Seeing that Ai Xiaoxia didn't say anything, Lu Jingshen frowned and asked again, "Don't you like this color?"

Ai Xiaoxia quickly shook her head: "No, I just didn't expect it. I quite like it."

Lu Jingshen smiled: "As long as you like it." As he said that, he took out all the books and told Ai Xiaoxia what the books were.

Ai Xiaoxia held her skirt and listened to Lu Jingshen, her mind wandering.

After a while, Lu Jingyuan came to call them for dinner.

At the dinner table, Lu Jingshen also had good news. He said that a book about bridges that he had written with his university mentor was going to be published. The book had been in writing for more than two years, but it was stuck at the publishing number. It was finally completed this week and printing would begin next month. By then, there would be a considerable extra income, and of course it would also make Lu Jingshen more famous in this field.

Ai Xiaoxia found that the more she got to know Lu Jingshen, the more she felt that this man had depth.

After dinner, they chatted for a while, and then Li Shaofen started to boil water. As soon as the water boiled, she urged Lu Jingshen and Ai Xiaoxia to wash up.

Ai Xiaoxia has also become accustomed to her mother-in-law's "not simple" thoughts. Anyway, now that she is familiar with Lu Jingshen, talking between them in the house is not as awkward as it was at the beginning, and she still has a lot to say to Lu Jingshen.

She went back to her room and changed into her new nightgown, then called Lu Jingshen into the room and placed the pajamas she had made for him on the edge of the kang. She said, "I made you a set of pajamas. Try them on. This is my first time making them and I don't have much experience. If there are any problems, I can modify them."

Lu Jingshen came in and saw Ai Xiaoxia wearing a pure white nightgown. The fresh and unworldly feeling, coupled with her pretty and delicate little face, made her look like a little fairy.

When he heard Ai Xiaoxia say that she made pajamas for him, the corners of his mouth couldn't be concealed and he almost laughed: "Yeah, it must be suitable."

Ai Xiaoxia couldn't stand in the room and watch Lu Jingshen change his clothes: "Then I'll go out and wash up first."

Ai Xiaoxia was standing on the steps brushing her teeth when Lu Jingyuan came out. He looked at Ai Xiaoxia in surprise and asked, "Sister-in-law, you're wearing new clothes so late at night. Are you going out?"

Ai Xiaoxia scratched her head and looked at her nightgown: "This is a nightgown, I wear it to sleep."

Lu Jingyuan asked in confusion: "Why do you have to wear such nice clothes to sleep?"

At this time, Li Shaofen came out with a smile on her face and said to Lu Jingyuan, "You little brat, you are asking nonsense questions. What do you know? Go inside quickly."

Lu Jingyuan walked into the house with a puzzled look on his face. When he reached the door, he saw Lu Jingshen coming out, also wearing new clothes. "Brother, you're wearing new clothes too?"

Before Lu Jingshen could say anything, Li Shaofen came over and dragged Lu Jingyuan into the house: "Hurry up and go in. I'll take care of everything. Your brother and your sister-in-law are just getting married after a short separation. Don't go out if you have nothing to do."

Ai Xiaoxia knew that her mother-in-law had misunderstood again, but there was no way to explain it. She probably thought that her mother-in-law had some fun with Lu Jingshen that night.

Lu Jingshen didn't say anything. He stood beside Ai Xiaoxia and brushed his teeth. As he brushed, he couldn't help but smile secretly.

After washing up, the two went into the house.

Ai Xiaoxia closed the windows and drew the curtains as usual so that it would be convenient to talk.

Then, while she was making the bed and arranging books at the desk, she talked about Zhang Caifeng with Lu Jingshen. She originally wanted to narrate the story, but for some reason, she wanted to hear how much Lu Jingshen knew about Zhang Caifeng first.

So after saying a few words, she suddenly asked Lu Jingshen: "How is your relationship with Zhang Caifeng?"

Lu Jingshen was a little confused by Ai Xiaoxia's question: "Zhang Caifeng, I don't know her that well. We're just neighbors, and we just say hello when we meet. What's wrong? Do you need something from her?"

Ai Xiaoxia felt more at ease after hearing this: "Zhang Caifeng came to me and said that you had been engaged as children. She also said that you grew up together and had many beautiful memories..."

Before Ai Xiaoxia could finish, Lu Jingshen walked over to her and said, "Xiaoxia, don't listen to Zhang Caifeng's nonsense. She and I are not familiar with each other, and there is no such thing as a childhood engagement. You know my parents' personalities. They wouldn't make such a joke, so this doesn't exist."

Ai Xiaoxia smiled this time, spread out the quilt, sat down at the table on the kang, and asked Lu Jingshen again, "Does Zhang Caifeng like you?"

Lu Jingshen didn't deny it and sat down next to Ai Xiaoxia. "Well, she wrote me a love letter, but I rejected it on the spot and even confiscated it." He then realized something and asked, "Could it be that Zhang Caifeng feels ashamed and wants to take revenge on me? To cause discord between us as husband and wife?"

Ai Xiaoxia moved closer to Lu Jingshen and shook her head meaningfully, saying, "It doesn't seem like I'm trying to get revenge on you, but rather that I still have some inappropriate thoughts about you."

Lu Jingshen frowned and said, "But we are already married? What else does she want?"

"Marriage doesn't mean you can't get divorced. A high-quality and potential man like you will still be in high demand even if you get divorced." Ai Xiaoxia has always had a high opinion of Lu Jingshen.

Hearing this, Lu Jingshen looked at Ai Xiaoxia and smiled: "Am I that good in your heart?"

Ai Xiaoxia was attracted by Lu Jingshen's smile and charming voice. Her face was a little hot, and she quickly lowered her head to hide her embarrassment: "You are indeed very good. Everyone can see that."

Lu Jingshen looked at Ai Xiaoxia: "But I only want your approval. It doesn't matter what others think."

Ai Xiaoxia realized that maybe she had been single for too long in her previous life, so why was she so easily seduced in this life? Also, wasn't Lu Jingshen a quiet and reserved person? Why was he so talkative when they were together?

She quickly stepped back, still feeling she didn't know him well enough: "Well, well, I haven't finished talking about Zhang Caifeng yet. I beat her up that day, and I have to tell you, don't bring up the past in their family later. She was the first to hit me, and I was just defending myself and fighting back."

Lu Jingshen looked at Ai Xiaoxia, smiled dotingly and nodded: "You fought well, I'm relieved that you won't be bullied. If she provokes you again, just keep fighting."

"Still fighting?" Ai Xiaoxia never expected Lu Jingshen to say that, and she didn't react for a moment.

"If anyone bullies you, fight back, but you also have to protect yourself. If you can't beat them, tell me. Although I don't hit women, if someone bullies you, I won't let them have an easy time either." Lu Jingshen looked into Ai Xiaoxia's eyes and said deeply.

Ai Xiaoxia found that not only was her face blushing, but her heart was also beating faster. Fortunately, she was far away, otherwise she would have been overwhelmed by the beauty.

She sat on the kang next to the windowsill: "I know, don't worry, I won't be bullied."

Lu Jingshen brought over two books: "Read for a while before going to sleep?"

Ai Xiaoxia couldn't sleep either, so she nodded: "Yeah."

The two of them sat facing each other at the table on the kang, reading quietly.

Until she heard someone coming out of the east room, Ai Xiaoxia glanced at the clock. It was already ten o'clock, so she hurried to lie down, otherwise her mother-in-law would start to think too much again.
