122: Chapter 117: Nanxi, Will You Marry Me?_1 122: Chapter 117: Nanxi, Will You Marry Me?_1 Dressed in his new clothes, Lu Qingtian was quite excited.
He talked non-stop all the way and this time, Lu Yinchu didnât stop him.
Nanxi thought, perhaps heâs in a good mood today!
After about twenty minutes of driving, they arrived at a standalone villa.
As the villa door opened, servants dressed appropriately welcomed them and the car drove in.
Nanxi looked out the car window at the villa.
How could she describe it?
It was as luxurious as where Lu Yinchu lived, if not three or four times largerâ¦
This was indeed the renowned Lu Family of H City!
Halfway there, the car suddenly stopped.
Lu Yinchu turned to Lu Qingtian in the back seat, âYou go in first and inform Mum and Grandpa.
Iâll give you a thousand if you make a swift exit.
If you do well, itâs doubled!â
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingtian immediately jumped out of the car, shouting to Nanxi, âGo get âem, sister-in-law!â and off he bounced.
Nanxi: ââ¦â
The inside of the car quieted down.
Lu Yinchu lit up a cigarette, then patted the passenger seat and said, âCome sit in the front!â
Nanxi thought he might have something else to remind her of, so she obediently got out of the car, opened the passenger side door and sat down.
âMr.
Lu, is there anything else?â
Lu Yinchu exhaled a ring of smoke.
His dark eyes and chiseled features were accentuated, making it a bit glaring to look at.
Nanxi averted her gaze.
Lu Yinchu spoke, âThereâs something else I forgot to mention last time; itâs about your future career plan.â
âOh.â Nanxi nodded.
âDo they really care about what I do in the future?â
Lu Yinchu shook his head, âNo, they wonât care about that at allâ¦â
He paused, then continued, âMy parents are very open-minded.
Especially my mother; she used to be a lawyer.
But after marrying my father, she quit her job and settled down to take care of us and my grandfatherâ¦â
Nanxi was startled, âAre you saying that the women who marry into the Lu family need to become housewives?â
Lu Yinchu glanced at her faintly, smiled, and said, âWhat are you afraid of?
Youâre not planning on marrying me, are you?â
âCough!â Nanxi choked, âAbsolutely not!
Thatâs not what I meant!â
Lu Yinchu gave a faint smile, âToday, my father is not around, so my mother is more focused on our relationship, when weâll get married, and when weâll have a childâ¦â
Our relationship?
Getting married?
Having aâ¦child?
Nanxi was stunned by these words.
Lu Yinchu stated, âAbout these matters, if you can manage, answer them according to the technique, if not, donât say anything, leave it to me!â
âWhat if youâre not around?â
Lu Yinchu looked at her.
The smoke curled around his eye corner giving him an evocative allure.
His lips lightly parted.
âNanxi, I do not think you are a foolish girl!â
But Iâm also not particularly brilliant!
Nanxi secretly grumbled.
Lu Yinchu added, âIn a nutshell, just be natural and casual, as ifâ¦
youâre really going to meet your future in-lawsâ¦
Nanxi, remember what I told you before.
You need to try to change yourself so that you can change your surroundings.
Todayâs a great opportunity to train yourself!â
Nanxi pressed her lips together.
His words made sense to her.
âThank you, Mr.
Lu!â
âDonât thank me!â
Lu Yinchu put out the half-smoked cigarette, took a deep breath and said softly, âNanxi, verbal thanks mean nothing to me.â
Nanxi faltered.
Verbal thanks mean nothing?
Does he expect a tangible thank you from her?
How so?
Nanxi was starting to feel awkward.
She truly felt that Lu Yinchu, though good in every aspect, couldnât change his businessmanâs nature of prioritizing profit and avoiding loss.
Of course, that could also depend on his mood.
For example, in this whole âpretending to be a coupleâ situation, Nanxi felt that Lu Yinchu was losing more than she was.
As Lu Yinchu was about to start the car, his cell phone suddenly rang.
It was a call from Lu Qingtian.
Lu Yinchu answered.
âBro, weâre in trouble!
I just went to the study to find Grandpa, and I found that my cousinâs wife is here today.
She seems to have upset Grandpa again.
I saw her with red eyes, she mustâve cried.
Mum just sent me here to tell you to stay in the car for a while with my sister-in-law.
Donât come in yet.
Mom said, itâs your first meeting, so it shouldnât be tooâ¦â
Lu Yinchu cut off the call, his gaze turning dark.
Nanxi looked at him worriedly, âWhatâs wrong?â
Lu Yinchu tapped his fingers on the steering wheel twice before saying, âNanxi, thereâs somethingâ¦
I need to tell you!â
Nanxi blinked, âGo ahead!â
âSo â¦â Lu Yinchu said, ââ¦I did some investigation into your background a while ago, and I have a general understanding of your family situation as well as your boyfriendâs family situationâ¦â
âYes, I know.
Youâve told me!â said Nanxi.
Lu Yinchu nodded, ââ¦I just found out a couple of days ago that my mother seems to know your future mother-in-law.
Apparently, they were classmates back in the day.â
Nanxi: ââ¦â
She stared blankly, not knowing quite how to react.
Classmates?
Lu Yinchuâs mother and Li Weihuanâs mother wereâ¦
classmates?
Nanxi initially was floored by this, but Lu Yinchu had another bombshell to drop.
Lu Yinchu revealed, ââ¦And it seems like your boyfriendâs motherâ¦
is currently in our living roomâ¦â
âCoughâ¦â Nanxi choked, flustered and asked, âWhatâ¦
what should we do now?
Drive away.
His mother knows what I look like.
As soon as she sees me, the jig is up!â
Lu Yinchuâs eyes passed over the scene before them, his thin lips moving, ââ¦Iâm afraidâ¦
itâs too late now!â
Following Lu Yinchuâs gaze, Nanxi saw two middle-aged women and a servant walking towards them, the women in front and the servant behind.
One woman was wearing a simple house dress, yet she exuded an impressive dignity as she walkedâ¦
The other woman was wearing a blue and gold cheongsam dress, her hair in an updo.
Her demeanor, way more refined and opulent compared to the lady next to her, made her seem intimidatingly regalâ¦
And this woman was Li Weihuanâs mother, Nanxiâs so-called future mother-in-lawâ¦Qi Qunâ¦
Nanxi didnât know how to react.
She subconsciously grabbed Lu Yinchuâs sleeve and anxiously asked, âWhat do we do now?
We need to go, sheâs walking over here, letâs goâ¦â
âDriving away now would only arouse more suspicion.
Plus, it would be incredibly rudeâ¦â
Finishing his sentence, Lu Yinchu put his hand over her small, warm hand and whispered, âDonât be scared, I have a planâ¦â
As Qi Qun and the others were getting closer, Nanxi felt like she was about to die on the spot!
If Qi Qun were to see her with Lu Yinchu, their lie would surely be exposed.
In which case, what would happen nextâ¦
Nanxi didnât dare to become the centre of attention.
âLuâ¦.â Nanxi began to call out, but before she could say anything aloud, she suddenly found herself engulfed by a heavy shadow, followed by a forceful pressure on her lips.
The overwhelming masculine scent enveloped herâ¦
