The voluptuous and beautiful nanny, Technician Shen fell for her.

Zhao Qiang scrambled away, and Su Nianhe finally put down the kitchen knife, her limbs trembling.

The area outside the iron gate was deserted, except for the cicadas still chirping.

She leaned against the doorpost, panting heavily.

Zhao Qiang's vulgar words had unsettled her.

Shen Huai got drunk last night and mistook her for someone else.

Only heaven, earth, and she herself know this. If anyone finds out, she definitely won't be able to stay in this house any longer.

Su Nianhe turned around and went back to the kitchen, put the cleaver back on the cutting board, and continued washing vegetables.

Before noon, the sound of high heels clicking on the stone slabs could be heard in the courtyard.

Wang Liping unusually left work early today and came home early.

She walked into the yard in her leather shoes, went up to the second floor, and then into the kitchen, carrying a brown paper bag in her hand.

"Nianhe, stop busying yourself." Wang Liping put the paper bag on the stove, her tone revealing an unusual eagerness and excitement.

Su Nianhe wiped her hands on her apron, looking somewhat bewildered: "Sister-in-law Wang, why are you back so early today? Dinner isn't ready yet."

"Aunt Wang can cook the meal while carrying Ping An." Wang Liping stepped forward, grabbed Su Nianhe's arm, and led her outside. "Go wash your face and come out with me."

Su Nianhe was being pulled towards the nanny's room, her heart pounding with panic: "Where are we going?"

"Let's go to the state-run restaurant." Wang Liping pushed her into the nanny's room and said in a low voice, "I went to the union today to inquire. Lu Yi is very satisfied with you and wants to continue to get to know you. This is a golden opportunity. Let's strike while the iron is hot. I'll treat you two to lunch today and settle things."

Upon hearing this, Su Nianhe's mind went blank.

Shen Huai's words in the alley last night still echoed in my ears.

He told her not to agree too quickly and not to give herself away.

But just as she was about to refuse, Wang Liping's face darkened.

"Don't be ungrateful." Wang Liping's tone was cold and hard as she shoved the brown paper bag into her arms. "Their conditions are so good, for them to take a liking to a country girl like you is a blessing from your past life. Do you think you can stay in the Shen family forever? You should hurry up and find a good family to marry into; that's the proper way out."

Su Nianhe hugged the paper bag, her fingers unconsciously picking at the edge.

She didn't want to go, but she knew she had no right to refuse.

Wang Liping is the hostess; if she doesn't go, Wang Liping has a hundred ways to make her unable to stay in the house.

Besides, Shen Huai was just drunk last night and mistook her for someone else; his attitude towards her this morning was as cold as ice.

She couldn't let an unrealistic dream ruin her chance to make a living in the city.

"Change it," Wang Liping said, pointing to the paper bag.

Su Nianhe opened the paper bag, inside was a red floral dress with white flowers.

The fabric feels very soft, and the style is even more fashionable than the light yellow polyester dress I wore last night. The waist is very fitted, and the hem has a slightly wavy edge.

"I bought this before I had my baby, and it's never been used." Wang Liping crossed her arms, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes, but she had gone to great lengths to get rid of Su Nianhe. "I can't wear it now because my waist is too big, so you're lucky. Wear this to see Lu Yi, and I guarantee he won't be able to take his eyes off it."

Su Nianhe lowered her head and whispered, "Thank you, Sister-in-law Wang."

Wang Liping turned around and went out to wait for her.

Su Nianhe closed the door, took off her old jacket, and put on the floral dress.

This dress is also a fitted style; when the zipper is zipped up, it fits snugly at the waist.

The red fabric with white flowers made her skin appear dazzlingly white.

She untied her two braids, re-braided them, and draped them in front of her.

Pushing open the door and stepping outside, I saw Wang Liping drinking water in the living room.

Hearing the noise, Wang Liping looked up and almost choked on the water.

She knew Su Nianhe was beautiful, but in this new dress, her delicate face and alluring figure exuded a natural charm.

Wang Liping felt a pang of jealousy, but it also strengthened her resolve to get her to leave the Shen family as soon as possible.

If this vixen stays at home any longer, she'll bewitch all the men in the Shen family sooner or later. But her mother-in-law, Liu Huizhen, thinks that Su Nianhe can keep Shen Ping'an if she can take good care of him.

"Let's go." Wang Liping put down her cup and walked ahead.

The state-run restaurant was not far from the compound.

It was lunchtime, and the place was bustling with noise, the aroma of food filling the entire street.

Wang Liping had booked a small private room in advance and led Su Nianhe inside.

Lu Yi had already arrived in the private room.

He wore a clean white shirt today, and his hair was neatly combed. He looked a little awkward sitting in the chair.

As soon as the door opened, he stood up.

Lu Yi was stunned when he saw Su Nianhe following behind Wang Liping.

Su Nianhe lowered her head, her hands gripping the hem of her skirt.

The red floral dress made her look like a newly blooming flower, with two braids hanging down in front of her.

Lu Yi couldn't take his eyes off it, his palms were sweating, and he even forgot to say something.

When Wang Liping saw this, she was overjoyed, knowing that the deal was done.

"Comrade Lu, have you been waiting long?" Wang Liping said with a smile as she walked over and pulled out a chair for Su Nianhe to sit down.

Lu Yi then came to his senses, his face flushed, and quickly poured them tea: "No, I didn't wait long, I just arrived too."

Su Nianhe sat on the chair, her skirt cinching her waist so she could only straighten her back.

She didn't dare look at Lu Yi, only staring at the teacup in front of her.

"Nianhe is a shy girl," Wang Liping chimed in from the side. "She told me yesterday when she came back that Comrade Lu is a very kind person and takes special care of her."

Lu Yi scratched his head and smiled憨厚ly: "Comrade Su is also quite good."

The dishes were served quickly, including fish and meat, making it a very sumptuous meal.

While eating, Wang Liping steered the conversation toward serious matters.

"Comrade Lu, as you know, it's not easy for Nianhe to live alone in the city. Your family is well-off. If you really think she's a good match, let's finalize this matter as soon as possible."

Lu Yi put down his chopsticks, looked at Su Nianhe with a serious expression, and said, "Sister-in-law Wang, as long as Comrade Su agrees, I can go and submit the marriage application tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Su Nianhe nearly dropped her chopsticks on the table.

too fast.

She met him for the first time yesterday, and she wants to settle things today.

"This..." Su Nianhe raised her head, her voice trembling, "Brother Lu, this is too fast."

"No rush." ​​Wang Liping kicked her under the table, a smile plastered on her face. "These kinds of things need to be dealt with quickly. Comrade Lu is so sincere, what are you still hesitating for?"

Seeing Su Nianhe's reddened eyes, Lu Yi assumed she was being pressured by Wang Liping and quickly said, "Comrade Su, don't be afraid. I'm not forcing you. If you feel it's too fast, we can spend more time together. I came here today to let you know my attitude. I will treat you well."

He speaks honestly and without a trace of pretense.

Su Nianhe looked at him, her mind a complete mess.

If you agree to his request, you can leave the Shen family, leave those days of anxiety and fear, no longer have to worry about Zhao Qiang's harassment, and no longer have to live in fear because of Shen Huai's approach.

However, when Lu Yi said he wanted to be good to her, what flashed through her mind was the kiss from last night that smelled of alcohol, and the white shirt draped over her shoulder in the alley.

"I..." Su Nianhe bit her lower lip, unsure how to begin.

Seeing this, the older woman sitting next to Lu Yi spoke up to ease the tension: "Little Lu, have you told your parents? Marriage is a big deal, you still need to ask your parents for their consent."

This is a union official who organized the matchmaking event last night. He is responsible for organizing the marriages of these employees, so he naturally knows about Lu Yi's parents' situation. Although Su Nianhe was introduced to the matchmaking event by Wang Liping, she is just a nanny for the Shen family and comes from the village. The Lu family couple probably wouldn't be interested in her.

Just then, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
