Dragon Clan: My identity seems to be wrong.

"I once had such a wish when I was still in that so-called home."

Chen Motong raised his head again and looked at the dark night sky, as if he could see the stars hiding behind the clouds.

"I was born into a very strange family. I have fifty-four brothers and sisters."

Chen Motong looked at the dark night sky, as if immersed in memories.

"We have lived in a large manor since we were young, receiving education together and competing with each other. I am the best among them. Although I have not awakened any special words, my learning ability is far superior to other brothers and sisters. That man, my nominal father, is a thorough businessman. He treats us as employees of his company and brainwashes us, hoping that we can live by his will. I have to say that he did it. Each of us hopes to get his attention, and I have always been favored by him because of my excellent grades."

At this point, Chen Motong sighed, as if he remembered his silly self in the past.

"One day later, I met that woman, my mother. She was wearing tattered clothes and had a bad smell. She recognized me among my brothers and sisters at a glance. Then something happened and she and I were sent to the hospital at the same time. The woman was diagnosed with a parasite that had infected her brain and turned her into a vegetable. Although the family kept saying that there was a cure, I knew she was dead. I saw with my own eyes her soul being taken away by a masked man."

Having said that, Chen Motong sighed deeply again, not knowing whether it was for himself or for the mother whom he had only met once.

"Later, because of my mother's affairs, I had a big conflict with my nominal father, and I was kicked out of the family heir. The brothers and sisters who were previously suppressed by me began to retaliate against me crazily. I almost died in their hands."

Although Chen Motong said it lightly, Lu Mingfei could hear the sadness in her words. For a little girl to face this kind of situation alone, even if she was a mixed-race, it could be said that she was in danger of death.

"Later, the Gattuso family found that man and asked me to marry their young master, Caesar, but the matter had to be kept secret and Caesar couldn't know. In order to force me to agree, the family threatened me with my mother. Although I knew that the woman was dead and that she was just a soulless body lying in the hospital, I had no choice but to agree for my own safety."

"That's how it is. Because of the relationship with the Gattuso family, the people of the Chen family didn't dare to do anything to me. Facing my petty revenge, they chose to be tolerant. They didn't dare to lift a finger against me, who was about to become the bride of the Gattuso family. This is the deterrent power of the Gattuso family."

Looking at the girl with empty eyes, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but walked forward and hugged her in his arms. He didn't expect that behind her lively appearance, there was such a scarred heart. He originally thought that her life experience was unfortunate enough, but compared with Chen Motong, his own affairs seemed to be not even worth mentioning.

Chen Motong leaned her head gently on Lu Mingfei's chest, closed her eyes and enjoyed the long-lost warmth.

“Do you know why I like red?”

Chen Motong murmured as if in a sleep, and answered to himself as if he did not expect Lu Mingfei to give an answer.

"Because that woman's hair was also red, just like mine. This is the last trace she left in this world."

Looking at Chen Motong, who was wearing a fiery red dress and looked like a flame elf in his arms, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but praise the mother's vision.

"Caesar's situation is similar to mine, but the difference is that he is the heir of the Gattuso family and has the right to choose his own life, although he cannot resist the decision made by the family. Although I did become Caesar's girlfriend according to their wishes, they urged us to reach a consensus in secret. In public, we will pretend to be intimate, but secretly we all realize that this marriage may be a huge conspiracy. Although we have not been able to find out their specific purpose for the time being, we have already got some clues."

Chen Motong gently broke free from Lu Mingfei's arms, stood up and stretched lazily, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders.

"Then we will not cause you any trouble if we sneak out, there are many people in the banquet hall watching us leave together."

Lu Mingfei felt a little worried as he looked at Chen Motong who had turned back into the lively and bright girl she used to be.

"It's okay. This is just a test from me to see how much the Gattuso family values ​​the engagement between Caesar and me. Maybe we are overthinking it."

Chen Motong told Lu Mingfei his plan without reservation.

"Does this mean that I have become a shield?"

Lu Mingfei looked at Chen Motong with a strange expression. He could imagine that if the Gattuso family really attached great importance to this marriage, he, the culprit who might disrupt their plans, would definitely be targeted by them.

"Why, would an S-rank person be afraid?"

Chen Motong turned around and raised his still slightly red and swollen eyebrows, looking provocative.

"Of course I am afraid. That's the Gattuso family. How scary."

Although Lu Mingfei said he was afraid, there was no fear on his face, and he even had a relaxed smile. Although the Gattuso family was extremely powerful in Italy, they could only follow the rules in front of Kassel Academy. Although he had never seen the legendary dragon slayer named Ange, according to the information he learned from his mentor Professor Guderian, he was a well-known protective person. If the Gattuso family dared to use unconventional means in the academy, the legendary veteran who had come through World War II would definitely drive Time Zero to Italy and make a big fuss. But no one could stop this old man who had lived for more than a century. After so many years of precipitation, no one wanted to test how strong Ange was. After all, there was only one life.

"Hehe, although I am not afraid of the Gattuso family, I still have to collect the compensation."

Lu Mingfei showed a sly smile on his face and walked towards Chen Motong step by step.

"What do you want to do? Don't mess around, or I'll scream!"

Chen Motong instantly started acting and started talking as she backed away, looking like a girl being bullied by a young thug.
