Chapter 109: Don't Marry Lu Jingqing

Lu Chi didn't know how long he had run, and only then did he reach the outside of Huangjia Jiudian.

When he saw that the guests had already walked out of the banquet hall, Lu Chi immediately ran inside.

He tried to find Su Yun Jiao's figure inside the banquet hall.

But Lu Chi searched all around and didn't notice where Su Yun Jiao was.

The guard at the door, suspicious, looked at Lu Chi before him and asked, "May I ask who you're looking for? Tonight's banquet has already ended."

"I'm looking for Su Yun Jiao."

Lu Chi pushed past the guard, and the guard found the man before him bewildering.

At that moment, Lu Chi saw Zhou Xian and Zhou Tingting.

Lu Chi almost immediately ran toward the two of them.

"Where is Su Yun Jiao? Where is she?"

Seeing Lu Chi come up and immediately look for Su Yun Jiao, Zhou Tingting was somewhat bewildered: "What are you doing? Do you still want to cause trouble for Su Yun Jiao?"

Just now Lu Chi had run straight out of the banquet hall, which was already embarrassing enough.

Zhou Tingting hadn't expected Lu Chi to dare come back.

"I just want to ask you, where did Su Yun Jiao go?"

Lu Chi's eyes were bloodshot, his face full of urgency.

Zhou Tingting had never seen Lu Chi like this before; she hesitated a moment, then said, "Su Yun Jiao should be with Lu Jingqing on the second floor of the banquet hall right now..."

Hearing that Su Yun Jiao might be on the second floor, Lu Chi immediately ran into the banquet hall and went up the stairs without a word.

"Brother, what's wrong with Lu Chi? Is his brain messed up?"

Running over in such a hurry, those who didn't know would think something major had happened.

Zhou Xian remained silent.

He roughly understood why Lu Chi had run back.

Inside the second floor of the banquet hall.

Su Yun Jiao had been busy all day, her whole body sore, waist aching and back painful.

As soon as she reached the suite, she couldn't wait to take off her evening gown.

"This waist is really too tight; I almost couldn't breathe just now."

Su Yun Jiao, while speaking, had the makeup artist undo the zipper at the back of her dress.

The makeup artist smiled and said, "This was specially instructed by Mr. Lu; Mr. Lu said the dress looks better this way."

"Yeah, it's really deadly."

"Young Master Lu? How did you come back?"

At the doorway, the attendant stared in surprise at Lu Chi, who had already arrived at the door.

Lu Chi didn't know when he had run over; he looked panting, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Hearing the commotion outside, Su Yun Jiao opened the door and indeed saw Lu Chi at the doorway.

Lu Chi gazed at Su Yun Jiao, his eyes seeming to hold many things he wanted to say.

Su Yun Jiao furrowed her brows and asked, "Is something wrong?"

Lu Chi still just stared at Su Yun Jiao before him, saying nothing for a long while.

Su Yun Jiao grew a bit impatient and asked, "Is there something or not?"

At that moment, Lu Chi suddenly reached out with both hands and pressed them onto Su Yun Jiao's shoulders.

Because of this sudden move, Su Yun Jiao froze.

"Don't marry Lu Jingqing."

Lu Chi spoke his inner thoughts, his words actually carrying a hint of pleading.

Looking at Lu Chi before her, Su Yun Jiao froze.

After saying that sentence, Lu Chi had already exhausted all his courage.

"In short, don't marry Lu Jingqing."

"On what grounds?"

Su Yun Jiao's mere counterquestion left Lu Chi unable to speak.

"Yeah, on what grounds?"

"They have no relationship at all."

"On what basis does he tell Su Yun Jiao not to marry Lu Jingqing?"

Facing Su Yun Jiao's question, Lu Chi spoke up: "I... I will marry you, in any case you cannot marry Lu Jingqing."

Lu Chi's saying he would marry her was spoken very reluctantly.

It was as if he were reluctantly taking her as his wife.

If it were her previous life, hearing Lu Chi voluntarily say he wanted to marry her would surely make her very happy.

But now, she no longer cares for Lu Chi's affection.

"Sorry, I don't want to marry you; the person I want to marry is Lu Jingqing."

That sentence made Lu Chi's body stiffen.

"The person you want to marry is Lu Jingqing?"

Lu Chi repeated those words as if he couldn't believe them.

Su Yun Jiao and Lu Jingqing have only known each other for a month altogether.

Just a month's time, and Su Yun Jiao already wants to marry Lu Jingqing?

"You and Lu Jingqing have only known each other for a month; how could you possibly already want to marry Lu Jingqing?"

"Why not?"

Su Yun Jiao said, "You and Qin Xue also haven't known each other for long; you could just as well turn against me for Qin Xue's sake, so why can't I marry Lu Jingqing?"

Lu Chi's face instantly darkened: "How can Lu Jingqing and Qin Xue be the same? I've already explained this many times; Qin Xue and I are just friends, and we don't even keep in touch now. If that's why you chose Lu Jingqing, then I can promise you..."

"Stop!"

Su Yun Jiao made a pause gesture in front of Lu Chi and said, "You might have misunderstood; I was just giving an example earlier—I don't actually care, so you don't need to promise me these things."

"Su Yun Jiao, you're going to marry Lu Jingqing no matter what, right?"

"Yes."

Su Yun Jiao nodded and said, "No matter what, I will marry Lu Jingqing; even if you cut ties with Qin Xue, I could never marry you."

Hearing Su Yun Jiao's firm words, Lu Chi's face grew even darker: "Fine! Then if you regret it later, don't ever come looking for me!"

After saying that, Lu Chi flicked his sleeves and left.

Su Yun Jiao saw this but had no reaction.

To her, Lu Chi now is just a somewhat childish kid.

Those words just now were only because she couldn't accept that a little follower who had trailed her since childhood suddenly fell for someone else.

"You say you'll marry me no matter what?"

At the other end of the hallway, Lu Jingqing suddenly spoke.

Hearing Lu Jingqing's voice, Su Yun Jiao's heart skipped a beat; when she turned around, she saw Lu Jingqing standing at the other end of the hallway, not knowing how much he had overheard.

Su Yun Jiao then felt a bit embarrassed: "When were you eavesdropping here?"

"I've been eavesdropping for a while, starting from when you said the person you want to marry is me."

"..."

Su Yun Jiao suddenly felt like she wanted to disappear into a crack in the ground.

"I didn't mean that; I just wanted to get rid of him quickly."

"I know."

Lu Jingqing walked up to Su Yun Jiao, reached out and touched her head: "Go on, take off your makeup; we'll head home soon."

"Okay."

Su Yun Jiao obediently nodded, behaving like a primary school student.

Lu Jingqing watched Su Yun Jiao return to her room, then shook his head helplessly.

This little girl, when she lies, doesn't even blush.

He just now almost believed it for real.

In the room, Su Yun Jiao felt her face burning; after touching it she realized it was really hot.
