It's terrible. Mr. Lu is too clingy.

Xie Xingran waited for a while, hoping that he would say some shameless and shameless words to coax her as he did in the past.

But she waited for five minutes and there was still no message from the other side.

Xie Xingran: [What's up? Is the puppy sad?]

I've never seen him so vulnerable before... Is he in a bad mood recently?

After thinking about it, I decided to coax him.

She made a call, five seconds later than before, but the call still went through.

"What are you doing?" she asked in a casual and relaxed tone.

After a moment of silence, Lu Ci asked in a difficult voice, "Is there anything you want to tell me?"

"?" Xie Xingran was confused for a second, then thought of what Su Nianwan had said to her.

Could it be that he had known about the relationship between Su Nianwan and her for a long time, and was afraid that she would be troubled after knowing it, so he asked her to stay away from Su Nianwan?

Today she met someone, he might have guessed that she knew the truth, and was afraid that she would be sad, so he wanted to comfort her.

Thinking of this, her mood unconsciously became heavy again.

She pinched her eyebrows and sighed:

"Let's talk when we meet. I haven't had lunch yet. By the way, have you had lunch?"

There was another silence. Just when Xie Xingran was about to ask, he asked, "Where are you? I'm coming to find you."

Pursing her lips, she gave the nearest address, then sat in the store waiting for him, having pre-ordered a shabu-shabu hotpot and some dishes they both liked.

About half an hour passed and Lu Ci still hadn't arrived. Xie Xingran lowered his head in boredom, his thoughts in a mess.

She closed her eyes and opened them again, then looked up at the door. The man hadn't arrived yet. The road was slippery due to the snow, so she didn't rush him.

She just turned her head inadvertently, and saw Lu Ci standing under the electric pole on the street outside the glass window, and he also came into her sight.

He was wearing a black windbreaker, and he was tall, handsome, and straight. However, unlike his usual gentle demeanor, he had a coldness that kept people at a distance.

But there was a subtle fragility in his eyes as he looked at her, as if she were a fragile rag doll.

It was this energy that caused many people to look back at him frequently.

Xie Xingran didn't understand what was going on, so he waved at him and silently mouthed: Come in quickly.

I really don't know why he is outside getting some fresh air?

Don’t you think it’s cold?

Lu Ci obviously saw her, but he didn't move. He just stood there, looking at her with an inexplicable expression.

Xie Xingran frowned, stood up and walked to the door.

The temperature outside was really cold, and she didn't want to go out, so she waved to him at the door and shouted:

"Lu Ciye, what are you doing? Come in quickly, I'm starving."

Lu Ci was also unmoved and just looked at her silently.

He seemed like a man frozen in the wind and snow.

Xie Xingran suppressed his anger and walked towards him reluctantly in the cold wind.

"You better be in a bad mood," she cursed.

If he teased her, she would beat him up.

Seeing her slowly approaching, someone's silent eyes lit up for a moment, and then he lowered his eyes in restraint.

He seemed unable to help himself and raised his eyes again, his gaze fixed on her, his emotions complex and difficult to discern.

In the vast sky and earth, with snow all around, he just stood there quietly, waiting for her.

Xie Xingran's anger subsided and his heart suddenly softened.

He must be really in a bad mood.

Xie Xingran walked faster and faster, and finally jogged, then threw herself into his arms like a bird returning to its nest.

Lu Ci also subconsciously opened his windbreaker to wrap her, and was pushed back a step by her.

Perhaps it was too different from the worst result he had imagined, the softness on his chest made him stunned for a while.

He didn't know how long he had been standing there. His arms were cold, and he regretted it the moment he hugged Xie Xingran.

After enduring for a few seconds, she tried to retreat, but was forcibly held down and not allowed to leave.

His chin rested carefully on her shoulder, but his hands were tightly wrapped around her waist.

"Wife, you still want me, right?" His voice was broken, like a poor puppy that was almost sold.

Xie Xingran was shivering from the cold and struggled, "Yes, yes, yes, please let me go first, you're so cold."

Hearing her say yes, Lu Ci raised the corners of his lips in relief. Not only did he not let go, but he hugged her even tighter.

"Yeah, I'm so cold." He closed his eyes, rubbed her neck, and said coquettishly:

"Honey, warm me up, or I'll freeze into an ice sculpture. The kind that will shatter into ice shards if you touch it."

Xie Xingran had no choice but to give up struggling and let him hold her for a long time.

When someone passing by turned around to look at her, she embarrassedly and firmly pushed them away.

"Okay, go inside and let the air conditioner warm you up. I'm starving."

Hearing this, Lu Ci stopped being willful and held her hand as they walked towards the store.

But Xie Xingran broke free from his restraints in an instant, refused to shake his hand, and glared at him:

"Your hands are cold too. Don't hold my hand until they're warm."

Lu Ci also pouted in grievance, rubbing his hands back and forth, trying to warm his palms as quickly as possible.

Indoors, as soon as the shabu-shabu pot was put on, Xie Xingran couldn't wait to start cooking.

She was so hungry that her stomach was aching, but she ignored him and just ate her own food.

After a while, Lu Ci rubbed his palms to warm them up and immediately shook her left hand.

"It's hot now, can we hold hands?" he asked.

Xie Xingran was speechless. "Don't be so annoying. Just eat yours." Then she shook off his hand.

This way of getting along with him as usual touched Lu Ci's heart.

I just feel that my wife really loves him and understands him very well.

"Wife, I——"

"Eat first, okay?"

"Oh……"

Someone is unhappy again because his wife's reaction is too infrequent and seems like she doesn't care about him at all.

Seeing him looking down and unhappy, Xie Xingran was kind enough to scoop up a piece of meat for him with his chopsticks, and the man was immediately coaxed into good spirits.

When she had almost finished eating, Lu Ci was still working hard to eat.

When Xie Xingran thought about what he was about to say, he felt extremely angry.

Looking at the person opposite her who was eating without stopping and not forgetting to pick up food for her, she narrowed her eyes and said,

"Lu Ciye, if you dare to betray me in the future, I will make you regret it!"

Lu Ci, who was named, also had a mouth full of rice. He let out a stupid "ah", not understanding why she suddenly mentioned this.

But he still swallowed the food and made a promise:

"If I, Lu Ci, betray Xie Xingran, I will definitely be in trouble, hmm."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xie Xingran covered his mouth in time.

As a result, she felt a greasy hand. She was so shocked that she immediately shook it off, took a tissue to wipe her hands, and glared at the innocent person at the same time.

Lu Ci also chuckled and took a piece of paper to wipe his mouth.

"I'm just mad. Genetics still have a big influence. My grandmother was so kind, but she couldn't reverse the bad blood of my beastly grandfather.

So, I have to find someone who is good in himself, not just good to me."

"Yeah, I'm a very good person." Lu Ci agreed on the surface, but he was confused in his heart.

Why are we talking about her bastard grandfather? Shouldn't we be talking about what happened when he was ten years old?
