At this moment, Yun Wanqing said coldly, "What? They're all faking it. Dongjue and my sister's marriage is fake."
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but sneer. Yun Wanqing was better off not saying anything; she had already embarrassed herself enough by kneeling just now.
Now, in order to vent her anger, she's even spreading rumors. Who's going to listen to her?
Even Song Youyou thought she was an idiot for saying such a thing in this situation, especially to Lu Dongjue.
How many marriages between wealthy families are truly based on love? They're often just an accumulation of wealth.
How come she didn't realize Yun Wanqing was so stupid before?
**
Lu Dongjue led Yun Suiwan to the lounge.
After entering the room, Lu Dongjue coldly sized her up, "You have quite the temper, daring to make a scene in front of so many people."
Yun Suiwan chuckled lightly, "Do you think I'm just an honest person who can be bullied by everyone?"
"At least that's how you used to be."
"That was because I was stupid before."
Upon hearing this, Lu Dongjue frowned. "What good will it do you to cause trouble here?"
"At least I can stand up for myself, and no one will dare to bully me easily in the future."
Why are they bullying you?
Yun Suiwan looked at him coldly, "A woman is bullied simply because she has a useless man."
"..."
This woman always speaks with a barbed tongue.
"Nonsense! Why did you bully Yun Wanqing in public? She's your sister."
Yun Suiwan glanced coldly at Lu Dongjue. So he knew that Lu Dongjue had bullied Yun Wanqing, which was why he rushed to the rescue.
"Hehe, Lu Dongjue, aren't you very powerful? Why did our affair get out? Or is it that you're only powerful when it comes to me?" Yun Suiwan asked instead of answering.
Lu Dongjue hadn't expected things to turn out this way.
“Even my servants make fun of me about this. Why do you think those people bully me? Even Yun Wanqing stabbed me in the back in public. I splashed water on her, which was too good for her.”
"she……"
"We've worked so hard to protect the reputation of the Lu and Yun families, but she slandered me and made fun of me in front of everyone. Do you think I should throw something at her?" Yun Suiwan asked seriously, her face tense.
Should!
However, Lu Dongjue did not say these words aloud. He only said, "She is just a child. You don't need to take it to heart."
"She's the same age as me, we're both kids, how did you treat me?"
Yun Suiwan's question left Lu Dongjue speechless.
Lu Dongjue looked at her and saw that Yun Suiwan's gaze was firm and unwavering; she seemed to be looking for an answer from him.
“Yun Suiwan, now that we’re getting married, I’ll let bygones be bygones. You won’t be staying in the Yun family anymore, so you just need to be kind to Yun Wanqing. She’s been abroad for three years and has endured all the hardships she could, so there’s no need for you to hold onto her.”
"Oh? You're pleading for her? Fine, I'll accept that favor. You owe me one today."
"You..." What a sharp-tongued woman, she certainly knows how to back down gracefully.
Lu Dongjue looked at her and felt increasingly unfamiliar with her. In his memory, she was not good with words and was gentle and kind. How could she be so sharp and sarcastic now?
Every time he utters a sentence, he leaves people speechless.
"Why are you holding this banquet? To announce our relationship to everyone?" Yun Suiwan asked.
She thought to herself that Lu Dongjue was making a completely unnecessary effort.
"no."
"What?"
"Your dress is ready, go change into it," Lu Dongjue replied, seemingly ignoring the question.
“I have my own.” She wouldn’t listen to him.
"That dress is a set with mine."
Yun Suiwan looked at him with some confusion. What was he doing?
At this moment, two waitresses came in. "Miss Yun, this way please. We'll accompany you to change into your dress."
Yun Suiwan glanced at Lu Dongjue again, but she didn't say anything and followed the waiters into the inner room.
Ten minutes later, Yun Suiwan appeared in a sky-blue brocade dress.
The off-shoulder design perfectly showcases her shoulders and neck.
Lu Dongjue walked over, and Yun Suiwan then noticed that the tie around his neck was made from the fabric of her dress. His suit also had some subtle patterns.
The color of my tie matches your tuxedo, creating an inexplicable ambiguity.
Lu Dongjue nodded, seemingly quite satisfied.
"Let's go." With that, he extended his hand to Yun Suiwan.
Yun Suiwan was somewhat unaccustomed to his gentlemanly demeanor.
She didn't reach out her hand, but simply walked up to him and asked, "What do you want to do tonight?"
Lu Dongjue took her hand, and Yun Suiwan stiffened, instinctively rejecting him.
Her action displeased Lu Dongjue.
The more she resisted, the more he wanted to force her.
"If you want to save face for the Yun family and for yourself, you'd better listen to me."
Then he added, "I like obedient women."
Yun Suiwan gently pulled her hand away from his, "I like considerate men!"
"Oh, that's me."
After saying that, Lu Dongjue led her outside.
His domineering demeanor made Yun Suiwan very uncomfortable. The conflict between them made it impossible for them to get along like ordinary couples.
"You're squeezing me too hard." With that, Yun Suiwan broke free from his grip.
A cold glint appeared between Lu Dongjue's brows; his patience was running out.
This woman always manages to find something to make him angry.
Lu Dongjue pulled her over and pinned her against the wall.
"Yun Suiwan, don't force me," Lu Dongjue said in a deep voice.
Yun Suiwan looked directly at him without fear, "Lu Dongjue, we are equals, and I don't like being forced by you."
“Yun Suiwan, this is my territory now. You have to put up with it whether you like it or not.”
See? This is Lu Dongjue's true face: domineering and rude.
"Who do you think you are? I won't stand for this!"
Looking at her defiant attitude...
Lu Dongjue suddenly released her hand.
"Fine, if you don't want to suffer, then leave. Yun Suiwan, let me tell you, once you leave this room, your rotten reputation in City A will be cemented."
"Are you threatening me?"
Lu Dongjue shrugged indifferently, "Isn't this your forte?"
That bastard!
Yun Suiwan was so angry she wanted to bite the guy to death!
Lu Dongjue leaned closer to her, "Yun Suiwan, do you know how important reputation is to a woman in this society? If I have more women, people will only say I'm capable. But if you have more men, people will only say you're lewd and promiscuous."
"you!"
Yun Suiwan glared angrily at Lu Dongjue.
She was angry, but it was the truth.
"So, don't make me angry. If we cooperate, it will be beneficial for both of us."
“Lu Dongjue, if I had known you were such a bastard, I would have…” Yun Suiwan stared at him hatefully.
"What?"
I will never fall in love with him!
Yun Suiwan snorted coldly and ignored him.
However, she couldn't let Lu Dongjue have his way.
"Lu Dongjue, no one knows about your strange illness, right?"
"..."
What do you want to do?
He got nervous.
Yun Suiwan smiled faintly, "I'm not doing anything, I'm just reminding you that even a rabbit will bite when cornered."
Lu Dongjue suddenly grabbed her shoulder and pinned her against the wall again. "Yun Suiwan, how dare you?"
And this time—
"Pop!"
Yun Suiwan took the initiative and kissed him directly on the cheek.
As if electrocuted, Lu Dongjue quickly released her.
"you!"
Yun Suiwan tilted her head and looked at him smugly, "Don't mess with me."
