Lu Shao is cunning; Miss Nan has fallen for his tricks again.

Chapter 210 Psychological liking is liking, and so is physiological liking.
Almost everyone in the living room was there except for the two elderly members of the Lin family.

Nan Xu changed her shoes and came in carrying her things.

Hearing footsteps, Lin Jingshu turned around and saw that it was Nan Xu. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You're back! How did the checkup go? Is everything alright, my little one?"

"No." Nan Xu gently shook her head.

Lin Jingshu walked over and saw that the tote bag Nan Xu was carrying clearly had "Beibeian Pet Shop" printed on it.

"You bought something for Guai Guai too?"

Nan Xu raised an eyebrow slightly. "Also? Who else could it be but her?"
"Oh, your aunt also bought something for Guai Guai."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Xiu picked up a large shopping bag from beside her feet, which was full of things.

"I'm sorry, Ah Xu, this is just a small token of my appreciation, consider it compensation for Guai Guai." Zhao Xiu looked at Nan Xu with a face full of apology.

"It's nothing, thank you, Auntie."

After Lu Zhiyan got home, he waited for a long time but didn't hear from Nan Xu. He waited a while longer and finally couldn't sit still any longer, so he dialed Nan Xu's number.

The Lin family was chatting happily in the living room when the sudden ringing of the bell shattered the harmonious atmosphere.

Nan Xu took out her phone from her pocket and saw that it was Lu Zhiyan. She looked up at everyone in the living room and said, "Uh, I'll go out and take this call."

The dog was placed on the sofa by her, and when it saw Nan Xu was about to leave, it kept spinning around and barking.

It was getting impatient and kept barking because there was no pet step for it in the living room.

As Nanxu walked further and further away, its cries grew louder and louder.

Nanxu looked at her phone, glanced back at Guaiguai, then turned back and picked her up.

The screams stopped abruptly.

Lin Jingshu smiled and took a sip of her flower tea. They really couldn't be separated for even a moment.

If there's nothing wrong, why is Guai Guai coming back so late? She must have gone on a date with Lu Zhiyan. She knows Nan Xu well; if she were alone, she wouldn't take her pet to the pet store. She'd be too busy to manage everything by herself.

Not only that, but the tips of her ears were still red when she came back.

The snow outside has changed from heavy snowfall to light, scattered snow.

As soon as the call connected, Lu Zhiyan's anxious voice came through the phone to Nan Xu's ears: "Are you home yet? Why didn't you send me a message?"

"Oh dear, I forgot, I forgot," Nan Xu said softly, feigning annoyance.

"You remember everything else but forget mine? Is it because I'm not important?" Lu Zhiyan's voice was tinged with jealousy.

"How could that be? Don't overthink it," Nan Xu coaxed gently.

"Okay, I'll hang up now. I'm outside. I'll call you back when I get back to my room."

"Outside? Didn't you get home?" Lu Zhiyan's fingertips, gripping the phone, turned slightly white.

Nan Xu explained what had just happened to Lu Zhiyan.

"Alright, I'll wait for you. Don't forget again!" Lu Zhiyan's voice was somewhat dissatisfied.

"Okay, okay, I got it, bye."

After hanging up the phone, Nan Xu calmed herself down before pushing open the door and going inside.

As soon as she entered the door, all eyes in the living room turned to Nan Xu.

"Uh, why are you all looking at me?" Nan Xu took small steps and slowly walked over.

"Who's making the call? It's not Director Zhang, is it?" Lin Zhengyu teased with a smile.

Nan Xu pursed her lips and glared at him. "A friend."

Lin Zhengyu was straightforward and immediately chimed in.

"It's not his boyfriend, is it?" Lin Jingshu spoke up to help Nan Xu out of the awkward situation. "Alright, stop teasing A-Xu. Don't forget you're meeting your blind date tomorrow."

"What?" Lin Zhengyu choked on his tea. Seeing this, Lin Jianshen took out a tissue and handed it to Lin Zhengyu.

Lin Zhengyu wiped the tea from his lips and looked at Lin Jingshu incredulously, asking again, "What blind date?"

"Hmm? Didn't Jian Shen tell you? Yuan Shuxin, your brother's previous blind date."

"You still want me to meet my brother's blind date? Auntie, this isn't appropriate."

Lin Jingshu waved her hand, "It wasn't me who said it, it was your mother."

Lin Zhengyu looked at Chen Hui, who slowly picked up a piece of dragon fruit with her fork. "Well, your grandma thinks that Yuan Shuxin is pretty good. Since Jian Shen has no taste, then let you go and see for yourself."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhengyu felt utterly hopeless. "I'm not going! Who goes on a blind date on the 29th of the lunar year? You're making me go on a blind date because you don't want me to have a good time!"

Nan Xu watched as the hour hand of the clock turned to ten. She whispered in Lin Jingshu's ear, "Mom, I'm sleepy. I'm going upstairs to rest."

Lin Jingshu nodded. "Okay."

Lin Zhengyu was still struggling in the living room, loudly proclaiming that he wouldn't go on the blind date, while the others watched with amusement, none of them saying a word to help him out.

Finally, Lin Zhengyu had no choice but to step forward and sit down next to Lin Jingshu. "Auntie, please say something for me."

Nan Xu walked up to the second floor, glanced back at Lin Zhengyu, and shook her head with a light laugh.

Still such a drama queen.

Back in her room, Nanxu took off her coat, put it on the bed, and made a video call to Lu Zhiyan.

The call was connected very quickly.

Lu Zhiyan had a bath towel tied around his waist and was drying his hair with a towel. His hair was half dry when he put the towel on the sink and walked out.

"Why did it take so long? What were you all talking about in the living room?"

Nan Xu had gone from being shy to taking Lu Zhiyan's body for granted.

The scenes that once made her blush and her heart race have been exposed by Lu Zhiyan as everyday occurrences.

"Nothing much, just some trivial matters and... pressure to get married."

"Pressuring for marriage?" Lu Zhiyan chuckled. "Is it your eldest brother or your second brother?"

Nanxu put her phone on the table, looked down and took off her earrings. "I have them all."

"Shouldn't you be glad? Luckily I'm with you, so you don't have to suffer the pressure to get married." After saying that, Lu Zhiyan laughed smugly.

"Come on, being with me is your good fortune. With someone as outstanding as me, what kind of person can't you find? Why would I need to pressure you into marriage?"

The two argued sharply, each highlighting their own strengths.

Nanxu got tired in no time. "I'm not going to argue with you anymore, I'm too tired."

"It's already eleven o'clock, you should wash up and get some rest. Can we go out on a date tomorrow?" Lu Zhiyan suggested cautiously.

He had gotten used to living with Nan Xu; he liked Nan Xu and enjoyed being with her.

Previously, they were separated due to lack of opportunity while on business trips. But now they are both in Beijing, and their homes are only an hour's drive apart.

He didn't want to suffer the pain of unrequited love. If it weren't for the fact that the elders of the Lin family were all there, he would have packed his bags and gone to the Lin family to stay until the second day of the Lunar New Year before returning home.

"A date? Where are we going on a date?" Nan Xu's soft voice revealed a sense of helplessness.

"A private cinema?" Lu Zhiyan suggested.

The implication is clear: he just wants her body.
"Private cinema? You really have the nerve to say that."

"Why should I be embarrassed? I missed you, I just missed you. Psychological liking is liking, but isn't physical liking also liking?" Lu Zhiyan asked, looking aggrieved.
