For the first time, Lu Chen's gaze focused on Cheng Mingyue.
In the sunset, the girl's eyes are sparkling, her lips are pink and tender, and her skin is as white as snow, but her whole face is surprisingly big.
Lu Chen became increasingly confused about Cheng Mingyue.
You could say she was smart, but she allowed Qin Lang, that sanctimonious hypocrite, to deceive her for so long. You could say she was uneducated, but I heard she was only a high school graduate, and yet she was able to think of a way to resolve the crisis through a marriage agreement.
Lu Chen had just started to change his mind about Cheng Mingyue, but when he thought of the bad things she had done to him before, he felt sick again.
Lu Chen turned his head away from Cheng Mingyue and said after a long while, "I can agree to your condition, but what if it is you who wants to leave? What should I say?"
"This condition naturally applies to both of us at the same time!"
Cheng Mingyue didn't understand what Lu Chen meant. If she really met someone she liked one day, would he still hold on to her and not let go?!
Lu Chen glanced at Cheng Mingyue playfully, his eyes shimmering. "What if after a while you change your mind and want to be with Qin Lang again? Should I still help you two? Wouldn't that be all for nothing?"
Cheng Mingyue didn't expect Lu Chen to think so much, and frowned, "Then what do you want to do?"
Lu Chen was in a very good mood at the moment, and even the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously: "Five years! You can't like anyone else within five years, and the same goes for me. After five years, as long as either of us has someone we like, the other party must let go unconditionally.
Besides, words are not enough, we two must prove it in writing!"
"Deal!" Cheng Mingyue stretched out her carrot-like claws and high-fived Lu Chen.
Lu Chen rubbed the warm touch of his palm, his eyes darkened for a moment: "I will go back tonight and write the agreement. I will give it to you tomorrow. You confirm that it is correct and sign it, and then we will get the marriage certificate!"
Lu Chen didn't believe that Cheng Mingyue would change much, nor did he believe in Cheng Mingyue's verbal agreement. He wanted to write it down in black and white so that even if something unexpected happened in the future, this would be his guarantee.
Cheng Mingyue was so angry at Lu Chen's behavior that she laughed, "Whatever you want!"
When Cheng Mingyue brought Lu Chen home, her parents were already waiting at the door to greet them.
As soon as the village head and his wife saw Lu Chen, they asked about his well-being warmly. Cheng Mingyue found it a little funny, but after the laughter, her eyes couldn't help but become moist.
Is this parental love?
For the sake of their daughter's future life, they could be so humble as to please a person who has nothing to do with them!
Cheng Mingyue's heart tightened as she recalled the scene in the book. She turned around, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said casually, "Dad, Mom, Lu Chen is not a child anymore. He can take care of himself. Don't be too enthusiastic. You might scare him."
The village chief's wife handed the towel to Lu Chen and glared at Cheng Mingyue. "What are you talking about, you damn girl? This is Lu Zhiqing's first time visiting our house and he's not familiar with many places. What's wrong with your father and I being a little more welcoming?!"
Cheng Mingyue stuck out her tongue, made a face, and went into the kitchen to serve the food.
"Lu Zhiqing, come and sit down." The village chief warmly invited Lu Chen to sit at the dinner table.
Lu Chen was a man who had seen many ups and downs, so he naturally understood why the village chief and his wife were so enthusiastic towards him.
Lu Chen's heart was calm, "Uncle and aunt, I'll go help Mingyue serve the dishes."
"Lu Zhiqing, you don't have to work so hard..." Before the village head and his wife finished their words, Lu Chen had already limped into the kitchen.
Seeing this, the village chief's wife was relieved but also a little worried.
The village chief patted his wife's arm and told her to relax. "Lu Zhiqing is a good kid. Don't think too much about it."
The village chief's wife nodded and wanted to go into the kitchen to help, but was stopped by the village chief. "Don't go near my daughter and son-in-law for no reason in the future. Leave some space for them!"
In the kitchen, Cheng Mingyue was busy serving chicken soup. When she looked up, she saw Lu Chen walking in. She smiled and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I had nothing to do sitting outside, so I thought I'd come in and help!" Lu Chen inhaled the fragrance that filled the room and said absentmindedly.
Cheng Mingyue was amused by Lu Chen's sniffing and handed him the enamel basin of chicken soup. "I made this chicken soup myself today. Drink more later. You're too thin. You need to eat some more."
Lu Chen only responded in a low voice and walked out with the chicken soup.
Although Cheng Mingyue was fat, he was very nimble and quickly brought all the food to the table.
After everyone was seated, the village chief, as the head of the family, spoke: "Lu Zhiqing, I know that marrying my Mingyue is unfair to you. You are an intellectual from the city, while my Mingyue is just a wild girl from the countryside.
Although she is in high school, she has been spoiled by us over the years, which is why she has made a lot of jokes.
But don't worry, after you marry Mingyue, if she dares to do something stupid again, her mother and I will never forgive her."
Seeing that her father had said so much, Cheng Mingyue quickly stood up to express her determination.
"Mom and Dad, after all this, I now truly realize my mistakes. Please rest assured that I will live a good life with Lu Chen in the future and will never let you worry about me again!"
Lu Chen listened to Cheng Mingyue's serious nonsense and snorted in his heart, but still followed the topic and said, "Uncle and aunt, don't worry, I will treat Mingyue well in the future!"
After that, the two looked at each other and didn't say anything.
The village chief and his wife were very satisfied with their silent communication and nodded happily.
"Eat quickly, or the food will get cold soon. Today's meal was made by Yue'er herself. Lu Zhiqing, please try it." The village chief's wife said as she scooped a large bowl of chicken soup for Lu Chen.
"Thank you, Auntie." Lu Chen took it with both hands, said thank you and lowered his head to drink a sip of chicken soup.
After taking a sip of chicken soup, Lu Chen felt that all the adjectives he had learned before were useless at this moment.
The soup was so delicious, even better than the one he had had in the state-owned restaurant in Beijing before.
He no longer cared about being polite and drank mouthful after mouthful until he had finished the entire bowl of chicken soup. Only then did he raise his head embarrassedly.
When Lu Chen looked up, he saw that the village chief and his wife were eating in the same manner as him. They were both busy eating, one bite after another, and occasionally making sounds of admiration.
Seeing that the chicken soup in Lu Chen's bowl was almost gone, Cheng Mingyue picked up his bowl and added a large bowl of rice to it. She also picked up a large chopstick of cabbage and mushrooms and said softly, "Eat quickly. Don't be restrained. We are married now, and this will be your home from now on."
Lu Chen nodded and said nothing more, but he felt a little sad in his heart.
Lu Chen couldn't remember how long it had been since he had sat together and had a good meal like this, and it had been a long time since he had received such care from others.
