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

Sheng Shuang took her hands in hers, her gaze extremely sincere.

"Sang Rou said that you are a very, very good person. You often talk and chat with her. She said that she hasn't felt that the house is so lively and happy in a long time. Since you came, there has been a lot more laughter in the house. I have also noticed that she has become more talkative lately. You know, this child is a bit introverted and doesn't talk much. This must be thanks to you."

"Although we don't know each other before and have never met, how about we give each other a chance to get to know each other from now on?"

Who could hear such sincere and heartfelt words and not react at all?

Lu Luozhi gripped the brocade box tightly in her hand, her throat tightened, and she swallowed again.

Under the watchful eyes of Sheng Shuang and Ying Sangrou, she opened her mouth and tried to speak.

"I... I might not be as good as you think..."

"What are you talking about?"

Ying Yuchuan's sudden voice interrupted her from what she was about to say.

---

When Ying Yuchuan returned home late, he had just entered the living room when he saw his mother, sister, and siblings, Lu Luozhi and her brother.

He thought his mother would say something unpleasant to Lu Luozhi, so he hurried over. But after a few steps, he was surprised to find that the atmosphere between them was not as bad as he had imagined; in fact, it was quite harmonious.

As soon as he spoke, everyone in the living room looked at him.

Sheng Shuang first took Lu Luozhi's hand affectionately.

"I was chatting with my daughter-in-law. Is chatting not allowed?"

Ying Sangrou also showed him the paper bag in her hand, "Big brother, Mom bought clothes for me and my sister-in-law."

"Yeah?"

Ying Yuchuan's gaze fell on Lu Luozhi's face.

His words from that morning were still fresh in her mind, and now that she saw him again, Lu Luozhi seemed a little uncomfortable.

But she still smiled and waved to him, "Hi, you're back from get off work?"

He hummed in agreement.

His gaze was meaningful, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated to speak.

At this moment, Sheng Shuang spoke up enthusiastically, "Yu Chuan, Mom learned a new Hong Kong-style dessert. You're back just in time. Why don't you try it with them and see how it tastes?"

"it is good."

Ying Sangrou followed her mother into the kitchen, leaving Ying Yuchuan and Lu Luozhi, the siblings, alone in the living room.

Lu Mingshi, who hadn't said much, sensed that the atmosphere between the two was a bit strange.

"Sis, did you two have a fight?"

He asked in a low voice.

No way.

She glanced at him and said, "What do I have to argue with him about?"

"Then why are you all acting so strangely?"

"What's strange about it?"

There's something strange about the deer's cry; it's just...strange.

Even after finishing the dessert, Lu Ming still felt that the two of them were acting strangely.

It's like, just like those couples arguing on TV.

On the way back to the hospital, Lu Luozhi was unusually silent. She used to love making conversation and chatting with him about this and that, but now...

Ying Yuchuan glanced at her beside him and broke the unusual silence.

"You went out?"

The bark of the deer basket branch felt numb.

Oh no, I forgot about that.

"The blond-haired kid said he wanted to eat pizza, so I took him to eat pizza..."

"Um."

yeah?

Doesn't he mention her?

He told her to stay home when he left in the morning.

She completely forgot what he said, and as a result, he didn't even mention her?

"I'm sorry, I don't think I listened to you again..."

Will voluntarily confessing lead to a lighter sentence?

She kept her head down and spoke in a muffled voice.

"You are indeed disobedient, but I'll let it go this time."

Ying Yuchuan stopped in his tracks. "Why have you been so sullen all night? Are you still bothered by what was said this morning?"

She gave an awkward laugh. "I... I really don't know anything. I asked your grandfather, but he wouldn't tell me either."

Looking into the dark scenery in the distance, she said nonchalantly, "But, if, if you really regret it, you can just tell me. I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know what's good for you..."

Ying Yuchuan was not happy to hear these words from her.

He deliberately left the party early to go home, not to listen to her words.

"Lu Luozhi!"

He stopped, his face grim, and said in a slightly somber tone, "Who told you I regretted it?"

Her gaze darted left and right, avoiding his direct eye contact. "But, but..."

"But what?"

He couldn't tolerate her stammering and lack of decisiveness.

He reached out and grabbed one of her arms, pulling her into his embrace.

"Speak, but what is it?"

The man was strong and serious, and his deep, handsome face appeared even more sharp in the dim light of the path.

Everyone has their imperfections. Even if Lu Luozhi is usually carefree and easygoing, she still has her sensitive side.

At this time, she was deeply troubled by feelings of unworthiness.

If it weren't for that marriage contract that came about somehow, she would never have had any interaction with a man like Ying Yuchuan in her life.

Her silence left Ying Yuchuan feeling utterly helpless.

She.

He took out the little trinket he had bought earlier from his suit pocket.

I was planning to give it to her as soon as we met, but I've delayed it until now.

"This is for you."

The man spread out his fair, slender fingers with distinct knuckles, and in his palm lay a rose crown diamond hair clip.

Looking at her, Lu Luozhi's eyes widened in surprise, somewhat unable to believe it.

Ying Yuchuan actually bought a hair clip to give to her?

"dislike?"

He frowned.

This was the first time he had ever given something to a girl, especially something so feminine; he had never even bought anything for his sister.

He thought the hair clip suited her perfectly when he saw it in the car, so he got out and bought it.

But he forgot something important: just because he likes it doesn't mean she likes it too.

"If you don't like it, then forget it."

He withdrew his palm, pursed his lips, and tried to act as if nothing had happened, his expression slightly somber. Unexpectedly, she reached out and snatched the hair clip from his hand.

Where did I say I didn't like it?
