As usual, Lu Chenting sat in the corner with a cold face, silently listening to his comrades teasing him.

After a moment, feeling uncomfortable at being teased, he raised his right hand and lightly stroked his round, sexy nose with his slender index finger. Then, his mind couldn't help but flash back to a swan neck as white as cream and two soft and sexy cherry lips...

The nine people on the green truck were immersed in cheerful laughter, and no one noticed that Lu Chenting in the corner was pursing his lips and slightly raising the corner of his mouth.

Well, even though Lu Chenting has never really seen Su Nianxi's normal face until now, he still couldn't help but think of her at this moment.

……

Lu Chenting has been a wild and unruly person since he was young, and only his green military uniform can control and restrain him.

His grandfather, Lu Qidong, could only suppress him with the merits he had earned from fighting bloody battles for most of his life.

The reason why Lu Chenting had always rejected the engagement with Su Nianxi was precisely because of this character.

However, Lu Chenting is also conflicted now.

He has always been dull, especially after the incident four years ago, he put away his lust, abandoned love, and declared that the woman in military uniform would be his wife for life.

But now, he couldn't help but fall in love with a lesbian who was betrothed to him by his elders, a lesbian whose true face he had never even seen clearly. He even had a physical reaction that he couldn't help himself.

Was it because Su Nianxi had been betrothed to him as a child? Was it because he had promised to marry her again that day that she had become even more out of control?

……

In the military compound, everyone in the Lu family's living room heard Su Nianxi say that she would not stay in the Lu family, would not ask Lu Chenting to marry her in exchange for a favor, and that she would go out to find a job tomorrow and move out when the time comes.

Suddenly, the entire living room became silent as if the mute button was pressed, and the Lu family members looked at each other.

Think about how they treated Su Nianxi: their attitudes were completely different before and after they met her.

In an instant, they all lowered their heads, feeling extremely ashamed.

Especially the couple Lu Qing and Lu Sen. After all, they are elders and hold high positions in their respective fields. They are knowledgeable and have seen countless people. However, they are concerned about others and make low-level mistakes because of the "countryside" filter and some rumors.

Everyone present now knew how hurtful what they had just said was, which was why Su Nianxi said that.

"Oh, oh, no, no, no, Xiaoxi, what do you mean by not staying in the Lu family? What do you mean by repaying a favor?"

"The engagement you and Xiao Ting had made since childhood was originally arranged by our elders with great joy for you two. Although there were some setbacks along the way, fortunately, you and Xiao Ting were destined to come back to the original intention."

"Xiaoxi, this is your home now. You can't leave. You can't leave grandma..."

Mrs. Lu was so anxious that she opened her mouth and talked incessantly.

"Oh, I can't do it. How come I'm singing in the tune of 'I don't want grandma'?" Su Nianxi was suddenly speechless, her brows twisted, and she didn't know how to answer next.

"Old Lu, please speak up! Your beautiful granddaughter-in-law is about to fly away..."

Mrs. Lu was extremely anxious and whispered to Mr. Lu for help while gritting her teeth.

"Oh, yes, yes, Xiaoxi, you and Xiaoting were originally engaged since childhood, and this time in Qingshan Village, Xiaoting promised to marry you in front of so many elders and villagers. You didn't say no at the time, and you came back with Xiaoting and Grandpa. Grandpa is old and doesn't need to be frightened! Xiaoxi, be good, okay?"

"what--"

Su Nianxi trembled and thought to herself, if she rolled up her sleeves at this moment, she would definitely get goose bumps on her arms.

Mr. Lu, who has always been cold and stern, no longer has the cold and domineering aura that a superior soldier should have. At this moment, he is like an old child who has suffered a lot of grievances and is trying to please others for candy, asking Su Nianxi in a wronged manner.

"That's right, Xiaoxi. We were confused before and believed the rumors and misunderstood you. Auntie brought them here to apologize to you. We especially welcome you."

Jiang Xiaoyan felt extremely ashamed of her stupidity just now, but she still stepped forward smartly and apologized quickly to win Su Nianxi's favor.

Jiang Xiaoyan turned to her husband Lu Qing and others, blinking wildly, suggesting that they should apologize soon.

"Ahem—Xiaoxi, your Aunt Jiang is right. We are confused. This is your home. We uncles all welcome you."

Lu Sen: "Yes, yes, yes..."

Li Peipei: “Yes, yes, yes…”

"Yes, yes, we all welcome you."

Lu Chenting's cousin Chen Yu suddenly rushed to Su Nianxi, quickly took Su Nianxi's arm, and showed her goodwill with a smile.

Deng Yiran, who has always been a die-hard fan and has supported Zhan Yanmei to be her cousin-in-law, was no match for Su Nianxi's gentleness and grace at this time. He was even more impressed by Su Nianxi's beauty and kept nodding his head to show his welcome.

"Uncles, aunts, and sisters, it's my fault. My arrival has caused you trouble. I should be the one apologizing to you."

The sudden apology and goodwill gestures from this large group of people immediately stunned Su Nianxi.

"call--"

"We can't let such a beautiful and sensible niece-in-law be lost by our foolishness."

Li Peipei shuddered inwardly and muttered to herself.

"Xiaoxi, come and sit next to your aunt."

"Xiao Xi, this is your home now, you can't move out. If you don't feel comfortable living here, you can move in with Auntie and your Uncle Lu Qing."

"Also, you just arrived in Beijing, don't rush to find a job, wait..."

Jiang Xiaoyan impatiently took Su Nianxi from Chen Yu's arms, pulled her to sit next to her, and began to mutter like Tang Monk.

"Auntie, I've been in Beijing for several days. No matter what, I have to go out to work. And it's really not appropriate for me to live in the Lu family like this. I..."

"It's over..." Jiang Xiaoyan's alarm bells rang instantly and her heart beat faster.

The others also became nervous and tense, as if the sky had been poked a hole by them, and they were in a panic.

Over the years, Lu Chenting has been like a mad horse that has broken free from its reins in the army. He never takes his own life seriously, and he is not afraid of life or death, and he works hard to complete one mission after another.

Not to mention the Lu family, even the leaders of the entire army were worried every time Lu Chenting went on a mission, waiting day and night for his safe return.

For so many years, Lu Chenting has always been afraid of marriage. Although he did not say it out loud, he was strongly opposed to it in his attitude, and he also treated the opposite sex coldly in the army.

This time, Lu Chenting finally made the promise to marry Su Nianxi. This gave him a sense of responsibility and concern. He thought that he would be more restrained when going on missions in the future, and would not risk his life so recklessly. Moreover, Su Nianxi was so dazzling that she could always capture his heart.

But now Su Nianxi was being forced by these blind people to sever ties with the Lu family. How could she not be anxious? The whole family was anxious like ants on a hot pot, scratching their heads, at a loss as to what to do.
