Su Yang stood outside the manor, clapped his hands to remove non-existent dust, then took out his phone and dialed Lu Cheng's number.
He reported everything that had just happened to Lu Cheng, including his assessment of Qin Yu's strength, how he discovered him in advance, and how he severely injured him.
On the other end of the phone, Lu Cheng merely chuckled a few times after listening.
"Heh heh, a God of War, truly a God of War. He handles things so meticulously, it's reassuring."
"You've worked hard."
After hanging up, Lu Cheng's expression turned cold.
"That grandson, he's really damn evil!"
"He let Qin Yu escape, wanting to keep me on a leash, making me think he's done a great service?"
"Do I look that stupid?"
"Now I finally understand where a mere retired God of War like him got so many connections, able to get so many people to do things for him."
"Just with his masterful skill in playing human relations, he must have accumulated a lot of favor debts."
"But, buddy, you've met me."
Lu Cheng, of course, hadn't been idle during this time either.
In the afternoon, he rushed to the Mu Family without stopping.
He spent a warm and perfect afternoon with the mature and charming Mu Wanrou and the adorable little princess Mu Taotao.
Of course, after Tao Tao fell asleep, there were also some...Um, beneficial discussions on parental education with the Head of the Mu Family to deepen their relationship.
The gentle aura exuded by Mu Wanrou, and that unique mature charm, the myriad of styles she possessed only after enduring life's trials!
For Lu Cheng!
It was simply the most fatal and irresistible... But, whenever the two reached a deep emotional moment.
"Daddy! Come quickly and see, I built a block castle, do you and Mommy want to live in it together!"
A naive and lively childish voice came from the room's doorway.
Immediately following were "bang bang bang," "Why did Daddy and Mommy lock the door! I don't want the door locked!"
His lively little cotton jacket couldn't sleep for more than a few minutes before clamoring for him to play again... And as night fell, when Lu Cheng hung up Su Yang's call.
He appeared punctually at the Gu Family mansion like the most considerate expectant father.
After all, the one in Gu Qingcheng's belly was his only legitimate heir at the moment.
Naturally, he had to give her more care and protection.
In the bedroom, the lighting was soft.
The two were leaning on the sofa, engaged in their routine "prenatal education" activities.
Gu Qingcheng's usually cold and icy beautiful face was now filled with maternal tenderness and a deep, bone-deep love for Lu Cheng.
However, she was currently six months pregnant, with child.
Many activities beneficial for enhancing "marital affection" were temporarily inconvenient.
This occasionally made Lu Cheng feel a slight sense of regret.
Gu Qingcheng seemed to have noticed Lu Cheng's slightly regretful mood.
A hint of slyness flashed in her beautiful phoenix eyes.
She straightened up slightly, gently hooked Lu Cheng's chin with her soft, boneless jade hand, and parted her red lips slightly.
She whispered in his ear, in a seductive voice that could make any man surrender on the spot:
"A-Cheng..."
"Although some things are inconvenient right now..."
"But..."
"Have you forgotten that joke we saw online last time?"
"A Planet Cup doesn't necessarily have to be eaten with a spoon, you know?"
Lu Cheng: "??!!"
...On the other side, Yun Family Villa.
After arranging the Lu Family's defenses, Su Yang finally returned home.
What greeted him, however, was another barrage of scolding.
"Useless! Where did you go? You're back so late, I have to get my own foot-washing water!"
"If there's a next time, just wait, I'll immediately make Xi Xi divorce you!"
Of course, he was already immune to it; what could he do with a mother-in-law like that?
Walking into the living room, he immediately saw Yun Xiyue sitting on the sofa, flipping through a magazine.
He quickly walked up to Yun Xiyue and directly dropped a bombshell!
"Xi Xi!"
His voice carried an uncontrollable excitement!
"I have invited Young Master Lu!"
"Invited him to personally attend our wedding!"
"To be the officiant at our wedding!"
He even took it upon himself to change Lu Cheng's role to the wedding officiant.
In his opinion, this would better demonstrate the deep friendship between him and Lu Cheng.
However, after Yun Xiyue heard his words, her delicate face was instantly filled with incredulous shock!
"What is this guy... what is he even talking about?"
"Should I, should I take him to see someone?"
"How do you divorce someone with a mental illness?"
"Still talking about a wedding? And having Lu Cheng as the officiant?"
"How could a high-and-mighty figure like Lu Cheng be invited by a good-for-nothing like him?"
"Does he really like wearing a cuckold's hat that much?"
"Dreaming of a wedding is one thing, but he even wants to invite that man to attend..."
She looked at Su Yang's face, brimming with confidence, and all she wanted was to immediately cut all ties with this madman, who lived in his own fantasy world!
And Su Yang?
He looked at Yun Xiyue's adorable, speechless expression due to shock, and thought she was genuinely touched by his surprise!
His heart swelled with pride!
He decided to strike while the iron was hot.
So, he took a step forward and, in what he considered the most affectionate tone, made a romantic invitation to Yun Xiyue:
"Xi Xi! I know you must be very surprised!"
"Don't rush, this is just the beginning!"
"Tomorrow I'll take you to the most high-end and luxurious bridal shop in the Magic City! To choose the most beautiful wedding dress!"
"I want to make you the most dazzling and happiest bride in the whole world!"
Yun Xiyue: "..."
She couldn't be bothered to say another word to this madman in front of her.
She stood up directly from the sofa, gave him a cold glance, and then, without looking back, prepared to go upstairs to her room.
Out of sight, out of mind!
Seeing this, Su Yang's heart tightened!
Still doesn't believe him?
That shouldn't be the case, should it?
Then he absolutely couldn't let her go so easily!
Tomorrow!
As long as they went to the bridal shop tomorrow, and he pulled out that 500 million bank card, he didn't believe Yun Xiyue could still doubt him.
This was a crucial step for him to show Yun Xiyue his strength, and it absolutely couldn't fall through!
He took a swift step forward and directly blocked Yun Xiyue's path.
He even reached out, wanting to grab her arm!
Yun Xiyue was startled by his sudden move and instinctively wanted to dodge and scream!
But Su Yang was faster!
He directly used his body to pin Yun Xiyue against the wall!
He said in an almost petulant tone:
"Xi Xi, don't go!"
"Tomorrow, as long as you're willing to come with me!"
"I promise, I swear! I will definitely let you see a Su Yang you can rely on for a lifetime!"
His eyes held an unyielding persistence!
Yun Xiyue was completely stunned by his sudden assertiveness!
She looked at this "husband" who was both familiar and strange.
She didn't want to continue this entanglement with Su Yang.
Since Su Yang could make such an invitation, fine, she would go and see!
See what other tricks this guy could pull.
If he was just as delusional outside, then she wouldn't be blamed for showing no mercy.
Under Su Yang's eager and burning gaze.
Yun Xiyue tiredly closed her eyes.
Then, she gently nodded.
