Cheng Mingyue's voice was still sweet, and even had a hint of smile in it, but when Lu Chen heard it, he felt even more distressed.

Although his parents had gone abroad a long time ago and his uncle's family was very perfunctory to him, he still had his grandparents and uncles who cared about him. Compared with Cheng Mingyue, he even felt that he was very happy.

The hostility I felt when talking about my cousin just now also dissipated a little for some reason.

Lu Chen held Cheng Mingyue tighter in his arms and solemnly promised her in her ear: "Mingyue, from now on I am your family. As long as I am here, I will make you the happiest woman in the world."

Cheng Mingyue felt that this line was very familiar, as if all the male protagonists in idol dramas would say this to the female protagonists.

She chuckled and shook her head, shaking off the distracting thoughts in her mind, slowly closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep.

Not long after Cheng Mingyue fell asleep, Lu Chen gently kissed the top of her head. The tenderness in his eyes almost overflowed in the dark night, and he fell asleep soon after.

Around five in the morning, there was a knock on the courtyard door. Lu Chen opened his eyes and gently pushed Cheng Mingyue in his arms.

"Mingyue, they are here to pick us up."

Cheng Mingyue rubbed her eyes sleepily, and suddenly remembered what Lu Chen had said to her last night about going to the county.

She quickly put on her clothes, fetched some water, washed herself, and went to open the gate.

There were two burly men standing outside the door. One was a bald man about forty years old, and the other was about thirty years old with a full beard. A large truck was parked behind them.

Cheng Mingyue smiled and greeted the two people: "Thank you for coming to pick us up so early. Come in."

"Sister-in-law, it's not a big deal. The boss's business is ours, and it's all our responsibility." The bald man said in a deep voice, and after that, he did not forget to introduce himself: "Sister-in-law, my name is Liu Qiang, and his name is Liu Yun, and he is my nephew."

Cheng Mingyue found it a little funny. She, an eighteen-year-old girl, was actually being called sister-in-law by a forty-year-old man. It felt a little weird.

Cheng Mingyue knew that they were arguing with Lu Chen, so she didn't say anything else. She let them into the room and helped Lu Chen get water to brush his teeth and wash his face.

Cheng Mingyue finished cleaning up quickly.

Apart from a few pieces of clothes, he didn't bring anything else. Lu Chen said that everything had already been prepared in the county.

Liu Yun carried Lu Chen out of the yard and slowly put him on the truck they drove. Cheng Mingyue locked the yard gate and followed him into the truck.

The truck drove for more than an hour and finally arrived at the county town. Soon the car stopped at the gate of a very remote courtyard.

The bearded Liu Yun jumped out of the car first, took out the key from his trouser pocket and opened the gate, then turned back and carried Lu Chen into the yard.

Liu Qiang wanted to help Cheng Mingyue, but saw her jump out of the car very nimbly.

Liu Yun gently placed Lu Chen on the bed and returned to Liu Qiang.

Liu Qiang shook his head helplessly, turned around and said to Lu Chen with a smile:

"We have prepared everything we need. This place is quite remote, perfect for Big Brother to recuperate. You can just stay here and rest assured. I'll come back in a couple of days to get you anything you need."

Lu Chen glanced around the room and nodded: "Okay, come back in ten days."

Liu Qiang responded, nodded to Cheng Mingyue, and drove away with his nephew.

Cheng Mingyue closed the gate and then looked around the house in the morning light.

This house is even bigger than hers, with a master bedroom that is particularly large, as if two houses were connected into one.

There is a kitchen, a separate bathroom, and the toilet is built in the backyard. Cheng Mingyue walked around every room and was very satisfied.

Because everything in the house is arranged in her heart.

Let’s talk about the bedroom first. There is a big double bed. Cheng Mingyue estimated that it is about 2.8 meters wide and 2.5 meters long.

Cheng Mingyue almost couldn't help laughing when she saw this big bed. Those two people must have been so afraid that she would touch her eldest brother's legs while sleeping. It was really difficult for them to get such a big bed.

In addition to the bed, there is a large wardrobe with three doors and a dressing table with a wide table top and several bottles of cosmetics on it.

The things in the kitchen are also of special attention, all are brand new, from pots and pans to water tanks and cabinets, from fruits and vegetables to rice, flour, grain, oil and various seasonings, everything is available.

The bathroom is also very novel, with a bathtub and shower, plus a washbasin, and even shampoo, soap, toothpaste and toothbrush are all available.

The bathroom is also very clean. Although it is not a flush toilet but a squat toilet, it has a flushing device with a small rope. Just pull it lightly and water will flow out. It is very convenient.

In this day and age, such a house can be called a dream house. Cheng Mingyue nodded in satisfaction.

After returning to the house, she smiled and said to Lu Chen: "The house is very nice. It can be seen that they really put a lot of effort into it." Then she asked: "How do you know them?"

She heard that both of them had accents from Xifu, and Lu Chen had lived in Beijing since he was a child, so she became curious.

Lu Chen stared at Cheng Mingyue with burning eyes, "I thought you wouldn't ask about everything!"

Cheng Mingyue's heart tightened, and she quickly explained: "If it's inconvenient for you, forget it, I..."

But then Lu Chen said, "I'm very happy. I'm very happy that you are willing to understand me."

Lu Chen's voice was full of joy and happiness, as if Cheng Mingyue had said some shameful love words.

Cheng Mingyue was a little stunned, and then she heard Lu Chen explain: "Before, you didn't care about anything about me, and I always felt like there was a layer between us. Now that you can take the initiative to ask me, it means that you have begun to care about me in your heart. I am very happy!"

After saying that, Lu Chen patted the place beside him and said, "Come up and lie down for a while. You must not have slept well. I will tell you about other things slowly."

Cheng Mingyue put the clothes she brought into the closet, took off her shoes, and lay down on the bed side by side with Lu Chen. She turned sideways and listened carefully to him talk about everything related to him.

From how naughty he was as a child to how sad and lonely he felt after his parents left.

From the doting of his grandparents to the overt and covert exclusion of his uncle's family after they passed away, occasionally there was some care from his grandparents.

"A few years ago, Grandpa sensed that someone was going to harm him and had been secretly intervening. However, he knew his special status could not be erased, so he prepared for the worst and began to lay out his plans. He also told me everything so that I could be more vigilant."

When Lu Chen recounted the events of the past, he spoke in a straightforward manner without adding too much emotion. Only at this moment did his tone suddenly become cold, and Cheng Mingyue could feel a hint of chill even when she was beside him.
