TRAIN STATION.

Fu Cheng parked the car, and the group walked together toward the station entrance.

Although he grew up in Nanchang, this was the first time he had ever been to a train station, so he felt a little unfamiliar with it.

In contrast, Lu Shiyi was much more familiar with this place, which held too many memories of her leaving home and returning home since she started school and started working.

So as soon as she entered the station, she walked to the front with ease.

Just like when they picked up their parents a few days ago, Lu Shiyi had one arm on each side, and the three of them walked side by side in front, while Fu Cheng carried the luggage and followed silently behind.

Since it wasn't a holiday peak season and it was evening, there weren't many people in the station. Lu Shiyi would occasionally turn her head to look behind her and always see her husband following them at a distance of about one or two meters.

For some reason, I felt a sense of peace in my heart.

Although the two had a whirlwind marriage and hadn't developed any real feelings for each other yet, and were essentially a couple in name only, Fu Cheng behind her gave her a sense of security in the city, like a drifting duckweed finally taking root and no longer swaying in the wind.

However, Fu Cheng was unaware of his wife's change in mindset. He carried the luggage in both hands and followed behind his wife and the other two, quietly acting as a porter.

Upon arriving at the waiting hall, Lu's mother hurriedly took the luggage, saying, "Xiao Cheng, you've worked so hard. Please sit down and rest."

Fu Cheng wasn't used to people being too enthusiastic towards him, so he gave a faint "hmm" and bent down to sit down.

Her long, shapely legs stood out even more.

Lu's mother then sat down in the seat next to her son-in-law.

She turned her head and saw her daughter Lu Shiyi standing there without moving. She immediately said in an annoyed tone, "Shiyi, don't you have any sense? Xiao Cheng has been driving and carrying luggage. He must be very thirsty. Go and buy him some water."

Lu Shiyi was stunned when she heard this. Her mother's face changed too quickly. She was smiling kindly just a moment ago, but how come she immediately changed her expression when it came to her?

She gave a somewhat dejected "oh" and turned to leave.

It wasn't that she didn't want to buy water, but she felt that since her husband appeared in front of her mother, her status had changed, and she could hardly feel her mother's love anymore.

Lu Shiyi had just turned around and taken a step when she heard Fu Cheng, who was sitting in his seat, say, "I'll go."

But before he could finish speaking, Lu's mother stopped him in time, saying, "Let Eleven go. She lacks exercise and it'll be good for her to get some exercise."

Okay, she didn't need to stop now that she had taken that first step; she just went out to buy water.

After Lu Shiyi left, Lu's mother took the opportunity to have a private conversation with her son-in-law.

Looking at her son-in-law, whom she was completely satisfied with, she said gently, "Xiao Cheng, you and Shiyi were college classmates, so you must know each other to some extent. Shiyi has always been a very strong-willed person, and she can be quite stubborn when she insists on something. It's inevitable that there will be some bumps in the road for a couple, so please don't take it personally."

Fu Cheng stared intently at Lu's mother in front of him. He thought that most mothers-in-law would start their first conversation with their son-in-law by asking questions like, "Who else is in your family? What do your parents do? Where do they work? How much do they earn?"

He gave a low "hmm" and didn't say anything more.

Lu's mother continued, "This girl, Eleven, is very independent and self-reliant both at home and outside. She likes to shoulder everything herself and never lets the family worry. I've always hoped she could find someone to rely on, someone who can love and care for her in a place where her father and I can't reach or see her. Fortunately, she met you, so I'm going to be selfish for once and entrust her to you. I hope you can be her support. Her father and I aren't capable enough to take care of her, so we can only try our best not to be a burden to you..."

Fu Cheng was silent for a moment, just about to speak, when Lu Shiyi walked over carrying some things.

Seeing this, Lu's mother also ended the conversation.

Lu Shiyi took a bottle of water for herself and her husband, and left the rest for her parents to eat in the car.

She put down her things, and before she could even sit down, she heard Lu's mother urge her, "You should go back quickly, it's not safe to drive any later."

Lu Shiyi straightened up and took her mother's arm. "Mom, I want to talk to you some more. Can we stay a little longer?"

"What are you saying? We've already talked so much on the way here. You're not tired from the ride, but the driver is. You should go back early so Xiao Cheng can get some rest."

With that, they chased Lu Shiyi and his wife away.

When Lu Shiyi left reluctantly, she glared at her husband beside her, angry that he had taken away the maternal love that should have belonged to her.

Fu Cheng helplessly shrugged, indicating that he was also innocent.

However, Lu Shiyi was unaware that when she turned back after glaring at her husband, Fu Cheng was looking at her with deep eyes.

Lu's mother's words made him feel tenderness and comfort towards his wife.

It turns out that, like him, she had the love of her parents and a harmonious family.

However, Lu's mother's last words, "I will try my best not to be a burden to you," made him feel vaguely uneasy.

As a seasoned business president, he has gone through countless business negotiations, is well-versed in various rhetoric, and has developed an extremely keen insight into language.

In his view, nothing anyone says is completely meaningless nonsense; they all contain some information to some extent.

On the way back, Fu Cheng said to Lu Shiyi in the passenger seat, "Let's find a place to have dinner first, and then we'll go back."

"it is good."

When Fu Cheng mentioned dinner, Lu Shiyi realized that dinner time was almost over.

She turned to look at Fu Cheng and said sincerely, "Thank you for today."

Fu Cheng's expression remained unchanged, but his tone carried a hint of amusement, "Thank me for winning over Mom and Dad?"

Lu Shiyi's eyes widened instantly, clearly Fu Cheng's words were completely beyond her expectations.

She never imagined that her usually aloof husband would have another side to his personality.

His words sounded like he was deliberately teasing her, which reminded her of her mother's differential treatment.

Lu Shiyi paused for a moment, her tone changing slightly, "Yes, so Mr. Fu, shouldn't you treat us to a big meal to celebrate?"

Fu Cheng nodded solemnly, "Yes, that's fine."

At this point, their conversation ended.

Lu Shizhi took the two of them's words as just a casual joke and didn't take them to heart at all.

Soon, the car stopped at a parking lot along the way.

After getting out of the car, Fu Cheng took Lu Shiyi directly to a rather high-end restaurant.

The two chose a seat by the window.

Lu Shiyi opened the menu, and the prices instantly reminded her of her earlier joke.

After flipping through the menu, she silently looked up at Fu Cheng across from her and said, word by word:

Can I take back what I just said?
