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

Chapter 211 A Sweet Date
Nan Xu's cheeks flushed slightly, and she licked her dry lips. "Send me the time and place you want."

After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.

Nan Xu threw her phone on the bed, covered her blushing face with her hands. Lu Zhiyan was getting better and better at pretending to be wronged and pitiful; he could say anything.

Lu Zhiyan looked down at his phone and chuckled softly in exasperation.

He sent the time to Nan Xu shortly afterward. As for the location... no need for a location, he would come pick her up.

After washing up, Nan Xu lifted the covers and got into bed. She looked at the message Lu Zhiyan had sent: "Only time?"

Where should we go on our date?
[Surprise! I'll pick you up tomorrow morning. Now you should go to sleep.]
Early next morning

After Nan Xu finished tidying up, she went downstairs to have breakfast. Lin Zhengyu was the only one at the table. He looked tired and was filled with a faint sense of irritability.

"What's wrong? You look terrible." Nan Xu pulled out a chair and sat down.

Lin Zhengyu stared blankly at Nan Xu with lifeless eyes, and whispered in her ear, "I'm going on a blind date today. I stayed up all night to prepare, and my dark circles are enough to deter the other person. If I try anything funny, it'll definitely be a disaster."

Nan Xu's lips twitched. "Well, that's not a bad idea."

"By the way, what are your plans for today? Would you like to come with me?"

Nan Xu shook her head and refused, "No, I have an appointment with Zhiyan today." After saying that, she picked up her milk and took a sip.

Upon hearing that the two were going on a date, Lin Zhengyu felt that his life was truly miserable.

Being pressured to get married during the Chinese New Year is bad enough, but then you have to go on blind dates, and you can't refuse. In contrast, Nan Xu has exquisite makeup and a carefully styled hairstyle. They're both human, so why is there such a huge difference?
Nan Xu glanced at her wristwatch; it was getting late, and she needed to eat quickly.

She finished breakfast in no time, took out a tissue to wipe her mouth, and got up to leave.

"Hey, you've already finished eating?" Lin Zhengyu asked Nan Xu.

Two steamed buns, a few shumai, a glass of milk... Is that enough to fill you up?
"Pretty much, our dates always involve eating and drinking."

Back in the room, Nanxu put a few teething snacks for Guaiguai, then took her bag and went downstairs.

I took him to the hospital for a check-up yesterday, and his cold is almost gone. I won't let him go out for fresh air for the next few days.

Lu Zhiyan had been waiting by the roadside for a while, but he just sat quietly in the car without sending any messages or making any calls to urge Nan Xu on her way.

Nanxu came out after a short while.

Upon seeing the familiar license plate number, Nan Xu opened the passenger door and got in.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Nan Xu put her bag down in the back seat and took off her scarf.

"No, I just arrived."

While Nanxu was taking off her scarf, Lu Zhiyan reached out and pulled over the passenger seatbelt to help her fasten it.

Nanxu had become accustomed to this, and the air was no longer filled with romantic bubbles or ambiguous atmosphere.

"What are your plans for today's date?" Nan Xu asked.

"We'll watch a movie and have dinner, then go back to our place in the afternoon, and I'll bring you back tonight," Lu Zhiyan explained earnestly as he started the car.

Watching a movie and having a meal won't take more than a few hours in total, so isn't it just that I want to spend time with her?
"No, let's just go home. We have everything at home, and I don't want to squeeze with other people in the mall."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhiyan raised an eyebrow slightly. "Are you serious?"

"Okay, let's go to the supermarket to buy some groceries first. Aunt Li is also on vacation, so her refrigerator should be empty."

"Row."

The two drove to a supermarket and bought enough ingredients for just two meals. They would not be back until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year and would not be there at other times.

Lu Zhiyan put the ingredients in the refrigerator. "What do you want to eat for lunch?"

"I'm going upstairs to choose a movie, using the dishes you usually make." With that, she went straight up to the third floor.

It was still early; they could watch a movie before cooking. Lu Zhiyan pushed open the door to the home theater, where Nan Xu had already chosen a movie and was sitting on the sofa watching.

"What movie did you choose?" Lu Zhiyan sat down next to Nan Xu and put his arm around her.

You probably haven't seen the new movie "The Ice Age Documentary," have you?

"No, I don't like watching movies." Lu Zhiyan and Nan Xu leaned their heads together, his warm breath brushing against Nan Xu's neck.

"I love watching, so don't talk." Nan Xu manually covered Lu Zhiyan's mouth.

Lu Zhiyan's eyes darkened, and he licked Nan Xu's palm with the tip of his tongue.

The damp heat from her palm filled Nanxu with shock. She instantly withdrew her hand, her ears turning bright red, and stammered, "What...what are you doing?"

"Nothing, I just think your hands smell nice."

Nan Xu gritted her teeth. How frivolous Lu Zhiyan was.

"Don't you dislike watching movies? Then go downstairs and cook."

Lu Zhiyan wrapped his arms around Nan Xu's waist, rested his chin on Nan Xu's shoulder, and whispered sweetly.

"I don't want to, I want to be with you."

"Then you better stay put and don't bother me while I'm watching the movie!" Nan Xu pretended to be angry and poked Lu Zhiyan's cheek with her finger.

"Mmm," Lu Zhiyan responded softly.

Soon the movie came to an end. Nan Xu turned her head to look at Lu Zhiyan, who was leaning on her shoulder and had fallen asleep.

She lowered the volume with the remote control, her hand caressed Lu Zhiyan's cheek, and she lowered her head slightly to kiss Lu Zhiyan's forehead.

Lu Zhiyan opened his eyes groggily, looking at the slender, fair neck and the curvaceous figure.

His low, husky voice rang in Nan Xu's ear, "You...are you...making a fuss about me?"

Upon hearing this, Nan Xu stiffened for a moment.

What do you mean by being frivolous? They are engaged, so this is perfectly normal!

"No, I was caressing you." Nan Xu pursed her lips and leaned back on the sofa.

"You're lying through your teeth!" Lu Zhiyan muttered under his breath.

"Unwilling? If you don't want to, I can caress someone else." Nan Xu pretended not to care.

"No, you're mine!" A glint flashed in Lu Zhiyan's eyes, his voice carrying a hint of displeasure.

"Hmph, go cook, I'm hungry." Nan Xu kicked Lu Zhiyan's shin.

"Okay, you little glutton." Lu Zhiyan affectionately pinched Nan Xu's nose.

While Lu Zhiyan was cooking, Nan Xu found a movie to watch, since she had nothing else to do anyway.

In no time, Lu Zhiyan had prepared three dishes and a soup. He pushed open the door and came in, saying, "It's ready, you can eat now."

Nan Xu paused the movie and followed Lu Zhiyan downstairs to eat.

After finishing her meal, Nanxu suddenly felt like going swimming.

Lu Zhiyan silently looked at the snow in the yard. It was five degrees below zero today. Although the swimming pool was indoors, it was still cold.

"Let's forget it. It's too cold today. You'll catch a cold if you go swimming," Lu Zhiyan coaxed Nan Xu gently.

Nan Xu had only acted on a whim, but after glancing at today's weather, she immediately dismissed the idea.

"I was just saying it casually. Since it's so cold today, let's forget about it." Nan Xu touched the tip of her nose dejectedly.
