35: Gentleman Lu Feng...

Gentleman Lu Feng...

In the evening.0

The whole family eagerly waited for the elderly couple to arrive in the living room. When they came, everyone stood up to observe how they had dressed. They stood frozen at the beauty of the couple; silence invaded the room. They broke into a round of applause and smiled as the couple approached.

The older man was wearing a black suit with a red shirt, complete with a black bow, and the red handkerchief tucked in his pocket and paired with the stylish pair of black shoes.

Grandma Zhao Shuang was wearing a full sleeve red dress that reached the floor, paired with flat booties adorned with diamonds. It fit loosely over her curves, perfect for someone her age. Her accessories matched well, making her look beautiful.

"You look amazing," Lu Zhilan gasped. "Made for each other," she commented, unable to contain her excitement.

"We're covered with love, all of you showered. Of course, we look that way," elder Lu said. 

These words were spoken as everything the couple wore that day was prepared by the others. Being rich, all the family members had pitched in and gifted them things that they could wear at the party.

While everyone admired the couple, Lu Feng came downstairs with a medium-sized box in his hand. He, too, was wearing a black suit without wearing a tie or bow with it as the top two buttons of his shirt were undone. It was because he couldn't bear to wear a tie or bow, so he went without it.

Everyone was somewhat surprised to see him dressed up like a gentleman, apposite to his usual clothes which included T-shirts, stylish leather jackets, and jeans or cargos.

Lu Chen: 'I almost forgot how my son actually looks.'

Su Hui: 'My handsome son.'

Others: 'Does he have a fever?'

When Lu Bao saw Lu Feng coming downstairs, she too was surprised to see her brother and couldn't hold her tongue back. She leaned slightly closer to the person on her right, poked her index finger in the soft arm of that person, and spoke in a low voice.

"See? We have one more brother who will make the girls go crazy." 

She was still poking that soft arm, but the person who replied to her scared her out of her wits.

"You are getting bolder day by day. I think you need to get disciplined properly," Su Hui threatened.

Lu Bao choked on her breath. "M-mother…" she stammered and couldn't speak further. She had forgotten entirely that Lu Lian was standing to her left, not her right.

On the other side, Lu Lian looked at her sister with pity. She interrupted the pair by speaking up, "Brother Lu Feng is here… where is brother Lu Qiang?"

Lu Bao gasped. "Right! I didn't see him since he left my room. Did he go out?"

"Happy anniversary," Lu Feng congratulated as he passed the gift box to his grandparents. While grandma Zhao Shuang's eyes moistened, elder Lu had no expressions.

"Thank you so much, dear," Grandma Zhao Shuang said, incredibly happy to receive the gift.

Without a word, elder Lu handed the gift to his wife and stepped forward to wrap his grandson in a tight hug. He mumbled a thank you, his face alight with happiness.

Lu Feng stood stunned at the reaction but hugged his grandfather back with an awkward smile.

It had been a year since elder Lu spoke to Lu Feng. He was quite upset with his grandson because of his bad habits. Also, since the last year, Lu Feng hasn't taken the initiative to talk to his grandfather either, so this scene was a treat to the eyes of the others.

"My grandson brought a gift for me. Let's open it." Seeing elder Lu happy, Zhao Shuang could only hand over the gift, tears welling in her eyes.

When elder Lu opened that box, there were two wine bottles and glasses inside it. One bottle was in the shape of a man in a suit, and the other one was a woman in a wedding dress. 

If one kept them together, it looked like a married couple. The glasses too, were different, having the face of a man and a woman on it.

When the men of the household saw this, they were surprised to see the bottle's logo. It was an expensive wine bottle that one could customize to their will. The most crucial factor was that the wine needed to be pre-ordered at least a month before to get it ready on time. 

The simple meaning was, Lu Feng had arranged for the gift a month in advance when no one was thinking about this occasion. It was flabbergasting that someone who pretended to ignore everyone was so thoughtful.

Everyone praised the gift to avoid making the atmosphere awkward.

"Thank you, Lu Feng," grandpa said as he stared at the gift. He was too overwhelmed to comment further.

The awkwardness got to him, and Lu Feng suddenly excused himself from the room, saying he had an urgent call to receive.
