Lu Shao is cunning; Miss Nan has fallen for his tricks again.

Chapter 112 Staying Overnight
The three were chatting happily when Old Madam Lu came out of the kitchen.

Neither she nor Cen Xi knew that Nan Xu and Lu Zhiyan had arrived.

So she kept busy in the kitchen. She and Cenxi waited and waited, but Lu Zhiyan and Nan Xu never came.

With dinner about to be served, she thought she'd go out and make a phone call to ask.

As soon as I came out, I saw two people sitting at the tea table.

Madam Lu walked forward with a kind and gentle demeanor.

"Why didn't you say you were coming?" Old Madam Lu said, feigning anger.

Her tone sounded like she was complaining about Lu Zhiyan, but the smile on her lips betrayed her.

Upon hearing Madam Lu's voice, Nan Xu quickly got up.

He called out to Old Madam Lu in a restrained manner.

"Hello grandma."

A hint of amazement flashed in Madam Lu's eyes as she looked at Nan Xu.

What a beautiful girl.

"Okay." He said, taking Nanxu's hand and carefully examining her appearance.

The more I looked at it, the more familiar it seemed.

Nan Xu felt a little embarrassed by Madam Lu's intense gaze and secretly glanced at Lu Zhiyan out of the corner of her eye.

Lu Zhiyan instantly understood Nan Xu's meaning.

"Grandma, this is Nanxu."

“I know,” said Madam Lu, as if to say, “Do you need me to tell you?”

She already knew all this, of course. They had investigated from the moment they learned that Lu Zhiyan had a girlfriend.

"Could you please stop staring at her like that? She's embarrassed." With that, she took Nanxu's hand from Old Madam Lu's.

When the hand she was holding suddenly slipped away, Old Madam Lu feigned anger.

"Is she just shy or are you jealous? Grandma just glanced at her a couple of times, and you're getting all worked up over her."

As he spoke, he gave Lu Zhiyan a disdainful snort.

Nan Xu stood there, stunned, her face flushed.

How is this different from the rumors?
Wasn't it said that Madam Lu was difficult to get along with?

No one told her that Madam Lu was so childish in private.

Seeing that his elderly wife was still so immature, Old Master Lu spoke up to smooth things over for her.

"Alright, don't take it to heart by arguing with your grandma. She's old and still has the temper of a child."

Lu Zhiyan and Nan Xu exchanged a glance, both of them with a hint of sigh in their eyes.

An old house where a treasure.

Cenxi brought all the food to the table and looked at the few people chatting by the tea table.

She smiled and said, "Mom and Dad, Ah Sheng, Ah Xu, dinner is ready."

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Lu urged the group to start eating.

Before long, all the dishes were served on the table.

Dinner was very lavish, with a total of sixteen dishes.

It's comparable to a New Year's Eve dinner.

Nanxu loves spicy food, so almost half of the dishes on the table were Sichuan cuisine, with only a few dishes being slightly milder.

The few plates of light dishes were placed in front of Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu.

Cen Xi wore a beige long dress paired with a beige cardigan.

Her long hair was pulled back, with a few wisps of hair framing her forehead, and she wore light makeup.

Her eyes and brows exuded gentleness.

"Ah Xu, may I call you that?" Cen Xi smiled and used serving chopsticks to put a piece of boiled beef on Nan Xu's plate.

Nan Xu nodded. "Of course, Auntie."

Cenxi had video chatted with Nanxu before, and she was very satisfied with Nanxu at the time.

I feel even more fond of Nanxu now.

Nanxu picked up a piece of beef and took a bite; her eyes lit up instantly.

The beef is tender and has a wonderful aroma.

Cenxi took in Nanxu's every glance, watching her pick up food with her chopsticks one after another. Her sense of accomplishment grew even stronger.

"Ah Xu, do you like the food I made?"

"Yes, Auntie's cooking is delicious," Nan Xu praised sincerely.

"I'm glad you like it. Tell me what you like to eat, and if you come often, I'll cook it for you."

"Ah."

After dinner, they sat on the sofa and chatted.

With servants at home, Nanxu doesn't need to show off.

Besides, they all know each other well and never intended for Nanxu to be a housewife.

She was a pampered young lady born with a silver spoon in her mouth, so naturally she wouldn't suffer any grievances after marrying into their family.

Even if she didn't want to work, her family's wealth was enough for her to squander for several lifetimes.

Cenxi placed the cut fruit on the coffee table and prepared a separate portion for Nanxu.

“I know you like to eat Akizuki pears, but your parents are allergic to pears.”

As she spoke, she placed the fruit she had prepared for Nanxu beside her.

Nan Xu was somewhat flattered, not expecting that Cen Xi knew her preferences so clearly.

"Thank you auntie."

"Why are you being so polite with me? We'll be family sooner or later."

They were sitting on the sofa watching TV, chatting occasionally.

The atmosphere was so harmonious and pleasant, as if they had lived together for many years.

Nan Xu and Lu Zhiyan stood very close together. Lu Zhiyan was holding a fruit plate, while Nan Xu was holding a fork and sticking fruit in her hand.

The clock hand has already pointed to nine o'clock.

After a while, Lu Zhiyan still didn't mention going home.

Nan Xu moved a little closer to Lu Zhiyan and whispered, "Aren't we going home today?"

Lu Zhiyan listened and replied, "I'll be staying at the old house tonight."

Live in an old house?

She didn't prepare any change of clothes either.

Lu Zhiyan seemed to see through Nan Xu's thoughts. "I'm all prepared. It's just for one night."

At ten o'clock, Madam Lu yawned repeatedly and her eyelids kept drooping.

"It's getting late, I need to go and rest," said Madam Lu as she turned to leave.

Cenxi got up and helped her to the room.

Grandpa Lu waved his hand, indicating that he should go and rest.

Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu live on the first floor, while Cen Xi lives on the second floor.

Originally, Lu Zhiyan's room was also on the second floor, but Cenxi was afraid that Nanxu would feel uncomfortable living on the same floor as her, so she let them stay in a guest room on the third floor.

Lu Zhiyan pushed open the door to the guest bedroom on the third floor.

The room is quite spacious and has a private bathroom.

The room has a minimalist style with no other decorations, but the night view outside the window is quite nice.

Lu Zhiyan opened the wardrobe and took out the pajamas and underwear he had prepared for Nan Xu.

Nan Xu thought she was seeing things until she took the pajamas from Lu Zhiyan's hand.

"Is this the pajamas you prepared for me?" Nan Xu asked, hooking her finger around the collar of the pajamas in a questioning tone.

It's called pajamas, but there's really not much fabric. The top is just black lace, and the entire back is exposed.

They seemed to be trying to cover it up but weren't.

The bottom part was incredibly short; if Lu Zhiyan hadn't been carrying a black silk bathrobe, his lower body would have been completely exposed if he had bent over.

No wonder they didn't live on the same floor; she was afraid that Lu Zhiyan's fan would be too loud and disturb Cen Xi.

"Hmm, don't you really like this kind of thing?" Lu Zhiyan's upturned lips held a hint of amusement.

Nan Xu strode forward and tackled Lu Zhiyan firmly onto the bed.

With her legs on Lu Zhiyan's sides, the movement was so fast that Lu Zhiyan didn't react in time.

After regaining his senses, seeing the two in such an ambiguous position, Lu Zhiyan's lips curled up even more.
