Chapter 214

Old Lu was resting today. He had been working overtime frequently recently, just for the technician exam in a week.

As long as he could pass, he would be an eighth-grade worker.

Being able to retire as an eighth-grade worker, he wouldn't have lived his life in vain.

Old Lu stood aside and said: "Look, the child is fine, but you're all nervous. Hurry up and do what you need to do. I think this is just fine."

If they don't like the look of you, even if there's nothing wrong, they can still pick bones out of an egg.

When they were dating, to tell the truth, they hadn't thought that much; they just felt that their second daughter had a partner, and he was the universally praised Representative Qin, which was really too good.

Once the dating stage stabilized, they suddenly felt they were going to talk about marriage, and oh my, there were quite a few things to deal with.

Although it was said that everyone was equal, they knew in their hearts it wasn't like that.

The Qin family wasn't an ordinary family, and the Bai family was the same.

Although they lived in the same city, the Bai family was a family the Lu family couldn't climb up to.

What if their daughter was looked down upon or bullied after marrying in?

The child grew up in a small, humble household; would she feel uncomfortable going to the Qin or Bai family?

Meng Xia whispered her worries.

Old Lu said: "Stop thinking about those useless things. Is our Qiao Ge the type to get stage fright? She can talk freely with big leaders; who would she be afraid of? Besides, isn't there Hengzhi?"

Qin Hengzhi pushed open the Lu family gate, carrying two bottles of wine, a piece of meat, and sponge cakes bought for Grandma Lu.

Grandma Lu said: "Hengzhi, coming to our house is like coming home. You don't have to be so polite every time, you hear me?"

Qin Hengzhi nodded with a smile, indicating he heard.

Seeing such a future son-in-law, Meng Xia felt it was actually nothing. After marriage, the young couple would live their lives; as long as they were good together, that was better than anything.

On the way, Qin Hengzhi parked the car on the side of the road and handed Lu Qiaoge a stack of photos.

Lu Qiaoge took them but didn't rush to look; instead, she asked in surprise: "Why didn't you take them out when we were at my house?"

Qin Hengzhi whispered: "There... there are photos of the two of us together. I was worried that your father and mother would see..."

After all, they weren't married yet, and they had already started taking photos together. Maybe they wouldn't feel comfortable.

These words weren't spoken, but the meaning was clear.

Lu Qiaoge smiled. Only then did she start flipping through the photos. Her photography skills didn't need to be mentioned, and Qin Hengzhi's aesthetic was also top-notch.

He had taken such beautiful pictures of her.

Lu Qiaoge held her own photos and looked at them one by one, her face showing a rather intoxicated look.

Only then did she carefully look at the photos of the two of them together. Qin Hengzhi looked carefully and then keenly discovered that Lu Qiaoge had only glanced at him in the photo, and then went to look at herself.

Oh my, this gaze lingered long enough.

Didn't she quite like his face?

Qin Hengzhi put his hand on the photo and said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile: "Put them away. You can look at them as much as you want when you're free."

Lu Qiaoge smiled and put the photos into her satchel.

Qin Hengzhi said to Lu Qiaoge: "No need to go to the department store. I've already prepared the gifts for my grandfather."

Lu Qiaoge didn't insist.

Qin Hengzhi only objectively described his maternal family, but Lu Qiaoge didn't know how this family treated him.

So Qin Hengzhi could have full authority over what gifts to take for the first visit.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Hengzhi took out an envelope and handed it to Lu Qiaoge: "This is my bankbook."

He then explained: "This is the bonus I just got."

He hadn't had time to return to Beijing yet; his savings and other things were all at home.

This was the bonus just given by the military R&D center, exactly 1,000 yuan, which was deposited directly for him.

Lu Qiaoge took it. Last time at the trade fair, Qin Hengzhi had given her 680 yuan in cash.

It was estimated that it was all the cash he had on hand.

She hadn't returned the rest and naturally kept it.

At the time, she felt that if she returned it, the flavor would change.

Actually, she didn't have much experience either.

Everything was based on her true heart.

But honestly speaking, she hadn't heard of anyone whose partner was as generous as Qin Hengzhi.

Of course, no one earned as much as Qin Hengzhi either.

In an ordinary circle, an extraordinary person appeared, making him seem very alternative.

Lu Qiaoge looked into Qin Hengzhi's eyes.

After a few seconds of silence, Lu Qiaoge put the bankbook into her satchel.

Qin Hengzhi seemed calm, but he was actually very nervous. Seeing Lu Qiaoge accept it, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Qiaoge's satchel was made of canvas, had compartments, and had a zipper. She said to Qin Hengzhi: "Don't drive yet. There's something in my satchel for you."

As she spoke, Lu Qiaoge took something out of her satchel.

Qin Hengzhi had been waiting very seriously, and he was also guessing what it could be.

But no matter what it was, as long as it was a gift from Qiao Ge, he would be very happy and treasure it like a treasure.

But when this thing was held in Lu Qiaoge's hand and handed to him, even the well-informed Qin Hengzhi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Amber?

It was actually a piece of crystal-clear golden amber with a leaf wrapped inside.

The leaf wasn't big, but it was complete, lying quietly in the amber, and one didn't know how many years of time it had been sleeping for.

Qin Hengzhi held it in his hand and looked at it carefully. Lu Qiaoge took out another piece from her bag and showed it to Qin Hengzhi with a smile: "Look at this piece of mine; it's also a leaf."

She then said: "The shapes are different, but the leaves are very similar. We each have one; what do you think?"

Of course, it was extremely good!

But where did Qiao Ge get these two pieces of amber? These weren't things you could just find casually like stones by the river.

And there were two pieces.

As far as he knew, his eldest uncle, who loved jade, didn't have such good amber.

These two were complete in shape, teardrop-shaped, smooth and round on the outside, transparent like honey without impurities or cracks; these were peerless items.

Qin Hengzhi treasured them and put them away, but still asked: "Qiao Ge, where did you get them?"

Lu Qiaoge answered naturally: "They were sent to me by a little squirrel."

Qin Hengzhi froze for a moment, nodded, and asked softly: "Does the little squirrel have any requests?"

Lu Qiaoge tilted her head, smiling: "It hopes I can go see it occasionally."

Qin Hengzhi curled his lips: "Well, I have a car. If you need it, as long as I have time, I'm on standby!"

Not to mention, even if she determined the origin of the things in the reed marsh, Representative Qin would have to make the final decision.

It was August now; no matter what, she had to handle these things before winter.

Thus, Lu Qiaoge smiled at him.

At this moment, the jeep was parked on an empty, tree-lined road.

The car windows were open, the wind swept through the treetops, and in the rustling sound, the girl close at hand smiled at him like a flower.

Qin Hengzhi's heart palpitated. He suddenly raised his hand and gently brushed her hair.

His fingertips brushed past her ear, warm and restrained, but it made her heart skip a beat.

Lu Qiaoge met his eyes.

His eyes were still clear, like obsidian quenched with starlight, calm and deep.

"Qiao Ge." He called her name softly, his voice low, as if wrapped in the night wind, slightly hoarse: "I won't let down your trust!"
