At the dining table, Lu Han deliberately arranged for Mo Chen to sit opposite Lu Qi. He coughed twice and said, “Mr. Mo…”

Mo Chen naturally took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and walked to Lu Qi’s side. He opened his arms and picked up the empty bowl in front of her as if he was hugging Lu Qi. He said as he helped her fill the bowl with soup, “Uncle Lu, you don’t have to be so polite. Just call me Mo Chen.”

Lu Han awkwardly averted his gaze. After thinking for a long time, he slowly said, “I’m sure you already know about what happened last night.”

“We didn’t handle the engagement between the Yu family and Qiqi well. Something like this would definitely affect the Mo family.”

Mo Chen’s thin lips curled up as he interrupted him with a chuckle, “Uncle Lu, I don’t mind Qiqi’s past.”

“Any outstanding girl will attract a lot of men. If she doesn’t want to talk about what happened between her and Yu Yang, I’ll choose to respect her wishes and at the same time shut everyone else up.”

“I care more about the future with her, and I’m serious about that. Please rest assured.”

Mo Chen’s affectionate confession and promise successfully captured Lu Han and Xie Jiao. Their attitude toward their future son-in-law immediately became warm.

Lu Qi narrowed her eyes and stared at the side of Mo Chen’s face, trying to see through his true thoughts.

Would a completely unfamiliar man be so sure when they only met for the second time?

Lu Qi frowned as she pondered, her eyes filled with vigilance and suspicion.

Mo Chen acted as if he did not sense her attitude. He naturally and intimately helped her with the dishes, as if he had blended into the Lu family’s stance.

Lu Qi forced the corners of her lips to curve. Under the gaze of her parents, she cooperated with him to create a sweet atmosphere.

“The Mo family’s enterprise must be very busy, right? Don’t you have to stay in the company to oversee things?”

Lu Qi felt that Mo Chen’s smile was a little dazzling, so she deliberately probed.

Mo Chen replied with a frank look in his eyes, “Of course your matter is the most important. I have an assistant watching over the company, so you don’t have to worry about me.”

Who’s worried about you?

Lu Qi secretly complained in her heart. She had made it so obvious that there was no way Mo Chen didn’t understand her order to leave!

Lu Han and Xie Jiao looked at their daughter and Mo Chen having a “happy conversation” and couldn’t help but nod with a smile at the corner of their eyes and lips.

The Lu family was filled with a warm and harmonious atmosphere, but the black Mercedes parked in the open space outside the villa was a completely different kind of depressing and heavy.

Yu Yang sat in the back seat with a gloomy face and held his phone. The assistant driver’s secretary didn’t dare to urge him and could only sneak glances at his face from time to time.

“Are you crazy? You have to marry Lu Qi back! Lu Han holds most of the shares and management rights of the Lu Enterprise!”

“Although Lu Qi’s biological brother, Lu Mingxuan, is lying in bed in a vegetative state, he still has a lot of shares in his hands! The Yu family needs to rely on them to turn things around…”

“No matter how beautiful Lu Nuannuan is, she is only the daughter of the extended family of the Lu family. If you really like her, after you marry Lu Qi, just buy her a villa outside and make her your mistress. We will definitely not care about you.”

“But the most important thing now is for you to hurry up and get Lu Qi back! Otherwise, don’t come back!”

Yu Yang hung up the phone and closed his eyes. His parents’ angry voices echoed in his ears as he clenched his fists silently.

Bang!

Yu Yang pushed open the car door and walked towards the Lu family villa with the gift prepared by the Yu parents. He gritted his teeth and forced a smile as he stood in front of the security guard. “I want to see Lu Qi.”

The security guard recognized Yu Yang. He quickly ran to the living room and whispered in Lu Han’s ear.

“What is he doing here? Hurry up and kick him out! Don’t let him come near the Lu family again!”

Lu Han said angrily. Mo Chen and Lu Qi raised their heads at the same time and saw Yu Yang’s figure through the glass window.

Lu Qi grabbed Lu Han’s arm and said in a light voice, “Let him in.”

Lu Han looked at Lu Qi in surprise.

Lu Qi stood up naturally and walked to Mo Chen’s side to take a seat. She tilted her head slightly to Mo Chen’s shoulder and said with a mocking smile, “I’d like to see what he has to say.”

Yu Yang came in with the security guards. The first thing he saw was Mo Chen and Lu Qi who were close to each other.

He froze and stood in the middle of the living room.

All eyes were on him, and the atmosphere was awkward and silent.

Yu Yang adjusted his breathing and looked up at Lu Qi. “I was impulsive yesterday and didn’t think things through. I would like to apologize to you.”

“As for my engagement with Lu Qi, I hope… I hope that we can continue to push it forward. There will definitely not be a similar situation in the future. The Yu family will also come forward to clarify the matter of canceling the engagement…”

Yu Yang spoke with great difficulty. His forced expression made Lu Qi frown, feeling somewhat unhappy.
