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

Before going to bed that night, Chen Su's phone screen lit up with a message from Lu Yuze, concise and clear:

[I'll pick you up tomorrow when we go to try on and order our wedding dresses.]

Chen Su stared at the line of text for a few seconds, then tapped the screen lightly with her fingertip: 【Okay, Brother Yuze.】

Sent successfully.

She placed her phone on the bedside table and lay down in the soft bedding.

The night outside the window was as thick as ink, and all was silent.

Only a dim bedside lamp was on in the bedroom, casting long, swaying shadows on the walls.

She knew that beneath this tranquility, in the Chen family villa, someone was destined to toss and turn, unable to sleep that night.

_

The next morning, when Chen Su went downstairs, she was surprised to find that her father, Chen Zonghan, was not dressed properly as usual and ready to go to the company.

Instead, he was dressed in casual home clothes, sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding a tablet computer in his hand, his brows slightly furrowed, seemingly looking at something, but also somewhat absent-minded.

"Is Daddy off today?" Chen Su stepped forward with a sweet smile on her face.

Hearing the sound, Chen Zonghan looked up and saw his daughter. The serious expression on his face softened a little, and he reached out to touch her head: "Yes, I'm off today. I'm taking care of some things at home."

His voice sounded somewhat tired.

"Dad should rest more," Chen Su said, sitting down next to him. Her tone was full of a daughter's dependence on and concern for her father. "Spend more time at home with Mom."

At this moment, Su Wan also came downstairs.

She had clearly taken great care of herself today; her makeup was impeccable, her clothes were elegant, and the redness and swelling around her eyes had subsided, making it almost impossible to detect any trace of yesterday's condition unless you looked closely.

Hearing Chen Su's words, a smile appeared on her face. "Su Su is right."

But the smile seemed somewhat forced.

"Su Su, when did Yu Ze say he'd come to pick you up?" Su Wan sat down next to Chen Zonghan and asked softly, her gaze somewhat unfocused.

"Brother Yuze said nine o'clock," Chen Su replied.

"Okay." Su Wan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Breakfast was already laid out on the table, with a wide variety of dishes, including some of Chen Su's favorites, and even her favorite little cakes.

But the atmosphere in the air was completely at odds with the aroma of the food.

An unspoken, almost anxious silence permeated the area around the dining table. Occasional conversations were brief and stiff, carrying a deliberately maintained sense of normalcy.

Chen Zonghan's brows remained furrowed, and although Su Wan tried to smile, the dazed look and unease in her eyes were unmistakable.

Chen Su quietly ate her breakfast, taking small bites of the cake.

She knew perfectly well what her parents were anxious about.

What are we waiting for?

The impending truth hung over them like a giant sword, making them lose their appetite and feel restless.

After finishing our meal, we waited a while longer, until it was almost nine o'clock.

The doorbell rang right on time.

Lu Yu then arrived.

Today he was wearing a simple light gray suit, his posture was upright, and he was calm and elegant.

Upon entering, he politely greeted Chen Zonghan and Su Wan.

"Uncle, Aunt."

Chen Zonghan and Su Wan both stood up to respond. Su Wan's gaze lingered on Lu Yuze's face for a moment, but quickly moved away.

"Yuze is here, so Susu is in your care now." Chen Zonghan's tone was relatively calm.

"Mom and Dad, we're leaving now." Chen Su took Lu Yuze's arm and said goodbye to her parents.

"Go ahead, be careful on the road," Su Wan instructed, her voice a little hoarse.

Once inside the car, away from the suffocatingly oppressive atmosphere of the Chen residence, Chen Su finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She turned to the side, looking at Lu Yuzhe's sharply defined profile, her voice muffled with a hint of doubt:

"Brother Yuze, I feel like... Mom and Dad have been acting a little strange these past few days?"

Lu Yu, his gaze fixed ahead, glanced at her sideways upon hearing this, raising an eyebrow slightly: "Hmm?"

A simple syllable, carrying a question.

Chen Su thought for a moment and then described it seriously: "It just felt like... they seemed to have something on their minds. Their expressions were always very serious, and their brows were always furrowed. They didn't talk much during the meal, and the atmosphere was strange."

She paused, then, as if to comfort herself, nestled her head against his shoulder. "But maybe I'm just overthinking it? Perhaps the company is too busy, and they're too tired. Brother Yuze, you should take care of yourself too, don't overwork yourself, and get some rest."

Her last words carried a touch of coquettish concern, an attempt to steer the conversation in a lighter direction.

Lu Yu listened, letting out a short chuckle, raised his hand to ruffle her hair, and replied, "Mm."

Chen Su leaned against him, her gaze fixed on the rapidly receding street scene outside the car window.

Her thoughts had already drifted elsewhere.

Su Wan and Chen Zonghan didn't go to the company today; they stayed home... She knew perfectly well what they were going to do.

They need to conduct the final verification and final assessment.

They need to witness firsthand the most scientific and irrefutable evidence to confirm the truth that is almost right before their eyes yet is unbearable.

The results should be out tonight, or at the latest tomorrow, right?

After learning the test results and confirming that Lin Zhixia is their biological daughter, what will they do?

Was it shock, anger, pain, and then an eagerness to take back the real daughter?

Will I still hesitate because of the twenty years of nurturing I've received?

How will they view the person who has occupied the position of their biological daughter for twenty years?

Chen Su's fingertips unconsciously curled up slightly.

She quietly raised her eyes and looked at the man beside her again.

He remained calm, his gaze focused intently ahead, his jawline sharp and cold, as if all the disturbances of the outside world were irrelevant to him.

But... does he really know nothing?

Madam Lu and Su Wan were friends for many years and were very familiar with each other's appearance when they were young.

Lin Zhixia's face, which bore a five or six-point resemblance to Su Wan's, was so striking that even the servants could see something amiss. How could Madam Lu be completely oblivious?

Regarding Su Wan's unusual behavior after seeing Lin Zhixia at the Lu family home, and the almost obvious blood relationship...

Chen Su bit her lower lip; she knew.

The news came from the Lu family.

When Madam Lu mentioned that Su Wan had gray hair, she secretly took a hair sample from Su Wan's head and had it analyzed.

But won't Madam Lu inform Lu Yuze?

Given his position in the Lu family and his keen insight, he should have been one of the earliest people to know the truth.

But why... could he remain so calm?

He was so calm, as if he had everything under control, or... as if nothing concerned him at all.

Thinking of this, Chen Su subconsciously tightened her fingers and gripped Lu Yuze's sleeve.

Lu Yu noticed her movement, turned his head, and looked down at her slightly white knuckles before moving to her somewhat dazed face.

"What's wrong?" he asked, his voice still steady.

Chen Su snapped back to reality and met his deep eyes, which were calm and unfathomable, seemingly able to see through all her inner thoughts.

She forced a smile, shook her head, buried her face in his shoulder, and said softly, "It's nothing... Brother Yuze, I was just thinking about what the dress should look like."

Lu Yu seemed to believe her and didn't ask any more questions. He simply wrapped his arm around her, pulled her closer, lightly kissed the corner of her mouth, and rested his chin on the top of her head.

The car continued on its way.
