[Host, the Spirit God has restored Lu Pei and Lu Yu's parents for you, but please note that you have only five years left to live...]
Lin Xiao stared at the notification issued by System 008 with a slight sense of disappointment.
'What? Five more years until you die? Is this the price you pay? Fine, but please only let them out on Lu Yu's birthday.'
[Okay, of course, no problem.]
Lin Xiao moved his fingers and realized he was being held. He glanced out of the corner of his eye at the person who was still intently helping him cool down the soup.
He seemed a little guilty, but he didn't actually show any strange expression.
Lin Xiao saw the extreme doting tenderness in his eyes, which frightened him.
But he could only appease him for now, to prevent any mishaps that the two of them couldn't afford...
"Um, do I really have to stay here, company?"
Lin Xiao pursed her lips and hesitantly made up an excuse to go back, because her parents and Gu Tianyu must be extremely worried!
A pair of black eyes, different from Lu Yu's, had become as bright as obsidian, whether from the mistiness of sleeping too long or from Lu Yu's dawdling.
His misty eyes held a hint of coquetry as he pleaded with Lu Yu.
Everyone in the industry knows that Lu Yu likes her, but she is straight. However, she doesn't dislike his behavior.
But if he didn't go back soon, he was afraid that others would find out about their relationship!
Lu Yu stood up, his tall, slender figure reflected on the floor by the sunlight, which showed that he had a good physique.
He walked to the window next to him, the one with the view outside, and opened the curtains with both hands.
"Then go back, but don't even think about escaping my sight, because I'll be watching you."
"Can I ask you why you like me?" Lin Xiao asked.
"You'll have to ask yourself that. Who was it that desperately tried to catch up with me at my house back then, even acting as a peacemaker?"
"Of course I assumed you liked me, which is why you pursued me for so long. If I didn't reciprocate, wouldn't I be heartless, huh?"
This was the first time Lin Xiao had seen Lu Yu smile. He had never been one to smile before, because he had once told her that nothing could make him smile anymore…
"Really? So it was all my doing. Can I really go back now?" Lin Xiao asked blankly.
"Go back, really."
Lin Xiao heard the voice of an angel coming to save him, as if he had come from hell. It was so beautiful and moving, yet he couldn't tell whether this person was a devil or an angel.
Lin's parents are both business celebrities, as is the Lu family. Many people want to marry their daughters to Lu Yu, but they are rejected.
Unexpectedly, the Jiang family, this dark horse, pulled off a stunning upset and successfully became the future daughter-in-law of the Lu family.
Originally, it was thought that the Jiang family would stop there, but no, after taking down the Lu family, Jiang Shan was not satisfied and turned around to become Lin Xiao's girlfriend.
Sitting in the Lin family home at this moment felt like an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her in-laws, exchanging greetings and reminiscing.
"Uncle and Aunt, it's been a long time since I've come to see you. Since I got together with Lin Xiao, I've been very busy. Lin Xiao specifically asked me to come and see you this time."
The young girl, dressed in a fluffy yet gentle white dress, sat gracefully on the Lin family's sofa, handing the fruit she was holding to the maid.
Her waist-length hair looked even smoother because she was a girl, and her tone of voice was that of a child that even the elderly would like.
This kind of woman is indeed considered 'suitable' in their eyes.
