Chapter 94: Lu Li’s Woman Cos Knocking?
“Good job, you Lu scamp, playing tricks on , huh!” Cao’s grandfather, unable to contain his laughter, pointed at Lu Li after a brief mont of worry.
He had thought there was a problem with the treatnt!
“Lu Li~~” Cao Yingying playfully scolded Lu Li with a roll of her eyes.
Her eyes sparkled with joy, delighted to see Lu Li becoming more open and cheerful than ever. It was such a contrast to his previous life, where he had been constantly hurt, leading to a numb existence. Now, he could even joke around.
“Haha, you’re happy, right!” Lu Li laughed heartily, genuinely content. This level of happiness was sothing he had never experienced in his previous life.
Cao’s grandfather was a kind man. Lu Li was aware that if it hadn’t been for the elder’s tacit approval in his previous life, Cao Yingying might not have been by his side during his final days. The elder’s indulgence towards Yingying and his kindness towards Lu Li made him a respectable figure, worthy of admiration by both Lu Li and Cao Yingying.
“You little Lu fellow!” Cao’s grandfather, still chuckling, pointed at Lu Li once more.
After a mont of playful banter, Cao’s grandfather couldn’t hide his joy.
“Little Lu lad, you once said you’re a businessman. So, tell , what do you want this old man to do for you? As long as it’s within my power, I won’t refuse.”
Cao’s grandfather suddenly got serious: “I heard you’re planning to head to Modu. Do you need to help you make so connections?”
“Grandfather~~” Cao Yingying frowned, puffing up her cheeks in disapproval.
Lu Li smiled warmly, squeezing Cao Yingying’s hand: “Grandfather, you’re being too formal. You’ve already given the most precious thing. How could I ask for more?”
Cao Yingying, her cheeks flushed with embarrassnt at holding hands in front of her grandfather, tried to pull away, but Lu Li’s grip was firm. She playfully glared at him, her heart swelling with sweetness.
“Ah, my Yingying being in love with you doesn’t count as sothing I’m giving to you. I haven’t stooped so low as to trade my granddaughter for my legs,” Cao’s grandfather declared with authority.
Lu Li had proclaid himself a businessman, and the treatnt was indeed a form of ‘business.’ However, his granddaughter would never be part of any deal. That was a line that couldn’t be crossed!
“Little Lu lad, now that you and Yingying are together, the future of the Cao family will stand behind you. But let’s first settle our ‘business.'”
It might have sounded unnecessary, as Cao’s grandfather’s words implied future support, effectively dissolving the so-called ‘business’ into thin air.
Lu Li could sowhat understand Cao’s grandfather’s perspective, feeling a bit helpless. How could he have known he would end up with Cao Yingying!
Glancing at Cao Yingying, who nodded softly at him, Lu Li felt a surge of warmth.
“If that’s the case, perhaps Grandfather could prepare a wedding dress for Yingying, the best one, along with a diamond ring.”
Cao’s grandfather chuckled at Lu Li’s words, then laughed heartily: “You little rascal, you’ve got wrapped around your finger, haven’t you? Alright, I concede.”
Indeed, if Lu Li faced trouble, could he just stand by and watch?
Even if there was no trouble, how could he refuse to help Lu Li!
“However, I’m not fond of those Western wedding gowns. A phoenix robe and crown, that’s our people’s finest. Yingying wearing that for her wedding will be beautiful.”
Cao’s grandfather waved his hand, declaring confidently.
“Thank you, Grandfather.” Lu Li appreciated the thought.
Cao Yingying, stunned by the man beside her, felt the warmth of his hand on hers. Even after being reborn, she felt moved to tears.
“You rascal, if only you had been like this earlier, perhaps we could have been together in our previous life.” Her eyes reddened slightly, overjoyed to finally hear Lu Li’s confession.
“What now, still calling grandfather? After preparing a phoenix robe and crown for Yingying, isn’t calling grandfather a bit too formal?” Cao’s grandfather laughed heartily.
“Grandfather!” Lu Li complied smoothly.
Cao Yingying, her cheeks blushing, bowed her head shyly, her heart brimming with warmth and tears of happiness sparkling in her eyes.
Life was truly beautiful. She had received Lu Li’s love, and even if that love was now shared, it was equally precious. With her family’s blessings and her lover by her side, she cherished her quiet protection of her.
This life, Cao Yingying would not allow anyone to disrupt.
Anyone who dared to harm Lu Li would have to contend with her first.
A chill flashed in her eyes as she rembered Ye Chen, who had killed Lu Li in her previous life. This ti, he wouldn’t succeed. She would work alongside Lu Li to deal with that bastard Ye Chen.
“Ha ha ha ha ha, very good, very good!” Cao’s grandfather’s series of ‘good’ showed his satisfaction.
Although Lu Li was sowhat of a playboy, his granddaughter liked him. Aside from his philandering, Lu Li had no other faults and possessed capability. Most importantly, his granddaughter had accepted his philandering.
Her happiness was paramount.
“Take good care of Yingying in the future. Don’t let her suffer.”
Of course, as a grandfather, he still had to advocate for his granddaughter’s interests.
“Grandfather, rest assured, I couldn’t bear to.” Lu Li looked at Cao Yingying tenderly. How could he bear to see her suffer?
“How dare you, you rascal, you sure have a way with words. That’s how you chard away my Yingying!” Cao’s grandfather huffed, his tone becoming unfriendly.
“Cough, grandfather… it was who pursued Lu Li.” Cao Yingying raised her hand, her cheeks blushing, softly speaking.
“That’s because this rascal bewitched you.” Cao’s grandfather stiffened, stubbornly insisting.
***
At the Lu family estate, Chen Ya arrived overnight, eager to see Lu Li, the man she had been longing for. Her arrival, even knowing it wasn’t polite, stemd from her desire to see the man she loved.
Things had changed significantly, perhaps due to the butterfly effect of her rebirth. Lu Li wasn’t struck down by Ye Chen and had given up on that wench Zhang Ziqin. Although there was now Chen Xiaoyi, Chen Ya still had confidence in herself.
“Hello, madam, may I ask who you are looking for?” The security guard diligently perford his duties.
“I’m looking for Lu Li,” Chen Ya said, her nervousness mounting.
In her previous life, she had visited the Lu family estate, but Lu Li was no longer there, except for Lu Ya, the wretch.
“I’m sorry, the young master has not yet returned. Please allow to inform them.”
“Go ahead, tell your young master his woman has co for him.” Her mature charm radiated from her elegant cheongsam, the perfect backdrop for her mature beauty.
The security guard was stunned. Did this lady just say she’s the young master’s woman? Could this be one of the young master’s romantic entanglents coming to call?
With two Mrs. Lus inside, was this the start of a dostic inferno?
For a mont, the security guard didn’t know whether to inform them or not.
