124: Chapter 119: This Is My Girlfriend, Nanxi_1 124: Chapter 119: This Is My Girlfriend, Nanxi_1 Lu Yinchu put his arm around her shoulders and tossed the car keys to a servant, instructing, "Have the suit on the driver's seat dry cleaned!" The servant was momentarily stunned, but then promptly nodded, "Yes, Young Master!" Lu Yinchu did not say anything further.
With his arm around Nanxi, he guided her towards the house.
His protective demeanor made the servants marvel inwardly: It seems like Young Master really cares about this young girl.
It looks like he's serious this time! The Young Master is actually considering marriage! As they walked into the house, Nanxi was still a bundle of nerves.
She was already confused about pretending to be Lu Yinchu's girlfriend, but now she had given Lu Yinchu's mother a...
certain impression of her.
Surely, his mother must be repelled by her now! The woman...
is not virtuous! In fact, Nanxi had entirely misconstrued things.
In her youth, Xia Zhen had been a lawyer, but she had married Lu Wenming less than a year into her career.
A year after their marriage, she had given birth to Lu Yinchu.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGiven Lu Wenming's frequent absences due to his military duties, the responsibility of caring for the newborn baby and elderly in-laws had fallen squarely on Xia Zhen.
Xiao Zhen was virtuous and gentle, which earned her the affection of her in-laws.
The reason their family managed to stay intact for over thirty years was largely due to her efforts.
In her youth, her primary responsibilities were her child and her elders.
As her child grew up and her mother-in-law passed away, her father-in-law aged, her concerns shifted.
For example, she now paid even more meticulous attention to caring for the elderly, alleviating her husband's worries since he was mostly away.
Also, once her son was over twenty-two, having graduated from university, she thought that it was tfor him to find a suitable girl.
But as young people were more focused on their careers, she wasn't in a hurry...
She was looking forward to her son finding a girl soon so she could continue to worry about her future grandchildren.
She enjoyed embracing these worries! But when tragedy struck her daughter, her attention towards her son inevitably decreased due to the deep sorrow she felt.
By the tshe had somewhat recovered and was able to focus her attention back on her son, he was already twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old...
Nevertheless, he was still in his twenties.
Her son was excellent, so she wasn't anxious.
Be that as it may, she still occasionally brought up the issue, but every time, her son managed to divert her attention.
Deep down, she realized, her son just wasn't interested in matters of love.
She had inquired discreetly with Mo Yan, who was quite tight-lipped but respectful towards her.
He would reveal something when necessary.
Mo Yan had told her, "There are no women in Lu's life.
If any rumors suggest otherwise, they're mostly false!" Upon hearing this, Xia Zhen couldn't help but feel sorrowful.
So now, when Lu Yinchu informed her of his marriage plans, Xia Zhen was genuinely thrilled! Today, as she prepared to meet her future daughter-in-law, she had many things planned. However, she didn't expect Qi Qun to show up, which somewhat spoiled her mood. Moreover, to her surprise, her son had already been affectionate with his future wife in the car... Qi Qun was taken aback at the sight and left after muttering something, her bag in tow.
Xia Zhen also retreated to her room with the servants...
Leaving the younger ones to their own devices! Xia Zhen had absolute trust in the girl her son had chosen.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNow, seeing how her usually composed and mature son had behaved towards the young lady even at the doorstep, she understood clearly that her son was serious this time! She was delighted and personally got busy in the kitchen making tea.
After all, it was the first tshe was meeting her future daughter-in-law.
She had to leave a good impression by doing everything herself! Just as she began humming a song, she heard a hearty laughter from outside.
It was the old master.
Xia Zhen smiled and said to herself, "It seems like the old master really approves of this girl!" Xia Zhen's assessment wasn't entirely correct, but it wasn't entirely wrong either! Nanxi was extremely nervous.
As she was ushered inside by Lu Yinchu, she kept her head low, not daring to look up.
The man's fingers tenderly caressed her palm, and he spoke in anom endearing tone, Nanxi, if you want to punish me, let's do it when we get home. Be good for now, okay?" Nanxi was embarrassed by his words.
She was truly embarrassed!
She thought that Lu Yinchu was a savvy man, and it was likely that his e cunning was hereditary. So his mother might also be cunning! This must be why what happened earlier...
was so convincing! Otherwise, why would a man with someone in his heart kiss her?
