bly wouldn't be able to return in half a month.Menglan was also happy and carefree, focusing on staying at home with her younger brother. What was comforting was that her brother was recovering well a...The car in front stopped again, Lu Yancen followed suit and stepped on the brake, "I heard He Zong call you his girlfriend"

"… Not really." Xiang Wan chuckled self-deprecatingly. "Just a lover."

Lu Yancen paused for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry to intrude."

"It's okay." Xiangwan said, her eyes drooping.

Their friendship wasn't that close, so they didn't discuss such a sensitive topic anymore and instead chatted about some trivial matters.

The road was jammed, with cars moving slower than pedestrians in many places. Xiangwan simply got out of the car and went to a small supermarket to buy some fruit before returning to her car which was still slowly crawling through the traffic jam.

Aunt Liu made seven or eight phone calls to urge them, but it was useless. After fifty minutes, Xiang Wan and Lu Yancen finally arrived at the residential complex where Lu's family lived.

Lu Yancen was very popular. In this fast-paced city where even your next-door neighbor might be a stranger, from the moment he entered the apartment building, people kept greeting him —

"Oh, Xiao Cen, you brought your girlfriend back"

"Your girlfriend is so beautiful, she's just a little too thin. Little Cen, your aunt makes such delicious food, ask her to cook some more tasty dishes for your girlfriend!"

"Your mom and your aunt were still complaining to me yesterday, saying they don't know when they can hold a grandchild. I think this is coming soon! Oh, my poor son, I don't know when he'll bring a girlfriend home. It worries me to death!"

Lu Yancen smiled and responded one by one, explaining to everyone that they had misunderstood. 向晚 stood beside him, smiling politely, occasionally saying hello Auntie, hello Uncle, graceful and composed.

Ding!

The elevator arrived, and the two of them bid farewell to the crowd before stepping out.

"You're very popular." Xiang Wan followed behind him, a hint of envy in her eyes.

Before the accident, she was a spoiled rich second-generation who only had a handful of friends, Jiang Qingran being one of them. With Jiang Qingran by her side for comparison most of the time, she wasn't favored by many elders.

After the car accident... she only had her brother and sister-in-law left.

"Well, he's handsome and has a good temper. It's hard to be disliked even with those qualities!" Lu Yancen chuckled, spreading his hands. Seeing the envy and melancholy that flashed in her eyes, he added, "Mainly because of my aunt."

She's a friendly person who likes to socialize. She often cooks and shares her food with neighbors, and she frequently joins in on square dancing with others. This is how she's made so many acquaintances. Since people know I'm her nephew, they greet me when we meet.

As soon as the words left his mouth, the door of the Lu family's house creaked open. Liu, her round head protruding from behind the door, said, "You little brat, why didn't you knock when you got to the doorstep"

“Since we’re such good friends, I feel like knocking on the door is unnecessary. I can just sense it,” Lu Yanzhen said with a smile.

Aunt Liu jumped out from behind the door and slapped him on the head, "You never admit your mistakes properly, you always have to talk back!"

"Aunt doesn't ever go easy on anyone," Lu Yancen sighed, covering his head. "I thought with Miss Xiang here, you'd at least spare my image."

Liu Sh hnen rolled her eyes at him, pushed him aside, and then smiled sweetly as she took Xiang Wan's hand and said, "It's this late, aren't you hungry Come on in, I made all your favorite dishes!"

"Well, I'm not very hungry, but I kind of crave what Aunt Liu makes." Xiang Wan was pulled into the Lu family by Aunt Liu.

The house has three bedrooms and two living rooms, with a spacious layout. The interior design leans towards a European-American style.

Outside the large window, dozens of potted plants were neatly arranged on the balcony. A few chrysanthemums were in full bloom, and a set of table and chairs sat in the center among the greenery. On the table was a teapot and several teacups.

"Auntie, Miss Xiang likes all of these. Doesn't she have any favorites that I like" Lu Yancen followed them in and closed the door behind him.

Mrs. Liu turned her head and gave him a sideways glance. "If you and Wanwan like the same things, wouldn't everything be something you like"

...

Is he his biological nephew

"Wanwan, here, wear these shoes!" After reprimanding him, Auntie Liu quickly grabbed a pair of slippers and put them in front of向晚.

Waena looked at the pink slippers with two little bunny designs on them, “...”

"Thank you, Aunt Liu," she said. She put on her slippers and walked around a bit. Her bunny ears twitched. It was very cute, and it also made her feel... kind of weird.

She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had touched something so delicate.

"Xiao Cen, you said Wanwan didn't like these pink things, didn't you You got it wrong," Aunt Liu said proudly. "I've known Wanwan for so many years, could I not know her better than you Look how much she likes these shoes!"

Lu Yancen helplessly pressed his forehead, "Where did you see that Miss Xiang likes me"

"Hey, you're still trying to be difficult!" Aunt Liu glared at him and then turned to Xiang Wan, "Xiang Wan, tell me yourself, do you like these shoes"

"…… 向晚， "like"."

Aunt Liu's eyebrows were practically flying off her face. "See Wanwan said she likes him!"

"Asked like that, could Miss Xiang possibly say she dislikes it" Lu Yanzhen changed into slippers and pointed at the sofa towards Wan, "Miss Xiang, please don't be so restrained, have a seat."

Xiangwan nodded, walked to the sofa and sat down, but only sat on the edge of the seat.

Upon seeing this, Lu Yancen raised an eyebrow slightly but didn't say anything.

"Oh, you little rascal..." Aunt Liu was very unhappy with his explanation.

Lu Yancen glanced at the kitchen, "Auntie, are you still boiling beef inside"

Aunt Liu’s words were abruptly cut short, and she dashed towards the kitchen in a flurry of activity, muttering to herself as she went.

Auntie Liu looked the same as she did two years ago. This realization eased the tension in Xiang Wan's spine slightly. She glanced around, but didn't see Lu Yancen's mother.

Click.

At that moment, the door opened.

The person who came in had hurried steps, probably thinking there was only Mrs. Liu at home. She said impatiently, "The child who did my beauty treatment today is a newbie and wasted a lot of time! Sister-in-law, has the daughter-in-law you introduced come"

Wa, “…”

She raised an eyebrow slightly and looked at Lu Yancen beside her.

Lu Yancen shrugged helplessly, indicating that he had no idea how his unreliable aunt managed to convince his mother.

Before the kitchen Liu-shi could reply, Lu-mu hurriedly said, “The house is so quiet, they probably haven’t arrived yet That’s good, that’s good. If this were their first meal together and I was late, others would think I wasn't satisfied with them and wouldn't agree to Little Cen being my daughter-in-law...”

The last "le" stuck in her throat when she saw Wawa.

"Hello Auntie, I'm Xiang Wan." Xiang Wan stood up and smiled at Lu's mother.

Her mother's auburn wavy hair was styled in a voluminous fashion, and her face was adorned with delicate makeup. She had removed her outer jacket, revealing a black dress that accentuated her curvaceous figure.

If it weren't for her just-now words, A-Wan would have never guessed that the fashionable woman before her had a son as grown up as Lu Yancen.
