On your wedding night, stay with your godbrother; the Empress is practically throwing herself at you

Third floor.

We arrived at the door.

Liu Ruyan then took a deep breath.

He tried hard to adjust his facial expression, forced a smile, and then took out his keys to open the door.

"Dad, Mom, we're back!"

The door opened.

A delicious aroma of food wafted over.

"Oh, Lu's here!"

Hearing the commotion, Liu's mother, who was busy in the kitchen, rushed out with a spatula in hand.

"Come in, come in and sit down!"

"Old man, stop watching TV, Little Lu is here!"

On the sofa, Mr. Liu, who was reading a newspaper while wearing reading glasses, quickly put down his newspaper, stood up, and came over.

"Lu Chuan, you've finally arrived."

Liu's father grabbed Lu Chuan's hand affectionately.

"You look thinner than I expected this week!"

"Are you too tired from work?"

"Or is it that Ruyan didn't take good care of you?"

As he spoke, Liu's father glared at Liu Ruyan.

"You too, no matter how busy you are with work, you still have to take care of your family. Look how tired Xiao Lu is."

Liu Ruyan stood to the side, feeling bitter inside.

But she could only force a smile.

"Dad, I understand."

"I'm fine."

A smile appeared on Lu Chuan's face.

Perhaps Liu Ruyan had a thousand faults, but her parents had nothing but praise for her.

Human hearts are made of flesh and blood.

After spending a long time together, the two elders had long regarded him as their own son.

Unfortunately……

Lu Chuan sighed inwardly.

I probably won't call them Mom and Dad again.

"Come, come, sit down and eat."

Mother Liu brought out the last dish, all of which were Lu Chuan's favorites.

Braised pork belly.

Sweet and sour pork ribs.

Steamed sea bass...

"Xiao Lu, your dad picked out this fish at the market early this morning. It's the freshest one yet, so eat more."

Liu's mother kept piling food onto Lu Chuan's plate, making the bowl look like a small mountain.

"Thanks."

Lu Chuan didn't stand on ceremony and buried himself in his food.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was very warm and cozy.

Mr. Liu chatted with Lu Chuan about everyday things, including interesting things at the zoo, while Mrs. Liu watched with a smile, occasionally chiming in with a few words.

Looking at this scene.

A glimmer of hope suddenly rose in Liu Ruyan's heart.

Lu Chuan's parents like him so much, and Lu Chuan respects his parents so much too.

As long as this relationship exists, Lu Chuan definitely wouldn't have the heart to actually divorce her, right?

As long as I behave well in the future and cut off all contact with Su Yan, I will definitely be able to win back his heart.

Correct!

must be able to!

Just as Liu Ruyan was secretly making up her mind.

"Buzz".

My phone suddenly vibrated.

Liu Ruyan glanced at the screen subconsciously.

Caller ID: Xiaoyan's younger brother.

These four words seemed particularly jarring at that moment.

Liu Ruyan's expression changed drastically, and without even thinking, she reached out and hung up the phone.

My heart was pounding, like I'd been caught doing something wrong.

She glanced at Lu Chuan secretly.

Lu Chuan was looking down, picking out fish bones, and didn't seem to notice.

Liu Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief.

however.

Before she could even catch her breath...

"Buzz".

The phone rang again.

It was Su Yan again.

Liu Ruyan hurriedly hung up again, and even considered turning off the phone altogether.

Who is it?

Father Liu frowned, somewhat displeased, and said...

"You're having dinner, but you keep making phone calls. Is it about work?"

"what……"

"Yes, it's a sales call from the company, ignore it."

Liu Ruyan offered a hasty explanation.

"Business is pretty busy."

Just then, Lu Chuan, who hadn't said much until now, suddenly chuckled.

Immediately.

He even put down his chopsticks.

He picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth, his tone flat.

"Why are you in such a hurry, calling repeatedly without even replying?"

talking.

He also very considerately picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into Liu Ruyan's bowl.

This piece of meat.

But this made Liu Ruyan feel like she was sitting on pins and needles, her whole body stiff.

She could tell.

Lu Chuan's words had a hidden meaning.

"No……"

"No need, it's not important."

Liu Ruyan's voice was trembling, she was very guilty, and she lowered her head, not daring to look Lu Chuan in the eye.

"Like smoke."

Unaware of the awkward atmosphere, Mr. Liu continued his earnest lecture.

"Work is important, but family is more important."

"Look at Xiao Lu, what a good person he is."

"You've been dating for so many years, and now you're married, shouldn't you consider having a child?"

"While your mother and I are still healthy, we can help you take care of the children."

child?

Lu Chuan was taken aback.

My child.

There was a time when he thought the same way.

Once I get married to Liu Ruyan, I'll hurry up and have a child. Then, if I work hard, I can even drive for a ride-hailing service after get off work in the evenings.

Liu Ruyan's job is pretty good, and she earns a decent income.

When that time comes, won't their family of three live a very prosperous life?

but……

When did it start to change?

Did it start with Su Yan?

Or perhaps, everything was actually foreshadowed all along.

Su Yan is not included.

There will also be Zhang Yan.

Wang Yan.

Even Li Yan.

It seemed that he was the only one who dreamed about the future.

Fortunately, he doesn't do it anymore.

They gave up completely.

I've come to terms with it.

At this moment, Liu Ruyan noticed Lu Chuan's emotions and felt so ashamed that she wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground.

"What's wrong?"

Liu's mother, being observant, noticed the awkward atmosphere between the two.

"Xiao Lu, have you been wronged at work?"

"Did you two have a falling out again?"

"If Ruyan bullies you, tell Mom, and Mom will teach her a lesson!"

"Mom, I didn't..."

Liu Ruyan was about to speak.

"Ding-dong."

The doorbell rang suddenly.

The sudden doorbell rang, startling everyone inside.

"Who could it be so late at night?"

Liu's mother put down her chopsticks, somewhat puzzled.

Liu Ruyan's heart skipped a beat, and a very bad premonition welled up inside her.

Could it be...?

impossible?

"I'll go open the door."

Liu Ruyan stood up first and almost ran to the door.

My hand is on the doorknob.

I took a deep breath and flung the door open.

Standing outside the door was indeed Su Yan.

boom!

Liu Ruyan's expression changed drastically in an instant. At that moment, she felt a darkness before her eyes and almost fainted.

It's really him!

How dare he?

How dare he come here?

"you……"

"Why are you here?"

But after realizing what was happening, Liu Ruyan immediately lowered her voice and urged,

"You'd better get out of here!"

"Hurry up!"

As she spoke, she reached out and pushed Su Yan, trying to push him out and then close the door.

He absolutely cannot be seen by his parents!

Lu Chuan absolutely must not see him!

however.

Su Yan remained completely still.

He had one foot wedged in the door crack, his smile unchanged, and his voice even deliberately rose a few decibels.

"Sister Ruyan, don't push me."

"You didn't answer my calls, so I came to deliver something to you."

As he spoke, Su Yan pulled a shiny little thing out of his pocket.

This is an earring.

It's swan-shaped and inlaid with small diamonds.

"This is what you left in my car the month before last. Weren't you looking for it?"

"I only realized this while cleaning the car today; I forgot to give it to you earlier."

"It would be such a waste to lose something so important."
