Yun Ni didn’t notice it either. She told Lu Ang to hurry to work so that he wouldn’t be late.

As soon as Lu Ang left, Wei Chengcheng pulled Yun Ni and turned around to run. Those who didn’t know would think that a ghost was trying to kill them.

“What’s wrong with you? Are you nervous because you have an interview?” Yun Ni asked, puzzled.

“His face…” Wei Chengcheng looked terrified.

“Haven’t you heard that his face is abnormal?” Yun Ni was even more confused.

“I’ve heard of it, but I’ve never seen him personally! Yun Ni, listen to me. You can’t risk your whole life for the Yun family! You’re only 18 years old, and your life has just begun. How can you live with such a person for the rest of your life? You’re so good-looking and have a good figure. You have a long future ahead of you!” Wei Chengcheng’s face was a little pale. She never thought that Lu Ang’s face would be so scary.

“It’s just normal life. Besides, Lu Ang is not like the rumors. He treats me very kindly! Everything is good except for his face.” Yun Ni said calmly without any complaints.

“Why is he good?” Wei Chengcheng was extremely surprised. She could not understand why Yun Ni wasn’t scared.

“My father arranged for me to marry someone else, and Lu Ang was my best choice! Moreover, Lu Ang gave me a chance, and I chose him. He’s not as scary as the rumors say, and I’m used to seeing his face, so it’s nothing much. I also believe that Lu Ang will treat me well. After all, he won’t have another woman. They’re all afraid of him, so I won’t have to trouble myself. It’s all good.”

Yun Ni said it plainly, but Wei Chengcheng’s heart ached.

Although Yun Ni was young and didn’t have much social experience, she was born into a terrible family. Her life was filled with bitterness with a selfish father, a mean stepmother, and a bullying sister.

It was perfect for her to leave the Yun family, even if it was with Lu Ang.

“Aren’t you afraid that you’ll regret it in the future?” Wei Chengcheng looked at her.

“There’s nothing to regret. One should be content.”

Time eventually passed.

Yun Ni got into Jock’s car after school that night. Just as she was about to ask why Lu Ang didn’t come today, Jock answered, “Third Master had a business meeting and couldn’t pick you up in time, so he asked me to come first.”

Yun Ni smiled and said, “Actually, you don’t have to pick me up. I’m fine now. I can take a taxi.”

How would Jock dare to do that? Third Master had personally instructed him to fetch Yun Ni.

“View this as a token of Third Master’s goodwill. He is very concerned about you.”

Yun Ni was helpless and did not say anything more. However, since there were only two of them in the car, she could not help but ask a question.

“Jock… do you know what happened to Lu Ang’s face? In the past, I thought it was natural like the rumors said, but now that I look at it, it looks like… a burn?”

“That…” Jock did not expect Yun Ni to ask this question and hesitated.

Yun Ni understood his dilemma and quickly said, “You don’t have to answer if it’s inconvenient for you. I’ll find a chance to ask him in the future.”

“I’m afraid Third Master won’t be willing to tell. There’s nothing to hide. You’re Third Master’s fiancée, and you’ll find out sooner or later. Five years ago, the Third Master and Second Master encountered an explosion on a cruise ship. Second Master’s body was obliterated, whereas Third Master survived, but his face was injured.”

There were four siblings in the Lu family. Lu Ang had two biological brothers and one adopted sister.

Lu Ang and the Second Master were siblings of the same mother. They both passed away in the early years. The official report said that they died of natural causes. Hence no one would expect to hear that they died from an explosion.

Yun Ni was still in shock.

Jock continued, “Second Master’s death dealt a great blow to Third Master. He was depressed for a long time. No one in the Lu family dared to mention Second Master before him. If possible, I hope Miss Yun won’t mention it either.”

“I understand. Thank you,” Yun Ni said sincerely, with mixed feelings in her heart.

When she returned to the villa, she saw that Lu Ang had not returned yet. She thought of preparing some soup for him. In addition, after knowing about Lu Ang’s past, her heart ached. She prepared the soup and refused any help from others.

“Madam is good to the Third Master.”

Even before Yun Ni married into the family, the servants in the house had changed their way of addressing her. She was so embarrassed that she said, “I’m just afraid that he will come back and get drunk!”

The girl waited until she was drowsy. Finally, Lu Ang came back.

Yun Ni heard his voice and hurried to welcome him. She felt like she had been waiting forever. However, when she went out, she saw an old man standing outside.
