358: Chapter 263: How Lucky to Meet Lu Yinchu_1 358: Chapter 263: How Lucky to Meet Lu Yinchu_1 After choosing their books, two hours had passed already.
As a sister-in-law, buying a few books for her sister-in-law was only normal!
Just as they were about to pay, the âhandsome young manâ Liao Qianchen immediately threw out a VIP gold card and declared, âIâve always paid for Qingtianâs books.
Anyone who tries to take that from me will see hell!â
Nanxi: ââ¦â
Yang Su: ââ¦â
Lu Qingtian: âSister-in-law, Sister Susu, donât mind him.
He has $50k coming into his card every month and thereâs simply no way he can spend it all.
Iâm just helping outâ¦â
Nanxi: ââ¦â
Yang Su: ââ¦â
They both wished they had such aâ¦
student as loyal as a dog!
â¦
After buying the books, they walked out and found that it had started to rain at some point.
Yang Su said, âDamn, I should have brought an umbrella earlier!â
Young Master Liao was holding a stack of books, ready to take out his phone and make a call (Itâs not that Nanxi and Yang Su didnât want to help carry the books, he just refused!
Such a loyal dog indeed!
-_-III).
Meanwhile, Lu Qingtian was a step ahead, âYou all wait.
Iâll call my brother to come pick us up!â
Nanxi wanted to stop him, but Lu Qingtian acted quickly.
The call had already dialed out and connected quickly, so fast that even Lu Qingtian wasnât ready for it:
âHey brother, Iâm out buying books with Sister-in-law and Sister Susu, but itâs raining now and we didnât bring an umbrella.
Could you come pick us up?â
ââ¦â
âLocation?
Ah?
Itâs XX Bookstore, yes, the one on that roadâ¦
Wha?
No, I just ran into Sister-in-law.
I came to buy books with Liao Qianchen, you can ask Sister-in-law if you donât believe meâ¦â
ââ¦â
âBrother, why donât you believe me?
After you scolded me, Iâve been very obedient and wouldnât dare to bother Sister-in-law without reason.
You can trust meâ¦â
ââ¦â
âAlright, I got it!
Yes, donât worry, Iâll definitely keep a close eye on Sister-in-law and wonât let her run away!â
Nanxi: ââ¦â Do they treat her as if sheâs not even there?
Lu Qingtian ended the call and quickly grabbed the stunned Nanxi who was standing next to him, âSister-in-law, later, donât tell my brother that I called you to accompany me, he will kill me!â
Nanxi: ââ¦â Heâll also kill me!
â¦
Lu Yinchuâs car arrived twenty minutes later.
By this time, the rain had come down even harder.
Nanxi felt quite embarrassed to have him come pick them up!
Nanxi really wanted to call Lu Yinchu and tell him not to come!
Taking a taxi home would have been easy.
There really was no need for him to come pick them up!
But Lu Qingtian was adamant, stating that his brother had strictly ordered them to wait for him!
Seeing his car approaching, Nanxiâs heart inexplicably trembled for a moment, she didnât know why!
The man was sharply dressed, his face was so elegant people couldnât take their eyes off him.
He was holding an umbrella, its blurry shadow in the rain making him appear somewhat unreal!
But she could already feel his presence, overwhelmingly closing in and making it hard for her to breathe!
Unable to contain his excitement, Lu Qingtian waved at the man, âBrother, over here, over hereâ¦â
The man raised an eyebrow and walked over.
From the car behind him, Mo Yan also got out, holding two umbrellas!
It was already past five in the afternoon, so Lu Yinchu first took everyone to a restaurant and had a meal.
Although he didnât talk much, the atmosphere was still harmonious thanks to Yang Su and Lu Qingtian being around!
Around half-past seven, everyone left the restaurant with full bellies.
The Lu Familyâs butler, Uncle Zhang, was already waiting with the car outside.
Seeing this, Lu Qingtian immediately began to sulk and grabbed his brotherâs sleeve, âBrother, I donât want to go home yet, I want to spend more time with Sis-in-law!â
Lu Yinchu squinted his eyes, âYouâve bought so many review materials, do you still have time to hang around?â
Lu Qingtian pouted, his cheeks puffed up with a look of dissatisfaction, feeling that his brother was being too mean!
Lu Qingtian and Liao Qianchen got into Uncle Zhangâs car, and after Lu Yinchu gave a few orders, Uncle Zhang agreed.
Uncle Zhang was always a careful driver, so Lu Yinchu was able to rest easy!
Mo Yan invited Yang Su into the car.
Yang Su smiled and said, âActually, I can take a taxi home, thereâs really no need to drive me!â
âDonât stand on ceremony.
Any friend of Nanxi is a friend of mine!â
Yang Suâs heart skipped a beat at that comment.
She genuinely thought Lu Yinchu was a nice man: his manners were refined, his character was unmatched, his taste was sophisticated, he was mature, and his composed maturity made oneâs heart sinkâ¦
Compared to her, Li Weihuan really fell short.
Itâs no wonder Nanxi fell for him!
Nanxiâs happy days have truly arrived!
Being tactful enough not to continue being the third wheel, she waved good bye to Nanxi and got into Mo Yanâs Bentley!
Nanxi really wanted to go back with Yang Su, but she knew Lu Yinchu wouldnât agree.
It would be more prudent to keep quiet and avoid a futile argument!
âLetâs head back too!â
Just as Mo Yanâs car drove away, a strong arm wrapped around her shoulder, pulling her back into a manâs embrace.
The faint scent of tobacco wafted into her nostrils, seductive and intoxicating!
âLu Yinchu, Iâll just stay for a little while, then I will go back!â Nanxi decided to make her stance clear.
She wanted to tell him that her staying didnât imply anything more, he shouldnât get any wrong ideas!
âA little while?â The man didnât quite catch her meaning.
âYes, just a bit.
Later, I have to go back to Yang Suâs placeâ¦â
âNanxiâ¦â
Lu Yinchu interrupts, his voice dropping several degrees, âNanxi, we are husband and wife now, you didnât forget that, right?â
Nanxi shivers, meeting his gaze, âStillâ¦
thatâs not right, we are in a concealed marriage!â
âA concealed marriage is still a marriage.
As a married man, how can I allow my wife to spend the night outside?â
ââ¦â
âNanxi, you must live with me now, eat with me, sleep with meâ¦â
ââ¦â
âNanxi, donât overthink.
Letâs go!
Behave!â
Lu Yinchu reached out to take her arm, but she didnât budge, âNo, I will not go!â
âLu Yinchu, even though Iâve married you, weâve not been together for very long.
You understand me, but I donât understand you.
Love takes time.
It needs a period of adjustment.
You canât force me like thisâ¦â
She bit her lip, feeling a small sense of injustice.
Her long eyelashes were trembling, making her look vulnerable under the light!
Looking at her in this state, Lu Yinchu felt heartache, affection, and also, at a loss!
Could he really be getting old?
Faced with Nanxi who was ten years his junior, he was, somewhat, at his witâs end!
Just then, a young couple walked out of the restaurant.
The girl looked to be in her early twenties, about the same age as Nanxi.
She walked ahead, the boy followed behind.
They seemed to have quarreled.
The girl wanted to step into the rain when the boy stopped her, telling her not to be reckless as it was raining!
The girl was obstinate, protesting loudly, âI want to stand in the rain!
I love the rain!
You let go of me, I donât want to talk to you, let goâ¦â
Of course, the boy didnât let go, instead he cupped her face and started kissing her.
The girl struggled in his arms, but the boyâs strength was superior, he held her tightâ¦
After some time, the girlâs resistance waned, and the two stood nonchalantly at the restaurant entranceâ¦
Nanxi watched in shock, thinking the whole scenario was overdone.
Meanwhile, a blush crept up her cheeks, she quickly looked away!
Lu Yinchu played with her hand as he leaned closer, âNanxi, do you also want me to kiss you before a crowd, before you will behave?â
âNo!â Nanxi shrank back in fear, pushing him away, âIâm not a child.
Donât think of me so immaturely!â
âHmm, not immature!â The man raised an eyebrow, reaching out to wrap an arm around her slender waist!
Nanxi feared he would really kiss her, and buried her face in his chest, muffling her words, âLu Yinchu, donât try anything.
If you do, Iâll scream âindecent assault!â, I wonât compromise as easily as that girl, no, I absolutely wonât give in!â
âHmm, so making out with my own wife in public is a crime now?!â
âIt is!
Lu Yinchu, let me tell youâ¦
I will never forgive you if you dare to kiss me, never!â
Holding him tighter, she buries her face deeper into his chest.
Her voice grows even more muffled!
The man chuckled lightly, feeling the soft body in his arms, he sighed, enveloping her in his embrace, âSilly girl, hugging me so tightly, you must really love me!â
Nanxi shivered all over but tried to wriggle free, he, however, didnât let go, holding her firmly.
His deep voice rang in her ears, âBut no matter how much you love me, I assure you, I love you ten, a hundred times more.
So, are you reassured now?
Hmm?â
When he ended with a âhumâ, it lilted, humming tunes that resonated deep within, brushing against the softest corners of her heart.
Nanxi bit her lip, remaining still.
The manâs scent filled her senses, inexplicably calming her heart!
âNanxi, come live with me.
I promise to give you time, to accept me wholeheartedly.
You said our dating period was too short, right?
Letâs have a post-marital romance, okay?â
Nanxiâs eyelashes trembled, she bit her lip and said nothing, as if giving her consent!
âWhat a stubborn little girlâ¦â
The man sighed, reaching out to hold her closer!
A sweet feeling welled up in Nanxiâs heart, thinking how wonderful it was to have Lu Yinchu by her side, how fortunate she was to have met him!
She loved him, deeply.
She felt that the degree of her love for him was much more than what he imagined, much more!
