"Jiang Chao just called me and said he's a dad. Liu Yan gave birth to a girl."

Chen Lu walked side by side with the girl and said softly.

Liang Zhirou opened her mouth in surprise, "So fast?"

"It's almost the end of the month, are you out of your mind?" Chen Lu said with a smile, poking the girl's forehead.

"I didn't react at first..."

Chen Lu spoke casually, but a hint of envy rose in his heart. He felt the texture of the girl's lace gloves and gently squeezed her hand. "Let's get married soon. Once we're married, we'll be real family."

"Isn't I already married to you?" Liang Zhirou deliberately tugged at her white veil and smiled sweetly at him.

Chen Lu was momentarily stunned by her amusement, then put his arm around the girl's waist and pulled her into his embrace with a smile.

Looking at their shadows on the ground, the two of them simultaneously stretched out their arms and made a big heart shape on the beach.

......

The Spring Festival was earlier this year, and the two of them didn't get home until the day before the New Year.

Aside from excitement and anticipation, the preparations for a wedding are exhausting and can be overwhelming.

Unable to resist Wang Xiaoxia's constant urging, the two finally settled on a new house, the Yujing Garden they had previously looked at, and all they needed to do was buy furniture.

Although fully furnished apartments are often considered a waste of money, the situation here is different. This was designed from the beginning to be a high-end residential project; otherwise, it wouldn't have been built as a river-view property. People who can afford this kind of house don't care about the premium, and the developer wouldn't risk damaging their reputation in the high-end market for a small discount.

So no matter how closely you look at it, there are no flaws.

If they renovated the place themselves and waited for it to air out, it wouldn't be enough time to use it as their wedding room. Wang Xiaoxia originally planned to use the existing renovations to get married first, and then let the young couple continue living in the rented house while she renovated this place.

It turned out that Liang Zhirou seemed to like it quite a bit, so he went along with the silly girl's wish.

That night.

Liang Zhirou lay on the sofa, patiently looking through the photos the two had taken recently.

Looking at the girl in the photo, so pure and elegant in her wedding dress, she could hardly believe it was her.

Am I really that good-looking?

Chen Lu sat to the side, stroking his chin as he pondered the detailed arrangements for the wedding.

This silly guy will definitely ask Lin Miaomiao to be his bridesmaid, so he has to call Li Sinian over too, otherwise if Lin Miaomiao does something torturous, no one will dare to be his bridesmaid.

Then Jiang Chao got married and wasn't suitable to be a groomsman, so Peng Leyun could take his place.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Lu took out his phone and stared at the chat interface with Li Sinian. He then froze in place.

In the end, this guy didn't borrow a single penny from him or Jiang Chao, seemingly intending to silently watch the relationship fade away.

After pondering for a long time, Chen Lu decided to send a message.

Chen Lu: Will you be my best man?

Li Sinian: Is that even a question?

Chen Lu: How are things between you and Sun Ruoxi?

Li Sinian: We haven't been in contact since.

Chen Lu: Aren't we going to discuss it further?

Li Sinian: Her mother can ask for 300,000 yuan as a bride price, what about later? Brother Lu, I really like her, but I can't help it, I can't afford to get married.

Chen Lu sighed.

This guy really saw things clearly; this wasn't a problem that he and Jiang Chao could solve simply by borrowing some money.

If Sun Ruoxi continues like this, who can guarantee that her mother won't cause trouble in the future?

“Aren’t we going to Auntie’s? She wants to see our wedding photos…” Just as Chen Lu was thinking about whether to say something more, Liang Zhirou suddenly said.

Although the electronic version has been sent, older people seem to prefer the photo album.

"It's so late already. Anyway, we're going there for the New Year tomorrow, so we might as well go tomorrow." Chen Lu yawned lazily.

Liang Zhirou nodded slightly, glanced down at the video Wang Xiaoxia had sent on WeChat, and watched Duoduo rolling around on Chen Lu's floor. Suddenly, she missed Duoduo.

She even suspected that Chen Lu had forgotten about Duo Duo, as he didn't mention picking her up when he came back today.

After a while, she took the initiative to sit on Chen Lu's lap and rubbed her head against his chin.

"What's wrong?" Chen Lu asked, somewhat curious.

"Will you play a game with me for a while? I know how to play now, and I won't let you down." The girl kept rubbing against him like a cat, muttering to herself, "I got back to Diamond rank by myself today, without having Xiao Mo carry me."

Chen Lu couldn't recall what sentence he had said over the past two years that had made this simpleton mistakenly believe that he thought she was a swindler and that's why he didn't want to hang out with her.

I thought about it for a long time but still couldn't remember.

"I've never complained about you being a slacker."

Liang Zhirou pursed her lips and whispered, "I know, I was afraid of upsetting you..."

"You play Malphite, I'll play Yasuo, okay?" Chen Lu raised an eyebrow at her.

Okay~

......

After only a few rounds, Chen Lu was already drenched in sweat.

If this fight continues, the marriage might not go through.

It wasn't that Liang Zhirou was too difficult, but rather that she would knock several people away at once, and Chen Lu was worried that if they continued fighting, he would lose his temper and write this silly girl into his family tree.

As for those few ultimate abilities that the silly guy threw into the enemy fountain, he didn't think much of it after he died from them, so as not to affect his relationship with his wife.

The next day was the Spring Festival.

As soon as it was light, Chen Lu took Liang Zhirou to Wang Xiaoxia's place, planning to sit for a while before picking up Aunt Xiao.

As soon as they entered, they saw Xiao Xunfang sitting on the sofa, looking at the same phone as Wang Xiaoxia, the two of them chatting and laughing.

The way he spoke made it sound like he was commenting on his wedding photos with Liang Zhirou.
