Just as Lu Dongjue was about to leave, he heard a commotion outside.

Yun Suiwan's expression changed. She quickly sat up, clutching her suit jacket tightly, and asked fearfully, "Who's here?"

Lu Dongjue frowned slightly. At this point in time, the only people who could find this place were—

“Lu Dongjue…” Yun Suiwan called his name in a trembling voice.

Lu Dongjue glanced at her, then strode over to her. Before Yun Suiwan could react, Lu Dongjue bent down and picked her up.

Yun Suiwan stared at him with wide eyes, "What are you doing?"

Just then, an old man's voice came from outside the door, "Dongjue, it's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Yun Suiwan's heart jumped. She instinctively clung tightly to Lu Dongjue's chest and asked in a hoarse voice, "What should we do?"

She didn't want Grandpa Lu to see her in such a disheveled state.

Feeling her trembling, Lu Dongjue hugged her tightly. He frowned and said in a deep voice, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Upon hearing this, Yun Suiwan looked at Lu Dongjue with some surprise.

At this moment, Lu Dongjue shouted loudly, "Grandpa, come in by yourself. No one else is allowed to come in."

After a moment, an elderly man dressed in a Zhongshan suit, leaning on a dragon-headed cane, with gray hair but a vigorous spirit, walked in.

"Grandpa Lu..." Yun Suiwan felt extremely embarrassed at this moment, being held by Lu Dongjue like this.

Grandpa Lu had a serious face, but when he saw his grandson and Yun'er's posture, his expression immediately became kind.

"You brat, I thought you skipped your engagement party."

Yun Suiwan gently tugged at Lu Dongjue's sleeve and whispered, "Put me down."

Lu Dongjue looked at her coldly, "Can you stand still?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Yun Suiwan blushed instantly.

Seeing the young couple so affectionate, Grandpa Lu felt very comforted. He had originally planned to catch the brat and give him a good scolding, but now he thought he would soon be able to hold his great-grandson.

"Yun girl, did Dongjue bully you?" Old Master Lu's voice was so soft, full of affection.

Yun Suiwan forced a smile and said, "Grandpa, I... I didn't..."

"Good child, good child, I'm sorry you've suffered. Don't worry, Grandpa promises to make sure you get your dignity back in the future."

“Uh…” Yun Suiwan didn’t understand what the old man meant.

Before she could say anything more, Old Master Lu said to Lu Dongjue with a stern face, "You brat, come out here, I have something to say to you."

Then, Old Master Lu said to Yun Suiwan with a kind expression, "Yun girl, take good care of yourself."

"..."

After saying that, the old man went out, leaning on his cane.

Lu Dongjue hadn't expected his grandfather to stay up all night and block him here.

He put Yun Suiwan back on the sofa, and just as he was about to leave, Yun Suiwan grabbed his sleeve.

She tilted her head back, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, her haggard face making her look incredibly pitiful.

"What are you worried about?" Lu Dongjue asked.

Yun Suiwan pursed her lips, "Don't make Grandpa angry."

Lu Dongjue gave her a deep look but didn't say anything.

After he went out, he saw that Old Master Lu was standing in the middle of the courtyard with his back to him, and bodyguards lined up on both sides.

"Grandpa." Lu Dongjue bowed his head and respectfully approached the old man.

When Grandpa Lu saw his grandson, he was furious and then saw him swing his cane at him.

"Hiss..." A tap on the arm with a cane is no joke.

"Grandpa, how come you have so much energy and spirit in the middle of the night?" Lu Dongjue rubbed his arm and said in a silly manner.

"You brat, if you hadn't messed around, would I have come out in the middle of the night? You're about to get engaged, and you can't even control yourself?"

Lu Dongjue remained silent in the face of his grandfather's reprimand.

"Do you even know that today is your engagement banquet, such a joyous day, and the bride and groom can't be found? Are you deliberately trying to embarrass the Lu family?" Old Master Lu got angry as soon as he mentioned this. His grandson was getting on in years, yet he was doing such irresponsible things.

Fortunately, he was with Yun Suiwan; otherwise, he would have been furious.

"Grandpa, something unexpected happened, and I was just about to tell you."

"Dongjue, are you having an attack?" Old Master Lu suddenly asked loudly.

Lu Dongjue paused for a moment, then nodded.

Grandpa Lu immediately patted Lu Dongjue's arm excitedly, "Then you and Yun girl..." The old man was too embarrassed to continue asking.

Lu Dongjue frowned. "Grandpa, I will take responsibility for her."

"Good lad, you truly live up to the reputation of the Lu family, you have a sense of responsibility!"

Lu Dongjue didn't finish his sentence: he would take responsibility for Yun Suiwan and ensure her a comfortable and peaceful life in the future, but he would not marry her.

"Kid, do you know? We members of the Lu family will only love one woman in our lives. This woman is the one who can make you sick and also cure your illness."

“Grandpa…” Lu Dongjue didn’t want to listen to these lies. How could a person love only one person in their entire life?

"Bring Yun to our house tomorrow. Since the engagement didn't happen, it means that God wants you to get married directly, which will save us trouble."

"grandfather!"

Grandpa Lu immediately raised his hand to stop him from speaking, "Dongjue, you are a man. Quite a few people probably know about you and Yun'er. If you don't marry her, with Yun'er's status, who else do you think she can marry? Do you want her to be pointed at and gossiped about for the rest of her life?"

In a daze, Lu Dongjue saw Yun Suiwan biting her lip, looking at him pitifully.

Suddenly, he felt a tightness in his chest.

Grandpa Lu patted his shoulder, "Young man, take on the responsibilities you should have. Your grandpa's health is getting worse and worse, and I don't know if I'll be able to hold my grandson before I die."

"grandfather……"

"Alright, my body can't take it anymore. You go inside and keep Yun company. Girls are always vulnerable at times like this. You're a man, you have to protect your woman. Remember that?"

Lu Dongjue lowered his head, his brows furrowed, his emotions a mix of feelings, but in the end he nodded.

Even though Yun Suiwan is wicked, she is still just a woman. If word gets out about tonight's events and he breaks off the engagement with her, her reputation will be ruined...

As if possessed, he didn't want to see Yun Suiwan looking so pitiful.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I will marry her."

"Yes, he truly is a good grandson of Grandpa. Alright, let's go back now, I'm going back too."

"Um."

"You few stay here and protect the young master and young mistress. Don't let outsiders disturb them."

"yes!"

After giving his instructions, Old Master Lu left with his group of bodyguards.

Lu Dongjue looked at the few bodyguards who remained, but he didn't say anything and went straight back into the house.
