Lu Dongjue looked at Yun Suiwan in front of him. This woman was truly unreasonable.
After being given free rein, she became incredibly audacious, even daring to tease him.
Yun Suiwan was not afraid of him at all. For her, all she had now was her reputation. She could not protect the man, but she was determined to protect her reputation even at the cost of her life.
"Come out with me. Behave yourself outside and don't cause any trouble." Lu Dongjue's tone remained low.
"I can't guarantee that. The only thing I can guarantee is that I won't go looking for trouble."
Upon hearing this, Lu Dongjue couldn't help but give her another deep look.
He then stopped talking and instead stretched out his arm.
Yun Suiwan looked at him, then at his outstretched arm, and finally reluctantly covered it up.
Lu Dongjue thought to himself, "Why pretend? She must be thrilled to be this close to me."
**
When the two of them appeared at the venue, everyone else was stunned.
A perfect match, a match made in heaven – that's the most fitting phrase they could think of.
Yun Suiwan wore a smile, appearing noble and gentle; Lu Dongjue was unsmiling, exuding an aura of kingship.
"I'm not seeing things, am I? Yun Suiwan is wearing a gown from Yunzhiyuan, a high-end custom-made dress from China!"
"My God, yes! The gowns from Yunzhiyuan are priceless."
"Did Young Master Lu specially order a dress from Yunzhiyuan for her? To symbolize everlasting love?"
"My God, Young Master Lu is so romantic!"
As Yun Wanqing listened to everyone's words, she was so jealous that she wanted to grind her teeth to powder.
Why? Why?! The position of Mrs. Lu should have been hers!
Sun Yanwan looked at them expressionlessly. As was customary, on such occasions, she, Sun Yanwan, had to be the most dazzling star of the night.
But Yun Suiwan suddenly appeared out of nowhere and stole all the limelight that belonged to her.
"Just watch, the socialite scene in City A is about to change dramatically."
At this moment, a beautiful long-haired woman with a faint smile on her lips spoke to Sun Yanwan.
Sun Yanwan sneered, "Her? She couldn't cause any trouble before, and now she wants to make a big fuss? She's not worthy!"
“What if she hadn’t bothered with these petty tricks before? Don’t forget, she’s the sole heir of the Yun family. The Yun family, that’s the Yun family.” The woman repeated herself.
Sun Yanwan was still indignant, but she stubbornly retorted, "So what? In the top circles of City A, who wouldn't give me, Sun Yanwan, some face?"
Upon hearing this, the woman simply smiled and said nothing more.
At this time, Sun Yanwan harbored even greater resentment towards Yun Suiwan.
Lu Dongjue didn't say much. Just by standing there with Yun Suiwan, everyone understood the relationship between the two of them.
Presumably, there will be no more gossip or scandals about Yun Suiwan in City A in the future.
After a round of toasts, Lu Dongjue was pulled aside by several of his brothers to talk.
Yun Suiwan didn't want to get too involved in his affairs, so she said, "I'm a little tired, you go ahead."
Lu Dongjue respected her wishes and did not force her, simply saying, "Okay."
After Lu Dongjue left, Yun Suiwan breathed a sigh of relief, never expecting that acting would be so tiring.
At this time yesterday, she was happily looking forward to their engagement party, and today she's acting like a perfect couple with him—it's ridiculous.
After a while, Gu Ruzhi hurriedly came to Yun Suiwan's side.
"Go and take a look at the end of the year!"
"What's wrong?"
"Yun Wanqing and Young Master Lu are hooking up!"
Yun Suiwan frowned; those two really didn't have a moment's rest.
"At year's end, aren't you going to do anything about them? They're all hugging each other."
"Shh..." Yun Suiwan gestured for her to keep her voice down, pretending she hadn't seen it.
Gu Ruzhi looked at Yun Suiwan with surprise, "Suiwan, you and Young Master Lu..."
“Zhizhi, we each have our own suffering, let’s see through it but not say it out loud.”
"..."
Yun Suiwan leisurely drank her water, seemingly oblivious to the fact that Lu Dongjue's sordid affairs had nothing to do with her.
Gu Ruzhi looked distressed. She thought her best friend had finally found her own happiness, but in the end, it was just a facade.
**
In the corridor outside the restroom, Yun Wanqing blocked Lu Dongjue's path, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Brother Dongjue, I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself and made my sister angry again."
Lu Dongjue said coldly, "Yun Suiwan has a bad temper, don't provoke her anymore."
"Well……"
Yun Wanqing was stunned. Shouldn't he have said that he would make the decision for himself?
“Brother Dongjue, I’m in so much pain, I can’t control it. During these three years abroad, I’ve thought of you day and night. The thought of you and my sister being together makes me feel like a thousand arrows are piercing my heart.”
Yun Wan covered her face with one hand and began to act in front of Lu Dongjue.
She was crying so hard that she reached out to pull Lu Dongjue along.
However, Lu Dongjue managed to dodge it.
She looked at Lu Dongjue with red eyes and surprise.
Lu Dongjue was staring at her expressionlessly.
He hates women who don't know what's good for them.
In this situation, she and her "brother-in-law" were so intimate. If someone saw them, did she think about the consequences?
He was attracted to her before because the Lu family needed a woman, and they had known each other since childhood. Her kindness, intelligence, and cuteness made him feel sorry for her.
But she was just a suitable woman.
Now that he has made his choice for the sake of his family, it means that Yun Wanqing will never have anything to do with Lu Dongjue in this lifetime.
However, she never seemed to understand this principle.
“I’ve made myself clear enough. Your love can stop now, because it will lead nowhere,” Lu Dongjue said coldly.
“Brother Dongjue…”
"I hope you understand one thing: I will be Yun Suiwan's husband, and her every word and action represents your Yun family. You'd better not make things difficult for her in public."
"?"
Is Lu Dongjue standing up for Yun Suiwan?
Yun Wanqing didn't understand but was greatly shocked.
"Brother Dongjue, it was her, she used tricks to separate us. She stole my happiness, shouldn't I hate her? Who can I tell about all the suffering I've endured abroad?"
Lu Dongjue remained silent.
"You know perfectly well that she is a cunning, meticulous, and skilled person who is good at disguising herself, so why did you still marry her?"
Yes, why did he marry her?
Because of Grandpa's orders?
Because they had sex?
Or is it because of their respective reputations?
The reason seemed unimportant to him.
The Lu family needs a Mrs. Lu, and Yun Suiwan is the granddaughter-in-law that Grandpa prefers. They are also each other's first time, and being together can protect the reputation of both sides.
From this perspective, Yun Suiwan is his destined other half.
"Brother Dongjue, why? Tell me, what is it?" Yun Wanqing questioned him repeatedly.
Lu Dongjue's brows furrowed in disgust. "That's enough. I'll give you some money."
