Chapter 427: Chapter 427 The Legendary Fiancee

She let herself calm down a bit from the tense emotions before continuing, "As for the second point you mentioned, I can explain it. You know about my family situation.

My dad has a friend named Luo Ziming, and he has a daughter called Luo Jinwen. Previously, our families considered having us date; I think Luo Jinwen had some feelings for me, but I didn’t like anyone at that time and thought that marrying anyone would be just living life, so I didn’t object.

However, later on, after her brother Luo Fangyuan caused me harm and tried to take credit for my achievements, my grandfather fell out with the Luo Family, and our families’ relationship could never return to how it was.

After some time of treatment, the doctor said that my leg would likely never heal. Luo Jinwen got engaged to the second grandson of the Sun Family in the compound, Sun Maolin, while I was still hospitalized."

Luo Qiao said with a laugh, "So you went to Qingshan Village to heal a broken heart?"

Lu Yichen laughed immediately, "Not exactly. At that time, I retired from the military because of my injury, which I had some difficulty accepting. Plus, my dad’s handling of the situation between me and Luo Fangyuan made me discontent, prompting me to want to leave Capital City.

As for Luo Jinwen, she was close with Yiting, and I always saw her as my sister’s friend. We didn’t even spend time together alone, let alone have any special feelings for her.

But I admit, when our families initially intended to pair us up, I did not object because I hadn’t met someone I liked and thought it would be the same with anyone.

But now that I have met you, it’s different. I find my heart in turmoil. I have let go of everything from the past and am striving to make myself better, even considering planning for our future.

So please forgive that offhand remark I made to ward off others’ pestering and give me a chance. I know I am a bit older, and my leg may stay like this for the rest of my life, but I really can’t just stand back and watch you from afar.

You can rest assured, I will strive to better myself and will wait until you have entered university. If by then you still don’t find me satisfactory, I will continue to strive harder, until you are satisfied."

Luo Qiao burst into laughter, "I thought you were going to say that if I was still not satisfied, you’d back out."

Lu Yichen laughed too, "To let go of you is impossible. I will take these few years to work hard, so you can see my efforts and achievements and wait for the day you nod in agreement."

Lu Yichen thought to himself, backing out was out of the question. The idea of the little girl becoming someone else’s partner, someone else’s wife, was unbearable to him.

As for what the little girl mentioned about eating separately, he didn’t even want to consider that possibility. However, they probably wouldn’t be able to eat together too often from now on. Since he had already promised to work hard today, it was time to take action.

He was determined to achieve something before the little girl went to university, to put her mind at ease.

After hearing Lu Yichen’s words, Luo Qiao was fairly satisfied and said, "Since you’ve said so much, let’s both work hard."

Lu Yichen, pleased with this outcome, cleared his throat and said, "About that, I think it’s quite nice to eat together, so we don’t have to change that, right? Besides, we should consider Stone’s feelings, don’t you think?"

Luo Qiao thought for a moment and said, "Okay then. I was just worried that one day your so-called fiancée might pop over, and it would be awkward for everyone."

Lu Yichen cleared his throat, "My mistake. I won’t tell such lies again. If there is ever such a day, the fiancée would definitely not be anyone else but you."

Luo Qiao didn’t reply and started clearing up the things on the table, "Which day are you going back to Capital City?"

Lu Yichen answered, "Either the day after tomorrow or the day after that. I have a case that needs appraisal, which can’t be done here, so I have to go to Capital City. I might stay for a few days to see my grandfather and Yiting."

Luo Qiao said, "Then okay, I’ll make some food later for you to take to my master’s place. I’ve been too busy and neglected it lately."

Lu Yichen was more than willing, as it was the perfect opportunity to build a good relationship with someone dear to her, which could lessen any resistance in the future.
