Lu Yuze's eyes returned to the mansion entrance. His jaw tightened almost imperceptibly as darker thoughts surfaced.
What if someone approached her with hidden intentions, a calculated smile, probing questions, or veiled challenges designed to test the new Mrs. Lu?
What if they tried to embarrass her in front of that sharp-eyed circle of women?
And the men…
There would always be those who watched too closely. Those who calculated opportunities. Those who mistook proximity for permission.
His gaze darkened.
"What if someone gets too close?" he murmured, voice low and controlled.
Ting Fei remained silent. He didn't need to respond.
"Then they will learn their place," Lu Yuze added, the words quiet but absolute.
At that moment, Ah Ling approached from the side, holding a sleek black envelope.
"Master, the car is ready," he reported efficiently. "The invitation has been secured."
Lu Yuze gave a short nod. "Good."
Everything was prepared.
