The entire room went silent.
What’s going on?
What in the world is going on?!
For three years, Lu Chengwen had clung to Leng Qingqiu like a persistent nuisance, using every means to keep other men away from her, all to win her over.
And for those three years, Leng Qingqiu would explode whenever the engagement to Lu Chengwen was mentioned, acting as if she would rather die than agree.
But today, these two have swapped roles?
Lu Chengwen doesn't want to marry, but Leng Qingqiu has agreed?
Lu Chengwen has completely lost his mind!
He turned his head, staring at Leng Qingqiu in shock.
He thought to himself:
“Big sis, what are you doing? What in the world is agreeing to the engagement? Big sis, you’re Long Aotian’s harem! You’re supposed to lick Long Aotian’s shoes! If you do this, Long Aotian will surely kill me!”
“That guy meticulously approached you just to play the pig to eat the tiger, to show off at the crucial moment and make you and your family like him.”
“Then you’ll offer yourself to him, and your family’s assets will be his. You need to follow the script properly!”
Leng Qingqiu looked at Lu Chengwen and sneered.
You want to break off the engagement?
Did you ask me?
You’ve disgusted me for three years, and now you want to cut ties, and you’re convinced I’ll become a bodyguard’s harem.
Today, I’m going to disgust you!
I’d like to see how that Long Aotian manages to pull me into his harem!
Also, suddenly being able to hear Lu Chengwen’s inner monologue shocked Leng Qingqiu, and Lu Chengwen seemed to know many strange things.
Although she didn’t know what he was up to, for now, making it difficult for him to achieve any of his goals was definitely the best option.
The adults from both families began chatting enthusiastically, excitedly discussing how the two’s future wedding would be, how their life would unfold, and whose family would take care of the grandchildren…
Lu Chengwen pulled Leng Qingqiu aside and said urgently, “Qingqiu, are you not quite right in the head today?”
Leng Qingqiu snorted, “I think you’re the one who’s not quite right.”
Lu Chengwen tried to calm himself: “Alright, alright, we won’t argue. It’s just this engagement, we can’t go through with it, it has to be changed, really.”
Leng Qingqiu felt victorious.
For three years, she had been helpless against this scoundrel.
He was shameless, without dignity, just a persistent nuisance, and dared to use any despicable method.
She was truly about to be driven crazy by him.
Now, seeing him anxious, sweating profusely, and pacing around, Leng Qingqiu felt incredibly delighted.
This sis is going to control you, you scum!
Lu Chengwen: “Qingqiu, are you being pressured by the elders to… Think about it, am I annoying?”
“Annoying.”
“Hateful?”
“Hateful.”
“Disgusting?”
“Super disgusting.”
“Then do you still want to get engaged to me?”
“Yes.”
Lu Chengwen looked at her in shock, suddenly feeling as if he didn’t know this woman as well as he thought.
By this time, both families had finished their discussions and excitedly crowded around the two, leading them to the small garden.
Lu Chengwen’s mind was blank throughout.
Standing on the stage with Leng Qingqiu, he was still thinking:
“Isn’t this going to be a disaster! In a few minutes, Long Aotian will burst out, break my leg, and snatch Leng Qingqiu away.”
“So, this is a tribulation I can’t escape? Even if I know the direction of events, am I still powerless?”
“Leng Qingqiu is too abnormal! Doesn’t she hate me? What’s going on today?”
Leng Qingqiu narrowed her eyes, listening to Lu Chengwen’s thoughts, feeling even more shocked!
This guy, not only can I hear his thoughts, but he also “knows the direction of future events”?
Long Aotian… will he really step out to object?
The emcee was very excited: “Distinguished guests, I have been entrusted by the Lu and Leng families to announce a major piece of news today! Lu Shao Lu Chengwen and Leng family’s eldest daughter Leng Qingqiu will hold their engagement ceremony on the tenth of next month…”
“I object!”
At this moment, a security guard walked out from the crowd, none other than the true male lead of this book—Long Aotian.
The emcee glanced at him: “Someone, get this low-level security guard out of here!”
Lu Chengwen’s legs turned to jelly when he saw Long Aotian.
He couldn’t help but take a step back.
Leng Qingqiu looked at Lu Chengwen, feeling extremely shocked.
He really predicted it!
Long Aotian walked up to the emcee. The emcee tried to push him away, but Long Aotian threw him off the stage with one swift move.
Leng Qingqiu glared furiously: “Long Aotian, what are you doing?”
Long Aotian grabbed Leng Qingqiu’s shoulders with both hands: “Qingqiu, please rest assured, I will absolutely not allow anyone to force you. Your destiny should be in your own hands.”
Frankly, if things had gone according to the plot—Lu Chengwen being a persistent nuisance, the Lu family using their power to oppress, and her own parents willing to facilitate this marriage of convenience—then Long Aotian stepping forward at this moment would have made Leng Qingqiu very surprised and moved.
This security guard had shown exceptional skill and prowess in an accident a few days ago, which indeed made her look at him with new eyes.
That’s why she specifically took him under her wing, making him her personal bodyguard, and in the past few days, her impression of him had indeed been constantly refreshed and improved.
But with Lu Chengwen’s prior psychological groundwork, the whole flavor changed.
Leng Qingqiu now only felt that this guy had meticulously approached her, coveting her family’s wealth, insidious and disgusting, even more disgusting than Lu Chengwen!
Leng Qingqiu pushed his hands away: “Long Aotian, you are just my bodyguard. My family matters are none of your concern.”
“Qingqiu, I know your concerns. Don’t worry, with me here today, no one will force you into a marriage alliance.”
Lu Chengwen nodded.
“Of course, how amazing you are!”
“There should be many more righteous words, right? Go on, say it, no harm in speaking. As a War God, you must let everyone know you stand on the side of justice.”
“Please begin your performance!”
Long Aotian turned around, facing all the guests, and declared loudly:
“The dignified Four Great Families of Snow City, instead of operating and profiting through legitimate means, are actually resorting to sacrificing a girl’s happiness for a bond of interest! Do you still have any sense of shame? Do you truly care about Qingqiu’s happiness?”
Lu Chengwen clapped for Long Aotian from behind.
“Excellent! Qingqiu, it’s your turn, cry for me!”
“He’s said all this, it would be unreasonable for you not to be moved, really, cry!”
Leng Qingqiu looked at Lu Chengwen, her cold gaze reflecting the fire of anger from being humiliated.
Lu Chengwen saw Leng Qingqiu’s fierce eyes, awkwardly lowered his hands, and pretended to look elsewhere.
Long Aotian continued: “Uncle Leng, Auntie Leng, Qingqiu is your biological daughter. Do you really have the heart to push her into a pit of fire? What kind of person is Lu Chengwen? Everyone in Snow City knows, don’t they? Marrying your daughter to such a scoundrel, do you truly feel no heartache or regret?”
Leng Qingqiu angrily reprimanded: “Are my affairs for a bodyguard like you to manage? You’re fired! Now please leave here.”
Long Aotian was also stunned.
Eh!?
How… it seems… something’s not quite right?
Things shouldn’t be developing this way!
At this moment, the surrounding voices rose.
“Who is this person? Why is he so ill-mannered?”
“It’s a joyous occasion for their family, why is he causing trouble! He looks like a pervert, and with that demeanor, he still covets the Leng family’s eldest daughter?”
“Go take a look in the mirror, buddy!”
“Wow, this person’s demeanor looks so greasy!”
Lu Chengwen was extremely nervous.
“Why are you shouting so loudly? If the aggro gets too high, he’s going to make a move!”
“Everyone calm down!”
At this moment, a burly man from the Lu family rushed up and grabbed Long Aotian’s collar: “Kid, today is Lu Shao’s big day. Are you looking for trouble? See what this is! Have you ever seen a fist as big as a sandbag?”
Long Aotian sneered.
A mere mortal, I can take your life with just a flick of my finger.
Long Aotian closed his eyes and raised his head: My first battle to make a name for myself is about to begin!
Honor! Dignity! Beautiful women!
From this moment on—they are all mine!
Long Aotian took a deep breath, suddenly opened his eyes, and the King’s Aura enveloped his body: “Since you want to fight, then let me show you what it means for a War God to return! Today I will… Eh!?”
With a thud, the Big Guy in front of him disappeared.
He looked down and saw that the Big Guy had already been tackled and pinned to the ground by Lu Chengwen.
The Big Guy struggled to get up and fight Long Aotian, but Lu Chengwen held him down tightly, and the two rolled into a ball.
“Good brother! Calm down! Calm down!” Lu Chengwen quickly appeased him.
He had to appease him!
This was today’s first sacrifice to the protagonist. The protagonist would instantly defeat him, and then proceed to break his own leg.
Lu Chengwen did not want the protagonist to break his leg!
Lu Chengwen was almost crying: “Good brother, it’s not worth it, not worth it… for my sake…”
The guy instantly froze: “Lu Shao, you consider me a brother?”
Lu Chengwen had been struggling with him for a long time and was already tired. He gasped, “Yes, good brother, for life.”
The guy was moved to tears: “Lu Shao, with your status, you consider me a brother! Today I’ll help you, Lu Shao, take care of this kid!”
Long Aotian excitedly shouted: “Good! Come on! Make your move!”
Lu Chengwen held the guy down, gritting his teeth: “If you’re my brother, don’t move!”
Indeed, the guy instantly stopped moving.
Leng Qingqiu angrily shouted: “Long Aotian! Have you made enough of a scene? Get out! I told you to get out!”
Long Aotian was extremely shocked.
“Qingqiu, are the Lu family threatening you? Don’t worry, the mere Lu family is nothing but ants in my eyes.”
Leng Qingqiu was so frustrated she felt internal injuries.
These lines are too melodramatic, aren’t they?
“Long Aotian, you’ve been fired. You can collect three months’ salary. Now leave immediately. I don’t even want to say another word to you.”
Long Aotian “understood”.
Qingqiu, she’s being threatened by the Lu family. She doesn’t know I’m a War God returned, and she’s afraid I’ll be harmed by the Lu family’s power, so she’s deliberately pretending to break up with me, sacrificing herself to protect me!
How touching!
My woman truly has backbone!
Not just him, now even Lu Chengwen thought so.
He said, internally collapsing:
“Big sis! You don’t have to protect him like this, I’m very well-behaved, I definitely won’t cause you any trouble!”
“I beg you, just go with him, it’s best if I’m not in the future plot, I really can’t deal with you guys!”
Leng Qingqiu looked at Lu Chengwen, who was lying on the ground with a crying security guard pinned beneath him, and suddenly found him quite comical.
She had never found any good qualities in this person over the years, but today, his flustered and disheveled appearance, for some reason, made him seem quite comical and even a little cute.
Leng Qingqiu rarely laughed: “Chengwen, you can get up now.”
Long Aotian turned to look at Lu Chengwen, his eyes murderous.
Lu Chengwen was startled.
“Damn! No way! He can hate me for this too? I didn’t do anything!”
At this moment, a large group of bodyguards rushed over from afar.
“Brothers! Someone’s trying to steal Lu Shao’s woman! Get him!”
A group of people rushed over, carrying security batons.
Lu Chengwen was stunned.
He’s a War God!
You guys are just going to be experience points, don’t cause me more trouble!
If you guys get beaten up, my heroic spirit and chivalrous leg won’t be safe!
“Heavens! Earth! Is this dungeon really that hard to clear?!”
