I and my bestie dressed up as a rich man's wife and ran away with the ball

At the same time, Su Ran and Lu Xi were completely unaware of the impending danger.

During this period, Zhu Yuan put aside his official duties and often came to accompany Tangtang and Lu Xi.

Tangtang had wanted to go to the lantern festival for a long time. Zhu Yuan happened to have time today, so he took Tangtang out, and Lu Xi also went to the lantern festival with them.

Although you can build an entire lantern festival in a villa, the lively atmosphere of millions of people gathering together cannot be created in a villa.

Although Tangtang is still young, she has already demonstrated her strong attributes as a social leader. The more people there are, the happier she has.

Children are full of energy at this age. Lu Xi was exhausted after running with Tangtang for a while.

Tangtang knew that Mommy couldn't run, so she took the initiative to say, "Mommy, can Uncle Qin take me to see the lights? You and Uncle Zhu Yuan can follow behind."

The Uncle Qin that Tangtang mentioned is the captain of the first guard under Zhu Yuan. He is alert and has good skills.

Lu Xi was very confident in him. She nodded and said, "Okay, then don't run too far. I'll follow you."

"Great!!"

After getting Lu Xi's permission, Tangtang immediately flew far away like a flying kite.

Looking at Tangtang's jumping back and forth, Lu Xi shook his head helplessly, "It seems that I am getting old. I don't know where Tangtang gets so much energy all day long."

"Not old." Zhu Yuan's focus was a little off. He looked at Lu Xi's profile, his eyes sparkling under the light, "Very young, and very beautiful."

No one would refuse compliments about their beauty, let alone compliments from a handsome guy.

Lu Xi smiled with curved eyes, "Thank you for the compliment."

"What kind of lanterns do you want? Let's go and have a look together." Zhu Yuan looked at Lu Xi gently, "I heard from Su Ran that you can make lanterns by yourself."

"Yes." Speaking of this, Lu Xi's eyes lit up, "When I went to school with Su Ran, I often set up a stall with her to sell this."

In their previous life, during every festival, Su Ran and Lu Xi would go to crowded places to set up stalls, make many beautiful little handicrafts, and then sell them on the street. Because there were always a lot of people on holidays, they could make a lot of money in one night.

Lu Xi glanced around and saw a stall not far away that specialized in making homemade lanterns. She pulled Zhu Yuan towards the stall and said, "Come on, I can make you a lantern of any kind you want."

Zhu Yuan's attention was not on the lanterns. He lowered his eyes slightly, and his deep gaze fell on Lu Xi's hand that was holding his wrist.

Lu Xi was still walking forward, but there were too many people, especially the team from the front who were swimming dragons. The crowd became even more crowded, and Lu Xi was almost knocked down by the people next to him.

Zhu Yuan held Lu Xi's hand and pulled her towards him, "Be careful."

Zhu Yuan's hands were very warm, and when he wrapped Lu Xi's hands around them, Lu Xi subconsciously tightened his grip.

Noticing Lu Xi's actions, Zhu Yuan smiled at Lu Xi in a soothing manner, "There are too many people here, I'll take you with me."

"Oh." Lu Xi didn't know what to do. She felt confused and could only let Zhu Yuan pull her to the stall.

The stall owner was an old man. When he saw the two people coming hand in hand, he naturally thought they were a young couple on a date at the Lantern Festival. He looked at Zhu Yuan and said, "Sir, would you like to make a lantern for your girlfriend? Here is the tutorial. It's very simple."

Zhu Yuan did not correct the old man's address. He smiled and glanced at Lu Xi, "I am clumsy and can't do this well. Let her do it."

The old man immediately turned to the target customer and said, "Little girl, the lanterns I sell are very effective. If you make one yourself and give it to your boyfriend, he will love you forever."

Under the mask, Lu Xi's face was a little red. She knew Zhu Yuan was looking at her, so she didn't look up.

Anyway, she had already said that she would make a lantern for Zhu Yuan, so it would be bad to regret it now. She squatted down to select the materials for making the lantern, "Then I'll make one."

Soon, Lu Xi finished selecting the materials and sat on the side of the road, listening carefully to the old man's explanation of the tutorial while making the lantern in his hand.

Zhu Yuan said that he couldn't do it, but he still took some materials and sat next to Lu Xi and helped him do it.

Lu Xi knew how to make it, and with the help of the old man, she quickly made a beautiful lantern.

Since it was a gift for Zhu Yuan, Lu Xi also drew a few tall bamboos on the lampshade with a pen.

"You are really skillful, little girl." The old man praised Lu Xi, "Under the bridge over there is a place for lanterns. You two can go there to release lanterns."

"Okay, thank you."

Lu Xi and Zhu Yuan took the lanterns and went to the bridge that the old man mentioned. There were already many lanterns placed there. The shadows of the lanterns were swaying on the lake, like a galaxy pouring into the water.

"This is for you." Lu Xi handed the lantern with a bamboo painting to Zhu Yuan, "You can light it."

"Okay." Zhu Yuan nodded and handed the lantern he made to Lu Xi, a little embarrassed, "Sorry, it's not as exquisite as yours, but it's also a token of my appreciation. Why don't we light it together?"

"it is good."

Perhaps because they trusted the captain of the guard, the two of them released lanterns here and did not go looking for Tangtang.

The captain of the guard was indeed reliable. He followed Tangtang closely and isolated all strangers who wanted to get close to Tangtang.

But Tangtang couldn't stop herself from running towards the stranger.

“Uncle Ye!!”
