It goes without saying that Lu Ziqian’s behaviour a while ago made Xiang Wanwan very happy. When the little girl’s happy, her apricot eyes start to shine, making people can’t help but smile when they see it.

Lu Ziqian stretched out his hand to clasp onto hers, and smiling at Xiang Wanwan’s surprised look, he said: “This way nobody will try to hit on me anymore.”

After hearing this, Xiang Wanwan thought ‘yeah, this makes sense’. After some thought, she walked to Lu Ziqian’s right side and took his left hand instead, “Hold this hand, otherwise I won’t be able to use my phone.”

Lu Ziqian nodded, letting her do whatever she wanted.

The most difficult thing for Lu Ziqian now is to pay attention to the safety of the little girl while still moving things around with the cart, in fear that she will be hit by it or hit by someone else.

Xiang Wanwan huffed and said: “I am very experienced with using my phone. I would never hit anything.”

Then she proceeds to turn her head and slam into a shelf.

“…”

Lu Ziqian stiffled a laugh and grasped her hand tightly, “It’s okay, you can use your phone. I’ll look out for you. “

Xiang Wanwan wrinkled her nose. It made her embarrassed, so she decided to simply put her phone away.

“Should we get some spaghetti and tomatoes? I’ll make spaghetti for you tonight.” Lu Ziqian asked in a low voice while reaching out to grab a bag of spaghetti.

“You can make the decision. I’m not picky.”

Since that’s what she said, Lu Ziqian didn’t press further and decided he didn’t need to ask for her opinions anymore regarding this matter.

Xiang Wanwan followed him closely with their fingers locked together, tightly pressing against each other. Those who didn’t know may think they have already been together for a long time, and probably never expected that they had only met for less than a day.

Out of pure impulse, she lifted their intertwined hands and snapped a picture with her phone, posting it to her Weibo*.

*A popular Chinese social media platform similar to instagram.

The picture showed two hands clasped together, one larger and the other smaller. One can tell at a glance that the other is a guy’s hand. Moreover, there is no doubt that that hand was also extraordinarily beautiful and able to satisfy countless imaginations. Distinct bone joints, slender fingers, and the forearm exposed underneath looked like it had just the right amount of muscle.

[Omg, such beautiful hands—licks]

[The other hand looks like a boy’s hand. Did you get a boyfriend? ]

[Dada definitely got a boyfriend, a boyfriend… It must be a boyfriend. His hands are so beautiful. This is too lovely for my heart]

[I can actually see the word “sexy” from his hand. Your boyfriend must be extremely handsome]

[Dada’s hands are also beautiful. It’s slender and long. These pair of hands are really too beautiful for earth]

A group of people quickly gathered under her Weibo account. As a well-known painter in the industry, Xiang Wanwan has tens of thousands of fans on Weibo under the name ‘Dada’, and her group of loyal fans gathered within minutes.

This group of fans knew very well that Xiang Wanwan used to be single. Now that she posted such a photo, they guessed within a few minutes that she must have gotten a boyfriend and were all very happy for her.

Especially when the boyfriend’s hands are so beautiful!

While Xiang Wanwan scanned through the comments, she couldn’t help the urge to slightly lift the corners of her mouth.

That’s right, now she is also someone with a boyfriend. Her boyfriend is absolutely perfect, handsome, has long legs and is also a great cook.

“Ah, money is really amazing. Fortunately, I have money and can cheat the system this way!” Xiang Wanwan couldn’t help but sigh.

Su Qing knows about Xiang Wanwan’s Weibo account. As soon as she swiped and saw such a post by Wanwan, her face mask almost peeled off from the shock.

“What is this? Since when did you have a boyfriend?” Su Qing aggressively slammed her phone and typed an entire paragraph to send to Wanwan.

When Xiang Wanwan saw the text, she started feeling a little guilty, but told herself that she had done nothing illegal. All she did was obtain a tall and handsome boyfriend. What is there to feel guilty about?

Thinking of it this way, she felt confident again and started to quickly type with one hand.

“Yeah, my boyfriend is super handsome and beautiful!”

“Did you buy a boyfriend?” Su Qing rebutted sharply.

“…How did you know?” She was feeling guilty again.

“…”

Su Qing felt like she couldn’t breathe. If the Xiang family brothers knew that their little sister had a lover, she would be erased from the surface of the earth. Their little circle wouldn’t be safe either.

Not knowing what the other was thinking, Xiang Wanwan replied with another paragraph: “The boyfriend I found is very good-looking. The kind that will turn heads on the streets. He also has an amazing body and good cooking skills.”

Seeing this, Su Qing thought blankly that if the man managed to swoon someone so picky with looks like Wanwan, he must really be good looking.

“…Do you know his identity?” Su Qing typed a line, deleted it, and retyped it, “Let’s go out together for dinner, and bring along that boyfriend of yours. He better not be a man you found in a garbage dump.”

“Tch, tsk, he’s not a man found in a garbage dump. Lu Ziqian is super amazing!” Xiang Wanwan thought unconvinced.

Looking at the address sent by Su Qing, she knew that Su Qing was just worried about her, so she raised her hand and poked Lu Ziqian, “Let’s go out for dinner tonight.”

Lu Ziqian looked at her and without asking why, agreed straight away.

Another list of things needed to be prepared for home: toothbrushes, towels, and slippers.

“This- this is comfortable to wear…” Xiang Wanwan gave him a pair of pink bunny slippers, “It has soft fur, is extremely comfortable to wear, and cute.”

Looking at the pair of lovely slippers, Lu Ziqian desperately wanted to say no, but Xiang Wanwan looked so excited that he could only nod helplessly: “This pair then.”

After buying all the essentials as well as ingredients to fill the refrigerator, the two carried all the things back home.

It was around noon when they got home. Lu Ziqian went to the kitchen to cook. Xiang Wanwan didn’t want to move, but she was embarrassed to be lazy and forced herself to run over to help him.

“Taste this, is there enough salt? Do you want to use sweet sauce or just sprinkle it with some salt and pepper?” Lu Ziqian took a piece of charred and crispy small meat and fed it to Xiang Wanwan’s mouth while asking.

The freshly fried short ribs were still hot. The meat was soft, carrying a little bit of burnt aroma—it was amazing. Xiang Wanwan couldn’t help but nod vigorously and commented vaguely: “Delicious.”

“Then that’s good.”

After the two had lunch, Xiang Wanwan felt the drowsiness kick in. Yawning lazily, she said, “I’m going to take a nap.”

When she walked to the bedroom and was about to close the door, she saw the man following behind her, so she asked with a dazed expression: “Why are you following me?”

Lu Ziqian walked around her and into the room, stretched out his hand to unbutton his shirt and said, “I am your lover, of course I will sleep with you.”

“…”

She didn’t think of that at all! What should she do?

“Aren’t you changing into your pajamas?” Lu Ziqian had already taken off his shirt, revealing his strong upper body. His beautiful body was extremely seductive and attractive.

Xiang Wanwan’s face turned redder, and she couldn’t help but move her feet back, stammering: “I-I remember that I still have something…”

He strode directly over, trapped her between his arms against the wall, looked down at her blushing red ears and asked, “Wanwan, do you want to kiss?”

Shocked, Xiang Wanwan raised her head abruptly, but Lu Ziqian quickly leaned down and kissed her on her lips. He kissed her until she was too dazed to think straight and princess carried her to the bed.

“That is a real kiss.” Lu Ziqian reached out while laughing and stroked her lips which had become more rosy from the kiss.

Xiang Wanwan pulled the blanket up her face and wrapped herself, pretending that she couldn’t hear anything, but her heart was beating as loud as a drum.

Calm down, calm down…Even if you’ve never tried pork before, you would have seen pigs run, so why are you so nervous?

*Chinese idiom which means: even if you’ve never experienced it first hand, you’ve watched it happen.

Xiang Wanwan told herself that she was calm.

That’s when someone embraced her from behind. Lu Ziqian kissed the top of her head and said softly: “Sleep tight, Wanwan.”

You too!

Xiang Wanwan yelled softly in her heart.

Don’t blame her for not speaking loudly. She’s shy!
