To Love You Again

Chapter 569 - Truce

The two were silent. Only the rhythmic tapping of their feet as they walked could be heard in the empty hallway.

Tang Yin thought of ways to break the ice with this oversensitive man.

She was the host after all and was also used to being active, so she should speak first.

"I would like to apologize--"

"I want to apologize--"

Tang Yin and Lu Yin Ze looked at each other, stunned.

Their steps halted as well.

After recovering, Lu Yin Ze gestured for Tang Yin to speak first. "Please feel free to speak first, Second Young Miss Tang."

"Ah, no. It's fine for me to hear you out first."

Since the lady had spoken, Lu Yin Ze took this chance to apologize. He stood in front of her and bowed. "I deeply apologize for ruining your concert. As a representative of the Lu family, please allow me to make amends."

Tang Yin waved her hand. "Ah, no, please don't say that. I should be the one apologizing! I would like to express my apologies in behalf of my grandmother. We have been too insensitive and invited... that person." Tang Yin did not now how to address Lu Yin Ze's father, Ming Zhi Yi.

Tang Yin knew the story why there was a grudge between Lu Yin Ze's father and Old Master Lu. Her grandmother undoubtedly knew it as well. Yet despite this, her grandmother still invited that man, even with Old Master Lu's presence.

Her grandmother had definitely done it on purpose. But knowing her grandmother who already pledged an alliance with the Lu's, she must have done it for the Lu family's sake.

"I don't know the exact reason for my grandmother's actions, but I know it is for the sake of the alliance. We don't mean any harm to the Lu family. Please believe in my grandmother. I hope you can forgive us."

Tang Yin bowed deeply.

She was very sincere. Earlier, she had also heard of a few rumors wherein some people doubted Mistress Tang's intentions towards Old Master Lu.

Even if her grandmother was planning to apologize to the Lu family, Tang Yin still felt the need to approach and express her own remorse, because the old man even collapsed in anger in the concert she held.

Lu Yin Ze stared at her lowered head for a moment, before he gently held her shoulder to hold her up.

"Do not worry, I understand. The Tang family is known for your stubbornness and loyalty. We don't doubt your family's intentions at all. We, the Lu family, are honored to have the Tang family stand on our side. We will not put the blame unreasonably to the Tang family. I know my grandfather will think the same way, too."

His soft voice made her look up. There was a gentle look on his face which showed that he truly did not blame them.

It was not like what she expected.

Tang Yin thought that Lu Yin Ze would blame her, based on their past inharmonious interactions.

But the man was actually acting very reasonably? He seemed quite understanding somehow?

For a moment, Lu Yin Ze did not look so bad in her eyes.

"Thank you." Tang Yin took a step back to escape from his hands. She smiled. "I am glad Second Young Master Lu have such thoughts."

She lowered her head again, this time to show her gratitude.

Lu Yin Ze did not speak about the matter anymore. Even though he wondered what was Mistress Tang's intentions in inviting his father, he knew that the Tang family did not bear them ill intention. He just left the matter as it is. The truth would come out once his grandfather woke up.

They continued walking.

Lu Yin Ze spoke. "Thank you for taking time to visit my grandfather."

"Oh, it is my duty. There's nothing to be grateful about it."

The two fell silent.

They were nearing the entrance to the hall.

Tang Yin thought about it for a while.

Actually, this Second Young Master Lu was not that bad. There were times when he was rude, but there were also many instances when he was gentle. Compared to other perverted young masters, this man was better.

They just met with bad impressions and started wrongly. Since the Tang family pledged alliance with the Lu family in assisting Lu Yin Ze to secure his inheritance, they were bound to meet a lot of times in the future.

Tang Yin then decided to step back and be the humble person.

Who told her to be such an understanding person? ┐(￣ヘ￣)┌

"About last time--" Tang Yin started.

"Hmm?"

"I was very rude to you last time. I was overwhelmed with emotions and said things that I shouldn't."

Lu Yin Ze was stunned.

Last time... It was about their little argument in the Tang's indoor garden.

The silver-haired young man looked away to the side, his cheeks turning a bit red.

That time, Lu Yin Ze was very emotional too. After not sleeping for a day when he came back home, he realized just how rude he had been. He failed to control his emotions and erupted without any image in front of a lady.

That was really embarrassing!

"I... I am sorry about that as well. It is totally childish of me to accuse you of something you are not." Remembering that he had initially thought that this lady liked him and was after him, Lu Yin Ze was once more full of shame.

Why the hell did he have such narcissistic thoughts!

Tang Yin saw his suspiciously red ears and the watery blue eyes swimming nervously to the side.

The gentleman who usually looked calm suddenly seemed like an innocent teenage boy at this moment.

"Pfft." Tang Yin chuckled then immediately pressed down her laughter. "You are right. You are very childish sometimes, but I am aware that I have also been a bit disrespectful towards you. Since we now apologized to each other, can we consider ourselves both forgiven?"

Tang Yin smiled and offered her hand out, stopping on her steps.

Lu Yin Ze looked at her hand and then at her face.

This time, he felt that her smile was no longer fake. It was not overly sweet or mild, with an air of unrestrained confidence.

A bit like Tang Xinyang.

'Do all Tangs smile like this?'

"Alright."

The two shook hands.

"Although, my offer still stands," Tang Yin said carefreely.

"Offer?"

"To seduce our loved ones."

"..."

Lu Yin Ze opened the door, and the sound of people's voices and laughter inside the hall suddenly washed over them.

"You should really learn when to stop."

Tang Yin followed after him. "Giving up without even trying is not included in the dictionary of the Tang family."

Lu Yin Ze shook his head helplessly. 'This boyish smile again.'

"I won't take your offer for now. Besides, there's a lot of things I need to do first," he said as he touched the pocket on his suit jacket. He felt the hard object through the clothes.

Lu Yin Ze's eyes turned solemn. He took a deep breath.

"Excuse me for now."

After nodding at Tang Yin, he walked ahead of her and went to the direction of the third row corner table.
