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

Chapter 213 Setting a Wedding Date, Their Busy Lives
"It's alright, it's alright, Uncle Ji is with you. Just sit down and rest."

After a while, the two elderly people returned carrying the cake.

Nanxu hurriedly got up to greet "Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu".

Madam Lu waved her hand first, gesturing for Nanxu to sit down, and then handed her the cake in her hand. "I heard from Zhiyan that you love Zhenwei's cakes, so your grandfather and I went to queue up early this morning."

Nan Xu took the document and looked at Lu Zhiyan with some confusion.

Lu Zhiyan gave her a reassuring look.

She smiled faintly and said, "Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma."

"It's alright, it's alright, sit down and have some tea." Old Madam Lu took off her scarf and handed it to Uncle Ji behind her.

“I heard you’re getting married. February 12th is an auspicious date. If you think it’s okay, your grandfather and I will start making preparations.”

Nan Xu didn't speak, she just looked at Lu Zhiyan.

She didn't know how to respond to that... She hadn't told Lin Jingshu about it yet.

How could she make such a big decision as marriage so casually?
"Grandma, let Mom and Aunt Lin discuss it before making a decision. What are you going to say to A-Xu?"

Nan Xu gave Lu Zhiyan an approving look.

Madam Lu then came to her senses and chuckled twice. "Haha, I didn't understand. There's no rush. Let Xiaoxi and Jingshu discuss it before making a decision."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Zhiruo and Lu Zhiyue came downstairs. Lu Zhiyue was especially happy to see Nan Xu.

She jogged over, sat down next to Nanxu, and affectionately took Nanxu's arm. "Sister Nanxu, you're here. What have you been busy with these past few days? I asked you to go shopping, but you didn't go."

"Uh." Nan Xu glanced at Lu Zhiyan without showing any emotion, while Lu Zhiyan looked at them calmly, as if nothing had happened.

"I've had some things to take care of at home these past few days, and I've also been quite busy at work, so..."

"Oh, is that so? Are you free after the New Year? Let's go skiing in Snow City together!" Lu Zhiyue suggested enthusiastically.

"I'm afraid that won't work. Our company is expanding into new projects after the New Year, so we might be quite busy. But once we're done with this busy period, we can go to Syracuse together."

Lu Zhiyue pouted, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes. "Alright then."

Lu Zhiruo walked over and gently patted Lu Zhiyue's shoulder. "Alright, everyone is busy with work, so don't cause any trouble. Just focus on your studies at school."

“I’m studying hard…” Lu Zhiyue muttered under her breath, dissatisfied.

"If you had studied hard, you wouldn't have failed your courses."

Lu Zhiruo poured a bucket of cold water on Lu Zhiyue, leaving her completely disoriented.

"Sister!" Lu Zhiyue blushed and looked at Lu Zhiruo with displeasure.

Lu Zhiruo poured herself a cup of tea, took a small sip, and her eyes were full of laughter. "Am I wrong?"

Now it was Lu Zhiyue's turn to be silent. Even if it were true, she couldn't afford to lose face in front of so many people...

Seeing the atmosphere gradually cooling down, Nan Xu quickly comforted her, "It's okay. Actually, I failed a few times in college too. It's really okay."

"Don't lie to me, Sister Xu. Your photo is on the wall of outstanding graduates at Peking University."

Ah this...

Nan Xu touched her nose, realizing that the more she tried to explain, the worse it got... Now she didn't know what to say.

The New Year holiday passed quickly.

After that day, Cenxi asked Lin Jingshu to meet up to discuss marriage. The two had a very pleasant conversation, and Lin Jingshu's principle was that as long as Nanxu was willing, it would be fine.

She only has one daughter, so naturally she dotes on her immensely.

The matter was settled.

The next morning, Lu Zhiyan drove to the Lin family to pick up Nanxu.

Lin Jingze left after the third day of the Lunar New Year due to her busy work schedule, and Lin Jingheng and Chen Hui were also busy with their own work. Lin Jingshu, on the other hand, accompanied her parents to Snow City for skiing.

Currently, only Lin Zhengyu and Nan Xu remain at the Lin residence.

Uncle Wang, the Lin family's butler, helped Nan Xu carry her luggage out of the courtyard.

Nan Xu was wearing a khaki wool coat and a khaki plaid long skirt, holding her baby in her arms.

Seeing this, Lu Zhiyan opened the door wide, got out of the car, took the luggage from Uncle Wang's hands, and put it into the trunk.

Nanxu was afraid of the cold, so she carried her baby into the passenger seat.

The New Year has passed, but the snow in Beijing is still falling lightly.

"Since we still have some free time these few days, let's go take a look at the banquet hall. Do you prefer Western or Chinese style?" Lu Zhiyan asked as he drove.

Nan Xu pondered for a while. She actually preferred the grand and majestic style of Chinese design, but she couldn't bear to give up the romantic and beautiful style of Western design.

Why can't a person get married twice? Once in a Chinese style and once in a Western style.

The idea popped into her head, but she immediately dismissed it. A second marriage would be a second marriage, and she didn't want to get married again.

Seeing that Nanxu remained silent for a long time, Lu Zhiyan knew that she was undecided. "If you like them all, then we'll do them all."

Nan Xu was utterly astonished: "Having two wedding ceremonies means it's a second marriage!"

"So what if you can't make up your mind to do it twice? You're not short of money, so what's wrong with that?"

"But what kind of good family holds two weddings? It's like a premonition of a second marriage," Nan Xu muttered to herself.

Lu Zhiyan's mind raced. "Then... we can emphasize the wedding procession, but have a Western-style banquet in the reception hall, or perhaps switch it up a bit. That should be fine, right?"

Actually, this is one possible solution.

"I'll think about it some more..."

Nanxu didn't make up her mind until she got home.

"Then do as you say."

"Okay, then we'll go find a wedding planner tomorrow."

Actually, this is something the newlyweds should do together, but considering each other's work interests and busy schedules, they decided to hire a wedding planner instead.

They have no idea how much money they could have made with all that wasted time.

Over the next few days, they contacted the best wedding planning company in the country and began planning their wedding.

With less than two months until the wedding, Nanxu decided to use the wedding dress designed by Zhou Zan for her main wedding dress.

The remaining items include the Ming-style phoenix coronet and embroidered robe worn during the wedding procession, but no formal attire was chosen for the toasting ceremony.

In the following days, Lu Zhiyan hired a well-known designer in the industry to design Nan Xu's dress.

Lu Zhiyan was more casual; he didn't have high requirements, as long as it matched Nan Xu's clothes.

Once the eighth day of the lunar new year passed, Nan Xu and Lu Zhiyan gradually began to immerse themselves in their work.

The intangible cultural heritage program that Lin Zhengyu mentioned has also been discussed by Nan Xu and Lu Zhiyan. It is feasible, but the timing is not right now.

Nanxu meant that the project could be temporarily suspended, and once the company had sufficient funds in its accounts, it could begin investing in the program.

Lin Zhengyu's response was calm. He said he had thought about it and that his initial purpose in starting the company was to make money, not to do charity.

He certainly poured his heart and soul into that project, but that doesn't mean he's prepared to hang himself on that crooked tree.

They then invested in several TV series, none of which were big productions. These investments, within their means, were almost guaranteed to be profitable.

Nanxu invested in two productions. The first one, "The Sound of the Other Side," was a low-budget web series, but it performed very well, and Nanxu made a fortune.
