Doomsday Stewed Salted Fish C33.2

Hey, first of all, thanks for reading my lousy Machine Translation. To be honest, I’d really like it if you guys corrected the mistakes I made. But please speak nicely and politely. My heart is not strong enough to read your too-harsh comments. Have a nice day. 🙂

Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!

Chapter 33. (2/2)

Lu Ya confirmed, “Yes. I told Grandpa about us, so he won’t arrange blind dates anymore. He wants to meet you tomorrow night if you’re free.”

Gu Fan had no objections and nodded, taking the chocolates and heading upstairs.

After remembering how she had eaten chocolate, Lu Ya reminded her, “Eating too much chocolate is bad for your teeth. It’s best to eat it in small portions.”

Aware of the chocolate’s rarity, Gu Fan naturally wouldn’t waste it as she did before.

“During the major radiation event, you weren’t born yet and didn’t participate in the initial resource collection. Did you buy these chocolates with merit points or receive them as gifts?” Leaning on the railing, Gu Fan was curious, finding it hard to imagine someone like Lu Ya enjoying chocolates.

Lu Ya, looking down, took out a black crystal core set in a silver necklace from his space.

“My grandmother was an ordinary person. After the major radiation event, Grandpa took her everywhere, collecting many supplies. When the base was established, Grandpa gave her a batch of snacks in a crystal core as a gift. After he had a second woman, Grandma gave the core to my father, who passed it to my mother, and when my father married another woman, my mother gave it to me.”

Gu Fan was speechless.

She seemed to see a tragic love story between two women.

“Is your grandmother still alive?”

“She passed away a long time ago.”

“And your mother?”

“She’s an ability user who left the army for mercenary work and never returned.”

Gu Fan was speechless again.

So, even someone as noble and powerful as Lu Ya had two tragic family stories. His grandmother died, his father sacrificed himself, and his mother’s fate was unknown.

Lu Ya suddenly walked towards the stairs.

Instinctively, Gu Fan watched him, feeling she should say something comforting.

However, as she prepared to offer words of comfort, Lu Ya walked past her, up the stairs, and soon a door closed upstairs.

Gu Fan breathed a sigh of relief, glad Lu Ya didn’t need her comfort.

Back in her room on the third floor, Gu Fan looked at the chocolates, thinking of Lu Ya’s grandmother and the twenty-plus children Lu Sheng had with other women, and suddenly lost her appetite.

Putting the chocolates in her space, Gu Fan rarely bathed, using dust removal spells as a cover.

After bathing, Gu Fan began her cultivation.

At the same time, Lu Yao, dressed in a beautiful dress, sweetly smiled as she entered Sheng Xi’s car, starting their evening date.

“So, is Gu Fan really your second brother’s woman?” Sheng Xi frowned upon hearing Lu Yao’s news.

Lu Yao didn’t mind much, leaning back in her seat, “A timid C-level ability user and a freelancer. Second Brother is just curious about her. Once Grandpa strongly opposes it, his interest will fade, and she’ll fall into your hands.”

Sheng Xi wasn’t as optimistic, “Your second brother hasn’t been involved with any woman for so many years. He might be serious this time. I’ve seen Gu Fan; her strength might be lacking, but she’s very capable of charming men.”

Lu Yao raised an eyebrow, looking at him askew, “If she’s so beautiful that Second Brother is bewitched, do you also want her besides her medicine?”

Sheng Xi laughed, one hand on the steering wheel and the other holding Lu Yao’s hand, explaining, “I’m not like your second brother. In the business world, I’ve seen all kinds of women and am immune to beauty. I only have you in my heart. Your second brother, being a novice with women, is the most vulnerable to seduction.”

Lu Yao said, “If the Second Brother is just seduced, that’s simple. Men get bored with beauty eventually, like Lu’s first wife, who was much prettier than my mother. But what happened? My father abandoned her, and she ran off with mercenaries. Now, who knows if she’s dead or taken by other men.”

At seventeen, the girl had a look of bitterness unbefitting her age.

Sheng Xi coughed, softly warning her, “Some things should stay in your mind. Never show this in front of Lu Ya.”

No one dared to openly offend Lu Ya, the base’s youngest and strongest S-level powerhouse.

Lu Yao understood this, only feeling jealous of Lu Ya’s power and status and the attention he received from their grandfather and her father after his mother disappeared, leaving nothing for his other wives or children.

“Sheng Xi, will you marry other women after we marry?” Lu Yao suddenly tilted her head, her beautiful eyes expectantly looking at her fiancé.

Sheng Xi parked the car, holding Lu Yao’s hands sincerely, “No, I believe in monogamy. I’ll only have you.”

Lu Yao smiled, leaning into kiss Sheng Xi’s lips.

After a while, Sheng Xi, breathless, gently pushed her away, helplessly saying, “You’re just taking advantage of me knowing I won’t take it further.”

Lu Yao playfully smiled, loving her fiancé’s restraint despite his desires.

A man only truly loves one woman when he willingly restrains himself like this.

Lu Ya’s feelings for Gu Fan were definitely different. No Lu family man had ever been genuinely infatuated.
