Chapter 5: My man really knows how to pamper people~

Su Liyan feels dizzy and light‑headed, as if in a dream.

This happiness came too suddenly.

Su Liyan never imagined even in her dreams that a windfall would fall from the sky—no, it's like a golden ingot dropping from heaven, and yet she actually ran into it.

After coming to her senses, she heard Lu Yuan's words.

Su Liyan shyly lowered her head; her gorgeous face was already flushed red as if drunk.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan felt an itch in his heart and directly said:

"Then you can stay here tonight; I'll get a room ready for you."

Su Liyan startled, immediately knowing what Lu Yuan wanted to do; the extremely shy Su Liyan, at this moment even her swan neck blushed, she said with a bashful face:

"Yuan Ge, not today… we aren't married yet… this matter still needs to be told to my parents"

"Besides… if the matchmaker can't find me, she'll surely go to my house to look for me; if I suddenly disappear, my family will be worried."

"When you come to my house to propose… I… I will marry you."

"Hmm…"

Lu Yuan froze for a moment; that's also true, this matter was my rashness.

Mainly because Su Liyan is too alluring.

Seeing her like this, Lu Yuan wished he could execute her on the spot.

Now thinking about it, that's also right; no matter how anxious, you still have to let the other party's parents know, since this is taking a wife.

What Su Liyan said is also right; if the matchmaker sees Su Liyan missing, she will surely go back to look for her.

Taking a wife naturally also requires going to the door to propose; the steps cannot be skipped.

Good food fears no delay; this Su Liyan is already mine, she can't run away.

Immediately, Lu Yuan nodded and said:

"Then like this, today you go back first and tell our parents"

"Tomorrow when you come back, you'll come to this estate; I'll go buy a horse, then you'll take me to your house to propose, we'll return together; otherwise, I wouldn't know where your house is."

Lu Yuan, while speaking, handed the spare key to the estate over to Su Liyan.

To be honest, Lu Yuan wished he could follow Su Liyan home today and directly go to propose.

However, first Lu Yuan still has some matters; second, going to propose requires bringing some things, so he needs to prepare.

After all, this is also my first marriage; face cannot be lacking.

Su Liyan looked at the key in her hand, as if in a dream.

"From now on… is this my family's courtyard?"

Before Su Liyan could say more, Lu Yuan pulled her hand and said:

"Come on, I'll first take you to stroll the market; we'll have a meal here at noon before heading back."

Lu Yuan still has money in his hand.

No need to mention those thirty thousand silver dollars.

As Lu Yuan previously worked as a craftsman at the Forging Bureau, earning thirty‑six silver dollars a month, even one person couldn't spend it all, turning it over and over.

Moreover, Lu Yuan's previous incarnation was thrifty; over the years he has also saved some money.

He's got money~

Immediately, Lu Yuan pulled Su Liyan's hand and walked toward the outer gate of the manor.

Su Liyan, being held by a member of the opposite sex for the first time, was extremely shy but did not struggle free.

In Su Liyan's heart, she already regarded Lu Yuan as her man.

Lu Yuan pulled Su Liyan's soft, boneless little hand, feeling a surge of emotion in his heart.

How soft Su Liyan's little hand is!

Like it has no bones, soft and tender, and moreover born especially beautiful.

Speaking of which, which woman around here doesn't do rough work?

Yet Su Liyan's hands are extraordinarily delicate and slender; I don't know if it's because of the cold or she was born this way, but her fingertips are still that pink color, truly extremely beautiful.

Pulling Su Liyan out of the gate, Lu Yuan then saw her looking back wistfully at the manor behind her.

Seeing Su Liyan like this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but chuckle and say:

"Come on, from now on you'll see it every day."

……

In the morning, Lu Yuan took Su Liyan to buy a raccoon‑fur fitted overcoat.

Just like buying sable in the northeastern part of Earth when winter arrives.

Winter is coming up soon.

Also a pair of high‑top small leather shoes made of brown full‑grain leather, lined with plush inside.

Speaking of which, it's truly "a person relies on clothes, a horse on its saddle," and even Su Liyan is no exception.

Su Liyan was already absolutely beautiful before; now she's even more beautiful without limit.

A black fitted overcoat, its collar brownish‑gray raccoon fur; once Su Liyan puts it on, the perfect mature lady's aura immediately comes out.

On her feet are a pair of exquisite brown leather shoes.

This aura instantly turns her into a city miss.

Good things are naturally expensive.

These two items together cost exactly thirty silver dollars—the shoes thirteen, the coat seventeen.

When paying, the money genuinely frightened Su Liyan.

Thirty dollars!!

This is enough to cover her family's food expenses for a year!

Originally Lu Yuan had planned to take Su Liyan to get her hair permed or something, but now big waves are the trend in this city, which would definitely suit Su Liyan.

However, seeing that it's almost noon, Su Liyan still has to leave after eating a meal; let's discuss it next time we come.

On the way to the restaurant.

Su Liyan, carrying a bundle of old clothes, walked beside the empty-handed Lu Yuan, speaking full of heartache:

"Brother, there's really no need to buy these clothes for me…… they're too expensive."

Lu Yuan glanced at Su Liyan, raised his eyebrows, and said:

"You've married into my family, so just wait for a good life—could I possibly wrong you?"

Su Liyan still spoke with a hint of heartache:

"But it's really too expensive; why don't we return the shoes……"

Su Liyan now considers herself a daughter-in-law of the Lu family, so naturally she thinks of Lu Yuan's interests.

Even if the family has money, we can't spend like this.

These little leather shoes are indeed very nice-looking, but that's all they are……

They're not like winter clothes that keep you warm……

Showy but impractical things, a waste of money……

However, after Su Liyan finished speaking, Lu Yuan raised his head and said:

"Huh?"

"You won't listen to Brother's words?"

"Who will be the head of this household from now on?"

We need to tell apart the big boss from the little boss!

From now on, only one person in the family will be the head manager!

And that head manager must be me!

As the head of the household, I must have the final say!

Su Liyan was startled, then spoke shyly:

"Of course it's Brother who decides; from now on I'll listen to Brother~"

Although Lu Yuan scolded her, Su Liyan felt sweet inside; her man really knows how to pamper people~

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan finally nodded in satisfaction and said:

"That's right—listen to Brother from now on, live a good life with Brother; I have no parents, so what's wrong with buying my wife a piece of clothing?"

"Come on, let's have baked meat on the griddle for lunch today~"

Walking beside Lu Yuan, Su Liyan wore a happy expression, already thinking about the good days ahead.
