Back then, Lu’s had not yet moved abroad, and their reputation in the Imperial Capital was very prominent. With a foundation rooted in an Ancient Martial Arts Family for hundreds of years, even regular wealthy families couldn’t compare.
Old Master Lu trained a mysterious and powerful Ancient Martial force, with each mber possessing Ultimate skills and superior martial arts. It’s said they could enter and exit places without being seen.
"Wanwan and I were at the end of our rope, desperate and with no options left, we had to seek help at Lu’s doorstep. We thought a distinguished family like theirs would definitely refuse to help us, but unexpectedly, Old Master Lu, whom we didn’t know at all, agreed readily. He even dispatched his most prized force, which successfully rescued Jun Cheng.
When they returned, two Ancient Martial Disciples were wounded from gunshots.
Although many years have passed, recalling that scene remains vivid, especially when they returned Jun Cheng unhard into the hands of your mother and , we were truly overwheld with tears and gratitude. Yet, Old Master Lu, with great dignity, refused any monetary compensation and proposed a marriage alliance instead. At that ti, your mother and I, filled with gratitude, didn’t think much and agreed.
Now that Lu Family has co with a proposal, how do you expect us to go back on our word? Back then, if not for Lu’s, Jun Cheng would have been in trouble, and your mother and I wouldn’t have survived, nor would there be the two of you."
Ye Zhuoxuan finished speaking, and Ye Shaowen felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him, extinguishing his anger, replaced by deep shock.
So it was Lu Family who saved my eldest brother.
So it was them who promised first.
But...
Ye Xian was also stunned.
What the heck? How co there’s this ssed-up hidden plot? This wasn’t in the original work! Even if her mory is bad, there’s no way she’d forget such an important scene. If it were there... did the supporting actress bring her own funding to add scenes for herself?
No way, for the drama she signed up, the agent would have screened it beforehand. Such a situation wouldn’t occur, and moreover...
Wait!
Ye Xian silently calculated in her heart that by this point in the story, in the original work, ’Ye Xian’ should have been killed by Jiang Wanze, right?
So her plot spoiler hook... is gone!
Ye Xian suddenly panicked.
In the hall, Xia Hewan was a bit worried to see her husband and children not co out for a long ti.
"Young Master Lu, I’m sorry for the delay, please have so tea first, I’ll go take a look."
Lu Cen nodded, "Alright, Auntie, no need to be so polite."
Under the crystal chandelier, only the servants and he, sipping tea alone, were left. Besides being extrely pleased at discovering Ye Xian is a woman, what was on his mind was the expression of Eldest Young Master Ye and Second Young Master.
They seed not to like him much or perhaps held so hostility.
But it’s understandable; if he had a younger sister who was being coveted, he wouldn’t be willing either.
Everything requires strategic retreat; hastiness often leads to failure. Beautiful things are always hard to obtain.
He has patience, and Ye Xian is worth him taking it step by step.
Xia Hewan pushed open the study door and heard her eldest son say, "I understand now. Since this matter started because of , I will resolve it."
Ye Zhuoxuan, "Jun Cheng, Dad doesn’t bla you for this. There’s no one to bla really; bla those kidnappers back then, bla the twists of fate."
"Big brother, what are you planning to do?"
Ye Xian curiously looked at him.
"Don’t worry."
Ye Juncheng gently smiled while patting her head, "Big brother won’t let you marry."
In the living room, a servant had prepared a table full of exquisite dishes, and when their family of five walked out of the study, Lu Cen stood up smiling.
"Young Master Lu, please have a seat."
"Thank you."
Lu Cen, although seated across from Ye Xian, took up the napkin in front of him to spread it out for her.
"Ah, there’s no need to be so formal... Thank you."
Ye Xian hadn’t had the chance to decline before Lu Cen had it done.
Xia Hewan and Ye Zhuoxuan exchanged glances, originally clinging to the last hope that Lu Cen might not have any feelings for Xianxian, after all, Xianxian is now presenting as a male, mixed in the entertainnt industry, and any man seeing this might not feel anything.
Although Lu’s is a distinguished family, their manner is very traditional, perhaps they wouldn’t accept Xianxian’s celebrity status, but seeing Lu Cen’s positive attitude now, how is there any sign of dislike at all...
Ye Shaowen looked at Lu Cen’s overly attentive behavior, although he was angry, recalling that Lu Family were their saviors, he had to endure it. There must be a way; no one should even think of taking away his Xiao Yezi!
Ye Juncheng: "Apologies, Young Master Lu, I only just learned of Old Master Lu being my life-saving benefactor, excuse my inconsideration."
Lu Cen: "No need for formalities, being able to save a life is a blessing accumulated by our Ancient Martial Sect."
"The life-saving grace of Lu Family is impossible to repay, but my younger sister is still young, she shouldn’t be dragged into this matter, nor should she be held responsible for it. Since the problem started with , I should bear the consequences alone. I am willing to return with Young Master Lu to et Old Master Lu, willing to accept any task, even if it costs my life, I won’t hesitate."
Once he finished speaking, everyone at the table was shocked.
Ye Xian: "Big brother, what are you saying?"
"Jun Cheng!"
Lu Cen was also slightly moved inside, unexpected that Ye Family’s eldest brother could go to such lengths for his younger sister, seems he underestimated the dignity of Ye’s family, and also underestimated the difficulty of marrying Ye Xian.
Thinking this, he smiled, "Eldest Young Master is overpraising us; saving lives is our Ancient Martial Sect’s honor, especially soone as outstanding as you, contributing to society, bringing glory to the country, Lu’s family couldn’t be happier, why would we want your life?"
Ye Shaowen: "Then what about wealth? As long as Lu’s family asks, even if it ans losing everything, going into debt, I won’t miss a single cent!"
"Lu’s family didn’t want a single penny back then, let alone now."
"Then... though there is a marriage agreent before, it’s true that Young Master Lu and I are strangers, Young Master Lu wouldn’t like , would he?"
Ye Xian looked at him, hopeful.
Lu Cen t her gaze and sheepishly avoided it.
... Yes.
From the very first eting, her brave figure at the horse racing ground was deeply etched in his heart. After returning ho, it haunted him endlessly, dreaming of seeing her again. Soone who never chased celebrities started following entertainnt gossip, all about her. This eting stirred his emotions, further confirming his feelings.
This is a heaven-sent match.
Ye Xian watched him slightly lower his head, "???" What is this? Could he be forced by his family to the extent of not being able to resist? Fight back, young man, you seem iron-willed, with a strong character, could you actually be a pampered boy?
Ye Zhuoxuan: "Xianxian, mind your manners."
Ye Xian: "I..." have been quite mindful, why does talking to him have to be in such elaborate and cryptic language, even top-notch wealthy families like Bo’s don’t have so many rules.
