122: Chapter 117: Nanxi, Will You Marry Me?_1 122: Chapter 117: Nanxi, Will You Marry Me?_1 Dressed in his new clothes, Lu Qingtian was quite excited.
He talked non-stop all the way and this time, Lu Yinchu didn't stop him.
Nanxi thought, perhaps he's in a good mood today! After about twenty minutes of driving, they arrived at a standalone villa.
As the villa door opened, servants dressed appropriately welcomed them and the car drove in.
Nanxi looked out the car window at the villa.
How could she describe it? It was as luxurious as where Lu Yinchu lived, if not three or four times larger...
This was indeed the renowned Lu Family of H City! Halfway there, the car suddenly stopped.
Lu Yinchu turned to Lu Qingtian in the back seat, "You go in first and inform Mum and Grandpa.
I'll give you a thousand if you make a swift exit.
If you do well, it's doubled!" Upon hearing this, Lu Qingtian immediately jumped out of the car, shouting to Nanxi, "Go get 'em, sister-in-law!" and off he bounced.
Nanxi: "..." The inside of the car quieted down.
Lu Yinchu lit up a cigarette, then patted the passenger seat and said, "Csit in the front!" Nanxi thought he might have something else to remind her of, so she obediently got out of the car, opened the passenger side door and sat down.
"Mr.
Lu, is there anything else?" Lu Yinchu exhaled a ring of smoke.
His dark eyes and chiseled features were accentuated, making it a bit glaring to look at.
Nanxi averted her gaze.
Lu Yinchu spoke, "There's something else I forgot to mention last time; it's about your future career plan." "Oh." Nanxi nodded.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Do they really care about what I do in the future?" Lu Yinchu shook his head, "No, they won't care about that at all.....' He paused, then continued, "My parents are very open-minded.
Especially my mother; she used to be a lawyer.
" But after marrying my father, she quit her job and settled down to take care of us and my grandfather..." Nanxi was startled, "Are you saying that the women who marry into the Lu family need to bechousewives?" Lu Yinchu glanced at her faintly, smiled, and said, "What are you afraid of? You're not planning on marrying me, are you?" "Cough!" Nanxi choked, “Absolutely not! That's not what I meant!" Lu Yinchu gave a faint smile, "Today, my father is not around, so my mother is more focused on our relationship, when we'll get married, and when we'll have a child..." Our relationship? Getting married? Having a...child? Nanxi was stunned by these words.
Lu Yinchu stated, “About these matters, if you can manage, answer them according to the technique, if not, don't say anything, leave it to me!" "What if you're not around?" Lu Yinchu looked at her.
The smoke curled around his eye corner giving him an evocative allure.
His lips lightly parted.
"Nanxi, I do not think you are a foolish girl!" But I'm also not particularly brilliant! Nanxi secretly grumbled.
Lu Yinchu added, "In a nutshell, just be natural and casual, as if...
you're really going to meet your future in-laws...
Nanxi, remember what I told you before.
You need to try to change yourself so that you can change your surroundings.
Today's a great opportunity to train yourself!" Nanxi pressed her lips together.
His words made sense to her.
"Thank you, Mr.
Lu!" "Don't thank me!" Lu Yinchu put out the half-smoked cigarette, took a deep breath and said softly, "Nanxi, verbal thanks mean nothing to me." Nanxi faltered.
Verbal thanks mean nothing? Does he expect a tangible thank you from her? How so? Nanxi was starting to feel awkward.
She truly felt that Lu Yinchu, though good in every aspect, couldn't change his businessman's nature of prioritizing profit and avoiding loss.
Of course, that could also depend on his mood.
For example, in this whole "pretending to be a couple" situation, Nanxi felt that Lu Yinchu was losing more than she was.
As Lu Yinchu was about to start the car, his cell phone suddenly rang.
It was a call from Lu Qingtian.
Lu Yinchu answered.
"Bro, we're in trouble! I just went to the study to find Grandpa, and I found that my cousin's wife is here today.
She seems to have upset Grandpa again.
I saw her with red eyes, she must've cried.
Mum just senthere to tell you to stay in the car for a while with my sister-in-law.
Don't cin yet.
Mom said, it's your first meeting, so it shouldn't be too..." Lu Yinchu cut off the call, his gaze turning dark.
Nanxi looked at him worriedly, "What's wrong?" Lu Yinchu tapped his fingers on the steering wheel twice before saying, "Nanxi, there's something...
I need to tell you!" Nanxi blinked, "Go ahead!" "So..." Lu Yinchu said, "...I did sinvestigation into your background a while ago, and I have a general understanding of your family situation as well as your boyfriend's family situation..." "Yes, I know.
You've told me!" said Nanxi.
Lu Yinchu nodded, "...I just found out a couple of days ago that my mother seems to know your future mother-in- law.
Apparently, they were classmates back in the day." Nanxi: "..." She stared blankly, not knowing quite how to react.
Classmates? Lu Yinchu's mother and Li Weihuan's mother were...
classmates? Nanxi initially was floored by this, but Lu Yinchu had another bombshell to drop.
Lu Yinchu revealed, "...And it seems like your boyfriend's mother...
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmis currently in our living room..." "Cough..." Nanxi choked, flustered and asked, "What...
what should we do now? Drive away.
His mother knows what I look like.
As soon as she sees me, the jig is up!" Lu Yinchu's eyes passed over the scene before them, his thin lips moving, "...I'm afraid...
it's too late now!"
Following Lu Yinchu's gaze, Nanxi saw two middle-aged women and a Ε servant walking towards them, the women in front and the servant behind. One woman was wearing a simple house dress, yet she exuded an impressive dignity as she walked...
The other woman was wearing a blue and gold cheongsam dress, her hair in an updo.
Her demeanor, way more refined and opulent compared to the lady next to her, made her seem intimidatingly regal...
And this woman was Li Weihuan's mother, Nanxi's so-called future mother-in-law...Qi Qun...
Nanxi didn't know how to react.
She subconsciously grabbed Lu Yinchu's sleeve and anxiously asked, “What do we do now? We need to go, she's walking over here, let's go..." "Driving away now would only arouse more suspicion.
Plus, it would be incredibly rude..."
Finishing his sentence, Lu Yinchu put his hand over her small, warm hand and whispered, "Don't be scared, I have a plan..." As Qi Qun and the others were getting closer, Nanxi felt like she was about to die on the spot! If Qi Qun were to see her with Lu Yinchu, their lie would surely be exposed.
In which case, what would happen next...
Nanxi didn't dare to becthe centre of attention.
"Lu...." Nanxi began to call out, but before she could say anything aloud, she suddenly found herself engulfed by a heavy shadow, followed by a forceful pressure on her lips. The overwhelming masculine scent enveloped her...
