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

Chapter 212 Happy New Year
"You know that's good. Go to your bedroom and rest for a while."

Nanxu paused in her snacking, then stuffed another potato chip into her mouth. "I just finished eating, and I don't want to sleep yet."

Lu Zhiyan lowered his head and remained silent; his purpose was quite obvious.
The two sat on the balcony chatting.

"Let's go, I'm going upstairs to rest." Nan Xu took out a tissue and carefully wiped her fingertips.

"Uh, did you buy that?"

Nan Xu turned around and looked at her. "What?"

"Family planning supplies..."

"No, did you finish using up the previous ones?"

"Ah."

"Go up first and then talk."

Back in her room, Nanxu opened the bedside table drawer, and sure enough, it was gone too.

However, since she is not very fertile, it doesn't really matter whether she wears a condom or not.

"It's okay if you don't need it..."

Lu Zhiyan hugged Nan Xu from behind and kissed the tip of her ear.

……

Before they knew it, it was New Year's Eve. After finishing their New Year's Eve dinner, the Lin family sat in the living room to stay up all night.

As soon as the clock struck twelve, Mr. and Mrs. Lin took out red envelopes and distributed them to their children.

Although Lin Jingze and his family were already in their fifties, they still received New Year's money. After the two elders of the Lin family finished distributing theirs, it was Lin Jingze's turn, followed by Lin Jingheng and Lin Jingshu.

After they finished sending the gifts, everyone went back to their bedroom to rest, as many friends would be coming to visit on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year.

They have the Lin family elders' friends and business partners...

In her sleep, Nanxu felt something licking her cheeks and lips. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Lu Zhiyan's magnified profile.

Nan Xu suddenly woke up with a start and quickly got up. "You... what are you doing here?"

Lu Zhiyan reached out and helped Nan Xu pull up the collar of her pajamas that had slipped off her shoulders.

"I've come to wish Grandpa Lin a Happy New Year," he said casually.

Nan Xu yawned and rubbed her messy hair. "Then why did you come to my room if you weren't downstairs?"

"Of course, it's because Grandpa Lin knows how much I miss you, so he sent me to keep you company," Lu Zhiyan lied without batting an eye.

It was clearly him who told Cenxi that he missed Nanxu, and Cenxi, thinking that the young couple hadn't seen each other for a long time, softened and agreed.

Cen Xi stalled Lin Jingshu and the others, letting them sneak up.

"Are you crazy? What if my uncle and brother see this?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than there was a knock on the door.

"Ah Xu, your Aunt Cen is here, hurry up and get ready to go downstairs," Lin Jingshu said softly.

"Oh, no need. Ah Xu hasn't rested well, so let her rest. There's no need to be so polite," Cen Xi quickly said.

"That won't do either. She's a grown woman, she should know some manners. Okay, stop talking." She urged Cenxi to go downstairs, and then knocked on the door again, "Hurry up."

Nan Xu and Lu Zhiyan exchanged a glance.

Soon after, Nan Xu finished washing up and went downstairs with Lu Zhiyan.

Lin Jingshu and the others, who were sitting on the sofa, saw Lu Zhiyan's figure. Lin Jingshu looked at Lu Zhiyan in disbelief.

She rubbed her eyes. Was this a hallucination? How come Lu Zhiyan had come downstairs too?

Lin Jing's face was gloomy, and she coughed twice without making a sound.

Cenxi lowered her head guiltily.

This brat, he doesn't even know how to hide himself, he just grew up in the open like this, as if he's afraid no one can see him, right?
A very eye-catching bag!
Nanxu blushed and unconsciously touched the tip of her ear.

"Zhiyan, why...did you come downstairs?" Lin Jingshu asked.

"I wanted to use the restroom, but I couldn't find it on the first floor, so I asked Ah Xu, and then..." "Oh, I see." Lin Jingshu chuckled awkwardly.

It would be best if it were true, otherwise, judging from Lin Jingze's expression, he seemed intent on devouring Lu Zhiyan alive.

Lin Jingze loves her daughter the most. Lin Peiqian originally had a younger sister, but Zhao Xiu died shortly after birth due to her poor health.

It just so happens that Nanxu and that child are close in age, so Lin Jing poured all her love for that child into Nanxu.

From childhood to adulthood, Lin Jingze has always favored this little niece the most.

Lin Jing's expression was already bad when Nan Xu and Lu Zhiyan got engaged, and her expression worsened when she heard that they had only known each other for a few months.

Fortunately, Lin Jingzhu often talked to Lin Jingze and he gradually accepted it.

"Don't just stand there, come and sit down." Lin Jingshu gestured for them to come and sit down.

Lin Jing poured himself a cup of tea without making a sound. After Lu Zhiyan sat down, he handed the teacup to him and said, "Young man, you can't rush things. Don't try to steal a chicken and end up losing it, or that won't be good."

His eyes and brows were filled with indifference.

Lu Zhiyan accepted the gift with a smile, saying, "Uncle is right."

uncle?

Who gave him permission to call himself that?

He was about to speak when Lin Jingshu interrupted him, "Come on, Zhiyan, have some fruit."

Lin Jing had no choice but to swallow her words.

They were about to leave, and Lin Jingshu and Nan Xu went out to see them off.

"Tell me the truth, was going to the restroom your excuse? Seeing Ah Xu was the real reason, wasn't it?" Lin Jingshu hit the nail on the head.

Lu Zhiyan chuckled, "Aunt Lin is incredibly insightful."

Lin Jingshu smiled and shook her head. "You! You can't do that next time. Big brother dotes on A-Xu, so you can't do anything out of line!"

Lu Zhiyan and Nan Xu exchanged a glance.

I don't know how many times I've done outrageous things.

"Oh dear, what are you saying?" Nan Xu tugged at Lin Jingshu's sleeve shyly.

“I’m not like your uncle, there’s no need for you to hide anything from me,” Lin Jingshu replied calmly.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Nan Xu started getting ready early in the morning, as she was going to visit the Lu family that day.

Yesterday, Lin Jingheng also visited the Lu family, but that was as an old friend. Today, however, she is there as Lu Zhiyan's girlfriend.

Lu Zhiyan drove to the entrance of the Lin residence early in the morning and waited. Soon after, Nan Xu came out with gifts.

Looking in the rearview mirror, Lu Zhiyan saw Nan Xu open the car door and get out. As Nan Xu approached, he took the gift from her and placed it in the back seat.

"Didn't I say we didn't need to prepare any of this? It's just a meal, no need to be so polite."

“I said I didn’t need to, but my mom insisted that I bring it.”

"Get in the car, it's cold outside."

Upon arriving at the Lu family home, Nan Xu was no longer reserved and went straight inside. Lu Zhiyan acted like her little follower, carrying her gifts behind her.

Cen Xi came out of the kitchen with a fruit platter and saw Nan Xu arrive. She quickly walked to the living room, placed the fruit platter on the table, and took Nan Xu's hand. "Ah Xu, you're here. Come and sit down. Is it cold outside? Are you feeling alright?"

"No no."

Lu Zhiyan was merely a figurehead; he handed the items to the servant and told him to "take them to the storeroom."

"Where are Grandpa and Grandma?" Lu Zhiyan asked.

"Oh, I'm going for a walk. I'll also buy some of Ah Xu's favorite little cakes."

Nan Xu looked at Lu Zhiyan with a sense of flattery.

"Oh? It's so cold, and Grandpa and Grandma aren't in good health. What if something happens to them?"

Nanxu was incredibly nervous; it was truly a great honor.
