Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei Returns from the New Three Kingdoms

Chapter 6 Reading the Letter Reveals Mingfei's Past, the Little Celestial Maiden Directly Sees

As Lu Mingfei read the letter, he suddenly realized that he had never told his children that he loved them.

In ancient times, people didn't readily express their feelings of love and affection. Except for Boss Cao, who was mentally ill, people would often say things like "I love him to death."

His marriage to Princess Qinghe was purely a political alliance. It was said that they fell in love after marriage, and after several decades, they had developed some feelings for each other, though not deep, but they were not in love either.

It wasn't until after the birth of their child that their conflicts eased considerably, specifically because the woman stopped wanting to kill him.

In short, just make do, what else can you do?

But now he has some regrets.

He's almost seventy, but the stubborn child inside him never grew up. He's so stubborn that he can't bring himself to say "I love you" to that face that's just like his own when he was a child.

It's like he never learned to love himself in the end, constantly running around on different battlefields waiting for his own destined death.

With a long sigh, Lu Mingfei, who had long forgotten what crying was like, solemnly put the letter and photo into his pocket.

"In that case, I think I have no reason to refuse this invitation."

"That would be best, Mingfei. I look forward to your arrival at Kassel College."

As Lu Mingfei walked out of the conference room, everyone stared at him. Su Xiaoqiang stood up, wanting to ask Lu Mingfei what was going on, including the interview and what he had just said.

Unfortunately, Ye Sheng came out from inside and spoke.

"Next up, Su Xiaoqiang."

Then Lu Mingfei saw that "Chen Wenwen" was being addressed as Su Xiaoqiang, and immediately put down his things and walked into the conference room with some nervousness.

Wait a minute, she's Su Xiaoqiang, so who is Chen Wenwen? Is she the girl who looks pretty and has a good figure, or the girl who looks pretty but... well, something feels off?

Lu Mingfei preferred the one with the better physique, the one who stood up abruptly when he heard Chu Zihang.

But Lu Mingfei painfully discovered that his memories were gradually returning, the ones he had left at the end.

What's going on? Was this his aesthetic sense when he was eighteen? He wasn't even as pretty as Princess Qinghe.

Then, realizing that his gaze had met that of the real Chen Wenwen, Lu Mingfei, feeling very annoyed, quickly walked out of the floor and returned to his suite.

It's weird, bro. It's like you've become a middle-aged, miserable corporate slave, coming home every day to nothing but unappetizing instant noodles, and then scrolling through your phone and inexplicably finding your family's WeChat group where they're posting videos of you from when you were a kid.

Then that little brat, facing a table full of hot, delicious food, pouted and said he didn't want to eat this. But when asked what he wanted to eat, he grinned and said he wanted some instant noodles.

Lu Mingfei lay on the bed, troubled by his past aesthetic choices and forgetting about how his money had been embezzled, when a message came through on his phone.

It wasn't the one Kassel gave him, but his own, an obsolete model with only buttons that could barely function as QQ. The message on it was from Su Xiaoqiang.

"Where are you?"

What does this mean? Although it was hard to understand, Lu Mingfei still posted his location, and his memories of Su Xiaoqiang were gradually returning.

Is this girl, nicknamed "Little Fairy," his best friend from high school?

I guess so. Actually, the relationship was surprisingly good. The other party was often willing to tip him some money, which could be considered a master to him when he was poor in the past.

A short while later, Lu Mingfei heard a knock on the suite door. When he opened it, it was Xiao Tiannv.

Su Xiaoqiang was simply furious about Lu Mingfei's performance today. How come she was the prettiest one... Of course she was the prettiest, but how come she got along so well with that professor? And those three open-ended questions...

"What did you mean by that?"

"What do you mean? Are you saying you're good-looking? That doesn't mean anything, it's just a statement. You are indeed good-looking. What, don't you realize that yourself?"

Upon hearing this, the little celestial maiden proudly raised her neck like a swan.

"How could that be? Of course I'm the prettiest."

Lu Mingfei found his proud demeanor amusing.

"Yes, that's right. So, you came all this way just to ask me this? Could you please step back a little?"

"Like this? What are you going to do—"

As Su Xiaoqiang did as instructed, she saw a black door blocking her way. Just as she was about to turn on her computer to research finding a lawyer, Lu Mingfei heard another knock on the door.

And so.

"Lu! Ming! Fei! What are you doing?!"

"Uh, I thought our brief conversation was over, and I assumed you were okay since you acquiesced to my question."

This is a lie. It was just that Lu Mingfei suddenly had the idea to tease the other person after remembering their personality. There aren't many opportunities for a superhuman to mess with a normal person, let alone when the other person gets angry.

— Gritting her teeth, glaring at those big eyes, she stretched out her foot to stomp on his foot, but unfortunately missed, and then it hurt a little, so she tilted her head back and endured the pain.

"Hmm, very interesting," Lu Mingfei said with a smile.

"So? What do you need? If not, I'm closing the door again."

"Oh! Lu Mingfei! You did this on purpose!"

Lu Mingfei raised an eyebrow and looked at Su Xiaoqiang with an innocent expression, so Su Xiaoqiang eventually calmed down.

"I said, Chen Wenwen was right next to you, why did you move so far away to stand next to me and say I was the prettiest?"

"Oh, before I answer you, I also have a question for you."

Seeing Lu Mingfei's calm and collected demeanor, Su Xiaoqiang asked with some curiosity.

"Then ask away."

"Tell me, Chen Wenwen was right next to me at the time, so why did I specifically come to you and say you were the prettiest?"

.............

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Lu Mingfei secretly realized that everyone in the Twisted Three Kingdoms spoke like that, and he couldn't change his conversational habits for a while.

"Um... it's like this, actually I've always had a crush on you, but because I'm too shy, I used the excuse of having a crush on Chen Wenwen to allow me to have normal conversations with you."

The Trisolarans were still getting used to communicating, but Su Xiaoqiang's face instantly turned red. Didn't this guy like Zhao Menghua? Why was he blushing when he spoke to him?

What Lu Mingfei didn't expect was that even a normal person would blush at the slightest such a sudden remark.

After all, everyone in his previous world was like that, and the only one who would blush was that pretentious Guan Yu, because his face was naturally red.

However, he didn't dwell on it too much. Lu Mingfei shrugged, walked out of the room, and found a place to sit down.

Su Xiaoqiang, still with her head held high and a somewhat happy expression, sat down confidently.

She didn't actually like Lu Mingfei because of this; her happiness was simply because she was someone who always cared a bit about what others thought.

Now, Chen Wenwen, the most steadfast simp of her biggest enemy, has confessed that he is actually infatuated with her charm.

This sense of accomplishment is truly unbearable.

So she sat down and quite naturally reached out to call the waiter over, and Su Xiaoqiang said with a smile.

"What would you like to drink? It's on me."

"Alright, bring the wine! I'm thirsty!"
