The butler suggested, “Madam, you should call Sir to confirm.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan knew what the butler was thinking, so she called Lu Wanggui. However, she was not sure if Lu Wanggui would have time to talk to her at this time.

When Lu Wanggui received Xiang Xiaoyuan’s call, he was about to go to a meeting. When he saw the caller ID, he stopped in his tracks. As he answered the phone, he said to Gao Yuan, “You guys go first. I’ll be right there.”

Gao Yuan understood and went to the conference room with the documents in his hands.

Lu Wanggui walked to the window. He didn’t expect Xiang Xiaoyuan to call him at this time. He asked gently, “What’s wrong?”

Xiang Xiaoyuan was still looking at the shirt. She thought of Lu Wanggui’s appearance when he put it on. “What shirt size are you?”

Lu Wanggui, “You’re buying one for me?”

“Of course.” Xiang Xiaoyuan did not forget to take credit. “I haven’t spent a single cent today. The first expense is to buy a shirt for you.”

The corner of Lu Wanggui’s mouth curled up slightly. After thanking her, he told her his size and asked, “Will you remember it?”

Xiang Xiaoyuan, “Yes.”

Lu Wanggui shook his head, thinking that she might not have understood what he meant. But it did not matter. It was already a miracle that she was buying a shirt for him.

The cashier was very surprised when she saw Xiang Xiaoyuan take out the black card, but she did not show it on her face. She had been here for a long time. With a glance, she could tell that the bag that the young beauty was carrying was limited edition. It cost close to a million yuan. The person who could afford such a bag must be either rich or noble. However, she did not expect this beauty to take out a black card.

After swiping the card, the shop assistant handed her a pen and asked her to sign on the receipt. She paused at the tip of the pen and solemnly signed Lu Wanggui’s name.

At the same time, Lu Wanggui thought as he walked towards the meeting room. She had to sign his name every time she spent money. He hoped that she could spend more money and sign his name a few more times.

After swiping the card, the shop assistant wrapped the glass that Yang Liu had taken a fancy to. When Yang Liu and Xiang Xiaoyuan walked out of the shop, Yang Liu sighed. “It’s too much. I felt like I just spent more than 40,000 yuan on a glass.”

“What’s too much about it?” Xiang Xiaoyuan held her arm and smiled. “Take this as my Valentine’s Day gift to you.”

Not long after Xiang Xiaoyuan arrived home, Lu Wanggui returned. His entire body was shrouded in a gloomy aura.

Xiang Xiaoyuan had never seen him like this. He had always been gentle and modest, but he had suddenly become gloomy. Xiang Xiaoyuan and Lu Bei looked at each other in dismay, not knowing what had happened.

Lu Wanggui’s voice was a little hoarse, and his eyes were bloodshot. He looked very terrifying. He said in a deep voice, “Xiao Bei, go pack your things. We are flying tonight.” After saying that, he paused for a moment and said, “Your great-uncle passed away.”

Lu Bei was stunned.

Xiang Xiaoyuan was also at a loss.

She had never met Lu Bei’s great-uncle, Lu Wanggui’s uncle, since she transmigrated, but he was not a stranger to her, as the Lu family would occasionally receive huge parcels containing fruits, eggs and honey from the local farmers. These were all sent by Lu Wanggui’s uncle.

Therefore, even though she had never seen him before, at this moment, she could not help but feel bad when she saw Lu Wanggui and Lu Bei’s sad expressions.

Lu Bei did not say a word as he went to pack his luggage with red eyes.

For someone like Lu Wanggui, even though he was in the pain of losing a loved one, he was still very organized and clear-headed. He raised his head and looked at her. “I’m leaving soon. I have asked Assistant Gao to book a plane ticket. I hope you don’t mind this last-minute notice.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan nodded in acknowledgement.

“I am worried about you being at home alone.” Lu Wanggui raised his hand and pressed his temple. His voice was deep. “But if you really can’t leave, it’s okay, Lu Bei and I will go alone.”

Actually, Xiang Xiaoyuan wanted to laugh when he said he was worried about her. What was there to be worried about? She wasn’t a child. But before she could smile, she saw the sadness in Lu Wanggui and said softly, “It’s okay, I can go with you. I should go see your uncle off.”

Lu Wanggui raised his head to look at her. His steady eyes were filled with a look that she couldn’t understand.

They were in such a hurry that Lu Wanggui and Lu Bei did not have the time to finish their meal. After packing their things, they headed straight to the airport. They informed Xu Xiyao in advance and told him that they would be gone for a few days and that if there was anything that he could not handle, he could call the butler..
