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

The banquet that followed the ceremony was a lively affair, with clinking glasses and elegantly dressed guests.

With Su Wan and Madam Lu flanking her, Chen Su moved among the elders and ladies of prominent families, receiving praise and blessings.

She always wore a perfectly timed sweet smile, handled situations with grace and elegance, and her shimmering gold skirt, like a flowing galaxy, drew everyone's attention.

On the other side, Lu Yuze, along with Chen Zonghan and Mr. Lu, exchanged pleasantries with several key business partners and political figures. Every gesture and movement exuded the demeanor and style of a person in power. He was composed and his words were impeccable.

Occasionally, he would raise his glass in a gesture of greeting, but his gaze would inadvertently sweep across the crowd, landing on that gilded figure for a moment before casually looking away.

_

Until late at night, when the moon was high in the sky.

The guests gradually dispersed, and the noise receded like the tide.

Lu Yu and Chen Su were driven back to Yulan by the driver.

Back at the villa, the world suddenly became quiet.

Isolated from the disturbances of the outside world, they were enveloped only by boundless tranquility.

Outside the window, the night sky was deep and dotted with a few scattered stars. The evening breeze rustled through the leaves of the trees in the courtyard.

Both of them drank quite a bit of alcohol.

Chen Su's cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were moist, making her look even more charming and innocent than usual.

Lu Yu was alright, though his eyes seemed deeper than usual. He remained composed as he walked, sat, and lay down. He had unbuttoned his suit jacket and loosened his tie a little, losing some of his usual coldness and gaining a more relaxed and casual air.

Chen Su seemed to remember something, her eyes lit up, and she walked unsteadily to the living room. From the small bag she had brought back, she carefully took out a long black velvet gift box.

Clutching the gift box, she stumbled unsteadily towards Lu Yuze, tilted her head back, and presented the box to him, her voice softer and sweeter with the influence of alcohol:

"Brother Yuze!" She blinked, her face a mixture of anticipation and a touch of pride. "Happy engagement!" She paused, her voice softening, carrying a unique intimacy, "And... happy birthday."

She hadn't forgotten that today was not only their engagement day, but also his birthday.

Lu Yuze's gaze fell on the box, paused for a moment, and then reached out to take it.

The gift box has an excellent texture and feels slightly cool to the touch.

He didn't open it immediately, but instead glanced at Chen Su.

She was staring at him expectantly, her eyes, brimming with the glow of alcohol and excitement, shining brightly and brimming with anticipation for praise.

Under her focused gaze, Lu Yu unpacked the package and opened the box.

Inside lay a dark blue tie, lying quietly.

The color is as deep as the dark sea at night, yet under indoor lighting, it exudes a restrained and luxurious luster.

The fabric is top-grade Italian silk, cool and silky to the touch.

What's even more special is that the seemingly simple subtle pattern on the tie is woven into it little by little with extremely fine silver thread using an ancient and complicated handcrafting method. It only glimpses itself at certain angles, making it understated and exquisite.

Attached to the card was a small card with a handwritten message from Chen Su: "Happy Birthday, Brother Yuze." The handwriting was round and cute, and a crooked little heart was drawn next to it.

This tie is not a luxury item that can be easily bought in a shopping mall.

Instead, it's a bespoke service that requires booking months in advance and using connections to secure a place. Not only are the prices staggering, but the waiting period is also extremely long.

This means that she had started preparing the gift at least a month ago.

Lu Yuze ran his slender fingers over the cool, silky surface of the tie, feeling the subtle texture woven from the silver threads.

He just watched quietly, without saying a word for a long time.

The living room was so quiet you could hear each other breathing.

Chen Su was getting a little impatient, so she couldn't help but tug at his sleeve and whisper, "Brother Yuze...do you like it?"

Lu Yuze shifted his gaze from the tie to her face.

A gentle, pleasant smile slowly curved his lips into a smile. "Very beautiful."

He said in a low voice, his voice unusually clear in the silence, "Thank you, Su Su, you've gone to so much trouble."

Upon hearing his affirmation, Chen Su immediately broke into a satisfied smile, as if all her hard work and preparations had been worthwhile.

She thought to herself that it was worth maxing out one of her supplementary credit cards and using a lot of connections to get this unique tie before her birthday.

"Then let me tie it for you, okay?" she suggested enthusiastically. The alcohol made her bolder and more clingy than usual.

Lu Yu did not refuse.

He relaxed his body, leaned back on the sofa, tilted his head back, revealing his smooth neck and Adam's apple, and moved in sync with her movements.

Chen Su picked up the expensive tie, stood in front of him, and bowed slightly.

Her fingers occasionally brushed against the skin on his neck, carrying the warmth of her slightly tipsy body and her unique sweet and soft fragrance.

She wasn't very good at tying ties; her movements were a bit clumsy, and it took her several attempts to finally manage a Windsor knot that wasn't quite standard and was rather crooked.

Lu Yu lowered his eyes and could see her red lips, slightly pursed due to her focus, and her eyelashes, which were very close to his.

Her breath, carrying the scent of wine, sprayed onto his chin.

"alright!"

Chen Su took a small step back, tilting her head to admire her masterpiece.

His dark blue tie complemented his dark gray suit and white shirt, while subtle silver thread patterns subtly appeared around his neck, creating a truly harmonious look.

She nodded in satisfaction and boasted, "Yes, it really looks great! I have excellent taste."

Lu Yu raised his hand and touched the bow tie, his fingertips touching the lingering warmth of her body, and said in a flat tone, "Hmm, it's tied well."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly grabbed her wrist, which she hadn't had time to pull back.

Chen Su was stunned for a moment, looking at him with confusion.

The force wasn't strong, but it was impossible to break free.

With a slight exertion, she unexpectedly fell between his open legs and sat on his lap.

Chen Su gasped softly, still not having reacted.

Lu Yuze's other hand was already on the back of her neck.

He slowly closed in, irresistibly, forcing her to bend down and get closer to him.

Then, he tilted his head back and kissed her lips.

The kiss was burning hot, and infused with the strong scent of alcohol...

...entangled and pursued.

Alcohol amplifies the senses but also impairs reason.

Chen Su initially tried to respond, but was quickly overwhelmed by the sudden offensive.

Only.

She passively endured it, her hands unconsciously climbing up his shoulders and clutching the fabric of his clothes.

His breathing became hot and erratic.

A fine tremor spread from my spine.

But Lu Yuze's hand slid down her smooth back, gently caressing her through the thin fabric of her dress...

Chen Su couldn't help but tremble slightly, letting out a broken sob from her throat.

"Brother Yuze..." she called out to him indistinctly, her voice trembling with emotion and a hint of helplessness.

"Hmm?" Lu Yuze's response was ambiguous amidst the lingering kiss, his hot breath brushing against her lips.

He didn't stop; instead, he picked her up and carried her to the large bed in the center of the bedroom.

He placed her among the soft bedding and then covered her with his body.

His movements were not rough; in fact, they carried an almost torturous, meticulous patience.

His fingertips, calloused, traced her bare skin, sending shivers down her spine.

The dress was gradually removed...

Lu Yuze's gaze darkened, and his Adam's apple bobbed.

A kiss followed, moving from her slightly swollen lips to her delicate, fragile neck.

Lingering on her delicate collarbone...

It left a faint pink mark.

Then it slowly descends...

Chen Su's fingernails dug unconsciously into the firm, taut muscles of his arm, leaving crescent-shaped marks.

In her dazed state, she felt something cool and smooth gently wrap around her wrist.

It was that dark blue tie.

She didn't know when he had taken it away, but now, the soft silk fabric was wrapped around her slender wrist, round and round...

He loosely tied a knot, then held it in his palm.

The slight feeling of restraint brought Chen Su back to a sliver of clarity from her confusion. She struggled slightly, her bewilderment mixed with an inexplicable panic.

Lu Yu looked down at her, the dim light in the bedroom casting deep shadows on his face, obscuring his expression. Only his eyes were unfathomable, filled with emotions she couldn't understand.

Chen Su felt like a small boat on a stormy sea, tossed high to the crest of a wave by the surging tide, only to plunge instantly into a dizzying trough.

She could only cling tightly to the only thing she had to rely on.

Helplessly adrift in the waves...

awareness.

Fragmented.

He pinched her chin, forcing her to tilt her flushed face up to receive his burning gaze and kisses.

He breathed softly in her ear, his voice hoarse and seductive: "Do you like this, hmm?"

With tears blurring her vision, Chen Su could only nod haphazardly, uttering broken syllables.

"Say it." He kissed her earlobe again...

He pressed her, not allowing her to give any evasive answers, "...Whose is it?"

"...It's yours," she choked out, her voice broken and pleading, "Brother Yuze, it's all yours..."

"Do you like me?" he continued to ask.

But it continues.

"I like it..." she answered almost instinctively.

Do you love me?

He asked again, his deep eyes fixed on her in the dim light, not missing a single subtle expression from her.

Chen Su's consciousness had long since dissipated.

Thoughts.

Scattered and in disarray.

She opened her mouth, but before she could form a complete syllable, she was overwhelmed by the surge of sensory overload.

This moment of silence may have lasted only half a second, or even less.

But it was enough for him to capture accurately.

Lu Yuze's gaze suddenly darkened for a moment, and a deeper, more complex emotion surged in his eyes.

next second.

"Waaah..." Chen Su suddenly bent down, hugged his neck, let out a short sob, and tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably.

"Do you love me?" That low, husky question rang in her ears again...

With a stubbornness.

This time, Chen Su finally used the last bit of her remaining consciousness to respond in a barely audible voice.

"like……"

Lu Yu lowered his eyes and chuckled softly.

"fraud."

He thought to himself.
