stiffened slightly.For a moment, she turned and changed her expression to one of spring sunshine, asking, "Zhang Zong, is there something the matter"Zhang Chongguang's eyes were deep.For a while, he...It was close to noon when Mingzhu woke up.

She slowly opened her eyes, and it was Uncle Lu's house.

She gently blinked, hugged the rabbit beside her pillow, and rolled over a few times. She really liked Uncle Lu.

He made breakfast this morning.

Fruits, all washed very well.

He treated her like a child, pampering her to the heavens. With Lu Qian's status, any woman would find it sweet.

Mingzhu wanted to cook dinner for him, but she didn't know how. After a long time, she even burned the rice and had to throw it away.

In the end, she ordered takeout.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Qian came back from the meeting.

He glanced at the table, took off his coat and casually threw it on the sofa, joking her: "For your beloved Uncle Lu, I specially ordered a table of takeout!"

His little girl reached out her hand, and a finger got cut while she was chopping vegetables.

Eyes brimming with tears.

Lu Qian's heart softened instantly, and he scolded her, "Little fool!"

He bandaged her wounds and then they ate dinner together.

After the meal, he sat on the sofa quietly smoking, with a hint of self-satisfaction. Coupled with his refined and handsome appearance, sitting there, he looked like a painting.

He is thoughtful.

He declined a nomination at today's meeting.

Development of a new type of metal for aerospace applications, and on a larger scale, for various stealth aircraft. If successful, it could accelerate domestic technology by 30 years.

With ample funds and considerable influence, it attracts the attention of many.

After four years of research and development, he has a bright future ahead of him after its successful completion!

Lu Qian declined and recommended a junior.

He didn't regret it, even if his first half of life was lived for these things. But now was different, he had Mingzhu, and he wanted to give her a home...

The pearl nestled beside him.

Lu Qian extinguished his cigarette and glared at her, "Will you still cook next time"

She crouched down, burrowed into his arms, and whispered that she wanted to learn how to cook for Uncle Lu.

Lu Qian smiled faintly.

At this moment, Mingming felt a tinge of melancholy, but he preferred to listen to her talk about everyday matters.

Mingzhu had been with him for a while, and finally, she was ashamed of being unproductive. She pressed her small face against his solid abdomen, playing with the buttons on his shirt, and whispered, "A magazine asked me to shoot the cover a few days ago!"

She gave a thumbs-up and said, "Paid!"

Lu Qian leaned down and pinched her cheek, praising her: "Our Mingzhu is so capable! Not everyone has this opportunity, right"

She was naturally overjoyed and ecstatic.

But Lu Qian had her reasons. After all, she was going to be his wife and it wasn't suitable for her to flaunt herself in public! So, she first praised him subtly and then casually threw out a few questions.

The little girl backed out: "Maybe I won't go after all!"

She is not short of money, but she just keeps flattering Uncle Lu.

"Then you raise me, huh"

Lu Qian kissed her little head: "Well! Uncle Lu has been taking care of you all along."

……

Thus, they lived like a married couple in that luxurious apartment.

Lu Qian came almost every week.

He cooked for her, and she gave her Uncle Lu a back rub and foot massage. At night, she would even crawl into his arms wearing his shirt...

Occasionally, he would also receive some private calls.

Mr. Yi and others invited him out to play, but Lu Qian always declined. He left the social interactions to Ms. Liu to handle, rarely attending such events, let alone bringing her along.

When Mingzhu asked, he only said it wasn't suitable for a young girl.

But he was quite lenient with her, allowing her to socialize with friends without much interference.

He took her skiing and to see the aurora borealis when he had free time.

That half year was truly their sweetest and most beautiful time...

As the new year approached, Lu Qian became increasingly busy.

It had been several days since they last saw each other. Mingzhu was lying in bed talking to him on the phone, her voice soft and coquettish like a little girl…

Sounds came from downstairs, it seemed like Mrs. Huo was crying.

"What's wrong" Lu Qian couldn't help but ask.

Mingzhu lowered her voice and said, "I'll go downstairs to take a look."

He hung up the phone and rushed downstairs. On the stairs, he saw his brother Huo Shaoting standing in the center of the hall, his mother hugging his brother's shoulder and crying, while his father patted him gently on the shoulder to comfort him.

Mingzhu was taken aback.

At this moment, Madam Huo looked up and saw her, saying in a choked voice, "Mingzhu, come here quickly. Look at how Xi looks."

Mingshu's heart pounded, and she ran downstairs.

He showed her the photos on his phone.

Little Huo Xi is half a year old now, with brown hair that you can see is getting a bit white.

So cute, so cute.

Mrs. Huo was also moved to tears.

Even though Huo Zhendong was shedding tears, he still cared about his image and said stiffly: "It's better to be like your mother. If she were like your brother, it would be over! When she grows up, who would marry her!"

Mrs. Huo glanced at her husband reproachfully.

"Ho Zhen Dong's voice softened slightly, comforting her, "Look, the child is fine. You don't have to cry every day anymore. Cheer up, in the future there will be plenty of grandchildren for us to help take care of! I think with Shao Ting's ability, he'll definitely give us a whole regiment!"

Ho-zen Dong burst into laughter.

But there was a touch of melancholy in his smile. Huo Xi slowly got better, but the house always felt like something was missing. He wondered how Wen Man was doing now!

……

She sent the picture to Lu Qian. After a long time, she received a call from Lu Qian. In the dead of night, he didn't say anything, just softly murmured her name: "Mingzhu."

She nodded.

Both knew each other's hearts, and Xiaohuxi's rebirth gave them hope to be together.

Perhaps they no longer need to sneak around.

She fell asleep clutching her phone...

Early that morning, Lu Qian called her and said he would be at the apartment in an hour.

His voice was a bit hoarse, clearly from working all night and rushing over at dawn. Mingzhu felt both joy and heartache. She whispered, "I'll drive myself there. Don't come pick me up!"

Besides, the older brother is at home. He has a sharp eye.

Lu Qian hummed softly and asked her to drive slower, very gently.

They arrived at the apartment almost simultaneously, their cars bumping into each other in the parking lot. Ms. Liu smiled and greeted them, carrying up some fruits, vegetables, and daily necessities first.

Early one winter morning, Lu Qian unbuttoned his overcoat.

She gently threw herself into his arms, bumping him against the car. Lu Qian hugged her and kissed her softly... He wasn't young anymore, but at this moment he just wanted to do something irrational.

He kissed her for a long time, then mumbled, "Missed me"

That's what I was thinking!

Then Liu, the secretary, came down and smiled, saying, "Everything is packed up. I'll pick you up at 2 p.m. this afternoon."

Míngzhū felt a little embarrassed.

Lu Qian held her hand and led her upstairs.

He seemed rather impatient, flinging off her coat as soon as he entered the room. He caressed her body with one hand while kissing her passionately. They rarely did that outside of bed, but today he was unusually eager, grabbing her and pulling her onto the sofa...

Less than a few minutes later, it was done.

Mingzhu had never experienced such a fulfilling encounter. She held onto his neck, her eyes sparkling with adoration and infatuation.

Lu Qian's body was drenched in sweat, and he began to kiss her...

He is both physically and technically strong, easily defeating her every time, leaving her in tears.

He finally finished to his heart's content, calmed down a little and held her to take a shower. Then they lay together and rested.

Mingzhu lay in his arms.

She was a little uneasy. He hadn't taken any precautions earlier, but she thought that these days were her safe period, so it shouldn't be a problem...

She leaned against Lu Qian's shoulder, whispering that he asked for too much.

Lu Qian turned his body, and kissed her again. After kissing for a long time, he softly asked, "Are you unhappy"

She blinked softly, half understanding his meaning.

Xiao Huo xi's body is recovering, and they can also be open and aboveboard...

But when it comes to marriage, it's better for the man to bring it up, even if she's eagerly anticipating it, she wouldn't be comfortable being the one to initiate the conversation... He knows her little thoughts!

He was in a good mood, feeling lively, and couldn't help but do it again.

The pearl had fallen fast asleep.

Lu Qian was overjoyed. He got up and cooked her a meal, even cut up a fruit platter... As he left, he touched the velvet box in his pocket.before driving away. By then, it was raining and the road was slippery... It wasn't until much later that she drove back to the Huo residence.Ho Xi didn't take an umbrella, he got straight out of the...
