Lu Yuan pulled Qian Duoduo out of the main room and into Qian Duoduo's room. He quickly closed the door and then pulled Qian Duoduo into his arms. The hug was so tight that it was as if he wanted to meld the person in his arms into his body. He breathed heavily and said in a hoarse voice, "You little devil, I really missed you so much."
Qian Duoduo initially wanted to struggle, but upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, she not only stopped trying to break free but also reached out and wrapped her arms around Lu Yuan's slender waist. However, her thoughts still wandered for a moment: How can this man's waist be so thin? Could he be one of those so-called "thin dogs" on the internet? No way!
Fortunately, Lu Yuan didn't know what Qian Duoduo was thinking, otherwise he would definitely have turned on Qian Duoduo. Even if he was a dog, he would be a big wolfhound that would devour him alive!
Lu Yuan held Qian Duoduo tightly, feeling her warmth and softness, his heart filled with love and longing. He lowered his head and gently kissed Qian Duoduo's forehead, then slowly moved to her lips. Qian Duoduo trembled slightly, closed her eyes, and enjoyed this tender yet passionate kiss.
Lu Yuan's hands began to wander, gently stroking Qian Duoduo's back and waist. Qian Duoduo felt ticklish from his touch and couldn't help but laugh. Looking at her adorable smile, Lu Yuan smiled along with her, and the atmosphere between them became even warmer and sweeter.
They embraced, pouring out their longing and love for each other, as if time had stood still. In that moment, they forgot about their parents discussing their marriage in the main room, focusing only on each other's presence.
Lu Yuan gently picked up Qian Duoduo and placed her on his lap, holding her tightly in his arms. He carefully felt the soft body of the girl in his arms, a strong sense of happiness welling up in his heart, but at the same time he knew that this happiness had not come easily. After years of protecting and waiting, he could finally have this beautiful girl in front of him.
Qian Duoduo knew that Lu Yuan was currently working at a highly confidential research institute. It wasn't until her conversation with him just now that she learned he had been accompanied by six bodyguards on this trip. It's worth noting that when Lu Yiheng traveled discreetly this time, he was only accompanied by ten highly skilled martial artists armed with firearms and authorized to kill suspicious individuals.
Qian Duoduo gently cradled Lu Yuan's handsome face in her hands, gazing intently at him with eyes full of seriousness and concern. Their eyes met, each seeing only the other. Her tone was light yet solemn: "Lu Yuan, regarding your affairs, if you can't tell me, you don't have to. But please remember, no matter when or where, protect yourself. Because you represent not only yourself, but also the expectations of the Lu family and my concerns."
Lu Yuan looked at Qian Duoduo's bright eyes, and said in a solemn and firm tone, "I will protect myself, for the country, for my family, and even more so for you."
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Qian Duoduo's lips curled up slightly, revealing a radiant smile. Her curved eyebrows, like crescent moons, stirred a surge of heat in Lu Yuan's heart. His gaze slowly moved down from Qian Duoduo's eyes to her red lips, which had just been ravaged and were now moist. A desire ignited within him, and Lu Yuan gently moved his head closer to Qian Duoduo, gradually closing the distance between them.
Qian Duoduo sensed Lu Yuan's approach and nervously closed her eyes, anticipating the intimate contact to come. They were immersed in this warmth, as if the whole world had shrunk to just the two of them. Meanwhile, outside, four elderly people were enthusiastically discussing the details of their engagement.
Qian Sheng and Jin Jinxiu stared wide-eyed at the items Wen Ya took out, their faces filled with shock.
Although Wen Yugui was merely a background figure, she genuinely realized that her sister-in-law had indeed found an extraordinary family. After all, her future father-in-law was the Vice Premier, a status that made Wen Yugui acutely aware that her family was likely to rise to prominence thanks to the abundant wealth!
Qian Sheng looked at the items on the table, besides the fabrics he knew were expensive, and the bottles and jars. Wen Ya explained that there were well-known domestic brands as well as imported food and household items. This wasn't too surprising to Qian Sheng and Jin Jinxiu. Their son, Duoduo, was good at making money, and they could buy these things if they wanted to, even with some effort.
It wasn't until Wenya took out a jewelry box and opened it that a green bracelet, as clear as a lake, came into everyone's view. Qian Sheng unconsciously swallowed hard. Even someone who didn't know much about jewelry could tell that this thing was of extraordinary value.
He saw Wenya calmly take out a second, larger box. Inside was a set of pure gold jewelry, clearly belonging to the ladies of wealthy families in ancient times. In any case, they, as poor peasants for eight generations, had never seen anything so exquisite.
Wen Yugui was filled with envy and jealousy, but she also knew that neither her family nor her husband's family had such resources. Only now did she realize how valuable education truly was. Qian Rao had once said, "There are houses of gold and beauties in books," and now it was all laid bare before her. Lu Yuan was quite handsome, in fact, arguably the most handsome man she had ever seen. All the things his parents had brought were bought with money, and she felt a pang of jealousy.
Qian Duoduo was called out by Jin Jinxiu. Seeing Lu Yuan holding Qian Duoduo's hand and refusing to let go, Lu Yiheng thought that being thick-skinned had its advantages, at least he was well-liked by his daughter-in-law.
Originally, Qian Duoduo's bride price wasn't this high. They initially planned to treat all daughters-in-law equally, but Qian Duoduo helped Lu Yijian capture the enemy agents and gave him the medicinal wine. This is what truly made them raise the bride price to its current level.
Qian Duoduo was also extremely surprised when she saw these things. She looked at Lu Yiheng, who was sitting calmly to the side, and then at Wen Ya, who was smiling. She swallowed hard, and her voice trembled slightly as she spoke: "These, these are all the betrothal gifts? This is too extravagant!"
Lu Yuan looked at Qian Duoduo and smiled. He put one hand behind her back, supported her waist, and walked forward. He smiled and looked at Ms. Wen, who was watching the commotion, and softly called out, "Mom."
Wen Ya rolled her eyes at this unwanted son, stood up, and said with a smile, "Duo Duo, you are the daughter-in-law I've chosen. I won't make any promises, but there's one thing I can do: I've finally found someone to take over Lu Yuan's life. From now on, whether you beat or scold me, I won't care. We're mother and daughter. When things are fine, we're good to each other. When something happens, I'll be your support and back you up."
Lu Yuan's eyes widened at these words. He looked at Wen Ya in disbelief: "No, Ms. Wen, are you saying you don't want your son anymore now that you have a daughter-in-law?"
Wen Ya rolled her eyes at him and said, "Your son is always at work. What difference does it make whether he has a wife or not? A daughter-in-law is much better. She buys me clothes, goes shopping with me, and cooks for me. Especially her cooking skills, they're absolutely top-notch."
Seeing Wen Ya's attitude towards Qian Duoduo, Jin Jinxiu gradually felt relieved.
