Love After Marriage - Chapter 9

Chapter 9 I Can Live a Good Life
Tang Luo’s heart skipped a beat as a wisp of panic appeared on her face as her thoughts drifted to that day.

She had just graduated and had zero working experience. In order to understand the industry better, she needed to lay a solid foundation.

She became a etiquette lady of Tianlin Garment Company. The purpose was to see more of the designs of the seniors.

She wore a red cheongsam that stretched to her thigh. Her hair was half-wrapped, her peach blossom eyes curved, making her look charming and lively. The dimples on her cheeks gave her some sweetness.

In order to gain momentum, Tianlin invited a lot of important people to guard the scene, including Lu Jingnian.

He sat in the center of the guest seats, his tall and slender figure set off by a three-piece black suit.

The sharp and hard features were clearly outlined, and just sitting there gave people a sense of oppression as if they were ruling over the world.

One could tell how powerful this person was from the fawning and nervous expressions on the faces of the few people beside him.

Her gaze swept casually, but just as her gaze landed on him, the astonishment in her eyes was caught by him before it could emerge. Her sharp gaze looked straight at him.

Tang Luo’s heart panicked, but she, who was well-educated, could not do anything rude. She curled her lips and smiled back.

His eyebrows curved, his dimples shallow, and his smiles and frowns carried with them the vigor and vitality that others could not move their eyes away from.

She didn’t look over again, even though she could feel Lu Jingnian’s shadowy gaze.

Undeniably, Lu Jingnian’s gaze gave her a lot of pressure, causing her to almost make a mistake on the way.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony went smoothly.

She walked up the stage with a tray while handing out event prizes to several outstanding fashion designers.

Lu Jingnian came straight to her as the person who presented the award.

Tang Luoxin was being watched by his hawk-like gaze. Out of animal instinct, she felt a little panicked and cold.

“Mr. Lu?” She suppressed her uneasiness and smiled as she reminded, “They’re waiting for you.”

Lu Jingnian lifted the red cloth covering the prize and lowered his head slightly as he took the item.

“How much do I have to pay to be my woman?”

His voice was very pleasant to hear, but the content of his words made Tang Luo’s heart tremble. Especially when his warm breath hit her ears, goosebumps instantly covered her entire body.

She did not dare to look at his face again, forgetting what kind of mood she was in and hurriedly turned around to flee from the venue.

If Lu Jingnian hadn’t brought her back to his house that day, she would have only thought that she had a nightmare that day.

Now that she heard Lu Jingnian mention that nightmare again, her heart immediately rose high.

“Have you thought of the answer?” Lu Jingnian’s voice pulled her back to her thoughts.

Tang Luoxin’s face was pale. Although she was a little panicked, she did not hesitate much.

“I refuse.”

She was a decisive person, so why beat around the bush if she didn’t want to?

Even if she was no longer a daughter of the Tang Family, she still had her own pride and self-esteem.

No matter how unbearable Tang Luo’s heart was, she would not be reduced to being someone’s mistress.

Lu Jingnian raised his eyebrows, and a layer of doubt appeared in his light eyes.

“Why?”

He gave her the qualifications to raise the price, and no matter what difficult request she made, he was confident that he would be able to satisfy her.

The driver also felt that Tang Luoxin was stupid.

Regardless of what she rejected Mr. Lu, it was undoubtedly a foolish act.

With Mr. Lu as her escort, if she wanted the stars in the sky, Mr. Lu could buy a few asteroids for her.

Tang Luoxin was a little afraid of Lu Jingnian. Such a powerful person, if it was someone else, they would be a little panicked.

“Because I haven’t fallen to the point where I need to sell myself.”

“I have hands and feet. I can live very well.”

If it weren’t for Lu Jingnian’s identity and background, Tang Luoxin wouldn’t have spoken so politely.

“Mr. Lu, I want to get off.”

Lu Jingnian narrowed her eyes, her eyes flashing with an unclear light. Her slender jade-like fingers tapped on the lightning sensing area of the pen, as if they were knocking on her heart.

Tang Luoxin waited for his answer. Her patience gradually disappeared when she saw the driver turn to the suburbs.

She was anxious and tried to open the car door. When she realized that it could open, she immediately jumped out of the car without thinking.

Lu Jingnian quickly pulled her into his arms, and his voice was filled with anger.

“Are you crazy?”

With the speed of the car so fast, if she jumped down rashly, she would definitely be injured!

Tang Luoxin lay in his arms, an indescribable cold fragrance lingering at the tip of her nose, faint and faint, causing her to panic even more.

“Let me go! I want to leave!”

She pretended to be calm and composed, but her eyelashes were trembling in fear.

Looking at her pale face and wriggling red lips, Lu Jingnian’s tone softened a little.

“You don’t need to be afraid. I will never force anyone.” Especially her.

“Stop.”

The driver stepped on the brakes and the car slowly stopped.

Tang Luoxin hurriedly broke free from his embrace, quickly pushed open the car door and jumped out of the car.

At first, she still walked quickly, but then she simply trotted, as if a wild beast was chasing after her.

In the past, when nothing had happened to the Tang Clan, the Tang Clan was as weak as ants in Lu Jingnian’s eyes.

Now that Tang Group had collapsed, she had no confidence to resist Lu Jingnian.

If he wanted to force it, she had no choice.
