Rebirth: A Super Foodie and Her Cat Demon Husband

Chapter 291: Hiding from the spotlight

Liu Yuanyuan opened her mouth, then asked cautiously, "What did Dad tell you?"

After hearing what Liu Yuanyuan said, Mother Liu stopped worrying about what Liu Yuanyuan should wear today. She flung open the door of Liu Yuanyuan's room, ran into the living room, and angrily shouted at Father Liu, holding her waist. "What did you tell me? Didn't you say it was just a private family reunion party? How did it become an engagement party?"

Father Liu smiled wryly: "You heard my quibbling. I just wanted you to accept it step by step. Originally, Yuanyuan, as the daughter of the Lu family, was engaged to the Tang family.

It's not that the young master of the Tang family is home for the New Year, so I thought I'd take the opportunity to arrange it right in the bedroom. But it doesn't matter, the young master of the Tang family is studying abroad now. It's just a matter of arranging the marriage. By the time we get married, I guess we'll be of legal age in our country."

Mother Liu was panting, pinching her waist, her eyes red, and staring at Father Liu without saying anything.

Father Liu forced a helpless smile, cautiously walked forward, and put his arm around Mother Liu's shoulders. Then he turned and gave Liu Yuanyuan a sharp look, telling her to quickly join him in comforting Mother Liu.

Liu Yuanyuan raised her eyebrows, pretending not to see it, put on her schoolbag, turned around and said goodbye to Lie Qing, saying, "It's not easy to get a taxi during the New Year. I'll go out and see if I can get one." She opened the door and quickly walked out.

Father Liu rolled his eyes in annoyance and quickly explained his thoughts to Mother Liu again.

I don't know if it's good luck or bad luck, but I didn't expect there would be so many taxis on the road today, the first day of the Lunar New Year.

If I stopped a taxi too quickly, I'm afraid Father and Mother Liu wouldn't be able to explain things clearly. It wouldn't be good to leave the driver waiting. So, after thinking it over, I pulled out my phone and sent a message to my second brother.

[Second brother, are you going to the Tang Family Manor tonight? ]

I quickly received a reply: "Can you not go? This is a major event in your life. Even if I'm busy, I have to put down what I'm doing. What? What's going on here?"

My parents and I are going too, but my mom didn't know about this. My dad is explaining it to her right now, and they're probably going to have a fight. I'm worried it'll be hard to get a taxi if we're late, so how about you pick us up?

This time, Lu Mingtian didn't reply to Liu Yuanyuan's message immediately. Liu Yuan didn't think much of it, thinking that his second brother might need to sort out his own affairs.

But unexpectedly, after waiting for a while, what came was not a text message from Lu Mingtian, but a call from Tang Ziji.

Liu Yuanyuan picked up the phone immediately. Tang Ziji's indifferent voice came from the other end of the phone, and Liu Yuanyuan felt a little bored in his voice.

"Your second brother just called me and asked me to drive over to pick you up. Do you need me to leave now?"

Liu Yuanyuan raised an eyebrow and lifted the phone away from her ear, which then vibrated. She switched the speaker to loudspeaker mode and saw a pop-up message on the desktop.

Liu Yuanyuan clicked on the message from Lu Mingtian: "Of course, this is something that should be handled by my future son-in-law. I, your second brother, can't always be at the forefront of everything. Maybe after seeing this future son-in-law, your mother's anger will subside."

Liu Yuanyuan then said to the phone, "If you're bored, then come over. I'm squatting on the street too, too scared to go home. Just consider it as keeping me company."

As Liu Yuanyuan spoke, she sent a message to her second brother: "Have you already gone to the Tang family's manor?"

This time, Lu Mingtian sent another message immediately, and Tang Ziji's voice came from the phone: "Okay, I'll be there right away." Then he hung up the phone.

Liu Yuanyuan then clicked on Lu Mingtian's message. "We just arrived, and mainly because we heard you were coming, Mom and Dad felt this wasn't just a winter vacation thing, but also a Lu family thing. Since your whole family agreed to come, Mom and Dad wanted to take this opportunity to have you return to your roots."

Liu Yuanyuan's brow furrowed. He was just thinking about taking things one step at a time, but he wasn't thinking of returning to his roots so soon. Furthermore, he didn't want to change his last name to Lu again in this lifetime.

Are your parents a little too anxious?

Lu Mingtian replied again in seconds: "Mom and Dad have always been very worried about you."

Liu Yuanyuan didn't hesitate to tell Lu Mingtian her thoughts. "I don't want to change my last name to Lu. As long as everyone knows each other, I'll continue to be Liu Yuanyuan and stay in the Liu family. Lu Meichen will still have the last name Lu and stay in the Lu family. I feel like I'm not myself anymore after changing my last name."

I'll tell my parents about your idea.

Liu Yuanyuan read Lu Mingtian's message. This time she didn't reply to him and put her phone back into her pocket.

She looked up at the gray sky and slowly exhaled. The breath from her mouth turned into white mist when it came into contact with the cold air outside and slowly dissipated.

Finally, it had come to this. He was still thinking, as he had thought before, that everything was moving in a positive direction. He just didn't know if he would meet the Lu family's eldest aunt tonight. He also didn't know how the Lu family would deal with that aunt and uncle.

Then she slowly closed her eyes and silently recited the mantra that allowed her to absorb energy directly. She wanted to try to see if she could absorb energy infinitely in this weak light without the sun.

Unfortunately, he did not see the strong light spot this time. There was only a ball of white light and shadow in his sight, but this light and shadow was not stable. It shook and then disappeared.

But these should be better than nothing, and the winter chill seems to have dissipated a little.

She slowly opened her eyes and saw a black commercial vehicle parked in front of her. The window of the driver's cab was lowered, and Tang Ziji was looking at her with a strange look.

Seeing her open her eyes, Tang Ziji raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "What are you doing? Are you going to practice some more at this time? You are really hardworking."

Liu Yuanyuan also curled her lips and smiled: "No matter how hard I work, I can never catch up with you. Even when I turned into a cat, I was still reading. As for what I'm doing, we can talk about it after we get in the car."

Tang Ziji nodded and looked towards Liu Yuanyuan's living area: "Hasn't Uncle and Auntie settled down yet?"

Liu Yuanyuan nodded, wondering why Tang Ziji came so soon when she had just finished talking to him on the phone.

As far as she could remember, the Tang family's manor was probably outside the city, quite a distance away. It would take almost half an hour to get there without traffic.

So she took out her cell phone and looked at it, and found that more than half an hour had passed since she called Tang Ziji.
