Chapter 342: Still Must Have Hugs and Kisses

’But then again, the one "keeping" me is Lu Cheng. This feeling... it’s not so bad, is it?’

’Since Lu Cheng already got this money from Chu Yunze, it would probably be awkward to give it back.’

Besides, Lu Cheng’s money was her money. So, Shen Nian accepted the passbook without much hesitation.

However, Shen Nian definitely wouldn’t spend this money recklessly or waste it. As for what she would do with it, she hadn’t decided yet.

When she figured it out, it would surely be put to good use.

"Alright, since you’re giving it to me, I’ll accept it."

When Lu Cheng saw Shen Nian’s surprised expression as she opened the passbook, he worried she might refuse it. He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her accept it.

"Good."

"Oh, right. Since you think these pastries taste pretty good, why don’t we bring some with us when we go to the Chu Family’s home tomorrow!"

After she spoke, she was afraid Lu Cheng would disagree. After all, the last time, he had insisted on not letting her give away anything she made, stubbornly eating it all himself.

"I made a lot. We only have to bring a portion over. The rest is all yours!"

After saying this, she looked at Lu Cheng. ’This way, he shouldn’t refuse, right? Probably... right?’

Lu Cheng looked at Shen Nian, seeming to hesitate for a long time before finally nodding.

"Alright. But just a little bit."

"..."

’Sure enough, Lu Cheng was still the same food-hoarding Lu Cheng. Thank goodness I put Spiritual Spring Water from the space in all my cooking. No matter how much he eats, he won’t get fat. Otherwise, with how possessive Lu Cheng is about food, I’d really be worried!’

After getting Lu Cheng’s approval, Shen Nian pulled him along to help her wrap the pastries they would bring to the Chu Family’s home tomorrow.

Shen Nian had bought the wrapping paper a while ago just because it looked pretty. She never thought it would come in handy so soon.

After they finished with that, Shen Nian and Lu Cheng washed up and went back to their room together.

Gazing at the bed, Lu Cheng was inevitably reminded of last night, and his face flushed.

But he also remembered what Shen Nian had said last night: if he left, he shouldn’t come back. ’No way! Even if it’s torture, I’m going to stay with Shen Nian!’

When Shen Nian saw the faint blush on Lu Cheng’s face, she knew he must be thinking about what happened last night.

Shen Nian had originally thought that since Lu Cheng didn’t plan on doing anything to her for now, he would probably avoid touching her tonight to spare himself the discomfort.

But who would have known that even if it made him suffer, Lu Cheng would still insist on holding her, kissing and hugging her to his heart’s content, only to end the night with another cold shower.

After his cold shower, Lu Cheng, having learned nothing, still held her tightly as he slept, as if he couldn’t get a good night’s rest without Shen Nian in his arms.

And Shen Nian, it seemed, had long since grown accustomed to falling asleep and waking up in Lu Cheng’s embrace.

With Lu Cheng by her side, even her dreams at night seemed exceptionally sweet.

「The next morning」

Shen Nian and Lu Cheng got ready and left the house with the things they had prepared.

As the two of them left, many people in the family housing compound were already out and about. Seeing Shen Nian and Lu Cheng leaving together, their gazes couldn’t help but linger on them for a while.

There was no other reason than the fact that the young couple was simply too pleasing to the eye. On top of that, Shen Nian and Lu Cheng had even specially worn a set of matching outfits that Shen Nian had made.

Of course, they weren’t the flashy sort. Rather, it was the small details that let anyone see at a glance that the two outfits were a set, and the people wearing them were definitely a couple.

Shen Nian didn’t ask Lu Cheng how they were getting there. She trusted that he would definitely have a plan.

However, even though she knew Lu Cheng must have made arrangements, Shen Nian never expected someone to come pick them up right at the compound gate.
