Chapter 408 Have Another Child for Me

Lu Qinglin slowly spoke, "There are too many people here, it's not convenient to talk."

"Let's talk somewhere else."

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the banquet hall.

Nan Wan gripped her handbag tightly, her knuckles turning white.

She eventually followed after him.

Now that she's back, she'll definitely get to the bottom of things.

The two walked one after the other through the corridor and entered a relatively private meeting room.

The door slammed shut behind them, shutting out all outside noise.

Only a floor lamp was on in the room, creating a somewhat ambiguous atmosphere.

"sit."

Lu Qinglin spoke in the tone of a master.

He slowly unbuttoned his suit jacket and casually draped it over the sofa armrest.

Then, he began to unbutton his cufflinks.

His long, slender fingers fiddled with the metal cufflinks, making a soft clinking sound.

Every movement exudes a nonchalant yet oppressive aura.

Nanwan didn't have the patience to watch his series of little actions.

She got straight to the point, her tone even colder than before.

"I'll ask again."

"Are you the one who wants to demolish the Tang family's ancestral home?"

Lu Qinglin finally unbuttoned his cuffs and rolled up his sleeves to his forearms.

The muscles in his arms are smooth and powerful.

He raised his eyes, his gaze fixed intently on her face, asking a question instead of answering.

“I know Miss Nan thinks the money is too much and doesn’t want the land back, but I don’t want it to fall into Lu Shen’s hands.”

"However, behind that piece of land is the Tang family's ancestral home, which is dilapidated and old, and a bit of an eyesore. The Lu family plans to level it and rebuild a shopping mall."

“You’ve always been overseas, so they assume you don’t care.”

His attitude was nonchalant and matter-of-fact.

Nanwan was so angry she laughed.

"I don't care, Mr. Lu, you're joking."

She stepped forward, aggressively.

“That’s my ancestral home! No one can demolish it.”

"I want to see who dares to touch our Tang family's ancestral home."

Her voice carried a fierce edge; she wouldn't let him touch a single blade of grass, let alone demolish the ancestral home.

Seeing that she finally reacted, Lu Qinglin slowly approached her, his tall figure instantly looming over her.

A masculine scent, a blend of tobacco and woody aromas, wafts over you, strong and domineering.

He looked down at her, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"This is Rongcheng, not Qingcheng."

He chuckled softly.

"Nanwan, you can't make decisions here."

He couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke her rosy cheeks.

"Smack!" It was slapped away by Nan Wan in an instant.

“I can cooperate with you to get that land back, but if you want to touch our Tang family’s ancestral home, dream on.”

Nan Wan stared at him fiercely.

Lu Qinglin slowly took out his cigarette case, shook out a cigarette, held it between his fingers, and was about to light it.

It was stopped by the Southern Evening News.

"Don't smoke in front of me."

Lu Qinglin hesitated for a moment, then didn't light the fire.

He said it slowly and deliberately.

"Then go to the company tomorrow and sign an authorization letter so that Tiannan Group can represent you and challenge the Lu family. However, after we take it back, the land will be transferred to my name, since it was my dowry from my fiancée eight years ago."

Nan Wan: "..."

"Lu Qinglin, you've got a pretty good plan. I'm not marrying you, so why should I let you have it?"

Lu Qinglin smiled and approached her step by step.

"The land belonging to the Tang family is a 'conditional gift,' a dowry, not a commodity. If it weren't for this, the land wouldn't be able to be taken back."

“The Lu family is about to go bankrupt. If they can’t get this land back, it will be used to pay off their debts. The Tang family’s ancestral home is located within the area of ​​this land, and it will still be lost.”

Nan Wan frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"Okay, the land is yours, but you must guarantee that our Tang family's ancestral home will not be touched."

He can take the land if he wants it; she just wants a quick resolution, since she has no plans to return to Rongcheng to develop her career anyway.

"The case is expected to last six months, and you must be present for each court hearing."

"So long?" Nan Wan asked in surprise.

Six months later, she was almost due to give birth.

Not to mention going to court, she would never appear in front of him.

She asked, "Is there a quick way?"

"have."

Lu Qinglin raised an eyebrow and took another step closer to her.

"Have your husband represent you in court to reclaim the land, provided that... he is your legal husband."

"Lu Qinglin." Nan Wan suddenly took a step back, widening the distance between them.

Her eyes were frighteningly cold.

"You're delusional."

"Oh?" Lu Qinglin raised an eyebrow, gradually cornering her until she had nowhere left to retreat.

He stretched out a hand and braced it against the wall near her ear, trapping her completely between himself and the wall.

This posture is full of aggression.

“Nan Wan, you can leave now. I guarantee that when you come back next time, there will be no trace of the Tang family in Rongcheng.”

His voice was low and had a deadly magnetism.

Nan Wan was forced to look up at him.

Beneath the man's deep-set eyes, his pupils were so dark they seemed to draw her in.

She could clearly smell his scent and feel the heat emanating from his body.

Too close.

It's dangerously close.

"Lu Qinglin, what exactly do you want?" Nan Wan turned her face away, her voice filled with chilling coldness and disgust.

"I want a formal title," he said matter-of-factly.

Nan Wan looked directly at him, her beautiful eyes as cold as ice. "Lu Qinglin, we're over."

"I'll make myself clear today."

"From now on, we'll keep our bridges separate from our roads, and not interfere with each other."

"Please disappear completely from my world."

"We are unrelated."

The air was still for a few seconds.

Lu Qinglin stared at her indifferent profile, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.

He suddenly smiled.

The laughter was deep and clear, standing out exceptionally well in the quiet room.

He leaned down, his warm breath brushing against her ear, each word spoken with an undeniable domineering authority.

"Unrelated?"

"Nanwan, it's not up to you to decide."

She killed their child and then tried to distance herself from them.

The mistake has already been made, and there's no way to clear it up now.

As Lu Qinglin finished speaking, every word carried an undeniable force.

Nanwan suddenly raised her hand and pushed him away.

"Stay away from me."

She didn't look at him again, turned around and walked out, her high heels clicking crisply and resolutely on the floor.

She slammed the door shut.

Lu Qinglin finally lit his cigarette and exhaled a puff of smoke.

He wasn't in a hurry; he was willing to take his time with her.

Back at the hotel, Nan Wan took off her high heels and tossed them aside.

She walked barefoot on the carpet for a couple of steps, picked up her phone, and dialed a number.

The call was answered quickly.

She walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the dazzling night view of Fuzhou, but her eyes were cold.

"It's me."

"Send people over here, the sooner the better."

"Yes, Rongcheng, China."

She hung up the phone as soon as she finished speaking, without uttering a single unnecessary word.

Lu Qinglin returned home, and not long after, his special assistant Fang Zheng came over.

"Mr. Lu." The assistant's expression was somewhat grave.

“Our people found out that a group of people also entered Rongcheng this afternoon.”

Lu Qinglin asked, "Whose people are they?"

"It's Lei Bao, the former second-in-command of the Southern Gang."

The assistant reported.

"Back then, he lost the power struggle with Miss Nan and left with a group of people to start his own business. In recent years, he has been getting very close to several shady organizations in Country A. He is Miss Nan's mortal enemy."

Lu Qinglin paused for a moment as he took off his suit jacket.

He raised his eyes, his gaze deep and intense.

"They're keeping a close eye on us."

"Report any movement immediately."

"Secretly send some people to protect Nan Wan and Madam Tang's safety."

"Yes." Fang Zheng nodded.

The next day, in the conference room on the top floor of Tiannan Group.

On either side of the long table sat Nan Wan on one side and Lu Qinglin on the other.

The atmosphere was so cold it felt like ice crystals were falling.

Lu Qinglin's lawyer is giving a presentation using PowerPoint.

"...Based on the above points, we can assert our right to the Tang family's old house site from both procedural and logical standpoints."

"All Ms. Nan needs to do is sign this authorization letter as the homeowner and cooperate with our subsequent hearing."

After the lawyer finished speaking, he pushed a document in front of Nanwan.

Nanwan took the document, didn't even look at it, flipped directly to the last page, and signed her name.

"knew."

She put down her pen, stood up, and was about to leave.

"etc."

Lu Qinglin spoke, and he stood up as well.

He walked up to her in a few steps, reached out, and grabbed her wrist.

His palms were dry and warm, but his strength was so great that it was impossible to break free.

"What are you doing?" Nan Wan frowned, shook her hand, but couldn't shake it off.

"Come with me somewhere."

"I don't have time, let me go." Nan Wan's tone was very impatient.

Lu Qinglin stared at her, and a slight smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

"Want to fight?"

He lowered his voice, his words carrying a hint of provocative amusement.

"Can you beat me? Do you know the punishment for losing?"

Nan Wan froze.

She knew, of course, that she was no match for him.

Lu Qinglin didn't give her a chance to resist and pulled her outside.

The car sped along and finally stopped at the entrance of an old alley.

This is the old town of Fuzhou, with bluestone-paved roads and mottled walls on both sides, covered with vines.

Nan Wan was pulled out of the car by him, and when she looked at the familiar scene in front of her, she was stunned.

This is the place.

Many years ago, when she was in high school, she was ambushed in this alley by a few thugs on her way home from school.

They whistled and spoke frivolously as they approached her step by step.

She was terrified, but she pretended to be calm and stared at them.

Just as she was preparing to fight to the death, a young man in a white shirt walked towards her from the alley entrance against the light.

Without saying a word, he simply threw his schoolbag on the ground.

In no time at all, they beat those thugs so badly they ran away crying for their parents.

He picked up his schoolbag, dusted it off, and walked up to her.

Are you alright?

Sunlight fell on his face, highlighting his clean features and well-defined contours.

Nanwan's heart skipped a beat.

Five years later, the Lu family and the Tang family arranged a marriage.

The moment she saw Lu Qinglin in the restaurant, she was completely stunned.

The world is far too small.

It turns out that the hero she had always cherished in her heart was actually her arranged marriage partner.

He was actually the eldest son of the Lu family and the heir to the Lu Group.

She ate the meal absentmindedly, and halfway through, she made an excuse to go to the restroom.

Just as I reached the bathroom door, someone grabbed my wrist from behind.

She turned around and met Lu Qinglin's deep eyes.

The next second, the world spun around.

He actually pulled her directly into the men's restroom next door!

He locked the door from the inside.

He pressed her against the cold wall, his tall body completely enveloping her.

Nan Wan's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat.

She was about to curse when his kisses rained down on her.

With an undeniable force and a masculine passion.

Stimulate.

My heart fluttered again.

Clearly, he was in love with her and had waited for her for many years.

Later, they naturally fell in love and eventually got engaged.

"Why did you bring me here?" Nan Wan asked coldly.

She didn't have time to reminisce with him.

Lu Qinglin suddenly took her hand.

His palms were dry yet warm, and carried an irresistible force.

He took her hand and led her through a narrow alley.

At the end of the alley, the view suddenly opened up.

A white three-story building stands quietly.

Red roses climbed wildly all over the building, even filling the garden, and the air was filled with their rich fragrance.

Nan Wan was completely stunned and stood frozen in place.

This is……

This is the dream home she once drew in a sketchbook!

Even the crooked tree at the entrance is exactly the same.

Lu Qinglin stepped forward and pressed a button on the combination lock.

The door opened.

"Come in and have a look."

He turned around and said to her.

Nan Wan's feet seemed to be rooted to the spot, and she couldn't move them at all.

She turned abruptly and turned to leave this place that made her feel uneasy.

The next second.

Lu Qinglin rushed to her, stretched out his arm, and picked her up in his arms.

His aura instantly enveloped her, carrying a familiar sense of aggression.

"Let me go, Lu Qinglin, what are you doing?"

She struggled fiercely in his arms, pounding her fists against his strong chest.

"Don't force me to take action!"

The man's deep warning rang in her ears.

Nanwan paused in his actions.

If she weren't afraid of hurting the baby in her womb, she would have been very rude to him long ago.

Lu Qinglin completely ignored her resistance and carried her into the house.

The interior design of the room made her gasp for breath.

They were all in her favorite minimalist creamy style.

The paintings hanging on the wall were works by her favorite painter, Van Bass, and each one was priceless.

He carried her across the living room and gently placed her on the huge white jade dining table.

She sat on the cool tabletop, at a height where he could look her in the eye.

His large hand encircled her waist to prevent her from falling.

This pose is both ambiguous and full of control.

"Lu Qinglin, what exactly do you want?"

Nan Wan's anger had reached its peak; her eyes could kill.

Lu Qinglin raised his hand and gently brushed away a strand of hair from her cheek with his fingertips.

His movements were very light, but his eyes were frighteningly deep.

"Nan Wan, you aborted our child."

"Consider this a debt I owed you in the past, and let's call it even."

He paused, his gaze fixed on her.

"I want to start over with you now."

"This is the dream home I built for you. I want you to have another child with me."

He spoke with such seriousness and deep emotion.

It was as if all the previous harm had never happened.

When he returned, he truly hated her to the core.

But once you look into it, you can find out the hardships she has endured over the years, how she survived amidst gunfire.

His heart softened again.

He wanted her to fall in love with him again and willingly return to his side.

Nanwan was almost amused by his absurd logic.

"Are you crazy? I could never..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Lu Qinglin grabbed the back of her head with his large hand and kissed her lips fiercely.

“Lu… um…”

He swallowed all the protests.

His large hand on her waist suddenly tightened, forcing her forward and pressing her tightly against his burning embrace.

Her legs landed perfectly on either side of his waist.

This position provided him with excellent accessibility...
