ng Cheng is carrying my son! I feel so good right now, life is so comfortable! No woman will tell me what to do about drinking with other women or flirting with others. As long as I give her a lot of...Lu You looked at him and said very slowly, “We made an agreement!”

Ye Bai's voice slowed, "You mean we'll just stay in this ambiguous, illegal cohabitation"

Lu You disagreed!

"What is wrong with cohabiting Why does it have to sound so bad"

Ye Bai then let her go. He leaned against the sofa, closing his eyes slightly to rest: “If I'm going to buy something, I'll be the one buying it. There's no way a woman would pay…Didn't you say you wouldn't support a man"

Lu You gazed at him,

Ye Bai's voice was gentle: "It's not a big deal, you buy it, I buy it, it's the same. But Lu You, I'm a man, and it doesn't seem right for a man to live in a woman's house. Besides, if we have a fight, you kick me out, that would be embarrassing, and people would laugh at us."

Lu You asked sarcastically, "Then if we have a fight living in the house you bought, will you kick us both out"

Ye Bai laughed: “I’ll go! That’s different. It’s me taking the initiative to leave!”

He smiled confidently, and Lu You didn't say anything more.

Ye Bai lightly patted her hand: "That's decided! I'll have my secretary look at some suitable houses later. It'd be best if it's close to your brother's place, so the two elders can visit each other easily."

Lu You said he had become Easternized in his thinking.

"Those who associate with the black ink will become black themselves!"

Ye Bai reacted quickly: "When in Rome, do as the Romans do!"

Lu You leaned lightly against the sofa back, Ye Bai turned his head to look at her, and then gently held her hand.

The two stood in the ward, their hearts at peace.

Lu You thought, perhaps she couldn't rekindle the feelings she had for him years ago, but she had also let go... Because things were different now compared to before. Back then, she was young and unburdened. When she loved, she loved wholeheartedly, and when she hated, she hated with all her might. But now it was different. Now, she was a mother of two children, nowhere near as carefree as she used to be!

Simple, and yet natural!

……

In the afternoon, Lu Shu still made a special trip back to the city. He was busy every day, and if something wasn't settled in the morning, he would have to rush back to the city for a meeting.

Lu Qian leaned against the bedhead: "What brings you back I'm fine, in high spirits!"

Lu Shuo sat on the edge of the bed, peeling an apple for him while muttering, "You gave Ye Bai a little note before New Year's, and now it's come true, hasn't it You should be more honest and take care of your health. Don't get drunk every time you drink!"

Lu Qian wanted to retort a few words, but when he turned his eyes, he saw Mingzhu quietly wiping her tears.

He couldn't hold it in anymore!

But in front of the children, there's no place to comfort Mrs. Lu like in private. Lu Qian looked around and coughed lightly: "Lu Shuo, I think you make a lot of sense. Tomorrow, I'm going to quit drinking, never again! So that your mother doesn't worry all day long."

Lu Shu handed the apple over, his eyes gleaming: "Really"

Lu Qian glanced at him: "When did my words ever not count"

Lu Shuo patted his pants leg: “Then I’ll write this down for Mom! … By the way, did Lu You say you’re planning to move back with Mom to the city Not staying in the retirement home anymore”

Lu Qian's face flushed.

Just then, Lu You and Ye Bai weren't around. He pretended not to care and said: "That Ye Bai, a grown man, spends his days lounging around in Lu Garden. It's not right, it'll make people laugh at him. Why don't I go to the city with your mother It wouldn't be so crowded there."

He said again, "That Ye Bai invited us to stay with him for a while. Your mother and I will go there first and stay for a bit. When we get tired of it, we'll go to your place."

Lu Shuo found it amusing, but also somewhat touching.

His uncle's grandfather is so worried about the children that he ran around both ends, preferring to go to the city for retirement. Actually, in terms of climate and environment, the city is a little better. He couldn't help but say, "Dad, you've worked hard!"

Lu Qian didn't mind: "What's the hard work! That was where my mom and I first met. My side of the family has passed away, but your mom still has a lot of relatives there, she misses home too."

Huo Mingzhu was deeply moved.

She always thought that Lu Qian was doing it for the children, but she never expected there to be another layer to it.

At this point, Lu Qian simply said lightly: "Cutting back on alcohol is really true! Just to ease your worries!"

He held his wife's hand.

He was filled with mixed emotions. In truth, Mingzhu marrying him was a marriage of unequal status; she had everything while he was considerably older than her... He didn't want her to be lonely in her old age, he should take care of his health.

Lu Shuo sat quietly, always moved.

On one side, Lu Xun leaned gently against his shoulder, lightly holding his arm. Such dependence soothed Lu Shuo's heart; he turned his head to look at her and smiled silently.

Lu Qian's body was fine, and Lu Shao returned to the city by private jet that night.

Lu Xun stayed behind, followed by the rest of her family as they left. She was going to accompany Mingzhu in packing their belongings. This move meant she would likely be back less often in the future; she would only return for holidays, special occasions, or on anniversaries of their grandmother's death. Most of their essential items needed to be moved.

Ye Bai's secretary has a very nice villa, with a space of 2000 square meters, enough to accommodate a whole family.

Even Doudou was taken in and raised first.

Just wait for the master to come back.

In the Imperial Garden, servants bustled about, some worried and anxious about their jobs.

Lu You discussed with Ye Bai,

Ye Bai looked at her, and after a moment, he smiled faintly: "This is easy! Half stay in the garden to take care of things, and half go to the villa in the city to work. That place always needs people, it's better to use the ones we already have than to hire new ones. Mom and Dad are used to them anyway."

"I think that's a good arrangement too,"

She was putting away her books.

Ye Bai came over and said in a soft voice, "It's rare to hear you praise me once, it's not easy, Mrs. Ye!"

Lu You continued to put away the books in her hands, and after a moment of stunned silence, she said: "I'm not Mrs. Ye, we haven't gotten married."

Ye Bai wasn't angry either: "We've already paid respects to your parents on your behalf, and we don't lack the formality! Besides, our situation is quite common abroad too. People out there still call each other Mr. and Mrs."

Lu You giggled involuntarily: "You're quite good at making excuses for yourself! Are you afraid of losing face in front of your friends"

He didn't deny it either: "Yes! Miss Lu, at least give me some face outside, don't say we are living together illegally!"

Lu You smiled lightly, her lips pursed, and it was clear she was in a good mood.

At this moment, in her study, with the children gone, the atmosphere was perfect... He carried her to the desk and leaned down to kiss her. Lu You did not refuse; she reached up to hold his shoulders and kissed him back.

Yè Bai whispered, "Is this a reward" after kissing her deeply for a long time.

Lu You shook her head: “No!”

His voice grew lower: "So it was irresistible"

Lu Yu hung her head and said, "Don't push your luck! Put me down!"

Yet Ye Bai refused to let go. It was the time for a midday nap, and everything around them was quiet... And there was no bed in her small study, only a set of small sofas.

Ye Bai was thinking, he didn't want to be too thoughtful and make her feel annoyed.

Actually, if it were an ordinary couple, even having a romantic moment at the desk would be pleasant. But they weren't like that now, he still needed to consider her feelings...

Ye Bai couldn't help but lean in close to her ear and whisper, "Let me make you feel comfortable, okay It's not soundproof here, so keep your voice down!"o-ting went to see someone off.When he came back, there were some snowflakes on his clothes. He patted them off and said, "We'd better head back soon too, or if the snow gets any heavier, it will be h...
