In the days that followed, Lu Lin stayed by Gu Mingyue's side at all times.
Gu Mingyue complained to Lu Wanwan, "If you didn't know better, you'd think I was a three-year-old who needed my parents to be with me. He's making me feel like I have no personal space at all."
Lu Wanwan also felt that her brother had been acting a bit strange lately, so she decisively supported her sister-in-law and stood up for her brother to settle accounts.
"Brother, this won't do. Young girls hate it when people don't know their place. If you're with your wife, she can't go out and have fun with me anymore."
"But doesn't she spend most of her time with me?"
Lu Lin was right. Ever since the surgery, Gu Mingyue had accompanied him to the hospital.
The two of them spent the most time together; even if it wasn't him following Gu Mingyue, it was Gu Mingyue following him.
If he didn't have personal space, then he didn't have any either in front of Gu Mingyue.
After hearing this, Lu Wanwan pursed her lips, as if it really was true.
"But you can't be too close. Apart from going to the hospital, your sister-in-law needs her own space. If you're so clingy, she'll get annoyed."
"Alright."
Lu Lin's main concern was that some clueless people might try to get close to Gu Mingyue.
Although the two of them agreed not to be clingy, as Lu Lin said, they actually spent the most time together.
Having nothing to do that day, Lu Lin decided to take Gu Mingyue to his house for a visit.
"You're so young, and you already own your own house?"
I didn't realize you were so wealthy.
Gu Mingyue straightened her back instantly when she thought of the chests of gold and silver treasures in her space. Lu Lin was rich, and she was no less so.
“It was a gift from my grandparents when I came of age. I’ve kept it tidy up but never lived in it. My grandparents said it could be used as a wedding room.”
Gu Mingyue, pushing the wheelchair, paused, realizing that this was exactly what she was looking for.
She gave a soft snort and said, "Then I'll have to take a good look."
Gu Mingyue originally thought it was a single-story building, but she never expected it to be a courtyard house, and it was extremely close to a certain square.
When they stopped at the entrance of the courtyard house, she looked left and right, and asked Lu Lin incredulously, "Are you sure we haven't come to the wrong place?"
Lu Lin smiled and nodded, "How could I possibly get my own place wrong?"
There was a ramp at the entrance of the courtyard house, so Gu Mingyue pushed her wheelchair effortlessly.
Lu Lin handed her the key, "Future mistress, please open the door."
Lu Mingyue made a smug expression, "Then I won't be polite."
Whether in his past life or now, this is the first time he has ever truly stepped into a courtyard house.
She had visited her grandmother's house in the countryside, where the house was laid out similarly to a courtyard house.
Gu Mingyue really liked this kind of architecture, where everyone had their own independent space, ensuring a high level of privacy.
At the same time, it also maintains family ties well; everyone living in the same courtyard can get along harmoniously without interfering with each other.
The courtyard house is quite large now, and as Lu Lin said, it has been renovated.
Although some parts have been repaired, it is still clear that the historical features have been preserved.
Gu Mingyue looked around; it was a courtyard house with three entrances and three exits.
Apart from the bedroom which had some items, all the other rooms were empty.
"What a waste! Such a nice room, why didn't you rent it out?"
With the development of China, Beijing has seen a large influx of migrants, and many people have nowhere to stay, leading to the gradual development of the taxi industry.
“This house took a lot of effort to build, and I don’t want anyone to damage it. I want it restored to its original state. Besides, this is our future marital home. The previous owner hasn’t lived here yet, so how can we rent it out?”
Lu Lin is right. If she had such a big house, she wouldn't want to rent it out either.
Gu Mingyue became more and more satisfied with what she saw. She felt that she should also buy some properties in Beijing to plan for her future life.
"You want to buy a house? Then do you want to move out? This is your home, you can stay as long as you want."
Gu Mingyue pouted, "That's your house, not mine. I want to buy my own house."
Regardless of the era, Chinese people have an obsession with owning a house. They work hard to earn money, hoping to settle down in the city and own their own house, so they don't have to move between different rental rooms.
"That's easy, we'll put the house in your name later."
Lu Mingyue smiled at him and said, "Aren't you afraid I'll take the stuff and run away?"
Lu Lin said confidently, "You're not that kind of person."
If she could take him with her, Lu Lin would even prefer her to take him with her.
"What am I supposed to do with you? You can't cook, you can't do any housework, and you're always throwing tantrums."
Lu Lin said anxiously, "I can learn."
No one is born knowing how to cook or do housework; if they don't know how, they can learn.
It is said that if you like someone, you must win them over through their stomach. Gu Mingyue has truly won over his stomach.
He also needs to study hard and practice diligently in order to win back Gu Mingyue's heart.
As the two were talking, there was a knock on the door.
Gu Mingyue looked at the doorway, puzzled. "Who's here?"
Lu Lin didn't know either. This house wasn't usually lived in, and he didn't come here often, so logically no one would come over.
Gu Mingyue went to open the door, filled with doubt.
As soon as the door opened, a group of people rushed in, and Gu Mingyue was pushed so hard that she almost fell to the ground.
Lu Lin's eyes sharpened as he looked at the newcomers and said, "Who are you? What do you want? Entering without permission is trespassing."
The leader was a thin young man with a face as long as a shoehorn. He held a wooden stick in his hand and said smugly, "Who is Gu Mingyue?"
Gu Mingyue: ?
Why do I need to see her?
She was quite certain that she did not recognize the person in front of her.
Who are you?
"You don't need to know who I am. We've heard that you're harboring capitalists here. Someone reported it. Come with us."
The man with the long, narrow face gestured to his underlings to kidnap Gu Mingyue.
Huo Zheng shouted sternly, "Stop! Do you know where you are? You have no documents and what right do you have to take people away?"
Gu Mingyue quickly hid behind him, feeling a little uneasy as she looked at his aggressive appearance.
With Huo Zheng here, they probably wouldn't dare to do anything to me, right?
She kept thinking about who she had offended that someone would go to such lengths to find her here and kidnap her.
After thinking for a long time, I still couldn't find anyone to suspect.
Her parents should be in Hong Kong by now, Gu Mingyuan is carrying manure in the countryside, and her spot has been removed from the list of those going to the countryside.
Logically speaking, no one should know her whereabouts.
"Isn't this just a dilapidated house? Why do we need to report to you what we're doing?"
Without a word, the man with the long face ordered his men to take action.
"If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences. Don't blame us for being impolite."
Lu Lin snorted coldly and said, "Fine, bring it on if you dare. I want to see who's going to be impolite."
