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

The next day, the two attended a chamber of commerce together.

At Lu Ciye's deliberate request, Xie Xingran had to be more tolerant and doting towards him than usual.

The two of them seem to be very affectionate, and although there is some acting involved, it doesn't feel fake.

After that, they made headlines again, and few people questioned their relationship anymore. They were even called a model couple by the outside world.

At this point, Lu Ci was satisfied and finally stopped caring about online public opinion.

Xie Xingran didn't care about those empty things at all. He lived his own life. If he was empty inside, no matter how much he acted, it would be useless.

But Lu Ci is someone who cares about both the outside world and the inside.

They wanted the whole world to know that they were a loving couple.

Too high-profile and ostentatious.

"Of course I have to show off to others since I have such a beautiful and outstanding wife!"

That's what he said, Xie Xingran nodded helplessly at his raised forehead.

"Okay, I know you like to show off. But don't be so ostentatious when you go to the countryside this time, or the village elders will spit at you and drown you."

The death anniversary of Xie Xingran’s grandmother and brother is approaching. In the past, she would go to the countryside with her sister Ayan to live for a week.

She originally thought she would go alone this year, but she never expected that God would bless her and let her meet Lu Ciye.

After knowing that she was going to the countryside, Lu Ci insisted that she take him to meet her parents.

Xie Xingran naturally wanted him to accompany him.

After hearing her advice, Lu Ci curled his lips and responded perfunctorily.

I was thinking:

"Hmph, with a husband as handsome and rich as me, what's wrong with showing off a little? Let them see what kind of good life the person they call a disaster star is leading. I'll see if they're jealous. I'll make them jealous to death! You dare to call my wife a disaster star? I ****"

No matter how well you live, they will still be jealous and say what they have to say.

Xie Xingran sighed, knowing that it was useless for him to persuade him, so he could only stop him when the time comes.

The original plan was to go there early tomorrow morning, but a call from my third cousin Lu Yunwan this morning changed their plans.

I had said before that I wanted to come and eat the food cooked by Lu Ci, but I never found the chance.

The online public opinion was so huge this time that Lu Yunwan wanted to come and see Xie Xingran and try Lu Ciye’s cooking.

But they haven’t changed it back yet, so how could Xie Xingran know how to cook?

So Lu Ci also lied and said that they had gone to the countryside today and were not at home, and they would talk about it after they came back.

The lie was told, and in order to avoid being discovered, the two had to pack their luggage in a hurry.

You Lu Ci also drove to the countryside.

Ever since he learned to drive and sat in the driver's seat, Lu Ci basically no longer gets carsick.

Seeing this, Xie Xingran was a little tempted. After Lu Ciye's persuasion, she also decided to learn how to drive when she had time.

The journey from the city center of City A to Qiaoba Village takes more than seven hours.

Xie Xingran didn't sleep along the way.

Either talk to him, hum a song to him, or feed him some snacks.

Lu Ci also squinted his eyes in enjoyment and sighed:

"This is the most comfortable driving journey I've ever had. It really is good to have a wife."

In the past, when I took care of his mother or grandmother, they would sleep the whole time and not do anything.

It’s different now that he has a wife. He doesn’t feel lonely no matter how far the journey is.

When we arrived at the village entrance, it was already past four in the afternoon.

From a distance, Lu Ci also saw the lush and sturdy osmanthus tree in front of him.

He had seen this osmanthus tree, which was more than a hundred years old, in Xie Xingran's photo album.

It's only the end of August and the osmanthus flowers on the trees have not yet bloomed.

Lu Ci also wanted to stay until mid-September to see the flowers bloom, but they were only staying for a week, so they probably wouldn't be able to see them this time. He might be able to see them after the National Day holiday.

But what he didn't know was that his wish to see Osmanthus would come true on this trip.

Ordinary cars driving into the village generally do not attract the attention of villagers.

But...who made Lu Ci drive a very flashy car this time, the kind that looks very expensive at first glance.

Xie Xingran tried to persuade him before leaving, but to no avail.

It was the end of summer vacation, and many children stopped to watch. It was obvious that children had no resistance to such a handsome car.

The sounds of "wa wah wah" made Lu Ci feel happy.

He even raised his eyebrows and smiled at her smugly, as if to say: See how popular I am.

It was not until the car stopped under the pear tree outside the courtyard that everyone knew who was coming.

The next person to come down was Lu Ciye, and several children came forward and called out, "Auntie."

Although Xie Xingran has made money over the years, he has not forgotten to give back to his hometown. He has donated hundreds of thousands of yuan to a nearby primary school. Every time he comes back, he brings candy to the children in the village.

So she is quite popular with children.

I also told Lu Ci about this situation on the way. He didn't dislike children. He greeted them with a smile and gave them candy.

"Auntie, is this person your boyfriend?" a child asked.

Xie Xingran looked gently at the child who was speaking. This was the little grandson of Uncle Zhang.

Over the years, the family closest to her in the village is Uncle Zhang's.

For the past ten years, this small courtyard has been taken care of by Uncle Zhang's family. If she wants to open the door and go in, she must first go to Uncle Zhang's house to get the key.

Lu Ci also rubbed his head and proudly introduced: "Xiao Hao, she is my aunt's husband!"

"Ah!" The children opened their mouths in surprise: "Auntie is getting married?!"

Lu Ci also raised his eyebrows: "Yes, during the days when aunt is here, you can come to ask aunt or uncle for wedding candy. I guarantee you will have enough to eat."

The children clapped their hands and cheered.

Xie Xingran sighed helplessly. She had to be the bad guy again. "Eating too much candy is bad for your teeth. Just two or three a day is enough."

Despite this, the children were still very happy.

Some neighbors came to watch the fun, and Lu Ci introduced them one by one in a high-profile manner, saying that this was his "husband".

Many people came over and praised Xie Xingran for his handsome appearance.

Once the conversation started, some villagers began to inquire about Lu Ciye's family background, work, etc.

After casually answering one or two questions, Lu Ci stopped talking at the right time, saying that he was too tired after driving all the way here and wanted to talk again in a few days.

The villagers tactfully dispersed and went back to their homes.

I could also hear some people talking:

"Xie Xingran seems to be much more talkative and smiling this time. It's true that people still need to get married. Look, his temperament changes after marriage. I'll tell my daughter about this when I get home..."

When Xie Xingran heard this, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"You're quite down-to-earth?" she teased.

"Of course, you knew it on the first day?" Lu Ci's tone was quite proud.

He took out the gift he had prepared long ago from the trunk and handed it to her: "Come on, you carry it. This is our first visit, so you have to help me behave well."

Seeing that he didn't look nervous at all, Xie Xingran looked at him with a higher opinion.

But then again, she's the one who should be nervous.
