Chapter 358 Lu Wei didn't sleep much last night

Back at the villa, Wei Qianqian was already fast asleep.

Lu Min called her a few times, but she turned her head to the side and continued to sleep.

"Don't bother me..."

Lu Min unbuckled her seatbelt, picked her up through his suit jacket, and carried her inside.

The auntie in the kitchen, who was preparing breakfast, watched the two of them.

She thought the two of them were still sleeping upstairs, but she didn't expect them to not come back all night.

The aunt glanced at her again and only saw a section of Wei Qianqian's long legs and her sleeping head peeking out from under her suit jacket.

I wonder if she's wearing anything under her suit jacket, maybe...

Suddenly she had a flash of inspiration and hurriedly opened the refrigerator to prepare black chicken soup.

Lu Min carried her into the guest room, covered her with a blanket, and then took his coat out from under the blanket.

Wei Qianqian turned over and lay face down on the pillow.

Lu Min left the room and gently closed the door.

Achoo...

He couldn't help but sneeze again.

Wei Qianqian didn't get out of bed until after 4 p.m.

"As I get older, I can't stay up all night anymore..."

Wei Qianqian looked at her phone and saw Lu Min's post on WeChat Moments.

The picture was sent to him by Wei Qianqian this morning, without any caption.

Even the background of his WeChat profile picture was changed to this image, perfectly positioned in the center of the picture where he was about to hold her hand.

Wei Qianqian sipped her black chicken soup while admiring the old man's WeChat profile.

"She's quite good at putting on an act." Wei Qianqian pursed her lips.

I don't know what other photo to use; the entire page is filled with that same picture.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Min appeared beside Wei Qianqian. He had just gotten up, but his face showed signs of fatigue.

Wei Qianqian scrutinized it intently.

An old man is indeed an old man; he's already this weak after just one night without sleep...

That aspect...

I don't know if it's true or not...

She frowned, realizing that she might not be as sexually fulfilled as she had imagined.

"Are you staying there tonight?" Lu Min asked.

"No, I won't stay," Wei Qianqian replied.

Lu Min nodded and hummed in agreement.

The two didn't speak again. After finishing the black chicken soup, they went back to their respective rooms to pack up. Half an hour later, they appeared together in the car.

Lu Min was still driving.

However, it was easy to tell from his expression that he was exhausted.

As she started the car, she suddenly remembered, "I don't think I prepared a gift."

"I've prepared it," Lu Min replied calmly.

Wei Qianqian felt a little guilty, "That's different."

Since they are not married yet, the gifts should naturally be given separately.

Lu Min smiled and said, "I've prepared yours too, don't worry."

"..." The old man was indeed meticulous.

Wei Qianqian felt reassured.

The Lu family's old house is in the suburbs, a half-hour drive away. Wei Qianqian mentally considered all sorts of possibilities.

What should we do next?

Tonight is not only Grandpa Lu's birthday, but they will also take this opportunity to discuss Lu Min and her.

"Don't be nervous." Lu Min seemed to see right through her.

"How can I not be nervous...?"

"I've already told my family I won't be staying there tonight."

"That's not what I'm nervous about."

He chuckled, so she wasn't nervous living with him?

Wei Qianqian had a headache. "I can't fake it."

I can't fake that feeling of liking him a lot, and Lu Min doesn't seem very approachable to people.

He didn't even dare to hold hands.

Wei Qianqian was too embarrassed to take the initiative; whether he would shake her off was another matter entirely.

Lu Min looked at her and said, "Just stay with me, I can handle it."

"..." Wei Qianqian didn't trust Lu Min. "If someone asks, 'How did we get back together?', what will you say?"

When Wei Qianqian went to annul the engagement, it caused quite a stir in the Lu family.

Many people say that Wei Qianqian doesn't know what's good for her.

Lu Min: "It's normal for couples to argue and break up, so why are you always so concerned about this issue?"

She seems to have always cared about this.

Wei Qianqian glared at him.

He didn't care, but Wei Qianqian also had her pride.

If he had simply tried to persuade her to stay back then, Wei Qianqian wouldn't be holding a grudge like this now.

They all say it's all in the past, but even though time has faded the memory, it still feels like a thorn in Wei Qianqian's heart.

During the time she lived with Lu Min, she had cooperated well with him and the two of them treated each other with respect.

She doesn't have the acting skills to blatantly pretend to be in love in front of the public.

When they arrived, everyone was already seated, so when they walked in, everyone's eyes were on the two of them.

Lu Min put his arm around her shoulder, carrying the gift box in his other hand, and walked inside.

Wei Qianqian looked at the hand on her shoulder; its temperature was unusually high.

She looked up at him again. His face was red, as if he were shy, but his steps remained steady as ever.

Lu Min handed the gift box to the servant at the door and walked towards Old Master Lu.

Lu Min: "Grandpa, Grandma."

Wei Qianqian: "Hello, Grandpa. Hello, Grandma."

Grandma Lu greeted her with a kind smile: "Oh! You've come! Come and sit here with Grandma!"

Grandma Lu reached out her hand to Wei Qianqian.

Wei Qianqian glanced at Lu Min.

Lu Min patted her head. "Go ahead."

"Hmm." Wei Qianqian panicked.

She sat down and greeted Lu Min's parents, "Uncle, Aunt."

Lu Min's mother, Ruan Qingyun, smiled and nodded at her, showing that she was quite satisfied with Wei Qianqian.

Lu Min's father, Lu Jin, didn't show any expression.

The last time they met was when Wei Qianqian came here, stubbornly insisting on breaking off the engagement.

Today, Wei Qianqian has a rather demure and refined air about her.

She wore a well-fitting avocado green modern Chinese-style cheongsam, her hair held up with a hairpin, looking gentle and refined, showing no trace of the determination she had shown to break off the engagement even at the cost of her life.

What's even more surprising is that Lu Min was incredibly attentive to Wei Qianqian, completely unlike his previous composure when Wei Qianqian announced the annulment of the engagement.

Lu Min kept his gaze on Wei Qianqian, even though she was sitting right next to him.

Beside Lu Min were Wei Qianqian's father, Wei Junyi, and her mother, Huang Xi.

Wei Junyi frowned. "This girl has caused you trouble."

Lu Min reached out and took Wei Qianqian's hand, which was resting on her lap. He looked at her and then said to Wei Junyi, "Uncle, you flatter me. This is what I should do."

Wei Qianqian looked at his hands, then at him.

He didn't have this kind of courage on the mountain this morning, but now he's holding her hand in public.

Her hand froze for a moment.

Lu Min ran his fingertips along the back of her hand, feeling her tension and the cold sweat on her palm.

Wei Qianqian chatted with Grandma Lu, and Lu Min asked her from time to time what she wanted to eat.

Wei Qianqian's heart was in her throat.

Lu Min is such a good actor.

She had just come out after drinking black chicken soup and didn't have much of an appetite for anything else. Lu Min knew this, so he just picked out some of her favorite foods and didn't dare to ask for more.

Grandma Lu and Grandpa Lu went to another table to chat, and Wei Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief and pulled her hand back from his.

Huang Xi bypassed Lu Min and sat down in front of Wei Qianqian.

"How could you be late on such an important day?" she said, somewhat displeased.

Wei Qianqian was already annoyed enough, and when Huang Xi said that to her, she felt wronged.

She was late, but not on purpose. She thought Lu Min would wake her up early, but Lu Min was sleeping even more soundly than she was.

Hearing Huang Xi and Wei Qianqian's conversation, Lu Min leaned over and naturally placed his hand on her side.

"Auntie, this has nothing to do with Qianqian. She didn't sleep much last night, but she slept more today."

"..." Wei Qianqian glanced at him sideways.

He was close by, his arm around her waist, his chest almost pressed against her back.

What do you mean by not sleeping much last night? Isn't that just asking for trouble?

Huang Xi was speechless for a moment.

Lu Min actually spoke up for her.

Back then, Lu Min coldly watched Wei Qianqian annul the engagement, but in just one or two months, Lu Min's attitude towards Wei Qianqian seems to have changed quite a bit.
