By early December, the temperature had dropped to single digits. Unlike the cold air in the north, which only uses physical attacks, the cold wind in the south is all magical damage. It's the kind of cold that goes straight to the bone, and even thick clothes can't keep you out.

Lately, Chen Lu has been taking care of her daughter with her mother, and then taking care of her mother with her daughter.

By deceiving both sides like this, the two people were finally able to move in here without any reservations.

That day, Chen Lu and Liang Zhirou each held one of Xiao Xunfang's hands and led her to the kitchen.

She had just moved into her new house and immediately started preparing her own meals. Chen Lu and Liang Zhirou couldn't dissuade her, so they had no choice but to give in to her wishes.

Fortunately, Xiao Xunfang has recovered well and can now cook standing up without any problem.

In fact, Chen Lu always felt that Aunt Xiao was a simple, honest, and kind-hearted person at heart.

Otherwise, if she wanted money or money to treat her illness, there would be plenty of people these days who would ask for exorbitant dowries, practically selling their daughters.

Not to mention that Liang Zhirou's looks were already enough to seduce those girls.

But no, she only wanted her daughter to have a good life.

Chen Lu felt that if he hadn't made a firm request in private, she probably would never have asked for a single penny for surgery in her entire life.

"Xiao Lu, didn't your mom say she was coming over for dinner? When is she coming?" Just as Chen Lu was lost in thought, Xiao Xunfang suddenly asked.

She was the one who suggested the dinner party. Wang Xiaoxia had previously mentioned wanting to visit her, but she had been holding a grudge about declining.

She wasn't very able to take care of herself at the time, so it wasn't right to make people come all this way to take care of her.

Now that the two children have a stable relationship and she has recovered quite well, it's time for her to formally meet her future in-laws.

Cooking a meal was the maximum amount of gratitude she could express at that moment. As for anything else, she, a person with a long-term disability who wasn't even considered an ordinary person, didn't have that kind of ability...

"Let me ask."

Chen Lu had just taken out his phone when Wang Xiaoxia called.

"I'll go down and get it."

As he spoke, he walked into the living room and put on the coat that he had casually tossed on the sofa.

Seeing Liang Zhirou timidly walk up to him, he nodded, then took the girl's hand and walked with her outside.

Upon reaching the entrance of the building, with nothing to block the wind, the cold wind blew directly onto Chen Lu's face, making him shiver involuntarily.

He quickly breathed out a puff of hot air and rubbed his stiff hands.

A quiet snow fell last night, covering the entire city in a silvery blanket.

It has quieted down the once bustling city of Hangzhou, creating a sense of peace and tranquility everywhere.

Just as Chen Lu was about to speak, he suddenly felt something as cold as an ice pop being shoved into his neck.

He shivered from the cold, turned around, and saw Liang Zhirou smiling as she rubbed the snow in her hands. Noticing his gaze, she quickly hid her hands behind her back, blinked, and looked at him innocently.

Who is Chen Lu? He always settles scores on the spot. He grabbed a handful of snow from the ground and walked towards Liang Zhirou.

The girl couldn't break free from Chen Lu's embrace, so she said in a coquettish voice, "Stop it, Auntie is coming."

Seeing that Chen Lu still had no intention of letting her go, she tiptoed and kissed Chen Lu on the cheek again.

It's icy cold.

Chen Lu finally gave up, throwing the ball of snow he was holding onto the ground. "You're just showing off because my mom's coming. When are you going back?"

As they spent more time there, the rented room took on a different meaning in their hearts.

No one will disturb them; it's their own private territory.

If he hadn't invested all his money in competing with Lin Jingming's company on speed, he would have wanted to just buy that old house.

"snort."

As Liang Zhirou hummed, she stepped forward and helped Chen Lu straighten his clothes.

Today she was wearing a light green long down jacket, and the top of her hat had a fluffy little pom-pom on it, making her look like a little penguin.

"I'm going to tell Auntie right now." The girl smiled slightly, straightened Chen Lu's collar, and patted it gently to keep out the cold wind. "I'll go meet her at the door."

As Liang Zhirou spoke, she walked to her left.

"The main gate is on the east side! Your side is on the west side!"

Chen Lu couldn't help but complain, "It's hard to imagine that an artist with 30,000 followers on Bilibili could get lost right in front of his own house."

Along with her adorable drawing skills, her number of fans has also increased dramatically.

More and more talented artists are sharing her artwork out of appreciation, and this goofy girl is accumulating fans faster and faster.

Liang Zhirou currently has some commercial drafts in hand.

He wasn't too surprised; given Liang Zhirou's level of effort, it wouldn't be surprising if she succeeded at anything.

When a person focuses on doing one thing every day, except for eating and sleeping, they are very close to success.

"You're a company boss, and you're eating face towels like candy?" Liang Zhirou retorted.

While the two were chatting, Wang Xiaoxia had already reached the door.

"Hello, Auntie," Liang Zhirou greeted sweetly.

"Hey, why did this kid run down here? Isn't he cold?"

Wang Xiaoxia's face lit up with a smile the moment she saw Liang Zhirou. It was strange, this girl was just so pleasing to the eye.

Chen Lu grinned. "Mom, where's Dad?"

“Your dad has some work-related issues,” Wang Xiaoxia said expressionlessly.

Chen Guanglin made up some excuse for not coming, something Chen Lu had already guessed.

Firstly, his absence would make the meeting less formal, more like a casual chat with his mother, thus avoiding putting too much pressure on Liang Zhirou and her mother.
