After the little rose he raised ran away, Mr. Lu went crazy

His non-refutation was a sign of acquiescence.

It is assumed that he and Cui Jingyi will have a business marriage.

While Wen Li'er's mind was in a mess, Jiang Peilan saw the gift box in the servant's hand.

"This gift box is a special gift that you, Ating, prepared for Jingyi, right? Ating is a very considerate child towards girls. He knew that you, Jingyi, would come to visit us today, and he personally selected it to see if you like it."

As she spoke, Jiang Peilan waved to the servants and gave Lu Ting a look.

"A Ting, since you prepared this carefully for Jingyi, it should be delivered by you, the one who prepared it, to show your intentions."

The news of Lu Ting and Cui Jingyi's marriage was a heavy blow to Wen Li'er.

Then he finally realized that this exquisite gift box was not for Mr. Lu, nor for Jiang Peilan, but was specially prepared for his marriage partner.

Seeing all this, Wen Li'er felt that everything she said and did was so sad and ridiculous!

Moreover, Lu Ting knew all this, while she was completely kept in the dark.

Lu Ting knew how she felt about him, and he also knew that his marriage partner would come to the old house today, so he specially prepared a gift for the meeting.

But he still brought her here and cruelly showed it all in front of her.

Let her see with her own eyes that the person he would marry would only be a woman who would be beneficial to the Lu family and a suitable match for him, and that her little thoughts and everything she did to him were so cheap and ridiculous.

It turned out that from the beginning to the end, she had nothing to do with the Lu family. She had always been self-indulgent and did not recognize her own position, and finally turned into a laughable clown!

A hint of impatience flashed in Lu Ting's eyes, but before he could speak, Wen Li'er suddenly stood up.

"I, I remembered that I have homework to hand in before eight o'clock. I'll go back now. Goodbye, ma'am. Please apologize to the old man for me."

Wen Li'er lowered her head, afraid that when she looked up, someone would see her red eyes, pale face, and helpless and sad expression.

No matter how sad or upset she was, she couldn't continue to embarrass herself here.

She wanted to pick up the last bit of her self-respect and leave here.

The little girl stood up hastily and staggeringly. Even though she tried her best to conceal her emotions, her slightly trembling voice still betrayed her mood at the moment.

Lu Ting's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly regretted that he shouldn't have done this and shouldn't have pushed her so hard.

Almost at the same time, Lu Ting also stood up and grabbed Wen Li'er's arm.

"Well, let's have dinner first..."

Without waiting for Lu Ting to finish his words, Wen Li'er shook off his hand and took two steps back. For the first time, she distanced herself from Lu Ting with full resistance.

At this moment, Lu Ting had an inexplicable feeling, as if from this moment on, this distance would become the Milky Way between the two of them.

It is right in front of me, yet it seems as if a galaxy away.

Wen Li'er bit her lower lip tightly, trying to barely control her emotions.

How cruel a person must be to let her witness his happiness with someone else and even let her stay for dinner when he knows she is deeply in love with him?

So that she can see it with her own eyes and give up completely?

She was wrong, she was totally wrong!

She thought that she was always different in Lu Ting's heart.

But in the end, she was just a plaything that he kept by his side when he was bored.

"I'm not hungry."

After saying this, Wen Li'er strode out, and Lu Ting followed her without thinking.

Seeing that something was not right, Jiang Peilan called out to them, "A Ting, come back. Since Li Er has something to do at school, let the driver take her home first. She's already grown up, and she can't take care of herself. Why should you worry about her?"

Of course, Lu Ting would not let Wen Li'er leave alone.

He did bring the little girl to the old house because he wanted her to give up her inappropriate thoughts.

But when all this really happened, seeing the little girl's distraught state, it was like invisible needles piercing his heart densely.

Just then, Mr. Lu, who heard the noise downstairs, came out.

"It's time to eat. What are you guys in such a hurry for? It's rare for Er'er to come to the old house. Are you unwilling to have a meal with an old man like me?"

Mr. Lu's tone was so kind that Wen Lier couldn't help but pause, but she still refused: "I'm sorry, old man, I have something else to do at school..."

"No matter how important it is, it's not as important as your health. After dinner, let Ating take you back to school in person. It will only take an hour or two. It's not the end of the world. Why are you in such a hurry? Don't you even want to give me this face?"

Even though Wen Li'er didn't want to stay any longer, since Mr. Lu said so, she had no choice but to stay for the time being.

But when Lu Ting stepped forward and wanted to say something, Wen Li'er retreated without saying a word.

The beautiful eyes that always looked at him were as bright as day and sparkling like stars, but now they only showed resistance and rejection towards him.

She didn't want him to get close to her, let alone talk to him.

Lu Ting didn't go any further and smiled bitterly in his heart.

Since he chose to take this step, he also expected the little girl to have such a reaction.

It’s okay. After we finish the meal, I’ll have a good talk with her and coax her for a while. The little girl will figure it out.

When sitting down to have dinner, Wen Li'er always sat next to Lu Ting, so Lu Ting naturally pulled the chair out for Wen Li'er first.

But Wen Li'er didn't stop at all. She just walked past and chose a seat farthest from Lu Ting. After sitting down, she lowered her eyelids and pretended to be invisible.

Lu Ting paused in pulling the chair, but was seen by Jiang Peilan.

"The men in our Lu family are really gentlemen. They will take the initiative to pull out the chairs for the ladies before dinner. Since Ating is so attentive, Jingyi, you can sit next to him."

"Don't be embarrassed. It won't be long anyway. We will be a family now."

Cui Jingyi keenly caught the coldness in Lu Ting's eyes. She saw his slender jade-like fingers clasped on the back of the chair, and he pushed the half-pulled chair back in without making a sound.

Then he smiled gently and said, "Although today is my first time to come to the Lu family, I get along very well with Aunt Jiang. There will be plenty of opportunities for me and Mr. Lu to meet in the future. Can you give me a chance today and sit next to Aunt Jiang?"

Smart people's words always make people happy. Cui Jingyi is worthy of being the daughter of the wealthy Cui family. She resolved the embarrassment that was about to happen with just a few words.

He made Jiang Peilan laugh and successfully sat next to her.

There were sumptuous dishes on the long table, but Wen Li'er felt very uncomfortable and could not enjoy the food.

Especially when Jiang Peilan and Cui Jingyi were talking and laughing together, like a harmonious mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she seemed like an unnecessary outsider.

Yes, how could she forget that she was originally just an outsider.

At this time, Lu Zhendong took a sip of red wine and said, "I just discussed it with my father. Both our families are very satisfied with the marriage of Ating and Jingyi."

"If both parties have no objection, the engagement party will be held next Sunday."
