Hearing his words made Ye Guanguan blush in a sudden. She slightly touched her cheeks and then pressed her forehead against Lu Jinting’s chest.
“Darling,” said Ye Guanguan in a soft voice.
Seeing Ye Guanguan leaning on his chest shyly, Lu Jinting suddenly recalled before when the little woman tried hard to avoid him and even regarded him as a terrifying demon. Then he gradually got lost in his thought.
What had she been scared about before? Why did she fall in love with him so unexpectedly now? Was it because that she was drugged and happened to get on his bed rather than any others’?
“If nothing happened that night, will you still be willing to marry me?” questioned Lu Jinting, his eyes fixed on the girl.
Lu Jinting was always pretty confident about everything he had ever faced. However, Ye Guanguan brought him nothing but confusion and dreamy unreality. He had not been accustomed to the fact that the girl, who firmly held a cold attitude towards him before, suddenly took the initiative to approach him and behaved so passionately.
Ye Guanguan got stunned hearing his question, the smile freezing on her face.
If she got reborn a bit earlier than she was framed that night, or even earlier than she fell in love with Lu Mingye, would she be willing to marry the man who was standing in front her right now?
To be honest, Ye Guanguan couldn’t deny that she desired to part ways with Lu Mingye so much, which accounted for those crazy things she had done these days.
Ye Guanguan not only actively threw herself to Lu Jinting but said so many intimate words to him. Certainly, she would definitely refuse to say those words in the previous life as it was so shameful for her.
Did she do all these things because of true love? Or did she just want to make use of Lu Jinting to get far away from Lu Mingye? Ye Guanguan suddenly found that it had got pretty hard for her to read her own mind. And the silence between those two people made the atmosphere more embarrassing in just a short while.
Ye Guanguan got rid of Lu Jinting’s arms unconsciously. But her reaction didn’t annoy Lu Jinting at all and he even smiled slightly.
There was a smile on his face but no glimmer in his eyes. Ye Guanguan realized that he might be mad.
“I know it won’t be so soon,” said Lu Jinting.
“What?” asked Ye Guanguan cautiously.
“Nothing. Let’s go to the main hall.”
It would be truly strange if she told him that she fell in love with him in just a few days.
He just carried a torch with Ye Guanguan before. But now he received her response and had possessed her. Lu Jinting was sure that their little family would live a peaceful life in the days ahead and he would win Ye Guanguan’s heart sooner or later.
Lu Jinting simply kept silent, while Ye Guanguan’s mind got messy. She just felt that she made something wrong and what she could see at the moment was nothing but the calmness before a storm.
One of them was rather stressed but the other just got more relieved.
Lu Jinting and Ye Guanguan entered the main hall together and the meal had been prepared already. Since both Old Mr. Lu and Lu Jinting were soldiers, the family principles here were so strict that all tableware must be put in one direction.
Ye Guanguan had made up her mind to be a good wife, so she just followed Lu Jinting and behaved as decently as she could.
However, Lu Zhencong just disliked her and began making difficulties for her before Ye Guanguan took her seat.
“This way, please, ‘Miss Ye’. That seat has been taken,” said Lu Zhencong.
Ye Guanguan got a bit stunned. She had never been told that each member of the Lu family had their own seat here. Before she came to her mind, Ye Guanguan saw a beautiful girl come in.
The girl was so slim, slightly holding a sun umbrella in her hand. The unique nude pink knee-length dress made her look fantastic. Her long hair was put up in a ponytail, which the elder would be fond of. She looked pretty lovely and behaved more naturally than Ye Guanguan who just kept silent as an ostrich.
“You have come just at the right moment, Xinyi. We are going to have lunch.”
Seeing Qiao Xinyi come in, Lu Zhencong quickly changed his cold face into a gentle one.
Ye Guanguan knew the girl well. Qiao Xinyi was right the person who had been assigned to be Lu Jinting’s future wife since a young age. Though that girl only said that she was just a blind date of Lu Jinting, their two families had really good relations with each other.
In her previous life, Ye Guanguan cared nothing about the girl. She just thought that Qiao Xinyi was so mannered and always pretended to be weak, which made Ye Guanguan look down upon her.
But now it seemed that they were standing at the same arena and had no choice but to compete with each other in public.
What was worse, Lu Jinting’s father treated Qiao Xinyi so well and Old Mr. Lu just ignored Lu Zhencong’s cold attitude to Ye Guanguan. At the same time, Lu Jinting didn’t make any explanation to Ye Guanguan when he saw Qiao Xinyi come in.
Ye Guanguan gradually felt jealous in her heart and got pretty displeased. She strongly felt that Qiao Xinyi’s arrival directly put her into the shade.
“Uncle Lu, Grandfather Lu.” Qiao Xinyi walked to them graciously. Her beautiful eyes curved slightly when she turned to look at Lu Jinting. Then she called Lu Jinting shyly, “Brother Jinting.”
Ye Guanguan could sense her affection toward Lu Jinting even she didn’t take one look at that girl. Unfortunately, she only got to know that Qiao Xinyi was arranged to have a blind date with Lu Jinting before. In addition to this, she had no other information about that girl.
Why did she care nothing about Lu Jinting in her previous live?
Thinking about it made Ye Guanguan get madder and madder. But Lu Jinting just gave no reply. As she hadn’t sat down, the situation got embarrassing in a sudden. Seeing that Ye Guanguan was still standing there, Qiao Xinyi naturally greeted her and then directly seated herself beside Lu Jinting.
Qiao Xinyi tilted her head lovely and said in a cute tone, “Uncle Lu, why don’t you tell me there’s a guest in advance?”
Lu Zhencong seemed to be satisfied with her behaviour. He gave several nods and introduced, “She is… ”
“She is my wife, Ye Guanguan.”
Lu Jinting interrupted her directly without any hesitation. He stood up from his seat, passed by Qiao Xinyi and walked to Ye Guanguan to pull a chair for her before finally taking his seat beside her.
Ye Guanguan got instantly pacified seeing his series of behaviour. Ye Guanguan reached out her hand and held Lu Jinting’s under the table. As soon as she touched him, he gave her a response.
Naturally, Qiao Xinyi was ignored. However, Qiao Xinyi was a girl from a big family. It was true that she didn’t meet Lu Jinting so frequently, but she could freely come to his home whenever she liked.
She plucked up courage to sit beside him from her own initiative, which eventually disgraced herself.
Qiao Xinyi’s fair cheeks got a bit pinker because of rage. She had no choice but to hide her anger and behaved as if nothing had happened. She pretended not to be influenced by Ye Guanguan’s inferior identity and extended her hand to Ye Guanguan.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Qiao Xinyi.”
In Ye Guanguan’s eyes, “Qiao Xinyi”, was not just a name but also a label as Lu Jinting’s former blind date, which was now used by Qiao Xinyi to show off her status.
Ye Guanguan was not afraid too. Lu Jinting had always been her husband no matter it was in the pre-life or in this life.
“Ye Guanguan.”
Ye Guanguan slightly shook hands with Qiao Xinyi. And the moment she touched Qiao Xinyi’s hand, Ye Guanguan felt the strong aggressiveness inside this woman’s heart though Qiao Xinyi looked pretty peaceful. It was obvious that Qiao Xinyi had no opinion of her.
However, Qiao Xinyi was bound up in fetters of her own tenderness that she disguised at this moment.
Ye Guanguan lowered her head and smiled facing all this.
…
All dishes had been put on the table soon. Before she said something, a piece of fresh Basa Fish was put into her plate.
“You like it.” Lu Jinting’s voice sounded deep and charming.
Lu Jinting knew her preferences very well, and even sweetly removed the fish bones for her, which wouldn’t cost much effort of her tough.
Their intimate behavior made Qiao Xinyi envious. She was intended to see who Ye Guanguan was, but she just disgraced herself before her play began.
Ye Guanguan seemed to become the one who ate the most and Lu Jinting just kept nipping the dishes for her. To avoid leaving a bad impression on the elder that she was particular about food, Ye Guanguan finished all of them.
Old Mr. Lu had already lost his interest in the meal and left first. Afterwards, Lu Zhencong escaped from the embarrassing situation on the pretext of taking Qiao Xinyi to see painting and writing works.
For the time being, there was only Lu Jinting and furious Ye Guanguan sitting beside the table.
“Mister, you thought you were feeding a pig?”
