Young Master Lu’s Lovely New Bride

Chapter 382 - Let's Get Married!



Chapter 382 Let’s Get Married!

The next day…

What Su Yicheng had wished for finally took place that day.

It occupied the headlines on the entertainment pages of the main newspapers, as well as the major gossip news websites, that he had taken great pains to propose to Luo Xiaoxi. The videos and photos of the fireworks and light shows were widely spreading among all the people.

The pervasive media dug up that Luo Xiaoxi’s dress had been designed by Master Levine. They also said that it had been Levine’s first time designing a dress for a woman other than his wife. According to Levine himself, he had been touched by Su Yicheng’s sincerity.

What’s more, the diamond ring that Su Yicheng had used for proposing was also very expensive. It had been made of the best 4C diamond, and designed by a master, as well as cut and inlaid by the most famous craftsman, which made it as luxurious as the one that Lu Boyan had given Su Jianan.

The fireworks and light show the previous night had illuminated more than half of the city. Some people made a rough estimate and found that the 20-minute visual feast had cost at least one million.

In City A, countless people were able to afford it.

However, there were few aside from Su Yicheng who could afford it as well as coordinate multiple parties and make it possible for dozens of buildings to work together for a great light show.

Those dirty and harsh words about Luo Xiaoxi disappeared overnight and were replaced by overwhelming blessings.

Some said that Luo Xiaoxi deserved all that—To win Su Yicheng’s heart, she had undergone great pains for 10 years.

Therefore, Su Yicheng caused a sensation in the city to propose to her, which was a matter of course.

On Weibo, Su Yicheng’s proposal to Luo Xiaoxi became the hottest topic, and on the gossip websites, discussions on that matter filled the entire page.

Some commented that although Luo Xiaoxi had failed to win the Top Model championship, marrying the Cheng An Group president was enough to give her lifelong fame.

When all the people were discussing that, the two were in deep sleep, and they spent that sensational morning without knowing what was going on.

When Luo Xiaoxi opened her eyes, it was already past noon.

The previous night, Mr. Su’s teaching time had lasted long. She felt just like falling apart when she woke up. She didn’t want to move and she kicked Su Yicheng.

Su Yicheng was also half-dreaming and half-awake, then he hugged Luo Xiaoxi as usual and asked, “What time is it now?”

Luo Xiaoxi checked the time, and her scalp was instantly stiff. She said, “It’s almost 1 p.m…”

Su Yicheng suddenly woke up. He threw the covers off and tried to pull Luo Xiaoxi up. He said, “Get up, we’ve got something to do in the afternoon.”

Luo Xiaoxi hummed and said, “Are you blaming me for it?”

Su Yicheng stopped his hand, then he turned his lips into a smile and kissed Luo Xiaoxi’s cheek. He said, “No. I blame myself.”

“…” Luo Xiaoxi could no longer refute.

After lunch, Su Yicheng went to change clothes to go out. Luo Xiaoxi sat on the sofa and watched the entertainment news with an iPad. Of course, the first bit of news she saw was the big hit that Su Yicheng had proposed to her.

This time, there were no taunts or ridicules. The comment area was filled with blessings and envy. As Luo Xiaoxi read it, her heart was smooth.

She was indeed excited and glad that Su Yicheng had proposed to her. But she didn’t care about others’ blessings or ridicules anymore.

The insults that Su Jianan had suffered and the inexplicable taunts of her made Luo Xiaoxi aware that there was no need for her to care about other people’s words, let alone argue with them.

Anyway, it was not fun to lower her IQ level.

Luo Xiaoxi was about to turn off the iPad, and she noticed a familiar name on the entertainment page: Han Ruoxi.

—Han Ruoxi clarified her relationship with Lu Boyan: We’ve been friends, and we had never done anything that friends were not supposed to do.

The reporter said that Han Ruoxi had attended the reception the previous night and clarified a misunderstanding: On the night of the annual Lu Enterprises’ meeting, she and Lu Boyan’s assistant had taken him back to the apartment. After that, she and his assistant had gone to the basement and left to avoid gossip, and she hadn’t thought that it would have caused a big misunderstanding.

The reporters found the monitor videos of that day and did see Han Ruoxi’s car driving out of the basement parking lot, which meant that Han Ruoxi was not lying.

However, that was why Han Ruoxi was controversial.

A few years before that, when she and Lu Boyan first shared a scandal, she had given the reporters ambiguous answers, thus making them think that she and Lu Boyan were in love with each other. After he got married, sometimes she had confessed that she liked Lu Boyan and let the rumors about them spread, while sometimes she had declared that they were just friends.

So some netizens asked: Are you in a dream every day that you are with Lu Boyan? Is that why your logic is chaotic and your words are upside down?

Some even supposed that Han Ruoxi was fooling the public, and she had never told the truth about Lu Boyan and her because she had wanted the hype from the very beginning.

Han Ruoxi did not respond to those questions, and she announced that she would take some time off to adjust and improve herself.

Luo Xiaoxi snorted and turned off the iPad. She said, “Nonsense. You know you are too ashamed to face the public.”

Su Yicheng came out after changing his clothes and saw Luo Xiaoxi’s infinitely disdainful look. He walked over to her and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“I’m glad that I can see a scheming woman lose face, I’m happy!” Luo Xiaoxi held Su Yicheng’s arm and said, “So let’s getting married!”

Su Yicheng: “…”

In the afternoon, few people were registering at the civil affairs bureau. Su Yicheng parked and found Luo Xiaoxi in the passenger seat shrinking her shoulders while timidly looking outside, with an unsure look on her face, instead of the determined one when they left the apartment.

He narrowed his eyes, saying, “Xiaoxi?”

Luo Xiaoxi looked at Su Yicheng as if she had just woken up from a dream. She said, “I’m suddenly a bit scared.”

She loved Su Yicheng and had always dreamed of marrying him. When the day finally came, however, she didn’t know whether she was overcome by surprise or something else, but she felt somewhat anxious.

She knew that if she went into the bureau, filled in the information, and signed her name, she would become “Mrs. Su” and she would no longer be as free as she used to.

Su Yicheng held Luo Xiaoxi’s hands and looked at her. He said, “We are just getting married, not signing a contract for the sale of our bodies.”

“But I heard that the reason why human beings have to get married is that they know they will never love only one person. They need this kind of contractual relationship to restrain themselves, to impose a sense of responsibility on themselves, and to force themselves to be loyal to marriage and the family…”

“Who told you that nonsense?” Su Yicheng frowned and interrupted Luo Xiaoxi. He said, “Xiaoxi, I want to marry you because I love you, and I’m sure I’ll only love you all my life.”

“…” Luo Xiaoxi was still uncertain.

Su Yicheng sighed and said, “Xiaoxi, I want to start a family with you.”

Luo Xiaoxi was touched by his words. She made up her mind and pulled Su Yicheng out of the car. She said, “Hurry up, or I may go back on what I said.”

Strangely, when she finally signed and got the marriage certificate, Luo Xiaoxi didn’t feel regretful at all. Looking at the little red book, she almost fainted from ecstasy.

She married Su Yicheng. That had only happened in her dream, and it finally came true then!

Outside the civil affairs bureau, Luo Xiaoxi suddenly shouted, “Su Yicheng!” Then she jumped into his arms and hugged him tightly, saying, “We are married, is it true!?”

“You can say that I’m your ‘husband’ from now on, do you think it’s true or not?” With that, Su Yicheng held her tightly. He thought for the first time that Luo Xiaoxi was like a fool, but her hesitation, as well as her excitement, had made her a cute fool.

Luo Xiaoxi rested her head on Su Yicheng’s chest, and feverishly said to him, “Honey!”

All at once, Su Yicheng felt like his heart was hit by something soft and warm, and that warm current ran through his veins within his whole body.

For a few seconds, he couldn’t say a word, and he just hugged Luo Xiaoxi more tightly.

Su Yicheng was silent for a while, which made Luo Xiaoxi think that he didn’t like her speaking to him that way. She looked up confusedly and met with Su Yicheng’s soft eyes.

She was temporarily at a loss. Then she heard Su Yicheng say, “Xiaoxi, call me ‘honey’ again.”

Many people were going in and out of the civil affairs bureau. They looked at Su Yicheng and Luo Xiaoxi with curiosity and someone recognized them—the couple of the marriage proposal that smashed all of City A the previous night.

Luo Xiaoxi felt embarrassed for the first time and tried to pull Su Yicheng away. She said, “Let’s go home, I’ll call you that tonight!”

“Tonight?” he thought.

Su Yicheng turned his lips into a smile and followed Luo Xiaoxi to the parking lot.

After getting in the car, Luo Xiaoxi received a call from her mother, who asked why she and Su Yicheng hadn’t returned yet.

Luo Xiaoxi was embarrassed to say that they hadn’t got up until noon. So she said, “We just finished registering. There were so many people in the civil affairs bureau today. We waited in line all morning!”

“So you got your marriage licenses!” Mrs. Luo smiled and said, “Then come back soon, I’ll study the recipes for dinner! By the way, what would Yicheng like to eat?”

“Why don’t you ask me what I want to eat?” Luo Xiaoxi said in dissatisfaction.

“Take a hike.” Mrs. Luo just ignored Luo Xiaoxi’s words and said, “I know you’ll eat everything! Yicheng has come to our house as a guest. But today, he is coming as our son-in-law for the first time. You must make him feel that we value him!”

“You’re just partial.” Although dissatisfied, Luo Xiaoxi still told her mother about Su Yicheng’s tastes.

Su Yicheng started the car and headed for her home facing the sunset in the west.

An hour later, the car stopped in front of the Luo family villa. Luo Xiaoxi took Su Yicheng into the house, and Mrs. Luo greeted them with a smile. Su Yicheng said as usual, “Auntie.”

Luo Xiaoxi felt embarrassed, gently squeezing Su Yicheng’s hand to remind him that he was wrong.

Only then did Su Yicheng realize it. With an embarrassed look on his face, he respectfully said, “Mom.”

Mrs. Luo grinned from ear to ear and said, “Come in.” Then she waved at the servant while saying, “Go to the study and tell Mr. Luo that Xiaoxi is here with Yicheng and that they got their licenses.”

Mr. Luo had heard their voices and went downstairs. He walked over to them with a smile and Su Yicheng said to him, “Dad.”

Having not called someone “dad” for more than 10 years, Su Yicheng had thought that he would feel awkward. However, since he was grateful to the man who had brought up Luo Xiaoxi, he naturally called him “dad”.

Mr. Luo gladly patted Su Yicheng’s shoulder and said, “I didn’t drink to the fullest last time. Now you called me ‘dad’, so you have to join me!”

That night, the atmosphere of the Luo family was cheerful.
