Beijing Marriage Entanglement

We ate breakfast inside the train station.

Lu Xingci bought a loaf of bread and a cup of coffee, and sat in the station's coffee shop for a while.

After the station announced the boarding information, Lu Xingci took his ticket, had it checked, and boarded the train.

She had no luggage and planned to take a nap after getting on the bus.

The message about my mother popped up at that moment.

Mom: [Xingci, I was angry last night, so please don't be angry with me anymore, okay?]

Mom: [Come back. This marriage is off. Your father has already returned the deposit from the Guo family.]

We're family, after all. Can't we sit down and have a proper talk?

Mom: Your dad and I thought a lot last night. We really have wronged you all these years.

Please give us a chance to make it up to you, okay?

It would be a lie to say that Lu Xingci was unmoved upon seeing the news about his mother.

After all, they are close relatives. Unless forced to, who would want to completely break ties with their biological parents?

But just as she was about to speak, her mother said something else.

By the way, is the guy you were with yesterday your boyfriend?

Let's bring him back with us. We'll meet him, get to know him better, and give you our opinion.

Lu Xingci frowned, a suspicion arising in his heart.

Why bring him along? He's just here for a regular friend.

Mother: [Impossible, what ordinary friend would rush into your house to stand up for you?]

Don't hide it from your mother anymore. You're so old now, it's time for you to date. There's no need to keep it a secret.

While Lu Xingci was still hesitating about how to reply, a call came in from an unknown number.

Lu Xingci pressed the answer button, and Guo Junfeng's furious questioning voice came through the receiver.

"Lu Xingci, what are you so arrogant about? So what if you're a little prettier?"

How dare they return my betrothal gifts!

Don't think I don't know that you're just using your looks to be a mistress to rich men!

Was that man from yesterday your sugar daddy?

You'd rather be someone else's mistress than marry me. I wouldn't want a slut like you even if you were given to me for free!

When Guo Junfeng received the refund in the morning, he was so angry that he threw a huge tantrum at home.

After thinking it over, I realized that the man from yesterday couldn't possibly be Lu Xingci's boyfriend.

If you have such a rich boyfriend, why don't you tell your family?

Therefore, the two must be in a sugar daddy/sugar baby relationship.

Feeling angry, Guo Junfeng called and berated Lu Xingci.

After he finished cursing, he was about to hang up when he heard Lu Xingci say something.

"Really? I was planning to invite you to dinner tonight so we could have a proper chat."

Upon hearing that there was hope, Guo Junfeng's attitude instantly changed completely.

"Tonight? Sure, I'm free tonight. Where shall we meet?"

"The food stalls across from Xinsha Hotel."

Guo Junfeng nodded in agreement without hesitation.

"Okay, I'll wait for you there tonight. See you there!"

The purpose of deliberately arranging to meet across from the hotel is self-evident.

Guo Junfeng's anger at being jilted vanished instantly.

He straightened his hair in front of the mirror and went out the door with a smug look on his face.

Indeed, the more beautiful a woman is, the more despicable she is.

In the car, Lu Xingci roughly guessed why Lu Zhenyu suddenly relented and why his mother's attitude suddenly changed.

It's highly likely that they realized Shen Yu was quite wealthy and wanted to get something out of him.

She even sold herself to Shen Yu at a higher price.

Her mother sent several more messages urging her to go back, but Lu Xingci ignored them and simply turned off her phone.

He turned his head to the other side, closed his eyes, and went to sleep.

The high-speed train back to Beijing will take several hours, so I can take a nap.

In her dazed state, she heard a man's voice beside her.

The voice was familiar and pleasant to hear.

Like Shen Yu.

However, Lu Xingci felt it couldn't be him.

After all, Shen Yu is probably still sleeping soundly in the hotel right now.

She ignored it and continued sleeping.

I was woken up by the sound of arguing.

Lu Xingci wearily lifted his eyelids, and the world in his eyes was tilted.

What happened? She fell asleep and leaned on the shoulder of the person next to her.

Just as she was about to get up and apologize, a large hand reached out and landed on her ear.

Is this to keep her from being disturbed and to cover her up?

Moreover, this arm looks so familiar.

On her pale, slender wrist was a simple red string.

She had seen it on Shen Yu's wrist.

The moment the name Shen Yu entered his mind, Lu Xingci sat up as if electrocuted.

"Shen Yu, what are you doing here?"

She clearly booked the tickets secretly, so how could she still be on the same train?

And they just happened to be right next to me.

Is this person a stalker?

Shen Yu raised an eyebrow and rubbed his sore arm.

"Tsk, you slept with me for so long and didn't even say thank you, just started interrogating me... ugh!"

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Xingci quickly reached out and covered it.

This person really doesn't know how to speak properly.

What do you mean by "slept with him for so long"? We clearly only slept together once.

Okay, it was many times throughout the night.

"What nonsense are you talking about! When did I sleep with you?!"

His lips gently brushed across her palm, his hot breath kissing her hand.

A tingling, itchy sensation seeped into my pores and spread along my bones to every part of my body.

Lu Xingci quickly withdrew his hand and instinctively scratched his palm.

Shen Yu smiled smugly, his eyebrows curving upwards.

"I was saying, you were leaning on my arm and sleeping for so long just now, wasn't that right?"

He said he put his elbows on the back of the chair and leaned his upper body down to get closer to her.

He curled his lips into a smile, a smile that was both unrestrained and carefree, and spoke with a pointed meaning.

"And besides, didn't you sleep with me?"

Lu Xingci glanced guiltily at the passengers opposite her, then frowned and glared at Shen Yu.

"Why are you here? Did you also buy a ticket for this train back?"

Shen Yu raised an eyebrow, straightened his body, and crossed his long legs.

"What, you can buy a ticket for this train, but I can't?"

"It can't be that much of a coincidence; you peeked at my ticket booking information!"

Shen Yu's lips curled up, the curve giving off a slightly roguish vibe.

Even after being exposed, he didn't feel guilty and just flicked his tongue inside his mouth.

"You caught me! What should we do? How about I treat you to dinner as an apology?"

He tilted his head slightly and added a sentence.

"I'll use the room fee you gave me."

Lu Xingci didn't even need to look to know that the expressions of the passengers opposite and behind him must be incredibly interesting at that moment.

When she goes up against Shen Yu, she's always at a disadvantage.

Therefore, she maintained a distance from Shen Yu by refusing to respond or acknowledging him.

It was already afternoon when the car arrived in Beijing.

Lu Xingci hurriedly left the station, trying to shake off Shen Yu.

There were so many people at the exit, and she was walking in a hurry.

I had just left the station when someone bumped into me from behind and I twisted my ankle.

Shen Yu quickly stepped forward and helped her up.

"Are you alright?"

After helping her steady herself, Shen Yu squatted down in front of her, placing his large hands on her ankles.

I gently rubbed it.

Looking at the man's soft hair whorl, Lu Xingci felt a warm current surge in his heart.

This was the first time a man had ever been so nervous about her.

Shen Yu looked up, his usual carefree and roguish demeanor suddenly replaced by a serious one.

"The sprain is quite severe; my ankle is swollen. If I try to walk any further, it will only get worse."

I'll take you to the hospital.

As he spoke, he got up and was about to pick Lu Xingci up in his arms.

Lu Xingci took a step back, limping.

"don't want!"

Shen Yu was already eye-catching, and he was the focus of attention for those around him when he was in the car.

Even after he got out of the car, passersby kept casting glances at him.

She wasn't the high-profile type like Shen Yu, and couldn't ignore the stares of those around her.

Shen Yu frowned and turned away.

"Then I'll carry you on my back."

Lu Xingci continued to refuse, and reached out to push his back.

"No need, I can walk by myself."

But after taking only one step, she winced in pain.

Shen Yu took a deep breath; his patience had run out.

"Or let me kiss you here, a deep kiss."

"Or, you'd better let me carry you."
