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

Chapter 149 He is slowly getting closer to happiness
Lu Cheng just smiled and didn't say anything.

The sunlight outside the window was dazzling, and Nanxu was awakened by the strong sunlight. She opened her eyes sleepily, turned around and fell asleep again with her back to the sun.

Lu Zhiyan came out of the bathroom and looked at Nan Xu, who was lying on the bed like a kitten, and couldn't help but smile.

He walked quietly to the bedside, picked up the remote control for the electric curtains on the table, closed the curtains, and then carefully left the room.

It was almost noon when he took out his phone and looked at the WeChat message Lu Zhiyue had sent him, quickly typing a reply on the screen.

Nan Xu slowly woke up after Lu Zhiyan had prepared lunch.

Seeing that the room was completely dark, she threw back the covers, went downstairs, and drew back the curtains. The sunlight outside was bright, but it was too dazzling.

The snow that fell last night has mostly melted.

She went to the dressing room to change her clothes before going to the bathroom to wash up.

When Nanxu finished tidying up and appeared at the dining table, Lu Zhiyan's last soup was also served.

Seeing Nanxu come down, Lu Zhiyan smiled at her in a good mood, "How was today's meal? Did it suit your taste?"

Nan Xu glanced casually at the food on the table, pulled out a chair and sat down. "This will have to do."

Lu Zhiyan knew that Nan Xu was being stubborn, so he smiled slightly and said, "Then please have our A Ning eat a little bit, and I'll take you out to eat tonight."

"Then I'll give you face and eat a little bit, even if I have to." Nan Xu took the rice that Lu Zhiyan handed her, picked up her chopsticks, and started eating.

She didn't eat much last night, and she got up so late this morning, she must be starving.

Watching Nanxu keep picking up food, Lu Zhiyan chuckled and picked up the soup spoon from the soup bowl to serve Nanxu soup.

"Eat slowly." He said, placing the bowl of soup next to Nanxu.

"Didn't you say you were reluctant? I see... you don't seem reluctant at all." She raised an eyebrow and glanced at Nan Xu.

Nan Xu glanced at Lu Zhiyan with a hint of resentment in her eyes.

Lu Zhiyan didn't argue with her. "I've already talked to Zhiyue about shopping. She asked you to meet her at Mingnan Mountain at 2 o'clock."

Mingnanshan is the largest shopping mall in Beijing.

"When did you agree with her?" Nan Xu didn't even lift her eyelids, focusing on eating.

“Last night, but the exact time was just set.” Lu Zhiyan placed the deboned fish meat into Nan Xu’s bowl.

"Oh, are you going too?"

“I’ll go if you need me to, and I won’t go if you don’t.” Lu Zhiyan stared intently at Nan Xu.

"Maybe you shouldn't go. We're all girls, and it's going shopping. I'm afraid you'll find it boring," Nan Xu replied to Lu Zhiyan after careful consideration.

"Alright then, I'll take you to Mingnan Mountain later, and I'll pick you up again later." Lu Zhiyan put another piece of fish on Nan Xu's plate.

Watching Nan Xu eat so adorably, Lu Zhiyan smiled slightly.

He was slowly approaching happiness, and he hoped that Nanxu was too.

After lunch, we drove to the airport.

Seeing that it was almost time, Lu Zhiyue called out loudly towards the stairwell, "Auntie, are you ready? It's almost time."

Hearing the noise from downstairs, Cen Xi quickened her makeup routine until she was satisfied before picking up her coat and bag from the bed and heading outside.

"Okay, okay, I'm all packed, don't rush me." She said as she quickly went down the escalator.

Lu Zhiruo handed the pills and water to Old Madam Lu, saying, "Grandma, it's time to take your medicine."

Old Madam Lu took the medicine and water, and Lu Zhiruo waited for Old Madam Lu to finish taking the medicine before taking the water cup.

"Mom, where did you put the gift for Ah Xu? I'll take it with me," Cen Xi asked.

"Here it is." He took a small sandalwood box from the coffee table drawer and handed it to Cen Xi. "Inside is a jade bracelet." Cen Xi opened the box and saw that the bracelet was indeed of the highest quality.

"Mom, you're really generous! This is your treasured possession." Cen Xi touched the bracelet in the box.

“I’m getting old, so there’s no use for me keeping them. I’ll give them to Ruoruo and Yueyue when they have good news.” As she spoke, her gaze fell on Lu Zhiruo and Lu Zhiyue.

Lu Zhiruo pursed her lips, knowing that Old Madam Lu might never hear good news from her in her lifetime.

"Alright, it's getting late, Grandma, we should go now." Lu Zhiyue got up and walked forward.

"Okay, let's hurry up and not be late."

Lu Zhiyan and Nan Xu arrived at Mingnan Mountain before them.

"Do you have anything else to do this afternoon?" Nan Xu asked as she applied lipstick in front of the makeup mirror.

Lu Zhiyan looked at Nan Xu and shook his head seriously, "No."

“It’s still early, they won’t be here anytime soon. I see you keep changing your cufflinks, so let’s go buy two more pairs together?” Nanxu put the lipstick into her bag.

Lu Zhiyan looked down at Nan Xu, his eyes filled with tenderness and doting affection.

He had never been interested in decorations, but ever since Nanxu moved in with him...

Whether it was a free gift when he bought something or something he bought on purpose, the jewelry in his display case gradually began to accumulate.

From just a few at the beginning, to dozens now. Some are even overflowing, but the cufflinks are still the same few from the start.

"Okay."

They were like any ordinary couple, holding each other's arms.

"Do you prefer Pula's cufflinks or Tien's cufflinks?" Nanxu asked Lu Zhiyan for his opinion.

The Pula brand targets a younger demographic, while Tien caters to business professionals.

Both brands have their own unique selling points and characteristics.

Lu Zhiyan hesitated for a moment; he didn't even know which two brands Nan Xu was referring to.

"Uh, whichever brand you think suits me, we'll buy that brand?"

Nan Xu looked at him with suspicion and asked the question that had been on her mind, "You...you don't know about these two brands, do you?"

"Maybe."

They went to Pula and randomly picked out two pairs of cufflinks. Just after they paid, Lu Zhiyue called.

"Sister-in-law, we've arrived. Where are you?" Lu Zhiyue sat in the passenger seat, fidgeting as if she had a nail in her butt.

"We just finished shopping at Pula and are about to leave." Nan Xu took the bag that the sales clerk had packed and handed it to Lu Zhiyan behind her.

"Us? You invited other people too?" Lu Zhiyue asked in confusion.

"It's Lu Zhiyan. I'm going with him to buy two pairs of cufflinks."

"Oh, is that so? Then wait for us in Pula for a moment, we'll be there soon." She opened the car door and prepared to get out.

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Nan Xu looked at Lu Zhiyan with a little nervousness. "Although I get along well with Aunt Cen, I'm not familiar with my sister and Zhiyue yet. Will there be any awkward situations during our shopping trip?"

"No, Zhiyue is a very lively little girl. I'm sure there won't be any awkward silences during our shopping trip. Besides, my mom is here, so don't worry." Lu Zhiyan patted Nan Xu's back reassuringly.

Nan Xu took a deep breath. "I hope so."
