Xia Zhen saw the old man off and left Lu Qingtian in the care of Uncle Zhang!
Today was a weekend, and Lu Qingtian didn’t have to go to school, but considering that he’s almost a high school senior and final exams were approaching, some tutoring wouldn’t hurt, given his average performance.
Lu Qingtian reluctantly followed Uncle Zhang, continually turning back towards the three in the living room. Before leaving, he told Nanxi, "Sister-in-law, don’t leave before I return from tutoring. I still have a lot to whisper to you!"
After Lu Qingtian left, Xia Zhen wanted to have a chat with Nanxi. Aunt Yu brewed some tea, and the three sat down. Xia Zhen held Nanxi’s hand and said a lot, but she was careful not to say too much in front of her son.
Xia Zhen said, "Nanxi, you’re young, but I find you very mature. I really like you. Yinchu may be older than you, but he is definitely a decent man, hard to find even with a lantern. If he ever does anything wrong, as long as you’re in the right, I will definitely take your side!"
Nanxi smiled awkwardly.
Xia Zhen then turned to her son, "Yinchu, you should treat Nanxi well. She is young and might not understand everything. Be more considerate, guide her, and most importantly, indulge and protect her... Work is important, but so is your girlfriend!"
Lu Yinchu put down his teacup, smiled slightly and said, "Mom, don’t worry. I promise I will treat her better than how Dad treats you, even many times better. As the old saying goes, ’the student outdoes the master.’ You should trust me."
Nanxi frowned, slanted her head slightly, and glanced at Lu Yinchu. Upon meeting Lu Yinchu’s affectionate, almost enchanting gaze, she quickly looked away...
My God, Lu Yinchu’s performance was too convincing! Such acting talent was wasted, not being used in movies!
Suddenly, she felt a tiny bit envious of the woman in his heart!
Even if it was just for a fleeting moment!
Xia Zhen went on talking about other things, and Nanxi patiently listened. When it was about the time, Xia Zhen excused her, suggesting they take a nap!
But... nap? How to nap?
Nanxi was a little embarrassed. She glanced at Lu Yinchu, who was inscrutable. He put down his cup, walked over, held Nanxi’s hand, and said to Xia Zhen, "Mom, I’ll take Nanxi to the room now!"
Xia Zhen looked at their intertwined hands and nodded, "Go ahead, sleep a bit longer, don’t be so formal!"
"..." Sleep... longer?
Nanxi felt her head was spinning!
As Lu Yinchu led Nanxi upstairs, Xia Zhen looked on with great joy — her 32-year-old son finally had someone in his life. The girl was polite, clean, pretty, gentle, and kind, really good. She really liked her!
She just hoped that this girl would spend a peaceful life with her son!
Thinking about this, her heart ached a little and tears welled up in her eyes!

Lu Yinchu glanced at her, furrowed his brows, and asked, "What’s the matter?"
Nanxi pursed her lips, "Mr. Lu, there are some things I want to talk to you about..."
Lu Yinchu’s lips twitched slightly. After taking a deep breath, he finally said, "Come in and talk!"
Helplessly, Nanxi had to step in!
Lu Yinchu’s room was big, with a very large bed. Seeing the bed, Nanxi had a sense of fear. She imagined a scene where "Lu Yinchu turned into a pervert and jumped at her"...
She choked a little, glanced at Lu Yinchu, and noticed him pulling open a part of the curtain by the window. The room suddenly became much brighter!
Lu Yinchu lit a cigarette, sat on the bed, and Nanxi didn’t know where to sit. He patted the spot next to him and said, "Here!"
Lu Yinchu noticed her hesitation and gave a faint smile, "Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you... Nanxi, you should trust me!"
Nanxi was conflicted, trust him? Admittedly, she did trust him to an extent, but they were alone in this room, on such a king-sized bed...
Surely, that would make anyone uncomfortable!
Eventually, Nanxi didn’t sit on the bed, but chose a stool near the bed instead...
