When Lu Shen learned that he was going to the Li family, he felt no emotion, as if he had already expected this day to come.
"Lu Shen, why aren't you nervous at all?" Li Yuehuan asked anxiously, her beautiful eyes filled with worry.
“My dad and my two older brothers are not easy to get along with!” Li Yuehuan reminded him, frowning.
Lu Shen reached out and gently pinched Li Yuehuan's chubby little face, a doting smile appearing on his lips: "Silly girl, don't worry, trust me, I can handle everything."
"Tomorrow, you just sit quietly and watch. Leave everything else to me." Lu Shen gently comforted Li Yuehuan, his eyes shining with determination.
Seeing his confidence, Li Yuehuan's anxiety gradually subsided.
After sending Huanhuan home, Lu Shen also rushed home and told her about his trip to the Li family the next day.
Zheng Lanxin was stunned for a moment, then became delighted after realizing what she meant.
"You've been dating for almost two years now, so you really should visit her."
Then she started to worry again, "But it's so late now, and Mom doesn't have time to prepare a gift for your visit. It wouldn't be good if we were impolite tomorrow."
"Mom, don't worry, I'm all ready."
Lu Shen comforted his mother, explaining that he had originally planned to visit his future in-laws during this trip back, and that he wanted to get married as soon as they graduated.
Lu Zhenhao sat quietly to the side, listening intently. Over the past two days, he had learned from Lan'er that his son had a girl he liked. As a father, he knew he should offer his full support and encouragement at this time.
He gently kneaded the soft, delicate skin in Zheng Lanxin's palm, then reached out and gently smoothed the worry between her brows, saying softly, "Lan'er, don't worry, I've got you covered. Tomorrow morning, I'll definitely prepare a generous gift for our son." His words revealed a firmness and confidence.
After thinking for a moment, Zheng Lanxin considered her husband's current status and wealth, and her worries gradually dissipated.
She gripped Lu Zhenhao's sleeve tightly and said in a soft voice, "This time we must prepare well for our son! My only wish is for Huanhuan to become our daughter-in-law." Her words revealed her affection and anticipation for Li Yuehuan.
Lu Zhenhao patted her hand gently and nodded indulgently.
Lu Shen hesitated for two seconds, then looked at Lu Zhenhao and said, "No need for that trouble, I've already made preparations."
In Lu Shen's heart, he still couldn't accept Lu Zhenhao's help with a clear conscience.
Lu Zhenhao looked at Lu Shen with sincere eyes and said, "Xiao Shen, how about this? You prepare one, and Dad will prepare one too. After all these years, Dad wants to make it up to you." His voice was full of sincerity and self-reproach, as if he hoped to use this method to shorten the distance between himself and his son.
Zheng Lanxin couldn't bear to see her husband looking so dejected, so she quickly stepped forward, gently patted Lu Shen's shoulder, and said softly, "Xiao Shen, accept your father's help, okay?"
However, Lu Shen just pursed his lips tightly, met his mother's expectant gaze, and after a long while, finally agreed, "Okay."
She paused for a moment, then said, "Mom, you two talk, I'll go back to my room first."
He didn't know how to get along with his father, who had suddenly appeared, and coupled with his cold personality, the two were like familiar strangers.
Zheng Lanxin was afraid that Lu Zhenhao would feel uncomfortable, so she quickly comforted him, "Zhenhao, don't take it to heart. Xiao Shen is just not familiar with you."
Lu Zhenhao grabbed her hand, pulled her to sit on the chair, and smiled slightly. "This is all I owe my son. I'm willing to spend my whole life making it up to him."
If he hadn't been too busy at the time and hadn't taken his wife's feelings into account, they wouldn't have been separated for twenty years.
Lan'er won't develop any health problems during her postpartum period. Once they arrive in Beijing, he will hire the best doctors to treat her.
Zheng Lanxin quickly reached out and covered her mouth, "Don't say that, I was wrong too."
If she had given men a little more trust, the two of them wouldn't have missed out on so many years.
"Lan'er, you are so beautiful, I can't resist you." Lu Zhenhao pressed his forehead against hers and gently stroked her smooth face. "I love you."
After saying that, he lowered his head and sealed her soft lips with his, stealing her breath inch by inch.
The two kissed passionately on the chair until Zheng Lanxin, fearing her son would see, quickly made the man stop.
The next morning, less than an hour later, Lu Zhenhao had his assistant prepare a generous gift, filling a corner with all sorts of unusual items.
When Lu Zhenhao saw Lu Shen walking over, he said earnestly, "Xiao Shen, is there anything else you want to add? Dad will have someone drive you there later."
She spoke as if afraid her son would be dissatisfied.
Lu Shen looked at the exquisite gift boxes one after another, and his lips twitched. It seemed that his father was really rich and powerful.
"You don't need to bring that much. I'll just bring a box of peach gum and a box of bird's nest."
Peach gum and bird's nest are in high demand and cannot be purchased without connections.
"Isn't that too little? Your mother will be unhappy later."
Left with no other option, Lu Zhenhao had to involve his wife.
"I'll explain. By the way, is Mom still asleep?"
Lu Shen frowned as he looked at the tightly closed door on the east side.
For the first time, Lu Zhenhao felt embarrassed. He clenched his fist and pressed it to his lips. "Well, your mother was tired last night. It's good to let her sleep a little longer."
Lu Shen wasn't an naive young man, so he naturally understood what Lu Zhenhao was saying, but as his son, he still offered a word of advice.
"Mom's health isn't very good, so please be careful."
"Yes, yes, Dad will be careful."
A hint of worry flashed in Lu Zhenhao's eyes. He had indeed gone a bit too far last night, and he wondered if it might have hurt Lan'er.
Fifteen minutes later, Lu Shen arrived at the Li family compound with generous gifts.
"Young master, is this the place?"
The assistant was a man in his thirties with a blank expression. He was efficient and capable.
Lu Shen responded softly, looking at the magnificent military district gate. He was deeply moved. He remembered the first time he came here, he thought that he and Huanhuan would never be able to start a relationship. Fortunately, he persevered.
"Lu Shen, you've arrived."
Li Yuehuan ran over breathlessly, and before the man could react, she jumped onto him, wrapping her legs around his waist like a koala.
Lu Shen quickly stopped her, smiling at her indulgently, "Did you miss me?"
"I've been thinking about it all night."
Li Yuehuan was pacing back and forth when she suddenly saw someone standing behind her. Her smile froze instantly, her legs went weak, and she quickly stood up straight.
The assistant lowered his eyes, stepped forward, and said respectfully, "Young Master, shall I help you take these things inside?"
"No need, you can go back first." Lu Shen and Li Yuehuan held hands.
