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

Chapter 138 What's with the boasting about loading cargo!
The skirt was very long, and Nanxu walked in front while Zhiyan helped her lift the back of the skirt.

Once in the car, Lu Zhiyan quickly draped a shawl over Nan Xu's shoulders and turned on the car's heater.

The hair salon is not far from Jiangbei International; it's only a ten-minute drive away.

Grandpa Lu was very generous; his only grandson simply waved his hand and booked the entire Jiangbei International Hotel. The large screen displayed couple photos of Nan Xu and Lu Zhiyan that they had taken previously.

Because the photos were taken shortly before the engagement, and both of them were busy with work at the time, they only had half a day to take them. There aren't many photos, but fortunately, they are enough for today's engagement banquet.

Nanxu looked at the photos of the two of them scrolling across the screen, her eyes overflowing with love.

As soon as the car entered the underground parking garage, Lu Zhiyan's phone rang. He was busy reversing when he heard the phone ring, and without thinking, he said to Nan Xu, "My phone is in my right suit pocket, answer it for me."

"Oh." Nan Xu responded by reaching into Lu Zhiyan's suit pocket.

I took out my phone and glanced at the contact name; it was Grandpa Lu.

"Hey, Grandpa," Nanxu called out sweetly.

Upon hearing Nan Xu's voice, Grandpa Lu's voice softened as well, "It's Xu, I wanted to ask where you are? The engagement banquet is about to begin."

“We’ve arrived. Zhiyan is parking the car. We’ll be up in a bit,” Nanxu explained patiently.

"Okay, then we'll wait for you in the banquet hall." With that, he hung up the phone.

At this moment, Lu Zhiyan also parked the car, turning off the engine in one smooth motion.

What did Grandpa say to you?

"Nothing much, just that the banquet is about to start and they asked when we'd arrive." Nan Xu stared at Lu Zhiyan and stuffed her phone into his pocket.

Lu Zhiyan's right hand had already quietly touched Nan Xu's back without her noticing. By the time Nan Xu realized what Lu Zhiyan was doing, it was too late.

He turned his head and embraced Nanxu's slender back, leaning closer to her. He gently kissed Nanxu's red lips.

Nan Xu was held by Lu Zhiyan until she felt that it was about time, and then she gently pushed Lu Zhiyan away.

"Alright, that's enough. Grandpa and the others are still waiting." She glanced at Lu Zhiyan as she spoke.

Lu Zhiyan pursed his lips, preparing to open the car door and get out, but Nan Xu grabbed his hand.

He looked at Nan Xu with a puzzled expression, as if asking, "What's wrong?"
Nan Xu lowered her eyes, took out a tissue from her bag, and gestured for Lu Zhiyan to come closer with her other hand. Although Lu Zhiyan was a little confused, he still moved closer to Nan Xu.

Until the tissue in Nanxu's hand landed on Lu Zhiyan's thin lips, Nanxu stared intently at Lu Zhiyan's thin lips and gently wiped away the lipstick from his lips.

Nan Xu directly stuffed the tissue she had used to wipe her lipstick into Lu Zhiyan's hand, then bent down and stuffed the remaining tissues into Lu Zhiyan's hand.

Without even looking up, he ordered, "Go, take out the trash."

Lu Zhiyan looked at the tissue in his hand, sighed silently, and stuffed it into his pocket.

There are no trash cans in the underground parking garage.

Nan Xu looked in the mirror for a while to make sure her makeup and styling were okay before getting out of the car. Lu Zhiyan had already gotten out of the car and was standing next to the passenger seat waiting for Nan Xu to get out.

Nan Xu found it inconvenient to wear this dress, so Lu Zhiyan had to stand behind her and help her lift the hem of her skirt.

The underground parking garage was deserted. Seeing Nan Xu's thin dress, Lu Zhiyan reached out and pulled her into his arms.

"Why are you standing so close to me?" Nan Xu looked up at Lu Zhiyan.

"I was worried you'd be cold." With that, he led Nanxu toward the elevator.

This scene was particularly jarring to Zheng Zhixi. She glared fiercely at the two departing figures, her fists clenched tightly together, and she slammed her fists hard on the steering wheel.

"Why? Why should Brother Lu choose her? What am I lacking?" Zheng Zhixi muttered to herself, her eyes vacant.

As the numbers on the elevator screen kept jumping up, Lu Zhiyan and Nan Xu exchanged a glance.

"Are you sure Uncle Lu is okay?" Nan Xu was still a little uneasy.

Lu Zhiyan chuckled and put his arm around Nan Xu's waist. "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

Recalling their previous conversation, Lu Zhiyan's eyes darkened. By the time the two of them arrived, almost everyone else had already come. Lin Jingshu and the old Mrs. and Mr. Lin were chatting idly to one side. Cen Xi and Lu Ji stood together with faint smiles on their lips, their expressions cold and distant.

Cen Xi held a glass of red wine, staring idly at the liquid swirling within. It was Chen Hui who broke the awkward and distant atmosphere.

"Cenxi, it's been a long time." Chen Hui, dressed in a black dress and holding a glass of champagne, spoke to Cenxi with a smile, completely ignoring Lu Ji and ignoring him.

When Cenxi saw Chen Hui, her eyes lit up. "Yes, I just got back from vacation in the Maldives. I really liked the gift you asked Zhiyan to bring me. I've been meaning to thank you."

"Oh dear, given our relationship, you're really too kind of you to take such a small thing to heart," Chen Hui said with a smile.

Lu Ji looked up at Chen Hui as if he wanted to say something, but was immediately silenced by a sudden glare from Chen Hui.

He picked up the wine glass next to him and took a sip.

Upon seeing Nan Xu, Zhou Zan, Yan Xiaoxiao, and their group immediately surrounded her.

Lu Zhiyan stood to one side, struggling internally for a long time. In the end, he decided to leave.

On the other side, Jiang Yu and Huo Xingchuan watched with great interest as Lu Zhiyan walked towards them from beside Nan Xu.

"Look at this, having a fiancée really makes a difference, huh?" Jiang Yu pressed his tongue against the roof of his mouth and nudged Huo Xingchuan with his elbow.

Huo Xingchuan glanced at Lu Zhiyan, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes.

He envied Lu Zhiyan so much, both for the atmosphere at home and for his own love. The only thing he didn't envy was that he himself had a complete family.

But that wasn't his family either.

In the future, Lu Zhiyan will still have his lover and children by his side, but he will only be all alone.

Jiang Yu, not getting the reply he wanted, glanced at Huo Xingchuan with a puzzled look. He clearly saw the emotions in Jiang Yu's eyes, and he hesitated to speak.

It feels like anything he says now would be inappropriate.

After Lu Zhiyan arrived, his gaze remained fixed on Nan Xu. Jiang Yu, seeing Lu Zhiyan's infatuated look, secretly rolled his eyes. "Is it really necessary? You're with us and you're still staring at Nan Xu. Do you think she's going to run away?"

"Who knows?" Lu Zhiyan's gaze remained fixed on Nan Xu, not even glancing at Jiang Yu.

"I heard your fiancée has a few childhood sweethearts?" Jiang Yu pestered Lu Zhiyan with gossipy questions.

Several more? Where did you hear this rumor?

"No, just one." Lu Zhiyan glanced at Jiang Yu indifferently.

"What? You feel it's a pity that there aren't enough competitive options?"

Lu Zhiyan lifted his eyelids and gave Jiang Yu a cold look. "Sometimes I really want to kick you back to America."

"Hey, hey, let me tell you, I've finished my studies in the United States, and I'm staying in Beijing from now on." Jiang Yu's voice was filled with pride.

"Speaking of which, you got engaged after knowing each other for only four months, is it because you two..." As she spoke, her gaze shifted to Nan Xu's flat stomach.

He really couldn't think of any other reason.

Although there are many whirlwind marriages, he didn't believe it was such a coincidence that the families were so well-matched and their compatibility was so great.

"Nothing."

"Then why are you in such a hurry?"

"You'll understand when you find someone you like." She said, a happy smile appearing on her lips.

Seeing Lu Zhiyan's worthless attitude, Jiang Yu rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.

You'll know when you find someone you like.
Jiang Yu curled his lip.

What are we showing off? Loading up cargo!
