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

On the day of the banquet, dusk fell and the city lights began to twinkle.

Chen Su checked her outfit one last time in front of the full-length mirror.

She changed into a carefully chosen dusty rose satin halter-neck dress.

The dress has a delicate and soft sheen, and the one-shoulder design outlines the beautiful lines of the neck and shoulders and the delicate collarbone. The clever cutout at the waist reveals fair skin, adding a touch of subtle sexiness.

She paired it with a pair of pointed stilettos in the same color, which made her ankles look slender and her posture even more upright and elegant.

Her long hair was neatly tied up and secured with a small pearl hair clip, with a few stray strands falling casually, adding a touch of liveliness.

Standing in front of the mirror, she twirled gracefully, her skirt billowing like a newly blossoming pink rose.

She picked up her phone, found the right angle, took a picture, tapped her finger, and sent it to Lu Yuze.

[Brother Yuze, is it good-looking? Only two words are allowed in your answer.]

After sending the message, she held her phone, her fingertips unconsciously tapping the screen, feeling a mix of anticipation and inexplicable nervousness.

Not long after, a reply came.

【good.】

Chen Su frowned immediately upon seeing those two words.

Perfunctory……

Her fingers flew across the screen.

[Change two more words.]

This time the reply came even faster.

[Go downstairs.]

The two simple words made Chen Su's eyes light up instantly, and her previous slight dissatisfaction vanished in an instant.

She immediately grabbed the small, diamond-encrusted handbag beside her, carefully lifted the hem of her trailing skirt with her other hand, and quickly walked out of the room, her high heels clicking as she went downstairs.

At the entrance, the familiar black Maybach was already waiting.

Lu Yu was standing next to the car, clearly having been waiting for a while.

He clearly got a special makeover today.

The dark blue suit was perfectly tailored, making his broad shoulders and narrow waist appear even narrower, and highlighting his innate powerful aura to the fullest.

His hair was combed back into a slicked-back style, revealing his full forehead and sharp brow bones, which made his well-defined features appear even more striking.

Under the light of the night and the lobby lights, those light-colored eyes lost some of their usual aloofness and gained a more elusive quality, carrying... an almost sinister allure, yet their demeanor remained calm, creating a contradictory blend of a unique, roguish charm that was both dangerous and captivating.

Chen Su was stunned and slowed down her pace.

She walked up to him, looked up, and called out in a daze, "Brother Yuze..."

She murmured to herself.

"Hmm?" Lu Yu looked down at her, his gaze lingering on her for a moment. His eyes were calm and expressionless, yet it seemed as if he had scrutinized her from head to toe.

"You look so handsome today..." Chen Su blinked, and exclaimed honestly, "How come you look so handsome..."

Lu Yu was amused by her frankness and chuckled softly.

He didn't reply, but stepped forward and gentlemanly opened the back door for her.

Chen Su got into the car, and Lu Yu sat down next to her and instructed the driver to start the car.

The car drove smoothly into the night.

Throughout the journey, Chen Su's eyes were almost never off Lu Yuze.

She turned to the side, making no attempt to hide her admiration for his perfect profile, his straight nose, and his Adam's apple, which looked especially sexy in the dim light.

As she looked at him, she simply rested her head gently on his strong shoulder, the crisp, pleasant scent of cedar emanating from him mingling with a faint woody floral fragrance.

"Brother Yuze," she called him softly.

"Mmm," he responded, without moving, letting her lean against him.

"You're so handsome."

"Um."

"I really like you."

"Um."

She seemed encouraged, or perhaps talking to herself, as she continued to press for answers, her voice soft and gentle, tinged with a mixture of probing and expectation:

"do you like me?"

"..."

The carriage suddenly fell silent, with only the deep hum of the engine remaining.

Chen Su waited a few seconds, but received no response. She sat up straight, turned around, and glared at him angrily: "Why didn't you say 'uh-huh'?"

Lu Yu turned his head and looked at her slightly flushed cheeks and wide almond eyes, his lips suddenly curving into a smile and a hint of laughter in his eyes.

"Um."

He then slowly and clearly responded.

A low syllable, falling into Chen Su's ears, was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples.

Her heart was pounding, even faster than before.

She couldn't help but move closer, almost pressing her face against his chest, tilting her head back as she asked, her voice tinged with a triumphant slyness and uncertainty: "You like me?"

Lu Yu lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on her face so close to his. Her eyes were incredibly bright, clearly reflecting his features.

He paused for a moment, then responded clearly again:

"Um."

The joy in Chen Su's eyes was almost overflowing.

She bit her lower lip, unable to hide the upturned corners of her mouth, and pointed at her rosy cheek, her intention all too clear: "Then prove it to me."

Lu Yuze's gaze moved from her eyes to her slightly pouting lips coated with glossy lip gloss, and then to her cheek that had leaned forward.

His expression remained largely unchanged, except that the curve of his lips deepened slightly, suggesting he was in a rather pleasant mood.

The next second, under Chen Su's expectant gaze.

He didn't kiss her cheek.

Instead, he suddenly leaned closer.

With a clear objective, he covered her lips with his.

It's not a superficial touch.

His lips were warm, carrying his unique, cool scent. He first took her delicate lower lip into his mouth, gently rubbing it with an irresistible force, then slightly parted his lips and bit her gently.

"Hmm..." Chen Su was completely unprepared for him to kiss her directly, especially in this way.

A tingling, numb sensation exploded from her lips, traveling down her spine and making half of her body feel weak.

She stared blankly at his handsome face magnified so close to hers, her breath caught in her throat, her mind went blank, and for a moment she forgot how to react.

Lu Yu did not go any further; he only stayed for a few seconds before stepping back.

A trace of her bright red lip gloss lingered on the corner of his mouth, appearing particularly ambiguous in the dim light.

Seeing her dazed expression, he chuckled softly, his voice laced with a hint of laziness and mockery: "Stunned?"

Chen Su suddenly came to her senses. She shook her head in a panic and hurriedly rummaged through her handbag to find a small silk handkerchief that she always carried with her. She leaned over and carefully wiped the glaring red stain from the corner of his mouth.

When her fingertips touched his slightly cool skin, she recoiled as if burned.

Lu Yu let her do as she pleased, his gaze fixed on her flushed face, the smile in his eyes lingering for a long time.

_

The car arrived at the hotel where the birthday banquet was being held.

Luxury cars had already gathered at the entrance, and elegantly dressed people were everywhere.

Lu Yu got out of the car first, then turned around and reached out his hand to Chen Su inside the car.

Chen Su placed her hand in his palm, used his strength to get off the car steadily, and then naturally took his arm.

Lu Yuze's assistant had already stepped forward and handed the invitation to the staff at the door for review.

Upon seeing the invitation and the visitors, the staff member's expression immediately became extremely respectful, and they bowed to lead the way: "Mr. Lu, Ms. Chen, this way please. Mr. Li and the others are already waiting in the VIP lounge."

They bypassed the bustling concierge desk and registration area outside, and followed the staff directly through a red-carpeted private passage to a quieter and more luxurious VIP lounge.

The room was warm and bright, and most of the Li family's core relatives were here.

In the main seat, the sprightly old Mr. Li was smiling and talking to the people around him.

Upon seeing Lu Yuze and Chen Su enter, the old man's eyes lit up. He immediately stood up with the help of others and warmly greeted them.

"Yuze, Susu is here! Good, good, come here quickly." Old Master Li said with a smile.

"Grandpa Li." Lu Yu nodded slightly, his attitude respectful yet dignified.

He gestured for his assistant to step forward, who presented him with an antique-looking long box made of sandalwood.

Lu Yu then opened the box himself, and inside, on a red velvet lining, lay a jade ruyi carved with a lustrous, emerald green color.

The Ruyi scepter has a simple and smooth design, and the carving is extremely exquisite. Every pattern is lifelike. The jade is pure and flawless with excellent translucency. Under the light, it radiates a warm and restrained luster. It is clear at a glance that it is a rare and priceless treasure with a clear provenance.

"Susu and I have brought you a small gift; we hope Grandpa Li will like it," Lu Yu said calmly. "Wishing you good health and longevity."

Chen Su stepped forward at the opportune moment, her smile sweet and her voice clear: "Wishing Grandpa Li good health and a long and peaceful old age."

Mr. Li is a well-known antique collector, especially fond of jade.

Upon seeing the Ming Dynasty jade ruyi scepter, his eyes lit up immediately, his delight evident. He took the ruyi and examined it carefully, exclaiming repeatedly, "Excellent! Excellent! Yuze, Susu, you've been so thoughtful! This gift is something I, your grandfather, love so much!"

He stroked the smooth, jade-like body, completely captivated by it.

Seeing this, the Li family members around them and several distinguished guests who had arrived earlier also cast admiring and envious glances, whispering among themselves that the Lu family heir's actions were indeed extraordinary.

Amidst the attention and pleasantries of the crowd, Lu Yu and Chen Su were led to the seats of honor.

Those around them naturally showered them with compliments, praising Lu Yu for his discerning eye and Chen Su for her obedience and understanding, saying that the two were a perfect match, a match made in heaven.

Chen Su, arm in arm with Lu Yuze, wore a polite smile as she accepted the attention and praise of the crowd, but out of the corner of her eye, she secretly glanced again at the perfect profile of the man beside her.

The lingering warmth and tingling sensation from that brief touch seemed to remain on my lips.
