Quick Transmigration: I Was Cannon Fodder But Became the White Moonlight

That evening, Lu Yu personally drove Chen Su back to the Chen family home.

Chen Su occasionally glanced at Lu Yuze's profile. He was focused on the road ahead, his profile lines flickering in the streetlights, as aloof as ever, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

The car came to a smooth stop in front of the Chen family villa.

Chen Su did not immediately unbuckle her seatbelt. Instead, she turned to face Lu Yuze.

"Brother Yuze," she said softly, with a hint of coquetry, pointing to her fair and delicate cheek, "I want a goodnight kiss."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu turned to look at her.

Under the dim light inside the car, his deep eyes revealed no emotion.

He neither refused nor agreed immediately, but simply looked at her, his gaze lingering on her face, from her bright eyes to her slightly pouting lips coated with glossy lip gloss, and then to the cheek she deliberately pointed out to him.

Chen Su's heart raced a little under his gaze, but she still forced herself to maintain the posture of taking a kiss for granted, even closing her eyes, her thick, curled eyelashes trembling slightly with nervousness.

She could feel him leaning closer, and his crisp, snowy scent became even clearer, his warm breath seeming to brush against her ear.

Her eyelashes trembled even more violently, and her heart leaped into her throat.

However, the expected light kiss did not fall.

But a very soft, almost imperceptible chuckle reached his ears, tinged with a hint of mockery.

Immediately afterwards, there was a soft "click".

That's the sound of the seatbelt buckle being released.

Chen Su suddenly opened her eyes.

Lu Yu had already returned to the driver's seat, one hand casually resting on the steering wheel, a faint smile playing on his lips, his eyes carrying a hint of understanding and mischief.

"Get out of the car, young lady."

He was just... teasing her.

Chen Su's cheeks instantly turned bright red, not from anger, but from embarrassment and annoyance.

She crossed her arms, glared at him reproachfully, and said with a hint of dissatisfaction, "Brother Yuze! We're about to get married, and you...you've never even kissed your fiancée!"

Lu Yuze tapped his fingers slowly and deliberately on the edge of the steering wheel.

He turned his head, looking at her with a leisurely air, his eyebrows slightly raised, his tone calm yet bluntly almost cold:

"Our marriage," he began, his voice calm and devoid of emotion, "was arranged by both sets of parents, in line with the interests and development of both families."

The implication couldn't be clearer.

This is merely a business alliance, a combination of resources and interests, and has nothing to do with feelings.

Chen Su was taken aback by his sudden bluntness. The blush on her face had not faded, and she was even more stunned.

She bit her lower lip, seemingly choosing her words carefully, before finally asking with a barely perceptible urgency, "So... you agreed to marry me just because I'm a daughter of the Chen family?"

Lu Yu nodded slightly, and although he did not answer directly, his gaze calmly fell on her face.

That expression clearly said: What else?

Chen Su felt as if a needle had gently pricked a certain part of her heart, causing a subtle, unfamiliar sour feeling to rise up.

She almost blurted out, "What if... I weren't a daughter of the Chen family?"

After asking the question, she was stunned for a moment, then stared intently at Lu Yuze, as if trying to find the answer on his face.

Lu Yu looked at her, his brows furrowing slightly before relaxing. His light-colored eyes remained expressionless, as if he hadn't heard the hypothetical question, or as if he had already thought about it a thousand times.

He spoke, his voice calm and utterly devoid of emotion:

"Who are you."

He never makes unnecessary assumptions, but only makes judgments and acts based on established facts.

"It's time to get off, Chen Su."

He withdrew his gaze and looked at her again, his expression completely calm, even carrying a hint of dismissal. "It's getting late."

Looking at his calm profile, Chen Su felt as if something was blocking her throat.

She didn't say anything more, and slowly pushed open the car door and got out.

She stood beside the car, watching as the black Maybach turned around without stopping and quickly disappeared into the deep night.

The red taillights flashed briefly at the corner, and then nothing could be seen anymore.

A cool night breeze blew by, calming her face and mind.

Back at the villa, her mother, Su Wan, was still waiting for her in the living room.

Chen Su's face had returned to its usual charming expression. She walked over and sat down intimately next to Su Wan, conveying Madam Lu's invitation in her usual tone: "Mom, at the Lu residence today, Aunt Lu said she would like you to come over for tea more often when you have time."

Su Wan smiled and agreed, then asked her a few more questions about how she was getting along with Lu Yuze lately. Chen Su dodged all the questions, only mentioning some unimportant ones.

_

In the following days, Chen Su did not go to the Lu residence again, nor did she take the initiative to contact Lu Yuze.

On the surface, it really did seem like she was upset because Lu Yuzhe's blunt words in the car that night had hurt her feelings, and she was being difficult.

Only Chen Su herself knew that the main reason she wasn't going was because Lin Zhixia's tutoring classes were suspended this week, so she wouldn't be going to the Lu residence at all.

She naturally had no need to rush to find him.

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

That afternoon, Chen Su arrived at the Lu residence again. This time, she didn't give prior notice, and upon entering, she learned that Lu Yu was not there, probably still at the company.

Feeling somewhat relieved, she strolled around the garden, only to unexpectedly bump into Lu Yichuan, who was coming out of the house with a dark expression.

After a week apart, the boy seemed to have lost some weight, and the arrogance between his brows had been replaced by a restless and depressed air.

When he saw Chen Su, he paused, his face expressionless. He neither immediately launched into his usual sarcastic mode nor greeted her. He merely glanced at her before turning to walk towards the main building.

"Hey, Lu Yichuan!" Chen Su called out to him, chased after him in a few steps, and blocked his way.

Lu Yichuan stopped impatiently, his eyes filled with hostility: "What?"

Chen Su blinked, a deliberately sympathetic expression on her face: "I'm here... to comfort you."

Lu Yichuan was almost laughing in anger. He looked Chen Su up and down, a sarcastic smile playing on his lips: "Chen Su, your consolation is certainly timely. You waited a whole week, and all you get is this casual remark? How hypocritical!"

Chen Su felt a little embarrassed by what he said, but she wasn't angry.

She opened her limited-edition handbag, pulled out a black supplementary credit card, and handed it to him: "I'm here to offer you some comfort, aren't I? Here, take this card. The credit limit is pretty good; it should be enough for emergencies."

She has many credit cards and an endless amount of pocket money, so taking out one card is really nothing.

Lu Yichuan stared at the card, stunned.

He truly didn't expect Chen Su to pull this stunt.

All his cards were frozen, and his allowance was cut off. Although he wouldn't starve, the sudden tightening of his lavish lifestyle was certainly unpleasant.

Lu Yichuan stared at the card for a few seconds, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by his usual arrogance and awkwardness.

He snorted coldly and turned his face away: "You're being generous. But I, Lu Yichuan, am not so destitute that I need to rely on your card to make ends meet. Take it away, it's an eyesore."

He didn't answer.

Chen Su didn't insist, shrugged, and took the card back.

The two, unusually, did not confront each other and stood in the garden, chatting casually for a few minutes.

Although Lu Yichuan was still stubborn, his tone had softened considerably, and he even complained a few times about his brother's cruelty.

It wasn't until the maid came over to remind him, "Young Master Yichuan, tutoring time is almost here, Ms. Lin should be arriving soon."

Lu Yichuan's expression darkened further, clearly showing his dislike for the tutoring and Teacher Lin, but he didn't say anything and turned to walk towards the main building.

Chen Su thought for a moment and followed.

However, to their surprise, as soon as they entered the lobby on the first floor, they saw the main entrance being pushed open.

Lu Yu walked in, followed a few steps behind Lin Zhixia.

The two walked one after the other. Lu Yu walked with a steady pace, while Lin Zhixia lowered her head slightly, holding books and a folder of documents in her hands.

The bright lights in the hall shone on the four people, and the air seemed to freeze instantly.

The four people, their eyes locked, all stopped in their tracks.

Chen Su's gaze was fixed on Lu Yuze.

This was the first time the two had met since their unpleasant parting that night.

A week had passed, and he looked much the same. He was still wearing a well-tailored dark suit, with an upright posture and a stern face.

However, when his gaze swept over and met hers, Chen Su keenly noticed that a very faint but complex emotion seemed to have flashed across his usually calm and unwavering eyes, so quickly that she didn't have time to discern it.

Lu Yuze also saw Chen Su.

She was wearing a pale yellow dress today, and standing in the center of the hall, she was so bright it was almost dazzling.

No one spoke, and a subtle silence filled the air.

Lu Yichuan broke the silence first, his tone tinged with surprise: "Brother? How come... you came back with Teacher Lin?"

Lu Yuze shifted his gaze from Chen Su's face to him, his expression returning to its usual indifference, his tone flat and emotionless: "We bumped into each other on the way. She was going to tutor you, so Uncle Wang picked her up."

Uncle Wang is his personal driver.

After explaining succinctly, he didn't look at anyone else, and walked straight towards the stairs, clearly heading back to his study.

Lu Yichuan said "Oh," pursed his lips, and said to Lin Zhixia, "Let's go, Teacher Lin, let's go to tutoring."

Lin Zhixia agreed, nodded slightly to Chen Su as a greeting, and then left with Lu Yichuan.

In the blink of an eye, only Chen Su remained in the hall.

She watched Lu Yuze's figure disappear around the corner of the stairs, then looked at Lu Yichuan and Lin Zhixia's figures heading towards the study in the other side of the hall, and her fingertips unconsciously curled up.

She stood there for a few seconds, took a deep breath, turned around, went straight upstairs to the familiar dark solid wood door.

She raised her hand and gently knocked on the door.

There was a two-second silence inside, followed by Lu Yuze's low, emotionless voice:

"Enter."
