Because she was addicted

Come back home?

Wen Jia stood there, stunned.

The three-story detached villa in front of us is hidden among the dense forest in white. The gate is open, and the beige luxury stone exterior wall stretches along the mountainside. A large green lawn extends inward, and the green plants and flowers in the yard are arranged in a well-organized manner.

Lu Chenyan and Lu Chuan stood beside her, smiling and waiting for her reply.

Wen Jia's heart was pounding wildly.

It wasn't happiness, it wasn't surprise.

It was fright.

"Ayan, what does this mean?" She stood still, motionless.

Lu Chenyan put one arm around her shoulder and pointed to the house in front of them.

"Didn't we agree to get married that day? I asked you to look at houses, but you were always busy. I've looked at a few places these past few days, and this one is the best, so I asked Brother Chuan to buy it. It's fully furnished, has a swimming pool and a huge garden, perfect for our wedding home."

Lu Chenyan pulled Wen Jia inside.

Walking along the smooth path, the only sounds were the wind and the rustling of leaves. Gazing at the spacious and luxurious courtyard and magnificent buildings, my sense of bewilderment deepened.

Lu Chenyan continued, "...If you don't like the renovation, we'll find someone to come and change it again. And that land on the hillside over there, I'll have someone clear it out so you can grow flowers and vegetables..."

After that, Wen Jia could no longer hear what Lu Chenyan was saying.

Looking at everything in the house, she finally truly felt the distance between herself and Lu Chenyan.

She also realized for the first time that Lu Chenyan and she were from two different worlds.

"Do you like it?" Lu Chenyan turned to look at her excitedly.

He happily showed her the layout of the house and imagined their bright future together, but when he turned his head, he didn't see the ecstatic joy he had imagined on Wen Jia's face. Instead, she was calm and even a little unhappy.

"Ayan, this is so sudden. I... I'm not ready."

She took Lu Chenyan's hand.

"What's wrong?" He turned around and hugged Wen Jia.

"Ayan, buying a house is such a big deal, why didn't you discuss it with me?"

"We discussed it. I asked you if you wanted a large apartment or a villa, and you said either was fine. I said let's buy a villa then, we can grow chili peppers there. You agreed."

Lu Chenyan looked aggrieved.

Wen Jia was speechless.

When Lu Chenyan told her about this, she was busy writing a report, and those were just perfunctory responses.

Regarding the marriage, she never expected Lu Chenyan to be so proactive.

In less than a week, they even bought a house.

She hadn't even formally agreed yet.

Wen Jia let out a breath and turned to walk out.

"Let's go back first."

"Jiajia?"

As Lu Chenyan watched her walk out with her head down, his smile gradually froze on his face.

Lu Chuan sensed something was wrong and stepped forward, saying:

"Ayan? Miss Wen is not happy."

Lu Chenyan silently rubbed his forehead.

"I was too hasty. It's okay, I'll talk to her properly later."

"What about the notaries? They're all still waiting in the small banquet hall next door to complete the property transfer procedures; all that's missing is Ms. Wen's documents and signature."

"Let them go back first. It's not too late to transfer the property after I've talked to her. This villa is a wedding gift I gave her, and I hope she'll accept it happily."

"Okay. By the way, Ayan, Madam will be coming to Haicheng in a couple of days."

"What's she doing here?"

"They said it was to attend the wedding of the Fu and Tang families."

"Okay. Isn't Big Brother coming? Big Brother and Brother Shen are classmates."

Lu Chuan was taken aback. "Young Master?"

"Yeah, I called him a few days ago but he didn't answer. I don't know where he flew off to on business again. Brother Chuan, if you know where he is, remember to tell him so he can call me back."

Lu Chenyan patted Lu Chuan on the shoulder.

Lu Chuan's expression was strange. "Ayan, how have you been lately? Have you been taking your medicine on time?"

Lu Chenyan chuckled.

"Brother Chuan, why did I take medicine when I was perfectly fine? Stop messing around! Let me know when my mom arrives, I'll go pick her up. I'm leaving now."

Lu Chuan looked constipated, wanting to speak but not daring to, so he clenched his fists and swallowed his words.

After making the arrangements, Lu Chenyan quickly followed.

Wen Jia waited for him by the car.

"Let's go home first," Lu Chenyan said, opening the door for her.

Wen Jia stood by the car, looking at Lu Chenyan.

"Ayan, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to give you a hard time. I just feel it's all too sudden. We've only been together for two months, and suddenly we're talking about marriage... I really haven't thought it through..."

Lu Chenyan hugged her and pressed her head against his chest.

"This is my fault. I told you before I would give you time to think it over. I just want to be with you so badly. I want you to be my wife rightfully. I want to be with you for the rest of my life."

"Ayan, marriage isn't just a matter between two people; it's a big deal for two families. I'm so ordinary; your parents won't agree."

Wen Jia said in a low voice.

"Who I marry and when I get married are my own business. My parents and even my older brother have the right to interfere. If that's what you're worried about, then there's no need to worry. My mom is coming to Haicheng in a few days, and I'll talk to her about it then."

Lu Chenyan's voice was deep and magnetic, which eased Wen Jia's anxious heart a little.

"Don't worry, my mom is very open-minded. You're so wonderful, she'll like you as soon as she sees you, just like I do. Don't be afraid."

"But I haven't told my family about you yet. I haven't told you about my family either, Ayan. Once you know about my family, you won't want to marry me anymore."

Aside from Lu Chenyan's family, her mind was still filled with Pan Mei and Wen Zhao.

How was she supposed to tell Lu Chenyan that Pan Mei had run away from her hometown with her son and was having an affair with her lover? And that her younger brother was currently working as a waiter at a nightclub, a good-for-nothing?

"No matter what your family situation is, and no matter who they are, Jiajia, the person I love is you, and I want to live with you for the rest of my life. Your family is my family; you love them, and I will love them in the same way."

Wen Jia kept her head down and didn't say anything.

Dating is a matter between two people; you can close the door and ignore what's happening outside.

But when it comes to getting married, there are some things you have to face.

Lu Chenyan's family, her family.

These are all obstacles standing between them.

Wen Jia didn't know if, when faced with these real-world problems, Lu Chenyan would still be as determined as he was to marry her.

"Let me think about it," she said slowly.

"it is good."

Lu Chenyan pinched her nose.

"Okay, let's not think about this anymore, let's go eat."

……

Lu Chenyan seemed determined to get married.

Wen Jia struggled with the decision all night, but the next day she still called Wen Lin from her office behind closed doors.

"Jiajia, I just have one question for you. Think it through before you answer me," Wen Lin asked solemnly on the other end of the phone.

Wen Jia: "What did you say?"

Wen Lin: "Do you love him?"

Wen Jia remained silent for a moment.

Love?

It must be love.

She loved being with Lu Chenyan; the two were especially compatible and in sync in bed. A day apart felt like an eternity of longing for him.

Lu Chenyan was also different from other young men born into wealthy families.

He didn't have the vices of a rich kid.

He is even very approachable.

He also respected her a lot, and supported her in both life and work.

He is conscientious, responsible and professional when working.

In his spare time, he loves life and is capable of almost anything.

He doesn't even have any flaws.

But what makes Wen Jia, a man who is perfect in every way, worthy of having him all to herself?

She worried that it was all just a soap bubble.

Beautiful and dazzling, yet fragile and easily broken.

It will fall apart if it encounters anything.
