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

Chapter 144 Do I have any plans for tomorrow?
The banquet ended at 10 o'clock, and Nan Xu and Lu Zhiyan went back just after 9:30.

Nan Xu, holding onto the cabinet in the entryway, kicked off her high heels, put on slippers, and went inside. Lu Zhiyan followed behind, helping her put the high heels into the shoe cabinet.

Lu Zhiyan took off his coat and draped it over his arm; there were still some snowflakes in his hair. Nan Xu went to the kitchen and poured two glasses of warm water, handing one to Lu Zhiyan.

He drank quite a bit at the banquet hall; each of his business partners offered him a toast, enough to make him drink a whole pot. Huo Xingchuan helped him fend off a lot of the drinks, but he still drank quite a bit himself.

"You've had quite a bit to drink, have some water to soothe your throat first."

Lu Zhiyan reeked of alcohol. He reached out, took the drink, and said, "It's too cold. Aren't you going upstairs to change your clothes?"

He had just returned and hadn't had time to turn on the floor heating yet; the servants had all gone home.

"You know it's cold, why don't you hurry up and wash up so I can warm the bed? I'll make you a cup of honey water and then come up." Nan Xu's tone was somewhat arrogant as she stared straight at Lu Zhiyan.

Lu Zhiyan chuckled, placed the cup on the table, reached out and put his arm around Nan Xu's slender waist, then lowered his head and gently pecked Nan Xu's red lips.

The faint smell of alcohol on his body stung Nanxu's nostrils. Nanxu took a small step back. "You smell of alcohol. Go take a shower."

Lu Zhiyan chuckled and pinched the soft flesh around Nan Xu's waist. "Okay."

When Nan Xu went upstairs with the honey water, she just missed Lu Zhiyan. Lu Zhiyan had just entered the bathroom when Nan Xu pushed open the bedroom door.

Nanxu stood by the French windows, admiring the snow falling heavily on the balcony. The peaceful, beautiful scene was shattered by a ringing cell phone.

It was Lu Zhiyan's phone ringing. Nan Xu glanced at the screen; it was a local Beijing number.

She glanced at Lu Zhiyan, who was taking a shower in the bathroom, and then answered the phone.

As soon as the call connected, a noisy voice came from the other end: "Didn't you say you'd send me your sister-in-law's WeChat and phone number when you got home? What time is it and you're still not home? You're so slow taking your time answering the phone, do you even care what I said?!"

Nan Xu immediately recognized Lu Zhiyue's voice, but it felt like her eardrums had been pierced by the extremely penetrating sound, and she rubbed her ears.

"Zhiyue, it's Nanxu. Your brother is washing up." Nanxu scratched her forehead; her ears were still throbbing.

Lu Zhiyue glanced at her phone and then at Lu Zhiruo, who was driving beside her.

Lu Zhiruo felt Lu Zhiyue's gaze, turned around and looked at her, "What's wrong?"

“It’s my sister-in-law,” Lu Zhiyue said silently.

"Then just ask her out, what are you afraid of?"

Lu Zhiyue swallowed hard. "Well, sister-in-law, I'd like to ask you to go shopping tomorrow. Do you have time?"

shop?

Nan Xu hesitated for a moment, then said, "I need to see if I have any plans for tomorrow. How about this, I'll add you on WeChat, and if I don't have any plans for tomorrow, I'll send you a message."

“That works too.” Lu Zhiyue nodded. “My phone number is my WeChat ID.”

"Okay, I know."

After hanging up the phone, Nan Xu took out her phone and searched for the number on Lu Zhiyan's phone in the search bar.

The moment the message was sent, Lu Zhiyue immediately agreed.

At that moment, Lu Zhiyan came out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe, his hair still dripping wet. As he wiped his hair with a towel, he asked.

"I think I just heard my phone ring. Did you answer it?"

"I answered, it's Zhiyue. She kept asking to add me on WeChat, we just finished chatting." She handed him her phone.

Lu Zhiyan took the phone, glanced at it, and threw it on the table. "Go wash up quickly, don't catch a cold."

"Okay, I've put the honey water on the table for you, remember to drink it." She then went to the dressing room to get a change of clothes. When Nan Xu came out of the bathroom, Lu Zhiyan was already lying in bed scrolling through his phone.

Nan Xu had just lifted the blanket when she touched it; it was cold. She frowned and touched it further inside; Lu Zhiyan's area was warm.

She walked around to the foot of the bed and went to Lu Zhiyan's bedside. "Where are you going to sleep?"

Lu Zhiyan raised an eyebrow and glanced at Nan Xu, who obediently moved to the other side.

Nan Xu smiled contentedly, lifted the covers, and lay down. "What are my plans for tomorrow?"

Lu Zhiyan was confused. Shouldn't this question be asked of Lin Zhengyu?

"You should ask your brother about this, right?" Lu Zhiyan replied calmly.

Nan Xu glanced at Lu Zhiyan listlessly, then turned her back to him.

Didn't he understand what was being said?
Never mind, if I don't understand, then forget it.

She opened WeChat and replied to Lu Zhiyue: I don't have any plans for tomorrow, I can go shopping with you.

Without waiting for Lu Zhiyue's reply, he placed his phone on the bedside table, turned off the nightlight, and closed his eyes to sleep.

Lu Zhiyan looked at Nan Xu, whose eyes were tightly closed, his expression unreadable. Was she angry?
Turning off the phone, putting the phone away, and turning off the night light were all done in one smooth motion.

Lu Zhiyan pulled Nan Xu into his arms and hugged her from behind. Nan Xu did not struggle and was held by Lu Zhiyan.

After a while, Lu Zhiyan's hands started to wander. Nan Xu was already sleepy. She turned her head with difficulty to look at Lu Zhiyan, her voice a little hoarse, "I'm going shopping with Zhiyue tomorrow."

"Can't I stop bothering you for so long today?" Lu Zhiyan buried his head in Nan Xu's shoulder, greedily inhaling the fragrance emanating from her body.

"Why didn't you answer when I asked you earlier? Now you want to talk? No way." She slapped away Lu Zhiyan's hand that was on her waist.

Lu Zhiyan retorted without giving a chance to explain, "Where did you ask me just now?"

Nanxu was feeling sleepy and didn't bother with him.

Seeing that Nan Xu was ignoring him, Lu Zhiyan first picked up his phone and sent a WeChat message to Lu Zhiyue: Let's go shopping again tomorrow afternoon.

After putting down his phone, he kissed Nanxu's neck.

At first, Nan Xu didn't feel anything and thought Lu Zhiyan was just comforting her. But when she didn't react, Lu Zhiyan lost interest.

Unexpectedly, Lu Zhiyan went further and further, his hand slipping inside his bathrobe from his waist. Now, it wasn't just Lu Zhiyan who was suffering.

Nan Xu was no longer sleepy, and when she looked down, she saw that her bathrobe was already half off.

"Look what you've done to my bathrobe!" Nan Xu turned around and looked at Lu Zhiyan with a resentful tone.

In the pitch-black room, the two locked eyes, and Lu Zhiyan kissed Nan Xu's red lips without a word, leaving her no room to refuse.

As they kissed, Nanxu's eyes began to glaze over, and her face flushed with desire.

Outside, the snow continued to fall heavily, but the bedroom temperature remained high. The two figures overlapped through the frosted glass.

Lu Zhiyue got out of the car and saw the WeChat message from Lu Zhiyan on her phone, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

She replied to Lu Zhiyan: Why in the afternoon? My sister-in-law told me she doesn't have any work scheduled for tomorrow morning.

Seeing that Lu Zhiyan had not yet replied, she sent a few more WeChat messages.

The message seemed to disappear into thin air; she received no reply.
