After the Divorce, I Could Hear the Voice of the Future-Chapter 339 - 336: Career Comes First_3
Lu Liang held Su Wanyu’s hand and chuckled, "Don’t feel burdened, I’ll be purchasing some properties here in the future, and I might need your help managing them. Having ties overseas can prevent us from being wiped out in one fell swoop."
Su Wanyu was momentarily stunned. "Have you sensed something?"
Entrepreneurs from East Country, even if they were flamboyant in their early years, would eventually mellow out.
It was tied to the ancient traditions, as the saying goes, "The nail that sticks out gets hammered down."
In recent years, when it came to being conspicuous, Lu Liang considered himself second to none, and doubted anyone would dare claim to be first.
"Nothing for the time being, just preparing for unforeseen needs," Lu Liang smiled, tousling Su Wanyu’s hair, asking her not to worry too much.
Su Wanyu fell silent for a long while before asking again, "And our baby, have you thought of a name for her?"
The child would be born in Edinburgh and probably acquire British citizenship first, with a chance to choose again before turning 18. In the past few days, what they discussed most was the baby’s name.
Lu Liang said, "Let’s call her Siqing, Su Siqing."
He chuckled again, "But not the ’qing’ from emotion, as that feels a bit sad, but the ’qing’ from a sunny day."
Lu Liang was not opposed to the child not having his surname. A surname didn’t represent much, as families with different surnames were common in his country.
"Okay," Su Wanyu couldn’t help but smile, recalling Zheng Xiaoxuan, who also seemed a bit sad when she first heard the name.
At five in the afternoon, Lu Liang and Su Wanyu invited Zheng Xiaoxuan to dinner.
Lu Liang raised his glass solemnly, "Xiaoxuan, I’m about to catch a flight to Tokyo; I’m entrusting Yu to your care."
Although investigations suggested Zheng Xiaoxuan might be a lesbian, after several interactions, he seriously doubted whether Zhuo Yifan’s investigation was incorrect, or perhaps Xiaoxuan’s lesbian tendencies weren’t that obvious.
All in all, there was no need to worry about Su Wanyu being whisked away by her in the short term; Zheng Xiaoxuan was trustworthy.
"You don’t need to say it, I would do so anyway," Zheng Xiaoxuan snorted, her expression revealing delight.
Lu Liang simply smiled and didn’t say much more, calling over Xu Jiawei and pulling out a document to hand to Su Wanyu.
Su Wanyu nodded, accepted the document, and tidied up Lu Liang’s clothes, reluctant to part, "Remember to message me when you land, okay~"
"I know, no need to see me off."
In front of Zheng Xiaoxuan, Lu Liang bit Su Wanyu’s red lips, causing her face to flush.
With a look of longing, Zheng Xiaoxuan watched as Lu Liang left in his car, and she curiously asked, "Where have you two been these past days?"
"We went to the university, to the seaside, and to Holyrood Park..."
Su Wanyu passionately shared the memories of the places they had visited together, suddenly pulling out the document Lu Liang had given her.
"Liang said this is for you, so you won’t be mad at him anymore."
It was an honorary certificate from the University of Edinburgh, issued not only to Zheng Xiaoxuan but to Su Wanyu as well.
They had visited the university the day before, and Lu Liang, wielding his financial power, donated 2 million British Pounds in their names for campus construction.
Securing a full scholarship was nearly a certainty, and applying for government-funded study abroad or a PhD would be as easy as drinking water.
"The wicked capitalist."
Zheng Xiaoxuan looked indignant, feeling powerless.
The direct donation in her name left her with no way to refuse.
"Oh, come on, don’t be like that. Liang also wants to ease the tension between you two."
Hugging Zheng Xiaoxuan’s arm, Su Wanyu cooed, "Next year or the year after, you could apply to study abroad at East Country. I’ll take you to my hometown then; it’s got lots of delicious food and fun places. It’s not far from your ancestral home, just 200 kilometers away."
"You’ve defeated me," sighed Zheng Xiaoxuan.
Looking at the incredibly cheerful Su Wanyu, her joy overcame any resentment toward Lu Liang, and she couldn’t help but stroke her cheek.
"Let’s go. I’ll show you; Liang just bought an apartment not far ahead. Xiaoxuan, you should move in and live with me."
Su Wanyu beamed, feeling that something was a bit strange, their closeness seemingly a bit too intimate, but she didn’t think much of it.
Zheng Xiaoxuan smiled and said, "Then pick a big room for me. As long as you don’t kick me out, I’ll always be with you."
Liking someone and being liked, sometimes are not the same.
Li Shihao’s liking meant that if he saw someone could provide the happiness he couldn’t, he would let go and leave.
Zheng Xiaoxuan’s liking meant she would always silently protect by one’s side, forever, never leaving.
