Chapter 11

Mrs. Lu: "Qingqiu, try this. I know you like Cantonese cuisine, so your uncle specially invited a Cantonese chef to cook at home today."

"Thank you, Auntie."

Mr. Lu: "Qingqiu, try this crab congee. It’s good for your skin and health! I ordered the crabs this morning, and they were caught in the first net. They were still alive and kicking when they were air-freighted to Xuecheng."

"Thank you, Uncle, no need to be so formal."

Mrs. Lu: "Qingqiu, try this. Does it taste like the food from your hometown?"

"Yes, it really does."

Mr. Lu: "And this, eat it with foie gras. It nourishes the blood and boosts your immune system."

Leng Qingqiu was treated with the highest respect.

Of course, as the eldest daughter of the Leng family and the chairman of Qianfeng Group, Leng Qingqiu would always be treated with the highest规格的接待和礼遇 wherever she went.

But today was different.

Her status was different.

She had impulsively agreed to the engagement, and this elderly couple clearly treated her as their future daughter-in-law.

Their attentiveness and care were not the kind of politeness and courtesy shown to a VIP or a group president, but the kind of care and affection shown to a family member.

This kind of treatment was something Leng Qingqiu had never experienced before.

She couldn't help but be captivated.

Her family was a rational one, lacking the warmth and烟火气 of the Lu family. They were not as free, unrestrained, and casual as the Lu family.

Family gatherings in her home were more like formalities, with everyone being polite and following table manners.

They would never be like the Lu family, where all the good dishes would be moved to her side as soon as she sat down.

Leng Qingqiu envied Lu Chengwen.

The noise and chaos in his family didn't feel crude or impolite; instead, it had a strong family atmosphere and a warm, cozy vibe.

Even when Lu Chengwen and his father argued and fought, it made Leng Qingqiu feel so happy and content.

Lu Chengwen stood to the side: "Dad, Mom, I'm hungry too."

Mr. Lu turned and immediately changed his expression, glaring: "Get lost!"

Leng Qingqiu burst out laughing.

Mrs. Lu quickly said: "Qingqiu, ignore him. This time, he was in the wrong. Your uncle has already punished him. Forgive him, okay? Actually, Chengwen has always been a well-rounded and compassionate child. You grew up together, so you know him."

"Ah, it was just those few years in college. His father was sick, and he had to hold up the family business. We didn't have time to discipline him properly, so we just gave him money. As a result, he picked up a lot of bad habits. But at the core, Chengwen is a good person..."

Mr. Lu said: "He's just a scoundrel! Qingqiu, don't mind him. If he bullies you again, just call me, and I'll stand up for you anytime."

Leng Qingqiu quickly said: "Actually, it's not that bad. In the past three years, my attitude wasn't good, and I spoke harshly to you and Uncle. I apologize to you both."

"Oh, let's not talk about the past. As parents, we can't be too serious with our children!"

"This kid is shameless. Sometimes when he acts shamelessly, it makes us angry too. Eat, eat..."

Lu Chengwen watched as the family enjoyed their meal, but he was starving and on the verge of tears.

As he walked out, he saw his younger brother, Lu Chengwu, just entering the door. They looked at each other.

Lu Chengwen pointed: "You, stand still!"

Lu Chengwu, looking panicked, turned and ran.

"Brat, stand still!"

Just as Lu Chengwen was about to chase his mischievous brother, he heard the system notification:

Ding!

"Please accept the first-day gift package!"

Lu Chengwen stood there, his heart racing.

It's here!

The first-day gift package, hey! With this, I won't have to worry about being chased by Qingxia anymore.

System: "Congratulations on successfully surviving the first-day trial. You have survived for twenty-four hours in this world. Now, please accept the first-day gift package!"

Lu Chengwen quickly ran into the bathroom and locked the door.

Above his line of sight, a large screen appeared, filled with various gift icons in different grids.

Lu Chengwen couldn't contain his excitement.

He opened the first one:

"Jade Maiden Soul-Enchanting Pill, to quickly get the heroine in the mood, you know what I mean."

Lu Chengwen's expression froze: "Isn't this just asking for trouble? I can't get them to stay away from me fast enough. What's the point of this? Garbage."

He opened the second one:

"Triple X-ray Vision. Choose three heroines to see through. Guaranteed to make you nosebleed."

Lu Chengwen lowered his head: "Isn't this supposed to be a gift package? What's all this nonsense? Just a bunch of low-class stuff! Is there anything good? Something that can make me... strong enough to handle even Long Aotian?"

He opened the third one:

"Pregnancy Preservation Pill, if the heroine gets pregnant with your child..."

"I'll be dead!" Lu Chengwen angrily shouted: "Why are all these things just asking for trouble? Is there nothing serious? What about something like the Great Shift Technique or the Immovable Ming King Power?"

He opened the fourth one:

"Hero Disappearance Card, limited to one day. This card can prevent the main hero Long Aotian from appearing, provided you don't do anything bad and don't harm the heroine. Do you want to use it now?"

"Ha ha ha!" Lu Chengwen, with tears in his eyes: "Just one day, huh? Fine, fine, at least it's something serious. Use it, I want to celebrate Children's Day today."

He opened the fifth one:

"Sexual Fantasy Kit! Passion always comes in the dead of night, with whips, ropes, blindfolds, sexy lingerie, handcuffs..."

Lu Chengwen pressed it: "You can tell I'm an adult! What does this have to do with completing my mission? I can buy this stuff myself if I like it. Showing off? Showing off?"

He opened the sixth one:

"Teleportation Card. Instantly teleport to any location within a five-meter radius, can pass through obstacles."

Lu Chengwen was surprised and quickly took it, finally showing a satisfied smile: "This is something serious. With this, I have a better chance of escaping."

At that moment, his mother knocked on the bathroom door: "Chengwen, Qingqiu is leaving. Go see her off."

Lu Chengwen didn't open the door, shouting: "I know, let her go by herself. I'm busy."

His father's voice came from outside: "It's fine, I'll get a broom. You find someone to open this door."

Lu Chengwen was extremely frustrated: "I'm coming out!"

...

In the garage, Lu Chengwen scratched his head, full of questions.

Most of the cars in the garage were his father's, mainly business cars, sedans, and vans.

He also had two sports cars parked there.

In his memory, he had a separate garage, but not in this villa.

Here, he only had two sports cars.

Zhao Gang ran up: "Young Master, which one are you taking today?"

Lu Chengwen rubbed his chin and pointed to a car: "Bring me the keys to this one."

Zhao Gang was surprised: "Young Master, this is the Master's car."

"One car, I won't die from driving it."

"Oh, but this car..."

"What's wrong?"

"It doesn't match your status!"

It was a low-key luxury car, unremarkable from the outside but very expensive.

"Fine, this one."

Leng Qingqiu didn't realize how much her perception of Lu Chengwen had changed.

The events of the past two days made her feel like she didn't know this person at all before.

The old Lu Chengwen would make her want to collapse within three minutes of being with him, and just seeing him would make her feel nauseous. Even hearing his name would ruin her appetite.

But today, she actually lingered, asking him to drive her back to the company.

A phone call, and no one would come to pick her up?

But Leng Qingqiu didn't call, just waited for Lu Guanghong to force Lu Chengwen to drive her with a broom.

Of course, one reason was that she no longer felt such deep disgust for Lu Chengwen, though she hadn't realized it herself.

Leng Qingqiu just suddenly found Lu Chengwen quite amusing.

The other reason was that there were too many mysteries about Lu Chengwen, and she needed to get to the bottom of them.

Sitting in the back seat, Leng Qingqiu calmly watched the scenery pass by, thinking about how to confront Lu Chengwen.

Lu Chengwen kept looking at Leng Qingqiu in the rearview mirror, inwardly marveling.

【She's really beautiful, how can she be so beautiful? Is there really a woman in this world who can look like this? It must be a doll, right?】

Leng Qingqiu knew she was beautiful, having been praised for it since childhood, almost every day. So she was numb to such compliments, even finding them annoying.

But being genuinely admired for her stunning beauty, being treated so equally, and being so captivating, made her feel very pleased and secretly delighted.

A smile crept onto her lips.

【Oh, I need to think of a way to get her to stay away from me. How did things get so messed up? She even came to drink with me and slept at my place. What a ridiculous plot.】

Leng Qingqiu's smile faded, looking at Lu Chengwen: "Why are you suddenly so annoyed with me?"

Lu Chengwen was taken aback: "No! Why would I be annoyed with you? Everyone in Xuecheng knows how much I like you, ha ha, he he, ha ha he he. Cough, no... not... I just... um."

Lu Chengwen's insincere response made Leng Qingqiu even more sad.

A man who had pursued her for three years, persistently and tirelessly, suddenly turned around and wanted nothing to do with her, as if he wanted her to disappear from the earth.

This stark contrast was hard for Leng Qingqiu to accept.

She used to think Lu Chengwen was like a pile of dog poop, but... now, for some reason, she felt a deep sense of unease, as if she was losing something precious.

She was very frustrated.

Leng Qingqiu looked out the window, trying to stay calm: "Do you have someone else you like? So you don't want me anymore?"

"Ah?" Lu Chengwen was taken aback, then quickly said: "Yes."

Leng Qingqiu was shocked, more shocked and angry than she expected.

"Who is it?"

"Hey, just someone."

"Who?"

"Does it matter?"

"Yes."

Leng Qingqiu said: "I need to know who beat me and became your new favorite."

Lu Chengwen pulled the car over to the side of the road.

He thought this was a great opportunity to be honest.

"Qingqiu, I have one question for you. Do you want the marriage alliance?"

"No."

"Do you like me?"

"No."

"Do you hate me?"

"Very much."

"There you go!"

Lu Chengwen said: "You don't want the marriage alliance, you don't like me, and you even find me annoying and hate me. Why are we engaged? We should both go back and tell our parents we don't agree to the engagement. You tell your parents I don't agree, and I'll tell my parents I don't agree. Isn't that a perfect solution?"

"But I want to know why."

"The reason is that I'm fickle, I like someone else! Isn't that normal for a playboy like me?"

"Who is it?"

Lu Chengwen was about to go crazy, actually amused by this woman: "Does it matter?"

"It matters a lot."

At that moment, Lu Chengwen's phone rang.

He glanced at the number, inwardly praising the timing.

He answered with a smile: "Hello! Snowy Sister!"

Xu Xuejiao was clearly taken aback. Yesterday, he was so annoyed with her, but today he was suddenly so sweet?

Xu Xuejiao played along: "Chengwen Brother, you must have been exhausted last night, right?"

"Ah, you really are a little devil!"

"Hehe, don't talk nonsense, or I'll hit you! There's a press conference today, so come quickly. We need to go over the script."

"Okay, okay, but you have to wear a JK uniform for me."

"Stop it, you! What press conference has people wearing uniforms..."

Leng Qingqiu opened the car door and slammed it shut, then walked away.
