Chapter 232: It’s My Pleasure
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
At this moment, Lu An comforted Jin Nian instead, “It’s already over.”
Jin Nian stood up and helped Lu An pack his luggage. “Hurry up and go take a look. If someone close to the old lady visits her at this time, she must be very happy.”
Jin Nian was busy packing luggage. She looked very virtuous. She found him a suitcase and clothes for the season.
Jin Nian was indeed very good at taking care of her daily life. Whether it was in her rented apartment or at home, she could always tidy up her place.
Lu An also liked to see her busy. After looking at her for a while, he said proudly, “There’s no need to tidy up. My things are all over there.”
“Lu An! Why didn’t you say so earlier?” Jin Nian threw Lu An’s things aside and started to pack her things.
“What are you doing?” Lu An was a little surprised.
“Of course, I’m packing my things.” Jin Nian said matter-of-factly, “Grandma’s injury is a big deal. No matter what, I should go and take a look.”
“Do you want to go?”
“Of course.” Jin Nian tilted her head. “Don’t you want me to go?”
“How is that possible?” Lu An carried Jin Nian. “It’s my pleasure.”
This time, Jin Nian didn’t feel uncomfortable coming to Hong Kong.
Many years ago, Jin Nian came to Hong Kong alone. The memory of that time was firmly imprinted in her mind. The memory overlapped with the reality in front of her. She felt as if it was a lifetime ago.
The people around her were all speaking Cantonese, but the tone here was a little different from that in Guangdong. Although Jin Nian couldn’t understand it, she often heard Lu An speak it so she could tell the difference between Guangdong Cantonese and Hong Kong Cantonese.
They usually used traditional Chinese characters here. She was not used to it at first, but after reading it for a while, she could basically recognize the characters.
After the plane landed, Lu An seemed to be afraid that Jin Nian would get lost and be kidnapped. He held her hand tightly along the way.
Outside the airport, the Lu family’s chauffeur was already waiting. Lu An held Jin Nian’s hand and got into the car.
The temperature in Hong Kong was a few degrees higher than in Binhai. Lu An was wearing Jin Nian’s knitted jacket on his arm, while he was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt.
When Jin Nian returned to the old place, the bad memories in her mind did not cause trouble. Instead, they stayed in her mind obediently and were even cured. All of this was because Lu An was by her side and she felt very safe.
After getting into the car, Lu An asked the driver to drive slowly and take a detour around Port Victoria. He was like a tour guide, patiently introducing the place to Jin Nian along the way.
Hong Kong was an internationally renowned city. Even though some of the facilities were old due to the long construction period, it did not affect the prosperity of the city.
Jin Nian was half-hugged in Lu An’s arms. His magnetic and gentle voice rang in her ears. “Are you tired?”
Jin Nian shook her head, indicating that she wasn’t tired.
The plane went straight to Hong Kong. She only needed to sleep for less than three hours on the plane. Jin Nian had only woken up when she was about to get off the plane. She was not fully awake yet. She still had the drowsiness from when she had just woken up. Her bangs were hanging down obediently, and she looked extremely obedient.
Lu An gently pecked Jin Nian’s face. “I’ve sent the others away in advance. We’ll leave after we visit grandmother. I’ll bring you out for dinner tonight and take a look around Mongjiao.”
Jin Nian nodded and yawned slowly.
Lu An rubbed his face against Jin Nian’s. “Are you still sleepy?”
Jin Nian fell into Lu An’s arms like a cat. “I’m fine, but I’m a little nervous. By the way, is your father here too?”
No matter what, this was Jin Nian’s first time meeting Lu An’s family in Hong Kong.
In Jin Nian’s heart, the Lu family was quite mysterious.
Lu An rarely talked about his family in Hong Kong in front of Jin Nian even though he spent almost every winter and summer vacation here. Jin Nian had asked her about it out of curiosity. Only later did she find out that Lu An’s grandfather had passed away. Only his grandmother was still alive. Lu An’s parents had already separated and formed two different families.
Lu An and his father, Lu Zhengze, had a normal father-son relationship. There was no reason for the two of them to have a serious fight. It was also not like the scene in television dramas where a father and son from a wealthy family met and the atmosphere was filled with smoke. Every time Lu An returned to Hong Kong, Lu Zhengze would spare some time to have a meal with him no matter how busy he was.
If there was anything imperfect about this father-and-son pair, it would be that they were relatively unfamiliar with each other.
The number of times Lu An met Lu Zhengze in a year could be counted on one hand. There were so few opportunities for them to meet and interact. How could they become close?
As for the other uncles and aunts of the Lu family, Lu An didn’t plan to introduce them to Jin Nian. He felt that these people were strangers to her. After Jin Nian married him, there was no need for her to befriend these people.
Therefore, Lu An called his family before he came to Hong Kong. His request was very simple. He didn’t want anyone else to be present when he brought his wife back. He was afraid that it would scare his wife..
