Inside the private room of the sky restaurant.
Lu Cheng's words slowly echoed in Yun Xiyue's ears.
She instinctively buried her pale face, drained of color by fear, deep into Lu Cheng's broad chest, as if trying to melt into this sole sanctuary.
At this moment, Lu Cheng, in her heart, was no longer just a man with fatal charm.
He was her only and last salvation and reliance in this cold world full of deceit and danger!
She slowly raised her head, her beautiful eyes now completely filled with an almost blind, absolute trust and dependence!
She looked into Lu Cheng's deep eyes and whispered, "Lu Cheng..."
"Can I... really do it?"
"I... I'm scared..."
Lu Cheng looked at her pitiful, delicate appearance, reached out a hand, and gently stroked her long hair with his fingertips, his voice carrying a calming power.
"Xi Xi, I'm here."
"As long as you're willing to trust me, I promise I'll help you handle all of this and won't let you suffer any harm!"
"And Su Yang will pay the price he deserves for everything he's done."
"Will you trust me?"
Yun Xiyue listened to his promise, and the worries and fears in her heart seemed to gradually dissipate.
She nodded heavily, surrendering her future and destiny, without reservation, into the hands of the man before her.
"Mhm!"
"I'll listen to you!"
...That night, Yun Xiyue returned home.
The first thing she did was pull her mother, Lin Meizhu, into her bedroom.
Then, she closed the door and completely revealed the "shocking truth" about Su Yang that Lu Cheng had told her earlier that day!
"What?!"
After hearing her daughter's account, Lin Meizhu was struck as if by lightning, jumping up from her chair on the spot!
Her face, always covered in thick foundation, was filled with unbelievable shock and lingering fear!
"That Su Yang, he... he's actually this kind of person?"
"A god of war live-in son-in-law discharged from the army? A criminal extorting wealthy people? And he even faked a marriage?"
"I actually let such a dangerous person stay in our house for three whole years?"
"And even ordered him around like a servant?"
"He wouldn't, when we're not paying attention, just... hack our whole family to pieces, would he?"
A bone-chilling cold instantly shot from the soles of her feet straight to the top of her head!
Making all the hairs on her body stand on end at that moment!
But after the extreme fear and lingering dread, what followed was an indescribable ecstasy and... relief!
"Thank goodness! Thank goodness for Young Master Lu!"
"Fortunately, Young Master Lu has discerning eyes and keen insight, exposing Su Yang's ugly true colors as a hypocrite in time!"
"Otherwise, if our Xi Xi really spent her life with such a person, she'd surely be ruined by him!"
"My daughter has finally seen through that good-for-nothing's true face and has completely latched onto the Lu Family's golden thigh!"
"Speaking of which... I, Lin Meizhu, really do have good judgment! I knew early on that Young Master Lu's feelings for our Xi Xi were absolutely true love!"
"Otherwise, why would he risk offending that 'god of war live-in son-in-law' Su Yang just to tell us the truth?"
"And... my previous feeling was actually quite accurate, wasn't it?"
"Su Yang is so dangerous, yet Young Master Lu still loves Xi Xi so much. This proves he enjoys the thrill of a 'married woman'!"
"It truly is me!"
The more Lin Meizhu thought about it, the more she felt her initial judgment was incredibly wise and brilliant!
After an "honest" exchange, the mother and daughter quickly reached a consensus.
Su Yang, this dangerous, cunning, and deceptive "bad guy," must be completely gotten rid of from their Yun Family as soon as possible!
And just as Lu Cheng said, the "wedding" proposed by Su Yang himself would be the best and most perfect stage!
...While the mother and daughter were still in the room, eagerly discussing their plans for the wedding.
Su Yang, oblivious to all of this, finally received the enormous "wedding gift" he had long dreamed of from his last trump card!
A full one billion in cash!
In truth, Su Yang's heart was extremely conflicted and struggling.
Previously, he had always hoped that the relationship between him and Yun Xiyue would not be tainted by any money or interests.
That would be a desecration of the "white moonlight" in his heart.
However... in recent times, he found that no matter how hard he tried, how much he gave, or how much he endured.
In Yun Xiyue's eyes, he was always just a "cowardly," "useless," and "good-for-nothing" house husband.
Especially after the appearance of Lu Cheng, that man as dazzling as the sun!
This contrast became even stronger and more glaring!
Coupled with... the "wedding of the century" he had placed such high hopes on, which was now imminent!
He couldn't wait any longer!
He had to prove his true strength to the entire Yun Family in the most direct and shocking way before the wedding!
Thus... Su Yang, full of vigor, placed the bank card with one billion in it, like a trophy, before the Yun Family.
He finally saw a trace of unbelievable shock on his sharp-tongued mother-in-law's face!
His father-in-law, who had always looked down on him, also showed a hint of astonished respect!
Of course, on the face of his beloved wife, Yun Xiyue, there was also... uh, although Yun Xiyue's expression was still somewhat cold, it seemed to have lost some of the previous disgust and impatience?
"Hahaha! I knew it! I knew it would be like this!"
"Money! It truly is the only truth that tests everything!"
Su Yang's heart was filled with unprecedented satisfaction and triumph!
This feeling of showing off his strength was simply exhilarating.
With a grand gesture, he announced his romantic and grand wedding plan to the Yun Family!
And the three members of the Yun Family?
They, too, displayed their superb acting skills, honed over a lifetime!
Cooperating with Su Yang, they put on a splendid show of "surprise, joy, and gratitude"!
They perfectly portrayed a family shocked, ecstatic, and even somewhat at a loss due to their son-in-law's sudden "rise to prominence"!
Allowing Su Yang, this poor god of war live-in son-in-law, to completely immerse himself in the beautiful fantasy he had woven, unable to extricate himself!
At night, in Yun Xiyue's room.
Looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, her heart was also filled with anticipation for the future.
However, what she anticipated was not that insincere wedding.
But rather... after the wedding, she could finally completely escape the entanglement of Su Yang, this "dangerous person."
And then, without any burden, throw herself into the arms of the man she truly loved, the god-like perfect Lu Cheng!
