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

When the first snow arrived, City A was covered in white for several days in a row. The sky was also gray and there was no sunlight at all.

It was not until New Year's Day that the first ray of sunshine finally arrived. The snow melted quietly, making the temperature in the air a little colder.

During the New Year's Day holiday, Xie Xingran and Lu Ci did not go anywhere else. After lunch, they went shopping in the city center and bought a lot of things.

Because it is a holiday, the shopping mall is crowded with people.

I met Ye Fanchi unexpectedly. The plain middle-aged woman holding his arm was his mother.

Mother Ye is a single mother who has never remarried for many years and has been raising her son wholeheartedly. She is very grateful for Xie Xingran's support over the years.

Now when they met, Mother Ye was the first to see her, and she immediately let go of her son and came over to greet people with a happy smile.

"Aran, Aran! I didn't expect to meet you here. How lucky."

Xie Xingran saw the person coming and quickly reacted, saying with a smile:

"Aunt Ye, are you guys out shopping too?"

Mother Ye looked at her son as he approached and smiled, "Yes, he insisted on dragging me here to buy me clothes."

Then, the topic naturally changed: "This must be Xingran's husband, oh, he is really handsome, and he is a perfect match for A'ran."

Lu Ci didn't wait for her to introduce herself. He narrowed his eyes and smiled, extending his free hand.

"Hello, hello, Aunt Ye, you really have a good eye for talent. Yes, I am my wife's husband. My name is Lu Ciye. You can call me Xiao."

Xie Xingran held his forehead and sighed slightly. He was still like this.

When they hear others praising them for being a match made in heaven, they can't help but feel proud and go up to start a conversation.

Mother Ye knew Lu Ciye's identity and didn't expect a CEO to be so easy-going. She immediately shook hands with him and the two started chatting with Xie Xingran as the center.

Xie Xingran was helpless. He looked at Ye Fanchi, who was looking down at something, and said with concern:

"How have you been at school lately?"

Ye Fanchi came back to his senses, looked up at her for a moment, then looked away slightly, and replied:

"It's fine. The teachers and classmates treat me very well. Don't worry, sister."

Xie Xingran nodded and said, "If you have any difficulties, don't force yourself to bear them. Tell me and I will help you if I can."

Ye Fanchi looked at her, his eyebrows curved suddenly: "Well, thank you sister~"

From the moment they started talking, Lu Ciye's attention was drawn to them. When he heard Ye Fanchi calling her "sister" instead of "Sister Xing", he immediately snorted in dissatisfaction.

If Xie Xingran could still hear his inner voice, he would hear: Thank you~sister~~Hehe, green tea!

Seeing that their conversation was getting deeper and deeper, Lu Ci also urgently ended the chat with Ye's mother.

The four of them separated and went their separate ways.

Because all the items he bought were carried in one hand, Xie Xingran noticed the veins on the back of his hand and said considerately:

"Please give me some."

Lu Ci did not refuse, and gave out two pockets, not asking for more, and then turned around and said:

"Thank you~thank you~sister~~"

Xie Xingran shuddered and looked at him speechlessly, as he seemed to have a curved lip but was secretly jealous.

After being together for so long, Xie Xingran knew what he cared about.

In order to prevent the situation from getting worse, she admitted her mistake very quickly:

"Okay, okay, I was wrong. I should correct his address."

But the person's mother is right next to him, and correcting him specifically would seem like an overreaction. I can only remind him privately later.

"Humph." Lu Ci also turned his head: "You are knowingly committing a crime, and your guilt is even greater."

Xie Xingran has always had little patience. Seeing him like this, he said coldly:

"Lu, you're so narrow-minded. Don't push your luck. I've admitted my mistake, what else do you want? Do you think it's fun to keep pestering me?"

She was already annoyed by the previous “The most beautiful in the world”, and if there was another “Thank you, sister”, she would be annoyed to death.

Lu Ci also heard this and clenched his fists, looking at her angrily:

"Xie Xingran, listen to what you're saying, is it reasonable? You're just like a scumbag, your words are exactly the same."

Xie Xingran didn't care about this, "Oh, so what?"

"So?!" Lu Ci's chest also rose and fell a few times, but he was forced to suppress it. Then he said aggrievedly: "So sister, don't treat me like this, I will be sad."

Xie Xingran, who was soft-hearted, took off the label of scumbag and explained and comforted him in a gentle voice.

Only then did Lu Ci feel satisfied with the treatment he received.

Finally, he took the opportunity to make a request:

"Wife, only I can call you sister, and he is not allowed to call you sister, okay?

And his smile is just like Jiang Ciyang's fake smile. I even suspect that you funded him because of Jiang Ciyang."

"How is that possible? I'm just attracted by his learning ability." Xie Xingran said innocently but doubtfully, "They're not really alike in any way, are they? How come I didn't notice?"

"That's because you only see me. It's normal that you can't find me." He said narcissistically, and then said:

"They don't look alike normally, but just now I noticed that when he smiled, the outline between his eyebrows and eyes was about 50% similar to Jiang Ciyang's."

Xie Xingran didn't take it seriously and laughed at him:

"Why? So you have Ye Fanchi in your eyes, and you can even see this."

Lu Ci immediately became like a lion with its fur standing on end.

"Honey, what are you talking about? How can there be any man in my eyes?! You are the only one!"

Xie Xingran quickly smoothed things over: "Yes, yes, it's just me, only me. Don't be so loud, speak softly."

Lu Ci also seemed angry. He turned around and walked ahead without waiting for her.

Xie Xingran was a little stunned, standing there in a daze, not knowing why he reacted so strongly.

Within three seconds, Lu Ci also stopped, turned to look at her, and said, "Wife, do you still want to buy the bracelet?"

"Ah? Yes, yes."

"Why don't you just follow your husband?"

Xie Xingran walked to his side in a daze, and the next second his hand was held.

After a while, she turned her head to look at the person who had softened, and said with a curled lip:

"Lu Ciye, do you know how fierce you were just now? You even asked me if I wanted a bracelet, as if your private money could buy me the bracelet I liked."

Lu Ci also felt guilty but he did not show weakness, "I'm not vicious."

She: "Then you pay me later."

Someone immediately gave in: "I was wrong, honey. I gave you all my salary. Do you want me to take out a loan to buy it for you?"

"No," she said, "you can borrow it from Mom, and you don't have to pay interest."

Lu Ci's face also fell, and he became depressed and silent.

Xie Xingran, like a victorious rooster, smiled and squeezed his palm.

After that, the two of them walked around and didn't go home until six in the afternoon.

We took a shower and blow-dried each other's hair.

When it was Lu Ciye's turn, he said, "Thank you, sister. You are so kind."

Xie Xingran rolled her eyes. This was the umpteenth time he had said this to her today.

She was really jealous. The situation had deteriorated from the beginning, and she even admitted her mistake.

When I went to bed, I felt a headache when I saw the big red wedding quilt he had changed into.

But this does not prevent the two from being intimate.

When Xie Xingran was deeply immersed in it and couldn't extricate himself, he suddenly heard a familiar voice:

"Thank you, sister~~"

I had a legitimate reason before, but now I do it for no reason. Why should I say thank you to her?

"Say...thank you, thank you...for what?" She asked intermittently, her voice breaking into pieces amidst the ups and downs.

Lu Ci also buried his head in her neck, his movements never stopping, breathing heavily, and said with a curled lip:

"Of course, thank you, sister~ for giving me *."
