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

Chapter 202 New Year’s Eve

Nan Xu rubbed her forehead, pretending to be angry as she looked at Lu Zhiyan, "Since you already know, why did you flick me? I'm angry!"

Lu Zhiyan chuckled, "When are you going to change your picky eating habits? Have you forgotten how difficult it is for you to go to the toilet?"

Upon hearing this, Nan Xu's face instantly turned red. "You, surnamed Lu, if you say anything I don't like again, you can get back to the capital!"

This happened so long ago, why are you bringing it up again?
On such a romantic day, do we really have to embarrass her?
"I'm not an outsider. I'm just reminding you to eat more vegetables," Lu Zhiyan said, putting the vegetables into the microwave and leaning against the wall as he looked at Nan Xu.

Nanxu remained unmoved, gritting her teeth and continuing to lean back on the sofa, crumpling the pillow in her arms.

"Alright." Lu Zhiyan walked over and hugged Nan Xu's shoulders from behind. "I won't say it again next time. Please don't hold it against me, okay?"

"Tch." Nan Xu pinched Lu Zhiyan's ear and threatened her, "Don't let this happen again, understand?"

"I know."

Lu Zhiyan cooperated with Nan Xu's performance, pleading for mercy in a low voice.

The two had just finished dinner and it was just past nine o'clock. The nearby river and lake were bustling with activity.

They were all waiting at the riverside railing for the last minute to set off fireworks, welcoming the new year with their loved ones.

"How about we go downstairs for a walk to digest our food?" Nanxu asked, holding her baby in her arms as she stood in front of the French windows, gazing at the distant rivers and lakes.

Lu Zhiyan was tidying up the table when he immediately saw through Nan Xu's little scheme. "You don't actually want to digest your food, you just want to go down and join the fun, don't you?"

Even after being exposed, Nanxu didn't throw a tantrum. She took a thicker coat out of her suitcase for Guaiguai to wear.

Then I took out the leash and put it on Guai Guai.

"Let's go." Nan Xu put on her coat and scarf and looked at Lu Zhiyan.

Lu Zhiyan put on his coat and led Nan Xu outside.

The two stood hand in hand, a little distance away from the crowd. Joining in the fun was one thing, but it didn't mean she liked to be in the middle of the crowd, especially since they had their little baby with them. The baby was so small that someone might step on it if they weren't paying attention.

The night wind was cold, howling and cutting like a knife on her face. Nanxu couldn't stand it for long.

"Let's go back, it's too cold." Nan Xu shrank her neck.

Lu Zhiyan lowered his eyes and pinched Nan Xu's face with his hand, giving a cool "Okay".

He squatted down, took the leash off Guai Guai from inside his coat, stuffed it into the coat pocket, and led Nan Xu away.

While waiting for the elevator, Lu Zhiyan and Nan Xu saw Lu Zhiruo and Shi Yuening enter from the hotel lobby.

Nan Xu raised an eyebrow. "Hmm? Yue Ning, shouldn't you be in the capital right now? What are you doing in Beicheng? And with Sister Zhiruo? When did you two become so close?"

Lu Zhiruo and Shi Yuening exchanged a glance. What should they say?
"Oh, didn't I shoot a magazine cover with Yue Ning last time? We hit it off immediately and got along so well that we decided to spend New Year's Eve together," Lu Zhiruo explained.

"I see." Nan Xu nodded.

“Mhm.” Shi Yuening quickly echoed.

As soon as she entered the door, Nanxu took off her coat and hung it on the hanger before helping Guaiguai take off her clothes. "Go wash up first."

Lu Zhiyan nodded. "Okay, you feed Guai Guai some milk."

"understood."

By the time Lu Zhiyan finished washing up, Nan Xu had already coaxed Guai Guai to sleep. The milk was like a sleeping pill; Guai Guai fell asleep shortly after drinking it.

Nan Xu was about to enter the bathroom with her bathrobe when Lu Zhiyan stopped her. "Don't shower yet, wait a bit." "Hmm?" Nan Xu looked up at him, his dark eyes like whirlpools that made people want to get closer.

Although she knew what was going to happen, this was the North! Her skin would dry out and peel if she didn't shower, and she didn't want to spoil the mood there.

"No." Nan Xu forcefully pried Lu Zhiyan's arm away and led him into the bathroom.

Lu Zhiyan leaned against the bed playing on his phone. The betrothal gifts had already been given, and their wedding would be scheduled after the New Year.

He didn't know what kind of wedding style Nanxu liked—was it lavish, Western, French, or Chinese?

Are you having your wedding in China or abroad? On a beach, on a grassy field, or in a cathedral?
Before the wedding, we need to take wedding photos... Sigh, so many things to do. He's busy, and Nanxu is busy too, but he doesn't want Nanxu to worry about these things, so he has to do the extra work himself.

Nan Xu came out wearing a bathrobe. She didn't know Lu Zhiyan would be coming, so she hadn't prepared any flirtatious clothes...

Never mind, it doesn't matter even without these buffs; she's still very confident in her charm.

She straightened her collar, revealing a glimpse of her alluring figure, and opened the bathroom door to leave.

Surprisingly, Lu Zhiyan didn't look this way, and Nan Xu raised an eyebrow.

She pursed her lips, lifted a corner of the blanket, kicked off her slippers, and got into bed. In that instant, Lu Zhiyan put down his phone, pounced on Nan Xu, and lifted her chin so that Nan Xu would look directly at him.

Nan Xu was so startled by this sudden scene that her heart started racing. She patted her chest and looked at Lu Zhiyan with a reproachful expression, "What are you doing? You scared me!"

Lu Zhiyan's gaze traveled downwards until it stopped at Nan Xu's chest, and Nan Xu followed Lu Zhiyan's gaze and stopped at her own chest.

She licked her lips, her eyes alluring as she looked at Lu Zhiyan. "What are you looking at?"

Hearing this, Lu Zhiyan's kiss landed on Nan Xu's exposed neck. "I missed you."

"Miss me? If you miss me, what are you waiting for?"

Nan Xu's tone carried a hint of guidance, and her gentle and charming voice sounded like an invitation to Lu Zhiyan.

However, it is indeed an invitation.

Lu Zhiyan stroked Nan Xu's thigh, and Nan Xu placed her hands on Lu Zhiyan's neck, her red lips pressing tightly against Lu Zhiyan's thin lips.

The next day, Nanxu woke up in Lu Zhiyan's arms. It was already bright outside. Nanxu greedily snuggled into Lu Zhiyan's arms.

"It's already seven o'clock. Don't you have to go to the film set today?"

"I'm not going. Today is the opening ceremony, and I've never liked these kinds of occasions," Nan Xu said sullenly.

After a while, Nan Xu asked, "When...are you leaving?"

Lu Zhiyan tightened his grip on Nanxu's arm. "This afternoon, I asked my cousin. She said you don't need to stay too long. If nothing comes of it these next few days, go back to the capital."

"Hmm? Why are you bothering Sister Zhiruo?" Nanxu looked up at Lu Zhiruo.

“We’re family, so don’t worry about any troubles. If anything happens here, don’t carry it all alone. Your cousin is here, so go to her if you need anything.”

Hearing Lu Zhiyan say this made Nan Xu laugh.

"So, you're using someone else's flowers to present to Buddha?"

Lu Zhiyan: "..."

He rubbed his temples helplessly. "I don't even know what to say to you. By the way, we're getting married after the New Year. Do you have any wedding style ideas you like? And wedding photos, we need to pick a time to take them."
