Chapter 678: Stuttering When Nervous
His fist, as big as a bowl, was ready to strike. This blow, filled with fatherly love, was no less powerful than Miss Du's. If it hit hard, it would surely break Lu Yunjue's bones.
Fortunately, Mrs. Du stopped her husband in time.
However, her expression was also very cold: "Second Young Master, I believe you have heard it just now, right? Why don't you return the hydrangea quickly."
Hearing this, Lu Yunjue subconsciously hugged the hydrangea in his arms tightly. He was so nervous that he even stuttered when speaking: "No, I won't give it back!"
"Damn it! Madam, please don't stop me. I think he is here to cause trouble." Mr. Du was furious and had decided to teach this little bastard a lesson.
Lu Yunjue said nervously: "No, it's not like that, father-in-law——"
He realized his slip of the tongue and suddenly shut his mouth, his face full of regret.
Master Du was on the verge of a rage. No matter what he said, he thought he was provoking him: "You bastard, who the hell is your father-in-law? Show me some respect. I'm your grandfather!"
Madam Du also accused him, "Lu Yunjue, our Du family has already given you enough respect. Why are you so persistent? Do you think my daughter is someone you can toy around with at will, calling her over and dismissing her at will?"
"I, I absolutely did not mean that." Lu Yunjue gritted his teeth and knelt on one knee. "Yun Jue is not good at speaking, so please calm down and listen to me."
Miss Du opened her eyes wide as he knelt on her knees.
She twisted her fingers in her hair and suddenly felt that things were getting interesting.
However, her attitude did not soften at all. Instead, she asked angrily, "It was clearly you who refused the marriage first. Today, you snatched the bouquet and knelt before me. I dare not accept this gift. Tell me, what do you want to do?"
The more anxious Lu Yunjue became, the dumber his words became: "I... I..."
Although he was so nervous that his face turned red, Miss Du didn't believe that he became like this because of nervousness.
After all, when Lu Yunjue rejected her, he spoke very fluently.
"We, the children of the martial arts world, have never been particular about trivial matters." She shook out the soft sword again, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at Lu Yunjue's chin.
She forced him to look up and look her in the eyes.
The gentle and graceful temperament in the past seemed to have turned murderous in an instant.
Back then, when Du Xiaoqin was not forced to engage in blind dates, she was a well-known female villain in Qingzhou City.
The reason she was able to subdue so many disciples of the Du family was all thanks to the long sword in her hand.
Perhaps her martial arts skills are indeed not as good as Lu Yunjue's, but judging from her aura alone, she is not inferior to him at all.
It was precisely because of this that she left behind a great reputation, making ordinary men afraid to marry her.
In the past, she listened to Madam Du's words, so she pretended to be gentle and graceful, but now that Lu Yunjue has decided to be a heartless man, she doesn't need to save any face for him.
Just when they looked at each other, she couldn't help but feel her heart beating fast.
The rare fiery intensity in those familiar eyes made her want to dodge.
For some reason, ordinary men would not be able to avoid such a Miss Du, but Lu Yunjue only felt his heart pounding, and the beating of his heart was like the beat of a drum.
His voice was soft but firm: "If I tell you that I want to marry you now, would you still be willing?"
Miss Du gripped her sword tightly: "What did you say?"
Lu Yunjue didn't care about anyone's gaze at this moment. He said in a resounding voice, "Miss Du, I want to ask you to marry me!"
"Clang!" The sword in Miss Du's hand fell to the ground.
Hu Xin'er was in the carriage, anxious as an ant on a hot pan: "Oh, why is Yun Jue so bad at talking? Why does he stumble at the critical moment?"
Mu Qing supported his wife because Hu Xiner was injured.
A faint smile appeared on his face: "It's okay, they should succeed like this... right?"
When he was halfway through his words, Master Du suddenly appeared out of nowhere and kicked Lu Yunjue off the attic with a sharp kick.
Everyone was stunned. What kind of operation was this?
Master Du snorted angrily, "Daughter, this kid is playing tricks on you, how can you easily agree to his offer? We've already agreed to a martial arts competition to win your hand in marriage! Why not let him fight offstage to test his sincerity?"
Miss Du held onto the railing and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that Lu Yunjue was not injured even though he fell to the ground.
The next moment, Lu Yunjue felt her gaze and gave her a bright smile.
It seemed that just with this eye contact, all the grudges between them disappeared.
He mouthed, "Don't worry, I will definitely win."
"Who wants to marry you?" Miss Du came to her senses and felt her cheeks burning. She quickly sat back in the chair and covered her head with the red veil again.
Mrs. Du hadn't recovered from this ups and downs yet: "Eh? How did this marriage happen?"
Ms. Du pretended to be calm, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up: "What's so strange about this? He was probably woken up by my scolding."
Mrs. Du was bewildered. "Oh—so he's the same blockhead as your father? Yes, yes, men should be scolded more often, otherwise their brains won't work."
She suddenly became worried again: "But daughter, when you have children in the future, will they also be as mentally retarded as him?"
"He's good-looking, isn't that enough?" Miss Du muttered. "Besides, he's talented, skilled in martial arts, has money, and doesn't have parents-in-law to serve."
Madam Du held her head and finally came to her senses. "Wait, aren't they leaving Qingzhou soon? How can they marry you?"
Miss Du was stunned. She had never thought about this question.
Instead, Master Du said in a gruff voice, "You two women have absolutely no sense at all! Since he's a live-in son-in-law, how can we let him go?"
He said viciously, "Besides, he bullies my daughter like this, and I haven't even agreed to have him be my son-in-law!"
Under the attic, Lu Yunjue glanced coldly at Zhao Yunxuan before going up to the ring.
Yin Li gloated: "Who told you to take someone else's bouquet? Now you're hated, right?"
Zhao Yunxuan smiled. "I was just trying to provoke him, so that the Second Young Master could see my true feelings. I believe that if Xin'er knew, she would be grateful to me."
Yin Li said suspiciously, "Do you think you can call me Xin'er? Shut up right now."
Zhao Yunxuan looked innocent: "I just called Madam Lu, didn't you hear it clearly?"
Yin Li was furious: "That's just nonsense. I knew you had bad intentions!"
Looking at Lu Yunjue who had already started fighting on the ring, Hu Xiner finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm afraid my return to Beijing will be delayed."
