Upon hearing her husband put it that way, the beautiful woman was shocked, “You said Qingyin has found a boyfriend she’s fond of? How is that possible? There wasn’t the slightest sign of it during the summer vacation, and it’s only been a few days since the new semester started, and she already has a boyfriend? Isn’t that too fast? I don’t believe it. Besides, our daughter sets her standards sky-high. She doesn’t even consider an outstanding man like Lu Weiguang, let alone anyone else.”

“Lu Weiguang, outstanding? You’ve overrated him,” the middle-aged man chuckled, “Would a really outstanding man come to me to speak ill of another man who poses a threat to him? At most he’s someone with a narrow mind, lacking generosity, fond of stirring up trouble behind people’s backs, with a dark heart. He has nothing to do with being outstanding. I’ve never thought highly of him.”

“With good looks and a good temperament, his character isn’t too bad either. I actually thought he was quite a match for Qingyin,” the middle-aged woman sighed and then smiled, “I thought you would like Lu Weiguang.”

The middle-aged man didn’t respond to his wife’s remark but instead asked, “What’s your take on our daughter? How do you evaluate her taste in people?”

“Of course, Qingyin is outstanding. Looking all over Yanjing, I haven’t seen anyone better than she is. Whether it’s in terms of appearance or talent, no one can compare with her. Even though Ouyang Feifei is as famous as she is, in every aspect, she’s still not as good as Qingyin. Our daughter’s judgment is much better than ours. The young lady’s mind is more complex than we imagine, and she is very opinionated!”

“That’s good to know,” the middle-aged man laughed, “Our daughter sets her sights high and has her own strong opinions. Many men are chasing after her like carps crossing the river. Has she taken a fancy to any of them? Not till now! Lu Weiguang has been pursuing her for years, but she has never been interested. If I am not mistaken, what Lu Weiguang said is probably true. The truth is this: among this year’s freshmen, there is a young man who stood out and caught our daughter’s eye. Anyone who can catch her eye is definitely not an underachiever.”

“That’s true,” the middle-aged woman nodded, “If someone caught her special attention, or if she’s interested in that man, he definitely wouldn’t be lacking in any aspect. It seems I need to find out more about this young man who has won our daughter’s favor!”

“Absolutely not,” the middle-aged man shook his head, “You know what our daughter is like. If she finds out we’re meddling in her life and relationships, she’s bound to get angry, and might even refuse to come home. We’ve already agreed with her that she should make her own life decisions, whether it’s her career or her love life, without our interference. Don’t you trust your daughter’s judgment and abilities?”

“Though you say that, I’m still not at ease,” the middle-aged woman pouted discontentedly, “Marriage is a matter for a lifetime. Judging people when you’re young is different from when you’ve gained some age and experience. We might not interfere with her choices, but we could still give her some advice and find out about this young man. I believe Qingyin would understand our approach!”

“Let it be, you should focus on your own business,” the middle-aged man still didn’t agree with his wife’s thoughts, “If Qingyin truly thinks that the young man is good and suitable to be together with, she will take the initiative to tell us and seek our opinion. Our daughter has never been impulsive. All these years, I’ve been reassured by whatever she has done. I trust her to make the right decision when it comes to marriage. If you want to know about the young man she’s seeing, wait until she brings it up, so we don’t upset her.”

“Alright,” the middle-aged woman thought it over and ultimately agreed with what her husband said, “We won’t intervene in her affairs for now and will wait for her to bring it up before we look into it.”

“In the second half of this year and into next year, there will be frequent personnel changes, and as the officer in charge of personnel, you’ll have a lot on your plate. You should worry about your own affairs first.”

The beautiful middle-aged woman was slightly dissatisfied and complained, “For a father, you really trust your daughter. Aren’t you afraid that Qingyin might be deceived?”

“Someone who wants to deceive your daughter hasn’t been born yet, haha,” the middle-aged man looked very cheerful, “Besides, she has people looking out for her. It won’t be easy for anyone who wants to harm her.”

“If something happens, you’ll regret it too late!”

“As long as it’s a man she has her eyes on and has decided to be with, I will support her unconditionally.” The middle-aged man patted his wife’s shoulder and smiled happily, “I’ve always been worried that our daughter would never find a man she liked. Now that she has finally met one, we should be happy for her. We’ll just wait until she decides to bring her boyfriend home and surprise us!”

The beautiful woman thought for a moment, then nodded her head, not saying anything more. However, she remained uneasy. When her husband went into another room to make a phone call, she snuck into another room and made a phone call of her own, giving a few instructions.

After leaving, Lu Weiguang did not immediately return to school but made several phone calls, instructing his driver to go to another place.

Upon reaching a café called “Night Fragrance,” Lu Weiguang instructed his driver to wait downstairs while he himself went upstairs alone, found a private booth, ordered a coffee, and started savoring it slowly.

About ten minutes later, someone gently knocked on the door of the booth.

“Come in,” Lu Weiguang lifted his head and called toward the door.

The door opened in response, and a young man with a quite handsome face walked in.

Seeing that it was Lu Weiguang sitting inside caused the new arrival to pause momentarily.

“Jiaqing, my younger schoolmate,” Lu Weiguang stood up, surprised, and extended his hand towards the man, “It’s been a long time since we last had coffee together. I hope you don’t mind my impromptu invitation today.”

“I didn’t expect Senior Weiguang to be the one inviting me for coffee,” Li Jiaqing shook hands with Lu Weiguang and laughed, “I’m truly honored to be asked by you.”

Lu Weiguang and Li Jiaqing were both influential figures at school, among the few most outstanding male students who caught the attention of many female classmates on the school’s heartthrob list. However, they didn’t have much overlap, primarily because they were not in the same college, and they did not acknowledge each other’s merit.

Of course, mainly it was Li Jiaqing who didn’t acknowledge Lu Weiguang. So, when Lu Weiguang took the initiative to invite him for coffee today, Li Jiaqing was quite surprised.

Li Jiaqing also understood that today’s coffee invitation from Lu Weiguang was definitely not just a simple chat over coffee; it had to involve an important matter for discussion. But he was in a good mood and did not inquire proactively. After sitting down, he just casually brought up topics about the school.

Soon enough, the two of them arrived at the topic of the recent person of interest, Luo Ziling.

“I heard that recently, Junior Jiaqing, you were bullied by Luo Ziling?” Lu Weiguang stirred his coffee with a small spoon, speaking leisurely, “Unexpected, isn’t it? The distinguished Young Master Li, being bullied by a freshman with no background. It’s quite surprising.”

Li Jiaqing had already figured out the real purpose behind Lu Weiguang’s coffee invitation today, but he did not openly express anything and instead replied, “What advice does Senior Weiguang have for me?”
