I asked you to go down the mountain and get married, not to shock the world!

"Uncle Long... I..." Dong Chuyan blushed and bit her lower lip and said, "I'm not Mingchuan's girlfriend. This bracelet doesn't fit me..."

Long Feiyu laughed out loud.

"Mingchuan, your girlfriend is very sensible. To save money for us, she even said she's not your girlfriend! Haha!"

Mingchuan was also helpless and quietly poked her with his elbow.

He whispered, "Long Bo gave it to you, just take it."

Dong Chuyan was stunned...

Catch... catch...

She looked at the group of people in front of her, and a strange emotion arose in her heart.

If she really accepted it, wouldn't she have met Mingchuan's parents before Leng Xi, who had already married Mingchuan?

This... this is too weird, is it really okay?

However, if I continue to make excuses now, it would seem hypocritical.

Dong Chuyan had no choice but to accept it and whispered her thanks to everyone.

"Thank you, Long Bo..."

Long Feiyu said to Mingchuan happily, "This little girl is so sensible. You must treat her well in the future!"

Mingchuan smiled and nodded.

Various gifts were pushed around by this group of elders, and the chopsticks on the table were not idle either. The bowls of Mingchuan and Dong Chuyan were piled like a small mountain.

Shu Rufu covered her mouth and chuckled: "Alright, you guys, what are you going to become of it?"

Everyone smiled at each other, amused by their own concern that they had nowhere to put it for many years.

But it was this happy side that made Mingchuan feel as if something was wrong.

He didn't often read people's faces, but at this moment, facing several uncles, he inadvertently saw something that shouldn't be there.

Judging from the facial features of these uncles, it is indeed as Shu Rufu said that they were noble people in their early years, but they did not have a bad life in the following years. At least they were still the best among many people.

But looking further ahead...

They would all become lonely!

Mingchuan was subconsciously startled for a moment, his brows furrowed so tightly that he could have pinched a fly to death.

Could it be because of him?

The people around him who were chatting and laughing happily noticed that something was wrong with him and asked in a gentle voice, "Xiaochuan, what's wrong? Is there anything that doesn't suit your taste?"

Mingchuan shook his head, "No, I just suddenly remembered something."

"Uncles, if it's convenient, can I see your ancestral home?"

"Ancestral home?" Long Feiyu was the first to express doubt. "Xiaochuan, it's fine for you to see it, but our ancestral home is not in the capital. It's quite far away."

"What brings this up on you?"

Mingchuan pursed his lips and looked at the mountain of food in the bowls. In the end, he didn't intend to disturb everyone's interest at this moment.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's nothing, let's eat first."

"Okay, if you have something to say, you must tell me." Long Feiyu warned earnestly.

Mingchuan felt a little uncomfortable after eating this meal.

Sitting at the dinner table, he couldn't help but subconsciously look at the layout of the entire house and the appearances of his uncles.

They were all in good health and didn't feel any discomfort.

The house is fine, just some minor layout changes are needed.

The meal lasted more than half an hour, and then everyone sat in the courtyard and chatted for a while.

When I looked at the time again, a long time had passed.

Just when Dong Chuyan was making the elders happy, she suddenly received a work call.

"Hello, Sister Li?" Dong Chuyan walked to a deserted place and picked up the phone.

The agent on the other end of the phone sounded a little anxious, "Chu Yan, have you settled down in Beijing?"

"Well... sort of. What's wrong?"

"Do you remember Mo Zong?"

"Mo Zong?"

The name jumped in Dong Chuyan's mind. After thinking for a while, he remembered that it was a famous director who was very popular in the entertainment industry before.

This great director usually travels abroad on business, and all the films he shoots have a great impact internationally.

It is said that this person's home is in the capital.

Could it be that her agent arranged a new job for her in Beijing so quickly?

Dong Chuyan: "I remember, what's wrong?"

Agent Sister Li's voice sounded very excited: "He just came back from abroad recently. As soon as he arrived in Beijing, he learned that you were also in Beijing. He wants you to meet him and arrange for you to be the female Mingchuan in his next film."

"Now?"

"Yes, now! Pack up, I'll send you the address, and you can hurry over."

The agent hung up the phone and the address was sent over.

The sudden news caught Dong Chuyan off guard.

She looked back at the people who were chatting and laughing, and walked forward reluctantly.

"Uncles, Aunt Shu, I'm sorry, I just received a call saying I have a job to do tonight, so I have to leave first. I'll come visit you with Mingchuan another day."

Shu Rufu smiled and said, "Okay, I know you're busy, go ahead."

"Xiaochuan, it's getting late. Go and send Chuyan off. There will be plenty of time later. There's no need to rush."

Shu Rufu pushed Mingchuan.

The two greeted each other and walked out together. Mingchuan got in the car and Dong Chuyan sat in the passenger seat. She touched the jade bracelet on her wrist, took it off reluctantly, and put it back in Mingchuan's hand.

Mingchuan was stunned: "What's wrong?"

Dong Chuyan smiled and said, "Just now I saw that the elders were in high spirits, and it was difficult for me to refuse, so I put it on first."

"Now it's time to return it to you. After all, I'm not your girlfriend..."

Seeing her slightly disappointed, Mingchuan couldn't help but teasing her, "If it's not, then just say it."

"Ah?" Dong Chuyan was stunned.

"Nothing. I told you I'd give it to you, so why would I take it back? Wear it yourself."

Mingchuan was about to pull his wrist back, but after thinking about it, he took it back.

"You wait a moment."

Then, under Dong Chuyan's eyes, he took out a packet of medicine powder and carefully applied the powder around the jade bracelet.

The smell of this medicinal powder was surprisingly fragrant. Dong Chuyan sniffed it twice and felt a refreshing sensation as if her chest had opened up a lot.

"what is this?"

She asked curiously.

Mingchuan: "It's nothing. The situation in the capital is complicated. You have to work, and I can't keep you hanging on my belt all the time. The powder on this jade bracelet can protect you and keep no one away from you."

"When someone with no ill intentions approaches you, they'll smell something like perfume."

"But if someone harbors evil intentions, this powder will flow along with the excited molecules in their body and knock them unconscious."

Mingchuan's words left Dong Chuyan stunned.

"So magical?"

"Okay."

Mingchuan applied the medicine powder and returned the thing to her.

Dong Chuyan put it on sweetly and said, "Then I will... take good care of it."

Seeing that she was so shy, Mingchuan couldn't help but ask directly while driving.

"Dong Chuyan, do you like me?"
