CHAPTER 201

Mu Zexi rushed to Luo Family again. Luo Qingyu and Luofu had just finished breakfast, Luofu had gone to flowerfield to look after the flowers while she was reading in the hall.

When she heard the servants tell her that Muze wanted to come, she closed the book. Taking a deep breath, she asked the servant to take him to her room, and she went upstairs first.

She had guessed that he would come to her when the news appeared in the newspapers. She could have ignored him and told him that she didn't need his interference. But no matter what, they were still Good friend. If she did that, she might really lose this Good friend, then she really wouldn't have any friends left.

Mu Zexi walked in and saw Luo Yu who had his back facing him, looking at the busy Luofu and beautiful flowers outside the window.

Ze Xi, you're here.

She heard his footsteps and turned to smile at him.

Mu Zexi was stunned by her smile. He felt that she was like an angel, and when she smiled, the entire room was filled with sunlight.

Xiao Luo, I saw the news in the newspaper. It was Lu Junhao who told you to do this right? Lu Junhao is simply insane, don't listen to him, Xu Jisi is not a good person, can I take you away?

Luo Qingyu looked at him, but did not immediately answer him, instead he smiled at him.

No, Ze Xi, he wasn't the one who asked me to go. I was the one who wanted to go, and like you, he also advised me not to go, he also said that he wanted to bring me away. I made the decision to marry Xu Jisi.

Why, Xiao Luo, why?

"Of course it's not because I like Xu Jisi. After staying in the Luo Family for so long, I have long treated Father Luo as my own father, but no matter what, I am just an imposter. He has already lost his daughter, but he still doesn't know anything. Moreover, I still owe Lu Junhao a favor. He likes Luo Qianjin that much, and the reason she called me out as a disguise back then was to find the culprit for Luo Qianjin.

What about you? Have you ever thought about yourself? How dangerous will you be?

Don't worry, Ze Xi. Since I've chosen to do this, I have the confidence to ensure my own safety. You don't have to worry about me. Besides, I have a younger sister to take care of. I won't let anything happen to myself.

After Mu Zexi heard her words, he no longer felt excited like before and gradually calmed down. After he finished reading the newspaper, he directly went to ask Lu Junhao about his impulsive actions, and even punched him.

Xiao Luo, since you have already made your decision, it's not good for me to say anything more. If you need anything, come find me, I will definitely do my best to help you.

Mu Zexi wanted to continue persuading her, but he understood her. It was hard to change what she had decided. Furthermore, she said that she was confident in his own safety and that he should trust her, so he gave up trying to persuade her. If that was what she wanted, then he would try to do it for her. He would stand behind her and be her strongest shield.

Luo Qingyu knew that Mu Zexi was different from the others. He would understand, believe, and stand by her side without hesitation. If they knew him first, perhaps she really would fall for him. But there were no ifs in this world, so they were destined to only be Good friend for life.

Thank you, Ze Xi. Thank you so much.

"Xiao Luo, don't say that. I believe in your words.

Luo Qingyu suddenly wanted to cry, but she didn't, she only smiled at him. It was great, with so many people around to support her, what was there to be afraid of? She was determined to keep going.

After sending off Mu Zexi, Luo Qingyu became even more determined. He would definitely make those who owed her return.

Ding Ling …

Just as Luo Qingyu finished speaking in his heart, he received a call from Xu Jisi. What a coincidence. It was good that they were impatient as soon as he thought of them.

Hello, Ji Si.

Xiao Luo, have you seen today's newspaper?

I saw it. You really gave me a big surprise. Why didn't you tell me when you told the newspaper?

Isn't this to give you a surprise? You promised to marry me, and I want the world to know this happy news.

Well, it was a surprise.

Xiao Luo, does Uncle Luo know about this as well?

Got it, I already told him.

Then what was his expression?

Nothing, he agreed.

Then let's invite uncle here to discuss the engagement date.

Sure, when do you say it?

How about tomorrow? I'll pay a visit to uncle and we'll talk when the time comes?

Alright, we'll follow your decision.

Luo Qingyu hung up the phone, Xu Jisi was extremely anxious, he anxiously sent the message to the newspaper, and did not tell her, because he was afraid that she would go back on her words. But Luo Qingyu would not go back on his words, they were the ones who went back on their words.

Luo Qingyu told Luofu about Xu Jisi's plans to come tomorrow, and Luofu agreed calmly. Since he already knew that Luo Qingyu was betrothed to him for some reason, then the Luofu should naturally help her as well.

Xu Jisi had been to the Luo Family many times before, so he knew what the Luofu liked. Therefore, he purposefully dressed up valiantly and elegantly, bringing a few things to curry favor with the Luofu, hoping to leave a good impression on him.

Although Luo Qingyu didn't want to dress up for him, he still couldn't find any flaws, so he dressed himself up a little.

Luofu also changed his suit on purpose.

When Xu Jisi came here, he was so stunned by Luo Qingyu's dressing that his eyes were glued to her body. Seeing him like this, the Luofu felt that his judgement from the beginning was not wrong.

Uncle Luo, long time no see.

Long time no see.

All three of them sat down.

Uncle, I hope you can like some small gifts.

He passed the things in his hands over, and the Luofu indicated for the servant to take it.

You can come. You don't need to bring a present.

How can that be? must have heard Xiao Luo's reason for coming today, right? Xiao Luo and I are going to get engaged. I hope you can grant our wish.

If I don't agree to this, you think you can come into my house.

Thank you, Uncle Luo.

You don't have to thank me. You had a relationship with Xiao Luo that was like an unmarried couple in the past, but who knew that after Xiao Luo lost his memories, the two of you would come together again. I only hope that you can treat Xiao Luo well in the future. She is my only daughter, and is someone I have spoiled since childhood. If you dare do anything to let her down, I won't let you go."

Although his father knew that her engagement to Xu Jisi was not real, but after he said those words, Luo Qingyu's heart felt warm. When he did get married, how much he would miss it. If you really don't want to get married, then stay with him for the rest of your life.

Don't worry uncle, Xiao Luo is good, I like Xiao Luo very much, I swear I will treat her well, Uncle Luo can inspect his at any time, as long as I do anything that lets Xiao Luo down, I will let uncle handle it.

Mm, since we're getting engaged, what about the date?

I came here today to discuss this with you. I chose a few days to go through it with Xiao Luo.

The days were all within this month, and he was indeed very anxious.

I'll listen to you.

Luofu said to Xu Jisi. Xu Jisi was very happy. If she could listen to him, then the sooner the better. After choosing the fastest day, Luofu and Luo Qingyu did not object, and the day was decided.

Preparing the invitation card, Xu Jisi decided to take responsibility for the booking of the hotel. Luo Qingyu was also happy to be at peace. She didn't want to care about these things to begin with.

These days, Xu Ji had been preparing invitations. He wanted to invite many people to let them know that he was now the son-in-law of the Luo Family. He wanted to see who else would dare act against his company.

Xu Jisi busied himself for a few days, and finally finished writing the invitation. Thinking about it again, of course he had to invite Lu Junhao, Lu Junhao was his good brother, and in the past, Lu Junhao and Luo Qingyu had an engagement. Didn't everyone like Lu Junhao? He didn't know how Lu Junhao would feel when his favorite girl fell into his embrace twice.

Xu Jisi was really looking forward to the expression of Lu Junhao on the Engagement party. He wanted to embarrass him and let him know that he was no match for him. He used to be high and mighty, but now he was stepping on top of her.

The more Xu Jisi thought about it, the more excited he became, and he even intentionally prepared an invitation card that was different from the norm for Xu Jisi. He was not able to walk with Luo Qingyu without him, and hence, he had to come to participate in their engagement ceremony no matter what.

It shouldn't be easy for him to reject it, right? Even if he refused, at that time, he could just go up on the Engagement party and tell him about it, making him lose all face.

Xu Jisi was always so petty, unable to see others being better than him, unable to see others being better than him. And he never thought of trying to make himself as outstanding as anyone else. He just wanted to drag everyone else into the mud and wish they were just like him. He wanted to deal a heavy blow and take his revenge.

But like this, he was still the same person. He didn't become any more outstanding. Once he fell, others would immediately stand up again. He had always been standing at the same place, so he would only be continuously surpassed and retaliated against by others.

Luo Qingyu had seen this kind of person before, and it was Cheng Xiaowei. How could it be possible that they were a match made in heaven? His way of thinking was all the same.

After he finished writing, he let the servants in the mansion deliver the letter to the Lu mansion, afraid that he wouldn't see it. Then, he kept waiting, waiting for the servant to deliver the news of Lu Junhao's fury.

He waited for a long time, but the servant finally came back. However, she said that he did not see Lu Junhao. Xu Jisi felt that it was a pity that he did not see the scene that he wanted to see.

Although they were getting engaged soon, Luo Qingyu didn't look like he was getting engaged at all. She gave everything to Xu Jisi. She still needed to work, read books, and rest when he needed to. Furthermore, her life had been even more cozy than before, because Xu Jisi had come to harass her previously. Now, Xu Jisi was too busy to do anything, and simply didn't have the time to come later on.

Of course, she didn't know that Xu Jisi had made a special invitation card and sent it to Lu Junhao. She just lived her life quietly and waited for the day of the engagement.

CHAPTER 202

Lu Junhao went out and when he returned, he heard from the servant that someone had sent him an invitation. As he walked into the study, he saw the exquisite invitation lying quietly on the table. It was placed by the servant, probably hoping that he would be able to see it as soon as he returned.

Lu Junhao picked up the invitation from the table. The invitation was made in an exquisite manner and looked like an envelope. He opened the package and retrieved the invitation card from inside, opening it to take a look, Xu Jisi's last words entered his eyes:

Mr. Lu:

You are Yue Lao of Xiao Luo and I, and without you, Xiao Luo and I would not have been able to get together. I am extremely grateful that you saved Xiao Luo. We wish to express our gratitude to you on the Engagement party.

Risker Hotel,

Very good, after Lu Junhao finished reading, he ruthlessly threw the invitation card onto the ground. However, it was not because he was angry because of Xu Jisi's provocation, but because of his We wish to express our gratitude on the Engagement party. We? Him and Xiao Luo? Who gave him face? Lu Junhao knew that Xu Jisi had been the only one to take care of the wedding matters, so she definitely did not know about the invitation. However, Xu Jisi was still very angry when he pulled their relationship so close.

Since it's like this, then we'll see it on the Engagement party. Lu Junhao silently picked up the invitation card, put it back, untouched, on the table.

After he finished handling the matter with the invitation, Xu Jisi was more or less free, leaving behind his formal attire. Luo Qingyu reckoned that he would probably come to find his to choose his dress. As expected, he directly went to Luo Family to look for her the next day.

Luo Qingyu didn't want to go with him to the shop to choose, so she couldn't stand staying with him for a while longer. I might as well choose it at home. In any case, I still have my father at home, so I'll just wear it for him to see.

She directly called the shop and told them to randomly choose one of the sets to come to Lo Mansion. She didn't really want to get engaged to him, so she didn't need to pay him that much attention.

I've taken a fancy to a few models, so I asked them to bring them here directly. That would save us the trouble of going out. You must have worked hard these past few days. Rest well and save us a lot of trouble.

Since she told this thought to Xu Jisi, he did not say much. Moreover, he had been really busy these past few days. Seeing how little she was thinking about him, he felt very gratified in his heart. He felt that all the hard work he had done before was worth it.

Of course she didn't think highly of the models. She only asked the manager to bring two of them over. The manager knew her. The famous Miss Luo, who wouldn't know? Presumably, he wouldn't bring ugly clothes either, unless she didn't want to be the manager anymore.

When the manager received her call today, he was very excited. He quickly took the best and most expensive set of clothes in the shop. Since Miss Luo wasn't short on money, why would she be afraid that she couldn't afford it? He had taken all the clothes that few people bought for the sake of being expensive would normally look good. He should be able to earn a large sum of money this time. The manager thought happily.

He quickly arrived at Lo Mansion, where Xu Jisi, Luo Qingyu and Luofu were already waiting for him.

Sorry, sorry. There was a bit of a traffic jam on the way, which caused me to arrive a little late. Sorry, sorry.

The manager was led in by a servant and saw the three of them sitting on the sofa. He immediately apologized. He was already rushing over, and there was no traffic jam on the way, but apologizing at a time like this was nothing to him.

You've come very fast. Have you brought the clothes? Show it to me.

Luo Qingyu said. This manager was really good at being human, it was not annoying at all.

The manager quickly handed the clothes over.

These are the most beautiful styles in our shop, they are very compatible with Miss Luo. Please give it a try, our dresses are not only nice to look at, but also very comfortable to wear.

Luo Qingyu naturally wanted to give it a try. This time, the manager brought a total of five sets of clothes, she casually took one of them and went upstairs to change.

The selection of gowns continued for the entire morning. Xu Jisi felt that these five sets of gowns were very beautiful, he didn't know which one he should buy, but he was the one who picked one out immediately.

When he was selecting his gowns today, he saw how clean and neat Luofu was. Thus, she was very curious. Was it also like this when he married Luo Wei's mother?

After Xu Jisi left, she asked.

Dad, were you like this when you married Mom? So decisively helping your mother pick out a dress?

The Luofu didn't seem to think that she would ask this after. He thought for a bit and smiled.

No, when your mother and I were choosing dresses, we were hesitant about two things. I kept thinking about which was better, and then I came up with a good idea.

What method?

Two is fine, but when the time comes, your mother will have to attend a lot of banquets. There will always be a chance to wear it.

truly felt that he was extremely domineering.

Then today, why did you help me pick that one out all of a sudden?

Because it seems that you really want to end this quickly. Since Xu Jisi is unable to make a decision and you don't want to, then I can only help you make a decision. Anyway, you're not really engaged to him, so there's no need to be so careful.

After Luo Qingyu changed into five different sets of clothes, he was indeed very tired and wanted to finish it quickly. I didn't expect him to see it, and he was helping to pick out the dress for her. He was really nice to her.

As if he had seen through her thoughts, Luofu smiled and said, How can I not know what you are thinking? You're underestimating me too much, aren't you? If you change your clothes you'll be tired, you can go up and rest. I'll call you when we eat later.

Alright.

Luo Qingyu was indeed a little tired, changing clothes did not seem to require a lot of effort, but it was truly tiring.

Most of the preparations for the engagement had already been made and were now only waiting for the day of the engagement.

On the day of the engagement, Luo Qingyu and Luofu were called out very early on. Xu Jisi had invited a stylist at the hotel, so they only needed to bring their clothes over.

As Luo Qingyu woke up early, he was completely listless. He fiercely washed his face with cold water to drive away his drowsiness. He was going to be engaged to Xu Jisi today, and Xu Jisi felt that he was one step closer to success. Luo Qingyu also thought the same, she had to focus all of her attention to deal with it.

She just felt that she had let down the Luofu and wanted him to accompany her there so early. Luofu was worried about her, so he decided to follow her.

This kind of engagement between two clans wasn't just a matter of two people, it was also a matter of the two families.

There were more and more people in the banquet hall, Xu Jisi was entertaining the guests at the entrance while Luo Qingyu was putting on makeup inside the hall.

Xu Tun has a bright future ahead of us. To be able to catch Miss Luo, she will definitely be very outstanding in the future.

No no, Director Li is exaggerating.

Some of the old masters knew that Xu Jisi's company was being suppressed, but they did not know whether or not they should extend a helping hand because they could not clearly see the future of the Xu family. However, now that he was engaged to the Luo family, the Luo family would definitely not sit idly by.

With the Luo Family's support, the Xu would probably be able to turn the tide. They had hurried over to inform Xu Jisi of their intentions. If they were to help the Xu family now, and even win the Luo family's goodwill, why not?

Xu Jisi knew that he had achieved his goal for today. Some of the enterprises that were just watching, all expressed their intentions to cooperate with him.

Xu Jisi had been waiting for Lu Junhao to show off in front of him, but he did not see him for a long time. Thinking that he wouldn't come, he sneered in his heart. What Young Master Lu, isn't he unable to afford to lose?

Just as he was about to turn around, Lu Junhao walked in. He was wearing his usual suit, his hair was neatly combed, and he looked noble and handsome. The moment he entered, he took away everyone's gazes. He was truly the fifth brother of the diamond king. How many people wanted to marry him? Some of the young mistresses in the hall even blushed when they saw him.

Xu Jisi was extremely angry. He should be the focus of this match today, every single time he came, no one would be able to see him, and would steal everyone's attention.

Xu Jisi walked over and smiled at Lu Junhao.

Master Lu, you have come. It seems that my servant has already delivered the items to you.

That's right, Xu Tun was so diligent in making this invitation card, of course I would come. Otherwise, wouldn't I have failed Xu Tun's good intentions?

It's good that Master Lu is here, it's better that Xiao Luo and I thank you. After all, you were the one who saved Xiao Luo, which is why I was able to continue the relationship with Xiao Luo.

This is between Xiao Luo and me, it is her who has come to thank me, this has nothing to do with you. "Su Yun said in a low voice.

Looking at what Master Lu said, I am betrothed to Xiao Luo, what she is is my problem, it is only right that I thank his on her behalf.

Xu Tun knows that you are only engaged right now and not getting married. Wait until you are getting married before saying these words to me.

Lu Junhao, what do you mean by that?

No one knows what will happen in the future. Aren't you afraid of losing face in the future by coming here so complacent?

Lu Junhao, you …

Oh, right, today is a great day for Xu Tun to get engaged, you shouldn't say such words, I am truly sorry, Xu Tun.

Lu Junhao, you must be jealous. In the end, Xiao Luo still chose to be with me.

Xu Tun can think whatever he wants. Look, another customer is coming over, are you sure Xu Tun won't go over to entertain his?

Jealous of him? Who gave him that confidence? Lu Junhao snorted. Was he worth his jealousy? In the future, he would definitely regret it.

Lu Junhao didn't want to have any conflicts with him, but Xu Jisi always came to provoke him in this way. Although he didn't want to ruin Luo Qingyu's plan, if this kind of person didn't try to beat him up properly, he would never understand. You think the world revolves around him? He really didn't know the meaning of the word.

The reason why she told him these words today was also to remind him that it was best to treat Luo Qingyu well, otherwise, no one would know what would happen in the future. Since he had already let Luo Qingyu do this, he would definitely protect her well and not let her be harmed. This was what he could do for her.

CHAPTER 203

Luo Qingyu was still putting on makeup inside the hall, and did not know that Xu Jisi and Lu Junhao had already started fighting. She was exhausted, she closed his eyes, wanting to rest well, if not he would lose his spirit on the Engagement party later.

Miss Lowe, your makeup has been applied. Are you satisfied?

Luo Qingyu opened his eyes. The makeup artist that Xu Jisi had invited was not bad. Although he had used makeup on, he didn't feel like it at all, as if she had been this way since birth. She closed her eyes again. Even if it wasn't good, she didn't want to go through with it.

Yes, very good.

Now that everything was ready, she just needed to go down.

Xiao Luo, how is it? Is your makeup done?

When Luo Qingyu heard Xu Jisi's voice, he opened his eyes.

It's just finished, take a look.

Xu Jisi looked at it for a few moments, and was extremely satisfied. Today, she was like a pearl, his entire body was shining with light, making people unable to look at her.

Yes, very beautiful. Let's go down.

Alright.

The two of them walked down hand in hand.

makeup artist at the side was truly dumbstruck. Wasn't Miss Luo's change in attitude a little too fast? Just a moment ago, she had looked so noble and elegant, but now, she had lost interest in everything. Now, she was suddenly so happy with her smile, and her change in expression was too quick. However, this also meant that the relationship between Miss Lowe and Mr. Xu was very good. Otherwise, why would she be so happy?

Luofu had already left when she was halfway done with her makeup. He also wanted to have a good rest.

Luo Qingyu held Xu Jisi's hand and walked down the stairs. She had a smile hanging on his face, and was wearing a moon-white dress. Under the illumination of the lights in the hotel, his whole person was covered in a layer of faint white light, causing people to involuntarily think of the cold moonlight. It was so pure and white.

Her appearance shocked many people, and everyone was praising Luo Qingyu as a fairy. Xu Jisi was very pleased with himself as he listened to their praise. He felt that being able to marry Xiao Luo was truly a blessing in this life of his.

Xu Jisi wandered amidst the praises of others, feeling extremely happy in his heart. Although the past few days had been tough, for this moment, no matter how hard it had been, it was worth it. He looked towards Lu Junhao, and saw that Lu Junhao was also looking at them, staring straight at Luo Qingyu, and Xu Jisi was very unhappy.

He gave him a provocative look, but Lu Junhao ignored him. Xu Jisi's eyes rolled around, and used his hand to hold onto Luo Qingyu's hand. His face quietly approached her, and the distance between the two of them suddenly shortened, as he lightly whispered into Luo Qingyu's ear: Xiao Luo, you're really beautiful today.

She felt very disgusted when his breath was all on Luo Qingyu's ears, but she couldn't help but to push him away when the situation was right in front of her. When she heard him say that, she pretended to be very shy and gently pushed him away. The two of them kept a distance, so she didn't feel so disgusted anymore.

Xu Jisi thought that she was just shy and did not approach her anymore. He looked at Lu Junhao, provocatively giving him a look.

Lu Junhao was originally holding a glass of red wine, but when he saw how intimate he was with Xu Jisi, the hand holding the wine cup tightened, as if they were going to break into pieces. He looked at Xu Jisi's provocative eyes and smiled faintly. He then picked up the cup and made a gesture of toast in Xu Jisi's direction, after which he finished all the contents of the cup in one gulp.

Xu Jisi naturally did not know of Lu Junhao's action of pinching the wine cup, but seeing Lu Junhao's unmoved expression, he did not feel any pleasure from revenge. Why was Lu Junhao so stubborn, that he could not make lower his head at all? There was a reason why Xu Jisi hated Lu Junhao.

After Luo Qingyu came down, she had always been entertaining guests. Finally, when everyone had dispersed, she was very tired, and wanted to find a place with no one to have a good rest. She went upstairs, looking for a quiet place.

When Lu Junhao was surrounded by a large group of people, he did not go up, but instead silently observed Luo Qingyu from the start. He saw Xu Jisi go to other places with others, and probably had some very important business to discuss. Lu Junhao sneered. Then, he saw her surrounded in the middle, all by himself, with a fake smile. When everyone had left, she went upstairs alone. He was probably tired and wanted to find a place to rest.

Lu Junhao drank all of the red wine in his hands in one gulp, put down the cup, then chased after her. Furthermore, he should be interested in the interest during Xu Jisi's provocation, right? Furthermore, she had never seen him today, not even giving him a glance. This made him very unhappy.

Luo Qingyu found a empty room, closed the door and sat on the sofa, preparing to have a good rest. He closed his eyes and rubbed his temples with his hands, trying to make himself feel better.

Suddenly she found that the other hand had replaced her hand and was massaging her. She was shocked. Who was it that she couldn't detect coming in?

She suddenly opened her eyes and turned around, only to see Lu Junhao. She was relieved to see it was him.

Why are you here?

Luo Qingyu originally wanted to ask why he had appeared on her Engagement party. In the end, Lu Junhao understood why he came to this room.

I was very tired when I saw you coming up, so I came up as well.

Luo Qingyu knew that he had misunderstood.

Xu Jisi invited you? He's such a good guy, he wants to show off in front of you.

Luo Qingyu had probably guessed why Xu Jisi had invited him here, probably because he had always been envious of Lu Junhao and wanted to get back at him. Hmph, anyone could tell how much he felt in his heart.

Yeah, he even specially made a special invitation for me.

Lu Junhao took out his invitation and showed it to Luo Qingyu. Luo Qingyu took it and looked at it as he coldly laughed in his heart.

Is he trying to make you angry? Such a lowly trick, how could you fall for it?

Of course I won't be angry, but since he invited me like this, of course I have to come and congratulate him. Otherwise, I'm very sorry, but did he make me a unique invitation?

The two words that Lu Junhao said to congratulate his were very heavy, and had a hint of gnashing of teeth.

He's been jealous of you for more than a day or two. I can imagine what he's doing, but right now I'm only engaged to him, so it's unclear what will happen in the future. For him to dare provoke you like this, does he have a plan in mind? You think you can marry me and take control of the Luo family? "

However, Lu Junhao did not care what she said. He only heard the words He's jealous of you for a day or two. For some reason, when he heard her words, he felt very happy.

Are you listening to me?

Luo Qingyu was a little angry when he saw that Yue Yang did not respond to him. He was the one who called her over, but she didn't listen when she talked to him.

Who asked me to be so outstanding? That's why so many people are jealous of me. This is a common occurrence. I don't care at all.

Lu Junhao said proudly. Luo Qingyu shot a glance at him. He had really never seen such a narcissistic person before, so she didn't have any idea what to do. However, he had to admit that his current appearance was quite handsome. It brought out all of the advantages he possessed. Luo Qingyu shifted his eyes away and did not look at him.

You must be tired today. I'll give you a massage. Being able to get my Young Master Lu to give you a massage, you really got lucky after a hundred years.

Lu Junhao kept pressing his hands the whole time, and Luo Qingyu felt very comfortable. He originally wanted to refute his words, but he swallowed them all in one go, it was quite comfortable anyway. As for his narcissism, she ignored it and closed her eyes once again.

Seeing that she was enjoying himself with his eyes closed, Lu Junhao was also very happy in his heart. After pressing her down for a long time, his hands started to feel sore, so she asked him to stop.

Luo Qingyu stood up and stretched his back, moving his legs, feeling that he had recovered enough, he turned to Lu Junhao and asked: Why did you come up?

I saw you coming up, so I came up.

Let's go down. We're still my Engagement party today, it's not good for me to disappear for too long.

You don't really want to be engaged to him anyway, why are you still so concerned about the Engagement party? Besides, even if you go down now, he still won't be able to notice you, because he's trying his best to build a good relationship with the boss who came today and pave the way for his Xu family. He won't have time to take care of you."

He's a good schemer. If that's the case, even if he doesn't need the Luo Family's help, he can make the Xu stand up. These old bosses will also be able to see the situation unfold. Now that Xu Jisi has become the son-in-law of the Luo Family, the Xu Family will soon receive an infusion of capital from many businesses, right?

Perhaps so, but even if the Xu has the capital to invest, they might not be able to be saved.

That's right. I hope the company that suppressed the Xu family will hurry up. It's best if the Xu family goes bankrupt. I really can't stand Xu Jisi's face, it's so disgusting. "

I'm afraid it won't be that fast now. Now that the Xu Family has the capital to invest in these enterprises, it won't be that easy to destroy the Xu Family in one fell swoop. I wonder, when the Xu family goes bankrupt, what will the expressions of these old people who invested in the capital be like?"

Business has always been filled with risks, and since they chose the Xu Family and that over there, then they should pay a little price for their choice. It should be good for them to receive a lesson, so that they can brighten up and see clearly in the future. It's not that the person who has gained the upper hand right now cannot wait to charge up.

You're right. It looks like you've really learned a lot after taking charge of Madame Luo for so long.

This is my Inherent skill.

You're so brilliant just because I gave you some sunshine?

It's a joke. I only learned a little right now. If I want to stay in the mall, I need to learn a lot. I want to help dad manage Hao's company, so I don't want him to worry about the company anymore. It's just that I still need to train more right now."

If there's anything you don't understand, or can't solve, you can come and ask me.

Mm. Alright.

Luo Qingyu agreed on the surface, but in his heart,he would definitely not ask him for advice. If there was anything she wanted to ask Luofu, she could just ask, and would not especially need to ask Lu Junhao. Moreover, she didn't understand the current relationship between the two of them, so she definitely wouldn't take the initiative to look for him. However, it wasn't good to refuse his kind intentions, so she could only agree on the surface. If he didn't do it when the time came, he wouldn't know.

Lu Junhao was just happy that she accepted his suggestion. Other than that, he really did not think much into it.

CHAPTER 204

After the two finished talking, Luo Qingyu suddenly realized that the two of them were speaking normally once again. In the past, the two of them had been arguing ever since they had started talking, especially Lu Junhao, who either questioned her or suspected her. Now, they could actually quietly discuss Xu Jisi's problem. Luo Qingyu was shocked by this discovery as she suddenly looked at Lu Junhao.

Lu Junhao felt that it was strange that she was looking at him like that. He didn't know why he was suddenly looking at him like that.

Xiao Luo, what's wrong?

With such a tone, Luo Qingyu felt that the person standing in front of her was possibly the fake Lu Junhao. Aren't we going to argue as soon as we meet? What was going on with him that was so normal right now?

I'm fine.

She didn't feel anything special about seeing him. It was probably just that she was overthinking things. However, it was a novel experience to be able to discuss things with him like this.

Alright, we've been up here for a long time. It's time for me to go down.

Luo Qingyu acted as if he wanted to leave. He had finished what he needed to say, and there was nothing else he could say. Staying here would only increase their awkwardness, so it would be better for them to leave.

Wait, Xiao Luo, you definitely haven't eaten, right? When you came up earlier, I brought a bit of food over for you, since you dealt with so many people just now, you must be hungry too, so you should eat first before leaving.

Lu Junhao pulled her and pointed to the small cake on the table.

Originally, Luo Qingyu could not eat his things and stay here for so long to be suspected by others. However, she still mysteriously stopped in his tracks, and didn't want to waste his good intentions. Forget it, he had already stayed here for so long anyways, but Xu Jisi still hadn't come to look for her. It didn't matter if she ate something before leaving. She sat down again.

Seeing that she had stopped, Lu Junhao was very happy in his heart. At least right now, it was normal for the two of them to get along with each other. In the past, most of them had been quarrelling, but now, although she was still very cold towards him, she was able to listen to some of the things he said.

He placed the cake in her hand, watched as she gently picked up the fork, and placed a small piece of it into his mouth. Only then did Lu Junhao realize that he knew very little about her, and didn't even know what she liked to eat.

Lu Junhao felt very guilty. He said that he liked her, but he didn't understand her at all. Perhaps what she said in the past was right, the reason why he liked her was only because of the Luo Qingyu from the past and his possessiveness.

Now that he had realized his mistake, he would try his best to correct it.

It was just that when he saw Xu Jisi being so close to her, he felt extremely displeased.

Xiao Luo, what did you say to Xu Jisi just now?

When?

Even when he was very close to you, I saw that he was about to kiss you. Although you don't really want to marry him, the two of you still have to keep some distance.

Luo Qingyu sneered, a dog really couldn't stop itself from eating shit. Initially, he thought that the other party had changed. He didn't expect that the other party would still be so possessive. She was not an object. She had her own thoughts and actions. She could decide for herself what to do and what not to do.

Even if I don't really want to get close to him, he's still my fiancé on the surface. How do you expect me to keep my distance from him? So far away that no one would be able to tell I hate him?

She stopped eating and put her fork and cake on the table.

But don't you hate him? Why was she so close to him? Furthermore, ever since I came here, I have been looking at you, yet you have not even glanced at me. In your eyes, do I really not feel like I exist anymore?

Are you making trouble for no reason? I did not even interfere in the matter of the invitation, how would I know which people Xu Jisi invited? I was even surprised when you suddenly came over today.

Even if you didn't know I would come at the beginning, what about after you came out? You were just whispering in Xu Jisi's ears the entire time, you didn't even notice that I was looking at you.

Lu Junhao was very angry. Initially, he came here to ask her about this, but because he saw that she was too tired, he helped her massage to ease her pain. He had wanted to talk to her, but she was unaware of his mistake.

Lu Junhao, what law says that if you look at me, I have to look at you? It's really incomprehensible.

Lu Junhao not crazy, right? Did he think she had to look at him because he was looking at her? She had his own things to do, so how could she keep an eye on him? How could he be distracted and look elsewhere? There were so many people surrounding her just now, so many people who needed to be socialized. How could he look elsewhere?

You said that you got close to Xu Jisi just to search for evidence. You said that you really hated Xu Jisi, but judging from your performance, you didn't hate him at all. You're so close to him, almost kissing him, do you think I'm blind?

Lu Junhao, whether I like Xu Jisi or not has nothing to do with you. It has nothing to do with who I'm with and who I'm about to kiss.

Luo Qingyu only felt that his head hurt from being angered by Yue Yang, and didn't want to continue quarreling with him.

Xiao Luo, who said it doesn't matter, who said it doesn't matter?

Lu Junhao was very angry, to the point that he did not think of what he was doing at all. He grabbed her and pressed his hands hard on her shoulders. Luo Qingyu wanted to struggle free, but Lu Junhao's strength was way too much for her, so she had no way of escaping his restraints.

After Lu Junhao held her down, he glared at her with reddened eyes, like a wild beast.

What are you doing? Lu Junhao, let go of me! "

Let go? Since you are so close to Xu Jisi, why can't you be closer to me? Xiao Luo, I love you.

After saying that, without waiting for Luo Qingyu to speak, he kissed her.

At first, Luo Qingyu was too shocked to resist, but after he regained his senses, he began to struggle madly. It was unknown if it was because her instantaneous explosive strength was strong, or because Lu Junhao had relaxed his force because of the kiss, she was actually able to struggle free in an instant.

Pa! She ruthlessly slapped him.

This slap was very heavy. She used her greatest strength and viciously hit him on the face.

Lu Junhao, do you know who I am? I am not the Luo Qingyu from before, I am not her double, I am myself.

Luo Qingyu said loudly, and Lu Junhao's face that was pushed to the side slowly turned over, with a confused look in his eyes. Who was he looking at? Who was it that wanted to kiss?

Xiao Luo, I …

Lu Junhao, when you kissed me just now, you weren't thinking about me, right? You've always been like this, always using me as a substitute. Do you know how much I hate you?

I …

Lu Junhao only spat out a single word before being unable to speak again, because he knew clearly that when he kissed his, although his mind was not clear, what appeared in his mind was indeed the smile of the past Luo Qingyu. Thus, it was only right for her to slap him.

We are partners, not substitutes for Luo Qingyu, and not chess pieces that you can use to avenge her. I hate your jealousy, your possessiveness.

Lu Junhao's face started to ache from the hit, her questions kept ringing in his ears, he no longer knew what she wanted. Initially, he thought he liked the current her, but what about the Luo Qingyu that suddenly appeared in his mind? He had no idea.

Xiao Luo, I'm sorry, I …

Don't call me Xiao Luo, I don't want to hear that name.

The Xiao Luo he mentioned just now was definitely not calling her, and the moment she heard this name, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

Alright, I understand.

Lu Junhao, I hate you.

After that, she wanted to leave, but Lu Junhao held her hand.

I'm sorry, I was wrong. I was so angry that my mind wasn't clear. I'm sorry, what happened just now was an accident. I will think it through properly. I really don't have any intentions of using you as a substitute right now. I've done so many wrong things, I'll make it up to you from now on.

No need.

With that, Luo Qingyu shook off his hand and walked out.

She had been excited by their ability to talk normally, expecting things to get better between them, and secretly pleased and annoyed at some of his actions.

She felt like a fool.

Luo Qingyu walked out of that room and entered another empty room. She was currently not in a good mood, and needed to properly adjust her mood to go down. Otherwise, he would definitely be seen through.

Lu Junhao said again and again that he liked her and didn't see her as a substitute. She almost believed him. But reality? Was he really just speaking? Was he not treating her as a substitute? Perhaps, he really did like her from the past, and wanting to forget wasn't something that could be done in a day or two. However, she was truly unable to accept it.

Maybe she needed some time to think. With the passing of time, today's matters would gradually be forgotten by her. Just forget it, she said to herself silently.

She walked over to the mirror and looked at herself in it. Due to her previous outburst, she was now a little haggard. She couldn't keep walking like this. She took out some makeup from her bag and fixed it for herself. If he disappeared for so long, it would arouse the suspicion of others as well.

She gave Luofu a call informing him of her location. She hoped that Luofu could come up to look for her, and he immediately agreed.

She sat down on the sofa and gradually calmed down. Lu Junhao saw her as his substitute. Didn't he already know about this a long time ago? There was no need for her to be so angry. Just thinking about it made her really stop being angry.

Xiao Luo, why are you here?

Luofu pushed open the door and interrupted her train of thoughts.

Father, because I was too tired from the social meetup just now, I rested here and accidentally fell asleep. I was afraid that Xu Jisi would come over later to find me, so I asked you to come up and help me cover me.

Luofu did not look like she had fallen asleep, there were probably some things that she could not tell him. Luofu did not ask any further and only said one sentence.

However, Luo Qingyu still did not cry. Since Luofu understood her so well, she should be happy, why would he cry in front of him?

Father, let's sit here for a while longer. Let's sit at Xu Jisi's place and find us.

Alright.

CHAPTER 205

Luo Qingyu had completely put aside what happened just now. Recently, she had been thinking, why did he start arguing with Lu Junhao the moment they met? Maybe she should try to understand him a little more. If they understood each other, everything would be fine. He knew that she liked Lu Junhao, and Lu Junhao probably liked her as well. It's just that he still couldn't differentiate her from the Luo Qingyu from the Luo Qingyu from before.

Xiao Luo, what do we do tonight? You really want to sleep in the same room as Xu Jisi?

Luofu asked the question he was most worried about. He was really afraid that she would be bullied.

Don't worry, dad, he won't be able to touch me. I have a way to make him not be able to touch me, even if I get close to him I'll feel disgusted. Wouldn't it be disgusting if I slept in the same room as him?

Seeing her so serious, the Luofu was completely at ease.

I'll be in the room next to yours. If you can't handle it, then shout out. I can go in and save you.

Luo Qingyu laughed. His dad was thinking too much, she had a special ability, how could he be afraid of Xu Jisi?

Her father was doing this for her own good, so of course she wouldn't refuse.

Thank you, father. With your support, I am able to walk down this path with determination.

What are you thanking Daddy for? Just keep going, and Daddy will be your strongest support. "

Dad, what do you think happened to love? She was clearly very disappointed with him, but she still couldn't forget about him. She kept on thinking about him, wanting to find an excuse for him."

This was the first time she brought up the issue of love in front of him. Luofu smiled.

Xiao Luo, feelings are a very complicated thing, sometimes it is like this. You know clearly that what he did was wrong and you swore to never forgive him again. When you turn around, you will realize that as long as he gives you a little benefit, you will forget all your previous disagreements. But there are some things that can be forgiven, but there are some things that cannot be forgiven. You need to have your own principles and bottom line. If you don't even have your principles, then this relationship won't last."

The two of them walked from being strangers to becoming familiar with each other. It's not easy walking together, so it's normal for them to have some friction. But, you have to judge whether he is the person you want to catch for the rest of your life, is he more advantageous or more lacking? Only when both of them understand each other will they be able to keep going, do you understand?

Luofu said a lot of things, and she knew all of them, but who could actually do it? She had her insistence, he had his pride, and that was why they were always like this.

Luo Qingyu thought back carefully, Lu Junhao had indeed changed a lot recently. He had been slowly changing ever since the last time she'd seen that smile that had made her flustered. Today was the same. If it was any other time, he would have pulled her along to argue with her. However, he actually helped her massage his hair. Afraid that she was hungry, he even intentionally brought out food for her to eat.

There was something wrong with her state today, so she ignored all of these things. She only knew that Lu Junhao had said that she was very close to Xu Jisi, and because she didn't want him to do it on her own accord, she felt that he was causing trouble for no reason. But then he thought, didn't this also mean that he valued her? He had been staring at her at the party, but she had never seen him. Was she wrong?

Luo Qingyu sighed, not knowing what to do. Seeing her anxious expression, Luofu did not say another word. There were some things that he had to think about carefully and he had no way of interfering.

Dad, I know, I'm probably wrong, right?

Xiao Luo, it's good that you have thought it through. If you have any misunderstandings, they must be resolved immediately, otherwise it will be too late when we regret it later.

Mm, alright, I understand.

On this side, Xu Ji was extremely anxious. After he finished talking to the elders, he realized that Lu Junhao and the others were both gone. He was very anxious as he searched everywhere for Luo Qingyu.

It was only until she opened the door of one of the rooms that she found out that she was chatting with Luofu, and the heavy burden in her heart was finally lifted.

Xiao Luo, uncle, you guys are here. I've been looking for you for a long time.

When Luo Qingyu saw him push open the door, he secretly rejoiced that he had called Luofu over. Otherwise, if he saw that he was in this room and couldn't find Lu Junhao, he would definitely suspect the two of them.

Ji Si, what's wrong? I just felt a little tired so I came up to rest. I didn't expect dad to be here too. "

Xiao Luo, there's nothing wrong, it's just that I didn't see you and uncle, so I'm a little worried. You guys can continue to rest after you're tired. Just leave the guests downstairs to me.

Xu Jisi naturally wanted to show off his skills in front of the Luofu, so he took all of the guests with him. Luofu and Luo Qingyu naturally did not mind, as they had saved him a lot of trouble.

Even though she thought that in her heart, since she was her Engagement party today, it would be impolite of her not to show herself, and she would also let the guests think that their relationship was actually not that good, right? There would also be a knot in Xu Jisi's heart, so she and Luofu would still go down after a short rest.

Luo Qingyu wanted to see if Lu Junhao had left, but he couldn't find anyone else. She felt a little disappointed. He should have left in anger, right? After he mustered up his spirit and sent all the guests away with Xu Jisi, she sent Luofu to his room, and only then did he and Xu Jisi return to her own room.

Because today was an engagement date, the room was decorated beautifully. Orange lights, bright red beds and quilts, with roses arranged in a large heart. Everything in the room was in pairs, they were either pink or bright red. Luo Qingyu felt that it was a little bright, and his eyes were all blurry.

There was a large window in the room that overlooked the entire city from the top of the window. Luo Qingyu stood in front of the window in a daze, staring at the city's neon lights.

Do you like it?

Seeing that she had been staring outside the whole time, Xu Jisi couldn't help but walk over as well. He gently wrapped his arms around her waist and looked down with her.

Luo Qingyu's entire body had stiffened when he stretched out his hand, but he immediately relaxed, not letting him notice anything amiss.

I really like it. Thank you, Ji Si.

It's good that you like it, then I'll be happy.

Ji Si, it was really hard on you today. Father and I woke up early today, so we didn't have much energy for a day and didn't help you much.

Xiao Luo, it's good that you have this kind of heart, I just hope that you can stand by my side. Leave the rest to me.

Looking at their infatuated eyes, Xu Jisi felt a sense of accomplishment. Everyone wanted to catch up to the Luo Family, as such a beautiful Luo Family's daughter now only belonged to him, and this feeling could make him feel proud for a long time.

Ji Si, you are so kind.

I just want you to be happy.

Luo Qingyu sneered, these were definitely not the words from his heart. In his heart, he should be saying that he only wanted the Luo clan in his hands.

Ji Si, I have something to tell you.

Just tell me what it is.

It's like this. When Dad and I were resting upstairs today, he really couldn't bear to part with me. I thought about how my dad had just been discharged from the hospital and had not fully recovered, so I wanted to stay with him for a while longer. How about we actually get married and move into your house to live with you?

Not much, Xu Ji didn't think that she would want to say this, but it was true, Cheng Xiaowei was still secretly meeting up with him, if she were to stay inside, it was inevitable that she would discover something. Since she wanted to stay at home, she might as well stay there for a long time.

Uncle Luo's health is indeed not good. Fine, I also hope that you can stay at home and take care of uncle. Wait until after we officially marry.

Luo Qingyu looked very happy.

"Ji Si, thank
