Chapter 4, Living Together Day and Night

When Wen Jiu walked into the room, Yan Lu had already taken a seat behind the desk

Yan Lu knew how Zhou Yu died

As he stood across from him with a warm cup of wine, he remained silent, and an air of aloofness and pride subtly emerged, making Yan Lu feel as though a proctor was standing beside him

No, no, this little girl can be quite a handful, and I am fully aware of it. You should wash your face and take a rest, just treat it like your own home, don't feel constrained

As they reached the corner of the stairs, he released her, stepped in front of her, and said softly, "Come to my room for a moment"

This new agreement is indeed as detailed as a strand of hair

Wen Jiu was taken aback by the sudden request from her mother. She glanced sideways at Yan Lu, who was driving, and could only continue to feign indifference: "Mom, I don't have his photo on my phone"

Even the old master was startled, his gaze piercing as he looked over, somewhat astonished. This grandson had been raised in the palm of his hand, attended to by countless people since birth. From school to work, he was always surrounded by a group of people waiting to serve his every need.

Wen Jiu surveyed the spacious and bright room, feeling that the living conditions in the county town were truly excellent. Their own house, unlike those of developers who must consider profits, could be designed entirely based on personal preference and convenience. Each suite comes with an independent bathroom, which is large, bright, and well-ventilated

Just as I brought the purchased items to the kitchen, my mother's text message arrived again

Wen Jiu instinctively struggled with both arms, not expecting Yan Lu's strength to be so great. His two arms were like iron chains, firmly binding her upper body and encircling her in his embrace. His right hand crossed over her lower back and restrained her wrist.

Party B shall not ... ...

Wen Jiu pointed to the sofa in the room and said politely, "Alright, please take a seat"

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief

These few items are the hobbies of most elderly people. Upon hearing the warm wine, he felt assured and smiled as he said, "No problem"

Yan Lu stood beside the old man, silently preparing the ink and brush, his handsome face displaying an expression of defiance. The old and the young truly resembled a family in temperament.

Yan Lu turned around and went upstairs, took the car keys and his coat wallet, then drove with the warm wine to the largest supermarket in the county.

Mr. Yan's heart trembled with anger; he had kindly taken her luggage upstairs, yet she stood there motionless, watching him. At that moment, shouldn't she have rushed over to take the luggage from his hands and expressed her gratitude repeatedly?

This power left Wen Jiu somewhat astonished

The warm wine had been purchased, but Mr. Yan was nowhere to be found. After scanning the vicinity, no one was in sight, so I had no choice but to take out my phone

This is not acceptable, sister is a guest

Yan Lu disdainfully remarked, "Naive." He then picked up the military binoculars and looked towards the KFC across the street.

Call him down, dinner is ready

Wen Jiu could not help but secretly rejoice that she was not really his girlfriend; otherwise, facing such a scene on the first visit would indeed be a bit awkward... How sad.

Wen Jiu handed a plush toy to Yan Huan. She had just asked Yan Lu to wait, intending to buy a pack of sanitary napkins for future use, but after hesitating for a while while holding it in her hand, she felt that it would be rather awkward for Yan Lu to stand by during the checkout. Therefore, she decided to buy a toy for Huan Huan instead.

Party B must ... ...

Wen Jiu walked into his room without understanding. The furnishings here were similar to those in Wen Jiu's room, the only difference being the bedding. The plain bed sheets and duvet covers in light blue and dark blue matched each other, creating a very simple aesthetic

"Let's go, let's go, and take a stroll outside." Wen Jiu walked up to him and unexpectedly grabbed his arm

Party B must ... ...

The study door is open, and the old gentleman is arranging red paper for writing Spring Festival couplets at the desk, his brows slightly furrowed, still wearing a displeased expression.

Three minutes later, Yan Lu slowly made his way down the stairs

As soon as the words were spoken, Yan Lu's outstretched hand suddenly reached forward, both hands tucked into the pockets of the warm wine, and in a moment of surprise, he unexpectedly embraced him.

The elderly man proudly pointed to the southeast corner, saying, "That is the vegetable I planted. When it comes time to eat, make sure to taste it well; the flavor is definitely not the same as the vegetables bought in the supermarket"

Although the old gentleman remained silent and did not praise the calligraphy of the warm wine, the expression in his eyes was clearly one of concealed approval, as Yan Lu could discern at a glance

Wen Jiu felt a secret joy as she opened it, and indeed, it was all photos of Yan Lu. She had originally intended to take a picture of him with her phone, but instead found that all the photos were from his childhood, and there were basically none after he entered middle school

Yan Lu glanced at Wen Jiu and said, "Bring over the couplets."

Yan Lu's hand, which was picking up food, suddenly paused.

The two individuals walked towards the parking lot outside the supermarket. Naturally, it was Yan Lu who was carrying the items. When he paid, Wen Jiu had already left the checkout and was standing at the exit. Thus, Yan Lu took the initiative to carry the plastic bags and followed along.

You live downstairs, next to your grandparents.

She actually smiled so sweetly, it was simply... However, when the play reached a critical moment, Yan Lu had no choice but to continue patiently picking out the fish bones and then placed the fish meat onto Yan Huan's plate

This is a blatant challenge to his authority

It is quite amusing to see the handsome Mr. Yan turned into a handsome frog, as he gracefully walks down the stairs with a smile while holding warm wine

The old man does not believe it at all; how could he not see at a glance that this is a performance of "The Lost Sky Slash"? Just now, when I asked her if she could write couplets for the Spring Festival, she also said she could do a little, but her execution was extraordinary. This girl is truly hiding her talents. The old man has always favored humble and low-key individuals, so he found her much more pleasing to the eye as he looked at the warm wine.

It's nothing, Grandma, Yan Lu bought me several sets of clothes

"Good." Wen Jiu immediately got up and went upstairs

Grandma was so delighted that she couldn't stop smiling. She led me on a tour while holding warm wine, and then said: "Come, let's go downstairs to see your room"

Wen Jiu smiled and said: "Then I will write a couplet for the flower room on the third floor. If it is not well written, please don't laugh at me, Grandpa."

Yan Lu lowered her head to look at her: Are you asking me to face a pile of ultra-thin, strawberry-flavored, spiral particles

Upon arriving at the supermarket, Yan Lu was immediately filled with regret at the sight of the dense crowd and the noisy scene, realizing that he had acted impulsively in agreeing to Wen Jiu's request to go shopping. However, since he was already there, he had no choice but to brace himself and accompany Wen Jiu through the supermarket.

Party B shall not ... ...

This fellow truly likes you, and is even willing to pick fish bones for you; he himself is reluctant to eat fish, finding it troublesome

Only when grandmother began to speak did the atmosphere finally ease up

Wen Jiu raised his head, looking at Yan Lvjun's handsome yet aloof face, and smiled lightly, saying: "I have finished watching."

As I turned back with the warm wine, I discovered that Yan Lujun's face was solemn, and he was holding a fountain pen in his hand This is

Warming the wine and pushing the cart, Yan Lu walked leisurely beside her, having already made up his mind that this time he would not compromise

As she turned and walked down the stairs with the warm wine, she had just taken a few steps when the door behind her opened, and Yan Lu called out to her: "Come in for a moment."

Upon hearing this statement, Wen Jiu's expression became particularly cold and serious, and he replied earnestly: "Since Mr. Yan has offered a high salary, I will certainly do my utmost to work; please rest assured about this, Mr. Yan."

Holding Grandma's shoulder with a warm smile, I said: "Grandma, I want to show my filial piety, you have to give us a chance to demonstrate it."

Very good, very good, the age is quite suitable for Alu. Are they still in school or have they already started working

The old lady, delighted by the praise from Wen Jiu, couldn't help but smile broadly. She used the public chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish for Wen Jiu, saying, "Little Wen, you should try this; it is the cured fish I made myself."

Thank you, Grandma. "She picked up that piece of fish with the warm wine and suddenly placed it in Yan Lu's bowl, saying, 'Help me pick out the bones.'

Yan Lv took a moment to calm down and said in a deep voice: "I can cooperate with you, but I will not be at your beck and call"

Warming the wine, he smiled and said: "Grandma, you are truly wise; City X is one of the top twenty livable cities in the country"

When he returned to the study, he found that Wen Jiu was not admiring his proud work, but was instead holding a pair of scissors, cutting up the piece of paper he had just discarded. When unfolded, it turned out to be a character for 'blessing'.

Yan Lu stared blankly at his phone, wondering if he should notify her to come downstairs to collect her luggage

After lunch, I helped to clear the table while warming the wine

Your luggage Mr. Yan said with a slightly haughty tone, using only four words sparingly

Wen Jiu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the nearby park. At that moment, his phone rang in his pocket. He took it out and saw that it was Yan Lu.

It turned out not to be as he thought, and Yan Lu inexplicably became angry, decisively clicking delete

Is this her opinion

In the adjacent room, a crumpled piece of paper was thrown into the wastebasket by a trembling hand

The moment the message was sent, the phone rang immediately

The spring is warm, the wind is gentle, and the sun is bright; the year is abundant, the goods are plentiful, and the people are healthy

Yan Lu turned her face to look at her, arrogantly extending her hand, "Give me your phone."

In his senior year, in order to make Yu Qianqian give up, he decided to try dating Wei Rui, the campus beauty who had been pursuing him. As a result, on the seventh day of their relationship, Wei Rui sent him a text message asking for KFC breakfast, which he bought and delivered to the girls' dormitory.

Grandmother is a kind and gentle elder, relatively easy to please, but grandfather seems to have a bit of a temper. Therefore, Wen Jiu inquired about grandfather's preferences, intending to cater to his tastes

"It is somewhat."

This light-hearted tone only deepened Yan Lu's frustration; he was on the verge of being so infuriated that he might cough up blood, yet she acted as if nothing had happened, still able to smile radiantly.

Mr. Yan's character "Spring" has already reached the second horizontal stroke. At a glance, Wen Jiu was slightly taken aback, not expecting that the meticulous Mr. Yan could write such beautiful cursive script with a brush.

The old man looked at the warm wine in surprise, asking if Yan Lu was going to cook

Mr. Yan, with a subtle and elegant smile while holding a plastic bag in one hand and his other hand in his pocket, is just right in this moment

How old are you this year

Yan Lu rubbed his forehead with his index finger, took two deep breaths to calm his emotions, and then lowered his finger. He spoke slowly and arrogantly: "We are pretending, not real."

Yan Lu felt her body stiffen, and as she looked down at that delicate and fair hand, she found it almost hard to believe that she had taken the initiative this time

The old gentleman is just leisurely enjoying the show, how could he possibly turn against it

Sure. The old woman was eager for someone to see her results, so she immediately got up and took the warm wine upstairs

In the living room, Grandpa and Huanhuan are sitting on the sofa. Huanhuan is clamoring to change the channel to watch Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, while the old man looks quite troubled.

Yan Lu was relatively satisfied with this answer

Warmly smiling, I asked: "Grandma, can I go see it right now?"

"You should let me know where you are going." Wen Jiu looked at Yan Lu, her tone gentle yet carrying an undeniable weight.

Mr. Yan's expression of shame and anger must be quite striking

As I lowered my head to check the effect of the photo I had just taken while warming the wine, suddenly, the car made a sharp stop by the roadside

It is evident that the residual anger has not yet dissipated

Wen Jiu glanced at him and said, "Yes, are you going to let your grandmother do it? At her age, how can you be so shameless?"

The flower room is bright with sunshine, where fresh flowers and green leaves complement each other beautifully. Yan Lvq is tall and handsome, exuding a relaxed demeanor. A simple black cashmere sweater outlines his silhouette, making it both sensual and masculine.

The always self-assured Yan Lu, at this moment, could only feel a sense of astonishment. The characters of "Wen Jiu" are skillfully concealed and appropriately revealed, full-bodied and vigorous, free and powerful. If it were not for witnessing her wielding the brush with my own eyes, it would be truly difficult to discern that it was the work of a girl.

Please wait, please wait

Yan Lu raised his eyes to look at her: "Even the back view is not acceptable"

This means to continue the discussion? After closing the door and warming the wine, she walked to the desk, only to see Yan Lu take out the agreement again and solemnly hand it to her

How about taking a picture of Mr. Yan? Wen Jiu picked up his phone and pointed it out the window, murmuring to himself: "The snow scene in the park is truly beautiful"

After the incident, Wei Rui kept asking him for the reason

Lifting a stone only to drop it on one's own foot is truly painful

The phone on the table emitted a soft beep. Yan Lu picked it up and saw that it was a message from 9.

He took a breath, his expression somewhat strange: "Why did you steal | take a picture of me?"

Mr. Yan displayed an expression that seemed to reflect a mix of embarrassment and anger. She actually questioned him about never having had a girlfriend. How could this be possible? Since middle school, he had been pursued by countless girls, which had become quite bothersome.

With a warm smile, she said: "Mr. Yan, if you want your family to believe that we are in a romantic relationship, then please cooperate with me. If you are not satisfied with me, you may seek someone more capable, and I will return your deposit in full without any deductions"

This issue is quite critical. Yan Lu crossed his hands on the table, once again adopting a calm, serious, and meticulous demeanor typical of a negotiation table, intending to have a thorough discussion with her about this special situation

Wen Jiu returned triumphantly to the adjacent room, squeezed out some toothpaste, and began to brush his teeth

The retired senior officials from the Agricultural Research Institute are indeed exceptional

Three exclamation marks were sent over, and my head started to ache a bit from the warm wine, so I continued to play dead: "Mom, I really feel embarrassed"

A voice gently instructing me while warming the wine whispered in my ear: "If you have ever had a girlfriend, you should know that it is not about giving orders, but rather a manifestation of the man's consideration and affection for the woman. Mr. Yan, you will get used to it."

Isn't it handsome

Yan Luy stepped forward with long strides, quickly crossing a few steps to stand in front of her, lowering his head to stare at her, his sharp and cold eyes flashing with displeasure

Yan Lu was anxious; the old man was merely speaking casually, yet this girl actually took it seriously and agreed. Couplets are not something that can be casually written with a few crooked characters and stuck on the door.

Yan Lu ignored the astonishment of the two elderly individuals, released his grip on the warm wine, and instead placed his hand on her shoulder, gently pulling her into his embrace. This posture was even more intimate and ambiguous

You see, many things, once done for the first time, will naturally follow for the second time. Although Mr. Yan's foundation is lacking, there is still a significant amount of room for adjustment and teaching.

Everyone has gone abroad to travel together, would you feel embarrassed to take a photo? Stop talking nonsense and quickly show the photo to mom!

Wen Jiu felt a bit at a loss as his mother pressed him relentlessly, and after a long pause, he finally replied, "How could I possibly?"

Wen Jiu smiled as he sat on the left and right of the old man with Yan Huan

I have been working for three years, Grandma

Before long, grandmother brought a thick photo album from the study

Yan Lu went down to the second floor, directly closed the door, and began drafting a new agreement

Grandmother is quite happy, feeling that Wen Jiu is a thoughtful girl, and even remembers Huan Huan after a trip to the supermarket

Nowadays, it is common for people to purchase Spring Festival couplets, while those who write them are quite rare. Mr. Yan, who is rather particular, actually wants to write Spring Festival couplets. Wen Jiu finds this particularly curious and interesting, so he takes Yan Huan downstairs, intending to admire Mr. Yan's calligraphy.

Yan Qingyu is speaking with the elder: "Uncle, let me finish preparing the New Year's Eve dinner before I leave. Auntie is getting older, and cooking for the whole family will tire her out."

Yan Lu put down his pen and casually glanced at the warm wine standing opposite him. The red plum blossoms in the bottle were perfectly blooming right before her eyes, her snow-like skin as white as jade, her brows and eyes like a painting, truly a vivid scene of a beautiful face and red plum blossoms complementing each other.

Wen Mingyue's personality is such that she is decisive and wise. She possesses outstanding beauty, but due to her naturally cool demeanor and independence, she appears to be an exceptionally aloof and hard-to-pursue beauty. As a result, although many secretly admire her, very few men dare to pursue her. Therefore, while Wen Mingyue does not urge her daughter verbally, she feels a subtle anxiety in her heart seeing that her daughter is already 25 years old and still has no boyfriend. Now, finally, a man has caught her daughter's eye and is willing to travel abroad with her. Wen Mingyue's curiosity and excitement are naturally difficult to express, and she is very eager to see what kind of man he is.

Wen Jiu smiled and said: "Grandma, are you complimenting me on my small features?"

The old man stared in astonishment, wondering if the sun had risen from the west. This young man, who himself disliked the trouble of eating fish, actually took the time to remove the fish bones for this girl

Is she still planning to give him a tip? Ugh, who is the boss here, anyway

That's good. "Wen Jiu smiled and said, 'Look at this clause, Party B shall not instruct Party A to do anything. So may I ask Mr. Yan, is there any need for such a boyfriend to exist? A man who does nothing should be thrown into the trash bin sooner rather than later, should we keep him for the New Year? Do you think this is finding a boyfriend? This is finding a master? Or is it seeking abuse?"

Grandma asked with a smile, "Good child, what are the two characters of your name?"

He took out his mobile phone and began browsing financial news to pass the time

Wen Jiu smiled gently as she tilted her head to look at him: "I really envy Huan Huan for having such a big brother like you. I only have a younger brother, and I have been protecting him since we were little."

Yan Lu understands the old gentleman's temperament very well. When it comes to these aspects of traditional Chinese culture, he is so particular that it can drive one to exasperation. If the warm wine is not well presented, it will not only fail to showcase oneself but will also further diminish the old man's impression of the warm wine.

Wen Jiu elegantly shook a piece of A4 paper: "Party B may actively engage in physical contact with Party A under specific circumstances. May I ask, what are the specific circumstances?"

The old gentleman paused for a moment, looking at the warm wine: "Do you understand opera?"

The old gentleman said: "Let me take a look at it."

Old Master Yan, however, did not exhibit the same warmth as Grandma. He cast a faint glance at Wen Jiu and then said to Yan Lu, "Come in for a moment, I have something to ask you." With that, he rose and walked into the study across from the staircase

After getting into the car, Wen Jiu took out his phone to check the time and then sent a text message to his mother. Since he had informed her that he was going to Thailand, he decided to report his safety in a proper manner according to the local direct flight schedule to Thailand.

Yan Lu said slowly: "Grandma, haven't you been urging me to get married every day? Why is it that when I bring my girlfriend home, you suddenly fall silent?"

I live with my sister

He is upstairs

Thank you. She smiled gently while warming the wine and casually picked up a piece to place in his bowl: "Pick out some fish bones for Huanhuan as well."

Writing and pasting Spring Festival couplets is an annual task for Yan Lu. As he opens the door, he stands on the steps outside the courtyard, and from the corner of his eye, he catches sight of Wen Jiu standing beside him, holding the couplets with both hands like a little maidservant attending to him, which fills his heart with immense comfort

Good

Gazing sideways at the still wine, Yan Lu, whose heart was being swept by a tempest, smiled faintly and said, "Hurry up."

What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and send it to me to take a look.

I believe it would be better to sign the agreement again

The elderly person led Yan Huan down the stairs

The distance between the two people was so close that they were almost pressed against each other, close enough to be within arm's reach. Every single eyelash of hers was clearly visible, and her serene and tranquil eyes seemed like vast whirlpools, instantly capturing his gaze, drawing it down little by little into an unfathomable depth.

The grandmother increasingly felt that this girl was charming; she was articulate and capable, and her appearance and demeanor were beyond reproach

Yan Lu picked up a piece of paper from the desk and handed it to Wen Jiu, stating seriously: "I believe there are many aspects of the previous agreement that are not quite suitable, so I have drafted a new one."

"Hand me the phone quickly!" His tone darkened, carrying a strong sense of threat, with his furrowed brows and piercing gaze exuding an aura of authority without anger

The car was restarted, and soon they arrived home. Yan Lu took the key to open the front door and went straight upstairs, seemingly in a rather unhappy mood

Mr. Yan, feeling completely at ease as he affixed the Spring Festival couplets, suddenly heard the beautiful "little maid" softly say in a pleasant voice, "Being tall is truly wonderful"

Putting up Spring Festival couplets and changing light bulbs can be done without standing on a stool

Mr. Yan held the Spring Festival couplets in his hand, looking down at the warm wine with a sense of frustration: "Bring over a stool."

What are you doing? Wen Jiu felt a bit nervous and somewhat awkward; he couldn't have discovered that he was being secretly photographed.

I was just taking pictures for fun

Grandma, I just turned 25 last month

The elderly gentleman and lady have already taken their seats in the dining room with Huan Huan. Yan Qingyu is setting the table with bowls and chopsticks, while Wen Jiu is assisting nearby

Whose home is this, and who is the owner

Yan Lünong raised an eyebrow, questioning, "Is there a problem?" With such a bold statement, where does her confidence come from? Just as I was about to ask her, the door swung open, and Yan Huan poked his head in, saying, "Brother, Grandpa wants you to come down and write the Spring Festival couplets"

The small 9 on the phone kept jumping, seemingly continuing to call without answering. Yan Lu helplessly picked up the phone

Yan Lu followed his grandfather into the room, and as he turned to close the door, he cast a worried glance at the warm wine

Wen Jiu walked over and gently touched her little braid: "Huan Huan, 'The Lost Sky Slash' is much more interesting than 'Gray Wolf', let's watch it together"

Wen Jiu smiled apologetically and said, "I only know a little."

Wen Jiu's face suddenly flushed, but he did not admit it, saying, "Who is stealing? I am taking pictures of the snow scene."

Yan Lu felt his body tilt and took a step down

He opened it carelessly, only to feel as if he had encountered a bomb, with the capillaries on his face instantly collapsing.

He smiled as he warmed the wine and called out "Grandfather"

The study of the elder is exceedingly spacious, with nearly an entire wall converted into a bookshelf, where the books are arranged neatly and meticulously, reflecting the character of a meticulous and serious old man. Wen Jiu only knows that his grandmother is a retired employee from the Agricultural Research Institute, but he is unaware of the elder's previous position before retirement; however, his demeanor resembles that of a cadre.

Wei Rui finally endured hardships and achieved sweet rewards by winning over Yan Lü. She couldn't help but want to show off, letting everyone see that the most aloof, hardest to pursue, and most handsome man in the entire school brought her breakfast

With a warm smile, she held her phone and took a certain photo, which turned out to be quite clear

Yan Lu and others had been waiting for this moment for a long time. He immediately reached out to take Wen Jiu's hand, gripping it tightly, and then they walked upstairs

Wen Jiu hung up the phone, her palms slightly sweating from the tension. She knew her mother's personality all too well; if she didn't send a photo over to appease her, her mother would definitely continue calling, even questioning whether she had actually gone to Thailand.

With a reverse peak stroke, the brush was lifted, moved, and then retracted with a backstroke. As the first character was written, Yan Lu felt a sudden shock, and the old man also changed his expression slightly

Let me help you, Grandma

When the warm wine was brought over, I realized that I had truly overestimated Mr. Yan's conscience; this new agreement is surprisingly more fastidious

After the nanny and Yan Qingyu left, Wen Jiu went to the kitchen to take a look at the ingredients and vegetables, and had a rough idea of what to prepare for dinner. He then took out his phone and dialed Yan Lu's number.

Yan Lv held the car keys and took two deep breaths... Then he was astonished to find that he quickly calmed down. You see, human adaptability is indeed remarkable; he surprisingly became accustomed to being so infuriated by her that it caused him internal injury, and then silently entered a state of healing.

In the flower room on the third floor, Yan Lu sat in a rattan chair with his back to the door, a laptop and a teapot placed on the table

The elderly lady was so astonished just now that she did not catch the name of the warm wine clearly

When she received this text message, Yan Lu thought she had misread it and handed her phone to her roommate, Ji Lan

Wen Jiu leisurely enjoyed the hidden expression of shame and anger beneath Yan Lu's fury, and the crescent smile on his face only served to infuriate Yan Lu further

Judo emphasizes the technique of using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds. With her guard down, she lost the initiative while warming the wine, and her hands were trapped in her pockets, confined by the tall Yan Lu, unable to move. Pressed against his body, she could almost feel his taut muscles and the immense power that was ready to burst forth.

Warm wine is naturally praised without reservation. It is not insincere, but rather heartfelt. The vegetables grown at home are indeed much tastier than those from the supermarket; that natural flavor is something that Warm Wine truly enjoys

Yan Luyang raised his arm and waved to her, the gesture of lifting his arm and sweeping it was even more charming and handsome, making one's heart flutter

Grandmother stopped her and said: "You are a guest, do not dirty your clothes. Xiaomei will take care of it." As she spoke, she turned to Yan Lu and said: "You take Xiao Wen upstairs to rest."

Yan Lu picked up his brush and wrote in one go, a faint fragrance of ink wafting through the air as he moved the brush

However, before he could speak, Wen Jiu raised an eyebrow and smiled charmingly: "Is it the case that when Party A is particularly deserving of a beating, Party B can take action?"

Yan Lu: "... ..."

Yan Luyi casually lifted his clothes and sat down on the sofa. To assert that he was the master of this place, he deliberately adopted a relaxed and lazy posture, leaning back on the sofa and crossing his legs.

The rapid-fire barrage of blows seemed to strike him right between the eyebrows, causing a throbbing pain. This woman is quite eloquent and persuasive.

In front of the elderly gentleman and lady, Yan Lu naturally did not dare to continue wearing a sour face, lest the two elders perceive his discontent. Therefore, he tidied up his frustrated feelings and sat amicably and intimately beside Wen Jiu.

In the corner of the table, a plum vase holds branches of plum blossoms brought in from outside, their twisted branches graceful, and the fragrance of the flowers wafts through the air. In the center of the desk, a piece of Wan Nian Hong rice paper with gold embellishments is already spread out, pressed under a paperweight. The background features a pattern of dragons and phoenixes presenting auspiciousness, resplendent in red and gold, creating an exceptionally festive atmosphere

As soon as the call was connected, a clear and brisk voice came from the other end, saying: "Hand him the phone, I want to say a few words to him."

"Give me the phone." Yan Lu unexpectedly grasped Wen Jiu's wrist. Wen Jiu immediately countered by twisting her hand, but she did not anticipate that Yan Lu was even quicker; with a gentle twist of her thumb, the phone was in his hand.

Yanhua said: "Grandma, where do I live?"

Wen Jiu sat opposite him, his gaze involuntarily falling on his legs

"Who wants to see the scenery? I want to see that boy's photo. Take a picture and send it to Mom, so she can see what he looks like."

Yanyu, Grandma is calling you downstairs for dinner

Yan Lu, please come downstairs for a moment

Did you just find out?

Since Wen Jiu is not truly Yan Lu's girlfriend, she is not at all upset by the old man's unwelcoming attitude. On the contrary, she finds it somewhat... satisfying to think that the proud, aloof, and particular Mr. Yan has also been subjected to someone slamming the table at him.

He finally had a moment of conscience and felt that the contract was overly meticulous, so he revised it to a more standard version

After a moment of contemplation while warming the wine, he paused and said with a serious expression: "Mr. Yan's penmanship is very beautiful."

The old lady immediately felt that she had found a kindred spirit and happily said: "Isn't that so? What is so good about big cities? The air pollution is severe, and there is traffic congestion everywhere. I live in the Qingcheng Mansion, and it takes me three hours to drive back and forth just to buy groceries, which is quite troublesome. Later, you should come up to the third floor to take a look at my vegetable garden and flower room"

Yan Lu saw Wen Jiu enter, slightly raising his eyebrows, feeling a mix of surprise and a hint of pride, thinking to himself that she had come to watch him write, and she should prepare to be amazed.

In a little while, Xiaomei and Qingyu will return home to celebrate the New Year. The New Year goods have all been prepared for them, and they will also pick some fresh vegetables to take back with them.

Yan Lu leisurely spread out the rice paper, his strikingly thick eyebrows slightly furrowed. As he positioned his wrist to hold the brush, an air of refined elegance and scholarly grace naturally emanated from him, exuding a handsome and cultured demeanor

Yan Lv was somewhat speechless with anger

Party B shall not give any nickname to Party A

With a calm demeanor, pretending not to know, she smiled gently and said, "Let us go out and buy something."

She is conversing with the elderly man, her delicate face showing not a trace of tension or discomfort, a gentle smile gracing her features, her eyes and brows curved, exuding an air of cleverness and charm

Yan Lu walked to the table, raised her eyes to him with a smile, as if the earlier confrontation in the room had never occurred

He stood at the last step of the staircase with his hands in his pockets, wearing a stern expression as he asked: "What is it?"

"Yes, we are pretending. However, if you treat your girlfriend like a boss or a master, how can you make your grandparents believe that the person you brought back is your girlfriend and not an employee or a maid? Even acting requires a certain level of authenticity, don't you agree, Mr. Yan?"

She walked over and asked, "Why aren't you waiting for me there?"

How many surprising abilities do these hands still possess

Yan Lu, with one arm around her, took her phone from her pocket, deleted the full-moon nude photo, and then placed the phone back into her pocket. As he lowered his head, he met Wen Jiu's gaze directly.

This name is quite unique The old man felt a tingling in his palm and a stirring in his heart He quite liked this open and generous young woman who was not shy in front of others as if they were born to be family

The old man looked at his writing, and only then did his displeased brows finally relax as he murmured in a low voice: "At least it hasn't been wasted."

Grandmother picked the vegetables, packed them into two eco-friendly bags, and went downstairs with the warm wine

This is correct

Wen Jiu handed the couplet he had written to Mr. Yan. After affixing it to both sides of the door frame, Mr. Yan realized that even with his arms outstretched, he still could not reach the top of the door frame. The door of the flower room on the third floor was both wide and tall.

He took a deep breath and reminded himself once again that a small tolerance can prevent great chaos, and that once the bow is drawn, there is no turning back. He must perform this act well and come to an understanding of the matter that has troubled him for nearly ten years

"Mr. Yan, let's go downstairs for a meal, Grandma is waiting." Wen Jiu cast a glance at him with a look that seemed to say, "Just wash up and go to sleep," and then gracefully exited the room

A faint and delicate fragrance wafted over, and it was hard to tell whether it was the scent of plum blossoms or the fragrance from her body, both of which were so pleasant that they stirred one's spirit. Yan Lu, momentarily distracted, inadvertently added an extra stroke to the character "江" he was writing, transforming "春江" into "春汪".

Wen Jiu stepped forward and asked, "Grandma, what are you busy with?"

When has he ever been seen serving others? I never expected that this little girl would dare to command him.

Mr. Yan immediately pushed the cart and left

The warm wine evokes a subtle sense of astonishment, and after sending a message, she gracefully places her phone into her pocket

Yan Lu raised an eyebrow and asked, "What is your opinion?"

Because the vegetables on the dining table are almost all personally grown by the elderly lady, she warmly invites everyone to taste the warmed wine

It is truly regrettable to warm the wine. "Mr. Yan, could you do me a favor? My mother just wants to see who I am going out with. Could you send me a photo, just a side view would be fine."

However, the words had already left the mouth after the warm wine was served; at this moment, it was too late for him to stop it, and he could only watch helplessly as the warm wine picked up the brush

Walking over with a warm smile, "Third Aunt, Yan Lu and I will prepare dinner. I won't let Grandma lift a finger, so you can rest assured."

Looking at the new agreement he had hastily written for more than half a page on the table, and then glancing at the graceful figure at the stairway, Yan Lu could only put the new agreement into the drawer and descend the stairs with a solemn expression

Wen Jiu had originally extended a hand to assist him, but seeing his quick reaction and that he was unharmed, he withdrew his hand and placed it back into his pocket

Is your younger brother not dead from anger caused by you

I did not expect Yan Lu to reply, "Where are you going? You should inform me as well." He even added the word "more," and he emphasized it heavily.

She actually ordered him around again! After reading the new agreement, she still ordered him around. She even openly ordered him around in front of the old man and the old lady.

Yes. Do you want to see what he looked like when he was a child

This girl indeed suits his temperament, but unfortunately, Yu Qianqian... The old man unconsciously let out a sigh.

The call was connected, and Yan Lvd said: "I am at the cash register, you can come over."

Yan Lu had no choice but to endure the discomfort and remove the fishbone, then placed the fish meat back into the bowl of warm wine

Yan Lu: "... ..."

The warm wine was dipped in ink, and instead of immediately putting pen to paper, there was a slight pause before the brush finally touched the rice paper.

Just thinking about Yan Lu's expression nearly caused Wen Jiu to choke on the toothpaste foam while laughing

The three of them arrived on the second floor. The doors of several bedrooms were open, clearly prepared for the Yan siblings. The elderly man pointed to one of the bedrooms and said, "Xiao Wen, you can stay in this room."

She actually looked at him with a gaze that seemed to say, "You can just put it down," as if she were addressing a hotel waiter

Yan Lu cast a sidelong glance at her, his gaze deepening: "Are you mocking me?"

Yan Lu pointed to the door, indicating for Wen Jiu to close it

Let's talk after eating.

Yan Huan is simply a little overwhelmed and flattered, "Thank you, brother, you are really kind."

The old lady said with a smile, "Isn't it true that she looks like a student, so fresh and tender."

Ha, he's really lucky.

But the problem is, she actually involved him! He planned to clearly tell her after settling the bill that he cannot cook and has never set foot in a kitchen, and that any attempt to bully or enslave him under the pretense of this should stop right there

Carrying a woman's bag is, in Wen Jiu's eyes, a relatively pleasing image of a man. Mr. Yan is not only exceptionally handsome but also possesses a remarkably elegant figure, thus even when carrying luggage, he appears particularly dashing

Wenjiu's purchases basically belong to the fields that Mr. Yan has never ventured into, such as steamed fish with soy sauce, good ginger, fragrant leaves, nutmeg, and so on.

As Wen Jiu reached the stairway, he heard a loud clap from the study, which seemed to be the sound of someone slapping the table. Clearly, it was the old man making the noise, not Yan Lu. It seems that his "girlfriend" is indeed quite unpopular

Yan Lv turned his head and looked at the warm wine with his hands in his pockets. He blurted out, "I almost fell just now. Didn't you think to help me?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Jiu's clear and bright eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and she raised her gaze to smile at Yan Lu.

Unconsciously, I looked at him several times while warming up the wine, and then my gaze fell on the paper.

Grandma came out of the kitchen and saw Wenju and Yanhuan sitting on the sofa. She smiled and asked, "Where is Alu?"

The old man raised his eyes to look at the warm wine, barely squeezed out a smile, which could be considered as a greeting.

Yan Lu looked at her and fell silent again

The three friends of pine, bamboo, and plum endure the cold of the year, while the peach, plum, and apricot blossom with the spring breeze as one family.

The house has everything, no need to buy. He turned around and was about to go upstairs.

Yan Lu's expression was serious and earnest, exuding an air of authority at the negotiation table, with a sharp and haughty gaze

It seems that my mother won't give up until she sees a real person's photo. Wenjiu was planning to find a handsome guy's photo online to fool her mother, but suddenly saw her grandmother, and her heart brightened: I've got it.

Two minutes later, Wei Rui received a text message from Yan Lu stating that the two of them were not suitable to be together

Fishing, gardening, playing chess, reading books

Wen Jiu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter"

Grandma, do we have any photos of Yan Lu at home?

Indeed, a man in his seventies ascends three flights of stairs without any effort at all

Indeed, acting is not wrong, but why should he play the role of "the subordinate" while she plays "the queen"

The meal was prepared together by the nanny Sun Mei and Yan Qingyu, consisting of eight dishes and two soups, with a balanced mix of meat and vegetables, looking very delicious.

I am not doing anything, just let him send me a photo to take a look, and by the way, I would like to hear what his voice is like

Both of them went up to the third floor.

Huan Huan clamored, "I want to write too, Grandpa"

Yan Lu's room is adjacent to hers, the door is tightly closed, and it is quiet inside. She gently knocked twice.

Warm wine. I didn't expect my mother to ask me to take photos, so I replied with a perfunctory message: "Mom, I just arrived at the hotel and haven't gone to any tourist attractions."

Wen Jiu received the new agreement but did not even glance at it; instead, he looked at Yan Lu and smiled leisurely.

Warming the wine and smiling without speaking, it seems that in the future, I must often have Mr. Yan pick out the fish bones

Yan Lu was feeling utterly bored and casually glanced around, only to discover that diagonally opposite was a sea of sanitary napkins

No, no, please do not get your clothes dirty

Go buy something to cook for dinner. Xiao Mei and San Gu have gone home. We will cook the New Year's Eve dinner together.

Yan Huan jumped up happily: "Thank you, sister, you are truly wonderful"

Wen Mingyue immediately replied: "Send a photo over for me to take a look."

There is no need for him to say this; Wen Jiu had already made such plans, after all, he pays a high salary of 100,000 per day. Although she became his hired girlfriend by accident, causing a bit of a mix-up, she is still being compensated for her services. With such a high salary, if she does not put in her utmost effort, it would indeed be somewhat guilty

Wen Jiu scrutinized him and said, "Mr. Yan, forgive my boldness, but have you never had a girlfriend?"

Yan Lu paused in his steps, staring incredulously at Wen Jiu: "Are you saying I will cook with you?"

"Wait a moment, wait a moment." The old man, holding Huanhuan, saw Wen Jiu standing calmly at the side, and casually asked, "Can you write?"

She exuded a faint fragrance, reminiscent of plum and orchid, serene and elegant. Yan Lü seemed to be entranced by some force, lowering his head to gaze at the delicate face before him, his clear and angry eyes suddenly becoming somewhat hazy and dim.

Two minutes later, Mr. Yan appeared at the door of the room with a small wheeled suitcase of warm wine in his left hand and three large paper bags in his right hand

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the errands and chores along the way were not in vain. It seemed that dealing with the old lady was more than manageable for her

Because it was New Year's Eve, the checkout lines in the supermarket formed long queues. One of the things that Yan Lu disliked the most in his life was waiting in line. The noisy supermarket and the crowded, clamorous people made him feel excruciatingly tormented every minute, deeply regretting that he should not have acted impulsively, being misled by a moment of "initiative" from Wen Jiu.

Smiling and shaking his head while warming the wine: "Grandfather, I don't quite understand."

Yan Lu pulled out this discarded spring couplet, took out a piece of paper, and rewrote a new one with full concentration. He felt that it had reached the perfect state, then he put it on the desk to dry and went out to find glue.

The second party shall not instruct the first party to do anything.

OK, the great work is accomplished.

Extending the hand concisely and clearly: "Give me the phone."

Wen Jiu replied with a smile, saying it was good

Okay, Huān Huān, write the character "spring", and let's paste it on the plum tree in the yard. After seeing the calligraphy of the warm wine, the old man's face became much kinder than before, and he finally stopped looking stern.

Wen Jiudao: "Please help me bring it up."

It seems that she is truly planning to prepare a splendid New Year's Eve dinner this year. Yan Lu has no objections to this action; naturally, he is eager to gain the approval of his grandparents.

Yan Huanyueyue eagerly exclaimed, "Grandpa, let me write too. I can write the character 'spring'."

Yan Lu said coldly: "Take a look at your snow scene"

Yan Lv suppressed the small flame in his heart and smiled at her

Of course

Looking from Yan Lu's perspective, I only saw a side profile of her with a drooping face, a straight and delicate nose, a perfectly curved chin, and a contour as elegant as a plum blossom.

Yan Lv gently touched her little braid and sighed

Arriving at the cleaning area, Wenjiu stopped and said, "You watch the car, wait for me here." After speaking, he walked behind the shelves.

Well then, I will reluctantly accompany her to the supermarket for a while

As I walked over with the warm wine, I immediately spotted Yan Lu. He was the kind of person who stood out in a crowd, with a tall and handsome figure, a noble and aloof face, and an extraordinary demeanor that was truly eye-catching

Wen Jiu was momentarily taken aback; how did this action of his carry the essence of a grappling technique?

Yan Lv suppressed the flames in his heart, put down his luggage, then closed the door with a backhand and inserted his hands into his pockets. He looked at Wen Jiu with a cold, proud, and serious expression and said, "I need to talk to you."

"Mom, what do you want to do?" Hearing my mother's request, I almost dropped my phone in shock.

Warming the wine, she smiled as she took the old man's palm, writing her name in the center of it, her movements very natural and affectionate

There is a long queue inside

However, Wen Jiu was not swayed by Mr. Yan's beauty this time; this bad habit of disappearing without a trace must be corrected

Huan Huan held a pen and wrote a large character for 'Spring'. Naturally, the writing of a child who has just started kindergarten would not be very beautiful. The old man insincerely praised her and took her out of the study, leaving Yan Lu to continue writing the second couplet for Spring.

Grandma laughed: "Really? This kid has finally come to his senses and knows how to win a girl's heart. You have no idea, this child is just like his grandfather, with a particularly strong sense of male superiority, acting like a big lord at home"

Her delicate brows and eyes still bore an expression of calmness, yet such beautiful calligraphy did not elicit any surprise or admiration from her. What is the meaning of this expression resembling a facial paralysis? Mr. Yan slightly furrowed his brows, disappointed, and took another piece of gilded rice paper, pressing it down with a paperweight.

Yan Lu put his hand into his pocket and said: "Go upstairs"

Having already brought them into the house, how can one seek further expertise? Do you think this is like shopping on Taobao, where you can return or exchange items unconditionally within seven days if they are not suitable?

Mr. Yan, are you sure that we are now pretending to be in a romantic relationship?

Yan Lu deeply felt that the outward appearance of women is the most deceptive; a seemingly elegant and lovely little flower can be a master of killing invisibly, making you so furious that you feel like spitting blood without any apparent provocation

He stood up quickly, picked up his phone, and was about to go downstairs. However, just as he got up, he discovered that Wen Jiu had already reached the third floor, standing at the entrance of the flower room with his arms crossed, smiling at him.

Because it was to be affixed to the door of the flower house, Wen Jiu chose a couplet like this. When she finished the last stroke of the character "home," her penmanship was truly elegant and unrestrained, exceptionally beautiful. It was like a play reaching its climax, suddenly pausing, leaving only the lingering sound in the air

Yan Lu stepped on it, affixing the horizontal inscription properly. The upper right corner of the right couplet was slightly misaligned, with a small corner lifting up. He turned sideways to smooth it out, but as a result of this movement, the stool nearly tipped over under his foot

Wen Jiukan kan ta, bu jin bu man dao: "Ni bushi shuo, zai danlu xiangchu shi, yi fang bu neng zhudong he jia fang you renhe zhitijiechu ma?"

Twenty minutes later, he and Wenju finally made it to the front of the cash register. At the moment of paying, Yan Lu felt completely relieved and liberated.

Yan Lv uttered a sound of agreement, straightened his clothes, and went downstairs.

The gazes of the two elderly individuals then focused once again on the shoulder of the warm wine.

The car stopped at the square outside the door, and Yan Lu casually asked, "What do you want to buy?"

The old man nodded nonchalantly.

Why should he, who earns a daily salary of 100,000, still have to be bossed around as a "junior" by her? Ha, this is just too ridiculous!

Grandma also thinks this is simply impossible, and she says with a smile, "You don't have to do it, Grandma will do it."

Oh, please have a seat. Grandma quickly realized and hurriedly smiled, inviting to warm the wine. Come, come, sit here with Grandma. This child, Alu, is really tight-lipped. He quietly brought a girlfriend back, which startled us.

Yan Lu saw the number 9 flashing on his phone and didn't answer.

Ji Lan began to ramble on, saying that having a girlfriend should be like this: to serve and be devoted, to be sincere and heartfelt, and to understand how to design romance. For example, last night he released sky lanterns for his girlfriend on the playground, with the words: The stars all know I love you

Just get used to it! Yan Lu is completely speechless

Take a photo now, hurry!

His response is: The breakfast at KFC is too expensive

A pair of legs that looks so handsome even when propped up

Yan Lu switched his phone to his left hand, while his right hand held a glass of warm wine. ... He opened the photo album and indeed found that someone had secretly taken photos of himself. For a moment, his heart was filled with mixed emotions.

A muffled voice came from inside: "Understood"

He turned around, and as he twisted his face, he discovered something even more terrifying behind him: it was filled with Durex, Jissbon, and Sixth Sense...

After warming the wine and brushing my teeth, I noticed the bright afternoon sunshine and went up to the third-floor flower room, intending to enjoy the flowers and bask in the sun. To my surprise, my grandmother was also there. The elderly lady was bent over, busily tending to the vegetable garden.

However, the previous ones are also good.

He raised his hand to support his temple and began to take deep breaths. The watertight prepared remarks were completely annihilated by her words, leaving no trace behind.

Smiling apologetically while warming the wine, he explained, "You see, when you and I came to City X, I told my mom that we were going to Thailand for a trip with friends. Now my mom wants to see the photos of the friends who traveled with me. So, um..."

Grandma acted as if she hadn't heard any movement in the room, calmly leading Yan Huan upstairs, and reached out to support Grandma's arm while pouring warm wine.

Yan Lu's brows furrowed, and on his handsome face was an expression of wanting to speak but restraining his anger.

Drinking warm wine in the snow makes one clever. Immediately, he guessed that Yan Lv was hinting at his secret actions of buying clothes for him, and he smiled: "That was an exception. It won't happen again."

Yes.

Mr. Yan's hand elegantly and proudly glided over the couplet.

Warm the wine and hold your arms, looking at him with an appreciative gaze, but without any intention of taking what he has in his hands.

Mr. Yan lifted his eyelids and glanced at Wen Jiu, noticing a fleeting smile at the corner of her pink lips

Huan Huan curiously asked, "What is Shikong Zhan?"

Yan Lv took his hands out of his pockets, crossed his fingers and put them on his knees, looked arrogantly at Wen Jiu, and said in a bossy tone, "I hope that within these seven days, you can gain the maximum approval from my grandparents."

Wen Jiu sat beside Yan Huan, quietly recounting this farce to her. The old man was fixated on the television, yet he kept his ears attuned to Wen Jiu's words.

Upon ascending to the third floor, Wen Jiu felt as if he had arrived at a flower market in the south. The entire third floor was transformed into a glass greenhouse, with light yellow pine wood crafted into flower racks of varying heights, adorned with a variety of flowers and plants. The sunlight was dazzling, and the lush greenery and blooming flowers created a warm, spring-like atmosphere. Among the flower racks were wicker chairs and tea tables, making it a truly delightful place.

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

Wen Jiu went to the flower room and brought back a pine bench.

Wenjiu found that the old lady spoke very standard Mandarin, which was different from the dialect spoken by Yan Qingyu. Upon inquiry, it was revealed that the grandmother had returned to her hometown after retiring from the Provincial Agricultural Academy.

Fortunately, her posture when holding the pen is quite decent.

Raise the phone and quietly aim it at Mr. Yan's handsome profile

The elderly man smiled and said, "There is no need to support me, I am in good health."

Indeed, they are making a joke of him, humph

Warming the wine, I conceded to my mother, covering my phone and speaking softly: "Alright, alright, please wait a moment, I will send you a photo, goodbye"

However, Wen Jiu has always been bold; she is not afraid of Mr. Yan's intimidation at all. Instead, she smiles gently and says, "If you send me a photo, how about I delete that one?"

She is deliberately provoking, isn't she! Intentionally expressing contempt and dissatisfaction towards the new agreement, isn't that right!

"Wait a moment, Grandma will bring it to you"

She truly is a reckless girl. Mr. Yan is prepared; if she dares to raise her pen in the manner of holding a steel pen, he will immediately stop her from making a fool of herself

Her nonchalant attitude, as if she were an outsider while sipping her wine, left him inexplicably angry; she seemed completely unconcerned about him
