Young Master Lu’s Lovely New Bride

The last time… the last time…

Luo Xiaoxi prevented herself from thinking about it again. She glared at him with her beautiful eyes and sighed, with a deep breath to suppress her burning cheeks. “This pajama is worth 998 yuan! It’s of good quality!”

“Is it?” In a flash, Su Yicheng had already circled Luo Xiaoxi’s waist with his arms. “I will test it.”

Luo Xiaoxi blocked Su Yicheng in time. “You are not tired after working until now?” She did not miss the tiredness on Su Yicheng’s face the moment he reached home.

“Tired…” Su Yicheng said, “Do you want to try it for yourself?”

After personal experimentation, Luo Xiaoxi came to a conclusion:

Su Yicheng could still work until the sun rose.

…

She felt it not long before the next day’s sun woke her up, and she vaguely remembered today was the weekend and Su Yicheng didn’t need to go to work, so she turned on the bed, lay in his arms to continue to sleep.

How long she dozed off again, she did not know. When she woke up again, she seemed to hear rustles of pages. She managed to lift her eyelids and saw Su Yicheng reading files, so she asked him, “What time is it?”

Su Yicheng said, “10:30.”

It was not early.

Luo Xiaoxi struggled to get up but felt sore and feeble all over her body. When she was about to collapse onto Su Yicheng, he nimbly put down the file to support her. “Get some more sleep if you’re still tired.”

Luo Xiaoxi tried hard to keep her eyes open. “No, I’m not, and I’ll take a shower!”

Su Yicheng grabbed her hand and glanced at the bedside. “Your pajamas worth 998 yuan yesterday… The quality is still not that good. How about we buy a few new ones today?”

Luo Xiaoxi could not bear the sight, and the corners of her lips twitched a few times. “Don’t you think that I don’t know what you’re thinking? No, bad idea!”

After that, she decisively jumped out of bed, slipped out of the room, and rushed to the bathroom.

In the bedroom, Su Yicheng picked up the pajamas that were torn into strips and got rid of them calmly.

The quality of pajamas… wasn’t supposed to very good.

After they washed and finished breakfast, Luo Xiaoxi felt idle since she could not find a thing to do, so she decided to eavesdrop on Su Yicheng’s calls.

However, what he was discussing on the phone… seemed to involve her?

When Su Yicheng hung up the phone, Luo Xiaoxi asked in doubt, “What were you’re discussing just now?”

“You missed out on the championship of the week yesterday because of the rumor on the Internet,” Su Yicheng said, “I’m having people clean it up.”

“In fact…” Luo Xiaoxi faltered. “I don’t really care about it.”

She feared no false accusation since she had been clean, and she didn’t care about the rumors on the Internet.

The professional judges gave her a very high grade yesterday, which had proved her professionalism, so she didn’t care whether the audience, blinded by rumors, supported her or not.

“I do.” Su Yicheng sounded casual but he insisted. “No one but me can bully you.”

Luo Xiaoxi bit her lips and chuckled.

She admitted that she found this sentence very sweet!

She moved closer to him affectionately. “Do you have work today?”

“No.” Su Yicheng said.

“Think about what we are doing today.” Luo Xiaoxi suggested. “Finally, it’s the weekend. We should go out! And why did you develop those photos?”

Su Yicheng pointed to a white wall in the living room. “How about making a photo wall and installing a warm light?”

“… These are all photos of people. Can they make a nice photo wall?” Luo Xiaoxi did not recommend this.

Su Yicheng cocked one eyebrow. “Who told you I want it to be nice? I just want it to remind me of someone.”

Luo Xiaoxi. “…”

As she felt speechless, she received a landline call from home, and the voice of Lao Luo rang when she picked up.

“You should come back.”

At that instant, Luo Xiaoxi noticed something wrong—Lao Luo sounded too cold, completely unlike his usual tone when speaking to her.

“Lao Luo.” She faltered. “What happened?”

“Don’t ask anything, and just come back!” Father Luo was being surprisingly persistent. “If you still think I’m your father, come back now!”

“Is there something wrong? I…”

Before Luo Xiaoxi finished, Lao Luo hung up.

She was dumbfounded. Looking at the phone screen, she couldn’t react to it for a long time.

“What’s wrong?” Su Yicheng noticed her strangeness and gently asked.

“My dad wants me to go back right away.” Luo Xiaoxi was a little nervous and a little uneasy. “He didn’t sound quite right, and I don’t know if something happened at home.”

“Don’t overthink.” Su Yicheng returned to the bedroom to fetch Luo Xiaoxi’s coat. “I’ll send you back, and call me if anything’s up.”

Luo Xiaoxi looked at Su Yicheng and felt relieved. She got up to put on her coat and put a few photos into her bag. While Su Yicheng observed her in doubt, she smiled. “I also want it to remind me of someone!”

Su Yicheng. “…”

Su Yicheng drove fast and it was not long before he drove Luo Xiaoxi home.

Luo Xiaoxi was in a hurry, so she did not even have the time to say goodbye to Su Yicheng before pushing open the car door to run for home. Su Yicheng watched her figure disappear behind the gate and restarted the car and left the villa area.

At the same time, Luo Xiaoxi rushed into her home, only to see Lao Luo and his mother sitting on the sofa in the living room. Lao Luo’s face was not very good, and her mother’s was even more complex. She was frowning and didn’t care about the wrinkles around her eyes as she used to do at all.

She suddenly felt more restless, then walked over and said, “Dad, mum, what’s wrong?”

“You are with Su Yicheng, right?” Father Luo angrily slammed down the tea cup while glaring Luo Xiaoxi.

Luo Xiaoxi was so scared that her shoulders trembled, and she lowered the voice. “You… you should’ve guessed it earlier…”

Although she didn’t confess, she clearly showed her mood in this period of time. She would have thought Lao Luo and her mum knew it already, but they expressed nothing, thus she saw it as acquiescence.

While today Lao Luo suddenly lost his temper and brought up old scores again, it was really abnormal.

“What’s happened on earth?” She urgently asked.

“We’ve expected it, but we didn’t expect you to live with him!” Father Luo glared at Luo Xiaoxi as if she had failed him. “You’re a girl, why don’t you know self-love? And, I have told you several times, I won’t accept you and Su Yicheng. Once you want to marry someone, he must be Qin Wei!”

Luo Xiaoxi hadn’t heard “Qin Wei” for a long time, when she suddenly heard that now, she felt angry. “I have told you many times too. I won’t be with Qin Wei! Never! He makes me sick!”

“You…!” Father Luo dropped his cup and said, “Luo Xiaoxi, you think you’ve grown up, do you?!”

“It’s you who are too strange!” Being scolded early in the morning, Luo Xiaoxi also lost her temper. “I said, again and again, I don’t like Qin Wei, why do you force me? In this life, I want Su Yicheng, whether you agree or not!”

After leaking Cheng An Group’s plan, Luo Xiaoxi had thoroughly examined herself, and she’d been a good girl for so long. Thus now, her action directly provoked Lao Luo.

The sound of crushing things rang—Lao Luo pushed the entire tea set off the tea table, which not only startled his wife by his side, but also made Luo Xiaoxi grasp. However, Luo Xiaoxi still refused to give up.

Father Luo suddenly stood up and stared at Luo Xiaoxi. “From now on, you’re not allowed to get out of the house to see Su Yicheng!”

“Dad, you…” Luo Xiaoxi almost exploded, because, in her opinion, Lao Luo was unreasonable.

“Shut up!” Father Luo suddenly roared and made the whole room quiet. He said, “Luo Xiaoxi, this time, if you still won’t listen to me, then don’t go back to this house, and don’t call me father!”

After that, Father Luo angrily stormed upstairs. Mrs. Luo, who was in a dilemma, glanced at Luo Xiaoxi and finally followed her husband upstairs.

“Unreasonable!”

Luo Xiaoxi turned back to go out, but was stopped by two big men. “Young Miss, Mr. Luo has ordered, without his consent, you can’t go out.”

Luo Xiaoxi stared at them annoyingly. She wanted to pass with force, but found herself even unable to open the door.

Shit! They tricked her back just to trap her?

Luo Xiaoxi deliberately kicked the expensive iron gate, but the door did not move. Moreover, she accidentally hit her toes and gritted her teeth in pain.

In the study room on the second floor, Father Luo and Mrs. Luo stood by the bed and saw this scene clearly. Both of them felt sorry for her.

“Why don’t you just tell her the truth?” Ms. Luo asked.

Father Luo sighed. “After Cheng An Group’s plan was leaked, when Su Yicheng ignored her for a while, she tortured herself like that. If she knows the truth, I can’t imagine how she will become. Hate me is better than torturing herself, at least she’s alive. She can eat and drink and won’t hurt herself.”

“Well…” Mrs. Luo hesitated. “Talk to Su Yicheng about it. Maybe there is something hidden?”

“How can there be anything hidden?” Hearing Su Yicheng’s name, Lao Luo would get angry. He coldly snorted and said, “If he didn’t lie to our daughter, how can Xiaoxi be fascinated by him? Make an arrangement for Xiaoxi and Qin Wei to meet. The sooner they get married, the better.”

Eventually, Mrs. Luo considered Luo Xiaoxi’s feelings and persuaded her husband. After a few attempts, she failed and could only follow his intentions.

Luo Xiaoxi still had some hope in her heart. She didn’t believe that Lao Luo would be so cruel to her, so she returned to her room. She received a message from Su Yicheng and he asked, “Everything well?”

She didn’t figure out why Lao Luo became so strange, thus didn’t refer it to Su Yicheng. She replied, “Everything’s well, but Lao Luo misses me and wants me back to have a family meal.”

Su Yicheng didn’t suspect a thing and merely told Luo Xiaoxi to stay at home.

Luo Xiaoxi didn’t give up and tried to go out after a while, but the bodyguards still stopped her.

During lunchtime, Luo Xiaoxi angrily had her meal and was not willing to see Lao Luo. Though Mrs. Luo tried to ease the atmosphere, Lao Luo said nothing and only saw her as a child with an ill temper.

Luo Xiaoxi just had a few mouthfuls and felt full. She put down the tableware and left without a word. But the house was small, and wherever she went, she was in Lao Luo’s sight. She simply went to the bedroom and locked herself inside to watch movies to kill time.

This was the so-called—the higher authorities have policies, the localities have their countermeasures. At dinner time, she behaved a little better to make Lao Luo let down his guard and planned to slip away tonight.

She didn’t believe that bodyguards could watch her for twenty-four hours!

She needed to figure out what happened on earth, and why Lao Luo became so strange.
