Chapter 154: Snatching the Protagonists Fiancée

“Will you ever dare to question me again? Tell me, am I the kind of man who gets stopped in his tracks by any woman he sees?”

“No... you’re not.”

Xiao Qingxue’s cheeks were tinged with red, and she felt weak, unable to withstand even with her enhanced physical condition. She truly felt Chen Luo’s increase in strength.

Although she had a strong personality, she had to give in this time unless she really wanted to end up bedridden for a few days.

Chen Luo felt a bit smug and decided to spare Xiao Qingxue this time.

“I know you’re jealous, but having so many women is also for your sake.”

Listening to Chen Luo’s shameless words, Xiao Qingxue couldn’t help but roll her eyes. She knew him well. He was good-looking but incredibly shameless.

“Think about it, what would it be like if I only had you?”

Chen Luo’s words caught Xiao Qingxue off guard, then a sudden fear sprang up in her heart. It would be the death of her. Surely. If it were only her, she wouldn’t need to do anything else all day.

“I can overlook the other women. How about you marry me?” Xiao Qingxue looked directly at Chen Luo.

“Cough cough, let’s talk about this another day. You look exhausted, better go to sleep,” Chen Luo quickly changed the subject.

“Jerk.”

Xiao Qingxue couldn’t help but bite Chen Luo lightly, then sighed softly, feeling like she had completely fallen for him in this lifetime.

Indeed, Chen Luo was a jerk, but he had firmly captured Xiao Qingxue’s heart.

After Xiao Qingxue fell asleep, Chen Luo got up and went to Zhao Yingxuan’s room. If he didn’t go to comfort her, she would definitely be upset and jealous.

The next day, Chen Luo walked into the Li family villa openly.

“Dad, you’re here.”

Li Qiwen bowed and scraped before Chen Luo, probably more affectionately than he had ever addressed Li Zhong.

“When will Dad remove the Gu worm from my body?”

“Relax, no one will die by staying in your body,” Chen Luo said lightly.

Li Qiwen bowed his head. He wouldn’t die with the antidote, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t worried. He was tired of feeling like his life was in someone else’s hands, but he was too afraid of death to rebel.

“Don’t get in the way here.”

Lin Yue only had one child, his daughter Lin Xiaoya.

“Lin Xiaoya has a marriage arrangement? I’ve never heard of that,” Gu Wanyu expressed surprise.

She had never heard of Lin Xiaoya being betrothed. Although she didn’t pay much attention, surely such news would have spread across Magic City if it were true.

“Could I possibly lie to you?”

“So you’re saying Lin Yue is trying to deceive me?” Anger flashed in Gu Wanyu’s eyes.

“Not necessarily. It’s possible that Lin Yue doesn’t want to acknowledge the engagement, or maybe he doesn’t even know about it.”

Chen Luo smiled at Gu Wanyu, dismissing the idea that Lin Yue would dare to deceive her. It was unthinkable, given that the Li family, despite its issues, had a deeper foundation than the Lin family and was not to be offended lightly.

Chen Luo felt that perhaps Lin Yue looked down on a wild boy from the mountains and didn’t want to honor the engagement.

“So that’s it. Darling, do you like Lin Xiaoya? If you’re interested, I’ll agree to the marriage alliance.”

This marriage alliance wasn’t really meant for Li Qiwen. Even if it seemed so nominally, Gu Wanyu planned to offer Lin Xiaoya to Chen Luo.

Li Qiwen’s life was controlled by Chen Luo, and so was his fiancée.

Chen Luo wore a peculiar expression, understanding Gu Wanyu’s implication. The marriage alliance was meant for Li Qiwen, but ultimately it was Chen Luo who entered the bridal chamber. Was he supposed to usurp the protagonist’s fiancée?

Even if it was to counter the protagonist, he had to agree. It was a sure-win deal, so why refuse? As for whether Li Qiwen’s face would turn green upon learning the truth, neither Chen Luo nor Gu Wanyu cared. If you asked either of them, neither considered Li Qiwen as a real person.

“You arrange it, make the engagement soon, let’s do it tomorrow.”

Taking advantage of the fact that the protagonist Su Han hadn’t yet arrived in Magic, they would secure the engagement first, leaving Su Han dumbfounded when he arrived. Gu Wanyu, eager to please, agreed joyfully. She felt she owed Chen Luo, considering herself a married woman with children, and feeling unworthy of him, thus the idea struck her when Lin Yue proposed the marriage alliance.

So, she eagerly awaited Chen Luo’s approval.

After Chen Luo agreed, Gu Wanyu immediately contacted Lin Yue.

“Mr. Lin, I’ve agreed to the marriage alliance, but we need to hurry with the engagement, can we settle it tomorrow?”

“That’s great, but isn’t tomorrow too rushed for an engagement?”

“If Mr. Lin feels it’s too rushed, then perhaps we should call off the alliance,” Gu Wanyu said calmly.

“No, no, tomorrow is fine, I agree,” Lin Yue quickly conceded, thinking of the dire straits his family was in. He couldn’t afford to let the alliance fail, as the Lin family indeed needed external support.
