Chapter 21: Chao Chao, Marry If You Want

Lu Mingchao felt a little anxious, as if some force was pulling her left and right.

Indeed, background checks are very important and one cannot be complacent.

Otherwise, she would be caught in a dilemma, with Xie Yan, who is very much to her liking, on one side, and her warm and considerate family on the other.

"Really?" Lu Mingchao asked, tilting his head.

The words "I won't take any risks" seemed to have given her a shot of encouragement, making her feel that it was not impossible to take a chance.

Her hesitation was not entirely due to Xie Yan.

Ever since Lu Lu heard about what Lu Minghui had done, she began to feel uneasy.

I always feel that Lu Minghui's ghost will linger around and we will have to confront her sooner or later.

Lu Yao's hatred for Lu Minghui also made the two sides irreconcilable.

Not to mention, Lu Minghui is most likely carrying memories from her previous life, which are filled with deep hatred and resentment.

Behind Lu Minghui are the Yongning Marquis' Mansion and the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion. It is no more difficult to get rid of the Lu family without anyone noticing than to crush a few ants.

Even if a fire started, the entire Changxi Village could be reduced to charred ruins.

"Really!" Xie Yan spoke each word with extreme caution.

"In the Ming Dynasty, revenge is important, but survival is more important. If I spare someone, I have to consider not only my own life, but also the safety of Huai Qian and the others."

"It would be best if we could take revenge."

"If not, it is my responsibility to ensure that they grow up safely."

The soft winter sunlight poured down on Xie Yan's face through the dead branches like water, making it mottled and blurred with light and dark.

"Then I have something to tell you, please consider it carefully."

"The Lu family is not really peaceful and stable. Lu Miao has ill intentions towards the Lu family. Are you afraid?" Lu Mingchao raised his eyebrows and looked straight at Xie Yan without dodging.

Under the sunlight, those eyes were like autumn water where hundreds of rivers converge, deep and majestic.

Xie Yan's eyes, as dark as a deep pool, met Lu Mingchao's gaze. "Why should I be afraid?"

Why be afraid?

Lu Mingchao's heart moved slightly, as if a thin layer of something had shattered.

"You are gambling by being honest about your past and being humble about their background?"

"Can you bet I can be trusted?"

"Or are you betting that I'm too obsessed with you to let go?"

Lu Mingchao moved closer, with a hint of anger and a hazy glow.

"It's not about that."

"I firmly believe in you, and believe that you are as bright as the sun in the morning glow, bright and dazzling." Xie Yan wrote frankly and every word was clear.

Lu Mingchao pursed his lips and said, "Don't think that your pretty words can make me dizzy."

"Please let me think about it."

Xie Yan responded to everything.

Lu Mingchao scratched her head impatiently and paced back and forth in the yard. She turned around and saw the tall and slender Lu Yao standing in front of the window, looking at her and Xie Yan.

Lu Yao nodded slowly at her.

Lu Mingchao: Why are you nodding your head blindly?

Lu Yao held his forehead helplessly, gathered his clothes, lifted the heavy curtain, and walked out.

"Chao Chao, put aside the external unstable factors and ask yourself, are you willing to marry Xie Yan?"

Lu Mingchao frowned, unable to throw it away.

"Chao Chao, if you want to marry, then marry."

"Thanks to Yanhe and my second brother for everything." Lu Yao raised his hand and smoothed Lu Mingchao's messy hair.

Lu Mingchao was puzzled, "Second brother, do you know what Xie Yan said?"

Lu Yao's lips curled slightly, "Almost."

"When a car reaches a mountain, there will always be a way out. Xie Yan is not a person who acts on impulse."

Lu Mingchao: ...

Good guy, it seems that she is being more cautious and thinking twice.

"good."

It's not appropriate to regret the engagement again and again.

This short word seemed to contain spring water, with a lingering tone, constantly echoing in Xie Yan's mind, like a soft feather, gently passing through his heart, and boundless joy spread, as if to drown him in it.

Lu Mingchao sighed, "Then how can I not have a baby?"

I thought Xie Yan had completed the mission of carrying on the family line, but it turned out to be a false alarm.

Xie Yan was stunned, then laughed, and said with a slight smile, "It's all up to you."

The bright moon finally showed mercy to him once.

Lu Mingchao's eyes lit up. "That's a deal."

"A gentleman's word is as good as his words." Xie Yan said loudly.

The cold wind blew, and Lu Mingchao pulled on his cloak and trotted back to the house. He picked up the warm and sweet milk tea and took a sip, feeling very satisfied.

Only Xie Yan and Lu Yao were left in the courtyard.

"Thank you, second brother." Xie Yanzheng thanked him solemnly.

Lu Yao was once again as cold and cool as ice, stroking the fierce scar on his right hand that exuded a faint fragrance, with an imperceptible tenderness hidden deep in his eyes. "Chao Chao is sensible. She is used to thinking about her family. As her second brother, I always have to think about her and can't throw difficult problems to her every time."

"Xie Yan, I can roughly guess your background."

"What really made me make up my mind was your honesty today, so I just hope that you can think of me well every day."

"Whether you are a small hunter from Changxi Village or a nobleman from a wealthy family, don't let your parents down."

Of course, as I said before, if you get tired of Xie Yan every day, you have to break it.

He is a helpful person under normal circumstances.

But it is obvious that Chao Chao is not one of the common cases.

Xie Yan raised his finger and said, "I, Xie Yan, swear on the good name of my entire family that if I betray you, this blood feud will never be redressed."

Lu Yao: …

There is no need to be so serious.

"Xie Yan, why did you fall in love with Chao Chao after just a few days together? You were even willing to tear open your bloody scars and show them to Chao Chao?"

You know, Lu Miao has been pestering Xie Yan for more than a few months, but Xie Yan was reluctant to give him even a gentle look.

But even so, Lu Miao was still completely confused and bewildered.

Xie Yan hesitated for a moment, his dark eyes flickering with gentle ripples. "She's fine."

"It was so good that I felt that God had finally looked upon me and was willing to show mercy and grant me a ray of light."

"She knows the fickleness of human nature, but she still has a pure heart and can clearly distinguish between what she loves and hates."

"It's as if she was born with light and is fearless."

"Isn't it the same with my second brother?"

Lu Yao was dumb.

Xie Yan's words left him with no way to refute.

"I forgot to tell you that Chao Chao also has an engagement in Shangjing City."

"Chao Chao replaced Lu Miao, and you got a great deal."

"What about Chao Chao's fiancé? With Chao Chao as an example, can the prince of Zhenguo still happily accept the hypocritical and cruel Lu Miao?"

"After years of friendship, would the Prince of Zhenguo really remain indifferent and watch the pearl that once belonged to him go to someone else?"

"When the prince of Zhenguo comes to his senses, who knows what kind of trouble he will cause."

"Some people just love to make trouble after losing something. It's just out of pure panic."

"Since Chao Chao is marrying you, you should find a way to protect her."

"Are you waiting for the prince of the Duke of Zhenguo to come looking for Chao Chao under the malicious pretext of not forgetting the old love, and then you will offer Chao Chao to him with both hands?"

Lu Yao didn't think there was anyone in this world who could remain calm and unmoved despite Chao Chao's sincere treatment for several years.

The main reason was that he didn't believe that idiot Lu Miao could replace Chao Chao.

Unless you are a prince, your eye disease is serious and cannot be cured.

He can not do it later
