Chapter 464: This Luck, This Fortune, Is Truly Amazing (Part 1)

Lu Cheng watched Shen Nian walk toward him. He had just been coming over when he vaguely saw her talking with Meng Sijia. He was about to go over, but then she turned and left. "Did she give you any trouble?" he asked.

"Hmm, who was bullying whom is debatable! Don’t worry. A trick that dumb could never get to me."

And it was true. Shen Nian had even braced herself for some brilliant tactic from Meng Sijia. Who would have thought it would turn out to be... just that.

’Doesn’t Meng Sijia think a little too highly of herself? Does she take everyone for an idiot!’

’And to think, from the way the other families in the compound talked about Meng Sijia, I thought I was facing a formidable rival. What a letdown. A total letdown.’

"So, she tried to bully you, but... she didn’t succeed?"

’The result wasn’t what mattered. What mattered was the attempt—that she had the thought and made the move.’

"Hmm, that’s actually a pretty fitting explanation."

Shen Nian looked at Lu Cheng and nodded. ’That’s it, isn’t it? Meng Sijia tried to bully me, but she just didn’t succeed!’

"I understand."

Huh? Shen Nian looked at Lu Cheng. ’What does he understand? Don’t tell me... now that he knows Meng Sijia tried to bully me, he’s going to get even for me?’

’But I already got even all by myself today! Meng Sijia is probably fuming right now! For her, a blow like that must have really cut to the bone.’

’Still, if Lu Cheng wants to get even for me, of course I’m not going to object. In fact, I’m really curious to see what he’s planning to do!’

"Hey, you still haven’t answered my question. How did you get here so fast?"

’Lu Cheng came over with his employees. They must have had follow-up arrangements, right?’

"I took time off."

"Hmm? What for?"

"To celebrate you."

Shen Nian stared at Lu Cheng, her eyes wide. ’He took time off to celebrate me? Does he mean celebrating my successful performance today?’

’Who said my Lu Cheng doesn’t understand a woman’s heart and doesn’t know how to flirt! He’s obviously a natural!’

However, Shen Nian knew this side of Lu Cheng only ever revealed itself to her. To other women, he was still the same cold, unapproachable Yama Lu.

"So, how are you planning to celebrate me, then?"

"Well, what do you want to do?"

Lu Cheng had never celebrated with anyone before, so for a moment, he had no idea what a celebration should entail. Thus, his only option was to ask Shen Nian.

Hearing Lu Cheng’s reply, Shen Nian quickly caught on. ’He’s made great progress, that’s for sure, but expecting him to be an expert at this stuff is asking a bit too much of him.’

"Actually, you taking time off just to be with me is a wonderful celebration in itself. I don’t need any special reward."

"No. There has to be one."

Lu Cheng hadn’t thought that far ahead, but when he heard Shen Nian say the word "reward," he latched onto it instantly. ’Yes, I should give her a reward. I absolutely must!’

Seeing Lu Cheng’s reaction, Shen Nian was once again amused.

"Alright then... let me think... Oh, I’ve got it! I start school in a few days. For my reward, you can come with me to register at the university!"

Shen Nian hadn’t been able to attend university in her past life, and she definitely wasn’t going to miss out this time. A day as meaningful as the first day of university was one she absolutely had to spend with Lu Cheng.
