When Lu An found her, Jin Nian glanced over and noticed a dozen boxes of various sizes in the shopping cart.
Her face filled with astonishment as she looked at Lu An, and her cheeks turned as red as if she had a fever. “So many? Are you planning to sell these?”
Lu An replied seriously, “I haven’t used them before. I took one box of each model. We’ll try them out later.”
During checkout, Jin Nian left Lu An behind and went to wait outside the store. She couldn’t fathom the cashier’s reaction upon seeing the abundance of boxes.
The mere thought of it made her feel embarrassed, and she couldn’t afford such embarrassment.
After settling the bill, Lu An effortlessly carried three full bags of items with one hand.
As they entered the residential area, Jin Nian saw that Lu An had too much to hold, so she offered to help. Lu An gave her the bag full of boxes and said that it was lighter.
She would rather die than let Jin Nian carry that thing home. She shook her head repeatedly.
At the checkout, store staff helped pack items into bags. Lu An, showing a hint of perfectionism, grouped food and separated them from daily necessities. The boxes were placed in a separate bag.
Jin Nian caught a glimpse of this scene, making her unable to stand by the cashier. She quickly slipped out and pretended not to know Lu An.
Glancing at Lu An again, he continued to act composed and unconcerned. He appeared as calm as if he were buying a few heads of cabbage.
Lu An was the kind of person whose face easily gave off a sour expression. After unloading the shopping cart, he crossed his arms and observed as the cashier scanned each item and applied the barcodes. In his world, receiving service was entirely ordinary.
His expression remained neutral, and his habit of pursing his lips made it seem as if he was there to pick a fight.
Lu An was just teasing her and didn’t want her to carry anything. Asking a young lady to carry this small amount of items would surely become a laughingstock.
As the elevator ascended slowly from the parking lot’s basement, it reached the first floor where an elderly couple with white hair entered. Seeing Jin Nian, the cheerful old lady greeted, “Long time no see, Niannian. Have you been too busy with work?”
“Actually, no, Grandma Kang,” Jin Nian responded obediently. “1 haven’t been coming back often lately.”
The old lady noticed the tall man beside Jin Nian and smiled. “Oh, is this your fiance? This young man is quite handsome. Are you two getting married soon? My grandson ate all the wedding candies you gave us last time. That little rascal even said they were really sweet.”
The elderly couple lived on the 12th floor while Jin Nian lived on the 13th floor. They would often meet in the elevator, and over time, they became familiar with each other. When they were engaged, Jin Nian even specially gave them a set of wedding candy.
Jin Nian stood beside Lu An with a smile. She had just reached his shoulder, and the pair looked perfectly matched. Overwhelmed by the moment, she blurted out to the old lady, “Grandma, we’ve already registered our marriage.” “Oh, that means good things are coming, right?”
Jin Nian nodded, “Yes.”
“That’s wonderful! I wish you two an early and healthy child.”
“Thank you, Grandma Kang.”
Upon reaching the 12th floor, Jin Nian waved goodbye to the elderly couple before the elevator doors closed. Glancing back at Lu An, she found him sporting a half-smile that hinted at mischief.
Jin Nian narrowed her eyes, “What are you laughing at?”
Lu An smiled and replied, “I’m just happy to see you adjusting so well to your role as my wife. Can’t 1 be happy?”
“Who said I’m adjusting well?” Jin Nian’s face turned red, adamantly denying it.
The elevator reached the 13th floor. Jin Nian didn’t care about the continued laughter from the person behind her and hurriedly ran back home.
When Grandma Kang wished them well and hoped for children, she had simply agreed without sensing any impropriety. Now that she had calmed down and thought about it, a strange sense of embarrassment washed over her.
Jin Nian walked into the bedroom and let out a scream, “Ah!”
Lu An seemed to have expected this and calmly set down the bag he was carrying.
“Where’s my bed?” Jin Nian rushed up to him, demanding,” Did you replace it?”
“Yes.” Lu An calmly walked into the bedroom to take a look. It was a spacious 1.8-meter bed with a brand-new mattress. Lu An had arranged for it to be changed before he left.
Jin Nian was left wondering, “It wasn’t broken, so why did you replace it?”
“It might not be broken, but it was getting close. Your little rickety bed was on the verge of collapsing with a little movement.”
Upon hearing this, Jin Nian was speechless.
But well, since it was already replaced, who wouldn’t want to sleep a bit more comfortably?
Her previous bed was 1.5 meters, and it was fine for her to sleep alone. But ever since Lu An came, she couldn’t help but feel a bit cramped.
Lu An leaned against the door frame, arching an eyebrow at Jin Nian.. “Why don’t you give the mattress a try?”
