Chapter 523: 486 Lu Han Seeks Reward (2 more)

"What are we chatting about?" Elder Tan, having returned from setting off firecrackers, wrapped his arms around his wife as soon as he approached Lin Jiaojiao.

"What else but praising you for doting on your wife," laughed Lu Zhu. When Song Mingxiu came over, she also leaned into his embrace.

What’s there to show off?

It’s as if she doesn’t have a husband.

She does have one, okay?

"Let’s talk about that, it’s a good topic. Lu Zhu, go on," Elder Tan chuckled, only to be punched lightly by Lin Jiaojiao.

Elder Tan captured her little fist in the palm of his hand. Frankly, he didn’t want to climb the mountain to burn incense. It was late, cold, and snuggling under the covers with his wife sounded so much better.

"Where is everyone else? Shouldn’t we start heading down the mountain?" Elder Tan was getting antsy.

"How would I know? With so many people around, even a phone call wouldn’t be convenient. Let’s go wait by the cable car entrance."

"Yeah."

By the time Lu Han and the rest finished offering incense and reached the cable car entrance, it was already three in the morning.

The group took the cable car down the mountain, which took nearly an hour.

By 4:30 a.m., everyone’s alcohol had mostly worn off, and they could drive themselves home. Sun Qing rode in her own car with her family driver.

The Bai brothers shared one car back, and Bai Simen also went with them, wanting to know the situation with Grandpa.

Lu Han rode in the car with Tang Su, which belonged to Lu Zhu. Song Mingxiu was driving, Lu Zhu sat in the passenger seat, and Tang Su and Lu Han sat in the back.

Chen Duoduo didn’t have any family; Bai Wei’s family was her family.

Her studio was only closed for one day, and she had work on the second day of the New Year, so she couldn’t visit Patriarch Bai. She had stayed up late for the New Year’s Eve, needed to catch up on sleep, and had to fly out in the evening for a client’s outdoor photoshoot.

A VIP client, so she had to do the shooting herself.

Chen Duoduo was alone in one car, and Bai Dingyang offered to be her driver.

At first, Chen Duoduo wanted to refuse, but since everyone was worried about her driving alone and trusted Bai Dingyang to drive her, she had no choice but to agree.

After getting into the car, Chen Duoduo regretted her decision. If she had known, she would have thickened her face and hitched a ride with Sun Qing.

Unfortunately, in this world, there’s everything but regret medicine.

Lu Zhu had actually sensed something off about Bai Dingyang’s unusual behavior from the start, but wasn’t completely sure, since it was the first time he met Chen Duoduo.

Love at first sight? She believed in it, but such things happening to others seemed possible, whereas happening to Bai Dingyang was shocking.

Lu Zhu turned to ask Lu Han, "There’s something off about this Elder Bai."

Lu Han, with Tang Su in his arms, both rested with their eyes closed. Tang Su had already fallen asleep in Lu Han’s embrace.

"What’s off?" Lu Han raised an eyebrow.

"He’s been too attentive to Duoduo, haven’t you noticed?"

"I noticed. Elder Bai’s Hongluan Star must be active, isn’t that normal? He’s thirty-five years old."

"Hongluan Star active at thirty-five and you think that’s normal? I think you’re the one who’s not normal," Lu Zhu retorted, dissatisfied with Lu Han’s unflappable demeanor.

He’s several years younger than her; why so serious all the time?

"How am I not normal? I’ve followed the routine, got married, had kids. Isn’t that the process for everyone?" Lu Han joked, ready for a playful argument with Lu Zhu.

"Mingxiu, listen to him talk. It’s like he’s not an ordinary person. What, do you think you’re Superman or Spider-Man?"

Ultimately, the innocent Teacher Song was dragged into the sibling’s squabble.

Lu Han’s eyes flickered, and he stopped bickering with Lu Zhu, tenderly looking at the peacefully sleeping Tang Su beside him.

He could be Tang Su’s Superman.

As long as Tang Su needed, he could do anything for her.

Returning to the Lu Family home, Tang Su woke up for a bit, and the servants made them dumplings and glutinous rice balls. Tang Su had the glutinous rice balls, and after finishing them, Lu Han took her upstairs for a shower and to catch up on some sleep.

Tang Su ended up sleeping through lunchtime.

Bai Wei was worried about her, but Lu Han reassured Bai Wei that sleeping well was better than having lunch.

"All right, you’re the doctor, Mom will listen to you."

"Tomorrow, you’re accompanying Tang Su to see her grandmother. The gifts to bring over, Mom has prepared them for you; come and take a look."

"No need to look, Mom’s preparations are always thorough. I just feel that there’s no need to go to such expense." Lu Han’s kindness depended on how well others treated Tang Su.

The Su Family didn’t deserve their thoughtful efforts.

"We can’t really say that; after all, she is Tang Su’s grandmother, and there’s also the aunt and uncle."

"I know."

Bai Wei kept Tang Su’s lunch on the warming plate to maintain the right temperature until Tang Su came down, ensuring it was just right.

"Then I’ll go to your grandfather’s house with your dad first. Oh yes, on the third day of the new year, your three siblings from over there will come over to pay a New Year’s visit, and both you and Tang Su should be at home to meet them. Tang Su can get to know them, and from the fourth day on, you can arrange your own schedule."

"Yeah, got it."

"Then we’re off."

Bai Wei and Lu Maoyan rushed to the Bai Family’s house. Patriarch Bai was completely fine now, except the doctor ordered him not to drink anymore, which the old gentleman wasn’t too pleased about.

When Tang Su came downstairs, Lu Han was accepting a local express delivery.

"Good day, Young Madam." The butler and the servants greeted Tang Su with utmost respect.

"Hello everyone, Happy New Year." Tang Su was very approachable, and unlike Lu Zhu who might just nod and be done with it, she couldn’t respond to greetings without reciprocating.

"It’s simply rude not to return a greeting; it’s been taught to me by my parents since I was little."

Due to her approachable nature, Tang Su was naturally liked by the servants.

Lu Han put aside the express delivery and personally served the lunch he had reserved for Tang Su, sitting down with her to eat together. He had been awake for a while but hadn’t eaten, waiting to have lunch with his wife.

"Where are Sister and Brother-in-law?"

"They’ve gone back to her marital home. Tomorrow, the second day, is the traditional time to visit her parental home."

"Oh."

So it was the same everywhere, returning to the parental home on the second day.

"Then tomorrow, you should stay at home and accompany Sister and Brother-in-law. I can visit my grandmother’s house on behalf of my parents by myself," Tang Su considerately offered.

"No need, my sister and her husband visit her parental home quite frequently throughout the year. Tomorrow is just a formality; I’ll accompany you to the Su Family."

"Okay."

Seeing Lu Han’s insistence, Tang Su didn’t persist.

After lunch, before going to the Bai Family for the dinner gathering, Tang Su packed the red envelopes she was preparing to give to her grandmother for the next day—three red envelopes in total, with one large one for her parents.

The two smaller ones were from her and her elder brother.

Since the Su Family had no younger generation yet, aside from her grandmother, Tang Su didn’t need to prepare any other red envelopes.

After getting the red envelopes ready, Tang Su suggested buying some gift boxes or something, but Lu Han took her to a corner of the living room. "These are all prepared by your mother-in-law."

"Mom has put so much effort into this."

"Yeah, doesn’t she deserve a reward?" Lu Han leaned in, hinting for a prize.

Tang Su: "..."
