Chapter 24: Living in the same room
Hearing what Mrs. Lu said, Mu Nanyan's mouth twitched.
"If Grandma knew we were just a contract couple, maybe she wouldn't say that. It seems like Lu Yiran really doesn't care who he marries. He didn't choose me because I'm easy to deal with, right?"
Mu Nanyan thought about Lu Yiran's promise to give her five million plus an apartment after the divorce. She suddenly felt that she seemed to be getting less, but now the contract had been signed and nothing could be changed. Mu Nanyan still smiled and replied to the old lady:
"Don't worry, grandma, Yiran and I are doing well now, and he treats me very well."
"Okay, as long as you're fine, I hope you can be the one to heal Yiran."
After listening to Lu Yiran's childhood experiences, Mu Nanyan felt that Lu Yiran was much more pitiful than herself. At least her mother loved her, while Lu Yiran had never felt love since childhood. His parents were both there, but they didn't love him. Mu Nanyan couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic towards Lu Yiran, but she felt that she didn't have the ability to be the one to heal him, and she wouldn't be that person. After she and Lu Yiran divorced, he would definitely find the girl he truly loved.
Mu Nanyan smiled at the old lady without saying anything. Later, the old lady told Mu Nanyan a lot of interesting things, and the two of them chatted happily. When Lu Yiran came out to look for Mu Nanyan, he saw the two of them sitting on a bench in the park and talking happily.
"This woman is really good at pretending. She actually made grandma so happy."
He watched from a distance for a while, then walked over and said to grandma:
"Grandma, it's getting late. Nan Yan and I need to get ready to go back."
When Mu Nanyan heard that they were leaving, she was about to get up and say goodbye to the old lady, but Old Lady Lu grabbed her hand in time and stopped her from getting up.
"Yanyan, please sit down."
Then he turned to Lu Yiran and said:
"Why are you leaving? Tomorrow is the weekend and you don't have to work. You and Yanyan can stay here tonight. Have breakfast tomorrow before leaving. My granddaughter-in-law and I haven't talked enough."
Seeing that his grandmother disagreed, Lu Yiran turned his gaze to Mu Nanyan and signaled her to say that he didn't want to stay in the old house today.
When Mu Nanyan saw Lu Yiran looking at him, she quickly looked away and looked at the flowers and plants next to her, as if this matter had nothing to do with her. After all, it didn't matter where Mu Nanyan lived, and she also thought her grandmother was a very nice person and wanted to spend more time with her.
Seeing that Mu Nanyan was unmoved, Lu Yiran knew that he might not be able to leave today.
"Good boy, Mu Nanyan, wait and see how I deal with you tonight."
Lu Yiran's dislike for Mu Nanyan deepened even more. This woman was really disobedient and went against him every day. Now that she had her grandmother's support, she was even more fearless and didn't take him, Lu Yiran, seriously at all.
"Okay, grandma, we'll stay here tonight. You guys continue chatting while I go upstairs to take care of some work."
"All you do all day is deal with work. When you finally have some free time, you don't even bother to spend time with Yanyan. Forget it, just go ahead."
Old Lady Lu lectured Lu Yiran again before letting him go. Lu Yiran blamed Mu Nanyan for this and glared at her when he left.
Mu Nanyan expressed her confusion. I just didn’t speak up for him. What’s the big deal? I didn’t provoke him. Why are you glaring at me? If you have the guts, glare at me.
Later, her grandmother took her to visit other places in the old house. It must be said that the old house was really big. It took her an entire afternoon to walk around and she almost got lost.
Overall, Mu Nanyan had a very pleasant day today. After dinner, she watched some TV series with the old lady. Lu Yiran was always by her side, but he didn't say anything.
After watching an episode of the drama, the old lady said to Mu Nanyan:
"Yan Yan, you have been with me, an old woman, for a long time today. You and Yi Ran should go back to your room and rest early."
When Mu Nanyan heard that she and Lu Yiran were going back to their rooms to rest, her mind suddenly froze. She had forgotten that this was an old house, and that she and Lu Yiran were acting like a loving couple. How could they possibly live separately like they did when they were at Yujing Tiancheng? She finally understood why Lu Yiran had insisted on taking her away that afternoon.
She didn't know what to do now, so she could only ask Lu Yiran for help. However, Lu Yiran just smiled contemptuously, and then said to the old lady:
"Okay grandma, I'll take Nan Yan back to the room."
After Lu Yiran finished speaking, he took Mu Nanyan's hand and walked upstairs. Mu Nanyan wanted to break free, but Lu Yiran held her hand even tighter. Mu Nanyan then realized that the old lady was still watching them. They had been acting all day and couldn't mess it up at the last minute. She could only give up resistance and go back to Lu Yiran's bedroom with her.
The old lady watched from behind, her eyes narrowed into slits from her laughter. How could she not see that something was amiss between the two? Her informant at Yujing Tiancheng said they had always slept in separate rooms, so she had deliberately invited them to stay the night. As long as tonight was over, the relationship between the two would definitely become closer.
As soon as Mu Nanyan and Lu Yiran returned to the bedroom and closed the door, Mu Nanyan pulled her hand out directly. Seeing her like this, Lu Yiran smiled contemptuously.
"Didn't you want to stay? Why are you pretending now? Have you been wanting to come into my bedroom and sleep in my bed for a long time?"
Mu Nanyan really didn't know how to explain it now. After all, it was she who didn't speak up for Lu Yiran at that time, but at that time she didn't think that the two of them would live in the same room.
Unable to explain, Mu Nanyan simply gave up and pretended not to hear what he said. She began to look around the bedroom, thinking about where she would sleep tonight.
Seeing that he was being ignored, Lu Yiran was a little bit unbelievable. He was the president of Dingsheng Group, who would dare to turn a deaf ear to his words? But now this woman in front of him actually ignored him! When Lu Yiran realized it, he was very angry, his face was gloomy and frightening. However, Mu Nanyan was still observing the room and did not notice Lu Yiran behind him.
The room is dominated by a deep, cool gray hue. Several abstract artworks adorn the walls, each stroke imbued with profound emotion and exceptional taste, quietly revealing the owner's hidden inner world. In the center of the bedroom lies an oversized king-size bed, its frame crafted from premium Italian hand-carved solid wood and covered in premium Egyptian long-staple cotton, boasting a silky texture and a jade-like luster. In one corner, a sophisticated private study awaits, its towering bookshelves overflowing with a wide range of books, from classic literature to business management. On the other side of the bedroom, a vintage leather sofa sits beside a small coffee table, furnished with tea sets.
