After packing their things, Yuan Doudou and her companion carried their bags and walked out.

"DouDou, I may not be the richest person in the world, but I do have some savings. You don't need to move your whole house there, do you?"

Lu Chaoyang was dumbfounded when he saw that she had even brought pots and pans.

"My lord, you don't know this, but I'm used to using these things. I wouldn't be used to using other things."

She had a feeling that she might never come back after leaving Ping'an Village.

Seeing that she was determined, Lu Chaoyang had no choice but to obediently take the package and put it in the car.

"I'm going to find Brother Wang. You guys wait here for me."

Yuan Doudou realized that she needed to find someone to take over her greenhouse.

"Get in the car first, let's go together," Lu Chaoyang said.

He had met that Brother Wang before; he was tall and strong, and seemed to have a crush on Yuan Doudou.

Yuan Doudou thought about it and agreed since it was on her way.

An Rong took her hand and led her into the carriage. The carriage was spacious, and Ye Xiaoqian followed Anji inside.

"Mother, this carriage is so beautiful!" Angie exclaimed.

He had only ever ridden in the post station carriage, which contained only two long wooden benches.

But this carriage was very spacious, and even the seats were soft, as if they were covered with cotton.

"So? Do you like your uncle's carriage?" Lu Chaoyang asked with a smile.

Angie grinned and said, "I love it! I love it so much!"

"If you like it, Uncle will take you on the ride every day from now on." Lu Chaoyang really likes Anji, who is as beautiful as his mother and is also very clever.

"Uncle is so kind, thank you, Uncle." It was the first time he had met this uncle, and he liked him from the bottom of his heart.

Although he wasn't entirely sure, he knew his uncle had come to help them.

The carriage stopped at the Wang family's residence.

It was already late, and the gates of the Wang family's courtyard were tightly shut.

Yuan Doudou got out of the car and knocked on the door. Someone quickly came to open the door.

"DouDou?" Wang Qiqiang was somewhat surprised.

Yuan Doudou gave a brief account of the situation, mainly concerning the greenhouse.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of the greenhouse and the family."

She asked Wang Qiqiang to give the rabbits at home to Li Dashan. He had put a lot of effort into setting up a greenhouse and food truck for her, and he had even given her a discount.

After explaining things to her family, Yuan Doudou got into the car with peace of mind.

Wang Qiqiang watched them until the carriage disappeared from sight before returning home.

Not long after they left, Song Lin'an's men arrived. Seeing the An family's house locked up, they knew they were too late and could only leave disappointed.

Yuan Doudou and her group arrived at the Lu residence, and Lu Chaoyang got out of the car first.

"Welcome to my home."

The guard at the gate immediately perked up when he saw Lu Chaoyang.

"Xiao Liu, go and have someone prepare two guest rooms."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Liu hurried inside to make arrangements.

In a short while, five or six servants and maids came out.

"Master, you're finally back! Haitang was so worried about you."

The woman, dressed in a dress embroidered with begonia flowers and wearing exquisite makeup, held Lu Chaoyang's arm and wept bitterly, her face streaked with tears. She was a pitiful sight.

"Alright, we have guests here, don't let them laugh at us." Lu Chaoyang suppressed his embarrassment and quickly wiped away her tears.

Seeing this, Chuntao stepped forward and said to Yuan Doudou and the others, "I am Chuntao and she is Haitang. Although we are our master's maids, we grew up together since childhood, so our feelings for each other are naturally deeper than those for other maids. Please forgive us, distinguished guests, I will take you inside now."

She referred to herself as me, but she never truly considered them honored guests.

Indeed, they were dressed very simply, except for Ye Xiaoqian, who was dressed rather properly.

"Thank you for your trouble, Miss Chuntao." Yuan Doudou bowed in greeting.

Chuntao glanced at her again; her face was like a peach blossom, her eyes sparkled, and she was elegant and refined.

This girl must be someone important.

"May I ask your name?" Chun Tao's tone was gentle, somewhat different from before.

"My surname is Yuan, you can just call me DouDou."

Chun Tao pursed her lips and teased, "What kind of name is that? It's really funny."

"Miss Yuan, please come in."

As they spoke, they arrived at the bedroom door, which was open. Inside, there was a round table, a couch on the left, and a desk on the right.

"The room has been prepared, please feel free to check in, Miss Yuan."

Yuan Doudou thanked Chuntao and led Anji inside first.

Turning around, I saw An Rong standing at the door, staring blankly at the entrance.

"An Rong," she called softly.

A fleeting look of sorrow crossed An Rong's eyes. For their safety, living under someone else's roof was understandable.

"Okay," he replied, and followed them into the house.

Ye Xiaoqian was taken to the next room by Chun Tao. Apart from the arrangement of the desk, the other furnishings were almost the same.

"Miss Ye, please tell me if you need anything."

Ye Xiaoqian sized up Chuntao. She had delicate features and was dressed in fine silk and satin, so she certainly didn't look like an ordinary maid.

"Chuntao, right? Here's the thing, we are honored guests invited back by your master. You can neglect me, but you can't neglect DouDou, understand?"

Chun Tao asked, puzzled, "Why?"

She was clearly just an ordinary village woman; her master took pity on her and brought her home.

She really thinks she's the boss.

"Go ask your master, and you'll know." Ye Xiaoqian went inside and closed the door, not giving her a chance to ask again.

Aren't the maids in big families usually quite clever? This Chun Tao looks rather silly.

Even a rough person like her could see that Lu Chaoyang's feelings for Dou Dou were definitely not those of ordinary friends.

Meanwhile, Yuan Doudou finished washing up, took Anji to bed, and left the outside space for An Rong.

They've already developed an intimate relationship, so there's no need for them to be coy and sleep in separate beds anymore.

Unexpectedly, just after she had coaxed Anji to sleep, she saw Anrong taking a blanket and sleeping on the floor.

"An Rong, what are you doing?" Yuan Doudou was completely confused.

Could it be that this guy changed his mind after visiting the Song family and now wants to remain chaste for Song Lin'an?

An Rong looked at her gently, a smile playing on his lips. "Don't overthink it. If we sleep separately, I can control myself."

She's like a little fox; the moment he touches her, he feels restless and finds it hard to stay calm.

Yuan Doudou chuckled: "I won't touch you, come on up here, really, you believe me."

That night, she was asleep and had no idea what she had done.

If she had known it would hurt him so much, she would never have done it, even if it meant death.

"Yes, I believe you. I just don't believe in myself. Listen to me, go to sleep." An Rong's tone was very doting.

Yuan Doudou was under a spell; the next second, she obediently lay down, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

The night was long, and An Rong tossed and turned on the floor, unable to fall asleep.

He kept looking at her, her peaceful sleeping face, becoming more and more mesmerized.

Yuan Doudou is a restless sleeper. She turned over several times and was hanging off the edge of the bed, almost falling off.

An Rong dragged the blanket to the edge of the bed and lay down close to it, waiting to be her human cushion.
