Beijing Marriage Entanglement

Shen Yu lowered his head, looking at Lu Xingci, his voice low and somber.

"Are you getting married?"

He finally managed to pry open the door to someone else, and now he's going to marry someone else?

Why did you rush back so quickly just to get married?

Lu Xingci raised his eyes and gazed into those captivating peach blossom eyes.

She gently shook her head, her voice soft and sweet, tinged with grievance and resentment.

"They sold me to pay for my brother's dowry."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yu gave a light scoff.

"Oh."

He had no idea that there were parents like that in the world.

Guo Junfeng's expression turned ugly the moment he saw Shen Yu.

Especially at this moment, the two were acting intimately and exchanging ambiguous glances.

He felt a surge of jealousy.

That's the wife he's about to marry, and she's just letting another man hold her hand like that?

Guo Junfeng slammed the cup down on the table and questioned him.

"Who is this man?"

I'm warning you, your family received my deposit, and you are my betrothed.

If you dare to flirt around outside, watch out, I'll teach you a lesson from the family.

"When did I agree to that?"

They collected the deposit; you should ask them for it back!

Lu Xingci turned around and retorted firmly.

Lu Zhenyu reprimanded him.

"I've already said it, this is settled. Are you deaf or can't you understand me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yu shot him a sharp glare.

Lu Zhenyu was speechless at that moment.

The man's imposing presence made him feel intimidated, but he still maintained the demeanor of the head of the household.

"This is a family matter, I advise you to mind your own business."

Lu Zhenyu knew perfectly well that even if the police came, this was a family matter.

No one can interfere.

Shen Yu reached out and pulled Lu Xingci behind him to protect her.

He took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, pulled out a lighter, and lit it by tilting his head.

He took a drag, exhaled a puff of smoke, and spoke casually.

"What if I absolutely have to get involved?"

Lu Zhenyu glanced at Lu Xingyao, and the two reached a silent understanding in the instant their eyes met.

When Lu Zhenyu reached out to grab Lu Xingci, Lu Xingyao also stepped forward.

But the next second, the cigarette butt landed on the back of his hand.

The scalding heat made Lu Zhenyu and the puppy whose tail had been stepped on howl in pain.

Lu Xingyao, who also stepped forward, didn't fare well either. He was kicked in the stomach by Shen Yu's long leg and sent flying.

I bumped my back on the TV cabinet and it hurt so much I couldn't stand up.

Wu Xiaotang, who had initially felt sorry for Lu Xingci, immediately ran to Lu Xingyao, helped him up, and angrily questioned him.

"Who are you? What right do you have to meddle in our business? What right do you have to hit my son!"

Shen Yu lifted his eyelids and coldly glanced at the three of them.

He flicked the cigarette butt hard, sending it flying toward Guo Junfeng, who was watching the scene from the sidelines but dared not approach.

"She's not going to marry you."

After saying that, he stretched his long arm back, accurately grasped Lu Xingci's wrist, and took him away openly and legitimately.

The building is old and has no elevator.

The stairwell was narrow and dark, with only a few lights on two floors.

Shen Yu turned on his phone's flashlight, shone it behind him, and pulled her downstairs.

Lu Xingci was completely stunned.

Why did Shen Yu come?

Why would he meddle in other people's business?

Was it Song Qinghui who sent him?

When they reached the third floor, Lu Xingci suddenly stopped.

Shen Yu, who was walking in front, was also forced to stop.

He turned around in surprise.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Xingci pursed her lips.

"My bag is still up there."

As soon as they came out of the station, Lu Xingyao was exceptionally warm and considerate, carrying her bag all the way home.

At the time, she felt that Lu Xingyao had finally grown up and become sensible.

Looking back now, I realize that they had been preparing for her escape all along.

Shen Yu turned around and took a step up to get closer to her.

"Beg me, just beg me and I'll go back and get it for you."

Lu Xingci wanted to stand firm, but she knew very well that if she went back, she would never be able to leave.

But my bag contains my ID card and mobile phone; without them, I absolutely cannot return to Beijing.

So she pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke in a soft voice.

"Please, help me get this. My ID card and phone are inside."

Shen Yu shook his head and spoke with a joking tone.

"This is not the right way to ask for help."

He leaned down, tilted his head, and tapped his cheek with his long, slender, pale fingers.

Lu Xingci swallowed hard; her breathing was unusually clear in the dimly lit and quiet stairwell.

She leaned forward slightly and gently touched Shen Yu's cheek with her lips.

But it was only touched briefly before being immediately moved away.

But it was just this one touch that caused an alluring blush to quickly spread across Lu Xingci's fair face.

She lowered her head shyly, her voice soft and sweet, carrying a charm she herself was unaware of.

"Is it okay now?"

Shen Yuqiang suppressed a smile and straightened his body.

"Wait for me here."

He handed the phone to Lu Xingci, and then went upstairs in the dark.

Lu Xingci listened to the clattering footsteps and watched the black figure quickly disappear from sight.

She looked down at the phone that had been shoved into her hand.

Although it was just to leave her a glimmer of light.

Even after three years of being with Song Qinghui, he had never entrusted his phone to him with such ease.

Moreover, Shen Yu's phone was unlocked, so if she wanted to look for something, she could find it immediately.

Lu Xingci immediately recalled what her best friend Xu Zhiwei had said before.

"If a man is willing to give you his phone without worrying about you checking it, it means he truly loves you."

When she said that, she was criticizing Song Qinghui.

Lu Xingci didn't take it to heart.

After all, she never intended to check the other person's phone; she didn't have such a strong voyeuristic or possessive desire.

But at this moment, Shen Yu's unintentional little gesture warmed her heart.

Is he really that confident in himself?

The next second, a man screamed overhead, followed by the sound of ping-pong balls and bowls hitting the ground.

Lu Xingci's heart clenched involuntarily.

He was alone, while Lu Zhenyu and his group of three or four were together. Could it be that he was being bullied by them because they outnumbered him while he was carrying his bag?

Lu Xingci turned around, about to go up and help, when he saw Shen Yu walking briskly downstairs.

He slung his beige leather bag over his shoulder, grabbed Lu Xingci's hand as he passed by, and strode downstairs.

"Do you think what we're doing counts as eloping?"

The emotion that Lu Xingci felt was completely dispelled by his teasing remark.

She pulled her hand back, glared at him, and took the bag back to carry it on her back.

"Thanks."

As soon as the two reached the bottom of the building, Guo Junfeng poked his head out of the window.

He called her name.

"Lu Xingci, you'd better think this through. If you run off with another man, I will never marry you!"

Lu Xingci turned around and glared at him.

"Then thank you."

Guo Junfeng gripped the railing, looking anxious.

Before he could even utter the words "I have a Mercedes," he saw the man open the door of the Maybach and get in.

Mercedes-Benz has many different series, some expensive and some inexpensive.

His secondhand Mercedes was naturally no match for the Maybach.

Guo Junfeng swallowed his words and turned around to glare hatefully at Lu Xingyao.

"Are you kidding me? Your sister has already found a man who drives a Maybach, and you're still trying to trick me into giving her a 38 yuan dowry?"
