Chapter 63 Chapter 63 I am lucky to marry her
Chapter 63
On the weekend, Ruan Yan, Zhao Tian and Liu Mengmeng made an appointment to go shopping.
Ruan Yan still remembers the day she announced the news that she and Lu Peishi had obtained their marriage certificate in "Yongshou Palace". The WeChat group was instantly flooded with messages from the excited Liu Mengmeng, and she almost crashed her phone.
Ruan Yan didn't have time to finish reading, but she could vaguely see two lines from Liu Mengmeng's note: "So, you suddenly became the president's wife, our boss lady!"
[Hello, Madam Boss! Madam Boss, please give me some support!]
The president's wife, the boss's wife... She quickly sent a terrified puppy emoticon.
Zhao Tian survived in the cracks of information: [? When did you secretly start dating behind our backs?]
Ruan Yan laughed dryly. She didn't know how to explain that there was no such thing as a secret. It was just that they simply skipped the step of falling in love.
Because of this, she felt as if their relationship was suddenly played at a faster speed, and some details that might have been missed in the middle made it difficult for her not to care.
"Did you go to get your marriage certificate on a whim? Did you take the vows like they do in the TV dramas? The ones where we voluntarily marry each other and from now on, no matter good times or bad, rich or poor, we will stick together through thick and thin..."
Even though Liu Mengmeng had been asking them about details on WeChat until midnight, when the three of them came out, the excited Liu Mengmeng still had many questions to ask.
Ruan Yan didn't know about this process yet: "No, we came out right after getting the certificate. It was a last-minute trip, and it felt like everything was rushed."
Zhao Tian took a sip of coffee and said with a half-smile, "How do you feel about being newlywed?"
Liu Mengmeng came over and blinked: "Do you feel anything?"
Seeing their frivolous expressions, Ruan Yan turned away and pretended not to understand: "What do you mean? How do you feel?"
Liu Mengmeng said directly: "It's you and Lu Da, what's it like living together?"
Ruan Yan shook her head.
"You haven't moved in together yet?" Liu Mengmeng was surprised. "So, after you got your marriage certificate, you both went back to your separate homes, and then University Lu went on a business trip right after that?"
Ruan Yan nodded: "Bingo——"
"It's amazing that Mr. Lu can leave his beautiful newlywed wife at home and go on a business trip for a few days without saying anything. He is indeed a number one workaholic and is very patient." Liu Mengmeng marveled.
"After all, we, Lu Da, are not ordinary people," Zhao Tian turned around and asked Ruan Yan, "So when do you plan to move there?"
Ruan Yan: "Probably in the next few days."
That's why she wanted to go shopping with them.
After coffee, they went to IKEA.
"What? Mr. Lu lives right next door to you!" Liu Mengmeng, who just learned about this for the first time, exclaimed, "No wonder you were able to keep it a secret. It turns out you've been doing this in secret all along!"
Ruan Yan laughed and hit her: "What do you mean by secretly crossing Chencang? He and I have always had a pure relationship, okay?"
Liu Mengmeng winked and said, "Yes, yes, a pure love, a pure kiss, a pure..."
"Fuck you!" Ruan Yan quickly covered her open mouth.
A few people strolled to the doll area on the third floor, laughing and joking, and couldn't walk anymore when they saw all those little cat, dog and monkey toys.
Ruan Yan liked this and that, and before she knew it, she had filled up half of the shopping cart.
In addition, she also bought some decorative paintings, bedside lamps, carpets, bonsai and other items.
Liu Mengmeng chuckled: "You definitely can't carry so many things by yourself. Tiantian and I will help you carry them back. By the way, you can visit Lu Da's house."
Zhao Tian pulled her collar and said, "Could you please not make such a lewd expression? It's like we're sneaking around to spy on someone."
"Well, I've never been to Lu Da's house. I'm just curious," Liu Mengmeng turned around and asked with narrowed eyes, "Aren't you curious?"
"I..." Zhao Tian's tone fluctuated, and he coughed dryly, "Yes, a little, but Mr. Lu values privacy. What if he doesn't like others coming to his house?"
She looked at Ruan Yan: "How about you test his attitude first?"
Ruan Yan said, "It should be fine, I'm just going to sit for a while."
But he still silently took out his cell phone and sent a message to Lu Peishi.
Liu Mengmeng, Zhao Tian, and I went shopping at IKEA and bought a lot of things.
Lu Peishi replied quickly: [Yes, are you buying things for living with me?]
[Yes, there were too many things, so they helped me carry them back.]
[Do you mind? If so, I'll just have the seller deliver it to your door.]
In just over ten seconds, Lu Peishi's reply popped up.
"I don't mind. You are also the master of this house. You can make your own decisions in the future. Don't ask me."
There was an unstoppable smile on her lips, and she stared at his message, unable to suppress the upward curve of her smile.
I just replied with an "Oh" when Liu Mengmeng leaned over to me while biting her ice cream.
"Oh my, look at that lustful face. Even chatting on WeChat can be so affectionate. Is marriage really that good? It makes me want to get married."
Ruan Yan put away her phone and said seriously, "First of all, you need to have a boyfriend."
"You, you, you, Xiao Yanyan, you are provoking me! You are so bad!"
"Okay, okay, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'll treat you to chicken wings," Ruan Yan said, putting her arm around her shoulders, "Let's go!"
"Where are you going?" she asked confusedly.
Ruan Yan held Zhao Tian's arm with her other hand and smiled with narrowed eyes: "I'll take you to visit my new home--"

The night before Lu Peishi left Jiangcheng, his partner Liu Tang specially organized a dinner for him.
Everyone sitting in the seats was a prominent figure in Jiangcheng. The person sitting next to Lu Peishi was Director Qiao from the Bidding Office.
Director Qiao is about fifty years old, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He is gentle and elegant, very thin, and his every move reveals the unique majesty of a person in a high position.
Liu Tang actively stood up to add more wine for them and complimented them from time to time.
"Director Qiao, our famous local Parkview Hotel and Forest Museum were both designed by Mr. Lu. The Forest Museum alone has won numerous awards both domestically and internationally, and has raised Jiangcheng's profile internationally. Mr. Lu has made an indelible contribution."
Lu Peishi simply said, "Mr. Liu, thank you for the compliment. This is the joint achievement of me and our team."
Director Qiao smiled and said, "Mr. Lu is not only outstanding in appearance, but he has also achieved so much at such a young age. He is truly a rare talent."
Lu Peishi replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Thank you Director Qiao for your compliments. I still need to keep working hard."
Lu Peishi could see that Director Qiao deliberately kept a distance from them. Perhaps he didn't care about this dinner, or perhaps he was deliberately manipulating people's hearts. In short, he always maintained a lukewarm attitude.
Liu Tang may have noticed it as well, so he kept warming up to liven up the atmosphere.
As the dinner was about to end, Liu Tang immediately said flatteringly, "Director Qiao, President Lu, I've booked a private room at the South Mansion. A few of my artist friends will be coming over soon. I hope you two will do me the honor of staying with us."
Liu Tang mentioned the names of several artists, two of whom were popular idol actresses, which showed his sincerity.
Unexpectedly, Lu Peishi directly refused and said, "Boss Liu, I have something else to do, so I won't go over."
Liu Tang was embarrassed. From the first day Lu Peishi arrived in Jiangcheng, he had specially organized a banquet to welcome him, but he declined on the grounds of feeling unwell. He gave the same reason for the next few days.
Liu Tang had invited Lu Peishi, the great Buddha, to the dinner tonight in the name of Director Qiao, but he didn't expect that he would refuse so bluntly at this moment.
"This... Mr. Lu, please give me some face. It's a rare opportunity for us all to gather together today." As he said this, Liu Tang secretly gestured to him in the direction of Director Qiao.
The other people at the table also followed suit.
Lu Peishi smiled faintly: "I'm not deliberately spoiling the fun, it's just that my wife has been in a bad mood recently. Every night when I return to the hotel, I have to video chat with her, otherwise she can't sleep. Mr. Liu, I understand your kindness, but I really can't leave."
Liu Tang was stunned. He glanced at Assistant Zhao, who stood behind Lu Peishi without changing his expression. He wondered if Lu Peishi had always been a wealthy bachelor. He was always trying to find a chance to introduce his cousin to someone, and now he was married?
How come he hasn't seen such a big thing on the news?
"I'm ignorant about this... I don't remember the news of Mr. Lu getting married." Liu Tang asked tentatively.
Lu Peishi: "I don't blame you. I just got the certificate recently and haven't had time to announce it to the public yet."
Liu Tang hurriedly said, "Congratulations, Mr. Lu! You two must be very loving, and Mrs. Lu is so lucky!"
Lu Peishi smiled faintly: "I am lucky to marry her."
Liu Tang followed up by saying, "Yes, you two are both blessed people. I'm not very good at talking, so don't mind!"
Lu Peishi even brought his wife out, so Liu Tang couldn't say anything more.
He turned and looked at Director Qiao again. Just after he chuckled twice, Director Qiao spoke.
"I'm not going either. My daughter asked me to pick her up from get off work later and wanted me and her mother to have supper with her. She just called to urge me to go."
Liu Tang was dumbfounded. The two most important figures were absent. He had no intention of continuing the party, so he could only follow behind them and diligently see the two big guys off.
When we got downstairs, we saw two cars parked in front of the hotel.
Director Qiao walked in front. Before getting into the car, he suddenly left Liu Tang and turned to look at Lu Peishi: "I heard that President Lu will be leaving tomorrow?"
Lu Peishi replied: "Yes, the flight is tomorrow afternoon."
Director Qiao smiled and said, "Okay, see you later."
It was a very simple sentence, but Lu Peishi found that his attitude seemed much friendlier than at the beginning. He didn't know if it was his illusion.
After Liu Tang waved goodbye to Director Qiao's car as it drove away, he immediately came to see Lu Peishi off.
"Mr. Lu, I apologize for my poor hospitality this time."
"Director Qiao's temperament is like this, always moody, but he has the final say in this bidding project, so we dare not neglect him."
"But he's quite impartial and well-known for being a caring person. In that respect, he's very similar to you, Mr. Lu."
…
Lu Peishi replied politely and got into the car.
Special Assistant Zhao followed and when he was closing the door, his clothes got stuck accidentally. He pulled it gently and something slipped out from the inside of his pocket and rolled to the side of Lu Peishi's leather shoes.
Special Assistant Zhao quickly picked up the things.
Lu Peishi glanced over and saw a small gift box with beautiful packaging.
Special Assistant Zhao explained awkwardly, "This is a gift for my family."
Lu Peishi hummed and asked casually, "What did you buy?"
"A small bracelet," said Special Assistant Zhao with another chuckle, "I always bring her a small gift whenever I go somewhere. It's not a very expensive gift, but she's always very happy when she sees it."
Every time Special Assistant Zhao mentioned his wife, he couldn't help but reveal a shy yet happy expression on his face. In the past, Lu Pei always felt a little sour when looking at him, but things are different now. Now he can finally stand up straight.
"Oh," Lu Peishi retracted his gaze, "That's good."
The car moved forward slowly.
Perhaps thinking that this work would be over and he could go back to rest tomorrow, Special Assistant Zhao felt very relaxed and chatted casually with Lu Peishi.
Speaking of the dinner just now, Special Assistant Zhao casually mentioned: "You just mentioned that you were getting married. Was that just an excuse to deceive Mr. Liu?"
Lu Peishi: “No.”
Special Assistant Zhao didn't hear clearly, or perhaps he simply didn't think about it, and continued: "That Director Qiao has always ignored General Manager Liu's flattery. He seems to be an upright, fair and strict person..."
Special Assistant Zhao kept talking about his own topics.
Lu Peishi suddenly interrupted: "I just said no."
"Huh?" Special Assistant Zhao was confused and didn't know what he meant for a moment.
"I said, marriage is not an excuse," Lu Peishi said calmly, "I really got married."
His words successfully made Special Assistant Zhao's pupils widen instantly, and his face was full of disbelief.
"Mr. Lu, you mean you...you got married?!" Special Assistant Zhao was stunned. He had no idea when Lu Peishi got married!
Lu Peishi was very satisfied with his reaction and took the initiative to say, "Well, you know that person too."
Special Assistant Zhao was even more confused. Someone he knew? But he couldn't connect Lu Peishi with any of the opposite sex he knew.
After a while, he scratched the back of his head and said, "Mr. Lu, can I ask who your wife is?"
Lu Peishi stroked his sleeves and said calmly, "Ruan Yan."
!!
As Lu Peishi expected, Special Assistant Zhao was shocked again.
He looked out the window calmly.
The lights and decorations on both sides of the road were twinkling, but they could not hide the complacency that danced in his eyes.

The next morning, Lu Peishi went to the shopping mall next to the hotel alone.
Yesterday, Special Assistant Zhao said that every time he went on a business trip, he would buy a gift for his wife. Lu Peishi thought this was a good habit.
So, today he also came out to choose a gift.
I wandered around the mall aimlessly and glanced up at a large advertisement at the door of a jewelry store. It was of a couple. The man was half-kneeling on the ground holding up a ring, and the woman, wearing a veil, was holding her face excitedly, with a group of friends cheering behind them.
Lu Peishi looked around and then walked into the store.
The sharp-eyed shop assistants came over enthusiastically.
Seeing Lu Peishi stop in front of one of the display cabinets, the clerk's voice immediately rang out enthusiastically.
"Excuse me, sir, would you like to buy a ring?"
Lu Peishi admitted generously: "Yeah."
The other party asked again: "Are you buying it for your girlfriend?"
"I'm married," he said, his lips curled up slightly, his tone calm, yet with a hint of boasting, "I bought it for my wife."
The clerk smiled and asked, "Excuse me, are you newlyweds?"
"Yes," he said, looking at the rows of sparkling rings in the glass cabinet, quite happy to discuss this topic, "We just got married not long ago."
"Congratulations, sir." The clerk noticed where his gaze was and quickly took out three diamond rings from the display cabinet and introduced them to him one by one.
"This ring has a simple and elegant design, featuring a pear-shaped diamond as the center stone. Its delicate lines create a graceful and elegant look..."
"The ring next to it features a pear-shaped brilliant diamond at its center, surrounded by 20 round-cut diamonds. It shimmers beautifully, combining classic and modern elements, symbolizing pure and eternal love..."
Lu Peishi picked up the pear-shaped diamond ring and looked at it, imagining how Ruan Yan would look wearing it.
Shining, pure, everlasting love.
This suits her perfectly.
"Okay, this is it." He said with a slight smile on his face.
