Meng Qianqian was a bit dazed, simultaneously suspecting that if she remained still, Lu Yuan might say something along the lines of, "Don't push it, Meng Xiaojiu. Don't tell me you want me to carry you too?"
"I'm leaving now!"
Meng Qianqian quickly jumped to her feet.
Lu Yuan snorted coldly: "I knew you wanted me to hold your hand."
Meng Qianqian: "...!!"
Lu Yuan took Meng Qianqian by the hand and led her out of the courtyard.
Nanny Wan, Nanny Hu, and Lady Du emerged from various corners and gathered in the courtyard center, curiously watching the affectionate departing figures of the couple, clicking their tongues in admiration.
Lady Du said, "The son-in-law and the young lady are becoming more and more loving!"
Nanny Hu nodded repeatedly. "Indeed! The last time the son-in-law carried the young lady back to the courtyard, oh my, my old face turned red."
Nanny Wan said, "What do you know? That's called true love!"
