"You're not even engaged yet, so you're so anxious to take Linglong to meet your parents?"
Lu Yu looked unkind. Ever since he saw Hua Sheng, he had no friendly expression on his face.
"Emmm, um, when I picked up Linglong, I happened to be on my way..."
"On the way back to our home from Baiyun Temple, did you pass by your Hua family? Isn't this a little too smooth for you?"
"Dad, what are you doing..."
Lu Linglong tugged on Lu Yu's sleeve and looked at him with a complaining expression.
It was clear that I was not so hostile towards Hua Sheng before, why did it suddenly become like this?
"I……"
Lu Yu choked and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Oh, okay..."
After that, Lu Yu shook his head and walked away with a disappointed look on his face under everyone's gaze.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what's going on with my dad recently. He obviously paid little attention to me before." Lu Linglong said apologetically.
"It's okay, I can understand your dad."
Hua Sheng shook his head slowly, indicating that he didn't care.
Put yourself in my shoes, if you and Linglong have a child in the future, and it happens to be a girl, then some wild boy will appear from nowhere and suddenly abduct your little cotton-padded jacket.
What's even more annoying is that I can't object yet, even a father can't stand it!
"But this is not a solution. Second uncle looks so sad every day." Lu Lin nodded, understanding. However, if Lu Yu, the father, still has a grudge, then this engagement banquet may seem...
Not so perfect anymore.
Hua Sheng pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and glanced at the direction Lu Yu left.
"Leave this matter to me!"
"What do you want to do?" Lu Linglong glanced at Hua Sheng doubtfully.
"Needless to say, of course I have gone to your father's house. If our marriage is not approved by your family, then I will be a failure as a boyfriend."
"Do you need me to go with you?"
"No, just leave everything to me, trust me."
Lu Linglong was slightly absent-minded for a long time before she slowly nodded.
"Well, I believe you."
"Come on."
Hua Sheng took a deep breath, and then took on the posture of a strong man who would never return once the wind was rustling and the water was cold, and he walked resolutely in the direction Lu Yu left.
————————————————————————
Lu family, in Lu Yu's room.
Lu Yu was holding a photo album in his hand, looking at the photos in the album in a daze, sometimes smiling and sometimes frowning, not knowing whether he was happy or sad at the moment.
Dong dong dong~
There was a sudden knock on the door.
Lu Yu slowly put the photo on the table, and then shouted to the door: "Who is it?"
"Uncle, it's me." Hua Sheng replied.
When he heard it was Hua Sheng, Lu Yu also frowned and wanted to drive him away, but after thinking for a moment, he finally decided to meet Hua Sheng.
"come in."
Hua Sheng pushed the door open and saluted Lu Yu.
"uncle."
Lu Yu looked behind Hua Sheng. After confirming that Lu Linglong and Lu Lin had not followed him, he asked in surprise: "Are you the only one?"
"Well, it's just me." Hua Sheng replied calmly.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Actually, it's nothing serious. I just want to have a chat with you, uncle."
"Let's talk? What do you have to talk to me about? The one you want to marry is Linglong, not me."
Hua Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then became confused about whether to laugh or cry.
"But I want to marry Linglong, and your approval is also crucial."
"Me? Does my opinion matter? If I say I won't let you marry Linglong, will you do it?"
Hua Sheng slowly shook his head.
"Won't."
Lu Yu also laughed when he heard this.
"Isn't that enough? So, you don't have to waste your time here, it's useless."
Hua Sheng fell into silence. Looking at the indifferent person in front of him, he didn't know what to say next.
Suddenly, Hua Sheng's eyes also glanced at the photo album on the table. Looking at the woman with long pink hair in the photo, Hua Sheng couldn't help but ask: "Is the one in the photo Linglong's mother?"
"Yeah." Lu Yu's eyes flashed with sadness.
"Their mother and daughter look really alike."
"Well, many times, when I look at Linglong when she has grown up, I seem to be seeing her in the past."
When he mentioned his late lover, Lu Yu, who originally didn't want to talk at all, seemed to suddenly start chatting.
"However, the personalities of mother and daughter are quite different. Linglong's mother has a very gentle personality and even speaks in a soft voice, while Linglong sometimes looks more like a tomboy."
"Isn't this good?"
"Yeah, it's good to be optimistic. In recent years, because I was busy with business matters at home, I basically didn't take care of Linglong. When I wanted to take care of her now, I suddenly realized that the child has grown up.
I no longer need my restraint..."
Having said this, Lu Yu also fell into a brief silence. After a moment, he also glanced at Hua Sheng, who had been standing respectfully aside, sighed helplessly, and pointed to the stool next to him.
"Sit down first."
"Thank you, uncle."
"Hua Sheng, I know what you want to ask me when you come tonight? To be honest, you are excellent, in every sense of the word. I can trust Linglong's vision.
But when Linglong’s grandfather mentioned to me that Linglong should get engaged to you, I actually refused without even thinking about it. Do you know why?"
"Because of what happened to me before?"
Hua Sheng's heart suddenly sank. It's over! After working on it for a long time, it turned out that the biggest problem was actually Linglong's father!
I thought he was simply unhappy that his cabbage was stolen, but now it seems that he had no intention of agreeing to the marriage from the beginning.
"Hahaha! Who do you think I, Lu Yu, am? The Lu family, the word timid has never been in the dictionary!"
"What's that for?"
"Because I suddenly discovered that Linglong cares about you a little too much..."
"???"
Hua Sheng looked at Lu Yu with a puzzled look. What kind of magical reason is this? So you are jealous?
"Sorry uncle, I didn't quite understand."
A trace of sadness flashed across Lu Yu's face. He picked up the photo on the table and rubbed it carefully for a while.
"You should know everything about Linglong's mother, right?"
"Well, I know a little bit."
As if recalling those past events, Lu Yu's murderous aura became more and more intense.
"Back then, although the murderer was the gang of bastards who suddenly broke in, in the final analysis, she was killed by me, so I will never allow such a thing to happen to Linglong again!
Some time ago, you ran away to Nathan Island, right? Not long after you left, that girl Linglong chased you and ran to that ghost place. She would even sacrifice herself for you without hesitation.
His life was also involved!
Let me ask you, if something happens to Linglong because of you, how do you want me to explain it to her mother?"
As he spoke, Lu Yu suddenly became excited. He grabbed Hua Sheng's collar and stared at Hua Sheng.
When he learned that Lu Linglong was going to Nathan Island to find Hua Sheng with Zhang Chulan, the first thing Lu Yu thought of was to take Lu Linglong back home, even if her legs were broken.
Don't let her go!
But just when he was about to take Lu Linglong back, Lu Jin stopped him with a calm expression and refused to let him go.
Although Lu Yu didn't understand why, he didn't dare to have any objections to Lu Jin's decision and had no choice but to let Lu Linglong go to Nathan Island.
"Is that why..."
Hua Sheng's expression did not change at all. His body shook slightly, and Lu Yu's hand holding his collar was shaken away.
Later, while Lu Yu had a shocked expression on his face, Hua Sheng slowly said: "Uncle, I know you are worried about Linglong's safety, and so am I.
The reason why I went to Nathan Island without telling her in the first place was because I didn't want her to take risks for me again, but who would have thought that she would chase me after me in the end.
After experiencing one incident after another on Nathan's Island, I figured out that blindly escaping would not solve any problems at all. The same is true for this incident emotionally.
So, I will not run away this time, I will marry Linglong, it has nothing to do with the Hua family or the Lu family, just because I want to be with her, now and in the future!
As for her safety, I will be responsible for it. Please believe me, I definitely have the strength now! If one day, my aunt's tragedy happens again, then please believe that it will be after I die! "
Hua Sheng's voice was sonorous and powerful, causing Lu Yu to fall into silence for a moment.
After a long time, Lu Yu also sighed deeply, turned around, and waved his hand to Hua Sheng. His whole person seemed to have become much older all of a sudden.
"You, let's go..."
Hua Sheng took a deep look at Lu Yu, and then bowed deeply.
"Uncle, I'll go down first."
"Um."
After Hua Sheng left, looking at the photo of Lu Linglong's mother on the table, Lu Yu was filled with emotions for a moment.
"Mom, maybe it's time for me to let go..."
…
The moment he came out of Lu Yu's room, Hua Sheng quickly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
To be honest, talking to my father-in-law is indeed quite stressful.
But fortunately, I didn’t lose face in the next few sentences...
Just as he was thinking about it, Hua Sheng glanced at him and immediately saw a familiar figure beside him.
Lu Linglong emerged from the shadows and smiled awkwardly at Hua Sheng.
"What does eavesdropping mean? I was worried that you would be beaten by my father, so I followed you..."
"Please, do you think your father hates me so much that he beats me up?" Hua Sheng rolled his eyes helplessly.
"I can't say for sure. Recently, every time I see my dad look at you, it does seem like he wants to punch you twice."
"Emm, I don't deny this."
Lu Linglong didn't reply, but looked deeply at Hua Sheng.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Hua Sheng was stared at in horror.
"Is what you just told my dad true?"
"Which ones?"
"What do you think?" Lu Linglong smiled slightly. Obviously, she must have heard Hua Sheng's "affectionate confession" behind her.
"I said you should change your bad habit of leaning against the door. Be careful next time your master doesn't use the Five Ghost Talisman, he will just use the Five Thunder Talisman to kill you!"
"Just chop it. I'm sure I won't be cruel anyway. Don't change the subject. Are what you just said true?"
"What did I say?" Hua Sheng looked away, trying to pretend to be dumbfounded.
But what he didn't expect was that Lu Linglong calmly took out her mobile phone and turned on the speaker.
"So, I won't run away this time. I will marry Linglong. It has nothing to do with the Hua family and..."
"You're actually recording!"
Hua Sheng's face suddenly turned red. Well, no matter what, this guy was so smart that he actually learned to record in advance!
"What are you doing? You were allowed to take your mobile phone everywhere and record videos, but you were not allowed to record a sound? I learned this from you, okay." Lu Linglong winked playfully.
"Delete it quickly!" Hua Sheng pretended to be a vicious threat.
Just kidding, I’ve only been able to record other people’s dark history myself, how can anyone else record myself?
"Don't delete it!" Lu Linglong shook her head resolutely.
"What do you mean you won't delete it?"
“Don’t delete anything you say!”
Hua Sheng stared at Lu Linglong's beautiful face, and after a while, he suddenly became discouraged.
"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you. If you don't want to delete it, I won't delete it. If you like it, just keep it."
"Hey, Bao, you're so kind."
Lu Linglong chuckled, and in the next second, while Hua Sheng wasn't paying attention, she pressed her lips directly on Hua Sheng's lips.
"Uh!" Hua Sheng's eyes widened instantly.
So soft and so fragrant...
After a long time, the lips parted.
Lu Linglong, whose eyes were full of confusion, smiled at Hua Sheng: "This is your reward."
After saying that, he turned around and ran away.
"Oh~"
Hua Sheng dazedly touched his lips, which seemed to still have warmth, and the corners of his mouth began to rise crazily.
"Reward? It's really not bad..."
————————————————————————
"You brat, here you go, sit down."
Lu Jin took a sip of the tea in his mouth, leaned lazily on the sofa, and continued to flip through the book in his hand.
"Master, you are so leisurely..."
Hua Sheng was not polite and sat directly next to Lu Jin.
"Then I, an old guy who is more than a hundred years old, don't have a leisurely life. How can I let you guys in their twenties have a leisurely life?"
"If you ask me, you should still learn from the Heavenly Master and look at the human Heavenly Master..."
Snapped!
The book in Lu Jin's hand suddenly closed with a snap, which scared Hua Sheng and immediately closed his mouth.
"What's wrong with that old guy Zhang Zhiwei? In what way am I inferior to your master? If I really can't be compared to him, then it's just a worthless disciple of yours. If I can't compare to the real person Ren Lingyu, it's a total embarrassment to me!"
