Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Jin Nian nodded, “I understand, Dad.”
“Don’t take it lightly. You need to take my words seriously. Lu An has always been fearless, not afraid of anything. He never treated anyone seriously. Today, he knelt in front of your mother for so long, all for you. You should know his feelings for you very well.”
Gradually, Jin Nian’s heart softened, and she sincerely promised, “Dad, I won’t change my mind easily.”
As they continued talking, Lu An also erged from the room.
It was getting late, and considering Lu An’s exhausting ten days of travel, it was ti for the two of them to return ho.
Lu An contacted the driver and had him bring the car to the entrance of the alley. Teacher Tan and Old Jin accompanied them to see them off.
At this mont, Jin Nian suddenly felt the reality of marriage. The concept of marriage was becoming clearer in her mind. She finally realized that she and Lu An were now a family. She truly beca a daughter who had been married off.
“You both can go back now. No need to see us off. It’s not like we won’t be coming back.” Jin Nian waved at them.
Teacher Tan’s eyes were slightly red, and she stood at the entrance of the alley, nodding. “Whenever you have ti, co back for a al. Let your father know in advance so he can prepare.”
“Understood.”
Walking out of the alley, the trees by the roadside were already covered in their winter coats.
As the weather grew colder, when they spoke, their breath ford a white mist in the air.
Lu An reached out his hand to Jin Nian, gesturing for her to take his hand.
Jin Nian turned back to look at her parents who were still waiting at the alley entrance. With a sense of relief, she gently placed her hand on Lu An’s.
The driver soon brought the car over. At this point, Teacher Tan and Old Jin were also making their way ho.
Sitting in the backseat of the unfamiliar Maybach, Jin Nian asked curiously, “Where’s your previous car, the rcedes-Benz G-Class?”
“I sent it to the dealership for maintenance.”
Sitting in the new car felt different, both cars had leather seats and were equally comfortable. However, Jin Nian noticed that the back seat of this car was more spacious.
Seeing Jin Nian’s curiosity, Lu An smiled and explained, “See this button? Press it, and the partition will rise.”
Jin Nian had the sa reaction as a character in a novel entering a magnificent garden, “So luxury cars have those retractable partitions, just like in the novels? Can the driver still hear us?”
“Do you want to try?”
Jin Nian saw his mischievous smile and declined. “No, thanks.”
Lu An grabbed Jin Nian’s wrist and whispered, “Sit on my lap.”
Jin Nian was about to decline, but then he said, “I’ve had a bit too much to drink. Help massage my temples.”
Consequently, Jin Nian couldn’t resist any longer. She obediently sat on Lu An’s lap and began to gently massage his temples.
Lu An leaned back in his seat, eyes closed. He looked casual, his suit jacket discarded to the side, and the sleeves of his black shirt rolled up to his elbows.
After ten days apart, they were now only a few centiters away from each other. Jin Nian felt a strange sense of unfamiliarity.
Jin Nian’s fingers touched his warm skin, and she recognized the familiar scent on him. Her breathing gradually beca erratic, and her heartbeat followed suit.
Tonight, Jin Nian observed every action Lu An took in front of her parents. Though it was sowhat exaggerated, she couldn’t help but be touched.
“Have you not been eating well during your business trip? Why do 1 feel like you’ve lost so weight?” Jin Nian felt a bit embarrassed, struggling to find sothing to talk about.
Lu An opened his previously closed eyes upon hearing this. His clear gaze t hers as if he was a little surprised.
These past few days, he indeed hadn’t been eating properly due to his non-stop work over ten days. He had lost five to six pounds.
Originally, Lu An didn’t have any extra fat on him, and with this weight loss, his facial features appeared even sharper.
Jin Nian moved her hand away from his temple and held his face, carefully examining it, and said, “You’ve lost at least five pounds. It’s quite noticeable.”
Lu An raised an eyebrow slightly as if amused by her directness.
Lu An said, “Thank you.”
“Thank for what?”
“Thank you for saying so many kind words tonight and calming my mom down.”
“Kind words?”
“Of course.” Jin Nian nodded. “My dad even praised you in front of .”
“Then why don’t you praise ?”
Jin Nian applied a bit more pressure while massaging his temples and said, “Is this pressure good?”
Lu An grabbed Jin Nian’s hand and refused to let her move. He said, “But you haven’t praised yet.”
Jin Nian truly didn’t know how to deal with him. “You were at your best today, simply outstanding. You’re the most amazing person in the world who knows how to make people happy.”
“Since I’m the best, shouldn’t I be rewarded?”
“How would you like to reward you?”
“Say that sentence again..”
