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

"Yuchuan, where are you?"

"In the car."

"Why didn't you wait for me? I told you I wanted to go to your house with you..."

"No time, no service."

Ignoring Zhou Yanjin's screams on the other end of the phone, Ying Yuchuan hung up the phone directly.

Does he think he doesn't know what he's up to? He just wants to see what the wife he's talking about looks like.

He didn't want Lu Luozhi to meet this philandering and womanizing guy.

To prevent Zhou Yanjin from going to his house on his own initiative, Ying Yuchuan sent a message to Lao Ye, instructing him not to let Zhou Yanjin in if he came.

After sending the message, Ying Yuchuan felt an even stronger longing to return home.

He wanted to leave the party earlier, but he had to give the organizers face and stay for at least half an hour, otherwise he would have left long ago.

Whenever he thought about his wife waiting for him to come home, his mood would become... well, he couldn't quite put his finger on what that feeling was.

His only feeling was that he wanted to go back soon so she wouldn't have to wait too long.

"Old Wu, stop the car."

As his gaze swept past the window of a designer boutique on the roadside, Ying Yuchuan immediately took a liking to a small trinket displayed inside, so he called for Lao Wu, who was driving, to stop.

After the vehicle came to a stop on the side of the road, Ying Yuchuan got out and strode towards the boutique.

It took less than five minutes from going in to coming out.

After getting on the bus, the vehicle continued towards the Ying family mansion.

Inside the car, Ying Yuchuan casually gazed at the receding night view outside the window, but his right hand reached into the right pocket of his suit jacket.

He clutched something he had just bought tightly in his hand.

I wonder if she'll like it...

---

According to Lao Ye, Ying Yuchuan was going to a party that night and would be home late. Lu Luozhi took the liberty of having pizza with Huang Maozai outside, then strolled around for a bit before going home.

"Sister-in-law."

It seemed as if Ying Sangrou had been waiting for her. As soon as she entered the house, she couldn't wait to run towards her.

"Hey, little Rou, have you had dinner yet?"

Lu Luozhi greeted her with a smile, and Ying Sangrou, who ran over, responded softly, "I've already eaten."

After saying that, she took her hand and led her into the main house. "Sister-in-law, let's go inside. My mother bought some things for you. She wanted to give you a surprise, but you didn't come back."

Did I buy her something?

Lu Luozhi was somewhat surprised.

"Let's go in quickly."

Ying Sangrou was very enthusiastic towards her, and kept pulling her towards the living room.

Lu Ming followed leisurely behind the two girls, also curious about what his older sister's mother-in-law would buy for her.

"Mom, my sister-in-law is back."

Before she arrived, her voice preceded her. In the living room, Sheng Shuang heard her youngest daughter shout, and she looked up at her phone to follow the sound.

After a series of footsteps, she saw her youngest daughter approaching with her eldest son and daughter-in-law, followed by her younger brother.

She put down her phone, stood up, and greeted them with a smile, "Luozhi, have you had dinner yet?"

Her gentle and friendly attitude surprised Lu Luozhi.

During the two days she had a fever, Ying Yuchuan's mother would occasionally come to see her, chat with her briefly, and also instruct the chef to prepare some soup for her to nourish her body.

She thought it was only because she was sick.

but now……

"Yes, we've already eaten. My brother and I ate out before coming back."

She responded with a puzzled look, somewhat confused by her current attitude.

They don't really like her as their daughter-in-law, do they?

"I came back early today, so I went to the kitchen and stewed some medicinal soup for you two girls. Sang Rou, you and your sister-in-law can drink it together in a little while. This soup is good for your health, and it will help you avoid menstrual cramps."

"Okay, thank you, Mom."

Ying Sangrou pulled Lu Luozhi to Sheng Shuang's side and said, "Mom, didn't you say you had something to give to my sister-in-law? Hurry up and take it out."

"Look how impatient you are, even more so than when you received the item yourself."

Sheng Shuang smiled at her, then bent down and picked up the beautifully crafted large paper bags next to the sofa.

"It's nothing particularly valuable. I just happened to go to a clothing store with a friend at noon and thought some of the clothes there would suit you young people, so I bought some for you. Here, this is for you."

After handing two paper bags to Ying Sangrou, she handed two of them to Lu Luozhi with a smile, "These are for you, see if you like them."

Lu Luozhi was somewhat flattered by her kindness.

She never expected that she would buy clothes for herself.

It's one thing for her to buy things for her own daughter, but she also bought some for her as well...

She accepted it with a hint of disbelief, saying, "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Sheng Shuang then turned her gaze to Lu Mingshi, who was idling to the side, and said, "You're about the same age as my daughter, so how about I call you Mingshi from now on? Here, this is for you."

She handed the last two bags to Lu Mingshi, who unexpectedly pointed to himself, somewhat surprised, "I have some too?"

"Yes, you have one too."

Sheng Shuang noticed his surprise. "Aren't you family too?"

"Take it quickly, don't be polite with Auntie."

Seeing that he didn't take it, Sheng Shuang put the handles of the two paper bags into his hands, breaking his awkwardness.

"However, I haven't bought any men's clothes in a long time. I only bought these based on their recommendations. Try them on when you get back to your room. If they don't fit, let me know and I'll take them to exchange them."

Lu Ming stared blankly at the elegant yet approachable noblewoman in front of him, then shifted his gaze to the two paper bags in his hands.

These are clothes she bought for herself.

He was stunned, somewhat unable to believe it.

"And this one too."

Sheng Shuang then picked up two light blue brocade boxes from the coffee table in front of her. "Here are two pairs of earrings. Sang Rou, you and your sister-in-law each get one pair."

Inside the brocade box was a pair of sparkling diamond earrings. The design was understated yet elegant and unique, and they were very beautiful at first glance.

The price doesn't look cheap either.

Lu Luozhi looked at it, not daring to accept such an expensive gift, and quickly refused, "No need, these earrings are too expensive, I can't accept them..."

Sheng Shuang wouldn't let her refuse. "They're not expensive at all. They're just cheap little trinkets. Take them as a small token of my appreciation. I'll see if there's anything nice to buy for you another day."

Yuan Sangrou was also beside her, gently urging her, "Sister-in-law, please accept it. This is a token of Mother's affection."

Without saying a word, she placed the brocade box in her hand, a faint smile on the girl's beautiful face.

"I told you, Mom is a good person, so please accept this."

mom.

The siblings, Lu Luozhi and her brother, hadn't heard or used that word in a very, very long time.

It was like a ray of light that came from the sky and pierced their hearts, leaving them stunned and unable to recover for a long time.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Sheng Shuang looked at the siblings with a puzzled expression.

This complex feeling is probably only something the siblings can understand.

Lu Luozhi quickly regained her composure and quietly gazed at the elegant and noble woman before her.

"Thanks."

Three seconds later, she spoke from the bottom of her heart.

"You're welcome."

Sheng Shuang smiled, her warm eyes gazing at her. She reached out and touched her cheek again. "You've been sick for a few days, and you seem to have lost weight. Yu Chuan is really something, always telling you not to eat this or that. I'll give her a good talking to later."

After she finished speaking, her voice became even gentler and more sincere, while also conveying her goodwill.

"Luozhi, this is my first time being a mother-in-law, and I don't know if I've done a good enough job. But please give me a chance, okay? I'll learn how to be a good mother-in-law."

The original must be correct for the copy to be correct.

The kind of parents you have will determine the kind of children you raise.

Undeniably, she and Ying Yuchuan are both willing to learn another identity.

One is her husband.

One is my mother-in-law.
