Lu Chengyuan's parents and Xia Qingluo's parents have been good friends since college.

That year, Lu Chengyuan was still a two-year-old child. His parents took him to the hospital and waited outside the delivery room for Xia Qingluo to be born.

He was thinking at the time, what's so good about a newborn baby, it's wrinkled and smells like milk.

But when the little girl was carried out by the nurse, he was stunned.

The little girl has milky white skin, a chubby face, and eyes as bright and beautiful as the stars.

My parents said that if the relationship was not good, they should at least treat her as a younger sister.

If they have a good relationship, then she will be his future fiancée.

From then on, he developed a sense of responsibility towards Xia Qingluo.

He would drive away those boys who pursued her and quietly act as her bodyguard.

If his parents had not died unexpectedly when he was ten years old, he would probably have protected Xia Qingluo until they grew up, confessed his love to each other, and been together.

Wan Yi smiled kindly and nodded slightly, "Childhood sweethearts, it's really a beautiful story."

When Xia Qingluo met the smile in Lu Chengyuan's eyes, she got goosebumps all over her body. She stepped back repeatedly and wanted to curl up on the sofa.

Knowing each other since childhood, falling in love at first sight?

This guy lies without blinking an eye.

When Lu Chengyuan was a child, he did something even more cruel in order to reject her.

On his eighth birthday that year, she happily made a crystal ball for him, and finally found the crystal ball in the trash can.

Now that I think about it, she was really determined to pursue such an extremely cold man for so long.

Lu Chengyuan took out an exquisite rosewood box and placed it on the table.

On the left side of the wooden box is a letter of appointment.

The letter of appointment is made of the finest rice paper, and the edges are carefully wrapped with pure gold foil. Every stroke is vigorous and powerful.

In the lower right corner of the letter of appointment, the Lu family's crest was embroidered with delicate gold thread, and the pattern of pine and crane for longevity was lifelike.

The Lu family’s ancestors can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period. As a great family with a history of nearly three thousand years, they have retained traditions in many things.

A letter of appointment represents Lu Chengyuan's utmost sincerity.

On the right side of the wooden box is a red jade bracelet.

The red jade bracelet has a gradient from brown to pink, just like the morning glow reflected on the lake in the early morning, creating layers of red glow.

The inner ring of the bracelet is carved with exquisite cloud-thunder patterns, which symbolize good luck and the warding off of evil and disasters.

Xia Zhenghong's gaze instantly fixed on the red jade bracelet.

In ancient times, only emperors and generals were qualified to wear this kind of jade, which shows how precious it is.

It is no exaggeration to say that if this bracelet were put up for auction now, it would definitely fetch more than 100 million yuan.

"The bracelet was given to me by my grandmother before she passed away, and she asked me to give it to my future wife," Lu Chengyuan gently picked up the red jade bracelet. When he looked up again, a faint smile flashed in his eyes, as if a spring breeze was blowing across the lake, creating ripples.

"Lolo, are you willing to get engaged to me?"

Xia Qingluo met his gaze and saw the deep love in his eyes, but she felt a little uneasy.

Even she couldn't find any fault with his acting.

If Lu Chengyuan entered the entertainment industry, he would be able to win the Best Actor award within two years.

Lu Chengyuan has always been a vengeful person, and it is estimated that all his current actions are revenge for her stripping off his bathrobe.

Once the two get engaged, she will suffer more criticism and abuse in the entertainment industry, and she will be the gold digger that everyone despises.

Because of their engagement, Lu Chengyuan will be portrayed as a responsible good man and win everyone's praise.

Simply kill two birds with one stone.

"I would rather develop in the entertainment industry." Xia Qingluo blinked gently, and when she looked up again, her beautiful almond eyes were slightly upturned, playful and stubborn.

"I'm only 20 years old, in the golden age of my career in the entertainment industry. If I get engaged now, I'm afraid it will affect my career. A woman should have her own career, not rely on a man and be a housewife."

Her acting skills are natural, which she honed over and over again when she was a bored housewife in her previous life.

She had practiced every look and every movement countless times in front of the mirror, so there couldn't be any flaws.

Lu Chengyuan frowned slightly. Although he felt a little surprised by Xia Qingluo's rejection, his attention was fixed on her smile.

The smile was bright, but it seemed to burn his eyes and made his heart ache for no reason.

In the previous life, it was because he said he liked virtuous women.

She gave up her career, became a housewife, and managed everything for the Lu family.

It turned out that she loved the entertainment industry and valued her career, but she sacrificed her dream for his words.

Lu Chengyuan hid his guilt in his deep eyes, raised his eyes and curved his lips, "I respect your decision."

"But I can also accept a secret marriage."

Xia Qingluo almost fell off the sofa.

I don't even want to get married with you!

The corners of her mouth twitched, and her smile was a little stiff. "It's so unfair for you to be married in secret."

They say they are in a secret marriage, but in fact they are using the marriage certificate as a threat, right?

Lu Chengyuan might not like her someday and directly make their marriage certificate public, causing her to be blacklisted by the entire internet.

Seeing Xia Qingluo's refusal, Xia Zhenghong frowned instantly, "Young Master Lu has said so, why don't you give him some face?"

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but this evil creature Xia Qingluo didn't even try to fight for it.

"Is marriage based on face?" Xia Qingluo retorted directly and even rolled his eyes.

Xia Zhenghong frowned instantly, and was about to get angry, but when he saw Lu Chengyuan's gaze, he immediately laughed dryly twice, "Luo Luo used to be very well behaved, I don't know what happened to him today."

Wan Yi also felt it was a little strange, but she was not angry, instead she was happy.

She knew that Xia Zhenghong had always favored Xia Wan'er, and Xia Qingluo had always been tolerant. Xia Qingluo had suffered a lot in silence over the years.

It’s a good thing that you know how to talk back now.

Wan Yi interrupted the quarrel between the two and said with a smile: "As elders, we can't make the decision for you on matters like marriage."

As she spoke, Wan Yi looked at Xia Qingluo again, full of love, "Lolo, Xiao Lu came here with full sincerity this time, you should cherish such a good man."

"But marriage is not a joke. If you have any concerns, you should probably think about it again."

Wan Yi's suggestion not only gave Lu Chengyuan enough face, but also cleverly created space for Xia Qingluo to think.

Xia Qingluo nodded repeatedly, feeling ecstatic.

To consider means to have room for maneuver.

After a brief greeting and sending Lu Chengyuan away, Wan Yi pulled Xia Qingluo aside and asked in a low voice: "Luluo, didn't you like Xiao Lu very much before? Why didn't you marry him when he came to propose?"

Xia Qingluo really wanted to tell her true feelings. She had been hurt too deeply and no longer loved him.

"Ahem! Ahem! Ahem..."

The next second, Wan Yi started coughing violently.

Xia Qingluo quickly poured a cup of warm water and handed it over.

Wan Yi took a sip and calmed down for a while before speaking: "Alas, I think my days are almost over. I won't be able to see my great-grandson anymore. I just hope to see you get married."

"Xiao Lu is a good kid. If you marry him, grandma will be relieved."
