Chapter 77: Heartflutter 3

The two of them walked around for a while, and as the sky darkened, Qin Ruyan yawned.

Lu Jingchen stopped in his tracks, his hand gently squeezing her fingers, “Tired?”

“A little,” Qin Ruyan nodded. She had been keeping irregular hours lately, sleeping less than usual each night. Plus, Cheng Yubai had drawn several tubes of blood from her today, making her feel a bit drained.

Lu Jingchen led her around a corner, taking a shortcut through a small path towards the living room.

“Should we go rest now? Since you came here unexpectedly, I don’t know if Auntie prepared pajamas for you. If not, you can wear mine for now.”

She looked like she was extremely tired, with faint dark circles under her eyes and a hint of redness in her pupils.

She hummed in response, not saying anything more. They walked into the living room together, greeted everyone, and then went upstairs.

In the bedroom, Auntie had prepared pajamas for her, placed on the bed. She walked over, picked up the clothes, and headed for the bathroom. Lu Jingchen sat on the bedroom sofa, waiting for her to come out.

Ten minutes later, Qin Ruyan emerged. She hadn’t washed her hair today, so it was a bit messy.

Lu Jingchen took his pajamas and walked towards the bathroom, saying to her, “Don’t wait for me,” before entering the bathroom. Qin Ruyan pursed her lips. She hadn’t planned on waiting for him anyway.

She took out her phone, sent a message, then turned it to silent mode and placed it on the bedside table. She lifted the covers and lay down on the bed, scooting inward to make space for him.

When Lu Jingchen came out, she was already asleep.

He walked over and took a look. When Qin Ruyan first fell asleep, her sleeping posture was actually very good, lying straight with her hands and feet tucked under the covers. But whenever she was with him, she would subconsciously snuggle into his arms.

He lifted the covers and got into bed. As soon as he got close to her, the person beside him moved a little closer to him.

Recently, because she had been busy drawing design drafts, Lu Jingchen had actually abstained for several days. But right now, thinking about the redness in her eyes, the dark circles under her eyes, he sighed in resignation.

After suppressing the sudden surge of desire, he reached out and pulled her closer into his arms. Qin Ruyan, in her sleep, unconsciously reached out and grabbed his pajamas, her slightly furrowed brows now smoothing out.

Lu Jingchen suddenly remembered that when they first got married, he went on his first business trip, and she went back to Qin Chaoyang’s house for two days. At that time, she had half-jokingly said that she couldn’t sleep without him.

He lowered his head, looking at the person in his arms for a long time before speaking in a low voice, “Do you think you’re starting to like me now?”

Of course, Qin Ruyan, who was already asleep, naturally didn’t answer his question.

Lu Jingchen reached out and turned off the lights, holding the person in his arms, and soon fell asleep himself.

The next day.

Last night, Qin Ruyan had put her phone on silent mode and had turned off her alarm clock. Lu Jingchen disliked her alarm clock’s early time, so he wouldn’t let her set it.

Lu Jingchen woke up first. He had also turned off his alarm clock last night. He was going to Qin Chaoyang’s place today, and he wasn’t in a hurry to go to the company.

He looked down and saw Qin Ruyan still sleeping. He hesitated for a moment before getting out of bed quietly, went into the bathroom to change clothes, and gently closed the bedroom door when he came out before going downstairs.

Living room.

Last night, Lu Huaijin and Zhang Wanyu hadn’t gone back either, they had stayed here. It was rare for the whole family to be at the old house, and Grandpa was happy all night.

“Brother, is Sister-in-law still asleep?” Zhang Qiyao was the first to notice her brother coming down. She glanced at the time, “Wow, it’s almost nine o’clock. Did you guys go at it hard last night?”

Lu Jingchen walked into the living room, picked up a cup and poured himself a glass of water. “Grandpa, Dad, Mom,” he greeted them in turn before sitting down on the sofa and taking a sip of water.

“She didn’t sleep well for a while, and she fell asleep after going upstairs last night. Let her sleep a little longer. We’re going to her uncle’s place today, so we don’t need to plan our lunch.”

He didn’t miss his sister’s gossipy gaze.

The old man nodded, then remembered that their family hadn’t visited the Qin family since they got married.

The old man, who had finally developed a fondness for Lu Jingchen because he had married a granddaughter-in-law, now started to dislike him again.

“You have the nerve to say that? You’ve been married for so long, and you haven’t arranged for us to meet your in-laws.” The old man slammed his cup down on the table.

Lu Jingchen rubbed his forehead. “Grandpa, Uncle has been very busy lately, and Ruyan doesn’t want to have a wedding for now. She doesn’t want our relationship to be revealed until her studio is up and running. She wants to build her clothing studio with her own abilities. What am I supposed to do?”

The old man was stunned, digesting his words. He spoke with a little less confidence.

“Since it’s Ruyan’s arrangement, then listen to her. But the proper etiquette can’t be ignored. You’re going to the Qin family today, right? Remember to bring a lot of gifts.”

Lu Jingchen snorted. “It seems like you only listen to your granddaughter-in-law now.”

The old man raised his chin, stubbornly defending himself. “Even if Ruyan didn’t come to see me, she sends me good morning messages every day. What about you? How many times have you come back to the old house in a month?”

Lu Jingchen nodded. “I’ll come back to see you more often in the future.”

The old man was finally satisfied.

Upstairs.

Lu Jingchen had only been gone for two minutes when Qin Ruyan woke up. She found the bed empty when she woke up, so she picked up her phone from the bedside table and took a look. The next second, she threw off the covers and headed to the bathroom.

It was almost nine o’clock. Why didn’t Lu Jingchen wake her up? This was her first time sleeping here, and there were elders in the house.

Qin Ruyan was extremely annoyed, but when she walked into the bathroom to brush her teeth, she noticed that the corner of her eye looked much better, and the red blood vessels in her eyes were almost gone.

As if realizing that Lu Jingchen had intended to let her rest well, after all, he had been so gentle with her for so many days, and he hadn’t even bothered her last night.

She vaguely remembered a male voice whispering in her ear last night, but she was too sleepy to make out what he was saying.

Qin Ruyan brushed her teeth, washed her face, changed clothes, and rushed downstairs.

At the top of the stairs, she saw the few people sitting on the sofa in the living room downstairs. She walked down slowly, awkwardly greeting them.

Lu Jingchen saw her coming down and slightly frowned. He walked over, took her hand, and sat down on the sofa.

“Don’t you want to sleep a little longer?”

Qin Ruyan shook her head. “I’ve slept for a long time. I feel like I’ve made up for all the nights I stayed up drawing designs. I’m not tired anymore.”

Lu Jingchen nodded.

In the kitchen, the maid had prepared breakfast for the two of them. Seeing that they were both up, she brought the breakfast out.

Lu Jingchen stood up from the sofa, took her hand, and walked towards the dining table. “Let’s eat first. We’re going to your uncle’s place later.”

Qin Ruyan hummed in response and walked behind Lu Jingchen towards the dining table, under the scrutinizing gaze of the old man.

Behind them, the old man hadn’t quite recovered. Was this really his arrogant and aloof grandson? Why was he so affectionate towards his wife and so cold to him, his grandfather?
