Chapter 3, Journey Together

That day, no matter how Lu Chong asked, she only smiled and refused to give him her phone number. Unexpectedly, the two of them had quite a fate, as they happened to meet in such a service area.

The memory of warm wine left Yan Lu speechless

"Come in quickly." As Yan Qingyu caught sight of Wen Jiu behind Yan Lu, she was momentarily taken aback. Who is this beautiful girl? Why is she coming back with Yan Lu? Today is New Year's Eve, which is not an ordinary holiday. Bringing a girl home at this time usually carries special significance and implies a special relationship.

"You come to KFC, bring your wallet." Wen Jiu said this succinctly and promptly hung up the phone

After swiping the card, the clerk smiled sweeter than a candy: "Welcome, the two of you, to visit again next time"

As she took the garment with warm wine, her fingertips brushed against the fabric, prompting her to check the label. Indeed, after glancing at the price in the fitting room, she rubbed her temples.

The store manager followed the handsome finger of the wealthy patron and felt a surge of joy in his heart. This is the most expensive piece of clothing in the store, sir, you truly have an eye for quality. Please do not look at the label, oh handsome patron.

After waiting for seven seconds with the warm wine, the call was connected, and a clear, low voice came through, saying "Hello" with a slight nasal tone, which was quite alluring

At this moment, a very strange expression appeared on Yan Lu's face

"Brother is lying, she is not your girlfriend," Yan Huan said proudly as she poked her little head out of the window. "Lovers should hold hands and walk together."

Kick the ball back

Although this dress is very beautiful, its color and style are something she has never tried before, completely incompatible with her straightforward and efficient personality. She has always preferred cool-toned clothing in light gray, beige, and light brown, with a style that is simple and elegant. She has always kept a respectful distance from such delicate, princess-style dresses.

In Mr. Yan's dictionary, there are no three words for coaxing women, including women who are four years old

As Wen Jiu was leading Yan Huan towards the business vehicle, a man suddenly jumped down from a nearby bus and shouted at Wen Jiu: "Miss Wen."

Yan Lu carried the bag and gritted his teeth once more

Wen Jiu is aware that he has changed his mind at the last minute, and so quickly; anyone would be angry in his position. His anger towards Yan Lu is not surprising and is fully understood, so he sincerely apologizes: "I am sorry, Mr. Yan, please provide me with the account number, and I will return the deposit immediately"

Wen Jiu looked at the long and arrogant finger pointing at her, and only then did she confirm that he really intended to buy clothes for her. Was it because he found her clothes too few? Too ugly? Or too low-end? Or perhaps, simply not to his taste?

He sneered: "The agreement states tenfold compensation, are you sure?"

"Indeed."

However, since Mr. Yan likes it, then let us just buy one. After all, she had suddenly wanted to breach the contract earlier, which made him angry, and at this moment, she felt somewhat apologetic.

For Mr. Yan, who never flatters women and has no intention of doing so, acting cute is a completely ineffective and low-level tactic. Mr. Yan does not even give the other party a chance to continue their advances; he simply puts the cash into his wallet and turns to leave.

Having practiced judo since elementary school and frequently interacting with Xu Zan, she is quite at ease with physical contact with the opposite sex. When Yan Lu holds her hand, she perceives it merely as a handshake with a man in the course of work

In the end, he still got off the car with his wallet

Such wealthy customers who swipe their cards without considering the price are truly delightful

Warmed wine made him pause in surprise; would he encounter acquaintances at the service area? Coming over was a clean and refined young man, somewhat familiar to him.

Yan Huan finished conveniently and tilted her head to look at the warm wine: "Sister, are you really my brother's girlfriend?"

Soon, a woman in her fifties opened the door. Upon seeing Yan Lu, she immediately beamed with joy and exclaimed, "Lu is back, come in quickly, Grandpa and Grandma are waiting for you." Yan Qingyu is the cousin of Yan Lu's father, the third in her family order. After her husband passed away and her children started their own families, she has been living in the Yan household to take care of the two elderly.

Yan Lu's cold and piercing gaze was cast upon Wen Jiu's face from the mirror, dark and somber. The moment Wen Jiu's eyes met his gaze, he immediately felt a chill deep within.

This little girl is simply too cunning, Wen Jiu smiled and said: "Huan Huan, didn't you just have breakfast?"

Yan Huan immediately turned her face and asked, "Brother, why is she also with us?"

The vehicle slowly made its way through the crowd. The people on the street seemed to lack a strong habit of adhering to traffic rules, with pedestrians walking in the middle of the road, and electric bikes, bicycles, and motor vehicles all mixed together, truly testing the driving skills.

Wen Jiu graciously tolerated Mr. Yan's "turning the tables" and generously allowed him to hold her hand, for the time had come to perform.

Diving, swimming, skiing, fishing

As he pondered, Yan Lu had already entered a shop

Yan Huan waved excitedly and said, "Brother, hurry and give me the money"

The girl in the mirror is simply as festive as a ... . ... bride.

Yan Lv turned around, making an effort to suppress the impatience in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "This is a highway, we cannot stop. Please hold on a little longer, we will reach the service area ahead where you can use the restroom."

Yan Huan asked in surprise, "Are you joining us as well?"

Yan Lu is paying a substantial amount to rent a girlfriend. She believes that it must be due to the pressure from the elders at home who are hastily pushing for marriage, which has forced him into this desperate measure. However, at this moment, observing the reaction of his grandparents, it is evident that they are not surprised by his bringing back a girlfriend; rather, they seem a bit startled.

Yan Lvy walked out of the store with long strides.

It is actually a watermelon-red Chinese cotton jacket, featuring a diagonal placket, a stand collar, and frog buttons, with two vividly embroidered butterflies on the shoulders, flying side by side.

Yan Huan finished her hamburger and drank her soybean milk, and rather unladylike, she told Wen Jiu that she was too full and needed to go to the restroom. Wen Jiu quickly took Yan Huan to the bathroom

The elderly lady joyfully embraced Yan Huan. The old gentleman, holding two walnuts in his hand, upon seeing Wen Jiu, suddenly had his smile frozen as if by a cold wind. The walnuts in his hand fell with a thud, rolling to Wen Jiu's feet.

Mr. Yan's hand trembled slightly as he put the change into his wallet

Fifteen minutes later, the car stopped in the underground parking garage of Feida Guomao

Yan Lvyu's anger had not yet subsided; he sat alone on the chair behind the sofa, took out a book and opened it. Of course, his head throbbed with anger, and he could not read a single word.

Yan Lu looked as if he had been struck by lightning, staring down at the three large bags in his hands, wondering if this was a dream...

Yan Lu stepped up the stairs, with Wen Jiu following closely behind him as they entered the courtyard

Yan Luyi was taken aback, suddenly having a thought: she wouldn't abscond with the funds, would she

Wen Jiu arrived in County X for the first time on New Year's Eve. Unexpectedly, it was even more lively than the provincial capital. The streets were bustling with locals preparing for the New Year, holding Spring Festival couplets and New Year paintings, their faces filled with joy, creating a strong festive atmosphere. In the provincial capital, during the few days of the Spring Festival each year, it resembles a deserted city, especially on New Year's Eve when the streets are empty, creating a desolate feeling that is quite unsettling.

When the elder brother was indifferent, Wen Jiu could not bear to watch and pulled the little girl up from her seat, redoing her little braids for her

Yan Lu turned his head abruptly and coldly asked, "What did your mother say?"

Yan Lu looked at her with a blank expression, still uttering the three words that brooked no refusal: "Go try."

Tall and upright stature, long and straight legs, the figure is truly flawless and impeccable, especially when wearing this type of vertical-collared coat, it is simply stylish and handsome, making one drool.

Oh, you really have a big temper and still hold a grudge. With a smile while warming the wine, she deliberately spoke mysteriously to Yan Huan: "Ask your brother."

It seems that it is necessary to choose a rather aloof and elegant outfit to highlight her kind of dominance and aura, because the purpose of taking her back to her hometown is not only to provide an explanation to her grandparents, but more importantly, to give Yu Qianqian a "clarification".

The car entered the highway, heading towards City X, without any music playing. The three men in the front seat were increasingly quiet, resembling wood, brick, and stone, respectively. Wen Jiu could tell at a glance that this was their usual mode of interaction.

Why is that? Hehe, this little girl is quite gossipy while holding back her laughter with warm wine

Yan Lu wore a serious expression, paused for a moment, and let out a hum through his nose: "She is my girlfriend"

Mr. Yan's mind has begun to function like a tape recorder again

Warm wine : `` ... ... ''

Girlfriend

Yan Lu, with a serious expression, was the first to get into the car, taking a seat by the window in the middle row.

Mr. Yan's action compelled Wen Jiu to introduce to Lu Chong: "This is my boyfriend, Yan Lu."

The car stopped at the service area, and Yu Qiang opened the car door to carry Huan Huan down. Wen Jiu felt that she was still young and was not at ease with her going to the restroom alone, so she also got out of the car.

Forty minutes later, the vehicle entered City X

As she warmed the wine, she couldn't help but recall those fragmented terms of the agreement: showering daily, washing her hair every day, brushing her teeth three times a day... She covered half of her face, only wanting to sigh, wondering how she would endure seven days with this meticulous man

Wen Jiu walked up to him, smiling gently: "Mr. Yan, since the contract has already taken effect, starting today, I will be your girlfriend, right?"

Dad and Mom have gone to the United States because Mom is about to give birth to my younger brother

Sixteen days

Yan Huan looked out the window and exclaimed joyfully, "We have finally arrived"

It seems that it is too late to amend the agreement now, however, fortunately, there is still a way to remedy the situation

Yan Lv furrowed his thick black brows, silently recalling the terms of the agreement in his mind, and then sadly realized that there seemed to be quite a few loopholes

Wen Jiu casually said, "Huan Huan, Master Yan has arrived"

In the marketplace, he has always despised those who are untrustworthy and fickle; once someone loses his trust, there will never be another opportunity for cooperation. In life, whether it is the twenty-five-year-old Yu Qianqian or the four-year-old Yan Huan, he has experienced how terrifying and troublesome women can be, which is why he has always preferred not to engage with them. Finally, this woman named Wen Jiu has sparked a bit of interest in him, but unexpectedly, she instantly self-deprecated to the point of leaving him speechless

Entering the restroom, Yan Huan squatted contentedly on the toilet and said to Wen Jiu: "Sister, you are much better than my mother. She only lets me eat KFC once every three months"

What does she mean by this? She bought this extremely expensive dress with an air of not caring about money. Is she mocking him for being stingy and giving her clothes that are too cheap? So she buys an expensive one to slap him in the face, right?

Yes, that's right

In front of him were two troubles, one big and one small, hand in hand. He stared at the graceful figure, his hands tightly clasped in his pockets. She had actually become bold enough to question his sexual orientation, and he could not allow her to continue down this path.

Wen Jiu opened the car door and placed the bag on the seat beside Yan Lu, smiling gently: "Yan Lu, you wear size 185 clothing, it should fit perfectly, right"

Originally, I had given her a score of 91 in my heart, but it instantly dropped to 11, no, to 1!

Mr. Yan entered the elevator but went to the second floor, isn't this the women's clothing department

Yan Lv was so angry that he wanted to roll his eyes, but due to his usual composure, he managed to hold it in, though his heart was already trembling with rage. ... He had long anticipated that women were unreliable, lacking credibility, and could turn against you faster than flipping a page in a book, and indeed ...

Untrustworthy, unreasonable, heartless, merciless, incomprehensible... Mr. Yan mentally employed thirty derogatory terms in one breath, precisely timing them like a stopwatch for thirty seconds. He turned back on time, his thick brows furrowed, his gaze haughty and indignant

The store manager held the clothing, standing in front of her, eloquently persuading, "Sir, your taste is truly remarkable. This down jacket is exceptionally lightweight and breathable, and the style is the most fashionable this year. This organza does not appear bulky at all; you will know as soon as you try it on."

Is that all? Yan Lu had an incredulous expression, raising an eyebrow and asking, "You haven't changed your clothes in seven days?"

Yan Lu, sitting beside, supported his forehead. Could the woman be any more troublesome?

Forget it, let this be a reward for my hard work over the past year

Hello, Grandpa and Grandma

"Huan Huan, I will go with you."

You see, the best way to deal with a woman's unreasonable fuss is to ignore it, straightforward and efficient, without wasting words. Yan Lu stopped, took out the cash again, handed it to the clerk, and then, with a cold gaze, looked at the operation room behind the clerk and expressionlessly said, "What do you want to drink?"

The clothes are in the box

Moments later, the car stopped in front of a hotel named Shui Xiang, and Yu Qiang and Wang Cheng got out of the vehicle

Why

Her brows and eyes were elegantly curved, and a hint of a smile lingered at the corners of her lips as she said decisively: "Mr. Yan, shall we set off now"

Wen Jiu vividly narrated the story, and Yan Huan finally quieted down

Lu Chong hurriedly extended his hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Yan"

Wang Cheng handed the car keys to Yan Lu. Yan Lu personally drove the car, navigating around a beautiful park, crossing over a stone bridge, and stopping outside a three-story building.

He turned his head and said to Huanhuan on the sofa: "I'm leaving"

Wen Jiu smiled and said: "Don't take it to heart, really no need to thank me"

Yan Lu also maintained a composed demeanor, remaining in a state of contemplation akin to a marble statue throughout the journey, exuding an air of aloofness and handsomeness

"Well then, you stay at home by yourself." After saying this, Yan Lu surprisingly no longer paid any attention to her and directly walked towards the door.

Aunt Liu quickly brought over a beautiful pair of snow boots, "Huan Huan, dear, it's time to go home to see Grandpa and Grandma."

Wen Jiu walked to the elevator, pressed the button, and then smiled at him: "Since we are a couple, you can just call me Wen Jiu, and I will call you Yan Lu directly."

He clutched his trembling heart; this woman is truly capable of driving a person to death from anger

Fortunately, he had the foresight to have her sign the agreement

Having spoken, she strode to the window, turned her head to look outside, feeling that even a glance at her was simply a waste of time

Yan Lyu immediately frowned and said, "No. Replace the chicken burger with a cod or shrimp burger. Change the cola to soy milk or milk."

Alright, Wang promptly adjusted the route

As the car passed by a park, Yan Lu spoke up: "Wang Cheng, you and Yu Qiang still live in Shui Xiang, right? If anything comes up, I will give you a call."

Originally, the intention was to have a warm wine to slay Hua Xiong, but it ended up causing a major loss of Jingzhou. Although Wen Jiu felt frustrated, upon reflection, since Yan Lucheng's rental of a girlfriend was facilitated through Shang Jingtian, it seemed that his relationship with Shang Jingtian was already very good and close. Therefore, spending seven days with Yan Lu was not necessarily a bad thing. All roads lead to Rome; perhaps she could find another way to approach Shang Jingtian to achieve her own goals

Yan Lu wore a cold expression and spoke in an irresistible tone, saying only three words: "Go try."

In stark contrast to the silence of the three men was Yan Huan, a young girl who was at the lively and active age. After a while of boredom, she began to shout that she wanted to get out of the car to play

With a ding, the elevator doors opened. Yan Lu, carrying three large bags, stepped in first.

How is it her? It is indeed quite an unexpected surprise

Yanhua, who was gossiping about her brother behind his back, felt quite guilty and quickly pulled Wengjiu away.

Of course, warming the wine would not bring him closer to Yan Lu, but he went straight to sit beside Yan Huan

However, Yan Huan tilted her head and thought for a moment, as if she were contemplating whether to reveal something. In the end, unable to contain her curiosity, she said: "I will tell you a secret, but you must not tell anyone, it must be kept confidential"

Yan Lu glanced at the warm wine and asked, "Where is your luggage?"

Men who resolutely buy clothes for women without even looking at the price are truly adorable, to the point that the store manager feels a bit jealous, wishing to say to Wen Jiu: "Miss, just stop being pretentious and go sneak a smile in the fitting room."

Feida International Trade is a relatively upscale shopping venue in City Z. Wen Jiu speculates that he is going to buy some gifts to bring back to show filial piety to the elders

Wen Jiu pointed to the small pull suitcase at the entrance.

A man in his early twenties has appeared in the hall, dressed in a thin jacket despite the cold weather. He looks spirited and full of vigor.

She is about to meet Yan Lu's family. Fortunately, Wen Jiu has never been apprehensive about meeting people, and since she is here as a fake girlfriend, she naturally does not feel the tension and awkwardness of a daughter-in-law meeting her in-laws. Instead, she feels quite relaxed, treating it as a visit to a friend's house.

Is she already accustomed to the rhythm of being commanded

Yan Luyi was taken aback; was she going to buy him clothes? Upon seeing the logo on the clothing bag, he was stunned once again

The hand that warmed the wine is the warmest and smoothest he has ever held, and it is also the most pleasant to touch. It is simply a hand that makes one feel as if they never want to let go once they grasp it

Ah, they truly are a pair of siblings. Although they do not resemble each other much, their expressions are indeed strikingly similar

The handsome wealthy man indeed did not check the label

Before Yan Lu could speak, the elevator doors closed and headed straight for the underground parking garage

The empty space beside Yan Lu suddenly appeared quite desolate

Yan Lu looked again at the small suitcase. Given its size, wouldn't a down jacket or a coat take up more than half of it? Or perhaps she only packed underwear, planning to wear this coat for all seven days?

Indeed, it is simply stunning

He felt that his gaze was already very obvious, very clear, yet the hand of Wen Jiu remained calmly inserted in the pocket of his coat

She suddenly understood where the serene fragrance had come from; there were two plum trees planted in this courtyard, even more lush than the one in the Qingcheng residence, with branches full of blossoms, exuding a cool and refreshing scent. The courtyard was spacious, elegantly and beautifully arranged, with miniature rockeries surrounding the evergreen bonsai. Although it was winter, it still presented a unique charm.

Mr. Yan placed three large paper bags in the trunk, got into the car, and waited for the wine to warm up

The layout of the living room in this small building is very similar to that of the Tingcheng Mansion, both featuring an antique and elegant style; however, the furniture in the hall is sparser, giving it a more spacious appearance

Yan Huan immediately took out the magic ruler pistol and aimed it at Mr. Yan's head in the front row, crisply shouting a few times "pa pa pa"

Although City X does not have heating, the air conditioning indoors still creates a warm, spring-like atmosphere. The daffodils and orchids on the table are blooming in competition, while a kumquat tree under the window is laden with golden fruit. Beside it, a Milan flower is surprisingly still in bloom.

Of course it is ridiculous. She is not his real girlfriend, so why should she let him buy clothes for her, and why should she dress according to his taste

Yan Huan immediately surrendered: "Alright, alright, soy milk."

"Uncle, Aunt, Alu and Huanhuan have returned." As soon as Yan Qingyu finished speaking, both the old lady and the old gentleman turned their faces at the same time and stood up

Regrettably, Ms. Wen from Party B kept her hands in her pockets and showed no intention of taking them out to hand over to him

The shop assistant at the entrance, upon seeing a young couple walk in, was struck by their beauty, as if they were stars. Their demeanor and attire were exceptional, and she immediately approached them with enthusiasm, smiling as she asked, "May I ask what you two need?"

However, in the face of such "good fortune," Wen Jiu showed no signs of appreciation. On her elegant and beautiful face, there was a strange expression, as if this matter were somewhat amusing

Mr. Yan walked confidently towards the car, carrying the bag.

However, while he thought this in his heart, his face displayed a cold and aloof expression, even showing a hint of deliberate disdain and detachment, as if to demonstrate that holding her hand was purely out of compulsion, with no intention of taking advantage of her. If there were any advantage to be had, it would certainly be her taking advantage of him.

Mr. Yan gazed ahead, his handsome face displaying signs of "being forced" and "reluctance". Although he held her hand, the awkward expression on his face, as if he were being violated, was truly... absurd.

Although she was brought here by Yan Lu and forced to choose three pieces of clothing, from the moment she started trying them on, she had made up her mind to pay for them herself. Wen Jiu quickly opened her bag, and in order to prevent Yan Lu from getting ahead, her action of taking out her wallet could almost be described as lightning fast.

As he poured the warm wine, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, realizing that whenever he was reminded of those events from seven years ago, his mind would easily become heated, and his intelligence would falter

Yan Lu stopped the car

He is quite familiar with this brand. The price of one shirt is enough to buy the down jacket she just mentioned. What she bought is actually a trench coat, and this price is even more expensive than the total of the three pieces she has!

Do you know the story of the Three Little Pigs

Wen Jiu hurried to catch up with her, but who would have thought that this little girl, though small in stature, was quite clever. She didn't go to the restroom in KFC; instead, she ran straight to the ordering counter, jumping up and down, shouting: "Sister, sister, sister, I want cola, I want a hamburger"

However, the clerk ignored her card and cheerfully accepted the handsome wealthy man's gold card, smiling as it was processed.

He pulled a piece of paper from the table and handed it to her, coldly asking: "Can you memorize it in ten minutes?"

Wen Jiu initially thought that purchasing one piece would suffice, but unexpectedly, just as she exited the fitting room, the store manager was instructed to present an even more vibrant and exquisite garment.

Yan Huanlai refused to get up from the sofa, saying: "I do not want to go back to my hometown"

The glazed tiles on the wall still retained the bright remnants of snow. As noon approached, the sunlight was dazzling, and a refreshing fragrance wafted through the air. Wen Jiu instinctively recognized it as the scent of plum blossoms, yet he saw no trace of plum blossoms nearby

Clearly, Yan Lu unconsciously displayed a sense of disdain towards this stepmother, both in her gaze and tone, and consequently, she also showed little warmth towards this younger sister

Huan Huan does not have a concept of persistence; she continues to fuss about wanting to get off the bus to go to the restroom. In fact, it may not be that urgent; she is simply impatient sitting in the vehicle, finding it so dull.

Ten times, isn't that two million? ...! This amount is quite substantial. ... ... Wen Jiu rubbed his temples and said with a smile: "Mr. Yan, we have not yet set off, so let's consider the contract as not yet started, shall we?"

Warming the wine with a smile, it is indeed surprising how mature a four or five-year-old child can be. However, this phrase is quite catchy.

I see, so your brother means that men are not troublesome?" Wen Jiu chuckled while opening the bathroom door.

Yan Lu nodded and opened the door to the guest room under the stairs. He took out a large suitcase from inside, along with a cartoon children's rolling suitcase.

As she warmed the wine and tried on her clothes, she stood in front of the mirror and was immediately dazzled by a burst of red light.

Yan Huan was so happy that he was about to bubble, but when he ordered the meal, he suddenly remembered that he didn't bring any money, and her bag was in the car.

Warming the wine, she intuitively sensed that this young man was a skilled practitioner. Her guess was not wrong; Yu Qiang, who had come out of the army, had been by Yan Lu's side for two years. However, his public identity was that of Yan Lu's personal assistant

Yan Lyu made a sound of acknowledgment, his response was as good as no response at all. He did not require the sales staff's recommendations; his sharp gaze swept over the rows of clothing and then stopped on a dark green down jacket. He then extended a finger and pointed, saying: "That one, find a size, and give it to her"

Yan Lü was so enraged that he impulsively placed his hand on Wen Jiu's shoulder

In fact, Mr. Yan has truly misunderstood the good intentions of Wen Jiu

Aunt Liu hurriedly pulled Yan Huan up from the sofa and softly coaxed, "Huan Huan, quickly follow your brother."

Although he calculated that she wouldn't run away, he still felt a little uncertain. As the five minutes passed and she didn't show up, he couldn't help but feel a bit impatient and started to think of negative words in his mind.

"I am sorry, Mr. Yan." Wen Jiu repeated softly, initially wearing a slight smile, but as Yan Lu's expression grew increasingly cold, her smile was completely extinguished by the murderous look on his face.

Fortunately, she is quite well-behaved at the moment

Warming the wine, I touched my chin and sighed, alas, how I wish I could whistle at Mr. Yan's back, what should I do

Wen Jiu held Yan Huan, leaning against the ordering counter. Before them stood the handsome Mr. Yan, one hand in his pocket and the other pushing open the door to KFC. It seemed he exerted no effort in pushing the door, doing so with an effortless grace and charm. Alas, being good-looking, even the way he pushed the door was so pleasing to the eye

When I walked out of the fitting room, the salesperson and the store manager came up to me in astonishment and praised, "Your complexion is fair, and you look really beautiful."

Preferences

Wenjiu didn't know why he wanted to invite himself, but he didn't ask much and just carried his small bag and followed him off the car.

Wen Jiu did not even glance at him, directly picking up a napkin to wipe Yan Huan's small hands. When taking care of children, her demeanor was not at all aloof or proud; instead, it was filled with gentleness and patience, truly charming and endearing

The car was heading east, and while waiting at the traffic light at the intersection, Yan Lu suddenly said to the driver Wang Cheng, "First, let's go to Feida Guomao."

Yan Huan had nothing to play with, so he began to climb up and down, making a fuss and rolling around. After a while, he stopped and complained about being thirsty

He also discovered a significant flaw in the agreement, which is: Party B must seek prior approval before leaving Party A and is not allowed to act independently.

Warming the wine without haste, leisurely following behind him, admiring his silhouette

Two people walked towards the public restroom. Suddenly, Yan Huan stopped and pointed to a KFC nearby, saying, "I want to go to the restroom inside there. I don't want to go to the public restroom." Then, she ran towards KFC.

Warmed wine but not consumed, standing at the elevator door, I smiled at the irritable Mr. Yan inside: "You go down first, wait a moment, I will be down shortly."

Yan Lvdun was immediately struck by darkness before his eyes; he absolutely could not tolerate a woman appearing before him in the same outfit for seven days. This was simply too dreadful, a true torment to his noble, aloof, and fastidious sensibilities.

Three pieces of clothing, changing every two days, so the eyes do not have to suffer, and the key is that it is also psychologically more comfortable. The thought of being in a relationship with someone who does not change clothes for seven days makes him feel that it is simply better to be dead than alive

Yan Lv felt a darkness before his eyes, do you think playing with my feelings is very interesting

Warming the wine, he opened the car door and helped Yan Huan out of the car

Yan Lu turned around and shot a glare at Yan Huan, his hands, which were tucked into his pockets, reluctantly came out, and then, with great reluctance, reached for the warm wine

She looked at Yan Lu from the mirror, and just at that moment, he was also looking at her

Mr. Yan's esteemed finger then pointed to a light gray double-breasted cashmere coat

Wen Jiu felt that something was amiss, and immediately turned his face to ask: "Mr. Yan, you wouldn't still need... a fake engagement with me, would you?"

Because of the chance encounter with Lu Chong, the scene from that day on the rooftop resurfaced in his mind. It must be said that the moment of warm wine indeed left an extremely deep impression on him. Just thinking about Lu Chong's admiring and grateful gaze towards her, even though he was not her real boyfriend, somehow made him feel exceptionally pleased and comfortable. Therefore, Mr. Yan decided to generously forgive her for all her various demands.

Thus, on the face of Wen Jiu, which was bright and beautiful, there was no longer a trace of displeasure, as if the recent incident of refusal to fulfill the agreement had never occurred at all

Mr. Yan was overwhelmed by a tide of regret ... ! ... The contract failed to specify that when there is physical contact between Party A and Party B, Party B should cooperate promptly and actively, rather than passively resisting or pretending to be oblivious!

Before Lu Chong could speak, a slightly displeased voice was heard, "Huan Huan"

A seven-seater business vehicle is parked outside the iron gate

I will do it myself

This is a personal profile of Yan Lu. Although it is relatively simple, it should be more than sufficient to pretend to be a boyfriend or girlfriend to deal with relatives or family.

He immediately realized that the agreement he hastily signed omitted a very important clause, namely: Party B's outerwear must not be worn for three consecutive days

Yan Lu, please go and fetch an empty cup

She quickly suppressed the shock in her heart and managed to force out a very apologetic smile: "I am sorry, Mr. Yan, but something urgent suddenly came up on my way here, and I cannot go to City X. I am here to refund the deposit."

Yan Huan then got into the car, sitting in the back seat behind Yan Lu with a sullen expression, unwilling to sit together with her cold and unfeeling elder brother

Yan Huan immediately shut her mouth, raising her small chin, displaying an expression of defiance as if she would rather die than speak, resembling a proud little fighting chicken

Suddenly, a strong scent of the grudges of the wealthy emerged within the car, and Wen Jiu felt the gossip factor within her body jumping around, beginning to come alive

Mr. Yan, the car is all ready

As I raised my head to glance at Yan Lu, unable to resist the urge despite the warmth of the wine, I thought to myself that even during the New Year, there was no need to dress so festively

Yan Huan pouted her lips, which could easily hang an oil pot, and said: "I just want cola"

Lifting her eyes from the warm wine, she looked at Yan Lu with an expressionless demeanor

Fortunately, after two minutes, he finally saw Wen Jiu approaching with a bag in hand

Wen Jiu was worried that Lu Chong would continue to ask her for her phone number, so she smiled and said goodbye, taking Yan Huan with her into the car. Helping others was merely a small effort for her, but she did not expect that it would make Lu Pingyong feel grateful and come to thank her in person, which would instead put psychological pressure on her

Are Dad and Mom also going back to City X? Wen Jiu finds it a bit strange why Yan Huan would be with Yan Lu, especially since Yan Lu is clearly impatient with her and is not good at taking care of children

Lu Chong smiled excitedly yet somewhat shyly as he extended his hand: "Hello, Miss Wen, what a coincidence, I never expected to meet you here"

He stared at her in silence, his sharp, cold eyes capable of killing at this moment

Yan Lu had no choice but to turn his face away and repeated it with his eyes.

Um, this question... The gaze of Wen Jiu swept towards "Party A" Mr. Yan, hoping he would answer. Unfortunately, Lawyer Yan turned his face towards the window, only giving her a cold profile, clearly still angry.

Yu Qiang sat in the passenger seat as the car slowly drove out of the villa

The warm wine brings to mind Lu Chong, the nephew of Lu Pingyong, who is on the rooftop contemplating jumping off.

Birthday

He gritted his teeth and followed along while carrying the bag

After pondering for a while, Wenjiu took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

Wen Jiu let out a sigh of relief; it was not that she was overly sentimental or had a rich imagination, but rather that this watermelon-red Chinese outfit was simply too festive, almost akin to the attire worn for toasting at a wedding

This cannot be blamed on her dullness; it is indeed because Xu Zan has been at the beck and call of Wen Jiu for over ten years, oppressed for over ten years. In the eyes of Queen Wen, having a man run errands is simply a trivial matter. How dare they get angry? Ha, that is truly laughable. Should we give them a lesson?

Wen Jiu picked up the magic ruler that Huan Huan had thrown on the seat and began to teach her how to transform it into a sphere. Although Huan Huan was mischievous, she was very clever and learned it in no time. Wen Jiu then taught her how to turn it into a handgun.

Because he does not like women, he said that women are the most troublesome

Huan Huan nodded and said, "Yes, we live behind Anju Park. Where do you live?"

It is indeed quite embarrassing

She smiled gently, her tone soft and filled with a plea. Generally, men find it difficult to refuse the requests of women, especially those who are young and beautiful.

Driver Wang Cheng was very composed as he slowly maneuvered out of the bustling city center. The car headed east, and the road gradually opened up, seemingly entering a newly developed area. The roads were exceptionally wide, with picturesque scenery on both sides. The squares and buildings were all brand new, exuding a vibrant atmosphere of prosperity.

This is meant to provoke me, isn't it

Wen Jiu looked at Yan Huan causing such a commotion and could only gently say: "Huan Huan, be good, come here, and sister will tell you a story"

Mr. Yan had no choice but to grasp the wrist of the warm wine, pulling that detestable little hand out of the pocket, and then he fiercely held it in his hand

Instead, Yan Lu suddenly turned around to look at Wen Jiu, his expression somewhat strange, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, wanting to act yet remaining still

Yan Lu turned his face and stared blankly at Wen Jiu. The hand that was inserted in his pocket trembled once again

The pairing of the warm wine allowed Yan Lu to secretly breathe a sigh of relief. Because, even though an agreement had been signed, this woman before him made him feel very insecure; she had a history of breaching contracts. If she were to suddenly turn against him at this moment and refuse to play along, he would truly find himself in a difficult position, having toiled all the way to serve her as a subordinate.

Yan Lü felt that his concerns had been temporarily resolved

He seemed to have heard the most absurd, unbelievable, and ridiculous words in the world. He stared at her intently for a moment before saying in a deep voice: "What did you say?"

She actually dares to command him

Unfortunately, he was so furious that he was on the verge of spitting blood, while Wen Jiu showed no reaction at all, completely focused on pouring a small portion of soy milk into an empty cup, blowing on it gently before handing it to Yan Huan. Her brows and eyes carried a gentle beauty, as if touched by a light breeze and floating clouds.

Yan Lu addressed her as "Third Aunt" according to their generational hierarchy

A few months later, Mr. Yan regretted this statement so much that he wished he could cut off his own tongue

Mother said that brother might never find a wife in his lifetime

In the unseen corners, there is no need for pretense; Yan Lu walked towards the elevator, lost in his own thoughts

What is even more infuriating is that Wen Jiu directly took Yan Huan aside to sit down, leisurely waiting for the meal to be served

Furthermore, the clothes for Wen Jiu are all in cool colors. During the New Year, the elders prefer the younger generation in the family to wear bright and festive colors. Although this brand is not a major one, its craftsmanship and fabric are very refined, making it the favorite brand of the elder lady. Therefore, buying a few pieces of clothing for Wen Jiu can be considered a win-win situation

The store manager enthusiastically insisted on serving her warm wine, making it difficult for her to refuse. After some thought, she took her down jacket and entered the fitting room. Since Yan Lu insisted on her buying new clothes, she might as well pay for it herself; after all, it was the New Year, and it was quite normal to buy herself a new outfit. However, she had never tried such a vibrant color and such a lively style before

This is unacceptable; this agreement has too many loopholes, and he must draft a new one. How can a man who is so handsome, charming, and talented, commanding the business world, be reduced to a mere errand boy for a woman

Wen Jiu casually glanced at herself in the mirror; the pea green indeed complemented her complexion. Although it was a down jacket, it featured a fitted design that was not bulky at all. The waistline was adorned with fluffy off-white organza, which looked very beautiful and ethereal

Wen Jiu had already suffered a loss due to carelessness once, so she changed her strategy. Whenever she had doubts in her mind, she would ask directly to avoid making the same mistake again. She must not follow him back to City X in a daze, pretending to be engaged to him; that would absolutely exceed her bottom line, and she would resolutely refuse.

Wen Jiu did not receive the drink, smiled apologetically at the store manager, and turned to Yan Lu, saying: "Mr. Yan, I really do not need it, I have clothes with me."

The store manager excitedly presented the coat to Wen Jiu

Yu Qiang quickly took out a bottle of juice and handed it to her. Not long after Yan Huan finished drinking, she started shouting that she needed to go to the restroom

Yan Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief, then raised his wrist to check the time. Fortunately, in five minutes, they would arrive at the service area

Yan Lvqie walked a dozen steps in a huff, then quickly turned a corner and took his hand out, brushing it off as if to shake off dust a few times before finally putting it into his pocket

He immediately realized that an additional clause should be added to the agreement: Party B must respect Party A and must not give Party A any unpleasant nicknames or inappropriate titles

The elevator has stopped, and he hesitated at the door for a moment, wondering whether he should go up to pursue her

It seems that it was just to validate his discovery, when Miss Yi from the opposing party said cheerfully:

Wen Jiu secretly thought: What a man devoid of any sense of humor. If it were Xu Zan, he would definitely let out a cry and collapse in his seat, then remain 'dead' for a full three minutes. Such a man is truly charming.

Yan Lvy raised an eyebrow and looked at her, seemingly a bit surprised and somewhat skeptical. So soon? He arrogantly took the paper and casually selected two questions to test her.

Yan Lu's phone rang in his pocket. He took it out, and an Arabic numeral 9 was flashing on the screen

At a glance, Wen Jiu let out a sigh of relief; this was the style she favored, elegant and simple, poised and graceful. Mr. Yan's aesthetic taste finally aligned with hers for once

Yan Lu walked up to Wen Jiu's side. Following this, a hand casually rested on her shoulder. Although only the fingertips made contact and the palm hovered in the air, to outsiders, it was clearly a gesture that indicated the intimacy of their relationship

Yan Lu furrowed his brows, looking at her hand

Wen Jiu, who is skilled at playing with the magic ruler and telling stories, and does not have a stern expression like the elder brother, quickly became liked by Yan Huan

The car left the service area, and along the way, Yan Huan only spoke and played with Wen Jiu, maintaining a respectful distance from her elder brother.

Unfortunately, Mr. Yan is not a young master of commerce; in his dictionary, the only words related to women are trouble, and the phrase "cherishing the fragrance and valuing the jade" does not exist.

Lu Chong nodded and asked in surprise, "Yes, are you also returning to City X?"

April 9

How long did the conversation last

He has a premonition that seven days of darkness are about to begin. This is because he overlooked a very important clause in the agreement: Party B shall not instruct Party A to do anything

Wen Jiu felt that something was amiss; could it be that he intended to buy her clothes? Or perhaps he was planning to buy clothes for the elderly at home and wanted her to come and help choose?

Mr. Yan's mind was like a tape recorder, beginning to play this sentence on a loop

Yu Qiang hurriedly took the luggage and walked towards the door

Against the eastern wall of the courtyard, there are two bicycles, one electric tricycle, and an old mobility scooter, indicating that Yan Lu's grandparents enjoy outdoor activities.

Yan Lu pretended not to see, even reluctant to spare a word of comfort when turning back. Thus, Yan Huan began to roll around in the back seat, and in a short while, her neatly braided hair had turned into a tangled mess.

However, Yan Lu did not introduce anyone, and naturally, Yan Qingyu would not ask further, only smilingly leading Yan Huan ahead.

He knows that looking for a girlfriend is never a good thing, and soon he will become an "emperor" and fall into the status of a "little one"

She did not intend to anger him; she simply did not want to take advantage of him. The price of the clothes was somewhat high, and she also did not have the habit of accepting gifts from strangers. Since she could not use her card, she decided to return the money to him in another way. However, Wen Jiu did not expect that her good intentions would lead Yan Lu to deduct the only point he had left in his heart, leaving her with a score of zero.

The warm wine showed no reaction

Yan Lu glanced over from the corner of his eye, feeling a slight surprise in his heart. He did not expect her to be quite skilled, as she had managed to braid the girl's hair so beautifully.

It is an undeniable responsibility of a boyfriend to carry things for his girlfriend. "Here, take this," she said, shoving the bag into his hand. After speaking, she tucked her hands into the pockets of her coat and gracefully took a step ahead.

How is this possible

Bending down to pick up the walnut while holding the warm wine, he raised his head and heard Yan Lv speaking beside him in a calm and unhurried manner: "Grandpa, Grandma, this is warm wine, my girlfriend."

He stood up and put on a coat that was draped over the back of the chair

Yan Lu turned around and cast her a cold glance: "Yes."

"Let's go." Mr. Yan, whose heart was racing with anger, seemed too indifferent to even cast a glance at her. He simply uttered these two words and walked out of the study without looking sideways.

Yan Lu stood tall with his hands in his pockets, exuding a cold and silent demeanor, still maintaining a pensive expression as he stepped up the stairs and pressed the doorbell

Wang Cheng, a driver in his thirties, has been working at the company for nearly ten years. He is a simple and taciturn man

Yan Lvtui had long legs and showed no intention of waiting for her, striding forward and instantly leaving Yan Huan behind.

Yan Huan stared with her round, bright eyes and murmured to herself: "I don't believe it. Mom said,

Regrettably, as Mr. Yan gazed upon the beautiful face before him, what surged within him was not a gentle wave of tenderness, but a tsunami

The problem is that Yan Huan cannot shake off this trouble for the time being

It is hard not to laugh while warming the wine

This is strange, could it be that they simply do not want their grandson to bring a girlfriend home

Warm wine, immediately holding her fingers: "Hmm, it's a secret."

Wen Jiu understood, it was probably for the sake of the child's American citizenship. Thinking that soon, the elderly Yan Lu would have a newborn brother, Wen Jiu couldn't help but feel amused

He trembled as he stood up to take an empty cup, placing it heavily in front of the warm wine. Unfortunately, the paper cup was too light; despite his forceful placement, it did not convey the intense anger and dissatisfaction he felt at that moment

Hmm, does this mean to have him carry something over? Is it that she has started to treat her boyfriend as a mere errand boy and is making him run around?

Mr. Yan, who was shot in the head, turned around fiercely and swiftly confiscated Yan Huan's handgun.

Upon hearing the words "engagement," Yan Lu raised an eyebrow, a proud smile gracing his lips, tinged with a hint of mockery: "Rest assured, I will not be getting engaged to you"

A small lack of patience can disrupt a grand plan. Yan Huan is small in stature but has a great spirit; I cannot allow her to see any flaws.

As soon as their gazes met, Yan Lu immediately averted her eyes and looked elsewhere. No wonder she preferred simple styles in cool colors; when she wore such bright, lively, and playful clothing, she looked just like a student, so fresh that she seemed ready to burst with vitality

Therefore, she would never have thought that these few casual instructions were on the verge of overturning Mr. Yan's worldview. They were about to uproot the deeply entrenched tree of male chauvinism that had been thriving in Mr. Yan's heart for twenty-seven years

She came to apply for the position of girlfriend purely for the sake of Shang Jingtian, and not for money. Therefore, even though this employer in front of her is tall and handsome, so much so that even the way he climbs the stairs makes one's breath quicken, she can only express her apologies

Wen Jiu immediately suppressed his smile.

The situation before him was completely beyond Wen Jiu's expectations

From the perspective of the warm wine, one can just see a side profile of Yan Lü in the front row

Alright

Three minutes later, Wen Jiu handed the A4 paper to Yan Lu, smiling sweetly: "Mr. Yan, I have memorized everything."

Alright

Such an oblivious employee would have been dismissed from the company one hundred and twenty times already

Could it be that she is worried about revealing herself when meeting the parents soon? Wen Jiu gave him a faint smile to show that she was not nervous at all, and Mr. Yan need not worry; she would certainly live up to the 100,000 daily salary.

Yan Lu trembled as he brought over two napkins and placed them heavily on the table

"I am not full, I want to eat more," Yan Huan said, twisting her waist and stamping her feet, starting to throw a tantrum. Children all love fast food, and seeing her drooling with desire, Wen Jiu's heart softened, so she simply picked her up and let her place the order

Wen Jiu followed along with the bag in hand, calling out crisply: "Mr. Yan."

He originally thought that Wen Jiu would continue to be verbose, even pleading, but unexpectedly, in just thirty seconds, Wen Jiu, who had just firmly insisted on breaking the contract, had undergone a significant change in attitude

Of course

Yan Lu snorted softly, raised his chin, and pressed his thin lips into a disdainful arc, resembling an arrogant peacock.

Yan Huan did not believe it at all and turned to Wen Jiu, asking: "Is that true?"

As soon as she stepped out in her coat, Yan Lu glanced at her and directly said to the store manager, "Wrap up these three pieces." Then, he took out his wallet

Yu Qiang was in the car accompanying Huan Huan in play when he saw Yan Lu returning alone, carrying three large paper bags. He was puzzled as to why he did not see his girlfriend, Miss Wen. Could it be that they had a quarrel? Why did Mr. Yan's expression seem somewhat displeased, as if he had been wronged?

Wen Jiu smiled as he took it over, "Alright, no problem"

She actually ordered him around again, she actually ordered him around again

Yan Lu stood in a daze, holding his phone, staring blankly at the large KFC sign outside the car window

Yan Huan looked at the words "City X" written on the bus and curiously asked, "Is your hometown also City X?"

As for why they have been in a relationship for only sixteen days, Wen Jiu found it somewhat strange at first. However, upon further reflection, this arrangement seemed the most reasonable. In case the two of them revealed any flaws in front of their elders, it could be explained that they had just started dating and still had some aspects of each other that they had yet to understand.

At this moment, it is certain that Wen Jiu is not the mother of Yan Lu, but rather Yan Huan's stepmother. This explains the significant age difference between the two siblings; considering Yan Huan's age, it is possible that this stepmother is even younger than Yan Lu.

Hmm? Bride?

Having come to this realization, in the face of Yan Lu, a good friend of Shang Jing Tian, Wen Jiu swiftly adjusted his mindset within thirty seconds and decided to continue fulfilling the contract

Yan Huan grumbled angrily while making an effort to keep up, and Wen Jiu, fearing she might slip, took her hand and said, "Don't be anxious"

Well, no, there are still five hundred thousand that have not been received yet

The house before me, if it were in the provincial capital, could be said to be more precious than a standalone villa, as it is separated from the Anju Park across the small river. However, in the county town, such a courtyard is not particularly eye-catching. Looking around, there are several similar independent courtyards standing not far away, but they do not appear as grand or aesthetically pleasing as this small building before me

Mr. Yan stopped and turned to look at her. Having resolved the major concern weighing on his mind, his expression at this moment was much more pleasant than it had been in the study

It is truly unfortunate that Yan Lu is by the sink, leisurely washing his hands

In order to perform, Mr. Yan endured his grievances and served hamburgers, cola, and soy milk to Her Highness the Princess and Her Majesty the Queen, then sat beside them with his hands in his pockets, sulking as he gazed out the window

The old gentleman and the old lady stared blankly at Yan Lu and Wen Jiu, as well as the hands of the two clasped together. What had originally been expressions of joy and delight suddenly stiffened and vanished. The lively scene abruptly cooled down, creating a somewhat eerie atmosphere

Hello. Wen Jiu shook his hand and smiled gently: "Are you going home for the New Year? Is your second uncle's money coming in?"

Yan Lv reluctantly made a sound of agreement

The store manager, well-versed and knowledgeable, immediately recognized that this gentleman exuded an air of authority as if he were ready to command the world without concern for the price. He instantly understood that a wealthy patron had arrived, and with a beaming smile, he personally presented the down jacket to Wen Jiu, warmly inviting her to the fitting room.

Yan Lv rubbed his temples, as he had always felt that taking a woman out was akin to carrying a sack of troubles along. This time was particularly dire, for he was burdened with two sacks.

Fortunately, there was warm wine along the way; otherwise, he would have fared even worse

A simple gray wool coat, complemented by his good physique and elegant demeanor, instantly exudes a strong British charm, embodying an indescribable air of refined grace. If it weren't for his icy expression, he would indeed be exceptionally pleasing to the eye

Yan Lu merely nodded and said, "Hello, we are in a hurry to set off." As he spoke, he urged Yan Huan and Wen Jiu, "Hurry and get in the car."

Ah, this is simply too ridiculous

It is such a pity that these two sheets of paper are lighter than the paper cup, gently falling onto the table

Yan Huan's sharp scream of "Ah" was as if she had just heard some explosive news, her eyes wide open in astonishment

Mr. Yan felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, as if a powerful typhoon had swept through his mind. Who exactly is the employer? Who truly holds the power? She was so effortlessly, so naturally, and so confidently commanding him!

Yan Huan spoke of not liking to return to her hometown, but when she actually came back, she fluttered to the old lady's side like a little bird, sweetly calling out "Grandma." She truly is a clever child, full of spirit.

Yan Lu felt a buzzing sound in his ears, and his hand, which was tucked in his pocket, clenched in anger. In just half an hour, his title had changed from Mr. Yan to Yan Lu and then to Yan the Wealthy. She had actually begun to give him a nickname.

Upon seeing Yan Lu truly about to leave, Yan Huan hesitated and then followed, with his lips curled up as if they could hold an oil pot

Therefore, as you can see, regardless of what one does, it is essential to plan ahead and think carefully; acting too hastily often leads to mistakes

Yan Lü shook the water off his hands, tore off a piece of paper, slowly dried his hands, and walked out of KFC

When going downstairs, the speed was much faster than when going upstairs just now, completely losing the leisurely and relaxed demeanor. With long legs, he stomped down, looking as furious as a frog, yes, a handsome frog with a British flair. Wen Jiu followed behind, silently making such an assessment of Mr. Yan in his heart.

Of course I will

Yan Lu ignored her words and also disregarded her action of taking out her wallet, simply handing a gold card to the cashier. Almost simultaneously, Wen Jiu also presented her own card.

She wouldn't really have run away with the 200,000 deposit, would she

Thus, the plea for warm wine was met with a cold laugh, "The date on the contract starts from today, and the agreement takes effect from the moment of signing. You have thirty seconds to consider: compensation or performance."

However, her rapid change of attitude only made Yan Lv even angrier. This is a typical case of acting impulsively and then immediately surrendering when feeling threatened, lacking any stance or integrity. In the business world, this type of person is one that must be avoided at all costs and should be treated with caution.

Well, the bill has already been settled. Thank you so much for that day. Please be sure to leave me a phone number this time; my second uncle said he wants to pay his respects in person

Wen Jiu quietly glanced at the slightly trembling hand on his shoulder, then looked at Mr. Yan. With such a shoulder embrace, are you sure they are lovers and not brothers

Mr. Yan took out a one-hundred-yuan bill from his wallet with a displeased expression and asked, "What did you order?"

Master Yan

Two elderly individuals with silver hair are sitting on the sofa, watching television

What particularly infuriated Yan was that Wen Jiu did not notice his dissatisfaction and anger at all; he did not even raise his eyelids and directly ordered, "Bring two more napkins."

The small hand held in the palm is delicate and smooth, and surprisingly warm. Many women have cold hands and feet in winter, so what Yan Lu dislikes the most is shaking hands with women in winter; it feels almost like touching a steel rod, making one want to shiver.

Yan Lu said to Wen Jiu: "Come with me." Then he said to Yu Qiang: "Keep an eye on Huan Huan." As he spoke, he opened the door and bent down to get out of the car

Wen Jiu felt puzzled in his heart. Yan Lu's dressing style leaned towards a simple and cool color palette, which was quite close to her taste. However, the two pieces of clothing he chose for her were so bright and vibrant, completely mismatched with his own style.

Yan Huan laughed heartily in the car, saying, "See, see, I told you it wasn't true." Then, ignoring Yan Lu's already frosty expression, she made a face in glee.

Yan Huan excitedly reported: "I ordered cola and a chicken leg burger"

Of course. While nodding, Wen Jiu found it strange that her brother had a girlfriend; as a younger sister, she shouldn't be this surprised.

Only after warming the wine did he realize that he was speaking to himself, and he smiled faintly: "Coke"

You think playing, the word "弄" below was forcefully swallowed back by Yan Lu, as saying the entire sentence would truly be too embarrassing and would compromise one's dignity

She believes that the latter possibility is greater, after all, he has already paid a deposit of 200,000, with a high daily salary of 100,000, it would not make sense to pay additional dressing fees

Yan Lu: "... ..."
