"Lu Xiyu, you are using me."
Sumu Qiao raised his hand and slapped him in the face.
Lu Xiyu grabbed her hand, raised his eyes, and the curve of his mouth revealed a bit of evil.
In a few years, Lu Xiyu has completely lost his original immatureness, but his appearance is still somewhat different from his previous life.
Even he himself found it strange and often thought about it alone in front of the mirror.
When he finally got through a few years and walked out of the prison door, he finally figured it out.
"Jojo."
Lu Xiyu grabbed Su Muchiao's hand with one hand and pinched her chin with the other, approaching her little by little.
They didn't stop until there was less than a centimeter between them and they could feel their breathing under their noses.
"Are you sure you want to fall out with me over a few unrelated people? Are you... willing?"
His lips finally came down and pecked Sumu Qiao's lips, like a dragonfly touching water, without lingering much.
"Does Guan Bao know how tempting the goddess he has been determined to marry since childhood is when she is under another man?"
Su Muchiao's eyes were stern, and he struggled to fight back, but instead, Lu Xiyu held him in his arms harder.
"Lu Xiyu!"
Sumu Qiao's eyes were full of hatred, "I will kill you."
At this moment, Su Muchiao really wanted to kill Lu Xihe immediately, even to death with a thousand cuts.
Lu Xiyu could also see the murderous look in her eyes, but he chuckled and didn't take it seriously.
"Every time you get angry, you say you want to kill me, but am I still alive and well? Sumu Qiao, admit it, you are reluctant to kill me. Otherwise, you would not have visited me in prison during the years I was in prison."
"You forced me to go!"
"Really? What about the first time? Was it the first time you visited me because I forced you?"
Lu Xiyu let go of Su Muchiao and said in a mocking tone, "I have used you more than once or twice. You knew it, but you pretended not to know and used me instead. I knew you were using me, but you didn't Point it out, wouldn’t it be very harmonious for us to continue like this? Everyone gets what they need and everyone is happy.”
"The reason why you suddenly acted so aggressively today is just because Guan Bao knows your true identity."
Lu Xiyu's eyes suddenly became fierce. He grabbed Su Muchiao's arm and threw her towards the sofa.
He rushed forward and shattered Sumu Qiao's clothes with one palm.
"I warned you, you can't have another man in your heart except me, Sumu Qiao, you have angered me."
The sounds of struggling and yelling continued, filling the entire villa.
…
At 11:30 p.m., Su Muchiao returned home. In the living room, Su Yitong and Guan Bao were sitting on the sofa talking.
"Qiaoqiao, where have you been? Why did you come back so late? The phone is also turned off. Guan Bao has been waiting for you all night."
Su Yitong stood up and walked over. Just as he was about to say something, his eyes fell on Su Muchiao's accidentally exposed collarbone.
Such red marks...
Su Yitong was not someone who had not experienced it before, so she naturally knew what those traces represented.
Her pupils shrank and she glanced at Su Muchiao, with a stunned expression on her face.
Sumu Qiao lowered his head following her eyes, raised his hand to straighten his collar and cover his collarbone.
"I'm a little tired, so I'll go upstairs to rest."
She didn't dare to look at Su Yitong, let alone Guan Bao, and hurried upstairs, walking so fast that even she felt a little panicked.
Su Yitong was stunned for a moment, then quickly adjusted her mind and turned to look at Guan Bao.
"Girls are a little nervous before they get engaged. Although Qiao Qiao won't say it, you should know how she has been thinking about you for so many years. You two grew up together as childhood sweethearts. When you get engaged in the future, you must be mutually exclusive. Support and understand each other.”
Su Yitong's meaningful words were mixed with endless worries about the future of these two people. Only she knew how stiff and unnatural the smile on her face was at this time.
Guan Bao pretended not to notice, glanced upstairs, and then nodded, "Don't worry, I will do it."
When leaving Su's house, Guan Bao looked back at Su Muchiao's room upstairs.
The light was on, and a dark shadow stood beside the bed.
Guan Bao knew that it was Sumu Qiao, and she was looking at him.
Qiaoqiao, how are you looking at me at this moment
Is it guilt, wariness, or calculation
Guan Bao's eyes dimmed and he turned around and left the Su family.
The temperature in Beicheng has dropped tonight, a bit cold.
As Guan Bao walked on the way home, he couldn't help but shiver, just like the bottom of his heart.
When passing by Si's house, he stopped.
A few small lights in the Si family's yard were still on, making the shadow of the swing long.
Looking further inside, the house was pitch black, and there was no light in any of the windows upstairs or downstairs.
"Standing in front of someone else's house in the middle of the night, be careful of being caught as a thief."
The sudden sound behind him startled Guan Bao.
He turned around suddenly, "Oh my God!"
An enlarged face was so close that it almost touched him.
"Tsk, am I that scary? Don't yell and scream at night." Guan Bao breathed a sigh of relief at the familiar voice.
He took two steps back, put a hand on his heart, and said with lingering fear: "Mom, don't stand behind people so suddenly and speak suddenly, okay? People can scare people to death."
Lu Wanqin was wearing an evening dress, with makeup still on her face. It was obvious from a glance that she had just returned from a banquet.
Her cheeks were slightly drunk and flushed, and she smelled of alcohol, but her eyes were bright and bright, without any trace of drunkenness.
"You're so scared, have you done something wrong?"
Guan Bao chose to keep his mouth shut. His mother must be trying to repeat her old tricks and deceive him.
"Do you think I want to deceive you? There is so much commotion about this matter today. Do you really think you don't know whether your mother is deaf or blind?"
"The Si family and An Luo personally carried a corpse into the Dynasty Group. The news of the return of the direct descendant of the Tang family Zheng'er has now spread throughout the entire cultivation world."
Guan Bao was slightly stunned, "A descendant of the Tang family? Who is it? What does today's incident have to do with the Tang family?"
Lu Wanqin helplessly held her forehead, she really didn't want to admit that she gave birth to such a stupid son.
"go home with me."
Lu Wanqin gave Guan Bao a hard look. Some words were really inappropriate to say at the door of other people's homes.
Especially in the middle of the night.
When he got home, Guan Bao helped Lu Wanqin put out the bath water and prepared honey water. Everything was taken care of properly.
Only if you have good eyesight can your mother be in a good mood.
Sure enough, so many years of experience are still useful. After Lu Wanqin took a bath and drank honey water, she felt much better.
The mother and son sat on the wicker chairs on the balcony, facing the stars, and started chatting.
"Son, since you have only been in society for a short period of time, your mother and I will tell you about the current situation. Sumu Qiao has hit the wall this time. Once Luoluo's true identity is exposed, the Su family becomes a public enemy and is punished. The days of isolation are here. Let me ask you, are you serious about your marriage to the Su family? "
"I… "
"I don't care why you suddenly got engaged to Su Muchiao in the first place. Now it's time to make a decision. If you have other secrets and have to get engaged to her, then I don't care what the secret is. Stop it immediately." , because in my opinion, no matter how big the secret is, you can’t hurt Nian Nian and Luo Luo.”
"But if you really like Sumu Qiao and want to get engaged to her, then as a mother, I won't object. Although we will face many enemies, your mother is not a vegetarian. No, I can still protect my son, daughter-in-law."
Guan Bao's nose felt a little sore. He didn't expect that in such a situation, his mother would still support him like this.
Even if he didn't say it, he knew what he would face in the future if he was really bound to the Su family.
The surprise in this matter may be Luoluo's identity.
The true direct descendant of the Tang family, the only remaining descendant of the An family, the little princess of the Lanlost family, with a bloodline more noble than the royal family of the Yun Kingdom...
These are things Guan Bao didn't expect.
"mom… "
"Don't be too impatient to be impressed. Just give me the right words. I'm still sleepy and need to get some beauty sleep."
Lu Wanqin raised her hand and pressed the mask on her face, fearing that it would cause wrinkles and affect her skin.
Guan Bao: “…”
There is really no emotion at all.
"I...I can't say."
Guan Bao shook his head.
"I am your mother."
"Mom can't tell either."
Lu Wanqin simply took off the mask and threw it on the ground, "You can't say this, and you can't say that. If you don't say anything, how will I know which one is my daughter-in-law?"
"If you like Luo Luo, then my mother will go to Su's house early tomorrow morning to take Su Muchiao out and punish her. How can someone who bullies my daughter-in-law still be alive?"
"If you like Sumu Qiao, then Mom will admit that you are blind and accept your fate. You two should quickly hold the ceremony and make out wherever you fall in love. Then I will recognize Luoluo as my goddaughter, and she will be your kiss from now on. Girl, find a good man and marry her..."
"no!"
Guan Bao stood up and blurted out anxiously.
Lu Wanqin crossed her arms across her chest and looked at Guan Bao with a smile, "Young man, did you get tricked by me? Okay, I know what to do. It's too late, go to sleep."
After saying that, Lu Wanqin stretched, shook his neck, and walked towards the bedroom.
"Mom, please don't mess around, Qiaoqiao..."
Lu Wanqin turned back sharply, without a trace of smile on his face, and his eyes were even cold.
"Son, I don't care why you are protecting Su Muchiao. It is a fact that she hurt my daughter-in-law and goddaughter. Based on this alone, I, Lu Wanqin, cannot spare her, including the Su family."
"What does this have to do with the Su family?" Guan Bao's head was spinning. As expected, anything would become serious once his mother got involved.
"The Su family's biggest mistake was giving birth to Su Muchiao."
"You are being unreasonable."
"Tch, when have I ever been reasonable with your mother?"
Lu Wanqin rolled her eyes at Guan Bao and went back to the bedroom to sleep like a normal person.
Guan Bao had a headache. He scratched his hair and returned to his room, locked the door, and quickly started making phone calls.
"Hey, Minister, something bad has happened. My mother is going to Su's house tomorrow to find trouble to vent her anger on Nian Nian and Luo Luo."
"What? Do you want to continue the engagement? Minister, have you forgotten who my mother is? She is Lu Wanqin. With her interfering in this matter, how can Qiaoqiao and I still be engaged? "
"Okay, I'll try."
After Guan Bao hung up the phone, he threw himself on the bed and collapsed. All that appeared in his mind was An Luo's disappointed and hurt eyes.
"Luoluo, I'm sorry."
"Oh! I'm such a scumbag."
…
Early the next morning, at dawn, Guan Bao got up and called Si Xiyou.
"Hey, Uncle Si, how is she doing with Nian Nian? Oh, I'm relieved that she's fine. Well..."
Guan Bao scratched his head, a little embarrassed to say anything.
Si Xiyou on the other end of the phone had just gotten up and was standing by the window, watching Si Niannian practicing with the ferret and white rabbit in the yard.
"Guan Bao, if you call me uncle, you treat me as an elder. If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Second Uncle Si, you... do you have time today? Can you go on a date with my mother for a day? It's best to go as early as possible. The earlier the better, it's fine now."
Guan Bao gritted his teeth and said everything.
Si Xiyou: "...A date with your mother?"
"Oh, I can't explain it to Uncle Si now in detail, but I must ask you to help me with this, because my mother can't agree to anyone else except you, and I came to you because I really had no other choice."
I don't know which words touched Si Xiyou's heart, so he just agreed.
Soon, Si Xiyou appeared at Guan Bao's house and took Lu Wanqin away.
Guan Bao breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the two of them get into the car and drive in the opposite direction to the Su family.
"Sure enough, mom still needs to find a man when she gets older."
Guan Bao nodded, and it seemed that he could bring them together after this matter was over.
After all these years, it's time for him to have a father.
Taking out his phone, Guan Bao sent a message.
[action.]
Immediately afterwards, he went out and went to Su's house as usual.
"Jojo."
At the door of Su's house, Guan Bao met Su Muchiao who was about to go out.
She was dressed differently from usual today. Her whole body was in dark colors, and her long hair, which she always wore hanging high, made her look a little more gloomy and sharp.
If she used to be aloof and cold and people would not approach her, then now she is so cold and cold that people don't dare to approach her.
"Qiaoqiao, where are you going? Didn't we agree to try on engagement dresses today?"
Sumu Qiao looked at Guan Bao, his mouth moved twice, but he stopped talking, and his confused eyes gradually became firm.
"I was just going to try on dresses with you."
The suddenly changed lie seemed stiff and unnatural.
But Guan Bao acted as if he couldn't hear it and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go. Dona must have been waiting for us."
Dona was once the youngest creative director of L Group. Although he later resigned and started his own studio, his relationship with Lu Wanqin did not break down. The two have been friends for many years and often have business contacts.
Therefore, Guan Bao also handed over the custom-made dress to Dona.
Dona's studio is in the southern suburbs, not far from the commercial street. It is a single-family three-story office building with a small yard. It is decorated very artistically, with a bit of poetry.
