Young Master Lu’s Lovely New Bride

Chapter 373 Support Me, But Also Protect Me!

The design draft sent by Levin was only the first draft, only she could only see the approximate style of the dress, which was exactly what Luo Xiaoxi wanted.

She replied to Levin in an email, saying that she liked his design very much and hoped to put on this dress soon.

After a few minutes, Levin replied: “I have returned to France, and the workshop is rushing to make it for you. On the anniversary of Yicheng’s company, you will be the most beautiful lady in the room.”

Luo Xiaoxi smiled with a pinch of her lips and was very satisfied. She closed her mailbox to watch the entertainment news and actually saw a report on herself—

“Luo Xiaoxi returned and admitted for the first time that she has been chasing the president of the Cheng An Group for 10 years. Is she being frank or trying to get attention?”

At the press conference, Luo Xiaoxi admitted to chasing after Su Yicheng, saying that she wanted nobody but Su Yicheng, but it caused a heated debate on the Internet the following day.

What she did not expect was for the comments to be very polarized.

Some people thought that her frankness was very cute, anyway, at present Su Yicheng was single and they supported her to continue chasing him.

However, some people thought that the girl was shameless, since she had not succeeded after chasing a man for 10 years and had admitted it in front of so many people and the media!

What made Luo Xiaoxi uncomfortable was that some people said that she was so shameless for just a man! Such a shameless woman, no man would ever want her, let alone Su Yicheng! So she could just wait for Su Yicheng to announce that he was getting married! She could cry then!

The two camps clashed fiercely, and the supporters and opponents finally started a war of words.

Regarding the matter of chasing Su Yicheng, Luo Xiaoxi never felt embarrassed, let alone feel that she had done wrong.

She pursued what she wanted without harming the world or harming anyone’s interests. Who dared to say that this was a mistake?

As for confessing in public, all the friends around her already knew about her chasing Su Yicheng, and from time to time they teased her. She didn’t mind, because she didn’t feel that such things needed to be hidden in her heart as a secret.

So acknowledging it was nothing to her.

On the other hand, if she dared not talk about the thing she wanted, how would she get it?

Su Yicheng inadvertently raised his head and saw Luo Xiaoxi’s face looking depressed, while her fingers scratched the tablet.

He walked over, looked at the content displayed on the screen, and finally understood why Luo Xiaoxi was depressed, and took away the tablet, saying, “Don’t watch that.”

“I didn’t expect to start a war of words…” Luo Xiaoxi reflected for a moment, then added, “But is this caused by my careless speech?”

If she had thought beforehand about the consequences of confessing the fact that she had been chasing Su Yicheng, then perhaps the current situation might not exist.

Su Yicheng said, “If you tell the reporters that you not only succeeded in chasing Su Yicheng, but have also completely taken control of him, then those who scold you will naturally shut up.”

Luo Xiaoxi made a “stop” gesture while saying, “Mr. Su, the cyberworld you in your imagination is too beautiful.”

If she responded as Su Yicheng said, the voices of ridicule would disappear, but she assumed that someone would jump out and scold her for showing off.

“Su Yicheng,” Luo Xiaoxi hugged his thigh, “I suddenly thought that it’s so difficult to be a public figure.”

“You can leave this circle at any time,” Su Yicheng said. “I can support you.”

“I’m not that vulnerable and won’t just give up like this!” Luo Xiaoxi put half of her face on Su Yicheng’s leg. “I heard that you are still quite important in this circle, so I now need to flatter you because you will not only support me in the future, but also protect me!”

“… For another minute more, you will really need protection.”

Su Yicheng’s voice suddenly became low and dangerous. Luo Xiaoxi raised her head confusedly, only to find that their current posture was easy to be misunderstood. Su Yicheng stood in front of her, and she hugged his thigh and buried her face on his leg, which looked like…

Luo Xiaoxi loosened Su Yicheng as if she had just been shocked with electricity. “I didn’t mean it.”

If she did it on purpose, why would Su Yicheng point it out to her? He would have already taken her to bed.

Su Yicheng lifted his wrist and looked at his watch; it was just time to get off work. He reached out to Luo Xiaoxi. “Get up and come with me.”

Luo Xiaoxi took Su Yicheng’s hand and asked with expectation, “Where are you taking me today?”

Su Yicheng paused mysteriously for a moment and said, “Your home.”

Luo Xiaoxi was stunned and nodded stiffly. “It’s time to take you home to meet my parents.”

Su Yicheng first drove to an imported fruit shop near the company, ordered a fruit basket, and had the people bring the best vintage wine and the gifts prepared long ago from his home, then he took Luo Xiaoxi home.

Some time ago, Su Yicheng came almost every weekend, and servants of the Luo family already knew him for a long time. Seeing that he came back with Luo Xiaoxi with so many things and knowing that there had to be some matter, a maid thus turned and shouted in the house, “Mr. Luo, Madam, Miss and Mr. Su are back.”

Mrs. Luo welcomed them happily. It was just the time to have a meal, and she said that she wanted to make dinner for Su Yicheng herself. She then took Luo Xiaoxi to the kitchen to help her.

Luo Xiaoxi protested after entering the kitchen. “Mom, there are so many people in the family, why do you want me to help you?”

“Stupid,” Mrs. Luo patted Luo Xiaoxi’s head, “Yicheng has something to tell your dad, and your dad probably has something to tell Yicheng, what are you doing there?”

“They have something to talk about? Why don’t I know about it!”

Luo Xiaoxi curiously opened the kitchen door and looked into the living room. However, except for the fruits and gifts brought by Su Yicheng, the living room was empty.

After asking the housekeeper, she knew that Su Yicheng and her father were in the study on the second floor.

Luo Xiaoxi was confused. What exactly did they need to say that they even hid in the study?

Out of curiosity, Luo Xiaoxi quickly finished her work, ran to the second floor, and knocked on the study door. “Lao Luo, it’s me.”

Father Luo’s voice came out quickly. “Come in.”

Luo Xiaoxi responded and pushed open the door of the study, only to see Su Yicheng playing chess with Lao Luo. They didn’t seem to be talking about any major events at all. She immediately felt bored. “Why are you being so mysterious when are you just playing chess?”

She didn’t even bother to enter the study. She closed the door and turned around to go back downstairs.

Lao Luo knocked over one of Su Yicheng’s pawns with his knight and shook his head with a smile. “You still know her.”

After Mrs. Luo brought Luo Xiaoxi into the kitchen, Su Yicheng said that there was something to discuss with him, which could not be known to Xiaoxi, so he took Su Yicheng to the study.

Su Yicheng also said that Luo Xiaoxi would be curious if they were not in the living room. It would be better to talk about it while playing chess because if she came up and saw them playing chess, Luo Xiaoxi would not want to stay there for more than half a minute.

Sure enough, Su Yicheng guessed it all correctly.

Lao Luo drank tea in peace. “Just do what you say, I have no opinion. Xiaoxi… is not young.”

Su Yicheng took out Lao Luo’s rook. The chess game was in a deadlock. Neither side would lose or win. Lao Luo simply ended the game and said, “Let’s go downstairs, it’s time to eat.”

They could start to eat after the braised fish was cooked.

Inside the kitchen…

Mrs. Luo said while dealing with the onions, “Normally, I can’t cook braised fish well. But today Yicheng is here, so I may be able to do it well.”

Luo Xiaoxi couldn’t help complaining. “I’m also back, why can’t I stimulate you to cook it well?”

Mrs. Luo took a faint glance at Luo Xiaoxi. “If you could stimulate me, why can’t I make braised fish for so many years?”

Luo Xiaoxi: “…” She must not be her biological mother.

At this time, Su Yicheng pushed open the kitchen door and came in. Luo Xiaoxi’s eyes flashed and she pushed Su Yicheng over to the sink. “Only the braised fish is left. You show my mom how to do it, anyway she can’t make it taste good.”

Compared to Luo Xiaoxi’s complaining, Mrs. Luo was more surprised that Su Yicheng would cook, so she looked at him with disbelief and almost cut her finger with a knife.

Su Yicheng took the knife naturally. “Auntie, let me cook it.”

His cutting skills had reached such a level that they were all amazed. Every slice of ginger was almost the same thickness, and he cut in a very decisive way.

Su Yicheng was also familiar with the next bit of cooking. Mrs. Luo was stunned, who pulled Luo Xiaoxi out of the kitchen. “Did you chase him because you knew that he was good at cooking?”

“What?!” Luo Xiaoxi smiled, and felt it difficult to conceal her pride and happiness. “I only knew he was good at cooking after I chased him.”

When eating, Lao Luo and Mrs. Luo both praised Su Yicheng’s braised fish. Lao Luo even opened a bottle of wine to drink with Su Yicheng.

Luo Xiaoxi knew her dad the best. He had an old-fashioned style and paid great attention to health. He hadn’t drunk for a long time. Today, him breaking that rule only showed that he was in a good mood.

However, they just had the braised fish made by Su Yicheng. Was it necessary to feel so good?

After dinner, it was already past eight o’clock.

Su Yicheng said he was going back, and Mrs. Luo pushed Luo Xiaoxi over. “Xiaoxi, walk Yicheng out.” She also told Su Yicheng, “Drive carefully on the way back.”

When Luo Xiaoxi went out, her mother usually didn’t tell even say that to her, and once out of the house, she held Su Yicheng’s hand. “It’s wise for you to get my parents on your side first.”

Su Yicheng said, “I thought that you would have to make trouble with me for a long time. What else can I do without your parents?” He didn’t want to face the fact that when Luo Xiaoxi came back, not only was she unwilling to talk to him, but her parents also rejected him outside the door.

“You’re smart!” Luo Xiaoxi suddenly remembered and asked, “But what did you say to my dad in the study? He seems to be in a good mood; he even drank wine.”

At this point, they had stepped out of the door.

Su Yicheng unlocked the car and the headlights flashed twice. He let go of Luo Xiaoxi’s hand. “You’ll know in a few days. Go back. I need to go now.”

Luo Xiaoxi smiled suspiciously while staring at Su Yicheng. “Are you really leaving like this?”

Outside her home, Su Yicheng didn’t want to.

But Luo Xiaoxi looked at him like this, and he didn’t do anything, would he really have no courage?

Before Luo Xiaoxi could respond, Su Yicheng had wrapped around her waist and took her into his arms. The next second, his lips fell down and he kissed her resolutely.

The wind on this spring night was cold.

Luo Xiaoxi hid in Su Yicheng’s arms and responded to his kiss without feeling cold.

Maybe in this life, she would never feel cold again.
