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

As soon as Lu Luozhi smiled, all the unpleasantness that had been shrouding her seemed to vanish, and she radiated vitality once again.

She stared at the rose crown-shaped hair clip in her hand, her heart filled with disbelief.

Wow, the hair clip he gave her!

He, Ying Yuchuan, so serious, rigid, and boring, actually bought such a beautiful and exquisite hair clip for her!

Looking left and right, a sudden feeling of happiness filled her heart.

The feeling was very different from when her mother gave her the gift. It was as if she was being stuffed with a whole jar of honey, almost overflowing, and even the air seemed to have a sweet smell.

"Thanks."

The more she looked at him, the more she liked him. She couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and kiss him on the cheek.

Ying Yuchuan was slightly taken aback, then looked at her with a deep gaze.

Lu Luozhi was engrossed in her hair and didn't notice his meaningful gaze. She excitedly pinned the hair clip to her thick hair behind her left ear.

The scattered diamonds on the crown, like stars in the night sky, twinkled in her hair.

"Is it pretty? Is it pretty?"

She asked questions one after another, like a child who had just gotten a perfect score and was eager to gain the adults' approval.

Under her expectant gaze, Ying Yuchuan smiled and generously offered his praise.

"nice."

Now, her smile became even sweeter and more captivating, her eyes crinkling, and the shallow dimples on her cheeks were like ripples on the lake of his heart.

Under the cover of night, she was as captivating as an elf.

He secretly made a mental note to himself that he would buy her some other jewelry next time.

"Let's go back to our room."

He said something in a low voice and took the first step.

The temperature was quite low at night, and the dew was heavy; he was afraid she might catch a cold again.

Her body was already weak; if she got a fever, she would really be nothing but skin and bones.

A hair clip broke down the subtle barrier between the two.

Lu Luozhi gazed at the muscular back of the man who had already walked a few steps ahead of her.

His tall and slender figure, mature and steady demeanor, gives people a strong sense of security that makes them want to lean on him.

"What's wrong?"

Noticing that she hadn't followed, Ying Yuchuan stopped and turned around to find her staring blankly at him, so he asked.

"It's nothing."

Lu Luozhi smiled, walked over quickly, and took his right arm in hers.

"Thank you, thank you..."

She nestled her head against his arm, rubbing against him affectionately, "I told you, you look so handsome today."

"Don't get my clothes dirty."

Although he said that, he didn't actually have any intention of stopping her.

If it were the old Ying Yuchuan, he would have minded people touching his clothes like that, but with her touching and rubbing against him like that, he didn't seem to think it was a big deal.

He even moved a little closer to her.

"If it's dirty, I'll wash it for you. What's the big deal?"

She smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm very good at washing clothes. I'll make sure they're spotless for you."

As soon as she said this, Ying Yuchuan seemed to see Lu Luozhi, who had a very hard life before.

He didn't like hearing her say those things.

She doesn't need to wash any clothes for her.

"We have servants at home; you, the young mistress, don't need to do the laundry. The Ying family pays them such high salaries, not to just sit around and do nothing."

Ugh.

Look at this man, isn't he boring?

Lu Luozhi suddenly had a whimsical idea to tease him.

"Ying Yuchuan, how about we make a bet? If you lose, you have to tell me how our engagement came about. If you win, I'll grant you one request."

To everyone's surprise, the CEO didn't even look up and calmly rejected her.

"In no mood."

He's not going to tell her on his own initiative.

OK OK.

Lu Luozhi gritted her teeth, steeled her resolve, and said, "Then I'll kneel down and beg you..."

"Why don't you see if I talk in my sleep at night?"

"..."

So angry.

Can't you just give her a way to survive?

Ying Yuchuan then glanced at her and noticed her angry expression.

He poked her cheek with his finger. "You've turned into a pufferfish."

He really does have a way of saying things that are just so "cute".

Lu Luozhi gritted her teeth in anger, jumped up, and clung to his back.

"Carry me back; my legs are weak, I don't have the strength to walk."

Startled by her sudden jump, Ying Yuchuan, fearing she would fall, quickly bent his back slightly to steady her.

He frowned slightly.

Why are all girls so fickle?

However, he still indulged her by carrying her on his back and taking steady steps.

"You really won't tell me?"

She asked him that question again.

As Ying Yuchuan gazed at the approaching courtyard gate, facing her repeated questioning, he sighed and then softly uttered a sentence that she would never forget.

"Some things only have meaning when you actively think about them."
