Chapter 449 Lu Boxi
Chapter 449 Lu Boxi
Xi Xi and her friends were walking slowly forward, their eyes still occasionally falling on Shen Li and Lu Boyi.
Looking at Lu Boyi's calm expression, the girl couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "Look at that guy, all he has is a pretty face, and he actually dares to give that woman a hard time. He doesn't even know how to be a kept man, it's too much!"
Upon hearing this, Xi Xi looked over again and saw Shen Li holding Lu Boyi's hand with great enthusiasm.
Lu Boyi, however, remained calm, showing no extra expression.
In an instant, her impression of Lu Boyi also became somewhat negative.
The two watched as Shen Li pulled Lu Boyi toward a luxury car not far away—that car could drive directly into the airport, so its owner must be someone important.
A hint of disdain welled up in Xixi's heart: being raised by such a rich, beautiful, and elegant older sister...
How dare they give me attitude? They have no professional ethics whatsoever. Shouldn't they be trying to please me?
With these thoughts in mind, Xixi still pulled her friend along and turned to leave the airport.
—She has finally graduated from university. From now on, she will officially welcome her new life and strive for her own future.
Shen Li pulled Lu Boyi along, quickly walking to the car. Lu Boyi looked up at Lu Cheng, who was leaning against the car, and said respectfully but calmly, "Father."
Lu Cheng looked at his son, who was taller than him and had an upright expression.
She raised an eyebrow slightly, her tone tinged with displeasure: "You child, can't you smile more when you see your mother? You always have that long face, who are you trying to impress?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Boyi's lips moved stiffly, managing only a forced smile.
His clumsy appearance made Shen Li burst out laughing.
She quickly waved her hand at Lu Cheng, protecting her son: "Alright, alright, our son just got off the plane and must be tired from the long journey. Don't keep nagging him. That's just his nature; he doesn't like to smile."
Lu Cheng stared wide-eyed at Shen Li in disbelief, his eyes seeming to say: So I'm just superfluous?
I'm trying to teach your son a lesson, and instead you're protecting him!
Ignoring the accusation in his eyes, Shen Li reached out and opened the car door, saying to Lu Cheng, "You sit in the front, my son and I will sit in the back, and we can have a proper talk."
Lu Cheng immediately retorted, his tone resolute: "No, if anyone's going to sit in the front, it'll be him. You have to sit in the back with me."
Shen Li's face fell, and she glared at him, feigning anger: "You... how can you be so unreasonable!"
Finally, unable to reach an agreement, the three of them could only sit together in the back seat, with Shen Li sandwiched between Lu Cheng and Lu Boyi.
On one side was the aggrieved husband, and on the other side was the calm son; the scene was both funny and heartwarming.
Lu Boyi glanced at his father, who was secretly competing with him, and thought to himself with a sigh: His father is really too petty; he's even jealous of his own son.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke up.
He broke the silence in the car: "Mother, are we going straight home?"
Shen Li shook her head gently and said with a smile, "No, your brother has a university graduation ceremony this afternoon. We'll go to the school first, accompany him to the graduation ceremony, and then go home together."
Lu Boyi nodded slightly, his tone calm but with a hint of concern: "Okay. By the way, Mother, are you tired? If you are, I'll have the driver take you home to rest first. Father and I will go instead."
Shen Li quickly shook her head: "I'm not tired, don't worry. How about you? Did you sleep well on the plane? Do you want to take a nap and adjust to the time difference?"
"I'm not tired. I slept well on the plane. This is a good opportunity to adjust to the time difference," Lu Boyi replied softly, his tone still calm but revealing his tenderness for his mother.
"Alright." Shen Li nodded with a smile and gently patted the back of his hand.
"We're heading to school now. If we go at this time, we'll be just in time for the ceremony to start."
The car slowly drove away from the airport and headed towards the university where Lu Boxi was studying.
Thanks to the Lu family's status, the car drove directly into the school's private parking lot and parked next to the VIP lane, saving a lot of trouble.
After the three got out of the car, they walked towards the department where Lu Boxi was located. Feng Ye followed quietly behind, carrying a bunch of sunflowers that she had just taken out of the trunk. The golden petals looked particularly eye-catching and also symbolized a bright future.
As Shen Li turned around, she happened to see the flowers in Feng Ye's hand.
She couldn't help but nod, smiling and praising, "Yes, Feng Ye, well done, you've thought of everything. I had forgotten to prepare a graduation bouquet for Bo Xi."
The sunflowers were in full bloom, their golden color dazzling, and just looking at them made one feel good. Shen Li was more and more satisfied with them.
Shen Li was fairly familiar with this school, although she didn't come here often.
But I always make time once a semester to check on the children's studies and lives.
Before the group could even go upstairs, Shen Li caught a glimpse of something not far downstairs.
There was a familiar figure standing by the flower bed, talking to a girl and smiling broadly.
She tugged at Lu Cheng beside her, pointed in that direction, and asked uncertainly, "Lu Cheng, look, isn't that your second son? Bo Xi?"
Lu Cheng looked in the direction she pointed and examined it carefully.
A helpless smile curled at the corner of his lips: "If nothing unexpected happens, it's that kid."
Shen Li's gaze was fixed on Lu Boxi.
Standing next to him was a slender, pretty girl. The two were very close, and Lu Boxi was grinning like a silly husky.
Her eyebrows curved into crescents, and her face was filled with undisguised joy.
—Shen Li knew that look all too well; it was clear that he had fallen for her.
She couldn't help but mutter to herself: This is unbearable to watch!
The distance was too far to see clearly, but judging from their expressions and actions, their relationship seemed unusual.
Besides, the eldest and second eldest are already twenty-two years old. It's normal for them to be dating. She's not the kind of old-fashioned, rigid person who would object to her children dating.
Moreover, the third son is already twenty years old.
She would accept it if her second son started dating, or even if her third son started dating.
The third child is a sophomore at the same university as the second child.
She had previously suggested that her third child study abroad, but the child was stubborn and unwilling to go.
She didn't press the matter further—if they didn't want to go, they didn't have to. As long as the children were happy and safe, that was enough.
Shen Li suppressed her thoughts and slowly walked towards the two of them.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that Lu Boxi was wearing an academic gown and a black academic cap.
She has a tall and straight posture, and the childishness in her eyes has faded, replaced by a more mature look; she looks quite good.
Lu Boxi spotted Shen Li approaching at a glance, and his eyes lit up instantly.
He immediately released the girl beside him and hurried to greet her, his voice full of surprise: "Mom! You've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for so long!"
