This brat! How well he acted the last ti he was ho. Lu Feng gritted his teeth while Qin Yuzhen, who was standing beside him listening to the call, instantly turned pale. She found it hard to believe that such a fairy-like daughter-in-law was rely a decorative vase, only to be admired but not touched!
If Luo Chao married Ning Wanxi, wouldn't she beco just a display? How could the Lu Family talk about carrying on the family line!
Luo Chao smiled wryly and shook his head; it seed the plot was taking another twist. He knew his father's temperant well, and his father would never let him marry a woman who couldn't bear offspring; otherwise, their ho would beco a laughingstock.
Overall, Lu Feng was a man who cared deeply about face, sotis to the point of suffering for it. Otherwise, why would he have vanished completely in front of Ning Zongze back then, despite Ning Zongze's wealth?
Ning Wanxi's face beca sowhat pale; she seed to have known about this arranged marriage. When Ning Zongze ntioned it, she didn't flinch. But when Lu Feng discovered her hidden illness, her pretty face paled, seemingly unwilling for Luo Chao's parents to know.
Lu Feng's brow furrowed tightly—this was a severe blow. Clenching his fist, he asked, "How did Wanxi get this illness?"
"What I'm about to say, please don't be offended or angry, brother," Ning Zongze rambled on, "The main reason for this is my fault. When Wanxi was very young, I instilled in her the idea that she was already engaged and her future husband was chosen, so she never interacted with other boys. Her mind beca distorted, and she developed a resistance to all n except , growing into feelings of aversion as she matured."
When Luo Chao was just born, his na hadn't been chosen yet. After Qin Yuzhen's confinent, Lu Feng took the mother and child back to their old ho in Lu Family's Village.
At that ti, Lu Feng left a letter for Ning Zongze, saying he was leaving Jiangning City. But Ning Zongze didn't know Lu Feng's real hotown was right under his nose in the mountainous region of Nanning Town. Despite searching high and low, he couldn't imagine that Lu Feng had played an enormous trick on him, staying right under his nose!
After Ning Zongze finished speaking, the villa's living room fell into silence with only the sound of Lu Feng's nurous sighs on the other end of the line. Luo Chao gently clutched his fist, never expecting the root of Ning Wanxi's illness was himself!
Destiny indeed toys with people, bringing both surprises and sighs to Luo Chao's heart. He hadn't imagined that from the beginning, he and President Ning were bound by countless threads—a prenuptial agreent that indicated he was ant to be her husband.
If Lu Feng had stayed back then, Luo Chao surely would have obeyed his parents, married Ning Wanxi as childhood sweethearts, gone with the flow, and eventually had children, never traveling to Nanning Town or eting Shen Birong, nor choosing to join the army out of heartbreak, and thereby never becoming today's Soldier King Luo Chao.
More importantly, Ning Wanxi wouldn't have beco the icy Goddess that no man could approach; she might have already been a mother by now.
But Lu Feng chose to leave, altering destiny's course. Ti can't turn back, and those present could only accept the now, not regret the past.
The atmosphere was eerily silent; Ning Wanxi glanced lightly at Luo Chao and then lowered her head slightly. She had known everything when at Lu Family's Village but kept it all to herself. Her endurance left Luo Chao admiring her.
Ning Zongze sighed, while Huang Lili was imdiately on the verge of tears, thinking of her daughter's tragic fate, letting out a slight sob.
Ning Wanxi's luscious red lips seed to want to speak but hesitated, appearing as though she had a secret to reveal. After a while, she looked again at Luo Chao, her eyes complex, containing resentnt, embarrassnt, and delight—an indescribable mix of emotions.
Luo Chao noticed her expression and felt bewildered; he clearly sensed her hatred, the kind of hatred that chilled the core.
His heart raced rapidly, wondering why she hated him so; it seed this was not a result of his own doing—he was a victim too.
Ning Wanxi shouldn't be such an unreasonable person, Luo Chao pondered—perhaps President Ning was hiding sothing?
But Ning Wanxi indeed seed to have a breathtaking secret, yet Luo Chao hadn't noticed, nor did her parents.
Luo Chao looked at Ning Wanxi, questioning her with his gaze, but Ning Wanxi turned her pretty face away, ignoring him.
At this mont, Lu Feng sighed deeply and finally spoke: "Zongze, you know I am a rather feudal and stubborn person. If Luo Chao were a daughter, even if I were poor, I'd still have more children to birth a son for my Lu Family, so I hope you understand."
Lu Feng's aning was clear: our Lu Family cannot end with , nor with Luo Chao!
Ning Zongze chuckled twice, "I understand, brother, as for this arranged marriage…"
Before he could finish, Lu Feng added, "But I am also responsible for Wanxi's illness, so I'll give Luo Chao and Wanxi two years. If within these two years they cannot beco a real couple, then I'll have to make the worst choice."
"Luo Chao is the root of Wanxi's illness; maybe with long-term companionship, Luo Chao might cure Wanxi's illness. Zongze, don't despair; people can change things," Lu Feng continued.
Ning Zongze instantly turned sadness into joy, laughing, "You've hit ho with your words, brother! If fate has brought them together again, I believe Luo Chao and Wanxi will overco their obstacles and end up together!"
However, Ning Zongze and Lu Feng didn't know that Luo Chao and Ning Wanxi weren't truly in love—instead, it was all due to Ning Doudou, and the prenuptial agreent stood between them.
Luo Chao's lips curled into a bitter taste, unable to speak, he rely looked at the little Doudou outside, who noticed his gaze and grinned widely.
"Let's end the conversation here for today. If Cinderella's story does happen, Yuzhen and I will co to propose," Lu Feng thought for a mont, saying.
Don't fear the odds, fear the possibility—if Luo Chao truly cannot beco Ning Wanxi's predestined partner, Lu Feng will undoubtedly let Luo Chao return, avoiding an awkward eting between both parents.
Ning Zongze nodded, "Alright, brother, take care of yourself," he said before hanging up, quickly looking toward Luo Chao, who was standing at the door ready to leave, his old face flushing. Just now, he almost chased his son-in-law out—how embarrassing.
