Chapter 661: Chapter 661 It’s Ti to Put Our Affairs on the Agenda Chapter 661: Chapter 661 It’s Ti to Put Our Affairs on the Agenda Luo Qiao and Lu Yichen were about to leave when the technician installing the phone arrived. After a brief exchange with him, they left.
They drove to the villa, and Luo Qiao got out of the car to open the gate, allowing Lu Yichen to drive in.
After taking so tools from the adjacent tool room, Lu Yichen said, “I can handle this, you go boil so water.”
Luo Qiao entered the house, which she hadn’t visited in half a year; it was quite dusty. She cleaned the living room and kitchen on the first floor again and boiled water before carrying it to the backyard.
Lu Yichen had worked fast, already clearing a third of the area.
Because of the heat, he had taken off his outer shirt and was only wearing a tank top. His bronze skin glead in the sunlight, and the muscles on his arms—oh my, she couldn’t look any further.
Lu Yichen heard so movent behind him and turned to look. Sweat had soaked through his tank top, sticking to his body, and the abdominal muscles beneath the fabric beca faintly visible with his movents.
Luo Qiao quickly looked away, “Brother Chen, co and have so water. You can keep working afterward.”
After finishing what he was doing, Lu Yichen ca over and asked, “Have you decided what flowers to plant yet?”
Luo Qiao replied, “Not yet, I’ll get so seeds and try a few things out.”
The two worked all morning and finally cleared out the space, truly embodying the saying that tasks are easier when n and won work together.
Luo Qiao said, “Brother Chen, please help keep an eye out for soone suitable, preferably soone who can live here and take care of the yard.”
Lu Yichen thought for a mont, “There actually is soone, but I need to test the waters first.”
Luo Qiao smiled, “Then I’ll leave that to you.”
Lu Yichen copied her gesture, making an OK sign with his hand.
They managed to tidy up the yard. If Luo Qiao hadn’t wanted to keep the ownership of the house private, Lu Yichen would surely have called for additional help.
Locking the main gate behind them and without any bathhouses nearby, Lu Yichen took her to a public bathhouse, where they cleaned themselves up before leaving.
Driving past a roast duck restaurant, they picked up three ducks. Getting out of the car, Luo Qiao left one in the car for Lu Yichen, “Why don’t you co in and have dinner before you head back?”
Lu Yichen replied, “I have things to do today, so I won’t co in. Once I’m officially part of the family, I can co and go as I please.”
Luo Qiao burst into laughter, “Is that a roundabout way of reminding ?”
Lu Yichen pinched Luo Qiao’s nose and said, “We should schedule our plans. My grandpa was planning to visit, but my grandparents have been preoccupied with my third brother’s affair, so I didn’t want to cause them more trouble.
Once we’ve settled my third brother’s arrangents, I’ll co to get your family’s consent before inviting my grandpa over. We can get engaged before the school year starts and get married once you’re of legal age. What do you think?”
Luo Qiao smiled, “Didn’t we already agree on this before? Why are you asking again?”
Lu Yichen said affectionately, “I definitely need to confirm with you before I act. Whatever the matter, you’re the priority.”
Luo Qiao asked, “Where did you learn to say that?”
Lu Yichen replied, “I don’t need to learn from anyone. These are my true feelings. You will always be the priority for .”
Smiling, Luo Qiao said, “My third brother is getting engaged this Sunday. As for our affairs, it’s up to your abilities.”
After saying that, she picked up the two ducks and her changed clothes to leave. Turning around she added, “Drive slowly on your way.”
Lu Yichen watched her disappear around the corner into the alley and only then drove away.

At the Lu Family ho, Cui Jianhua’s wife, Feng Nanshuang, was sitting in the kitchen, helping her mother-in-law, Geng Mingli, pick vegetables. “Mom, what do you think about the second brother’s marriage? We are all married, and he has yet to make a move. People in the compound haven’t been shy about accusing you of favoritism.”
Geng Mingli responded, “Your second brother’s marriage isn’t sothing I can manage, and even your father probably couldn’t make the decisions. You should stop worrying about this.”
Feng Nanshuang pouted, “Mom, I’m just thinking about what’s best for you and Jianhua. If the second brother settles down sooner, people in the compound won’t keep saying those unpleasant things.”
Geng Mingli said, “Just lead your own lives well. Don’t concern yourselves with compound gossip. It’s getting late; shouldn’t you be heading back to cook for Jianhua and the others?”
