He was actually the son of Shen Junan!

It didn't look like his father was controlling a whole province's worth of troops. On the contrary, Lin Junmai looked somewhat similar to Shen Junan.

Qiao Ruo was secretly surprised.

Shen Qiao politely smiled, then turned around to the side with Gu Wanxia.

Lin Junyi really wanted to teach her how to dance, but Qiao Ruozhu didn't have such thoughts. Her whole body was stiff, and her mind was in chaos.

"If you don't like it, I'll carry you out for a rendezvous, okay?" Lin Junyi saw that she was not in a state of mind at all, and seemed to be very considerate.

Qiao Ruo knew that he was about to act like a scoundrel again, so she gritted her teeth and said: "I'll learn, I'll learn!"

In a place where the lights were still on, Shen Junnan and Gu Fangfang were drinking together. They saw Shen Qiao and Gu Wanjia dance one after another, and the two of them smiled at each other in tacit understanding.

"My son Shen Qiao seems to be very fond of Ling Yuan." Lin Junan toasted her with a glass of wine.

"If that is the case, then it is indeed a true match." Surprised by the gesture, Ku Fangfang quickly returned a toast.

He took a glass of wine and drank half of it quickly. He was not strong enough to drink, so he walked with a slight sway.

"Young Master Zhi." Wearing a jade western dress, Yao Sitong saw that Qiao Ruo Chu had left Gu Jun to dance with other men. She mustered the courage to walk over and greet him.

Gu Jun was startled for a moment before he thought of her. She was Qiao Ruochen's classmate, so she had greeted him.

"Hello, Miss Yao." he said politely.

Yao Sian looked at the dance floor, her face flushing.

Gu Jun understood tacitly, making an inviting gesture with his hand. He gently wrapped his arms around Yao Sitong's waist and danced along with the music.

However, he was a little absent-minded, and Yao Sitong's dancing wasn't very good either. The two of them didn't have any tacit understanding, so they could barely play a tune together. Yao Sitong was so nervous that she was sweating profusely.

Lin Junyi had been very patient when he taught her to dance, and when she accidentally stepped on him, he would laugh at her stupidity. When he took the opportunity to step on her, he saw that she was playing a trick on him, and when she was about to step on him again, he accidentally kissed her on the lips.

"Ruo Ruo, how about I devote my life to you tonight?" Lin Jun Mai's eyes were glued to her for a long time, unwilling to look away.

"Don't do that." Qiao Ruo Chu's teeth chattered as she spoke in a cold voice.

She was dragged to the dance floor in front of Kuniu, told Shen that she was his future wife, that her father might have seen her with him, that tonight her secret had been revealed to everyone by him without any scruples, and that her peaceful life would have been completely disrupted.

"I'm going to find my father." The dance ended, it was time for the end of the dance, Qiao Ruozhu begged.

Lin Jungong held her tightly and did not say a word. He kissed her hair and her hair, and Qiao Ruo slowly broke away from him. He did not use any more strength, so she took the opportunity to turn around and slip away.

When they left, Gu Fangfang and Gu Jun saw them off at the door. When the Qiao family's father and daughter went over to thank them, Gu Fangfang's gaze lingered on her face for a few seconds before she said to Qiao Qingya, "Your love truly has the demeanor of a mother."

Gu Jun looked longingly at Qiao Ruoxi, as if he had thousands of words to say.

Qiao Qingya smiled and said a few modest words before quickly leaving with his daughter.

"Chu'er, I thought I saw you and Chief of Staff Lin tonight …" The car had just arrived when Qiao Qing Ya impatiently asked his daughter.

"He invited me to a dance."

Qiao Qing Ya knew that his daughter didn't know how to dance and had a ball of doubt within his heart, so he didn't immediately ask.

After returning home, Qiao Qingya called his daughter to his study, closed the door and window, and said seriously: "Chu, I heard that there was a group of bandits in the Xiang City that specialized in the plundering of tombs, and the government strictly forbade the excavation of tombs of the ancestors. However, several tombs in our Cheng City have already been excavated right under their noses.

"Father is worried that someone is looking for a descendant of the Qiao family and purposely wants to get close to your daughter?" A trace of vigilance flashed through Qiao Ruo's eyes.

"Ever since Sun Wangying dug out the East Tomb, many bandits and warlords have set their eyes on the treasure within the Royal Tomb. All these years, I have never slept in peace, fearing that someone would set their eyes on the things in our father and daughter's hands." Qiao Qingya's brows were tightly knitted, and two deep wrinkles were clearly etched into his forehead.

Qiao Ruo just recalled that someone seemed to be following her on her way back from school. She couldn't help but feel that her internal organs were chilled and her entire body was ice-cold.

Qiao Qingya was worried that Lin Junmai was intentionally approaching Qiao Ruochu in order to see if the Qiao Family was really a descendant of Qiao Sanmu and covet the construction plans for the Qing Mausoleum.

Qiao Ruo Chu understood her father's thoughts.

"I just happened to meet him tonight, so I might as well hang out with him from now on." Qiao Ruo Chu held onto her skirt with both hands and whispered.

Qiao Qingya nodded. "It's getting late. Let's rest early." he said to his daughter.

In fact, in his heart, regardless of whether Lin Junzhu had come close to the Qiao Family for the sake of the blueprints or not, he didn't want his daughter to have anything to do with the warlord.

These people were the emperors of a province today. Tomorrow, they might be assassinated and thrown into the stinky ditch. There would be people coming every day to seek revenge and not be able to live a life of safety for the commoners.

Qiao Ruo first went upstairs and returned to her room. When she pushed open the door, she felt that something was wrong. She carefully scanned her surroundings, but didn't find anything out of place.

She guessed that her father's words from before had given her the illusion of being on tenterhooks.

She changed into a bathrobe and took a hot bath. After a day's worth of fatigue, she felt extremely comfortable. After reading a book on her bed for a while, she fell asleep and slept until the sky turned white.

When she woke up, she heard the creaking sound of the rattan chair downstairs. She was sure that her father had lost sleep again last night. She felt guilty.

After breakfast, Gu Jun called. He told Qiao Qingya that he was going to propose marriage to the Qiao family.

Qiao Qingya didn't immediately agree. He wanted to tell his daughter what he said, but his tone clearly indicated that he agreed.

Qiao Ruo Chu wasn't mentally prepared at all. Her feelings were indescribable and she always felt that it was too sudden. For the time being, she didn't want to discuss marriage.

Last night, after Gu Jun had gone back, he had thought about it for a whole night, and Lin Jun had unreasonably started talking to Qiao Ruoxi. From a man's intuition, Qiao Ruo Chu understood the way Lin Jun looked at Qiao Ruoyi, and no matter how he thought about it, he could only get engaged to Qiao Ruo Chu as soon as possible. No matter how shameless Lin Jun Qi was, he couldn't force his wife to do anything to him.

He hasn't told her yet that he thinks he can make his own decisions, as long as the Qiao family agrees.

Qiao Qingya's words let him know that the possibility of the Qiao family agreeing was very high. He was very pleased and went to discuss it with Gu Fangfang.

"Father, your son intends to propose to the young lady of the Qiao family." he said directly to her.
