Oh no! His rural wife is sweeter than a peach!

Seeing him staring intently at Lu Luozhi, Lanling whispered beside him, "She's Yuchuan's wife. Her surname is Lu, and her name is Lu Luozhi. Look closely, doesn't she look somewhat like us?"

She smiled and said, "The more I look at it, the more it seems to resemble me."

"Aunt Lan, why did you buy so much stuff?"

Lu Luozhi gave her a warm hug with one arm.

"Is this too much? Not really. If the car wasn't already full, I would have liked to buy more."

Lanling asked her with concern, "Is your arm any better today? Does it still hurt?"

"It still hurts a little, but it's a little bit better than yesterday."

Lu Luozhi smiled and responded, glancing at the handsome man beside her.

Lanling quickly pulled Pei Cong over to introduce him to her, "Luozhi, this is Auntie's husband. His surname is Pei, and his name is Pei Cong. You can call him Uncle Pei."

Pei Cong kept looking at her. Lu Luozhi smiled at him and said in a cheerful voice, "Hello, Uncle Pei, it's nice to meet you for the first time."

Just being stared at like that by him stirred up some inexplicable feelings within her.

It seemed like she had known him for a long time.

She secretly laughed at herself.

How could that be? We've known each other for a long time?

It's probably because business celebrities like him often appear in business news, and seeing him in person suddenly in real life made them feel a sense of familiarity.

"Hello there."

Pei Cong secretly sized her up.

Suddenly, he seemed to understand why his wife couldn't forget this girl.

Her smile was radiant and so warm that it made you want to get closer to her.

"Oh, Aunt Lan, Uncle Pei is so handsome!"

Lu Luozhi nudged Lanling gossipily, "Everyone says handsome guys are paired with beautiful girls, and it turns out it's true."

Lanling said somewhat embarrassedly, "He's getting a bit old. He was better looking when he was younger."

"Really?" she asked with interest. "Do you have any photos of him when he was young? Could you show them to everyone?"

"sure."

Bluebell smiled, and for some reason, she just wanted to fulfill all her requests.

"Don't stand here yet, let's talk inside."

Lanling instructed the housekeeper to unload everything from the trunk, and then warmly invited Lanling and her husband into the house.

"Sis, Ying Xiaomei and I are going to buy some yummy food. Do you want some?"

As she entered the living room, Lu Mingshi, who was outside the garden, poked his head in through the living room's French windows and asked her a question.

"want."

"OK".

After he finished speaking, he walked away side by side with Ying Sangrou, who was still holding the kitten in her arms.

Seeing this, Pei Cong asked her calmly, "Miss Lu, how old are you this year? You and your younger brother seem to be about the same age."

He was quite suspicious, because the siblings didn't look alike at all.

"Me? I'm twenty-three years old this year."

Lu Luozhi smiled broadly, "I'm five years older than my brother. Don't let his thin appearance fool you; he's actually nineteen years old."

"Our family was poor before, and he didn't get enough nutrition, so he grew up to be as thin as a bamboo pole."

Her smile gave Lanling and her husband a truly warm and welcoming feeling.

Pei Cong then asked, "Have you always lived in the countryside?"

"husband."

When Lanling heard him ask that question, she felt it was inappropriate, so she nudged him lightly to indicate that she shouldn't pry into his private matters.

Moreover, all his family members have passed away, so it wouldn't be appropriate for him to ask any further questions.

Why are you prying into other people's private affairs?

Besides, what's wrong with living in the countryside?

"Yes, we used to live in the countryside."

Lu Luozhi didn't think there was anything to hide, after all, it was the truth.

"Come, have some tea."

Sheng Shuang brought out several cups of iced fruit tea that she had made herself from the kitchen, followed by a maid carrying several exquisitely crafted pastries.

Pei Cong,

Sheng Shuang smiled and said, "I'll make an appointment with you in advance. You absolutely must come when Yu Chuan holds his wedding."

Pei Cong smiled calmly, "Of course. Even if you hadn't invited me to Yu Chuan's wedding, I would have shamelessly attended. Come to think of it, I'm practically an elder who watched Yu Chuan grow up, aren't I?"

He sighed, "When I first met him, he was only a few years old, maybe four or five. Now, in the blink of an eye, he's reached marriageable age. Time flies."

Then Lanling remembered something else, "Sister Shuang, do you remember when I had just given birth and was still in my postpartum confinement period, you brought Yuchuan to visit us at the postpartum care center..."

At this point, a hint of excitement appeared on her beautiful face, "Back then, Yuchuan even held the little bun."

Sheng Shuang also recalled this somewhat forgotten past event.

"That's right."

She also got excited, "The week after you gave birth, I did bring Yuchuan to visit you and your daughter."

Little Baozi is the nickname of Lanling's stolen daughter.

She disappeared before she even had a proper name.

"Back then, I was even thinking, why don't we just arrange a marriage between them when they're all children..."

As Lanling spoke, her excitement quickly faded. "I never expected it, I never expected it..."

Unexpectedly, not long after, her child was stolen and never found again.

Sheng Shuangfa noticed her expression.

She secretly blamed herself, wondering why she had to bring up such a sensitive topic.

Why bring this up out of the blue?

I was extremely annoyed.

As Lu Luozhi listened to their conversation, she noticed that Lanling's face suddenly darkened. She sat down in the empty seat next to Lanling and put her right arm around Lanling's arm with her uninjured right hand.

"Aunt Lan, you haven't shown Uncle Pei a picture of him when he was young yet."

She smiled and quickly changed the subject.

Sheng Shuang looked at her gratefully.

She received it and gave her a wink.

It's okay, watch me.

"Yes, yes, I haven't shown you the photos yet."

Upon being asked this question, Lanling instantly forgot what she had just said. She quickly took out her phone from her bag, unlocked it, and flipped through the photo album for a while, finding several photos of her and Pei Cong when they were young.

She was indeed a beauty in her youth.

In the photo, Lanling is as beautiful as a fairy, with a charming smile and the ethereal quality of a noble lady. Beside her, Pei Cong is also full of vigor and handsome, wearing a casual jacket and jeans. He has one arm around her shoulder. The two of them took this photo on a foreign street.

Pei Cong is somewhat like Leon Lai from the 1990s.

However, his facial features are more defined, and now that he is over middle-aged, he appears more composed and mature, and his heroic spirit remains undiminished.

As Lu Luozhi watched, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

With such a handsome man and a beautiful woman, their child must be incredibly beautiful.

She couldn't help but wonder what their missing child would be like when he grew up.

Pei Cong's gaze lingered on the photo and Lu Luozhi's face.

Looking at it this way, this deer vine branch looks even more like a young bluebell.

A bold possibility began to surface in my mind.

Could Luluzhi be their child?

As he looked at it, he immediately denied his absurd idea.

How could that be?

She has parents.

Her parents' surname is Lu, and she has a younger brother.

It's just that this younger brother doesn't look much like her.
