Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 1371 - 1371 1300 Return to Cloud City

1371: Chapter 1300: Return to Cloud City 1371: Chapter 1300: Return to Cloud City “Lu Chuan, wait a moment.”

“Is there something you need, Ma’am?

Hmm…

If you’re flying back to Luo City, getting tickets might indeed be a problem.

I estimate the Ye Family has already determined you and Ye Chongshan to be deceased, so explaining that could be a bit troublesome.

How about this—I’ll take care of it for you.

Go back to Luo City first; we can talk about the rest later.”

“No, this isn’t what I want to talk about.

Sit down first.”

“Sit down?”

Lu Chuan blinked, trying to glean a clue from Li Yingnu’s expression.

But unfortunately, Li Yingnu’s face was blank, leaving Lu Chuan no choice but to comply obediently.

“Lu Chuan, what exactly is your relationship with Jiaxin?”

“…Ma’am, how did you notice?”

“Just a hunch.

For you to do so much for me and the Ye Family, do you mean to say that this is all out of the goodness of your heart, just to do a good deed?

No one does anything without a motive.

Yet you haven’t used this as leverage to compel me to do anything for you, nor have you ever actively asked me for anything.

Considering your past experiences with the Ye Family, it’s really not hard to guess.”

Listening to Li Yingnu’s explanation, Lu Chuan nodded in admiration for his mother-in-law’s perceptiveness.

It was no wonder she managed to discover Ye Chongshan’s affair outside—her keen insight made it nearly impossible not to notice!

“You’re not speaking, which means you’re tacitly admitting it?

How far have you and Jiaxin progressed?”

“…We’ve consummated the relationship as husband and wife.”

“I knew it…”

Li Yingnu let out a long sigh, her expression hard to describe.

Neither sad nor happy—just complex.

“Lu Chuan, I’m going to ask you a few questions; can you answer them honestly?”

“Please go ahead, Ma’am.”

“Do you have other women outside?

Does Jiaxin know about this?”

“Ma’am, you guessed correctly—indeed, I do have other women.

Jiaxin is aware of all this.

I haven’t deceived her.

Perhaps in your eyes, my actions are quite reprehensible, but at the very least, our feelings are real and pure.”

Lu Chuan thought Li Yingnu might explode with rage, but she didn’t.

Instead, she calmly adjusted her emotions.

“At this point, even if I were to ask you to leave those other women and focus solely on Jiaxin, I imagine it would be impossible, right?

So be it—it’s your business, not mine.

As long as Jiaxin can be happy, as her mother, I’ll support her.

But Lu Chuan, you understand, don’t you?

Although I’ve been asleep for so many years, my strength hasn’t waned.

If, in the future, you hurt Jiaxin, I won’t elaborate on the consequences—you should already know.”

“Understood.

However, I think at this moment Ma’am wouldn’t want to hear me making any cheap promises or vows.

So, I’ll say this: I can—and only I can—make Jiaxin happy.”

“Let’s hope so…

So will you be returning to Luo City with me this time?”

Lu Chuan shook his head, looking slightly regretful.

“I might need to go abroad for a bit, to an Island Country.

There’s something particularly important to me that I need to retrieve, so I can’t accompany Ma’am.”

“It’s fine; you have your own matters to attend to, which is a good thing.

But for the future, stop calling me ‘Ma’am.’ It sounds awkward—just call me Aunt.”

“Understood, Aunt.

When are you planning to depart?

I’ll arrange for someone to take you to the airport.”

“No need—I’ll be fine on my own.

Go take care of your business.

Visit Luo City sometime.”

After seeing Li Yingnu off, the matter finally came to a close.

Lu Chuan didn’t intend to linger.

After bidding farewell to his uncle and Tang Yurou, he returned to Cloud City.

To be honest, Lu Chuan had actually planned to bring Tang Yurou along, but unexpectedly, Tang Yurou refused his invitation.

According to her, all those women in Cloud City shared deep connections with Lu Chuan, having experienced intimate exchanges.

She was the only one who hadn’t fallen victim to Lu Chuan’s advances, leaving her feeling embarrassed—and so she decided to stay in Qingyang City.

Although this excuse seemed rather far-fetched to Lu Chuan, he eventually chose not to expose Tang Yurou’s reasoning, respecting her decision, and returned alone to Cloud City.

At the airport, after passing through security, Lu Chuan went to the VIP lounge to wait for his flight.

Not having returned for so long, to be honest, Lu Chuan felt a bit excited.

Cloud City—the place held extraordinary significance for Lu Chuan.

It was where his success had started, and it left him with many important and unforgettable memories.

However, looking back now, the memories were filled with nothing but romance.

Lu Chuan felt he’d been holding back for far too long.

Especially under the provocations of Nalan Xuan, it had been painfully difficult for him to stay resolute.

Looking back, he had been ridiculously upright about his behavior!

Beautiful and alluring like Nalan Xuan, practically delivered right to his doorstep, yet he still managed to retreat—what incredible self-control!

With such restraint, surely Nanqing wouldn’t mind rewarding him when he returned?

Thinking this, Lu Chuan grinned as his thoughts began to drift, only to be interrupted by a voice behind him urging him forward.

“Hey, what are you zoning out for?

Are you moving or not?

If not, let me go first!”

“Sorry, sorry.”

Startled awake, Lu Chuan quickly stepped aside.

A cute young girl with an annoyed expression glanced at him disdainfully and skirted around him to sit in her seat.

Lu Chuan didn’t care, shrugging as he continued to look for his seat.

“12A…”

Coincidentally, Lu Chuan ended up sitting in the same row as the annoyed young girl from earlier.

Noticing the boarding pass in Lu Chuan’s hand, the girl rolled her eyes but still stood up to signal for him to quickly take his seat.

“Thanks.”

“Can you not talk to me?

I have a boyfriend.”

Lu Chuan: “?”

Having a boyfriend—was that really something worth showing off?

As for talking to her?

Lu Chuan admitted that he liked pretty women, but even the ancient philosopher Gaozi once said, “Eating and love are human nature.” See—educated people thought the same way.

Lu Chuan didn’t feel there was anything wrong with liking beautiful women; after all, no one could deny the universal appreciation of beauty.

But Lu Chuan wasn’t into just anyone.

Especially this petite-looking girl with a childish vibe—she wasn’t even remotely close to Lu Chuan’s aesthetic preference.

He preferred women with a fuller figure.

“What does that have to do with me?”

Lu Chuan sneered, sitting down in his seat.

The girl continued to pull a sour face, as if she had swallowed a fly, angrily poking at her screen.

Judging by her attitude, Lu Chuan figured he wouldn’t be surprised if he soon became another infamous “cringe guy” on some social media platform.

But it didn’t matter—Lu Chuan couldn’t care less.

The last time at the airport, when he’d slapped that celebrity starlet, the incident had caused an uproar.

Yet in the end, didn’t it fade away?

According to Jiaxin, the actress had been funded by a sugar daddy, who turned out to be just a small lackey working for the Ye Family.

Once he discovered Lu Chuan’s identity, he swiftly severed ties with her.

Without backing, she naturally faded back into obscurity.
