Chapter 37 Chapter 37 Make money and buy you lots of beautiful things...
37.
Jiang Nian shook Lu Zhao's hand firmly, then took it back and led him home, saying seriously, "Why are you reluctant? I'll give you more and better things in the future, not just ties."
Lu Zhao smiled and nodded.
Jiang Nian added, "I'm here, why do you need those external things to give you courage? I'm enough." He is the treasure of their family, and his boyfriend's family must love him very much.
Lu Zhao's smile deepened, and he nodded again: "Okay."
Lan Xin and Jiang Yunlei watched Shen Rong grow up and treated him as their own son. They were naturally very happy to see him and his eldest son together.
As for Lu Zhao, although they were unfamiliar with him, they were both in the business world and knew him well. Furthermore, Lu Zhao was just as talented as Chen Rong, which made Lan Xin and Jiang Yunlei extremely satisfied.
The atmosphere at the Jiang family was joyful and warm, unlike the tense atmosphere in the films, TV shows, and novels Jiang Nian had read. Lu Zhao, Jiang Hao, Lan Xin, and Jiang Yunlei sat on the sofa, chatting happily.
Jiang Nian brought a portion of washed fruit and pulled Chen Rong upstairs.
Last time, Jiang Nian was unable to get anything out of his brother because of his parents' interference. He has been busy meeting his parents these days. Now that he finally has time, Jiang Nian plans to ask Chen Rong.
He was really curious about when the relationship between Shen Rong and Jiang Hao changed.
Chen Rong had expected Jiang Nian to ask him, so he didn't hide anything and told Jiang Nian frankly that it was on the island last time. When the earthquake struck, while everyone else was screaming and running for their lives, Jiang Hao went against the flow of people and grabbed him to protect him.
Chen Rong thought of something and looked at Jiang Nian. The smile on his face became very gentle. He said, "Jiang Nian, do you know that Jiang Hao actually knew that we would go out to play secretly?"
Jiang Nian's eyes widened. His brother knew?
"Then last time in the teahouse..."
"He didn't see you that time." Chen Rong said, "He didn't know exactly which day we would go out to play, but he knew we would go out secretly."
Jiang Nian asked: "When did you know?"
Chen Rong smiled, with a sigh: "I just found out."
Jiang Nian calmed down, and suddenly felt deeply moved. Every time he and Chen Rong sneaked out, they were very happy and proud, thinking that they were geniuses who had done it perfectly.
But that wasn't actually the case. When they first sneaked out, they were nearly discovered by their parents several times, but they were lucky enough to escape.
The parents never suspected anything, not because they were lucky or God was blessing them, but because Jiang Hao was helping them cover up.
Just like when they were little, Jiang Nian was weak, but compared to Jiang Hao, he was still considered naughty. He didn't act alone, he would ask Chen Rong to join him. Unfortunately, every time the two of them got into trouble, they would run into Jiang Hao's nose.
Jiang Hao was a mature young man, stern and unsmiling, with a constant stern expression. Furthermore, he was older than both Jiang Nian and Shen Rong, and his status as their older brother made them instinctively fearful. But when you think about it, Jiang Hao never did anything to them, and even let them leave to clean up their messes.
Jiang Hao is always like this, silently guarding everyone behind their backs.
When Jiang Nian was little, he always stuck to Chen Rong. The two of them were very close, which led to Chen Rong and Jiang Hao running into each other more often. Every year on their birthdays, Christmas, and various other holidays, Jiang Hao would prepare gifts for them.
Jiang Hao is not the kind of person who likes to talk about care and love. Instead of talking, he prefers to do it.
Chen Rong said softly: "Jiang Hao looks cold, but after getting to know him, you will find that he is actually a very good and gentle person."
Jiang Nian immediately said, "You are also very gentle. You and my brother are a perfect match."
He peeled an orange and gave half to Chen Rong, saying, "From now on, you will be my sister-in-law. I will obey your orders!"
Chen Rong was choked and coughed violently. He said, "Who is your sister-in-law?"
Jiang Nian realized his mistake: "Sorry, sorry, I was just hoping my brother would find me a sister-in-law."
Who would have thought that his elder brother would also join their BL family.
Jiang Nian changed his words and said, "Brother."
Chen Rong didn't know whether it was because of the cough or something else, but his cheeks were red. He turned away and said, "Don't shout these nonsense, call me by my name."
Jiang Nian said: "How can that be possible..."
Then, under Shen Rong's gaze, he nodded: "Okay."
The two sat opposite each other, eating fruit in silence. Jiang Nian had never expected that the adult love story described in the book, which belonged to the protagonist, would end up being between Chen Rong and his brother.
Jiang Nian found this kind of relationship very romantic just thinking about it, but he also liked the way he and Lu Zhao were in love.
After they got together, Jiang Nian felt more and more that his initial judgment of Lu Zhao was wrong. He thought Lu Zhao was a mean-spirited vixen who always deliberately seduced him and made him lose control, but he liked it that way.
"Fox. Raccoon. Spirit?" Chen Rong laughed after hearing Jiang Nian's words. "Do you dare to say this to Lu Zhao?"
"Why would I be afraid of that?" Jiang Nian said, "He'll definitely praise me for my accuracy and cleverness."
Chen Rong thought of the time on the island when Lu Zhao was staring at a band-aid in a daze, and couldn't help shaking his head, thinking that no matter how smart or capable a person is, they will become weird when facing the person they like.
The Jiang family’s lunch was very sumptuous, and both the host and the guests enjoyed the meal very much.
It was a happy day, and everyone except Jiang Nian drank and was a little tipsy, so after dinner, Lan Xin asked Jiang Hao and Jiang Nian to take their boyfriends to rest.
Jiang Nian kissed Lu Zhao on the lips as soon as he entered the room. After the kiss, he complained that Lu Zhao didn't know how to restrain himself and seduced him whenever he had time. God knows how hard it was for him to endure.
Lu Zhao held Jiang Nian's waist, lowered his head and kissed his lips, then said with a smile, "My dear, although I am very happy that you took the initiative, I still know the situation. I really didn't do anything."
Jiang Nian thought about it and it seemed that Lu Zhao really did nothing. At most, he just looked at him and picked up food for him.
It turned out that he himself couldn't wait. Jiang Nian's cheeks flushed and he said, "I'm so happy."
How could he be so lucky that he was in love with the person he liked, met her parents, and had the support of his family?
Lu Zhao kissed him again and looked around: "Is this your room?"
Jiang Nian hummed, as if he had just remembered: "I'll show you around."
Jiang Nian's bedroom was large, with soft cushions on the floor and all the necessary furniture and furnishings. Besides that, there was a whole wall of bookshelves. The bookshelves were filled to the brim with books, including classics, novels, and comics. The collection was comparable to that of a small bookstore.
Jiang Nian's bedroom is decorated in warm colors, even the mattress is decorated in warm colors, which is very warm and bright. It is obvious that he is a child who grew up immersed in love.
Lu Zhao walked to the bookshelf and pulled out a book at random. He could see traces of pages being flipped through.
Jiang Nian was beside him: "I was not in good health before and could not go out, so I used these to pass the time. Of course, I don't read those that are too profound and difficult to understand. I mainly read these things that are not very nutritious."
Lu Zhao put the book back with a smile. He noticed two stuffed toys on the bookshelf that looked familiar.
Jiang Nian noticed it and took the doll down and handed it to Lu Zhao: "We caught them a while ago. My parents were worried that it would be bad for their health to have those dolls in the room, so I kept two and put the rest in the warehouse."
Lu Zhao nodded, and Jiang Nian grabbed the doll and continued to walk around the house with Lu Zhao.
He showed Lu Zhao the scenery outside the window and told him interesting stories from his childhood. Half an hour passed by unknowingly.
I took Lu Zhao upstairs, intending to let him rest, but how could he calm down after meeting his parents today? Naturally, he couldn't sleep.
Jiang Nian was reminiscing about the past with Lu Zhao when Lu Zhao's phone suddenly rang with a new message. Lu Zhao glanced at it and said to Jiang Nian, "I may need to discuss something with you."
Jiang Nian asked curiously, "What's the matter?"
Lu Zhao: "Mom and Dad want to see you. Are you free tomorrow to come home with me for dinner?"
Seeing that Lu Zhao's parents were mentally prepared, Jiang Nian waved his hand and said, "Of course there must be one."
Lu Zhao grabbed his waving hand and asked, "Are you nervous?"
"Of course not." Jiang Nian said, "Everyone who has met me doesn't dislike me."
Lu Zhao smiled: "Okay, then I'll go back and tell them that I'll pick you up tomorrow."
Jiang Nian boasted a lot, but when the time came and Lu Zhao notified him to come and pick him up, he was inevitably nervous.
He has a good personality, can talk to anyone, and is indeed liked by the elders, but my boyfriend's parents are different after all and want to leave the best impression.
He walked around the room holding his phone. He wanted to tell Lu Zhao but felt that he couldn't lose face in front of his boyfriend, so he contacted Chen Rong. After all, Chen Rong had experience meeting her boyfriend's parents.
Shen Rong said: "I have no experience."
"Of course not, you just met my parents yesterday..." Jiang Nian trailed off and wilted.
Well, Chen Rong had often visited his house when he was little, and was incredibly close to his parents. Chen Rong certainly had no experience in this area. The two families knew each other well, so Chen Rong didn't need to be nervous about coming over for dinner; coming to his house was like coming home.
There is no other way, Jiang Nian thought, if the enemy comes, we will fight him; if the water comes, we will block it with earth, so we have to go ahead with it.
Lu Zhao arrived quickly and on the way to pick Jiang Nian up, he found that Jiang Nian was very quiet.
When the car slowed down and the Lu family's manor appeared before them, Lu Zhao held Jiang Nian's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Jiang Nian wanted to say he wasn't afraid, but he was really worried. Although his family background was good enough to match Lu Zhao's, his body...
Jiang Nian asked, "Would uncle and aunt mind my health?"
After all, everyone hopes to have someone to accompany their children for a long time.
Lu Zhao carefully observed Jiang Nian's features. Perhaps because of his good mood, Jiang Nian had been in good spirits recently. However, due to his worry, his almond-shaped eyes, which were always full of energy, looked less bright.
Lu Zhao smiled and said, "What's wrong with your body? You can climb over the wall in heavy snow, which many people can't do."
Jiang Nian didn't expect Lu Zhao to mention the first time they met. Thinking of the time when he fell off the wall and fell into Lu Zhao's arms, he couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing people smile, Lu Zhao felt relieved. He tightened his grip and said again, "Don't worry, they will definitely like you."
Jiang Nian and Lu Zhao got out of the car. Lu Zhao held the gift in one hand and took Jiang Nian's hand in the other, leading him into the house. Lu's parents looked at the two holding hands, exchanged glances, and smiled without saying anything.
Mother Lu quickly came over and said, "Xiao Nian is here, come and sit down."
Lu Zhao's mother is about the same age as Lan Xin. Even in her middle age, she looks very beautiful because of her good maintenance and temperament.
Mother Lu took Jiang Nian aside and chatted with him affectionately, asking him how he and Lu Zhao knew each other.
Jiang Nian glanced at Lu Zhao and told him about their first meeting.
Mother Lu was delighted after hearing this. She told Jiang Nian that she had long ago thought about how Lu Zhao's future partner would appear in front of him to attract his attention. Because Lu Zhao was a workaholic, he didn't seem like someone who would be attracted to anyone.
"I didn't expect that." Mother Lu patted Jiang Nian's hand and said, "His significant other actually fell off the wall."
Father Lu said, "I knew my son's significant other must be extraordinary. The way he appeared is indeed different from that of an ordinary person."
Now everyone laughed and the atmosphere was harmonious and happy.
Mother Lu's personality was as straightforward as Lan Xin's. After asking about Jiang Nian and Lu Zhao, she told Jiang Nian some interesting stories about Lu Zhao's childhood.
Seeing how happily they were getting along, Lu Zhao's lips curled up slightly. He stood up and went to the kitchen with Lu's father to check out the meals prepared for today.
They had a very happy meal. During this meeting, Lu's parents only wished them well and did not mention Jiang Nian's health at all. Jiang Nian was very touched. He should have known that Lu's parents must be very good people to have raised such an outstanding child like Lu Zhao.
When leaving the Lu family, Lu's mother stuffed two big red envelopes into Jiang Nian's pockets and told him to come visit often when he was free. The kitchen had already taken note of Jiang Nian's taste and would ask the chef to cook for him next time. Jiang Nian agreed.
Back in the car, Jiang Nian handed the red envelope to Lu Zhao, and Lu Zhao said, "This is for you, keep it."
Jiang Nian said, "Why did you leave it with me when my parents gave it to you yesterday?"
"I'll leave it all with you," Lu Zhao said. "You manage the money in our family. I'll also hand over my salary card later."
Jiang Nian smiled and said, "When I feel better, I will go out to work and make money to buy you lots of beautiful clothes and gifts."
Lu Zhao said he was looking forward to it.
In this way, both couples met their parents. Afterwards, Lan Xin and Jiang Yunlei met with Chen Rong and Lu Zhao's parents. They had a very pleasant chat and both said they were ready to prepare for the wedding.
It’s just that the eldest and youngest sons of the Jiang family are in love at the same time and are both of marriageable age. They are so affectionate now that it seems inappropriate to hold anyone’s wedding first.
Finally, the three families got together and had another meal. They combined the opinions of their children and finally decided to hold the wedding together.
The Jiang family now has double happiness.
