The entire room fell silent.

What's going on?

What is this situation!?

For three years, Lu Chengwen has been clinging to Leng Qingqiu like a dogskin plaster, using all means to keep other men away from her just to get her.

During these three years, whenever Leng Qingqiu mentioned Lu Chengwen's engagement, she exploded with an attitude of absolute refusal.

And now these two have reversed roles?

Lu Chengwen doesn't want to marry, and Leng Qingqiu agrees.

Lu Chengwen must have gone completely mad!

He turned his head, looking at Leng Qingqiu in shock.

In his mind:

[Sis, what are you doing? What kind of nonsense is agreeing to an engagement? Sis, are you the imperial harem of Long Aotian? You have to go lick Long Aotian's shoes! If you mess with Long Aotian like this, I'll have to kill you!]

[That guy deliberately approached you, pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, showing off at critical moments, making you and your family have a favorable impression of him.]

[And then you offer yourself to him, your family's assets all go to him, you have to follow the plot properly!]

Leng Qingqiu looked at Lu Chengwen and sneered.

Do you want to break off the engagement?

Did you ask me?

You've disgusted me for three years, and now you want to sever ties just like that, and you've assumed I'd go be a concubine to a bodyguard.

Today, I'm going to make you sick!

I want to see how that Long Aotian plans to pull me into his harem!

Also, suddenly being able to hear Lu Chengwen's inner monologue shocked Leng Qingqiu greatly, and Lu Chengwen seemed to know a lot of bizarre things.

Although she didn't know what he was up to, for now, making all his purposes difficult to achieve was the best option for now.

The elders from both families began chatting animatedly, discussing eagerly the future wedding of the two, how their lives would unfold, who would take care of the grandchildren...

Lu Chengwen pulled Leng Qingqiu aside urgently and said, "Qingqiu, are you not feeling well today?"

Leng Qingqiu snorted, "I think you're the one not feeling well."

Lu Chengwen tried calming himself, "Okay, okay, let's not argue. It's about this engagement, we can't proceed with it, we need to change it."

Leng Qingqiu felt victorious.

For three years, she had no way to deal with this scoundrel.

He was shameless, clingy, and would resort to any despicable means.

She was truly fed up with him.

Now seeing him sweating profusely, looking flustered, Leng Qingqiu felt immensely satisfied.

Elder sister is going to handle you, scum!

Lu Chengwen: "Qingqiu, are you being pressured by the elders... Think about it, am I annoying?"

"Annoying."

"Do you dislike me?"

"Dislike."

"Am I disgusting?"

"Extremely disgusting."

"Then why do you still want to be engaged to me?"

"I do."

Lu Chengwen looked at her in shock, suddenly feeling like he didn't understand this woman.

At this point, the two families had already made arrangements and excitedly ushered the couple to the small garden.

Lu Chengwen's mind was in a whirl.

Standing with Leng Qingqiu on the stage, he was still thinking:

[Isn't this a disaster! In a few minutes, Long Aotian will burst out and break my legs, then snatch Leng Qingqiu away.]

[So, this is the disaster I can't escape from? Even if I knew the direction things were going, would I still be unable to do anything?]

[Leng Qingqiu is acting too out of character! Wasn't she especially annoyed with me? What's going on today?]

Leng Qingqiu squinted as she listened to Lu Chengwen's thoughts, feeling even more shocked!

This guy not only could I hear his thoughts, but he also "knew the direction things were going"?

Will Long Aotian stand up and oppose?

The emcee was very excited, "Dear guests, entrusted by the Lu and Leng families, I'm here to announce major news! The eldest son of the Lu family, Lu Chengwen, and the eldest daughter of the Leng family, Leng Qingqiu, will hold their engagement ceremony on the tenth of next month..."

"I object!"

At this moment, a security guard walked out of the crowd, none other than the genuine male lead of this book—Long Aotian.

The emcee glanced at him, "Get this low-level security guard out of here!"

Lu Chengwen saw Long Aotian and felt his legs cramp up.

He involuntarily took a step back.

Leng Qingqiu looked at Lu Chengwen, feeling extremely surprised.

He predicted it!

Long Aotian walked up to the emcee, who tried to push him away but ended up being thrown off the stage by him.

Leng Qingqiu glared, "Long Aotian, what are you doing?"

Long Aotian grabbed Leng Qingqiu's shoulders, "Qingqiu, please trust me. I won't allow anyone to force you. Your destiny should be in your own hands."

To be honest, if things followed the plot, with Lu Chengwen being stubborn, the Lu family pressuring them, and her parents willing to facilitate this beneficial marriage... Long Aotian's intervention at this moment would surprise and move Leng Qingqiu greatly.

This bodyguard had shown exceptional performance in a recent accident, displaying remarkable skills that had earned her admiration.

Thus, she had specially taken him under her wing, making him her bodyguard. Over these past few days, her impression of him had indeed been improving constantly.

But with Lu Chengwen's psychological preparation in advance, the taste had changed completely.

At this moment, Leng Qingqiu only felt that this guy was deliberately approaching her, scheming for her family's wealth, sinister and disgusting, even more so than Lu Chengwen!

Leng Qingqiu pushed his hands away, "Long Aotian, you're just my bodyguard, my family affairs are none of your concern."

"Qingqiu, I understand your concerns. But rest assured, with me here today, no one can force you into marriage."

Lu Chengwen nodded.

[Of course, you're so awesome!]

[There should be more righteous words, right? Come on, speak up, expose the truth without fear. As a warrior, you need to let everyone know that you stand on the side of justice.]

[Please begin your performance!]

Long Aotian turned around, facing all the guests, and spoke loudly:

"The prestigious Snow City's four major families, instead of earning profits through legitimate means, are resorting to sacrificing a girl's happiness for their interests! Do you still have any shame? Have you truly considered Qingqiu's happiness?"

Lu Chengwen applauded behind him.

[Bravo! Qingqiu, it's your turn now, cry for me!]

[He has said all this, if you're not moved, it's unacceptable, come on, cry!]

Leng Qingqiu looked at Lu Chengwen, the coldness in her eyes reflecting the flames of humiliation.

Lu Chengwen, feeling awkward under Leng Qingqiu's fierce gaze, reluctantly withdrew his hand and pretended to look elsewhere.

Long Aotian continued, "Uncle Leng, Aunt Leng, Qingqiu is your biological daughter. Can you bear to push her into the fire pit? What kind of person is Lu Chengwen, everyone in Snow City knows, right? To marry your daughter to such scum, don't you feel a shred of pity and regret?"

Cold Qingqiu angrily scolded, "My affairs, do they need to be managed by a bodyguard like you? You're fired! Now please leave."

Long Autian was also dumbfounded.

Huh!?

Why... does it seem... a bit wrong?

Things shouldn't develop like this!

At this moment, the voices around them all rose.

"Who is this person? Why is he so rude?"

"They're celebrating at home, what trouble is he causing by tagging along? Looks like he's just a lecher, with this behavior, he still covets Miss Cold's family?"

"Go take a piss and reflect on yourself, buddy!"

"Wow, this person's behavior looks so greasy!"

Lu Chengwen was extremely nervous.

[Why are you all shouting so loudly? If the hatred value rises anymore, he's going to attack!]

[Everyone calms down!]

At this moment, a burly man from the Lu family rushed up, grabbing Long Autian by the collar, "Kid, today is a joyous day for our young master Lu. You're looking for trouble, right? Take a look at this! Have you seen a fist as big as a sandbag before?"

Long Autian sneered.

Just a mere commoner, I could take your life with just a flick of my finger.

Long Autian closed his eyes, tilting his head back: The first battle of my famous reputation is about to begin!

Honor! Dignity! Beauties!

From this moment on—everything is mine!

Long Autian took a deep breath and suddenly opened his eyes, and the aura of a king enveloped him, "Since you want to fight, then I'll let you know what it means for the God of War to return! Today, I'll... huh!?"

With a thud, the big guy in front of him disappeared.

Looking down, the big guy was already pinned down by Lu Chengwen.

The big guy struggled to get up and fight Long Autian, but Lu Chengwen held him down tightly, and the two rolled into a ball.

"Good brother! Calm down! Calm down!" Lu Chengwen hurriedly reassured him.

Can't let him not be reassured!

This is the first sacrifice for the protagonist today. If the protagonist defeats him in one move, he'll have to break his legs next.

Lu Chengwen didn't want the protagonist to break his legs!

Lu Chengwen was almost in tears, "Good brother, it's not worth it... Look, give me a face..."

The guy instantly froze, "Young Master Lu, do you consider me your brother?"

After tearing up with him for a while, Lu Chengwen was already tired, panting, "Yes, good brother, for life."

The guy's face was full of tears, moved, "Young Master Lu, with your status, you consider me your brother! Today, I'll help Young Master Lu get rid of this kid!"

Long Autian shouted excitedly, "Alright! Come on! Let's fight!"

Lu Chengwen held the guy down, gritting his teeth, "If we're brothers, don't move!"

Sure enough, the guy instantly stopped moving.

Qingqiu angrily shouted, "Long Autian! Have you had enough? Get lost! I'm telling you to get lost!"

Long Autian was extremely shocked.

"Qingqiu, is someone from the Lu family threatening you? Don't worry, the Lu family is nothing in my eyes, just ants."

Qingqiu was so depressed it hurt.

Is this line too cliché?

"Long Autian, you've been fired, you can collect three months' salary, now leave immediately, I don't even want to waste another word on you."

Long Autian "understood."

Qingqiu was threatened by the Lu family, she didn't know that I was the God of War returning, afraid that I would be harmed by the Lu family's influence, so she deliberately pretended to break with me, sacrificing herself to protect me!

So touching!

My woman indeed has courage!

Not just him, even Lu Chengwen was thinking like this now.

Internally collapsing, he thought:

[Big sister! You don't need to protect him like this, I'm very well-behaved, and definitely won't cause you trouble!]

[I beg you, please leave with him quickly, it's best if I'm not in the future plot, I really can't handle being with you guys!]

Qingqiu looked at Lu Chengwen lying on the ground, still pressing down a crying security guard, suddenly feeling he was quite ridiculous.

For years, she hadn't noticed any good qualities in this person. Today, his panicked and embarrassing appearance somehow made him seem quite amusing and cute.

Qingqiu smiled rarely, "Brother Chengwen, get up."

Long Autian turned to look at Lu Chengwen, his eyes full of murderous intent.

Lu Chengwen was shocked.

[Damn! Can this guy hate me too? I haven't done anything!]

At this moment, a large group of security guards rushed over from a distance.

"Brothers! Someone wants to snatch our young master's woman! Get him!"

A group of people wielding security batons rushed over here.

Lu Chengwen was dumbfounded.

They are warriors!

You guys going up there are just experience points, don't cause trouble for me!

After beating you guys up, I won't be able to keep my chivalrous spirit and tender feelings anymore!

[Heavens! Earth! Is this instance so hard to clear?!]
