"Idiot, have I ever been mean to you?" Chen Lu asked softly.
Should I say you're honest, or that you're adorably naive?
"No......"
Liang Zhirou leaned closer to Chen Lu. "I was just saying."
"I wouldn't want to." Chen Lu lowered his head and kissed the girl's forehead. Let alone scolding her, he might want to kill himself if his tone was even slightly harsh.
The kind of person who has to suddenly get up in the middle of the night and slap themselves.
How could I bear to let this silly boy suffer?
"Other people's girlfriends are all about me counting to three, so why are you afraid of being yelled at by your boyfriend?" he continued to joke.
Liang Zhirou lowered her eyelids slightly, a barely perceptible smile playing on her lips, and gently took Chen Lu's hand, "Because I only have you..."
Other girls have their parents to support them, but she has nothing.
Whether Chen Lu's attitude is good or bad, it has a double impact on her. It's precisely because she's never experienced it before that she's now so terrified of losing it.
She has already seen the light and has no desire to retreat back into the darkness.
"A sense of security can't be given to you in a day or two. Leave it to me, we'll take it slowly."
As Chen Lu spoke, he held the girl's hand in his palm and squeezed it gently, and before he knew it, he and the girl had made a pinky promise.
That evening, when Liu Yan returned from buying oden, she surprisingly brought a portion for Liang Zhirou as well.
Chen Lu casually grabbed a skewer and ate it while grinning foolishly.
Isn't this simpleton's ability to win people over a bit too much?
Will I be sidelined by this silly guy in the future?
Chen Lu gasped and kissed Liang Zhirou's cheek hard.
Liang Zhirou didn't complain about anything, she just smiled at him, even her shallow dimples looked so happy, and then she took out a tissue and silently wiped the oil that Chen Lu had kissed on her face.
He then pulled out another bill and wiped Chen Lu's mouth.
Surprisingly, I was quite happy.
......
That evening, Chen Lu went home specifically to discuss the house.
As soon as he entered, he saw Chen Guanglin sitting on the sofa reading a book. He always felt that his father was always doing some recreational activities that didn't require any interaction when he had nothing to do.
"Dad, where's Mom?" Chen Lu asked.
Chen Guanglin gestured with his chin toward the kitchen, "My son's back!"
Wang Xiaoxia brought out two plates of watermelon from the kitchen and was pleasantly surprised to see Chen Lu. "Have you eaten?"
"I came back to eat, didn't I?"
"You didn't tell us beforehand. Your dad and I had already finished eating."
Chen Lu was startled and quickly checked the time. It was only a little past seven in the evening, and it wasn't even completely dark yet.
"I rarely come back, why haven't I been fed yet?"
Wang Xiaoxia sat down on the sofa and sighed deeply. "Your dad and I are getting old, and you and Xiaomo aren't home, so we just made do with whatever we could find for dinner. That's how it is when you get old..."
Chen Lu grinned, plopped down next to Wang Xiaoxia, leaned in to sniff, and exclaimed loudly, "Mom! You two just came back from hot pot, right? It was tomato broth!"
I treat you like my own mother, and you try to play tricks on me?
Is this reasonable?
Chen Guanglin quickly cleared his throat to stop Chen Lu's reckless behavior.
Feeling a little guilty after her act was exposed, Wang Xiaoxia picked up a piece of watermelon and offered it to Chen Lu.
Chen Lu slumped on the sofa with a disdainful look, chewing on watermelon and snorting coldly, "Then I'm going to my girlfriend's house for dinner later. I'll have Zhirou cook for me."
"You're all talk. If you're so capable, why don't you try and make Zhirou my daughter-in-law? I just went to my colleague's grandson's one-month celebration a few days ago, and she's only two years older than me!"
"Neither of us is old enough to get a marriage certificate yet."
"Your father and I got married before we registered our marriage."
"What era were you living in? What era are we living in now?" Chen Lu felt that his mother was probably going through menopause, worrying about nothing all the time.
He was laughing for a while when he suddenly felt a little dazed. Just two years ago, his mother was saying every day that the world was so big and she wanted to travel around it. Now she just wanted to wait to hold her grandson.
I've really gotten old without even realizing it...
"Open your mind to things. What if you're old enough to be a grandparent when you're your colleague's age?" Chen Lu joked. Chen Guanglin was hard to fool, but Wang Xiaoxia was easy to coax.
After saying that, he sat up straight, glanced at his parents, and said, "Seriously, when you have time, go pick out a house for yourself, and I'll buy it for you."
"I'm coming clean. I've earned millions since the summer, and that's without even counting any subsequent profits."
Wang Xiaoxia hesitated for a moment, then quickly reached out and touched Chen Lu's forehead.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
"Check if you have a fever..."
Is there something wrong with this son's head? He's made millions, but instead of showing off or buying luxury cars, he wants to buy a house for the family.
Then he said he would continue living in that rented room?
This is not normal.
If Chen Lu had come to show off that he bought a sports car, she probably wouldn't have said much. But given the current situation, she really suspects that her son has lost his mind.
"Keep it for your own house to buy when you get married. Your mother and I don't need your house," Chen Guanglin said calmly, though he was actually a little disappointed.
From the moment Chen Lu started his business, he was prepared to step in and lend a hand as a father whenever his son faced his most difficult times.
As it turned out, Chen Lu didn't give him that chance at all.
"I didn't say I wasn't going to buy any; I'm planning to buy two sets. Besides, this is to show my respect to you all."
“What’s the point of having so many houses? We can’t possibly live in them all.” Wang Xiaoxia didn’t seem to care much. “Buy me a mahjong table, I’ll put it in the living room. Whenever your dad goes to play chess, I’ll call people over to play mahjong.”
"Why is it so difficult to talk to you two about something?"
Chen Lu was speechless; he couldn't even show his filial piety. "Let me be honest," he said, "the apartment I'm buying isn't our wedding home. I plan to buy it for Liang Zhirou's mother. Their rental lease is about to expire, and the environment isn't good..."
That's why I was thinking of buying one for you too, a better one.
He then placed a bank card on the coffee table, saying, "The company doesn't need this money for operations, you can take it."
Then he smugly crossed his legs, ready to see the surprised expressions on his parents' faces.
“If you want them to stay, then let them stay. Zhirou will be your wife in the future, and your Aunt Xiao will be your mother-in-law.” Wang Xiaoxia said seriously, “You don’t have to treat them all the same. Do you think your father and I don’t know your personality? They had a hard life before, so if you can help them now, then do so. Since they’ve been so good to you, they’re not outsiders.”
"......"
After chatting for a few minutes, Chen Lu let out a weak sigh.
Ugh, this is so boring.
Those pretentious scenes in TV dramas are all lies!
No one around him ever showed any excitement when he made money; his girlfriend didn't even care whether he made money or not...
For a moment, I didn't know whether I should be happy or not.
Chen Lu stood up somewhat dejectedly, called out, and headed towards the entrance.
"Where are you going?" Wang Xiaoxia asked curiously.
"Go freeload at your daughter-in-law's place!"
