321 Everyday Engagemen (1/2)

Madam Lu placed a hand on her chest exclaiming in surprise, as if she would start jumping in glee any moment now while Master Lu looked like he was ready to kill the so-called closed off guy, who looked like he had said the most obvious of things.

As if engagements were a daily quota for him! He wasn't even serious enough to look humble to ask for their blessings, he looked smug like it was the most mundane thing to say to someone who you have just met!

The male of the Household had known his ways for long. He was a callous and rough man who took no bullsh*t, even if one was too foresee his shenanigans you couldn't help but see the match was too unbalanced to create an equilibrium.

The man was built like a barbarian and she was a twig that was fragile enough to break with the snap of his hand, neither in wealth nor in strength were they equal. When the honeymoon period fades, if there was a honeymoon period to begin with, such relationships with a superior and inferior partner hardly survived.

The only reason Master Lu had leaped for the Li Family was because they owed him years of immunity that he had granted them from the Government forces. They owed it to him and the contract would keep the marriage to last but this was shoving his daughter to an open cannon!

”Enough of this drama!” Master Lu snapped, he turned to Madam Lu and shouted, ”Take her inside!”

Madam Lu rolled her eyes at the dramatics of the old man and was about to retort some sense into him when someone beat her to it.

”No! Daddy I…I love him!” Lu Xinyi stammered as her cheeks tinted by making such a avowal in front of her father. But she stood her ground and held his arm as if they were going to drag her away.

Master Lu looked at her incredulously like she had grown another head, ”Since when? Last week?” His sarcasm paused her to blink several times.

It had been only about a month he had confessed to her and a week that she told him that she returned his feelings. So he was pretty much right…

But he made her heart race, his hugs were comforting, he listened to her rant about her rejected plots with a smile, he is always there for her every evening complimenting her cooking when he could be anywhere in the world eating professionally made cuisines, he appraised her painting and did gardening with her. He made her feel… special.

Like she was the only one in the room that was in his focus and the rest of the world was a suspended blur…

And she had known him for almost a year. He always stayed respectful to her and had been a friend before a prospect partner but wasn't it what a good partner would be like?

Furthermore, there was nobody else she knew that could ever replace him and there was nobody else that could ever be what he was for her.

What if it was only a week she had loved him for? Lu Xinyi the ever open book confirmed the words by her stupefied reactions causing another wave of gasps.

Her eyes widened seeing people take the wrong meaning of her bewilderment. Her shocked eyes at once turned to Yu Youhan who just smiled at her softly.

Her throat was clawed by her voice stuck in her throat. Her eyes welled up at the thought of this love of theirs ending in a tragedy because of her mistake.

She was desperate and pleading her father with her eyes as it trailed between the one who gave her life and the one who was her life.

Yu Youhan cupped her face and pecked her on her lips widening her eyes and the others at the table.

Master Lu looked about ready to jump him but Madam Lu held him by the arm, he was a flame away and would burst in flames and her brothers looked redder than she was. The only one who was blooming with pleasant smiles was Madam Lu.

They kissed a lot as he liked doing it and she found his kisses good too but in front of her family it was mortifying.

While she couldn't see it, every other person in the room could see his possessive declaration. It was his way of branding her.

”Go,” Recovering from her initial shock she looked like she wanted to argue but he shook her head and she closed her mouth and left to go to her room escorted by the Housemaid.

One glare was enough to send Lu Sheng and Lu Han on their way. Master Lu and Yu Youhan sat by each other glaring at each other.

The tension in the room by the former General and the Young tycoon was sizzling and could provide electricity to the damn cit. Madam Lu wanted to slid out of there on her hands and knees so they wouldn't notice her.
