The Little Childhood Friend in a Female-Dominated World (ChatGPT Translated)

20. Sister Lu

(No additional text provided)

Xu Mu's eyes were a little warm. In his previous life, Grandpa Ji from the Ji family also liked him like this. He gave him a bracelet as soon as they met, saying that he looked like a good child and told Lu Feng not to bully him.

Li Shi saw his son clutching the bracelet tightly and slightly frowned. He softly said, "He is still young and cannot afford such a valuable thing."

"It's alright, I like this child." Ji Shi might be because he only had one daughter, and his daughter was not well-behaved and always caused trouble for him, making him worried. Now, looking at Xu Mu, who was so quiet and well-behaved, he couldn't help but like him more and more.

Xu Mu sniffed and suppressed the sourness in his heart. He curved his eyes and sweetly thanked the person for the gift.

Ji Shi felt even more that it was fate when he heard that Xu Mu's nickname was Mi Jian. When he was pregnant with Lu Feng, he loved eating Mi Jian, which resulted in a daughter who was addicted to sweets.

Ji Shi pulled Xu Mu and said to Li Shi, "My daughter is three years older than your son. In the future, when we become one family, Xu Mu should call her sister."

Sister?

Xu Mu blinked his eyes and blushed secretly. He remembered that after marrying Lu Feng, he had called her sister in bed. Lu Feng blushed from being bullied by him. She had no choice but to soften her voice and beg for mercy, calling him sister.

The two families talked happily, and this marriage was settled.

There was still nearly a month before the Chinese New Year. After discussing together, the two families planned to choose an auspicious day before the New Year to marry Li Shi.

Zhang Shi was a little reluctant to let go of her son, but when she thought about how close the two families were, she felt relieved.

Time was tight, so Ji Shi went back and started to make arrangements. Lu Rong was afraid that her husband would be tired, so she rarely took the initiative to worry about things. With the two of them busy like this, Lu Feng became relaxed again and casually threw away her schoolwork, reading a book.

Ji Ruan had been living with Ji Shi in the Lu residence. Now that she was getting married and moving out, she also considered buying a house. When she said this to Ji Shi, he felt uncomfortable for several days. "Our family is already small in number. If you move out, it will be even quieter. After you marry Li Shi, I finally have someone to talk to. After your sister-in-law goes on a military expedition after the New Year, I will still have someone to accompany me at home. . ."

Lu Rong also disagreed with Ji Ruan moving out. If she went on a military expedition, Ji Shi would have to handle all the important and trivial matters in the residence alone, which would be very hard. Now that Ji Ruan had the rare opportunity to work in the capital, with her taking care of things in the residence, Ji Shi would be much more relaxed.

Hearing what the two of them said, Ji Ruan finally relaxed a bit. After hesitating for a while, they ultimately didn't buy a house. They just gave all the money they had prepared for buying a house to Li Shi.

Li Shi's "Sweet Delights" business was doing well, so he found a reliable person to take care of the management. He only focused on developing new pastries and waited to collect the money.

Today, in the midst of being busy, he took the opportunity to come to "Sweet Delights" to take a look. Ji Ruan reached out and pulled him into the kitchen, stuffing a box into his hand.

"I should have given you a home, our own home," Ji Ruan held Li Shi's hand and said with lowered eyes, "But I was raised by my brother. He is reluctant to let me move out of the Lu residence. He also said that if you marry me, you can talk to him. . . He has had a hard life, and in the future, when I work in the capital, I don't want him to be as burdened. So after we get married, let's still live in the Lu residence."
