Chapter 922 ·It Won_t Lie

Mid-July.

Su Ruochu graduated from graduate school.

Yunhai Airport.

Chen Fan arrived early to pick up his wife-to-be.

"I said I'm here to pick up my wife-to-be, what are you two doing here?"

Glancing to the side, Ma Xiaoshuai and Song Linlin were whispering together.

"You two must be really free. You're about to get married and should have lots of things to do, why are you here joining the crowd?"

Ma Xiaoshuai chuckled: "If it was someone else, I wouldn't come, but since my wife is close to your wife, how could I not?"

Song Linlin also joked: "Can't I come pick up my bridesmaid?"

"Alright, alright, you're the bride, you're the boss."

The three chatted and laughed, finally, at 10 AM, the flight from Beijing landed on time at Yunhai Airport.

After waiting a while, they saw Su Ruochu walking out from the arrival gate from afar.

Even after graduating from graduate school, Su Ruochu still dressed very youthfully.

Ponytail, a warm yellow long dress, walking among the crowd, she looked like a teenage girl.

Song Linlin stood on her tiptoes and waved vigorously.

Chen Fan walked towards her with flowers in his arms.

Su Ruochu saw the three of them, her lips slightly curled up, and she quickened her pace.

Finally, she arrived in front of Chen Fan.

"Congratulations to my wife-to-be on completing her studies and returning."

Su Ruochu smilingly accepted the flowers Chen Fan handed over, and gently smelled them.

"They smell so nice."

She then opened her arms, "Hug."

Chen Fan smiled and stepped forward, embracing Su Ruochu.

"Oh my, I can't bear to watch, this is a public place, you two should mind your actions."

Ma Xiaoshuai teased while taking Su Ruochu's suitcase.

Song Linlin reminded them: "Alright, save the hugging for home, stay any longer and reporters might photograph you, then you'll be in the news again."

Hearing this, Su Ruochu nervously looked around, seemingly worried about reporters nearby.

But Chen Fan confidently held her hand.

"It's fine, doesn't matter if they photograph us. You're my girlfriend, my fiancee, and soon to be my wife, what's there to be afraid of?"

Song Linlin couldn't help but ask curiously: "Are you two planning to get married too? Have you set a date?"

Chen Fan smiled: "Don't worry. We definitely won't be earlier than you two."

"Huh!"

Song Linlin linked arms with Su Ruochu: "Actually, I initially thought how nice it would be if we got married on the same day."

Su Ruochu always maintained a serene and beautiful demeanor. She looked at Song Linlin and asked: "How's the wedding house decoration going? Is everything prepared for the wedding?"

Song Linlin smiled: "The wedding house was decorated long ago, your man gave us a complete set of furniture, the price could almost buy our house."

Su Ruochu smiled gently: "It's fine, he has money anyway. Just take what he gives you."

"Hehe, I love hearing that."

Watching the two girls chatting and laughing in front, Chen Fan asked Ma Xiaoshuai: "You're getting married soon, how does it feel?"

Ma Xiaoshuai thought seriously and gave his answer.

"Honestly, I'm both excited and nervous. Sometimes, I even feel lost."

"Lost?"

"Yes. Everything feels unreal."

"I always feel like I haven't grown up yet, like I'm still a child. Sometimes I dream about being in school, sometimes I dream about taking math exams and wake up in cold sweat..."

Chen Fan laughed: "I've had dreams like that too. It's fine, you're just under too much pressure lately, probably nervous about the upcoming wedding."

"How about I ask Brother Jie to arrange a pre-wedding relaxation trip for you?"

Ma Xiaoshuai shook his head: "Better not. If Brother Jie arranges it, we might end up in jail..."

Chen Fan laughed heartily, unusually defending Brother Jie.

"Though Brother Jie's bathhouse is full of beautiful women, it's actually very legitimate."

"If you're scared to go, why not bring Song Linlin and come with us to Chuanshu in a few days?"

"Chuanshu?"

Ma Xiaoshuai was surprised.

Chen Fan explained: "We donated an elementary school there before, the building is completed this year, and they hope Ruochu can attend the opening ceremony."

"If you really don't have anything major these days, you can bring Song Linlin along, and you can also tour around there."

Chen Fan smiled and explained: "The environment there is quite beautiful."

Ma Xiaoshuai was tempted.

"I'll discuss it with Song Linlin."

After the four walked out of the airport hall, a moment later, the six bodyguards responsible for protecting Su Ruochu appeared and naturally blended into the crowd and disappeared.

...

Back in the familiar room, Su Ruochu put away her suitcase, then sat on the master bedroom's bed.

Her gaze swept across every corner of the room.

During the time she was away, the room was kept spotlessly clean, clearly not last-minute cleaning but regular maintenance by Chen Fan.

Su Ruochu was particularly satisfied with Chen Fan's cleanliness.

Sometimes she even felt Chen Fan had mild obsessive-compulsive disorder, being more fond of cleaning than herself, a woman.

The phone rang.

Su Ruochu picked it up and looked.

"Hello, Mom..."

In the kitchen, Chen Fan wore an apron, personally cooking.

Today he was truly very happy.

His wife-to-be finally graduated.

Three years.

A full three years.

These three years, he, a man with a girlfriend, lived like an ascetic monk.

Su Ruochu's little head peeked from the kitchen doorway.

"My mom criticized me for coming to see you first instead of going home after graduation."

"Said daughters grow up and leave."

Chen Fan waved his spatula while smiling: "Mother-in-law is right."

"Hmph. If you say that, then I'll go home this afternoon."

"Let's talk about the afternoon later, let's discuss the current matter."

"What matter?"

Chen Fan turned off the heat and put the food on a plate, then turned to look at Su Ruochu.

"Haven't you not kissed me since you came back this time?"

Su Ruochu smiled gently, hands behind her back, walked over and stood on tiptoes to give Chen Fan a quick peck on the cheek.

"Is this okay?"

"Of course not enough!"

Chen Fan quickly took off his apron, while grabbing Su Ruochu and eagerly walking towards the bedroom.

"Student Su Ruochu, three years, a full three years, you made me live as a single man for three years."

"You don't think one kiss is enough to repay the debt, do you?"

Su Ruochu kept giggling at Chen Fan's teasing.

"Then what do you want to do?"

"From now on I can be with you every day..."

"We'll talk about later later, let's take care of today's matter first."

"Ah, it tickles..."

"Let's eat first, can we eat first?"

"I'll do it myself, I'll do it myself!"

Su Ruochu lay on the bed, looking at Chen Fan who was lying on top of her, her eyes moving.

"Then you have to answer one question first."

"Ask."

"During these three years of long-distance relationship, did you do anything bad behind my back?"

"What bad things?"

Su Ruochu was a bit embarrassed, her little face reddish.

"Just... just going for... that kind of massage..."

Chen Fan immediately smiled and raised his hand.

"I swear. Absolutely not."

"Really?"

"Really. When I missed you I usually took care of it myself, self-sufficient."

Chen Fan seriously put his palm in front of Su Ruochu.

"Look, the calluses on my palm won't lie..."
