but Murong Zhuang's words, "Don't continue about that child, or you'll get into trouble!"
She heard it and stood at the door for a moment, neither entering nor retreating.
The so-called "child" in Murong Zhuang's mouth refers to - Lu Zijin?
Could it be that his contact with Lu Zijin was because of Murong Zhuang's relationship?
There was no sound coming from the box for a long time. Lu Banxia was worried that if she continued to stand here, Li Yueqi would come out to look for him, which would make it even more embarrassing, so he simply pushed the door open and entered.
His expression was as indifferent as ever, as if nothing had happened.
The same goes for Murong Zhuang and Li Yueqi, as if they were really just chatting and didn't say anything.
After the meal, Lu Banxia proposed to drive Murong Zhuang back to the hotel, but Murong Zhuang refused and took a taxi to leave.
Li Yueqi drank some wine and was inconvenient to drive. Lu Banxia drank less and was too lazy to call for a driver, so he drove him back.
After returning home, Li Yueqi was thirsty. Lu Banxia poured him water and said casually: "Will Dad stay here for a few more days?"
"No." Li Yueqi took the water glass she handed over, took a big sip and said, "Besides his career, Dad's only concern is Aunt Yun. Although we are said to be father and son, I was sent to the United States when I was very young, so we
We didn’t spend much time together, but he is a very good person.”
"Is it because of Mrs. Yun from country M that he has never married?" When mentioning Aunt Yun, she thought of the scandal between Mrs. Yun and Murong Zhuang that had been spread in country M in the early years. She didn't expect it to be true!
Li Yueqi held the water glass in his hand and looked at her with slightly drunken eyes: "You are very interested in dad's affairs!"
Lu Banxia said calmly: "I admire men who are kind to their feelings."
Li Yueqi knew that she was teasing him, but he was not angry. He took her soft hand and rubbed it carefully, with a hoarse voice: "Xia Xia, how do you know that I don't take relationships seriously?"
Lu Banxia withdrew her hand and said, "I don't know." She once thought he was, but now, she is no longer sure and can't believe it.
Once bitten by a snake, I will be afraid of ropes for ten years, let alone feelings.
"Xia Xia..." There was obvious emotion in the low and hoarse voice. After all, they had been married for three years, and Lu Banxia knew that he wanted it now.
They stepped back, distanced themselves from each other, and said with an indifferent expression: "You are still in the observation period, so sleep in separate rooms."
Li Yueqi frowned, "How long?"
"Three months."
"One month." Three months is too long. He can't wait!
"Four months!"
"Two months!"
"five……"
"Forget it, two and a half months!" Li Yueqi interrupted her, feeling as if she had returned to the time before liberation, "This is already my bottom line, no more!"
Lu Banxia was silent for a while and agreed: "Good night."
When the sound fell, he turned around and left.
"...Xia Xia!"
Lu Banxia just stopped when she heard the voice, and when she turned around, a soft touch brushed against her lips, and a hoarse voice full of temptation rang in her ears: "Good night, Xia Xia."
My heart couldn't help but tremble.
This man always knows how to seduce himself.
Without saying a word, he turned around and left without even looking at him, for fear of revealing the timidity and hesitation in his eyes.
Li Yueqi looked at her back and walked towards the previous room, sighing silently. All the efforts he had made before were in vain. Lu Banxia was finally willing to show his sincerity, but he immediately took it back, and even collected it more than before.
It's tighter and won't let him touch it.
As smart as he was, he also knew that Lu Banxia might just be angry for a moment. If he forced her, she might not refuse. She was unwilling before, but she still didn't give in under his few words.
Now, he just doesn't want to force her in that way. What he wants is her willingness and the two people's mutual understanding.
The miscarriage and Lu Zijin's incident happened not long ago, and she still needs some time to calm down and forget about it.
He can wait for three years, but he won't be unable to wait for two and a half months.
Even if he doesn't believe in Lu Banxia, he should believe in himself.
Since he can rise from an orphan with nothing to become a gold medal lawyer in the legal world, he will surely be able to aspire to the highest and most precious position in Lu Banxia's heart.
Whether it was Lu Chuan or Bai Ziyan, even if they had taken root in her heart, he would pull them out of her heart one by one, so that every inch and every foot of her heart would only contain him.
Only yourself!

Lu Banxia received a call from Murong Zhuang four days later, because he was leaving to return to country M and wanted to invite her to dinner.
Li Yueqi happened to have a lawsuit to go to court and was unable to leave, so he entrusted Banxia to have dinner with Murongzhuang alone and take him to the airport for him.
Lu Banxia had no room for refusal. After finishing the matters at hand, he went to the place agreed with Murong Zhuang.
