In the evening, his parents had invited Gong Xueyan to dinner at their home. He had postponed several times, but this time he really couldn't refuse.

But Wanwan was coming, how could Lu Jinxuan refuse?

Yu Sangwan arrived quickly. Lu Jinxuan hadn't signed off on the last document he was holding when she darted out of the lounge. She took the elevator that directly connected the underground garage to his lounge.

"Mengmeng."

Yu Sangwan walked over with a smile, and Lu Jinxuan turned his chair as she approached and sat on his lap.

Such a simple gesture, yet Lu Jinxuan felt himself easily stirred.

"Mengmeng." Yu Sangwan blinked innocently at him, "What's with that look?"

Lu Jinxuan wrapped his arms around her waist and gazed at her intently, "What have you been doing these days?"

"Playing." Yu Sangwan giggled, "What else could I be doing? I know you're busy, so I didn't tell you..."

Lu Jinxuan frowned, "School is all set up, aren't you going to attend?"

"I don't feel like it for now." Yu Sangwan said as she began unbuttoning his shirt, her rounded nails teasing his Adam's apple.

Lu Jinxuan felt parched, grabbing her hand, his voice altered, "Wanwan..."

"Ah!" Yu Sangwan suddenly remembered something and stood up abruptly.

With her leaving, Lu Jinxuan felt an overwhelming emptiness once again.

Yu Sangwan, the little spirit essence, actually went to lock the inner room's door.

"..." Lu Jinxuan's throat rolled, this little elf...

"Mengmeng." Yu Sangwan snuggled into his arms, as if boneless, "Haven't seen you in days, did you miss me?"

This "miss"... of course Lu Jinxuan knew what it meant.

He found it unbelievable and asked aloud, "Here?"

"Hehe." Yu Sangwan squinted with a grin and nodded, "The door's locked!"

With her being so proactive, how could Lu Jinxuan refuse? Besides, he had no desire to refuse! Why should he refuse?

But, while kissing her, Lu Jinxuan said in the pauses, "Wanwan, no... we don't have that..."

Yu Sangwan paused, her expression dimmed, "Didn't I freeze in Antarctica and can't get pregnant? You don't have to deliberately show me, I already know... Even without precautions, I won't easily conceive..."

"..." Lu Jinxuan halted, holding her compassionately, "How did you find out?"

"Huh." Yu Sangwan raised her neck elegantly, her swan-like neck drawn with effortless lines, "You had someone boil womb-warming soup for me every day, along with those supplements. Did you really think I knew nothing? Even if I didn't, I could search online!"

Lu Jinxuan lowered his eyes, kissing her temple.

"It doesn't matter, I'm just afraid you'll be sad."

"Hmm... I know."

Their hands intertwined, inseparable. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

From the office to the lounge...

For a long time, unable to stop...

...

At Original House, Lu Yusen and Mrs. Lu both wore unpleasant expressions, and Gong Xueyan sat there even more awkwardly.

Luckily, they had only invited Gong Xueyan today. If their parents had been there as well, it would have been even worse.

Lu Yusen frowned, unable to resist blaming his wife, "How are you educating our son?"

"Why blame me again? Is our son only my responsibility?"

Seeing the couple about to argue, Gong Xueyan hastily interjected, "Uncle, Auntie, let me call Jinxuan! We arranged to meet today, he must be delayed because he's so busy..."

Saying so, she stood up and went aside to make a call.

...

The phone vibrated on the table.

Amid the sound of water flowing in the bathroom, mingled with amorous noises... who would pay it any attention?

Even if it started with Yu Sangwan seducing him, ultimately, she was the one pleading for mercy, "I can't anymore, let's stop here."

Lu Jinxuan lifted her and laid her on the bed, bending down to kiss her, his voice tender, "The next time you disappear, it might take longer for me to let you go."

"Hmm..." Yu Sangwan hummed wrapped in the blankets, "Lu Mengmeng, be honest! Have you practiced 'Latin' dance?"

Lu Jinxuan paused, looking at her in confusion, "Latin dance? What's the joke?"

Yu Sangwan's face flushed crimson, turning her back to him.

Seeing this, Lu Jinxuan finally responded. Both irritated and amused, he raised his hand and slapped her bottom hard, "Yu Sangwan! You need to get married soon! How could a girl speak such dirty jokes? You're not even a driving expert! They're driving cars, you're flying planes!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Sangwan opened her eyes, "You'll marry me?"

"Of course!" Lu Jinxuan pinched her nose, "Who else did you think you'd marry?"

He turned away to reach for the phone on the table.

Yu Sangwan stared at his back, her thoughts racing... Despite his confident assertions, the fact was he was about to get engaged!

Lu Jinxuan unlocked his phone, unsurprisingly... Gong Xueyan had contacted him several times already.

With Wanwan here, he couldn't reply to her.

Yu Sangwan watched his back, guessing what he was thinking right now. Suddenly, she reached out and hooked his finger, blinking pitifully, "Mengmeng..."

"Hmm?" Lu Jinxuan turned back to look at her, lovingly ruffling her hair, "What's up?"

Her stomach cooperatively growled, and Lu Jinxuan laughed, "Get up, let's eat."

Yu Sangwan snuggled further into the duvet, wrapping herself like a dumpling, "I can't move."

Lu Jinxuan had no choice but to bend down to pick her up, "No need for you to walk... don't I exist?"

"Hehe. Okay." Yu Sangwan laughed, climbing up to cling to him.

All the way, Lu Jinxuan carried her to the car.

"Wanwan." Lu Jinxuan spoke to the person on his back.

"Hmm?"

"Let me know where you're going from now on... Also, if you don't want to go to Holy City by yourself, just tell me." Lu Jinxuan paused, trying to make his tone sound less like he was reprimanding, "If you suddenly disappear like that, I'll be very worried and anxious."

Yu Sangwan froze, reaching out to press his chest, "Is it all me inside here?"

"Of course." Lu Jinxuan nodded decisively.

Yu Sangwan wanted to ask, then why are you getting engaged to someone else?

But she couldn't say it out loud, fearing that once said... the illusion between them would collapse. Without breaking it, at least she could stay by his side!

She couldn't help but mock herself, Yu Sangwan, look at you... how did you become so humble? Where are your principles? Your determination?

Yu Sangwan wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, fully aware that even such an illusion... couldn't be maintained for long...

In Lu Jinxuan's pocket, the phone kept flashing. He had silenced it, but from her position she could see the light from his pocket... Yu Sangwan's heart sank bit by bit.

Taking a deep breath, she smiled, "I'm so hungry! I'm going to eat a lot tonight..."

"Okay." Lu Jinxuan indulged her, "I'll buy you as much as you want."
