Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Chapter 408: Chen Wenwen sold by her biological parents (rounded to 6k words)
A lot of mosquitoes? No one would believe that! Not to mention that it is the middle of winter, even with the five-star facilities of the Regent Hotel, there is no way there would be mosquitoes in the toilet.

Looking at the tattoo-like strawberry mark on Lu Mingfei's neck, Chen's father's expression was a little embarrassed. No wonder the two of them went to the toilet for so long just now, and they followed one after the other. It turned out that going to the toilet was just an excuse, and the two of them were looking for a chance to go out and make out.

The uncle's expression was also very serious, but his mood at the moment was completely opposite to that of Chen's father. If he hadn't been concerned about retaining some dignity as an elder, he would have been overjoyed, thinking that Ming Fei was worthy of being a descendant of the Lao Lu family and was really good at doing this kind of thing.

Chen Wenwen blushed and stuffed the scarf back to Lu Mingfei. Lu Mingfei took the scarf and hesitated for a moment before putting it on himself. Chen Wenwen's parents and uncle had seen the strawberry marks on her neck, and putting it on would only make it more obvious.

Moreover, looking at the eyes jumping back and forth between him and Chen Wenwen, it seemed that the uncles thought that the strawberries on his neck were all grown by Chen Wenwen for him?

I didn't expect Chen Wenwen to take the blame for me for no apparent reason...

But Lu Mingfei felt that something seemed strange.

From the perspective of my uncle and the others, I left with Chen Wenwen at the same time. I was fine before leaving, but when I came back, I had a neck full of strawberry marks. Combined with Chen Wenwen's shy expression at the time, it seems reasonable to speculate that something happened after I and Chen Wenwen left...

And something did happen between him and Chen Wenwen. Chen Wenwen held his neck and bit him.

What puzzled him was the reactions of his uncle and his family. Why didn't his uncle or Chen Wenwen's parents seem to have any special reactions to Chen Wenwen planting strawberries for him?

Normally, if a parent knew that their daughter was kissing a boy classmate, wouldn't they be furious and kill him on the spot? How could she still be so calm?

Lu Mingfei suddenly thought of what his uncle had said before, about the two families having a meal together, about dressing nicely when meeting each other's parents for the first time, about his uncle and aunt mistakenly thinking that Chen Wenwen was his girlfriend, and about his uncle and Chen Wenwen's father seeing him sending Chen Wenwen home...

Lu Mingfei was stunned, thinking, could it be that his uncles and the others mistook Chen Wenwen for his girlfriend?

Thinking about it this way, all the inexplicable things that happened before seemed to be connected. No wonder the atmosphere was like meeting the parents. Chen Wenwen's mother even asked herself those questions, such as "How did I and Chen Wenwen know each other?" It turned out that this was really like meeting the parents.

Although Lu Mingfei had thought about this kind of parent-child meeting, he never expected that the first person to meet his uncle as the niece-in-law would be Chen Wenwen. He was even planning to introduce Liu Miaomiao to his uncle and the others first.

But it doesn't matter? Because now Chen Wenwen seems to be his girlfriend. Although Chen Wenwen hasn't agreed directly, she can't deny it anyway. If she doesn't want to be his girlfriend, why does she suddenly hug his neck and bite him? If you do something bad, you have to take responsibility!

Now that we've met, then... just let it be.

"Sometimes you still have to be careful and not be too extreme." Father Chen cleared his throat and said expressionlessly.

Lu Mingfei knew that he was being pointed at, so he answered respectfully, "Got it, Uncle Chen."

Although he didn't do anything, it was Chen Wenwen who took the initiative to assault him in the bathroom just now.

Mr. Zhao at the side smiled and said helpfully: "Times are different now. Children are much more open-minded than those in our generation. I hope my boy can be more mature and help me find a daughter-in-law someday..."

My uncle also smiled and responded: "Yes, yes."

Father Chen smiled and thought, what the hell! You guys are all sons, and I have a daughter. Although I don't favor boys over girls and only care about my precious daughter, but you guys are kidnapping people home, and I'm marrying off my daughter, how can the two be the same?

Lu Mingfei thought that his uncle said that Mr. Zhao’s son also studied at Shilan Middle School, so his son should have the same surname, Zhao, as him. Could it be that his son just happened to be Zhao Menghua?

That shouldn’t be the case. There is no such a coincidence in the world.

However, this time the topic at the dinner table did not stay on Lu Mingfei and Chen Wenwen for too long, and soon returned to Mr. Zhao.

Lu Mingfei was concentrating on dealing with his two somewhat difficult-to-peel lobsters. From the sporadic conversations between the few people, he heard that they seemed to have had some kind of cooperation project before.

Uncle, Uncle Chen and Mr. Zhao are all the leaders of this project. The school provides the technology, the government provides the land, and the enterprise provides the funds. No wonder the uncle who is a civil servant in a local unit is related to Chen Wenwen's father who is a university professor and Mr. Zhao who is a businessman.

The reason why my uncle invited me to dinner today was probably not just to meet my parents, but more to discuss work. Having lived under his uncle's roof for more than a decade, Lu Mingfei knew his uncle's character very well.

However, Lu Mingfei didn't care much about his uncle's affairs. He was only concerned about why the meat of these two Macrobrachium rosenbergii tasted a bit old. They didn't look like fresh shrimps, but like frozen goods that had been frozen for a day or two.

Well, it seems that the quality control of five-star hotels is also average. The best thing about the Regent Hotel is probably the salmon roll for breakfast, right? Although he has never tried it.

Lu Mingfei casually picked up the cup beside him, drank a sip of the tea in it and rinsed his mouth to suppress the earthy smell in his mouth.

"Um, Lu Mingfei..." Chen Wenwen's voice came from the side.

"Hmm?" Lu Mingfei turned around naturally.

Chen Wenwen's pretty face turned slightly red, and she spoke hesitantly: "It seems that the cup you are holding is my cup."

Lu Mingfei was startled, looked at the cup in his hand, and then immediately put it in front of Chen Wenwen: "Sorry, I didn't notice that I took the wrong one."

Chen Wenwen lowered her eyes and said "It's okay", looking at the cup in front of her, wondering if she should ask the waiter to change the cup. If she didn't change it, would Lu Mingfei think that she agreed to be his girlfriend? It would be difficult to deal with if she was misunderstood. But if she changed it, would Lu Mingfei think that she disliked her or something.

She looked up stealthily at her parents who were sitting opposite her. Fortunately, they were still talking about adult topics and didn't notice what was happening here.

After hesitating for a while, Chen Wenwen decided not to ask the waiter to change a new one. After all, she had missed Lu Mingfei's coffee before.

Lu Mingfei also hoped that Mr. Zhao could sit for a while longer, so that the topic would not return to them and he could finish the meal in peace and comfort.

However, after seeing Lu Mingfei and the others coming back, Mr. Zhao only said a few words, then immediately stood up and hurriedly ended the topic, saying that he was leaving.

My uncle wanted to keep him, but Mr. Zhao immediately waved his hand and declined, saying that he just happened to see Professor Chen and Section Chief Lu there, so he came to say hello, and he also had a dinner party, so he had to go back immediately, otherwise he would neglect them.

"Mr. Zhao is really a busy man."

After seeing the man leave, the uncle sighed: "No wonder he has such a big business. He doesn't even take a break on New Year's Day to accompany clients to discuss work. If he doesn't make money, who will?"

Father Chen shook his head. He still retained some of the character of an old scholar and was not materialistic.

He thinks money is a good thing, but how much can you earn? Even the richest man in the world cannot earn all the money in the world. Moreover, the essence of making money is to live a happy life. If you don’t even have time to spend with your family on New Year’s Day, isn’t that putting the cart before the horse? As long as it’s enough, it’s fine.

Although my income is not high and my family income is just reaching a well-off level, my life is relatively free. I have two days off a week and I can take holidays with my students during winter and summer vacations. I can use the free time to accompany my wife and daughter to travel. Although my material life is average, I am spiritually rich.

"..."

Father Chen thought about it, put on a poker face again, and looked at Lu Mingfei coldly.

Even my rich spiritual world is about to be hollowed out by the little wild boar opposite me.

Lu Mingfei looked at his Uncle Chen harmlessly, not knowing what he had done to make Uncle Chen look at him so coldly all of a sudden.

Chen's mother noticed Chen's father's expression and patted his hand gently: "Children always have to grow up."

Upon hearing this, Father Chen turned around and met his wife's eyes, then sighed in his heart.

Indeed, children always have to grow up, just like an eagle on the mountain, there will always be a time when they have to leave their parents and fly away. One can protect her for a while, but cannot protect her for a lifetime.

Although he used to resist Lu Mingfei's existence because of his status, in recent contacts, he felt that Lu Mingfei should be a good boy, with good grades, a strong desire to make progress, and his parents were both from highly educated families. He should be in good condition. At least he is better as Wenwen's boyfriend than any random yellow-haired boy. In the future, when they talk about marriage, they can be considered a good match, and they will not be in the wrong relationship.
Thinking of this, Father Chen suddenly turned around and said, "Student Lu."

"What's wrong, Uncle Chen?" Seeing the serious expression on Chen's father's face, Lu Mingfei immediately sat down when his name was called. Chen Wenwen also looked at her father curiously, wondering why he suddenly became so serious.

"You and Wenwen are in love, and your uncle and aunt have tacitly agreed." Father Chen spoke earnestly, as if Liu Bei entrusted his son to others in Baidi City. "But this does not mean that your uncle agrees with you. Wenwen is my only daughter. You must treat her well in the future and not bully her. I know your uncle. If you do anything to make Wenwen sad, I will come to your house in person to question you."

Two question marks immediately appeared in Chen Wenwen's beautiful eyes. She looked confused and still had no idea what was going on.

Didn't the topic change too quickly... No, it was too weird! What did Lu Mingfei mean by being nice to her and not bullying her? She hadn't even officially agreed to Lu Mingfei, so why did her own father send her out first?

Not to mention that she and Lu Mingfei haven't started dating yet, even if they are dating, it's still a long way from "the future", right? How come they were talking about work just a second ago, and now it's like an old father marrying his daughter?

Wait! Moms, why are you wiping your tears with a tissue? Did someone see me kissing Lu Mingfei? But there’s no need to sacrifice my whole life for it. I just kissed Lu Mingfei a strawberry…

Chen Wenwen sat in her seat in a daze, not knowing where to start. At this moment, Lu Mingfei next to her suddenly reached out his hand, grabbed her two small hands and held them in his palms, and looked into her stunned eyes.

“Don’t worry, uncle and aunt.” Lu Mingfei looked affectionate, as if he was immersed in the role just like Chen Wenwen’s parents: “I will treat Wenwen well for the rest of my life and will never bully her. I promise.”

What are you promising?! I haven't even promised you yet! ...

Chen Wenwen looked at Lu Mingfei's face, her heart jumping like a little rabbit. She didn't know what happened in that minute, she only knew that she seemed to have been pushed onto a pirate ship from which there was no turning back by her parents.

Maybe she should make some explanation for the current situation, such as telling her parents that there was nothing between her and Lu Mingfei... But when Lao Lu patted his chest and said, "Wenwen, don't worry. If Mingfei dares to bully you, your uncle will help you beat him up," she couldn't help but nodded and replied "hmm".

……

The food in five-star hotels is served slowly, especially the buffet dishes, which are served to you one bite at a time. A whole meal can take two to three hours, just like the kaiseki cuisine that Lu Mingfei had eaten in Neon.

In contrast, Chen Wenwen was in a state of confusion, as if she was in a fog, and she didn't know how she finished the meal. She only remembered that she was sold by her biological parents... After being entrusted to Lu Mingfei, she had no memory of anything else, and let Lu Mingfei hold her little hand in his hand and squeeze and rub it from time to time.

She didn't even hear them leaving after dinner, and it was Lu Mingfei who stood up holding her arm.

Uncle took his wallet to the front desk to pay, and Chen's father also rushed to pay the bill with his wallet like a "Chinese man". Chen Wenwen stood beside Lu Mingfei obediently, but her hands were very proudly stuffed into her down jacket pockets, not letting Lu Mingfei hold them.

At this time, Lu Mingfei suddenly came over and blew into her ear:

"Do you know what's going on with today's meal?" Lu Mingfei asked.

Chen Wenwen looked at him, shook her head and said, "I don't know."

"It seems that your parents and my uncle both think I'm your girlfriend." Lu Mingfei said, "That day when I was sending you home after visiting the amusement park with you, didn't I just bump into your father and my uncle? Then they arranged this dinner, which means that the two of us seem to be here to meet your parents today."

Chen Wenwen blinked her eyes. Just because of this? Because Lu Mingfei sent her home once, her parents thought Lu Mingfei was her boyfriend? But considering her parents' strange behavior.

No wonder all the questions at the dinner table today revolved around her and Lu Mingfei. They asked a bunch of strange questions, such as whether Lu Mingfei was good to her, and how she viewed Lu Mingfei. It was like asking a parent about a child who was in love too early. She thought her parents were just concerned about her interpersonal relationships and spoke well of Lu Mingfei.

If she had known this would happen, she should have said more bad things about Lu Mingfei! He bullied her every day, rubbed her legs secretly, and kissed her without taking responsibility...

"But they are not wrong. You are my girlfriend." Lu Mingfei whispered in her ear.

"Who is your girlfriend?" Chen Wenwen felt her ears burning and quickly moved half a step to the side: "I haven't promised you yet, okay?"

“Didn’t agree?” Lu Mingfei blinked innocently. “If you didn’t agree, why did you kiss me just now? There is evidence of your crime on my neck.”

"I, I did that!" Chen Wenwen was speechless. She blushed and held it in for a long time before she bit her lip and said, "Didn't you kiss me in the hospital before? And that was my virginity... I just wanted to get my money back. Now we are even, and neither of us owes anyone anything."

Lu Mingfei turned his head to look at her: "Nothing owed each other?"

Chen Wenwen looked straight ahead, ignoring Lu Mingfei's eager gaze, and nodded in a sonorous tone, pretending to be calm: "We don't owe each other anything."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Lu Mingfei's face suddenly get bigger in her peripheral vision. Before she could react, Lu Mingfei hugged her waist and the high ground of her lips was instantly occupied by him.

Chen Wenwen's eyes widened instantly, and she remembered the series of dreams she had last night... So today, is she really at the Regent Hotel?
After all, they were still in the hotel, with many people around, and her parents were still in front, so Lu Mingfei just pecked Chen Wenwen's lips for a few seconds and left immediately.

Hmm...soft and fragrant. The ancients said that a man of culture is naturally elegant. I didn't expect that reading too many books would make your mouth taste so delicious...it's a pity that I couldn't kiss you for too long.

Seeing the dull look in Chen Wenwen's eyes, Lu Mingfei touched her head and said with a wicked smile: "Now I owe you again. When are you going to come back? Now?"

Chen Wenwen's eyes were filled with shame, and she pushed Lu Mingfei's chest with her small hands: "You... hooligan!"

Although she had known that Lu Mingfei was a bit mean, she had never expected him to be so shameless and to resort to sneak attacks. No wonder Miaomiao and Mastiff were so well controlled by him...

Sure enough, once she jumped on this pirate ship, there was no way back.

Chen Wenwen hesitated for a moment, then suddenly buried her face in Lu Mingfei's chest again and whispered, "You are so bad, Lu Mingfei."

"Why am I broken?"

"That's where you're bad. You're playing dumb. You clearly know where you're bad, but you're pretending to know nothing." Chen Wenwen said aggrievedly, "You already had a girlfriend as good as Miaomiao, but you were still with Qiangqiang... and now you're with me..."

Lu Mingfei's mind moved, and his other hand stroked Chen Wenwen's back and her hair: "I am a little bad, but that's because I like you too much, so..."

"Don't make excuses, I'm just bad." Chen Wenwen buried her face in her clothes, and her voice sounded muffled.

"Okay, then I am bad." Lu Mingfei replied honestly.

"And you're holding me now, but you're going to look for Qiangqiang later. You're so mean!"

"..."

Lu Mingfei suddenly felt that his behavior was a bit excessive. He had just conquered Chen Wenwen, and now he was going to look for the little angel... He was just like a sea king who calculated the time to date several girls.

He was hesitant about whether to just take Chen Wenwen with him on the date? Anyway, he would have to call Miaomiao later, and the four of them would often go out together...

At this time, Chen Wenwen's voice rang out again: "But I know that you are a scumbag and a bad person, but I still like you so much, Mingfei, do you think I am stupid?"

Through their bodies pressed together, Lu Mingfei could feel Chen Wenwen's heart beating wildly in her chest. She was probably also very scared, having never experienced such a relationship before, and she didn't know where this relationship would go in the future.

Lu Mingfei used a little more force to hold Chen Wenwen tightly in his arms: "Chen Wenwen, you are indeed a little stupid sometimes... But, I believe that time will prove that at least the choice you made now is not wrong."

Chen Wenwen buried herself in Lu Mingfei's arms in silence, with only their heartbeats being exchanged through the hug. For a moment, Lu Mingfei felt that he might have to hold Chen Wenwen like this for the rest of his life, but the next moment, Chen Wenwen sobbed and said, "Then I'll believe you this time, and I hope you can perform well."

Lu Mingfei gently stroked Chen Wenwen's back: "Definitely."

At this moment, a "cough cough" sound suddenly came from the front of the two. They turned their heads at the same time and saw Chen's father looking at them sternly.

Lu Mingfei quickly loosened his hand around Chen Wenwen's slender waist. Chen Wenwen also immediately looked away, not wanting her father to see her red eyes, and gently stroked her long hair.
