Oh no! His rural wife is sweeter than a peach!

Ying Yuchuan was going on a business trip today, so he got up early to pack his luggage and prepare to go to the airport.

Just as he finished tidying up, Old Ye came over and called him to the main house, saying that his grandfather and father had something important to discuss with him.

We arrived at the reception room of the main house.

His grandparents and parents were already waiting there.

Grandpa Ying had some heart discomfort and felt better after taking nitroglycerin.

Moreover, the atmosphere between them was somewhat strange.

"Grandpa, what's wrong? Is there something important that happened so early in the morning?"

Ying Yuchuan asked calmly.

Sitting on the sofa, Old Master Ying looked weary. He gestured to Ying Huayu, "You talk to him."

Ying Yuchuan also keenly sensed something. "Dad?"

Ying Huayu walked up to him, his face grave. "Son, you should still remember what happened twenty years ago, right?"

It's not eighteen years ago, nor nineteen years ago, but a full twenty years ago – that sensitive number.

How could Ying Yuchuan not remember?

That incident from twenty years ago is etched into his very being; he can't forget it even if he wanted to.

His eyes flickered slightly, but his composed, handsome face remained largely unchanged. His tone was slightly deep as he said, "Yes, Dad, you go ahead."

"The family that saved you back then, their surname is Lu, and now..."

Ying Huayu paused, his middle-aged, handsome face heavy. He sighed deeply and then spoke out.

"Now they've come, demanding that you fulfill the marriage vow you made years ago and marry their eldest granddaughter."

Ying Yuchuan's expression remained unchanged.

He was somewhat surprised, yet it was also something he had expected.

Hearing the surname "Lu," he understood.

Ying Huayu sighed again, "Actually, they came last night, but they came so suddenly that we didn't know what to do, so we kept it from you last night. But we've figured it out. This matter concerns you, and the choice is ultimately yours. If you're willing to marry that girl, then go ahead. If not, your grandfather and I will help you reject her. Whatever money she wants, we'll give it to her."

This difficult problem suddenly fell to Ying Yuchuan.

Who would want to marry a girl they've never met?

He didn't know what she looked like, her height, weight, or her personality.

Ying Yuchuan had never had any particular interest in marriage.

He had never had a girlfriend, no close female friends, and had never been in a relationship. His life was monotonous and dull, like a stagnant pool.

When he was in school, his life revolved around the dormitory, classroom, and canteen.

Now I work at my home office, but it's still the same old routine: business trips to work and coming home.

It's bland and tasteless, not much different from a monk.

His friends all say that he's boring, unromantic, and a bit old-fashioned; asking him to take the initiative to find a girlfriend or wife is like asking the sky to fall.

As for this girl from the Lu family...

With his eyes half-closed in deep thought, a long-lost, innocent child's face surfaced in his mind.

now.

The meeting room was so quiet that you couldn't even hear someone breathing.

The other four looked at him with concern, anxiously and patiently waiting for his next answer.

No one dared to urge him.

There was a silence that lasted for almost a minute.

Ying Yuchuan had already made up his mind. He decisively raised his eyes and said, "I..."

"Grandpa, the siblings have arrived."

Just as he was about to speak, Old Ye brought in the Lu siblings.

This also conveniently interrupted what he was about to say.

Just as he was about to breathe, Old Ye suddenly interrupted him. The four members of the Ying family were waiting for his decision, and the interruption made Old Ye so nervous that his heart started to feel uncomfortable again.

He rubbed his chest weakly and let out a deep breath.

The other three were both anxious and helpless.

"Old Ye, remember to knock before you come in next time."

Ying Huayu gave the order directly.

"Yes, young master."

Old Ye was a little confused, but he did as instructed anyway.

Good morning, everyone.

A familiar, clear, and melodious female voice unexpectedly entered Ying Yuchuan's ears.

Her voice was full of energy, like a sprite dancing and laughing among the flowers in spring, making one want to see her face.

He was facing away from the entrance to the reception room.

Without turning around, he didn't see the Lu siblings.

Upon hearing the voice, his heart pounded, and he slowly turned his lean and slender body.

He also wanted to see what the girl surnamed Lu, whom his father had mentioned, looked like.

The first thing that caught his deep, dark eyes was the bright, round-faced girl who had been picking cherries in the rain last night.

He was slightly surprised, and his pupils widened.

is her?

Unlike the darkness of night, she was now standing under bright lights, revealing her appearance and figure.

She noticed his gaze and waved to him confidently.

Hi~

A bright smile played on her lips, and her round eyes sparkled, easily drawing attention.

She wasn't very tall, about 1.65 meters, with a slender figure and healthy, slightly wheat-colored skin. Her long hair was casually braided into two plaits that fell over her shoulders, making her look bright, playful, and lively.

He stared at her intently.

Is she the girl from the Lu family?

When the deer calls, it speaks softly to the deer trellis.

"Sis, this man looks familiar. Haven't we met somewhere before?"

Lu Luozhi also felt that he looked familiar.

Take a closer look at his eyebrows and eyes.

Unexpectedly, the silhouette of the man by the window last night overlapped with his.

She opened her eyes in surprise.

No way.

Did he really come to complain first thing in the morning?

She whispered to the yellow-feathered duckling.

"It's the guy who saw us picking cherries last night."

When the deer cried out, its eyes widened to the size of eggs.

They only picked two cherries, is that such a big crime?

Ying Huayu stepped forward to introduce them.

"Yuchuan, this is the girl from the Lu family. Her name is Lu Luozhi, Luo as in green bamboo and Zhi as in tree branch. This is her younger brother, Lu Mingshi."

After saying that, he introduced Lu Luozhi and her brother, "You two, this is my eldest son, Ying Yuchuan, who is also..."

He paused here, his tone heavy and helpless.

"He's also the one you were once engaged to."

The atmosphere in the reception room began to turn strange from that moment on.

Ying Yuchuan watched them calmly.

The Lu siblings were completely stunned by the news.

He, he, he is Ying Yuchuan?

Is he the eldest grandson of the Ying family?

Yay!

They were not only caught stealing cherries.

They even tried to pin the blame on the person in question.

The siblings, regaining their senses, exchanged a calm glance.

Sister, this looks like your future man.

Brother, this looks like your future brother-in-law.

The subtle glances exchanged between the siblings were all captured in Ying Yuchuan's thoughtful eyes.

"Hello, I am Ying Yuchuan."

He broke the silence first.

His deep, mellow voice, with the mature charm of a grown man, is as captivating as fine red wine.

"Hello, I am Lu Luozhi."

Lu Luozhi responded hastily.

The lighting was dim last night, so I couldn't see his face clearly.

Upon closer inspection, the man before me was both handsome and rugged, with a dignified appearance.

He was very tall, about 1.88 meters, with a slender and upright figure, and deep-set features. He wore a navy blue suit with a light gray shirt underneath, black leather shoes, and black-rimmed glasses that hid his eyes behind the lenses. He also had short, sharp hair.

He had a calm and reserved demeanor, somewhat aloof. His clothes were buttoned up neatly, and his hair was styled meticulously, from head to toe, down to the last strand.

Is this the husband that her grandmother arranged for her?

Before coming here, Lu Luozhi had already wondered what kind of man this man surnamed Ying would be.

What if I'm old, ugly, and unattractive?

All sorts of men had crossed her mind, but she never imagined that it would be such a handsome, outstanding, and aloof man.

Grandma, you're so good to your eldest granddaughter.

I'll burn villas and servants for you, so you can be a rich person even in the underworld.

Stared at intently by his eyes, she scratched her head and smiled awkwardly. "Is there something dirty on my face?"

Lu Ming whispered, "Sis, why are you blushing?"

I glanced at him and said, "I'm hot."

He innocently stretched out his stick-like arms, pulled up his sleeves, and said, "No, it's quite cold today. Look, I'm so cold I have goosebumps."

Lu Luozhi decided to ignore this yellow-haired duckling.

"Yuchuan, look at you..."

Beside him, Ying Huayu, his heart pounding, cautiously asked his son, "What's your decision? Do you want to marry this Miss Lu?"

As soon as he spoke, Old Master Ying and the others turned their attention to him.

For a moment, Ying Yuchuan became the focus of everyone's attention in the entire reception room.

Even the Lu siblings stopped talking and stared at him with wide eyes.

Withdrawing his gaze from them, Ying Yuchuan, under the watchful eyes of everyone, strode towards the entrance of the meeting room.

"Let's go."

When he came to Lu Luozhi's side, he said those two words in a calm tone.

She stared blankly for a moment.

Even Grandpa Ying and the others were completely baffled by his actions.

"Where to?"

Lu Luozhi asked him, puzzled.

Ying Yuchuan remained calm and uttered a statement that shocked everyone.

"Go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get your marriage certificate."
