Lu Shao is cunning; Miss Nan has fallen for his tricks again.

Chapter 139 Two People Arrested for "Early Romance"

Seeing that it was almost time, Grandpa Lu and Grandpa Lin went on stage to co-host the engagement banquet.

The two elderly people walked towards the stage in the center of the engagement banquet with great enthusiasm.

Grandpa Lu looked solemn and stern in his black traditional Chinese suit, while Grandpa Lin was more casual, wearing a black Tang suit and glasses, exuding refinement and elegance in every gesture.

Old Master Lin was a few years younger than Old Master Lu. He humbly followed behind Old Master Lu, and the two went on stage one after the other.

Seeing this scene, Lu Zhiyan and Nan Xu exchanged a glance from several meters away, and Nan Xu immediately walked towards Lu Zhiyan.

Of course, the other people in the banquet hall also noticed the actions of Grandpa Lu and Grandpa Lin, and they all turned their gazes toward them.

As Nan Xu drew closer, Lu Zhiyan skillfully reached out and wrapped his arm around her slender waist.

"Are we going to give a speech later?" Nan Xu glanced at Lu Zhiyan beside her, then looked at Old Master Lu who was giving a speech on stage.

Grandpa Lu is giving a long and eloquent speech on stage.

"No need, we can just go up and scan our faces." Lu Zhiyan lowered his head and kissed Nan Xu's forehead.

There were many people present, and the two of them were both very tall, making them stand out when they stood together.

As Nan Xu pushed Lu Zhiyan aside, she turned her gaze to the area with the most people in the venue.

She only breathed a sigh of relief when she was sure no one was looking in her direction.

With a smile in his eyes and a slight upturn of his lips, Lu Zhiyan whispered in Nan Xu's ear, "What are you afraid of? We're not having an affair in public."

A deep, magnetic voice sounded in Nan Xu's ear, and a blush gradually crept up Nan Xu's ear tips and cheeks.

"But the way you're sneaking around really makes me feel like we're having an affair." Nan Xu's voice was somewhat helpless as she glanced back at Lu Zhiyan.

"Isn't it because you pushed me away? If you hadn't pushed me away, would I be so careful?"

Lu Zhiyan wanted to tease Nan Xu, so the two of them whispered something to each other's ears.

After Grandpa Lu finished speaking, he began to scan the room, looking for his beloved grandson and future granddaughter-in-law.

His gaze swept back and forth, but he continued his speech. It wasn't until they were near the stage that the two figures came into view.

The two leaned close together, whispering sweet nothings to each other as if no one else was around. Especially his grandson, whose eyes were practically glued to Nanxu's face.

Although he seemed very happy, his speech was almost over, and it was time for them to come up and show their faces.

Seeing the young couple being so affectionate, Grandpa Lu changed the subject, "Since that's the case, let my longtime friend say a few words." With that, he pushed Grandpa Lin forward.

Grandpa Lin looked visibly surprised. He hadn't been assigned any work, so why was he being asked to "work overtime" at the last minute?

He looked at Old Master Lu with shock in his eyes, almost incredulously.

Grandpa Lu winked at him, silently saying, "Speak, say a few words."

Old Master Lin looked up helplessly and began his speech.

Lin Jingshu clearly noticed Old Master Lin's expression until she saw the main characters of the banquet standing below the stage, cuddling and whispering sweet nothings.

She sighed and walked through the crowd towards Nanxu.

These two kids, interacting so intimately with so many people around, they really don't know how to be shy. Lin Jingshu silently complained to herself.

"You two be careful, there are so many people here." The voice suddenly rang out, and Nan Xu and Lu Zhiyan's bodies visibly stiffened.

Nanxu stammered as she replied, "Okay, Mom."

This is so embarrassing! How is this any different from being caught dating in the first place by your parents? But today is their engagement party.

Lin Jingshu left after she finished speaking.

Nan Xu bit her lip, her face flushed red.

She stood to the side, awkwardly fidgeting with her fingers. This scene seemed especially adorable to Lu Zhiyan, and he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Laugh? You still have the nerve to laugh? You've already been warned and you're still laughing.

Nan Xu pinched Lu Zhiyan's right leg hard.

Lu Zhiyan gasped in pain; this hurt even more than the last time he was pinched.

"What are you doing? Murdering your husband?" Lu Zhiyan asked through gritted teeth in a low voice.

“Yes! So what?” Nan Xu looked up at him, as if to say, “If you’re not happy, then hit me.”

Grandpa Lu stood to the side, looking bored, but his eyes unconsciously fell on Nan Xu and Lu Zhiyan again.

The two of them, who were just moments ago so affectionate, are now at each other's throats. He wanted to know why, so his gaze remained fixed on them.

Perhaps it was because Old Master Lu's gaze was too intense that Nan Xu was the first to notice.

At that moment, Lu Zhiyan was turning to the side to coax Nan Xu. Nan Xu looked up at Old Master Lu and then patted his arm.

Lu Zhiyan was confused and continued, looking down, "What's wrong with you? I know I was wrong. I won't kiss you anymore, okay?" Seeing that Nan Xu had no reaction.

He continued, "Look at me, turn around and look at me." His voice was coquettish as he took Nanxu's hand and played with her fingers.

It seemed as if Lu Zhiyan was about to lean on Nan Xu's shoulder for comfort.

Nan Xu closed her eyes resignedly and gritted her teeth. "Can you please stop this? Your grandfather is watching us."

Are you looking at us?
Lu Zhiyan then looked up. Noticing Lu Zhiyan's gaze, Old Master Lu looked up first, pretending to be nonchalant, and stared at the ceiling of the banquet hall.

Where? Where are they? Is Nanxu overthinking this?
“Grandpa isn’t watching us.” Lu Zhiyan turned his gaze back to Nan Xu.

Nan Xu was certain she hadn't misread anything, so she remained silent and didn't answer Lu Zhiyan's question.

At this moment, Grandpa Lin's speech was coming to an end, and Nan Xu had already taken off her shawl and placed it on the sofa next to her.

She took Lu Zhiyan's arm, a faint smile on her lips.

"Now, please welcome the main characters of this engagement banquet, Mr. Lu Zhiyan and Ms. Nan Xu," the host said enthusiastically as he took the microphone.

Lu Zhiyan took Nan Xu onto the stage and casually snapped a few photos to deal with the media.

When reporters tried to conduct interviews, they were kicked out by the bodyguards at the venue.

This was indeed an engagement party, but it was also an opportunity to discuss business opportunities.

This engagement party was originally intended for the media and business partners.

If they really wanted to have a private engagement party just for them, they would simply invite a few close friends over.

This has nothing to do with the media.

Choosing to hold a lavish engagement banquet is nothing more than a business decision and a desire for publicity.

Lu Zhiyan planned to introduce Nan Xu to Huo Xingchuan and Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu, seeing Lu Zhiyan's eyes glued to Nan Xu, cursed inwardly: "Useless!"
"This is Huo Xingchuan, and that's Jiang Yu." Lu Zhiyan introduced the two of them to Nan Xu.

Huo Xingchuan smiled at Nan Xu, and Jiang Yu also smiled faintly.

Nan Xu nodded and greeted them, "Hello, I'm Nan Xu."

"Hello, sister-in-law." Jiang Yu rarely spoke so sweetly.

Huo Xingchuan narrowed his eyes; he couldn't possibly call her "sister-in-law." He was a day older than Lu Zhiyan.

"Hello, sister-in-law. I'm a year older than Zhiyan, so you have to call him brother." Huo Xingchuan smiled and squinted at Lu Zhiyan.

Nan Xu smiled and nodded.

Lu Zhiyan had never wanted to call Huo Xingchuan "brother," but now he was forced to do the same as Nan Xu.
