“You’re pretty romantic…” Su Luo’s tone was filled with envy.

“This is for couples…” when Ma Jiachen said this, he secretly observed Su Luo’s reaction.

“Then we can wear it together. I like it very much. Thank you.” Su Luo’s smile was charming.

Seeing that Su Luo really liked it, Ma Jiachen heaved a sigh of relief. His gaze became even more gentle.

Ma Jiachen realized that Su Luo seemed to be really changing. In the past, Su Luo would never take the initiative to ask him where he was going. She would ask him to take her on a date. She would never ask him about any gifts or surprises. Her reaction would always be indifferent, and she would even reject things that belonged to a couple. Although they had been together for four years, they were more like roommates instead.

Now, Su Luo would care about him. She would put in the effort to decorate the house. Now, there were more and more things that belonged to her here. Although he didn’t know why Su Luo changed, Ma Jiachen was still happy.

Ma Jiachen was going to a gathering at a friend’s house this weekend. In the past, Ma Jiachen didn’t dare to invite her because he knew that Su Luo wouldn’t go even if he asked. But this time, Ma Jiachen nervously asked Su Luo for her opinion, and she nodded.

On the road, Ma Jiachen was still a little excited. He was driving when he heard Su Luo ask again, “Are we really going there without bringing anything?”

Ma Jiachen replied, “We’re all friends. They don’t mind.”

“What about them? Are they easy to get along with?” Su Luo was a little nervous.

Ma Jiachen found it funny that she was nervous, and he also felt a warmth in his heart. She was worried because she cared about him, right?

Ma Jiachen comforted her, “Don’t worry. If they dare to bully you, I’ll help you tease them back!” With that, he made a fierce expression.

Su Luo was amused by him, and her mood relaxed. Soon, the two of them arrived at their destination. When they came, the others were already there.

A man took the lead to greet Ma Jiachen, “Jiachen, you’re late today. You’ll have to drink alcohol later as a punishment…”

“It’s obvious that you all came early to find an opportunity to drink with me!” After Ma Jiachen said that, the others also rushed forward to joke around.

After joshing around, Ma Jiachen introduced Su Luo, “These are my friends of more than 20 years. This is Tan Yu, Yuan Dawei, and this…” after Ma Jiachen finished speaking, he introduced Su Luo to the others, “This is my girlfriend, Su Luo.”

“You can just call me Luoluo…” Su Luo smiled at them.

“So you are this good-looking. No wonder Jiachen has been reluctant to bring her out…”

Everyone’s banter made Su Luo feel very embarrassed.

“Where are the your wifes?” Ma Jiachen asked about their family members.

“They’re cooking.” Tan Yu pointed to the kitchen.

Hearing this, Ma Jiachen brought Su Luo to the kitchen to greet them. These women had all seen Ma Jiachen before, but not Su Luo, so they couldn’t help but feel a little reserved.

However, it was very easy to establish a friendship between women. Su Luo took the initiative to stay behind to help and pushed Ma Jiachen out. They became familiar with each other with just a few words as Su Luo was young and could hold her talk. The few of them divided their work and worked together. Soon, a table full of delicious dishes was prepared.

A group of people sat at the dining table. Yuan Dawei and the others let out a sigh of admiration. “It’s looks so good. Looks like we can have a feast tonight…”

“Most of these dishes were cooked by Luoluo. You guys got to eat it up…” Yuan Dawei’s wife laughed.

“Is that so? Among us men, only Jiachen knows how to cook. I didn’t expect you to have such good cooking skills…”

The group of people ate while praising Su Luo’s cooking skills as if she was a chef.

Su Luo sighed inside her as she remembered finding a chef to improve her cooking skills in the previous book she was in. Naturally, it shouldn’t be bad.

Ma Jiachen looked at the smile on Su Luo’s face and felt entirely at ease. He would peel the prawns and pick up what she wanted to eat when she ate. Su Luo only needed to eat because Ma Jiachen usually took care of her like this. Su Luo ate very naturally, but this scene made the other women envious. Then, they looked at their husband. It didn’t matter if their wives ate or not. They would just continue eating very happily. The women were so angry that they would either pinch or shove their husbands, confusing the men. Thus…they ate another bowl of rice.

After the meal, they played cards. Men on one side while women on the other. The loser gets drawn on their face. Su Luo felt that she might not have the luck today because she kept losing! When Ma Jiachen came to look for her with his face clean, Su Luo had already turned into a dirty little kitten!

When Su Luo saw Ma Jiachen coming, she complained pitifully, “They ‘bullied’ me, you have to help me…”
