Chapter 121 - 121 120 Fiancée Part One_1

121: Chapter 120 Fiancée Part One_1 121: Chapter 120 Fiancée Part One_1 Shen Yourong was startled by Lu Chuan’s sudden reaction, staring at him full of suspicion, and asked, “What’s the matter?

Is there a problem?”

Lu Chuan’s expression turned strange, and he asked hesitantly, “That…

have you ever been engaged?”

Shen Yourong looked at Lu Chuan with some contempt, “That’s none of your business.”

Su Ming said from the side, “Big brother, one shouldn’t be too fickle in love.

You can’t just ask every pretty woman with a big chest this kind of question.”

Shen Yourong immediately glared at Su Ming, “What did you say?”

Su Ming instantly started coughing violently, “That…

nothing, just praising you.”

Lu Chuan also glared at Su Ming, “You shut up!”

He looked back at Shen Yourong and said, “I didn’t mean to offend you, I just wanted to confirm something.”

Shen Yourong didn’t know what Lu Chuan wanted to confirm, but still replied, “I do have an arranged marriage, set by my grandfather.”

Lu Chuan quickly asked, “Is your fiancé named Lu Chuan?”

Shen Yourong’s face showed surprise, “How did you know?”

Lu Chuan gave a wry smile and thought to himself that this was too coincidental, then awkwardly said, “I…

am Lu Chuan.”

Shen Yourong’s eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at the man before her, momentarily at a loss for words.

Su Ming was also full of surprise, thinking just how many engagements had been arranged to bump into a fiancé like this?

Lu Chuan helplessly shrugged his shoulders.

Although he also felt that the scene was a bit too dramatic, among the several marriage certificates, there indeed was one with the name Shen Yourong on it.

And it was certain that it was the Shen Yourong right in front of him.

“It’s really quite a coincidence.

This marriage was also arranged by my grandfather.

I didn’t know at first either.

If you are unwilling, it’s okay.

I’ll bring the marriage certificate later, and we can call off the engagement,” said Lu Chuan.

Shen Yourong took a long time to calm down, finally returning to her senses from the shock.

She had fantasized about countless scenarios of meeting her unseen fiancé, but never had she expected their first meeting to be under such circumstances.

This is terrible, I whipped him so ferociously, will he think I’m a shrew?

He just met me and already wants to call off the wedding, does he think I’m too fierce?

But Grandfather said I must marry into this marriage.

If it gets called off, I’ll become the laughing stock of the family!

Besides, this guy isn’t even as strong as I am, and he looks so ordinary, why did Grandfather want me to marry someone like him, claiming that only he could suppress my constitution?

Could Grandfather have been lying to me?

All sorts of thoughts flooded Shen Yourong’s mind, and soon, she fixed her gaze on Lu Chuan, stepped forward two paces, and demanded, “What do you mean?

You want to call off the engagement as soon as we meet?

I haven’t even complained about you, yet you disdain me?”

Lu Chuan hurriedly said, “That’s not what I mean…”

Shen Yourong continued, “What do you mean it’s not what you mean?

Marriage isn’t something that can just be called off at will.

If we cancel this engagement, how am I supposed to face my parents and the people in my family?”

Lu Chuan found himself at a loss for words, thinking, but I have nine marriage documents, I can’t possibly marry all of you, can I?

Su Ming, on the other hand, thought to himself, “Big brother must be reluctant to let go of a wife with such charm…”

Just then, Su Ming’s eyes suddenly bulged, and he quickly asked, “Are you from the Shen family of Tiannan?”

Shen Yourong nodded, “Indeed.”

Su Ming unconsciously stepped back two paces, “No wonder, so young yet you’ve reached the Transcendent Realm.

Only a renowned martial arts family with centuries of heritage like the Shen family could nurture such a genius.”

Lu Chuan, puzzled, asked Su Ming, “The Shen family from Tiannan?

Are they famous?”

Su Ming nodded, “The Shen family from Tiannan is a name that resounds throughout the martial arts world, a true and ancient aristocratic family, whose status in the martial arts world is not the least bit inferior to the Profound Sect.”

The Profound Sect, with its reputation as the number one ancient martial institution, being on the same level as the Shen family spoke volumes of its foundation.

Su Ming then leaned over to whisper in Lu Chuan’s ear, “And the Shen family is mortal enemies with the Profound Sect, the kind that will not rest until one side is dead.

You must never let her know I used to be with the Profound Sect, or I’m a dead man!”

Lu Chuan’s brows lifted, surprised by the enmity between the Shen family and the Profound Sect.

Seeing the two men whispering, Shen Yourong called out, “What are you two secretly talking about over there!”

Su Ming gave an embarrassed smile and said, “Sister-in-law, why don’t we hurry up and treat your condition?

Otherwise, if the poison pill acts up later, my life will be over.”

Shen Yourong and Lu Chuan almost simultaneously shouted, “What did you call me (her)?”

Su Ming chuckled, “Isn’t it just a matter of time?”

Shen Yourong was so infuriated that her chest heaved.

The matter wasn’t even close to being settled, and this guy was speaking as if it were simple.

Moreover, she had just been scorned.

If not for considering her image, she would have whipped this thoughtless guy a few more times.

Lu Chuan, too lazy to argue, said to Shen Yourong, “Let’s go back and treat the condition first.

We can talk about the engagement later.”

Shen Yourong asked, “Do we have to go back to treat it?”

Lu Chuan replied, “It’s not convenient out here in the wilderness.

I need to find a quiet room to treat you.”

Shen Yourong said, “No need to go to so much trouble, there’s a cave nearby, you can treat me there.”

Lu Chuan thought about it and said, “That works.”

The three of them walked together toward the cave.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the cave.

Lu Chuan said to Su Ming, “You stand guard outside, don’t let anyone in, not even a monkey.”

Su Ming smiled and said, “I understand, I understand, don’t worry, absolutely nothing will disturb you.”

Lu Chuan always felt that his words were a bit strange, but he didn’t say anything.

Then he led Shen Yourong into the mountain cave.

The cave bore traces of human excavation, and it seemed like someone had spent time there, but according to the surroundings, that had been a very, very long time ago.

The two of them walked a few dozen meters into the cave, with Lu Chuan taking out his cellphone and turning on the flashlight for illumination.

The inside was very dark, and only with the help of the flashlight’s beam could they barely make out their surroundings.

At the end of the cave, there was a small pool of water, with droplets occasionally falling from the cracks in the rocks above, creating a conspicuous dripping sound in this quiet place.

Next to the pool was a three-meter-square stone that looked flat and resembled a bed.

Lu Chuan walked over and touched the stone, finding it smooth and clean, without a speck of dust.

“This is convenient.

There’s no need to go through the trouble of making a place for you to lie down,” Lu Chuan said with a smile.

Shen Yourong felt a surge of nervousness for no apparent reason.

In the pitch dark of this cave, which could be considered a confined space, she was with her fiancé, and he was asking her to lay down.

It all seemed slightly odd to her.

She asked, “Do I really have to lie down?”

Lu Chuan turned his head to look at her and said, “Definitely, I need to give you acupuncture.

How can I do that if you’re standing up?”

“Oh,” said Shen Yourong as she walked over to the stone and then laid on it.

Lu Chuan said, “Uh…

take off your coat and exposing a bit of your belly will be enough.”

Shen Yourong suddenly sat up and said, “Why do I need to remove clothes?

Are you serious about this or not?”

Lu Chuan replied very seriously, “You’re wearing a leather jacket, and the silver needle simply can’t go through it.

Plus, I’m only asking you to take off the jacket to expose a bit of your belly, not to strip naked.”

Shen Yourong said, “This leather jacket is one-piece; it doesn’t have a separate top.”

Lu Chuan said, “Then just unzip it a bit.”

Shen Yourong said, “No way.”

Lu Chuan looked puzzled, “Why not?

You’re not wearing anything underneath?”

Shen Yourong was suddenly silent.

Because the cave was too dark, Lu Chuan’s cellphone flashlight could only light up a small area in front of him, so he hadn’t noticed Shen Yourong’s expression.

If he had moved the flashlight over, he would have discovered that this woman with black shoulder-length hair, delicate features, and fair skin was blushing all the way down to her neck.

Seeing that Shen Yourong kept silent, a sudden feeling of alarm struck Lu Chuan’s heart as he said, “Don’t tell me I guessed it right?”

Shen Yourong explained weakly, “It was quite hot today, so I only wore a leather jacket.

Just today, I didn’t wear…

Who knew I’d need treatment…”

Lu Chuan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, thinking how defensively she was explaining, which made him feel like she often dressed this way.

Who would’ve thought such a beautiful woman would have such quirks.

He pondered for a moment and said, “The light in this cave is so dim, I can barely see the sides.

Just unzip a little, and I promise not to peek.”

After speaking, he took off his own coat and laid it on the stone, “Lie on my clothes so you won’t feel cold.”

Shen Yourong’s face showed hesitation, a mix of embarrassment and shyness.

She might not like wearing clothes underneath for comfort, but she had never undressed in front of a man.

After struggling with the decision for a while, considering this man might be her future husband, she compromised and asked, “Are you sure you won’t peek?”

Lu Chuan replied earnestly, “A gentleman’s word is his bond!”

Shen Yourong thought to herself, why does that sound like he’s talking about me?

She didn’t hesitate any longer, unzipped her leather jacket, lay on Lu Chuan’s clothes, and placed her hands protectively in front of her chest.

Lu Chuan coughed lightly twice and shined the flashlight on Shen Yourong’s belly, but his gaze couldn’t help but drift upward for a moment.

That glance nearly unsettled his commitment.

The name Yourong truly wasn’t given in vain.

Shen Yourong, noticing Lu Chuan’s slip, quickly protested, “Didn’t you say you wouldn’t peek!”

Lu Chuan hurriedly redirected his attention and defended himself, “It was unintentional, unintentional.”

Shen Yourong, both angry and annoyed but daring not to move out of fear of exposing herself, could only say, “Hurry up and treat me, and if you peek again, I will gouge out your eyes!”

“Alright, alright, I’ll start the treatment now,” Lu Chuan hurriedly said as he took out the silver needles and began acupuncture on Shen Yourong’s smooth and flat belly that bore the lines of defined abs.

When the first needle went in, Shen Yourong uttered a light hum, sending ripples through Lu Chuan’s heart.

He sternly chastised, “Don’t make any noise.

If my needle goes astray, you could have an attack right here, and then I wouldn’t be able to save you!”

Shen Yourong immediately shut her mouth, not daring to make another sound.

As Lu Chuan focused on the acupuncture, he thought to himself how compatible this woman’s physique was with his own True Dragon Destiny.

If he married her, would he no longer have to worry about his dragon’s yang power exploding?
