Shen Ruchu was somewhat emotional at the moment, coupled with the observations made by her people in the last few days, her brother seemed to be getting close to a girl.
She seriously felt that her brother was deviating from the family’s interests.
Upon hearing this, Shen Sheng was stunned, before his face turned deathly pale, "Sister, you’ve been having me followed?"
"Well, it’s for your own good."
Shen Ruchu responded quickly, proudly asserting her intentions were good for Shen Sheng.
Then she curled her lips, "Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Don’t harbor any inappropriate intentions. The Shen Family would never accept an ordinary girl for Jiang Qi."
"She won’t be of any help to you."
This blunt statement from Shen Ruchu was essentially telling Shen Sheng-
’You should marry for business.’
Upon hearing this, Shen Sheng’s eyebrows furrowed deeply.
"Must she contribute to my business? The Shen Family is already doing very well."
"Well, even so, there’s no possibility between you two. Not to mention parents’ opinions, she can’t even pass my scrutiny."
Shen Ruchu didn’t bother to say anything else. She spoke very clearly and straightforwardly.
"Aren’t you still obsessed with Lu Nanchen from the neighboring class after all these years?"
"So, is Lu Nanchen of noble birth?"
"He, he’s different. Nobody can compare to him."
"Sister, you’re selfish."
...
Somehow, ever since he left the auction, Lu Nanchen had felt a persistent gaze following him.
He squinted and scanned his surroundings.
At the entrance of the auction hall, he spotted a man.
The moment Lu looked his way, the man turned his back.
This only drew more attention.
Thinking about this, Lu Nanchen’s eyes narrowed further, irritation bubbling up.
"What’s the matter?" Feeling the person next to her slowing down, Yu Ting looked at him and asked a question.
"It’s nothing."
Upon hearing her voice, Lu Nanchen withdrew his gaze, holding Yu Ting’s hand even tighter.
...
After leaving the auction, Yu Ting and Lu Nanchen went to the supermarket to buy some things.
Yu Ting walked ahead, browsing through the products, while Lu Nanchen pushed the shopping cart behind her.
"What does your mother like?"
"She likes pastries, she often eats those."
As a dutiful son, Lu Nanchen was very much familiar with his parents’ preferences. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Yu Ting asked questions every step of the way, and the shopping cart was soon filled with items.
Yu Ting bought everything she felt like buying or thought she should buy.
After paying, both of them, with their hands full of goods, headed home.
Then they started packing their bags, as they were heading to the Lu Family for the New Year the next day.
As Lu Nanchen packed his clothes, he also worried about Yu Ting’s.
"Pack more clothes, we might stay longer, probably visiting relatives."
Lu Nanchen thought for a moment before speaking.
The older generation had this habit.
Not to mention, it was their first year of marriage. It made sense for him to introduce his wife to his relatives.
"Oh..." Hearing what Lu Nanchen said, Yu Ting was thoughtful, "So, should I also pack some nice dresses?"
"That’s not necessary, just make sure to keep warm."
Lu Nanchen quickly refused.
"However, you can take one or two dresses to wear to bed."
He thought, on cold nights with the heater in the room, no matter how little she wore, she wouldn’t catch cold.
...
Time flew by quickly.
The next morning.
In order to arrive early, Yu Ting and Lu Nanchen left the house a little after seven when it was still dark outside.
Their luggage was neatly arranged in the trunk of the car. Lu Nanchen drove, and Yu Ting went back to sleep in the car.
She slept soundly all the way. Shortly after she woke up, they arrived at the old Lu Family estate.
