"It's nothing, you'll know when we went to Aunt Yu's house for lunch." This was the first time Jiang Mingjing had seen Lu Chen so angry. It wasn't the kind of anger where he spoke loudly, but the kind where his aura was terrifyingly suffocating.

This morning, while taking the children for a walk, I ran into Lu Chen. His expression was terrifying; it was the first time I'd ever seen him like that, during the soldiers' training sessions.

When Li Jiasheng saw that expression, he was so frightened that he hid behind Jiang Mingjing, which shows how terrifying it was.

Shen Qiaoyue thought it probably wasn't a big deal.

Until lunchtime.

"What? Lu He said she's getting married?" Shen Qiaoyue was sitting on a stool. With the New Year almost over, Yu Qingce and Xu Tiande suddenly said that Xu Feiming and Lu He had discussed it and would apply for marriage after the New Year.

When Shen Qiaoyue heard this sentence, she was completely surprised.

Yu Qingce and Xu Tiande were the happiest, laughing and saying, "That's right, Fei Ming called us last night to say he wanted to marry Lu He. He called back to discuss it with us. It's Chinese New Year, and both families are here, so we discussed the issue of the bride price and came up with a suitable solution."

This meal today is not simple.

Lu Chen sat to one side without saying a word, his unhappiness visibly obvious.

Seeing Lu Chen's expression, Shen Qiaoyue realized what was happening and reached out to tug at Lu Chen's arm.

Lu Chen's expression softened slightly after his wife's hint.

Jiang Jinyao and Jiang Minghe were unaware of the situation and thought it was just a normal discussion about marriage.

"They've been dating for several months, so it's normal for them to talk about marriage. The main question is what the two kids are thinking?" Jiang Minghe asked, looking at Lu Chen and Jiang Mingjing.

Jiang Mingjing said, "Marriage is a good thing. It depends on what Lu He thinks. Lu He has already told Lu Chen."

He threw the question back at Lu Chen.

Lu Chen looked at everyone. He had finished his training as usual in the morning, and Lu He had transferred the call to him.

Sweating profusely, Lu Chen answered the phone.

"Hello, is this Lu Chen?" Lu Chen answered the phone while panting.

When Lu He heard her brother's voice on the phone in Beijing, she said, "Brother, it's me, Lu He."

Upon hearing Lu He's voice, Lu Chen happily replied, "Lu He, Happy New Year! How are you doing in the army?"

Hearing her brother's concern, Lu He subconsciously looked up at Xu Feiming.

Seeing that Lu He didn't speak, Lu Chen asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Did you suffer some injustice?"

"No, brother, I want to tell you something. You can tell Jiang's father about it later."

As soon as Lu He finished speaking, the smile on Lu Chen's face slowly disappeared.

Men understand men best; this must have happened during their youth.

In the very next second!

"Brother, I plan to marry Fei Ming as soon as possible. If you have no objections, we... after the New Year... will... get our marriage certificate." Lu He didn't mention that the marriage application had already been submitted. After the New Year, once Xu Fei Ming's direct supervisor signs it, they can go to register once the Civil Affairs Bureau is open.

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

"Brother, are you listening?"

"Do you have to be in such a hurry? You've only met a few times since you confirmed your relationship?" Lu Chen asked again.

Feeling guilty, Lu He looked up at Xu Feiming. The moment their eyes met, Xu Feiming also became nervous.

The biggest obstacle right now is Lu Chen. If Lu Chen doesn't agree, no one else dares to speak up.

Lu He pursed her lips and said, "Brother, I like Fei Ming, and I want to get married as soon as possible."

"Have you two taken your relationship to the next level?" Lu Chen pressed directly.

Lu He felt guilty and couldn't answer.

The veins on Lu Chen's face throbbed visibly. He clenched his fists. If they weren't on the phone, he would have asked Lu He what he was thinking.

"Brother, it was my own initiative, it has nothing to do with Fei Ming." Lu He didn't hear Lu Chen's voice, but she could sense her brother's anger. Afraid that Lu Chen would object, she quickly said these words.

Xu Feiming reached out to take the phone and take responsibility for the mistake.

Lu He stopped Xu Feiming and said to Lu Chen, who was silent on the phone, "Brother, you've learned about Feiming from Jiang's father and Aunt Yu. You like your sister-in-law, and you can't help yourself in this situation. I can't control myself. Besides, we had already agreed to get married before this happened. I'm not impulsive. So... please agree to our marriage?"

Lu He's last words sounded like a deflated plea as she finished speaking, then she pursed her lips, waiting for her brother to speak.

"You're getting bolder and bolder!" Lu Chen said angrily before hanging up.

When Lu He heard her brother hang up the phone, she looked up at Xu Feiming with a disappointed expression.

"It's okay, I'll call my parents and ask them to discuss the wedding arrangements at noon. Your brother is just too angry; he'll calm down once he's calmed down." Xu Feiming had already prepared himself for Lu Chen's repercussions; it was indeed because he hadn't controlled himself.

Lu He lowered her head in shame.

She was too impulsive, so it's understandable that her brother was angry.

“If you really disagree, I will personally go to your brother to admit my mistake during the New Year. After all, it was my fault.”

After the incident, things were going well, and he could imagine what Lu Chen's expression would be when he found out. He had long been prepared to face Lu Chen.

"It's okay. I'll call your brother tonight and apologize to him. As long as you apologize sincerely, your brother definitely won't be angry."

Seeing that Lu He's expression wasn't very happy, it must be because Lu Chen's words made her nervous.
