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

Xie Xingran was not surprised to hear him say this. Having seen his shamelessness, this was not surprising at all.

She just sneered: "I didn't know Ye Fanchi's identity before, but he is a highly educated talent. I trained him for Venus. I believe he would not be so stupid as to go to a company that is on the decline. You can relax. No one will compete with you for a piece of rotten meat."

It is true that no one is trying to snatch it away. Jiang’s is an old industry that has not kept up with the times over the years and has gradually declined.

Even the son born to Jiang's first wife had already opened another company and had great potential. Only Jiang Ci Yang had been obsessed with it for many years and wanted to inherit the Jiang family at all costs.

Perhaps he had thought about reforming the industrial route and reviving the business after inheriting it, but he also needed the strength and capital to do so.

In response to her ridicule, Jiang Ciyang's eyes were sinister, and he spoke after a while:

"That's better, Xie Xingran. Apart from cheating on you, I don't think I've done anything else to let you down. When you were little, my mother often invited you and your siblings to dinner. You..."

"Oh." Xie Xingran sneered and interrupted him: "Then why don't you tell me that my brother often gives you free tutoring? If not, why would your mother be so kind to invite us to dinner?

My grandma never starved us, but a few meals have become what you call a favor. If I had known this, my brother shouldn't have helped you with your studies."

At that time, her mother asked her to wash dishes, and said with a smile that girls should be virtuous from a young age so that they would be accepted by their husbands.

After her brother found out, he never stayed for dinner again.

Jiang Ciyang was choked and speechless, his face looking uglier than a rat in a stinking ditch.

He seemed to have recalled the past, and a rare flash of confusion and discomfort appeared in his eyes. He didn't know how they had ended up in this situation.

After a long while, he said, "You are becoming more and more selfish and narrow-minded." Then he left quickly.

Xie Xingran rolled her eyes. His words no longer mattered to her and she was too lazy to argue with a scum.

She got in the car and slowly drove to Lu's to pick someone up.

But when he arrived at Lu's, Xiao Zhang told him that Lu Ci had left early because of something.

Xiao Zhang: "Young Madam, don't you know?"

Xie Xingran checked his phone and found a message from him on WeChat.

Let her go home first, he has something to do and will be back later.

Jiang Ci Yang had disgusted me before, so I didn't hear the message from Lu Ci and forgot to check my phone.

"Just saw it." She lowered her head and replied to Xiao Zhang.

[Where are you? What are you doing?]

There was no reply on the screen for a long time. She pursed her lips, a hint of unhappiness passing through her heart.

In the past month, apart from the loving time after returning home, he rarely sent her daily chat messages in his spare time, and they rarely had lunch together.

This is the second time that there has been no news from her at night. I really don’t know what he is hiding from her?

Is he preparing a surprise for her?

Xie Xingran thought about it, and suddenly curled up the corners of his mouth... Well, this is the style he can do.

Looking up at Xiao Zhang who hadn't left yet, she quietly inquired about the news:

"Xiao Zhang, have you noticed anything different or unusual about Lu Ci recently?"

Xiao Zhang thought about it carefully, then shook his head: "Young Madam, I don't know either. Mr. Lu has always been fair in his official duties and never lets us interfere in his personal affairs."

Xie Xingran nodded slowly and thoughtfully: "Okay, it's okay, go home early and accompany your wife."

Xiao Zhang scratched his head sheepishly: "Okay, goodbye, Madam."

—

Xie Xingran went home and simply cooked a bowl of tomato and egg noodles.

Lu Ci had just called her and told her that he had to meet a client on short notice and might be home late, so he told her to go to bed early.

Without him as a human pillow, Xie Xingran took a shower and lay on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep at all.

She had no choice but to take his giant panda out of the closet, hugged it tightly in her arms, and slowly fell asleep.

When Xie Xingran woke up again, he was suffocated by breathing.

Under the warm yellow desk lamp, the giant panda in her arms has turned into Lu Ciye. He has changed into pajamas and exudes the same bath scent as her. He hugs her and kisses her tenderly and lovingly.

Xie Xingran placed his palm against his chest and breathed slightly.

"What time is it now?" she asked.

In fact, what she wanted to say more was: It’s so late and you’re still bothering her. Lu Ci, stop being a dog and stop being a human.

Lu Ci naturally understood the hidden meaning in her words, and stroked her hair with a smile.

His warm breath sprayed on her ear: "It's still early, honey, it's only eleven o'clock, there's still an hour to waste."

Xie Xingran became very upset when he heard this.

I was tricked by him before, saying that staying up late would only count as staying up late after midnight, and then he always dragged me along, and I would go crazy before the staying-up-late time and stop at my limit.

"Get lost! I was already asleep, and you woke me up. Have I been giving you too much face lately?"

Hearing her merciless scolding, Lu Ci just smiled foolishly in her neck for a long time.

When he looked up again, he kissed her between the eyebrows and said, "Okay, I won't bother you anymore. Go to sleep. I'm tired too."

Xie Xingran couldn't feel sleepy for a while, and she was very dissatisfied with his behavior of waking her up and asking her to go back to sleep.

So he said in a weird tone:

"Hey, what made you look so tired? Didn't someone say you'll never get tired in bed?"

Lu Ci also sighed lovingly and helplessly.

Alas, my wife is like this. She always shoots herself in the foot just to vent her anger.

Thinking of this, he turned over, pressed the person under him, and started to move his hands and feet:

"It seems that if I don't prove it tonight, my wife will think I'm weak."

"No..." Xie Xing realized belatedly that he had brought trouble upon himself again. He tried to explain but his lips were blocked.

It’s past midnight, but the movement never stops…

—

The holiday began the next day and they stayed at the old house for three days.

The third night, New Year’s Eve.

Everyone in the Lu family gathered together, had dinner, watched fireworks and firecrackers, and played on the lawn until very late.

After entering the house, the elders began to give New Year's money to the younger ones one by one.

Lu Ci and Xie Xingran were also considered elders, and they gave several large red envelopes to the children of their cousins.

In this way, several red envelopes can be used to offset each other.

The aunt joked with them:

"Look, why don't you give birth to a child soon, otherwise you won't be able to make back the New Year's money you receive every year."

Lu Ci also waved his hand nonchalantly, raised his chin and said generously:

"It's okay. My wife and I earn much more than you do. We're a family, so don't envy us for being rich. We should all be given money."

Everyone was so happy that someone jokingly cursed, "This kid is so proud of himself."
