469: Niannian, I want to submit a report on my relationship.

Soon, people heard the commotion and ran out as well.

A young man ran over holding a stick.

The older man glared angrily at Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian.

"You dare to pick a lock! Hurry up and call the Public Security Bureau..."

"They look decent, yet they're thieves."

Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing were wearing military greatcoats today, but they were the newest version, not the old-style ones, so these people didn't know they were Soldiers. They only saw them using a wire to pick the lock.

Xiao Niannian looked at Lu Jing after hearing their words.

Lu Jing was treated as a thief for returning to his own home.

"Grandpa Ning, I am Lu Jing."

"I don't care who you are, it's useless. Just wait for the police to arrive..."

The old man said angrily.

The people around them were already preparing to act.

If these two thieves were caught and handed over to the Public Security Bureau, it would be a great deed.

"Grab them."

Just as the others rushed forward, preparing to strike, the old man roared.

"Wait a moment."

He stared at Lu Jing, looked a few more times, and finally recognized him.

"Are you the Lu family kid?"

Seeing that Lu Jing looked somewhat similar to Grandpa Lu and Father Lu, the old man remembered Lu Jing calling him Grandpa Ning just now.

"Yes, Grandpa Ning, I am Lu Jing."

Grandpa Ning said with a smile.

"It really is you, kid! I'm just old and my eyesight is failing. Grandpa Ning apologizes to you..." Grandpa Ning looked at Lu Jing cheerily, then addressed the neighbors around them.

"You all go back. This is Lu Jing, the owner of this house."

Hearing this, the young people looked at Lu Jing.

"Sorry, we made a mistake..."

"Comrade Lu, we apologize."

Hearing their apologies, Lu Jing spoke.

"It's alright, Grandpa Ning..."

After Grandpa Ning and the other neighbors left, Lu Jing led Xiao Niannian into the courtyard.

Xiao Niannian noticed that the house had been newly renovated.

The courtyard was paved with blue bricks and had a flower bed containing Osmanthus trees and camellias—plants that are easy to maintain and don't require much care... There was also a small pond with running water, and some round stones at the bottom.

However, some parts of the pond were currently covered with a thin layer of ice.

This courtyard was very similar to the one she lived in in her original world, and Xiao Niannian looked at it with some surprise.

Lu Jing used the wire again to open the door lock.

After opening the door, Xiao Niannian saw that the interior design was a cream style combined with natural wood, which was extremely rare for this era.

"These furniture pieces were also newly commissioned..."

Lu Jing said with a smile.

"This sofa is from the blueprint you drew before. See if it's the same, along with the other furniture in the living room..."

Only then did Xiao Niannian remember that she had drawn some furniture designs when she was bored. She had originally planned to renovate her own house later using this exact style.

She hadn't expected Lu Jing to remember all of this just by glancing at it.

And he had recreated it so perfectly.

"I really like it."

Xiao Niannian said with a smile.

When Lu Jing heard Niannian say she liked it, he was very happy.

"If you ever get tired of staying at home, you can come and live here."

Actually, he wanted to spend more time with Niannian.

"You take the master bedroom, and I'll take the second bedroom."

His Grandparents had told him before to get engaged sooner, or marry sooner after engagement. As for children, they could wait two or three years... Of course, it was up to Niannian; whenever Niannian wanted to have children, they would have them.

When the time came, his mother would retire and help take care of the child.

His Grandparents would also go along to help look after them.

Niannian would continue working, and it wouldn't affect her job... Everything would be according to Niannian's wishes.

Hearing Lu Jing's words, Xiao Niannian raised an eyebrow.

"You want to live in the same house as me?"

Hearing Niannian's words and seeing the amusement in her eyes, Lu Jing smiled.

"Yes."

Xiao Niannian had originally intended to tease Lu Jing, but she didn't expect him to answer so directly.

"Then that's fine."

Lu Jing looked at Niannian in surprise. Did she really agree?

His face was full of joy, but then he shook his head.

"No, we aren't married yet, we can't live together. I..."

Lu Jing felt a little nervous.

"Niannian, I want to submit a Relationship Application, is that okay?"

Hearing Lu Jing's words, Xiao Niannian looked at his expectant face and nodded.

"Alright, Comrade Lu Jing, I agree to your Relationship Application."

Xiao Niannian thought that in her previous life, she had reached Lu Jing's age without ever having been in a relationship. In this life, she had met such a wonderful Lu Jing, and since they were already dating, what was submitting a Relationship Application?

Once the Relationship Application was submitted, they could openly date from then on.

Lu Jing excitedly embraced Xiao Niannian, his eyes filled with joy.

"Niannian, you agreed?"

Niannian really agreed to him! That's wonderful! Niannian agreed to him.

Xiao Niannian hadn't expected Lu Jing to be so happy just because she agreed to the Relationship Application.

In fact, since coming back these past few days, including the last time she went home, she had heard her Grandparents mention wanting her and Lu Jing to get engaged.

Moreover, Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu had also brought this up with her Grandparents.

Her Grandparents naturally said they would respect her wishes, but the grandmothers also said that Lu Jing was an excellent partner, and if she was with Lu Jing, she would be happy for life.

Xiao Niannian had seen some people dating and some getting married and divorced, but she had been clearly aware of Lu Jing's goodness over the past two years.

If she missed Lu Jing, no one better than him would come along later.

Of course, she would never miss Lu Jing.

"Silly."

Xiao Niannian reached out her hands, cupping and rubbing Lu Jing's face.

Lu Jing looked at Niannian affectionately, his eyes full of tenderness.

Xiao Niannian looked at Lu Jing, thinking of their previous kiss.

She raised her head and kissed Lu Jing.

Lu Jing blinked, turning passive into active, and lowered his head to kiss her back.

Now that they were inside the house, there was no one to disturb them.

After a good while, Lu Jing finally let go of Niannian. Seeing the blush on her face, the smile on Lu Jing's lips widened.

"How about I cook lunch for you today?"

Hearing that Lu Jing was going to cook for her, Xiao Niannian nodded.

"Okay."

Lu Jing walked toward the kitchen.

Xiao Niannian saw that there was a refrigerator here, and the kitchen was stocked with many ingredients.

Had he planned this out long ago?

Xiao Niannian looked around the house and found that the living room had a sofa, a television, a coffee table, and even a sewing machine not far away.

She walked toward the bedroom.

Inside the room, the four-piece bedding set was laid out, the quilt was folded, and heating had been installed in the house.

She opened the wardrobe and saw that it was filled with clothes, all new, and they carried the scent of laundry detergent.

Everything in this house was ready; she could move in immediately with just her bag.
