Drive eastward from the road that runs through the center of Nancheng University, pass the famous Bell and Drum Tower in the center of Nancheng City, and you will enter a lakeside road planted with plane trees.

At the beginning of the last century, more than half of the wealthy businessmen and politicians in South City gathered here.

Today, except for a small area that is still designated as a residential area, most of the houses have been renovated and become cultural relics protection sites for citizens to visit.

In the autumn when the leaves of the sycamore trees fell, Lu Ranran once rode his bike alone and strolled here.

I have also imagined in my mind how life here would be, how elegant and colorful it would be.

Unexpectedly, I have become the person in my dream now.

This is all thanks to Shen Xiling who was sitting on the other side.

Since getting in the car, Shen Xiling has stopped talking.

He tilted his head to look out the window, tapping his thigh lightly with his slender fingers, as if he was thinking about something seriously.

After the car turned a small half circle along the East Lake, the outline of an exquisite lakeside villa slowly emerged in the light.

As the door gradually opened, Lu Ranran slowly saw the building in front of her in the warm light.

It was a quaint two-story building surrounded by a fairly spacious garden.

The garden was filled with well-tended flowers. Lu Ranran couldn't recognize their names, but she felt that they were swaying in the light, giving off a dreamy vibe.

After getting out of the car, Lu Ranran followed Shen Xiling and entered the quaint villa.

Xiao Li has arrived, but there are no packed boxes in the living room.

I think it has been arranged in advance.

Xiao Li spoke at the right time:

"Madam's luggage has been placed in her room as you arranged."

Madam's, room?

When Lu Ranran heard the word "Madam" again, she still felt embarrassed and her ears felt slightly hot.

Shen Xiling nodded, and Xiao Li tactfully said goodbye.

At this time, a middle-aged woman came up and looked at the two of them with a smile.

"Master, Madam, are you hungry? Do you want to eat first?"

Shen Xiling turned his head and asked, "Are you hungry?"

"This is Aunt Li. She usually comes to cook three meals for us and is also responsible for the housework at home."

Mother Li walked forward swiftly, took Shen Xiling's coat, then came to Lu Ranran and took Lu Ranran's backpack.

"Madam, you can come to me if you want to eat anything or have any daily needs in the future."

As he spoke, he looked at Lu Ranran carefully for a while, and the look in his eyes seemed a little too eager.

Lu Ranran felt a little embarrassed when being stared at.

It was not until Shen Xiling spoke that Aunt Li woke up as if from a dream and smiled and withdrew her gaze.

"Look at me, I am fascinated by the lady's lovely appearance."

Then he walked to Shen Xiling and said jokingly:

"You kid, you've been silent all these years, and now you find such a beautiful wife."

Lu Ranran's ears turned even redder.

Now, she is really going to become Shen Xiling's wife.

After Aunt Li left, Shen Xiling explained softly.

"Mother Li has watched me grow up since I was a child."

Lu Ranran lowered her head, said "hmm", changed into slippers, and followed Shen Xiling to the restaurant.

Due to the original structure of the house, the space on the entire first floor is not very large.

But several huge windows were added on all four sides, making the originally cramped space instantly transparent.

The dining table faces a large window. During the day, you can turn around and see the garden full of flowers.

To Lu Ranran's surprise, the table was full of her favorite dishes!

After a hearty meal and a few drinks, Lu Ranran felt a little drowsy.

But soon, another urgent question made her wake up instantly.

Since she and Shen Xiling have decided to get married, doesn't this mean that they should sleep in the same bed like ordinary couples?

Lu Ranran's ears, which had calmed down, started burning again.

The heat this time is obviously greater than when we first entered.

This is sleeping in the same bed!

Lu Ranran was a little embarrassed.

If I proposed to Shen Xiling that we sleep in separate rooms at this time, would it seem that my cooperation is not sincere?

"slowly."

"what?!"

Lu Ranran, who was suddenly "woken up", looked at Shen Xiling who was looking puzzled, and her face became even hotter.

She moved her chopsticks, not daring to look him in the eye, and only said nonsense like "the food is so delicious".

Shen Xiling obviously noticed something, but did not ask any further questions. Instead, he said:

"Your room is on the second floor, on the right."

"my room?"

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Lu Ranran realized something was wrong.

It was as if he was looking forward to sleeping in the same bed with Shen Xiling.

Shen Xiling raised his eyebrows, a faint smile appeared on the corners of his mouth, and he leaned back in his chair, staring at Lu Ranran leisurely.

Only when Lu Ranran's entire body turned as red as a shrimp did he open his thin lips slightly.

"Would you like to share a room with me?"

"lady?"

He spoke clearly, each word clearly, with a slightly rising tone, as if there was some teasing in it.

Lu Ranran quickly denied it and ran up to her own room on the second floor in a panic.

She leaned against the door and slowly sat down on the floor, her heartbeat gradually calming down.

He clearly knew that this marriage was just a partnership, so why did he deliberately call her "Madam"? !

Really! It seems that she needs to think of a way to get everyone to stop calling her that.

Lu Ranran's room is not big, but it has everything, including a small shower room. There is a beautiful balcony next to the bed. When you open the window, the white curtains are blown by the wind, beautiful and light.

My originally restless heart was immediately calmed by this calmness.

At this time, Shen Xiling sent two more messages.

“It’s an old house, and the sound insulation is not very good.”

"The insects are noisy at night, remember to wear earplugs."

Lu Ranran was in a good mood at the moment. After replying "OK", she packed her luggage in a hurry.

After taking a comfortable bath, I put on my earplugs and fell into a peaceful dream.

The sound of insects chirping at night is indeed very loud, and perhaps there is something else mixed in.

But all this has nothing to do with Lu Ranran who was sleeping.

But on this night when Lu Ranran was sleeping peacefully, the Lu family was not peaceful.

Lu Keke, who had intended to steal the show at the wedding, pushed the vase to the ground.

The porcelain pieces shattered all over the floor, and Lu Keke's eyes were red.

"Why! Who is she, Lu Ranran?"

"How could she marry Shen Xiling!"

Chu Yue at the side consoled him gently, "Coco, Coco, calm down."

Lu Keke was so anxious that she started crying, "Mom, look, she's stepping on my head!"

Chu Yue turned to look at Lawrence Lu, “How is it, what does the Zhang family say?”

Lawrence Lu snorted coldly, as if Chu Yue was telling some joke.

"The Shen family has spoken, how dare the Zhang family say anything?"

Lu Keke became even more impatient after hearing this and screamed at Chu Yue to find a solution.

Chu Yue finally calmed Lu Keke down and asked Lawrence Lu in a low voice:

"The one from the Shen family, doesn't he have any objections?"

Lu Zhongyuan looked worried, "Don't provoke him if there's nothing to do."

After saying that, he walked back to the room, not caring how bad Lu Keke's behavior was.

Chu Yue sighed secretly, tried hard to suppress her resentment, and began to secretly plan.
