Since the younger generation got engaged, the two families have become quite close.

But because Lu Tingchuan was often a trapeze artist in the past few years, it has only been a little better in the past two months...

I spent a lot of time in Anseong, so even though I was engaged for a long time, there were not many opportunities for both families to come together for dinner.

Lu Tingchuan and Xu Jingyi arrived at the hotel box a little late. The parents of Xu and Lu's families were seated and chatting.

The moment the two of them came in arm-in-arm, Liu Qing smiled and said to Mother Lu next to her: "Tingchuan has become more and more stable in recent years. You see how well matched Tingchuan and Jingyi are."

"Yes, Jingyi is also a humble girl, but she is even more beautiful and charming."

"Aunt Lu."

Xu Jingyi usually behaves well. Although there are not many opportunities for the two families to sit together at the same table, she visits the Lu family quite a lot. It is rare once a year that Lu Tingchuan is around. At other times, she comes to the house by herself.

…

Either buy this or give that as a gift...

Or go shopping with Mother Lu...

cosmetic……

Treating Mother Lu is like accompanying your own mother...

Therefore, Mother Lu is still very satisfied with her...

Looking at Xu Jingyi, she responded with a smile.

After the two people arrived, cold dishes began to be served one after another...

…

Liu Qing glanced at Xu's father and saw how engrossed he was in chatting with Lu's father, completely forgetting the real purpose of this dinner...

There was no movement on his face, but he squeezed Xu's father's hand under the table and tapped his palm...

Xu's father immediately understood his wife's signal...

Seeing Lu's father's words suddenly change: "Brother Lu, Tingchuan is already thirty-three this year, right?"

When Xu Jingyi heard this, she felt happy and knew that her parents were planning to put the wedding on the schedule...

She herself hinted in front of Tingchuan, but always failed...

this time……

Asked directly by parents...

9 out of 10 sure...

He immediately lowered his head pretending to be embarrassed, with a shy look on his face...

"Tingchuan..."

Father Lu knew what Father Xu meant as soon as he heard it...

Regarding the marriage between the two families, both he and Mother Lu had mentioned it to Lu Tingchuan several times in private.

But in the past few years, the Lu family was indeed on the rise, and it was the most critical time. Tingchuan's reason was not to shirk deliberately, but to put the company first, which was to put the interests of the Lu family first.

.

Both he and the directors of the Lu Group were extremely satisfied with the planning and management of the Lu Group by Tingchuan, and the marriage was delayed because of this...

There is no way that he will delay the development of the Lu family because of the confirmed marriage...

As for Xu Jingyi always running to the Lu family, the Xu family did not stop her in any way. They also knew that they were the only ones who wanted this daughter-in-law, and there was no possibility that they could not afford her.

So business opportunities can’t wait...

But marriage can wait...

After all, everyone in the Lu family knows which family is passive in the marriage between the two families...

But now...

The Lu family is already considered one of the most wealthy families in Ancheng...

It just doesn’t make sense to delay the marriage any longer now...

Father Lu looked at his son who had become more mature and stable after five years of baptism...

The son he once looked down upon the most is now impressive...

But at the same time, his son, who was easy to control five years ago, is now gradually out of his control...

Now even he is not sure that Tingchuan can completely control his life...

Father Lu no longer talks to Lu Tingchuan like he did five years ago. Now when he talks to Lu Tingchuan, he also talks with him with a touch of negotiation.

"You and Jingyi have been engaged for five years. It's time to consider putting your marriage on the agenda..."

Father Lu's words sounded like he was making a decision, but his eyes and tone were clearly asking for Lu Tingchuan's opinion...

From the beginning of Xu's father's words to the marriage, Lu Tingchuan has been sitting quietly, his face that has long since lost its appearance is like a calm pool of water, without any ups and downs, making it difficult to understand what he really thinks about the marriage.

What do you think...

Until the end of Father Lu's words and the moment the conversation turned to him, Lu Tingchuan suddenly stood up and picked up the mobile phone on the table...

"Dad, I'm going out to take a call. It's business."

His movements were too fast and his tall and straight body stood up so that no one sitting there could see whether there was an incoming call or no call on the mobile phone he was holding...

But looking at his calm handsome face, it doesn't look like he is deliberately avoiding...

The addition of the word "official business" made Father Lu speechless and nodded in agreement.

After all, Tingchuan's performance has been getting better and better in the past few years, and he is very measured in his dealings with others. Everything he does is for the good of the Lu family.

On such an occasion, when marriage was being discussed, if it wasn't an important business matter, he would definitely not leave suddenly...

…

The parties involved left the table, and the remaining people present could no longer continue discussing the marriage. The topic was discontinued, and Father Lu and Father Xu started chatting again.

Liu Qing still kept a decent smile on her face, and started chatting with Mother Lu on the side.

Xu Jingyi just lowered her head and waited quietly to finalize the marriage, but it was interrupted again because Tingchuan suddenly left the meeting...

Her drooped eyelids were full of annoyance. After several seconds, she didn't react until Mother Lu called her. However, Mother Xu reached out and touched her under the table without leaving any trace, and she finally came back to her senses.

, the moment he raised his head, a decent smile appeared on his face, and for a while, the atmosphere at the table was excellent.

…

Lu Tingchuan returned to the box just as the last dish was being served, and took the initiative to open up the topic. While drinking, the chat centered on some information in the mall...

Liu Qing glanced at Xu Jingyi and saw that she couldn't hide the nervousness in her eyebrows. She knew what she was thinking at a glance. He shook her hand again without leaving a trace, and after making sure that there was nothing strange on her face,

Then he let go and gave her a look...

Xu Jingyi is indeed very nervous...

In fact, it's not like she hasn't considered this method in the past five years...

But in the end, she still lost to her own self-esteem, as she was too embarrassed to admit in front of her mother that Lu Tingchuan had never touched her...

She was very confident in her face and body, and she would never allow her to have an intimate relationship with Lu Tingchuan in that way...

Even if she could succeed, she would still feel ashamed...

A woman must have no confidence in herself and the man she loves to use such a method...

But now...

She had no other choice...

Reality cannot allow her to deceive herself and others so that she cannot see the truth...

Maybe Lu Tingchuan's natural intimacy with Lu Xiyan was because they slept together one night five years ago...

If she and Tingchuan sleep together one night, Tingchuan will definitely like her even more...

After all, Lu Xiyan was only eighteen years old at the time, and she was still a girl who didn't understand anything.

She grew up studying abroad and is much more open-minded than at home.

At that time, she was in a country that was particularly open in this regard, so during those green years, she also indulged a lot...

Similarly, how popular she was at the time was how confident she was in herself.

As long as she was given the opportunity to lie in Lu Tingchuan's arms, she was confident that she could make him fall in love with her...

Moreover, Lu Xiyan could get pregnant in one night, and she could do the same. Moreover, her mother also specially obtained a prescription through channels that could increase the chance of pregnancy. She was ovulating...

The right time, place, and right people, she did not believe that her charm was not as good as Lu Xiyan's, and that she could not conceive a child in one fell swoop...

"Tingchuan, drink some soup to cushion your stomach before drinking."

As Xu Jingyi spoke softly, she helped Lu Tingchuan open the cup of soup at his hand, poured it into the soup bowl at his hand, and put the spoon in it. After gently stirring to dissipate the heat, she picked it up with both hands and placed it in the soup bowl.

In front of him...
