Lu Family Residence Celebration Day
Every year's celebration day is noisy and lively. Even in the residential area of the dignitaries in the First Star District, one can hear music, laughter, and the roar of fireworks blooming in the sky from afar.
The air is filled with the warmth and joy that is unique to festive celebrations.
However, at this moment, Ning Jiayi's face was ashen.
He was almost angrily yelling at the butler who was trying to persuade him through the communicator: "...I don't give a fuck. Today is the most important day for me, but those damn designers and jewelers only sent some assistants to deal with me?"
"...Don't say that these people are experienced, I only want the best!"
"…Why should I make an appointment in advance? They should have known who they were going to serve when they saw my order address! It's so abominable. They even dared to humiliate me, saying that those designers had other big customers to serve. How come I didn't know who would be their big customer in the future than the Lu family."
"I'm so angry. These people are just humiliating me because I don't have time to argue with them today. Let them wait. After tonight, I will let these people wait and see--"
Ning Jiayi hung up the phone angrily and came to the room at the end of the corridor.
He took a deep breath in front of the door, and it took him a long time to adjust his expression and tone. He then straightened his clothes and finally pushed the door open and walked in.
The light in the room was very dim. The sun had already set below the horizon, leaving only a faint golden red glow on the sky, but the lights in the room were not on.
The heavy curtains were always drawn tightly, and only a dim night light was on next to the sofa in the corner of the room.
The dim light made the skinny young man sitting on the sofa look somewhat scary. There were two dark shadows under his brows, like deep wells.
Lu Zhizhao's aura was very cold and he was very silent, but Ning Jiayi had almost gotten used to his abnormality these days. After all, according to Lu Zhengen, Lu Zhizhao's mental power was so strong that he had suffered a mental shock before, and he was still in the recovery period, so it was normal for him to behave differently from before.
not to mention……
Lu Zhizhao is about to marry him.
Ning Jiayi knew very well that his childhood sweetheart must be in a bad mood after finally succumbing to Lu Zhengen's coercion.
But so what? Ning Jiayi unconsciously stroked his lower abdomen, then gave an order, and the whole room was instantly shrouded in bright and soft light.
"Why don't you turn on the light? It's so dark... Ah, Zhao, so you are ready?"
Ning Jiayi looked towards Lu Zhizhao as he spoke.
Then I found that Lu Zhizhao was already wearing formal clothes, obviously ready for the golden night tonight.
This made the smile on Ning Jiayi's lips more sincere. He came in front of Lu Zhizhao and made a circle.
"Look at my dress. How is it? This is the dress I ordered from Blue Nightingale a long time in advance. I was planning to wear it on the day I successfully differentiated, but I didn't expect to use it in advance. It looks good, right?" Omega said, his face getting a little gloomy. "But I'm still very angry today. Blue Nightingale claims to be the top private tailor in the entire Earth Alliance, but the service is terrible. These people were so angry when they saw the Lu family's order before that they surrounded us like dogs. This time, they all sent assistants. If I didn't know they didn't dare to look down on the Lu family, I would have thought they were deliberately making things difficult."
Under Ning Jiayi's control, even his complaints were filled with the dissatisfaction and grievance unique to teenagers. Combined with his slender and petite figure and that handsome Omega face, it was enough to arouse any alpha's natural desire to protect Omega.
However, Lu Zhizhao looked very indifferent.
He didn't even look at Ning Jiayi, he just checked the time, then stood up: "It's time. The hovercraft is waiting downstairs."
He said.
"We should go now."
The tone is flat, without ups and downs.
Seeing Lu Zhizhao's reaction, Ning Jiayi's mouth tightened.
Although he was finally able to marry Lu Zhizhao, he didn't know why these days, but he always felt that all his plans were going very wrong. Either all the top designers were absent from his makeup design, or the top jewelry accessories he wanted to buy were already reserved by someone else.
The accumulated frustrations made him a little impatient, and he even couldn't bear to continue coaxing Lu Zhizhao.
However, after a few breaths, Ning Jiayi skillfully adjusted his dissatisfaction.
He came over and gently pulled Lu Zhizhao's sleeve.
"You've been in a bad mood recently, and I know that the person you like is Brother Su Liang." As he spoke, Ning Jiayi sighed, then he grabbed Lu Zhizhao's hand and pressed the other's palm on his abdomen.
"Actually, I know that I am sorry to Brother Su Liang, but no matter what, it is unlikely that you and I will ever go back to the way we were before. For the sake of this child, we should at least go through the marriage process. You can think of me as being selfish, but I really just hope that our two children will have a father when they are born..."
"When all this is over, go find Brother Su Liang. I won't stop you."
He said this tolerantly and generously.
However, the next second, Ning Jiayi saw Lu Zhizhao quickly pulled his hand back as if he had touched charcoal fire. His movements were too fast and too impatient, almost causing Ning Jiayi to fall to the ground.
"Ah Zhao?!"
Ning Jiayi let out a panicked cry and quickly held onto the chair to steady himself.
He looked at Lu Zhizhao in surprise, having never expected the other party to be so rude.
However, the alpha, who was always gentle and easy to fool in memory, did not give any explanation for the other party's rough behavior.
even……
For a moment, the look Lu Zhizhao gave Ning Jiayi made the latter feel a little scared.
It was like a sinister look that wanted to kill someone.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Ning Jiayi asked in a low voice, and this time there was a hint of panic in his tone that he himself did not even notice.
"Since you also know that the person I like from beginning to end is Su Liang, then don't mention him in front of me."
Lu Zhizhao looked at Ning Jiayi steadily. After a moment, he suddenly grinned and smiled at the young man.
"...I will feel very, very uncomfortable."
He said.
After saying that, Lu Zhizhao was the first to leave the room.
Looking at the door slamming shut, Ning Jiayi stood there for a long while, and then his expression gradually became ferocious.
He could no longer control his emotions and grabbed the expensive decorations in the room and smashed them to the ground.
"Die—die die die—"
Ning Jiayi kept cursing.
However, he didn't know whether the person he wanted to curse madly was Su Liang, who always stood between him and Lu Zhizhao, or... Lu Zhizhao himself.
But soon, Ning Jiayi stopped all movements in front of the mirror in the room. He looked at the boy's reflection in the mirror, and his breathing gradually calmed down.
The Omega in the mirror had a beautiful face, an elegant dress, and expensive accessories. His outfit was too grand even for the Golden Night, but it was just right for an engagement ceremony.
Yes, after tonight, everyone will know that Ning Jiayi will be Lu Zhizhao’s official partner and the person who will stand by the side of the head of the Lu family in the future.
"I won, Brother Su Liang."
Ning Jiayi looked at himself in the mirror and said softly.
After that, no matter how much Lu Zhizhao liked Su Liang, that beta would always, always be a mistress who was not allowed to appear in public.
He had long lost the ability to compete with Ning Jiayi for Lu Zhizhao.
Thinking of this, Ning Jiayi smiled and then turned and left the room.
…
The luxurious hovercraft carried Ning Jiayi and Lu Zhizhao to the banquet venue, the Grand Commander's Mansion in the First Star District.
As night falls, the sky has turned a gorgeous deep purple, and countless fireworks bloom in the night sky, shining brightly and dazzlingly.
The hovercraft was not flying at a high altitude. Ning Jiayi only had to lower his head to see the eager and admiring eyes of the civilians below as they looked up at the hovercraft.
This made his extremely depressed mood slightly better, and this feeling of joy reached its climax when he actually arrived at the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion.
"Look, it's the Lu family's car..."
"Patriarch Lu has already gotten off the car, which means that Young Master Lu must be in this car. Ahhhh, I like him so much!"
"Wait a minute... the person who got off the car wasn't Young Master Lu, right? That was an Omega? Is he from the Lu family?"
"Wow, my God, how could it be Ning Jiayi?! Ning Jiayi actually got out of the Lu family's car!"
"Wait, is this true? They have such a good relationship..."
"That's funny. Do you really think that you can get off the same car just because you have a good relationship? This is a golden night! Have you ever thought about what this means? Oh my God, I always feel that something extraordinary will happen tonight..."
…
Ning Jiayi turned around and saw the people surrounded outside the electronic light fence.
Unlike people like him who received invitations, those people can only stay within the prescribed scope and can never actually enter the Grand Commander's Mansion.
Those people could only watch as the dignitaries got off the car, then walked slowly up the pure white steps, and finally entered the golden gate of the commander's mansion.
People's enthusiastic gazes and cheers made Ning Jiayi's mood, which had been gloomy all day, unusually bright.
He smiled and waved at the group of people from a distance. Then he turned around and looked at Lu Zhizhao, who had not yet gotten off the car, with great eagerness.
The person who should have gotten off the bus first was still sitting on it.
"A Zhao, it's time to get off the bus"
Ning Jiayi reminded without letting his smile fade.
It was several seconds before he saw Lu Zhizhao turn his head. The look in his eyes when he looked at Ning Jiayi was still a little strange.
Ning Jiayi's hair stood on end, and he almost thought that Lu Zhizhao was going to have a tantrum again.
However, the other party got out of the car obediently.
Several spherical floating camera robots flew over quickly, and the black lenses were almost sticking to Ning Jiayi's face. This is the device that the Ning family and the Lu family specially prepared for the announcement of this marriage. With them, everything that happens between Lu Zhizhao and Ning Jiayi tonight will be broadcast simultaneously to everyone in the Earth Alliance.
Ning Jiayi immediately showed his most sweet smile, and felt more and more satisfied with the arrangements for tonight.
Under the camera robot's lens, the Omega and Alpha seemed to be getting along so intimately. They walked up the famous white stairs together, walked step by step into the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion, and entered the magnificent banquet hall.
There are fireworks flashing in the night sky, and behind me are the cheering crowds. Everything is so perfect...
However, after entering the banquet hall, Ning Jiayi's smile froze slightly.
The golden night at the Grand Commander's Mansion was as luxurious and extravagant as ever. Hidden beneath the gorgeous velvet curtain was a huge antique ceramic vase that was taller than two people. A huge bouquet of flowers was adorned with golden branches and jeweled flowers. A huge crystal chandelier like a work of art hung under the curved dome, and every beam of light appeared bright and shining because of the refraction of the crystal. The specially designed projection device made tiny golden shadows shine in the air, as if this was no longer the real world, but an ancient magic hall...
Everything is the same as before, but "same" is the biggest problem.
According to the original design, this golden night is full of wedding-related decoration elements. Ning Jiayi still remembers that he spent a long time selecting the design drawings. They were specially sent to Ning Jiayi for review by the interior designer of the Grand Commander's Mansion in order to please the Lu family.
But now, Ning Jiayi didn't find any wedding-related elements in the hall at all.
It was as if this was just another ordinary golden night.
If there wasn't a camera next to him filming him continuously, Ning Jiayi would almost be unable to maintain the expression on his face.
Maybe it was a damn oversight.
Ning Jiayi said to himself in his heart.
He will give those people a hard time later. Moreover, even if he doesn't hold the Lu and Ning families accountable, he will not tolerate such a big oversight.
With Ning Jiayi's constant self-persuasion, the Golden Night proceeded in an orderly manner.
Just like before, the commander-in-chief gave his usual speech and then, as always, gave the microphone to Lu Zhengen, the head of the Lu family.
Ning Jiayi's eyes widened slightly as he watched the slightly plump middle-aged man walk up to the platform step by step.
He looked at Lu Zhengen with joy, his heartbeat quickening little by little, and he couldn't even hear the man's prelude.
Before that, he even took the time to check out StarNet, which was now full of speculations about him getting off the Lu family's hovercraft. Needless to say, everyone has already felt it vaguely.
The engagement between the Ning family and the Lu family is a foregone conclusion.
Perhaps influenced by the speculation and discussions on Starnet, Ning Jiayi even felt that everyone's eyes were on him. The banquet hall, which should have been quiet, became a little noisy at this moment.
The dignitaries and high-ranking officials who used to pay the most attention to etiquette seemed to have suddenly forgotten about manners. They began to whisper to each other.
The more they speculated and the more they paid attention to Ning Jiayi, the faster Ning Jiayi's heart beat.
He suppressed his smile and waited quietly for the moment when his marriage to Lu Zhizhao would be announced.
All the preparations and disguises over the years have been for today.
But precisely because he was too excited, he did not notice that Lu Zhengen, who was speaking on the stage, looked a little pale today, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat. The complacent Lu family's acting patriarch, now standing on the stage, looked like an elementary school student who was forced to be praised in front of everyone.
"...Next, let me be very honored to announce to everyone... Ning Jiayi and Lu Zhizhao will become an official couple..."
The noise in the hall grew louder and louder, even drowning out Lu Zhengen's engagement announcement on the stage. Almost no one paid attention to what Lu Zhengen said on the stage.
It was not until this time that Ning Jiayi finally realized that something seemed to be wrong.
He looked around in astonishment and discovered that the floating cameras that had been circling him like flies had quietly left his area and gathered at the entrance of the hall.
“How…what’s going on?”
Ning Jiayi's expression gradually stiffened.
But no one answered him.
Not only were the cameras focused on the entrance to the hall, in fact, at this moment, everyone's attention was focused there.
Ning Jiayi turned his head following everyone's gaze.
In his astonished sight, the incredibly handsome tall man was looking down as he carefully embraced the young man beside him and walked into the hall step by step.
…
“Ka—”
Then, Ning Jiayi heard a crisp sound of glass breaking.
That was the noise made by Lu Zhizhao who was beside him, who accidentally dropped the wine glass next to him.
The author has something to say:
Lu Zhizhao: Pupils tremble.
