e collar of his shirt, casting a shadow across his collarbone. His suit wasn't as impeccably tailored as usual, even with two loose buttons adding a touch of dishevelment, but it somehow made him more...The car in front stopped again, Lu Yancen followed and stepped on the brakes, "I heard He Zong call you his girlfriend"

"... not really." Xiangwan chuckled self-deprecatingly. "Just a lover."

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

"It's okay." Xiang Wan said, drooping her eyes.

Their friendship wasn't close enough to discuss such sensitive topics further. They switched to talking about unimportant things instead.

The road was heavily congested, with cars moving slower than pedestrians in many places. Xiang Wan decided to get off the car and went to a small supermarket to buy some fruit, then returned to the car which was still slowly crawling through the traffic jam.

Aunt Liu had 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 district where Lu's family lived.

Lu Yancen was very sociable. In this fast-paced city where even next-door neighbors might not know each other, from the moment he entered the building, people kept greeting him.

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

"Your girlfriend is really pretty, she's just a little too thin. Little Cen, your aunt makes such delicious food, have her make some more tasty dishes for your girlfriend!"

“Your mother and your aunt were still complaining to me yesterday, saying they don't know when they can hold their grandchildren. I think it's coming soon! Oh, my worrywart son doesn't know when he'll bring a girlfriend home, it worries me to death!”

Lu Yancen smiled and responded to everyone one by one, explaining that they had misunderstood. Xiang Wan stood beside him, smiling politely and occasionally saying "Hello, Auntie," "Hello, Uncle," with grace and composure.

Ding!

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

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

Before the accident, she was a spoiled rich second generation, with only Jiang Qingran as one of her few ‘friends’. Normally, with Jiang Qingran by her side for comparison, basically no elders liked her.

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

"Well, someone who is handsome and has a good temper shouldn't be unpopular, right" Lu Yancen spread his hands and smiled. Seeing the envy and melancholy that flashed in her eyes, he added, "It's mainly because of my aunt."

"She's a friendly person. She often cooks food and shares it with the people in her neighborhood, and she also frequently dances with them in the square. That's how she's made so many friends. Since everyone knows I'm her nephew, they greet me when we meet."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the Lu family's house creaked open. Liu Shuren’s round head poked out from behind the door, “You brat, you're at the door and don't even knock”

"Since we have such a good relationship, I feel like knocking is unnecessary. I believe in telepathy," Lu Yance smiled.

Aunt Liu jumped out from behind the door and gave him a tap on the head. "There's never once you admit fault properly, you always have to talk back!"

"Aunt Mei has never once been able to control her temper." Lu Yancen covered his head and sighed, "I thought that with Miss Xiang here, you would at least consider my image."

Auntie Liu 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 in quickly, I made everything you like!"

"It's fine, I'm not very hungry. I kind of want what Aunt Liu makes though." 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 decoration style leans towards European and American aesthetics.

Outside the huge French windows, dozens of potted plants on the balcony were arranged neatly. A few chrysanthemums bloomed just right, and in the middle of the plants was a set of table and chairs, with a teapot and a few teacups on top.

"Aunt, Miss Xiang likes all these dishes. Doesn't anyone like what I like" Lu Yancen followed them in and closed the door.

Aunt Liu turned her head and gave him a sideways glance. "If you and Wanwan liked the same things, wouldn't everything you liked be what she liked"

Lu Yancen, “...”

Is he his biological nephew

"Wanwan, here, wear these shoes!" After Liu's aunt said that, she quickly picked up a pair of slippers and put them in front of Xiang Wan.

向晚 looked at the pink slippers with two little rabbit faces on them, "…"

"Thank you, Mrs. Liu," she said. She put on her slippers and took a step, her rabbit ears twitching, which was both cute and... unsettling.

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

"Xiao Cen, you said WanWan doesn'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 rubbed his temples, "Where did you see that Miss Xiang likes me"

"Hey, you're still trying to argue!" Liu Shu pinched her waist and pointed at him, then turned to Xiang Wan, "Xiang Wan, tell me yourself, do you like these shoes"

"...," Si, "like."

Auntie Liu's eyes were practically sparkling, "See Wanwan said she likes him!"

"You ask like that, can Miss Xiang say she doesn't like it" Lu Yanzhen changed his slippers and pointed to the sofa towards Wan,"Miss Xiang, don't be too restrained, sit down."

向晚 nodded and walked to the sofa, but she only sat on the edge of it.

Upon seeing this, Lu Yan's eyebrows rose slightly, but he didn't say anything.

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

Lu Yancen glanced at the kitchen. "Aunt, are you still cooking beef inside"

Liu Shn hadn't finished her words before swallowing them back down and rushing to the kitchen, muttering to herself as she went.

Aunt Liu looks the same as she did two years ago, which eased the tension in Xiang Wan's spine slightly. She looked 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 Liu's wife at home. She said anxiously, "The child who did my beauty treatment today is a novice and wasted a lot of time! Sister-in-law, has the daughter-in-law you introduced me come"

向晚, “…”

She furrowed her brow slightly and looked at Lu Yancen beside her.

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

Before Liu, the kitchen helper, could answer, Mother Lu blurted out again, "There's no sound in the house, so he probably hasn't come yet That's good, that's good. If this were his first time having a meal here and I was late, others might think I wasn't satisfied with him and wouldn't agree to make Xiao Cen my daughter-in-law…"

The last "le" got stuck in her throat after seeing Wanye.

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

Mother Lu had auburn wavy hair that cascaded down her back. She wore delicate makeup and had taken off her jacket, revealing a black dress that outlined her curvaceous figure.

If it weren't for her just-said words, A-wan would have absolutely never guessed that the fashionable young woman before her had a son as big as Lu Yancen.
