After getting married, I could hear the thoughts and feelings of my wife's best friends.

Seeing that Lu Chen's hand had already touched the valley, Song Xingran asked a question.

Her reaction was also significant; it had already started raining in the valley.

Lu Chen asked in a low voice, "Xing Ran, can I practice for a bit?"

"I give up..." Song Xingran said helplessly, "Didn't you come to talk to me about media? How did it turn into you training me?"

Lu Chen replied, "There's no conflict between them. Let's talk about it after we finish practicing."

Song Xingran pressed his hand down: "We've been broken up for so long, and the first thing you do when we meet is to provoke me..."

Lu Chen replied, "Just consider it nostalgia..."

Amidst the pushing and shoving, Song Xingran finally agreed, because she really wanted to practice with Lu Chen, and even after all these years, she still couldn't forget this man.

Once the thought arises, it's like a flood, completely out of control.

Rustling.

Their clothes slipped off completely.

Song Xingran turned around impatiently…

Just as Lu Chen was about to mount his horse, he noticed a tattoo on Song Xingran's back near her buttocks, with the character "Chen" written on it.

Why did you tattoo my butt?

Lu Chen was speechless. He rubbed it with his hands to make sure it wasn't pasted on.

“What butt…” Song Xingran replied, “This is the entrance. Your name is the doorplate. Have you ever seen an ancient mansion? There would be a plaque above the door to tell you whose house it is.”

Lu Chen then asked, "Then why don't you get the character 'Lu' tattooed on your face?"

Song Xingran replied, "There are plenty of people with the surname Lu, but only you are named Chen..."

Hearing this, Lu Chen felt a surge of emotion. What a wonderful girl. After breaking up, she tattooed his name in her most private place.

This guy is planning to stay single forever, since nobody wants to see another man's name on their wife's name.

Lu Chen touched her lower abdomen: "Is it in the front?"

Song Xingran lowered her voice: "The day before was the first day we started dating."

Lu Chen didn't speak, but proved it with his actions.

A sudden storm.

Song Xingran had absolutely no control over herself…

She had been thirsting for so long, and finally received her blessing.

When Lu Chen paused, he remarked with a sigh, "It's so tight, Xing Ran..."

"nonsense…"

Song Xingran's voice became sweet and coquettish: "I've only ever had you in my life, and I haven't had a man since, so how can I not... be nervous?"

"Hehe, I'll help you clear it up properly."

"Go to hell..."

An hour later.

Song Xingran and Lu Chen hugged each other and lay on the bed in the lounge.

Once the initial enthusiasm subsided, rationality took over.

Lu Chen started to talk to her about cooperation.

"I have a project here. Will you provide manpower or capital?"

Song Xingran touched his abs and replied sweetly, "I'll give you anything, everything~"

"Hey!" Lu Chen was speechless: "Don't suddenly become love-struck!"

Chapter 158 No Need to Ask

Song Xingran asked in confusion, "Is something wrong?"

Lu Chen explained to her, "Although our cooperation isn't a very formal discussion, we still need to come up with a general idea, such as funding and such."

Song Xingran pinched him: "Is there any need to discuss this? What's mine is yours, and besides, we work together. You wouldn't harm me, would you?"

Lu Chen clicked his tongue: "How come I didn't know you were such a love-struck fool?"

He spoke rather simplistically, but what he was really thinking was, "How come my IQ has dropped after being beaten up?"

"No, I don't think so," Song Xingran replied. "I'm still the same as before, except for my romantic history, of course. But then again, it's your fault, you've raised my standards."

Row!

Lu Chen had nothing to say, but after circling back, he blamed himself again.

This woman showed absolutely no interest in discussing business cooperation.

Let him get straight to the point.

"Xingran, how much money can you offer?"

Song Xingran didn't answer directly, but asked, "How much money did Gu Nanyin give you?"

Lu Chen held up one finger: "Ten million."

Song Xingran was taken aback: "So rich? What if I don't have that much money?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen didn't press further, simply saying, "Participation is the most important thing; everything else is secondary."

He said that entirely because of Song Xingran's connections and resources.

“That won’t do.” Song Xingran shook her head. “I have to contribute something, let’s say five million. Where is the location?”

Lu Chen replied, "It's at Gu Nanyin's company, Xinglan."

Song Xingran sat up abruptly: "I'm going to Gu Nanyin's company too?"

“No need for that,” Lu Chen said. “Aren’t we in a cooperative relationship? You can work remotely.”

Song Xingran was even more helpless: "Then how can I be with you?"

Lu Chen then said, "Then you stay here... You two know each other, so you can exchange ideas."

Song Xingran's expression turned somewhat strange; she wasn't sure if Lu Chen knew about her relationship with Gu Nanyin...

"I don't think it's necessary," Song Xingran said somewhat awkwardly...

She genuinely didn't know how to face Gu Nanyin, and besides, she no longer had that hobby and had already returned to a normal life.

Furthermore, after being harassed by Lu Chen for an hour, my body and soul are exhausted, and I have no desire to play those games of deception.

Lu Chen disliked forcing others, so when he saw Song Xingran insisting, he stopped saying anything... However, he was still looking forward to Song Xingran and Gu Nanyin teaming up so he could play together.

The two spent some time in the lounge, took a shower, and then left the stadium.

At this time.

Lu Chencai then asked, "How did the university let you in?"

Song Xingran casually replied, "Of course there are people at home. I just greeted my relative and came in."

Lu Chen glanced at the stadium behind him: "So, you booked the whole place?"

Song Xingran smiled and said, "It was just something I did... Let's not talk about that for now. You're free today, right? Can you keep me company?"

“That’s possible,” Lu Chen nodded. “But if something urgent comes up, I have to go first.”

“No problem!” Song Xingran was very happy and immediately said, “I came to City A as soon as I received your message, and I haven’t had a chance to explore properly yet.”

Lu Chen laughed: "Then you've really asked the wrong person. I usually stay at home and never go out."

"That's bullshit!"

Song Xingran didn't believe it at all: "When you took off your clothes just now, your muscles were obviously the result of daily exercise, and you still told me you were staying at home."

Lu Chen nodded: "I practice at home."

Song Xingran was unconvinced and pressed on, asking, "You have so many machines at home? Unless you own a super, super big villa!"

As she spoke, she made a circle in the air.

Lu Chen replied, "It's not like I'm working out."

Song Xingran asked in confusion, "If it's not fitness, then what is it?"

But she quickly realized that Lu Chen and Gu Nanyin were a couple, and they were exercising at home.

"That's even more ridiculous!" Song Xingran retorted seriously, "If someone like you existed, they would need specialized training to do those things. How could anyone possibly train like that?"

Lu Chen then remarked, "Sigh! Maybe it's just my talent here."

This earned him a big eye roll from Song Xingran.

The two had originally planned to wander around City A, but after doing some physical exercise, they were exhausted after only a few steps.

"I'm so tired, I can't go on..." Song Xingran said breathlessly as she sat down to rest on a public bench.

Lu Chen sat down next to her and asked, "You didn't say you were tired when you exercised for an hour before."

Song Xingran replied, "Can you compare them? What I did wasn't exercise at all; it was pure enjoyment."

Lu Chen nodded: "Actually, I'm a little tired too. Why don't we go to the hotel and rest for a while?"

Song Xingran chuckled: "Is the rest you're talking about a proper rest?"

Lu Chen replied, "Whether it's proper or not, it's none of your business."

"I'm not coming."

Song Xingran refused: "I'm not your girlfriend, why should I keep chiseling at you? You were just being nostalgic before."

Oh?

Lu Chen understood.

There's no need to listen to her inner thoughts; just grasp the key points from Song Xingran's words. She wants to figure out exactly what their relationship is now.

Regarding this issue...

Lu Chen did not intend to answer directly, but instead chose a more subtle approach.

"Nostalgia needs to be updated; people can't stay nostalgic forever."

A glint flashed in Song Xingran's eyes. She stared at Lu Chen for a while but didn't say anything.

A few minutes later, Song Xingran let out a breath.

"Take me back."

After sending Song Xingran back, Lu Chen went straight home. He still needed to talk to Gu Nanyin about this matter, since she had contributed ten million.

I entered the house.

Lu Chen happened to see Gu Nanyin changing clothes; she had put on a dark brown fitted sportswear outfit.

Seeing Lu Chen come in, Gu Nanyin put on her white baseball cap.

"Honey, let's go get some late-night snacks."

Lu Chen hesitated for a moment before nodding: "Okay, I'll go change cars."

Judging from Gu Nanyin's casual attire, this late-night snack is definitely not from a high-end place; it's probably just a roadside stall at a night market.

So just get a regular car.

However, Gu Nanyin handed him a key.

"No need to drive, we'll ride electric bikes to the nearby night market."

"Row."

Lu Chen took the key.

A few minutes later.

Lu Chen rode his electric bike with Gu Nanyin on the back.
