Chapter 325 Showing Affection

Lu Yuwu held the agreement, feeling her palms burning hot.

She looked at the genuine tenderness and protectiveness in Madam Fu's eyes, and then at Fu Yan.

Fu smiled, looking completely willing, and raised an eyebrow to indicate that she should accept it.

Lu Yuwu's eyes reddened.

How fortunate she was to have met Fu Yan, and to have met such a reasonable and genuinely loving Fu family.

"Thank you, Auntie... thank you." She choked up, not knowing what else to say besides thanking her.

Fu Yan walked to her side, gently put his arm around her shoulder, and solemnly promised Shang Wu and Lu Rang: "Aunt Shang, Uncle Lu, don't worry, I, Fu Yan, will never betray Lu Yuwu in this life."

"This agreement will never come into effect."

Shang Wu nodded, finally relieved.

Her daughter was luckier than her.

I have never met the wrong person, nor have I experienced any setbacks.

She was also satisfied with Fu Yan.

Sunlight streamed through the windows into the living room, illuminating the young lovers embracing, their hearts finally coming together.

Everyone around him smiled with relief.

Time flows quietly like water, but they will be together forever.

...

After discussing the engagement arrangements for the two children, Shang Wu began to focus on recuperating from her illness.

Under Lu Rang's meticulous care, she recovered quickly, her complexion gradually became rosy, and she was in good spirits.

The house was once again filled with laughter and warmth.

...

Sunlight streamed lazily through the kitchen window, spilling onto the countertop.

Lu Yuwu was carefully guarding the casserole, where a medicinal chicken soup to replenish blood was simmering.

She held a cookbook in her hand, her brows furrowed, and she muttered to herself as she checked the steps.

Shang Wu, wearing a soft wool shawl, quietly walked to the kitchen door. Looking at Lu Yuwu's focused back, her eyes were filled with a gentle smile.

She didn't make a sound to disturb them, but simply enjoyed the heartwarming scene quietly.

Once upon a time, the little girl who used to whine and act spoiled in her arms has grown into a young woman who can cook and clean for her.

"Mom! Why are you up?"

When Lu Yuwu turned around and saw her mother, she quickly put down the recipe book, walked over, and took her arm.

"The doctor said you need to rest more. Go back and lie down. I'll bring you the soup when it's ready."

"Lying down for too long makes your bones feel weak, get up and move around."

Shang Wu smiled and let her daughter support her, her gaze fixed on the bubbling clay pot.

“Our Xiaowu has really grown up; she can even make soup now.”

"That's right!" Lu Yuwu raised her chin, a hint of pride in her voice. "I've been learning from my aunt for a long time! I guarantee it will taste absolutely amazing!"

As she spoke, she added somewhat shyly, "Although it may not be as good as my dad's cooking."

Shang Wu was amused by her and gently pinched her cheek: "In Mom's heart, what you make will always be the most delicious."

In the living room, Lu Rang was sitting on the sofa dealing with emails.

Hearing the conversation between the mother and daughter in the kitchen, he looked up, his gaze passing through the doorway and landing on them, his cold and hard features softening unconsciously.

The sunlight outlined their figures, and a faint medicinal fragrance filled the air.

This is the existence he would do anything to protect.

The doorbell rang before the meal was ready.

Lu Yuwu ran to open the door, where Fu Yan and Madam Fu were standing.

Fu Yan was wearing a dark cashmere coat, his posture was upright, and the injury on his shoulder seemed to have healed.

He was carrying delicate pastries and a bouquet of elegant champagne roses.

"Auntie, Xiaowu."

Fu Yan handed the flowers to Lu Yuwu, his gaze lingering on her face for a moment before turning to Shang Wu, who was walking over.

"Aunt Shang, how are you feeling today?"

"I'm much better, come in and have a seat." Shang Wu smiled and welcomed them into the room.

Madam Fu pulled Shang Wu to sit down on the sofa, carefully examined her complexion, and nodded with satisfaction.

"You do look much better. It seems that Lu Rang and Xiao Wu have taken good care of you."

Lu Rang also put down his work and came over to talk to him.

The conversation naturally turned to the children's engagement ceremony.

Mrs. Fu took out her tablet with great interest and looked through several venue layout plans and dress styles sent by the designer, seeking opinions from Shang Wu and Lu Yuwu.

"I think this Chinese-style courtyard is very nice; it's elegant and festive."

Madam Fu pointed to a picture of a classical garden.

Lu Yuwu leaned over to watch, her eyes sparkling, and whispered to Fu Yan about the details, her face radiating the sweetness and anticipation unique to a girl about to be married.

Although Fu Yan didn't say much, his gaze always followed her, occasionally offering suggestions in a low voice, his eyes full of doting affection.

Shang Wu and Lu Rang exchanged a smile as they watched the two children interacting so harmoniously.

As the sun sets in the west,

Lu You and Cheng Zhou also brought Xiao Chenyu over for a visit.

As soon as the little guy entered the door, he toddled in with his short legs, giggling as he jumped into Shang Wu's arms, calling out in his childish voice, "Auntie! Chenyu missed you!"

Shang Wu's heart melted instantly. She hugged the little guy and kissed his soft cheeks: "Auntie misses Chenyu too."

Seeing his son clinging to Shang Wu, Cheng Zhou chuckled and teased Lu Rang, "Looks like our little guy will be good at making his elders happy in the future."

Lu Rang rarely showed a relaxed smile, and handed Cheng Zhou a cup of tea: "Like his father, he has high emotional intelligence."

Lu You then pulled Shang Wu aside and carefully inquired about her follow-up examination. He also told her about some interesting things that had happened recently, which made Shang Wu laugh continuously.

Dinner was cooked by Lu Rang himself, consisting of a few simple home-style dishes, yet they were all delicious and visually appealing.

Lu Yuwu presented her homemade chicken soup like a treasure. Although the taste was still a bit immature compared to Lu Rang's cooking, it received unanimous praise from everyone, which made her happy for a long time.

Fu Yan sat down next to Lu Yuwu naturally, carefully serving her food and peeling shrimp.

Lu Yuwu would occasionally look up and smile at him, and there was an unspoken intimacy between them.

Lu You, biting her chopsticks, secretly gave Shang Wu a wink.

Shang Wu quickly coughed, signaling her not to do that, as it was too obvious.

After dinner, the adults chatted and drank tea in the living room, while Xiao Chenyu played with his new toys on the carpet.

Lu Yuwu and Fu Yan slipped onto the balcony.

The air was chilly, but the sky was filled with an unusually large number of stars.

Fu Yan unfolded his coat and wrapped Lu Yuwu in his arms, warming her with his own body heat.

Are you cold?

He asked in a low voice.

Lu Yuwu shook her head, leaned against his chest, and felt at ease listening to his steady and strong heartbeat.

She looked up at the twinkling stars in the night sky and whispered, "Fu Yan, I feel so happy right now. Mom is better, Grandpa agreed, my aunt and uncle are so good to me... and you're here with me."

Fu Yan tightened his arms around her, holding her even closer, and solemnly promised in her ear, "From now on, I will make you this happy forever."

His words were simple, yet carried immense weight.

Lu Yuwu turned around, stood on tiptoe, and planted a light kiss on his lips, her smile brighter than the stars in the sky.

"I trust you."

The gentle night enveloped the two figures embracing each other.

The next day, Lu Yuwu was going to start school.

Someone leaked the news that they were already engaged.

This matter has become so widely known that almost everyone knows about it.

Fu Yan openly and ostentatiously displayed his affection, showing his love to everyone.

The business school and the design school are not close to each other, but Fu Yan has become a frequent visitor to the design school's teaching building.

He would arrive early if he had something to do, and would lean against the wall of the corridor outside Lu Yuwu's painting room, quietly waiting for her to finish class.

Fu Yan was tall and handsome, and even just standing there casually, he was a sight to behold.

The female students from the design institute who passed by frequently glanced at them, whispering among themselves, their eyes full of envy.

Whenever the studio door opened and Lu Yuwu came out carrying her art supplies, her face would instantly light up with a bright and radiant smile when she saw Fu Yan waiting there.

She would jog over, naturally take Fu Yan's arm, and look up at him, chatting and laughing.

The intimate atmosphere between the two was the envy of others.

"Look at Fu Yan's eyes, they could drown someone..."

"I used to think he was unattainable, but now I realize that he only gave all his tenderness to one person."

"Lu Yuwu must have saved the galaxy in her past life..."

Lu Yuwu occasionally overheard some of these whispers.

She pretended not to care on the surface, but inside she felt warm and cozy, like she was soaking in a hot spring.

Fu Yan accepted all the scrutinizing or envious glances directed at Lu Yuwu without question.

When he goes to the cafeteria, he will no longer sit alone in a corner or only with Zhou Zixuan as before.

He would always appear with Lu Yuwu, first finding a good seat for her, and then expertly fetching her favorite dishes from the window.

They even remembered her picky habit of not eating onions, ginger, and garlic, and carefully picked them out for her.

"Don't be so obvious. People don't want to keep watching you show off your love."

Lu Yuwu quickly offered a reminder.

Upon hearing this, Fu Yan curled her lips and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Whether they want to see it or not is their business. I finally got engaged to you, why shouldn't I show it off?"

"All right……"

Lu Yuwu smiled, her eyes crinkling, "Then I'd like to have some sweet and sour pork ribs too."

Fu Yan smiled and got up to get her some food.

Suddenly, a girl mustered up her courage and tried to stop Fu Yan and talk to him when he came back with his food.

"Senior Fu, could I have your contact information...?"

Fu Yan didn't even stop walking. He just glanced at the other person coldly and said a few words.

"Sorry, my girlfriend is waiting for me."

He walked straight to Lu Yuwu, who was looking at him with a smile in her eyes, and placed the plate in front of her.

The female student stood there, her face turning red and white in turns, before finally running away in embarrassment.

Those who witnessed the whole thing gasped in hushed astonishment.

Fu Yan then raised an eyebrow.

"Looks like there are still some people who don't know we're dating, or who don't like logging into the forum?"

As he spoke, he immediately changed his phone's screen saver to a photo of Lu Yuwu asleep on the drawing table.

Sunlight shone on her long eyelashes, creating a serene and beautiful scene.

During a general education class in the afternoon, he took out his phone to check the time. A classmate next to him accidentally caught a glimpse and was immediately bombarded with displays of affection.

Fu Yan no longer refuses invitations to some non-academic campus activities, but only on the condition that Lu Yuwu is willing to participate with him.

At the campus charity ball, he led Lu Yuwu into the venue hand in hand. Their outstanding appearance and tacit dance steps instantly made them the focus of the entire audience.

He held her waist, his gaze fixed on her, as if she were the only person left in the world.

The photo was posted on the campus forum, sparking another round of heated discussion, with comments flooding the screen.

Even Fu Yan's WeChat Moments, which used to be aloof and inactive, has started to show a more human touch.

Although the update frequency is still not high, a photo will occasionally appear.

Sometimes it's two hands clasped together, with a library bookshelf in the background.

Sometimes it's a partial view of Lu Yuwu's design work, accompanied by only the brief caption "Great!"

The most outrageous time was on a weekend morning when he posted a blurry picture of Lu Yuwu wearing an apron and frying eggs in the Lu family kitchen, with only a sun emoji in the caption.

The moment this post was published on WeChat Moments, the comments section exploded.

Zhou Zixuan's first comment: "Holy crap? Fu Yan, your account got hacked?"

The students in the next row from the college joined in the jeering, expressing their shock.

When Lu Yuwu saw it, she was so embarrassed that she almost threw her phone away. She rushed in front of him and stomped her foot, saying, "Fu Yan, why did you post that! It's so embarrassing!"

Fu Yan simply leaned lazily against the sofa, reached out and pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head, his tone filled with laughter.

"What's shameful about it? I think it looks great."

Lu Yuwu kicked her legs in his arms, but he held her even tighter.
