Chapter 339: Happy Times in the Villa (1)
Lu Jiangnian has been at the border most of the time in recent years and has never been to the western suburbs villa with Yuan Wanru.
"My wife has been there before, so what did you do there?"
Yuan Wanru recalled in her mind that the original owner's personality was not lively before. Even if she wanted to play, she didn't dare to, for fear of doing something out of the ordinary and causing gossip.
There was one interesting incident that was quite vivid in her memory.
"Once, I was feeding fish with some sisters. The fish in the lake were fat and big, and they were huddled together to fight for food. My handkerchief accidentally fell out and was taken away by a big fish."
At that time, several girls felt strange and kept staring at the big black fish to see what it would do.
The pearl earrings on Yuan Wanru's ears swayed gently, making a slight crisp sound.
Lu Jiangnian listened carefully and said with a smile: "This time, you must watch your handkerchief carefully."
He suddenly leaned forward, his lips almost touching the tip of her ear. "However, if any fish dares to steal your handkerchief, I will catch it, roast it, and eat it to make you feel better. Okay?"
Lu Jiangnian said as he squeezed towards her.
Yuan Wanru's ears immediately started burning. She coughed lightly and said, "It's hot. Sit a little closer."
Lu Jiangnian naturally wouldn't listen.
His arms tightly embraced her, and the warmth of his palms penetrated her skin through her thin summer clothes. "It's morning, not hot at all."
"I think the wind is a little cold."
Yuan Wanru rolled her eyes. He didn't feel ashamed at all for confusing right and wrong so seriously.
Just as he was about to speak, the wheels suddenly bumped over something.
Yuan Wanru fell backward uncontrollably, but was caught steadily by Lu Jiangnian who was prepared.
The world was spinning, and she found herself sitting astride his lap, her hands tightly clutching the front of his collar.
"It turns out that my wife also feels cold and wants to throw herself into my arms. We huddle together for warmth."
There was a mischievous glint in Lu Jiangnian's eyes, but his palm considerately protected the back of her head to prevent it from hitting the car wall.
"you!"
Yuan Wanru glared at him fiercely, but Lu Jiangnian suddenly tightened his grip: "I just saved my wife, it can't be in vain."
"A hero saves a beautiful woman and pledges his life to her."
After saying that, he quickly took the pearl pendant on her earlobe into his mouth and gently ground it between his teeth.
Under his teasing, Yuan Wanru trembled slightly and had no idea where the carriage was going.
It was not until the carriage stopped that she realized they had arrived at the villa.
Through the car curtain, she saw the endless lotus leaves rolling into green waves under the clear blue sky, dotted with pink and white lotus flowers, like stars falling from the sky.
Lu Jiangnian followed her gaze and suddenly hugged her tighter: "Does it look good?"
"Um."
Yuan Wan nodded subconsciously, then realized that she was still nestled in his arms, and struggled to slide off his lap.
Lu Jiangnian didn't insist this time. He held her shoulders and said, "Your husband will go down first."
Then, he helped Yuan Wanru to the ground.
-
The lotus pond in the western suburbs villa was even more beautiful than Yuan Wanru remembered.
Layers of emerald green lotus leaves cover the entire surface of the water, pink and white lotus flowers stand tall and graceful, and occasionally a dragonfly skims the water, stirring up circles of tiny ripples.
After lunch, Yuan Wanru wanted to go out and play, but unfortunately the sun was too strong.
"Why rush? Take a nap first. When it's not so hot in the afternoon, we can go play."
It was rare to see Yuan Wanru so playful, and Lu Jiangnian couldn't bear to spoil her fun.
However, it was noon now, and getting sunburned would be more trouble than good.
Yuan Wanru always listened to advice, so she went to sleep for a while.
Lu Jiangnian went to the study and was busy for a while.
-
"Madam, get on the boat." Lu Jiangnian stood on the shore and stretched out his hand to her.
The sun gradually set in the west, and Lu Jiangnian brought Yuan Wanru to the lake.
Yuan Wanru lifted the hem of her skirt and carefully stepped onto the boat.
The boat was shaking slightly, and she was unstable and almost fell down, but was caught by Lu Jiangnian.
To be honest, she is also a landlubber in modern times and is really afraid of water.
Lu Jiangnian's palms were warm and strong, supporting her waist steadily. He smiled softly and said, "My lady, stand firm. If you fall into the water, I will be very sad."
Yuan Wanru blushed and spat, "Who wants you to feel bad?"
But she still sat down beside him obediently.
The boat slowly sailed into the depths of the lotus pond.
The water rippled, and lotus leaves brushed against the side of the boat, making a rustling sound.
Yuan Wanru reached out and pushed aside the lotus leaves that were blocking her way. Her fingertips accidentally touched a half-opened lotus flower, the petals of which were incredibly soft.
“This one is beautiful.”
Lu Jiangnian suddenly leaned over, plucked the lotus flower neatly, and pinned it on her hair.
His fingertips brushed against her earlobe, causing a tingling sensation.
"People are more beautiful than flowers."
He chuckled softly, his eyes reflecting the water light, looking particularly gentle.
Yuan Wanru lowered her eyelashes, her heart beating like a drum.
She tried to cover up by reaching out her hand for a lotus pod not far away, but the boat swayed and she missed the pod and ended up splashing water all over her face.
Lu Jiangnian laughed heartily. Yuan Wanru, irritated, scooped up a handful of water and threw it at him: "Dare to laugh at me, I'll splash you with water too."
He didn't move, letting her splash water on him. When she was done, he said, "Go on, my lady, it's cool!"
Yuan Wanru smiled particularly brightly, and really splashed water several times in a row, soaking his clothes.
Suddenly, a fish emerged from the bottom of the boat. Yuan Wanru was startled when her hand touched the slippery fish body.
Her body tilted, and Lu Jiangnian quickly caught her. When he looked closely, he found that it was a fish.
"My wife is always so brave, but she is afraid of a fish. How interesting."
Yuan Wanru punched him: "I'm not scared, it's just that it happened so suddenly that I couldn't react."
Lu Jiangnian helped her sit down, then suddenly stood up and quickly took off his outer robe, revealing his muscular upper body. "What a nasty fish! How dare it scare my wife? Just wait, I will definitely catch it and add it to my wife's dish."
After saying that, he dived into the water, splashing a lot of water.
"Lu Jiangnian!"
How could this guy jump like that? Yuan Wanru exclaimed, but then she saw his head popping up not far away, his black hair sticking to his forehead wetly, with water droplets rolling down his collarbone, sparkling in the sunlight.
"Go on!" He suddenly raised his hand, and a big fat fish shining with silver light flew accurately towards the cabin.
When the fish fell into the boat, Yuan Wanru hurriedly held the fish in her hands, looked at it again and again, and it really looked like the one that had just slipped past, a fat carp.
The fish was very fierce, and its tail kept slapping against her arm, which felt cool.
She couldn't help laughing out loud: "How come you are so awesome?"
Lu Jiangnian swam back to the boat, leaned his arms on the side, and looked up at her. Drops of water dripped from his eyelashes, making his eyes look especially bright.
“Is this considered amazing?”
"My wife should be the one who knows best how powerful my husband is."
He suddenly reached out and pulled her closer, his voice low, "For example..."
His words died between their lips.
Yuan Wanru opened her eyes wide and felt a slightly cool touch on her lips, with the freshness of pool water and the warmth of the sun.
She subconsciously closed her eyes, and the carp in her hand took the opportunity to break free, jumping back into the water with a "splash".
Lu Jiangnian let go of her, looked at the empty deck, and sighed with pretended regret: "It seems that tonight's fish soup is ruined."
Yuan Wanru blushed and hit him: "It's all your fault!"
"Haha, don't be angry, it can't run away. I will definitely catch it and vent my anger on my wife."
As he was about to dive again, he was stopped by Yuan Wanru.
"Don't go," she whispered. "Even though your injury has healed, don't soak in the water. Come up."
Lu Jiangnian's eyes softened, and he climbed onto the boat, embracing her in his arms, dripping wet: "Madam, do you feel sorry for me?"
Yuan Wanru pushed him away: "Who cares about you? Let go! Your clothes are all wet!"
Lu Jiangnian hugged her tighter and whispered in her ear: "What are you afraid of? Summer clothes can be dried in the sun and wind."
The boat swayed gently, startling a few egrets, which flapped their wings and flew away into the distance.
Yuan Wanru leaned in his arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, and suddenly wished time would stop at this moment.
