"Sister Wan, come home with me tonight..."
"No, my sister finally came back, I have to fight for the opportunity to have an unspoken rule."
"Haha, you're being sexist, aren't you? Sister, my mom misses you so much, why don't you come to my house!"
…
It was already past ten o'clock when the banquet ended. The group of people walked towards the alley entrance and urged Ye Wan to follow them home.
Ye Wan's arms were held tightly by Lu Cheng.
He rubbed his head and indicated that he was not going anywhere as he had to send him to school tomorrow. Lu Cheng's stern face finally relaxed and he chased Jiang Ke'er to play with the little cat.
Cars whizzed away one after another, and the surroundings became quiet again. Ye Wan looked around and only Lu Changchuan was left by his side. "Where's Lu Cheng?"
"Kidnapped by Jiang Xiaomiao!"
Lu Changchuan raised his chin and smiled.
Jiang Ke'er stuck her head out of the Jiang family's car as it drove away and shouted, "Sister, send it back early tomorrow morning. It won't delay the start of school!"
Ye Wan: ...
"Let's go!"
Lu Changchuan walked up to the girl, held her hand, and they turned and walked home.
The night in the imperial capital was too bright, and the bright stars in the night sky were almost invisible. Only the morning star was dimly visible in the distant horizon.
Staring at the star, Ye Wan took Lu Changchuan's arm and turned around to ask him, "Lu Changchuan, did I ever tell you about Ye Mengmeng running away from home?"
???
Speaking of Ye Mengmeng, that was before she was four years old.
Lu Changchuan shook his head, "Did you bully him?"
"No."
Ye Wan denied it and said with a funny face: "I remember that year when he just started kindergarten. Not long after school started, the kindergarten took a group of chickens and ducks and chicks and ducklings to tell them about the origin of life. Then when he got home from school, Ye Mengmeng ran to ask his mother where he came from and whether his mother laid eggs and his father hatched him."
"Dad casually said that he found it in the trash can."
Lu Changchuan shook his head.
Ye Wan curled her lips, "Your childhood was really boring."
"When I was little, my dad also said that I was picked up from a trash can. I cried for several days, and my mom made strawberry cakes for a week before I believed that I was really her child."
Ye Wan suppressed a smile and said, "Ye Mengmeng has a worse temper than me. Mom got angry after Dad said that. She took a spatula and beat him all over the kitchen. When Mom calmed down and went to look for him, she found that he had already run away from home with his little schoolbag on his back."
"Then what?"
Lu Changchuan asked curiously, "Your family must be very worried. How long have you been looking for him?"
In the darkness of the night, the girl smiled with her eyebrows curved, "How could he be allowed to run away for so long? He was found by the security guards as soon as he reached the gate of the community and was sent home."
The Ye family's villa carries the happiness of their family.
Dad turned on the TV but didn't watch it. He tuned it to the economic news channel and turned it up to the highest volume. While listening, he helped Mom in the kitchen.
The nanny beside them didn't know whether to do it or not, so she could only give the kitchen to them and carry the floor scrubber to clean the already spotless home again.
My mother claims that she wants to be the most beautiful and elegant lady in the wealthy family of Sicheng, but whenever she has free time, she runs to the kitchen, either baking strawberry muffins for her favorite daughter or making her favorite pizza for her beloved youngest son. All the leftovers from the process are used to feed her husband.
"Lu Changchuan, thank you!"
Ye Wan paused and looked at the man tenderly, "Thank you for buying that villa when you knew nothing."
"Thank you for staying by my side silently and pampering me the way I want."
"Lu Changchuan, thank you, and I love you!"
In the dimly lit alley, in front of the two stone lions in front of the Lu family's old house, Ye Wan stood on tiptoe to kiss Lu Changchuan.
The weather is cold, and the peak season before the Spring Festival is coming. My dear children, please be careful! Wash your hands before entering the house, drink plenty of water every day, keep a calm mind, eat well, drink well and sleep well!
Be happy every day and keep a good mood!
God will not let down anyone who lives seriously!
