To avoid being laughed at by Lu Sangsang and Chu Jun while skiing, she deliberately pulled Gu Zhendong aside. Later, she started to study seriously and didn't pay attention to them.

She had no idea when Lu Sangsang sprained her ankle or when the two of them left.

Lu Huan calmly responded with an "Oh," and said, "What's the big deal? They're a couple!"

Yan Shi clicked his tongue, "They're not married yet, so it's hard to say whether they'll be together in the future!"

Yan Shi is a very open-minded person. There is very little genuine love between wealthy families. Even if there are a few couples, they are probably all broken up by their elders. The rest are all business marriages between people of equal social standing.

The Lu family is currently in a relatively good position thanks to Gu Zhendong, but who can predict what will happen in the future? After all, Lu Huan is not Lu Zhong's biological daughter. Lu Zhong is too greedy, and Gu Zhendong is not a philanthropist.

With the Lu family gone, what right does Lu Sangsang have to marry Chu Jun?

The future situation is constantly changing, and no one knows what will happen until the very last moment.

While Yan Shi's analysis was reasonable, Lu Huan looked at her with confusion, "And what about you, you and Fu Hanshen..."

She didn't say the rest, but it was clear from the words.

Yan Shi's family situation is even worse than Lu Sangsang's. If we're talking about being well-matched, they don't necessarily have to get married.

"Who said we were getting married?"

"You're not planning to get married? Aren't you just dating?" Lu Huan was genuinely surprised this time. After they reunited last time, Lu Huan thought they were serious and heading towards marriage.

Yan Shi took a small sip of her drink. "You're overthinking it. We're just dating. Who says dating means you have to get married?"

Lu Huan: ...

Before, it was all about physical attraction; now it's about both emotional and physical attraction. What she fears is that Yan Shi won't be able to escape unscathed like last time.

Actually, she didn't escape unscathed last time either. If she had truly escaped, how could she have gotten entangled with Fu Hanshen again?

"Come on! Cheers!" Lu Huan raised his glass high and clinked it against hers. "I hope we can both be happy!"

"My dear sister, I'm just waiting for you to take care of me from now on!"

The two women nearby were whispering to each other when they suddenly started drinking heartily, and no one could stop them.

Fu Hanshen scratched his head in confusion, "What's wrong with those two?"

Gu Zhendong shook his head, "I don't know!"

After the two finished a bottle of red wine, Lu Huan was already three or four parts drunk and wanted to drink more, but Gu Zhendong stopped her.

Gu Zhendong carried Lu Huan back to the house. As soon as he put her on the bed, Lu Huan jumped up and exclaimed, "I want to go to the hot springs!"

They're already this drunk, why would they go to a hot spring?

Gu Zhendong pressed her down, "Go to sleep!"

When Lu Huan is drunk, she likes to argue with people. The more Gu Zhendong forbids her from doing something, the more she wants to do it.

She wasn't as strong as Gu Zhendong and couldn't escape his embrace, so she started to cry, accusing him, "Gu Zhendong, you don't love me anymore! You won't even let me soak in the hot spring, waaaah..."

"It's cold outside, you'll easily catch a cold if you go out like this!"

"I don't care, I just want to soak in the hot springs!"

"obedient!"

"I won't listen! If you won't let me soak in the hot springs, I'm going home!"

"..."

It's utterly unreasonable, and when you try to reason with her, Lu Huan won't listen at all.

Gu Zhendong had no choice but to personally accompany her to the hot spring.

The hot spring water was very hot, and white steam rose from the surface. Lu Huan leaned against the pool wall, feeling drowsy.

She insisted on going to the hot springs, but fell asleep again in no time. Gu Zhendong really had to give her a piece of his mind.

After calling her twice without waking her up, he simply carried her back to the room.

Lu Huan woke up early the next morning.

I played in the snow all afternoon yesterday, but surprisingly, I didn't feel any soreness when I woke up this morning. Perhaps it's because I soaked in the hot spring last night.

She didn't remember much about last night, except that she kept asking to go to the hot springs, but Gu Zhendong wouldn't let her, so she cried.

As for what happened after she entered the hot spring, she fell asleep.

Lu Huan rolled over and buried herself in Gu Zhendong's arms, the man already habitually wrapping his arms around her waist.

It's still early, no rush to get up.

Lu Huan nestled against the man's chest, her face flushed, and soon fell into a deep sleep again.

When she woke up again, Gu Zhendong was no longer by her side.

Except for the first day when it snowed heavily, the next two days were sunny.

After lunch, I went out for a casual stroll, bought some things, and flew back the next day.

Whether it was her imagination or not, something seemed off between Yan Shi and Fu Hanshen on the way back.

Lu Huan subtly nudged Gu Zhendong's shoulder, "Did those two have a fight?"

Whether they argued or not, Gu Zhendong didn't know, but he could guess that Fu Hanshen's purpose in coming out this time had not been achieved. "I don't know!"

Alright then, she'll ask Yan Shi again later.

Back home, after only three days apart, Yan Rong missed her daughter-in-law terribly.

Upon meeting, the two gave each other a big hug.

Lu Huan couldn't wait to take out the things she had bought, but Yan Rong had a bright smile on her face. "You silly child, you only went out for one day, why did you buy so many things!"

Lu Huan knew they had everything they needed and hadn't bought anything expensive, so she brought some local specialties and snacks.

After the New Year's Day holiday, Lu Huan threw herself into her work and was extremely busy every day.

Lu Huan had rarely experienced such a busy work schedule before, and she was really struggling to keep up for the first two days.

Gu Zhendong felt very sorry for her, "If you're tired, take a day off."

It's really tiring to juggle studies and work.

Lu Huan gave him an OK sign, "Don't worry, I'm fine!"

She's been spoiled by Gu Zhendong lately, and she can't even handle these little things.

Lu Huan could also become Mrs. Gu, whom others would say only needs to enjoy life. A life without worries about food and clothing would indeed feel blissful at first, but it would gradually become boring. She didn't want to depend on Gu Zhendong and ask him for help with everything, nor did she want to become Gu Zhendong's appendage.

What she really wants is to have her own career.

After a week, Lu Huan got into work mode.

After some time, Guo Yi suddenly called her and said that Lu Sangsang and Chu Jun were getting engaged, and asked her to come home with Gu Zhendong for a meal.

Lu Huan was extremely shocked. Last time, Chu Jun's attitude towards Lu Sangsang was ambiguous, but now they're getting engaged?

Without asking for further explanation, Lu Huan simply replied, "I understand."

After returning home, Lu Huan mentioned the matter to Gu Zhendong. Gu Zhendong's reaction was quite indifferent, as if he had already guessed that they would get engaged and was not surprised at all.

Lu Huan stroked her chin, then turned to look at Gu Zhendong, "Don't you find it strange?"

"It's their business if someone gets engaged, what's so strange about it?"

"No, it's just that I heard Chu Jun say that he didn't seem to want to marry Lu Sangsang before, so how come they're getting engaged in the blink of an eye?"

Instead of sleeping late at night, they were discussing other people. Gu Zhendong pulled Lu Huan into his arms with one arm and started arguing with her, "When did you hear Chu Jun say that?"

The man's low voice was full of danger, and Lu Huan instantly shrank her neck, trying to get away from Gu Zhendong, but it was too late. Gu Zhendong put his arm around her neck and asked, "Have you been in contact with each other in private?"

Lu Huan immediately shook her head in denial, "Of course not!"

She had already blocked Chu Jun's phone number and WeChat, so how could she still contact him? She had just casually asked him a question before, but she didn't dare to say it, afraid that Gu Zhendong would think she was still concerned about Chu Jun.

"Then how do you know he doesn't want to marry Lu Sangsang?" The man pinched her earlobe with his fingers, and it became warm after a few pinches. Lu Huan had a sudden idea. "I figured it out myself. Last time we went skiing together, I felt that Chu Jun didn't care much about Lu Sangsang!"

Chu Jun's attitude towards Lu Sangsang was neither cold nor disgusted, but it wasn't exactly friendly either.

Hearing this, Gu Zhendong became even more jealous. Last time at the ski resort, they spent no more than half an hour together in total, yet she could still tell that Chu Jun was different.

"So, you've been staring at Chu Jun the whole time?"

"..."

When it comes to trivial matters, Gu Zhendong always manages to hit Lu Huan's sore spot with his sharp insight. She originally just wanted to say that it was strange for Chu Jun and Lu Sangsang to suddenly get engaged, but as the conversation went on, it turned into her staring at Chu Jun.

Honestly, she only glanced at Chu Jun a few times; she definitely didn't stare at him continuously.

Gu Zhendong touched her soft earlobe. "Why aren't you saying anything?"

Lu Huan glared at him resentfully, then suddenly changed the subject, saying, "Honey, I've been busy all day, I'm so tired, I need to go to sleep, I have to get up early for class tomorrow!"

She made a mistake from the very first sentence, and the more she said, the more mistakes she made.

Oh dear, she shouldn't have brought this up.

Lu Huan turned her back and acted like a coward. Gu Zhendong smiled helplessly. He was just teasing her and wasn't really angry.

Lu Sangsang and Chu Jun didn't even hold an engagement banquet; their parents just had a meal at a restaurant.

Lu Zhong expressed considerable dissatisfaction with this. He had originally hoped that Lu Sangsang would marry Chu Jun, preferably in a way that would be known to the whole world. Even if Chu Jun changed his mind in the future, he could still condemn him from a moral standpoint.

But now, just because both sets of parents are having a meal together, Lu Zhong threw a huge tantrum at home.

Of course, these were all things Guo Yi said to her. When they arrived at the restaurant, Lu Zhonghe was chatting and laughing with Chu Jun's parents in a friendly manner.

Chu Jun's parents don't stay in China much. They flew back specifically for their son's engagement, wanting to see what their future daughter-in-law would be like.

In fact, they had met Lu Huan long ago and liked her quite a bit. When they learned that Lu Huan had married another man while they were abroad, they regretted it for a long time and even called Chu Jun to scold him.

Several years had passed, and Lu Huan had grown even more beautiful. Madam Chu said affectionately, "You're getting more and more beautiful, my child!"

Unfortunately, her son wasn't so lucky; such a beautiful girl was married off to another man.

The main character tonight is clearly Lu Sangsang, but everyone's attention is on Lu Huan. Lu Huan is being praised by her elders, and a shy look appears on her face.

However, the more Madam Chu praised Lu Huan, the more over-the-top it became, and Lu Huan sensed something was wrong. Before Madam Chu could say anything more, she quickly grabbed Gu Zhendong and said enthusiastically, "Auntie, this is my husband, Gu Zhendong!"
