Chapter 560: Chapter 375: It's so painful for him to be hit [Add More] _2 On the balcony, Li Weihuan was standing there, watching the couple who got off the car hand in hand from a distance. His long lashes trembled, a thin mist covering his eyes, his fingers in his pocket clenched.

Xia Zhen was the first to see Lu Yinchu and Nanxi cback. She rushed over to greet them and grabbed Nanxi's hand. "Why are you so late? Hurry inside, the old man is waiting impatiently!" Nanxi just nodded, noticing her mother-in-law, she couldn't help but show signs of timidity.

Lu Yinchu's dark eyebrows flickered, and he said to Xia Zhen, "Mom, don't blNanxi. She's a little timid... It waswho took a detour on the way, causing the delay..." Xia Zhen looked at her son, protective of his wife, and chided, "Look at you, spoiling your wife and forgetting your mother, I didn't even say anything... Quickly go in, it's almost tfor dinner!" Despite what she said, there wasn't a hint of anger in Xia Zhen's expression. For a son to cherish his wife was a good thing. If a woman gave you her whole life, what right did you have not to treat her well? Lu Yinchu led Nanxi inside. In the living room, only the old patriarch and Lu Qingtian were chatting. The old man was listening to his granddaughter telling interesting stories about school life. The old man looked very interested, occasionally laughing. Lu Qingtian knew how to amuse the elderly very well.

As Lu Yinchu led Nanxi in, the talking grandfather and granddaughter looked over. As soon as Lu Qingtian saw Nanxi, her face lit up and she rushed toward her, "Ah, our class beauty, little sister-in-law, you're finally back! Lettell you..." Unfortunately, before Lu Qingtian could reach Nanxi, she was pulled away by Lu Yinchu... "What kind of behavior is this? Show srespect!" Nanxi: "..." Ignoring Lu Qingtian, Lu Yinchu led Nanxi directly to greet the old man, "Grandfather, Nanxi and I are back!" "Hmm." The old patriarch gave a heavy grunt, glanced at his grandson and Nanxi, and then lowered his head to sip his tea.

Nanxi felt uncomfortable under the old man's gaze. She pursed her lips and quickly lowered her head, saying, "Grandfather!" "Sit down." The old man instructed.

As they sat down, Lu Qingtian, not bearing any grudge, moved to sit by Nanxi, excitedly pulling on Nanxi's hand and whispering into her ear, “Little sister-in-law, you're even more beautiful than in the photos. My brother has taken good care of you!" Nanxi: " " She frowned slightly, what photos? What was Lu Qingtian talking about? The nearby Lu Yinchu, having excellent hearing, naturally heard Lu Qingtian's words. Considering the context, he understood that his nephew, Li Weihuan, must've explained something about the photos to her.

No matter whether the old patriarch believed them or not, the fact that he and Nanxi had already registered their marriage was undeniable. As for the root cause of this misunderstanding, it was something the old patriarch didn't want to pursue! "Grandfather, where are Weihuan and elder cousin-in-law? Why aren't they here?" At hearing Lu Yinchu mention Li Weihuan, Nanxi's heart skipped a beat. She then realized that Qi Qun was Li Weihuan's "elder cousin-in-law". She had no idea why Lu Qingtian pulled her into hiding upstairs and not letting her meet this elder cousin-in-law, it seemed like there was a hidden story here! Over there, the old patriarch took a sip of his tea, nodded, and began, “It seems your elder cousin needed something urgently, so he called his wife back. Weihuan had a bit too much to drink at noon and is resting upstairs..." After speaking, he instructed his granddaughter, "Qingtian, it's almost tto eat. Go bring Weihuan down." Lu Qingtian obediently sprang into action, "Alright, grandfather, I am going right away!" she said and started running up the stairs.

Lu Qingtian was particularly curious to see Li Weihuan's reaction when he realized that one of the girls in the pictures on his phone, the class beauty, had now bechis aunt. From just now to this moment, she had been buzzing with excitement and was looking forward to seeing the unfold! When she reached Li Weihuan's resting room, she immediately started knocking. Just as she was about to call out "elder nephew", the door creaked open, and due to inertia, she almost bumped into Li Weihuan.

"Elder nephew, you did that on purpose, didn't you? Why didn't you make a sound?" Li Weihuan couldn't be bothered to deal with her and asked, "Is your second brother back?" Lu Qingtian raised an eyebrow, "Yeah, my brother is back. And he brought my sister-in-law with him!" "Sister-in-law?" Li Weihuan pretended not to understand.

Lu Qingtian immediately explained with excitement, "Yes, my brother secretly got registered. He's already married. I have a sister-in-law now! But elder nephew, it's not that I wanted to hide it from you, my brother toldnot to say anything. You know how scared I am of him... Besides -" "Why do you talk so much?" Li Weihuan didn't want to deal with her.

But Lu Qingtian was still insistent on explaining. She leaned forward, grabbing Li Weihuan's arm, “Elder nephew, if... I mean if, the woman of your dreams suddenly becomes your aunt, you... you mustn't cry, okay?" Li Weihuan: "..."

Downstairs, Nanxi sat nervously beside Lu Yinchu, as he spoke to the old patriarch about various matters, O primarily, about Li Wenuan's job prospects. Lu Yinchu intended to train Li Weihuan in the Land Bureau.

The old patriarch thought it was a good idea for him to spend his youth at a grassroots level and get honed over time. Nanxi took a deep breath, from their scattered conversations, she could tell that Lu Yinchu already had plans for Li Weihuan's future. He cared deeply about Li Weihuan.

And Li Weihuan was just upstairs, about to cdown.

Very soon.

As the sound of footsteps cfrom the stairs, Nanxi's body trembled. She involuntarily looked over at the m staircase entrance. Lu Qingtian was walking in front, followed by Li Weihuan, whose steps paused as his dark eyes met Nanxi's in the living room. His eyelashes trembled slightly, but he said nothing and continued down the stairs.

With each step he took, his heart sank. Seemingly within reach, yet worlds apart, he could beca stranger to her, but at this moment, she was his aunt - a term he couldn't bear to digest.

He had overestimated himself. Despite the countless mental preps he did upstairs, to act natural and composed and pretend that nothing had happened, The first meeting with Nanxi, or several meetings with Nanxi, as long as the old patriarch didn't discover that they were not lovers, everything would be fine.

But when he actually faced Nanxi, he realized he couldn't do it. This girl had been buried deep within his heart for seven years. She was the girl he was utterly in love with, the one he wanted to hold onto for the rest of his life.

From the age of eighteen to now twenty-five, those long years, Nanxi was always in his heart, the warmth emerging from the thought of her making the last seven years feel as if in a dream.

But now, awake from his dreaming, reality pierced him with a pain that words failed to describe.
