He pinched her face and asked, "What did you call me?"
Jiang Xiaoci blushed and cried out repeatedly, "I was wrong, Brother Lu! Brother Lu!"
Lu Zhoushan chuckled and looked at her with an especially tender gaze, "That's not right."
Jiang Xiaoci frowned, blinking his big watery eyes, wondering, "What's wrong? I always call you like this."
"Then I'm unhappy now, you have to change your name." Lu Zhoushan said.
Jiang Xiaoci became more and more confused, and her face turned redder. "What's your name?"
Lu Zhoushan suddenly moved closer to her, and Jiang Xiaoci couldn't help but hold her breath. The man's handsome eyebrows and eyes instantly enlarged in front of her eyes.
She could even clearly see the teardrop mole at the corner of his eye. His warm breath brushed against her face, instantly occupying all her senses.
Although they are engaged, isn't it inappropriate for them to be so intimate in public?
Just when Jiang Xiaoci was daydreaming, he suddenly leaned close to her ear and whispered something in a low voice with a smile on his face.
Jiang Xiaoci's face turned red instantly.
She bit her lip, put her arms around his neck, stood on tiptoe close to his ear, and called out, "Brother Lu!"
The soft voice was like the chirping of an oriole or a swallow. His breathing paused for a moment, and Lu Zhoushan was still in a daze.
Jiang Xiaoci broke free from him with a laugh, turned around and ran away.
On the other side, Lu Yaozu felt jealous whenever he thought of the sweet love between Jiang Xiaoci and his uncle.
He was under strict control by his family during this period and hadn't visited Miaomiao for a long time.
Today I finally had the chance to sneak out, and naturally I went to look for her again.
Miaomiao was being scolded by her family at the moment. Her mother pinched her daughter's arm, furious.
"You silly girl, what's wrong with your brother taking some of your things? How dare you make such a fuss? I raised you up like this, and you eat and drink at home. Aren't all your things from this family?"
Miaomiao reluctantly dodged, while shouting unconvincedly, "That... that's a gold-plated pendant someone gave me. It's so small, but it cost 6 yuan. What should I do if he takes it and someone asks me about it?"
"Someone gave it to you?" Daddy's eyes widened. "Who is so generous as to give you a gold-plated pendant?"
The mother rolled her eyes in annoyance: "Who else could it be? It's the one from the Lu family."
Dad was sipping the cheapest sweet potato wine. At this moment, the face of this middle-aged man in his forties was red.
He said in a gruff voice, "Girl, I'm telling you, this grandson of the old Lu family is really generous. The pear syrup candies, canned fruits, and even the Guangqi brand biscuits in your room are really not cheap. Ordinary people can't afford them. You'd better take them with him as soon as possible."
Before Miaomiao could speak, her mother sneered, "Third brother, you think your daughter doesn't want to be with someone else? That's because she's not talented enough and her family doesn't like her."
Miaomiao knew that her parents preferred boys to girls, but she never expected her mother to look down on her so much, and she couldn't help feeling aggrieved.
"Does that mean they don't like me? It's because you asked for too much betrothal gift."
