Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 985 - 982: Three Months Ago

In the first-floor hall, Nangong Xuan looked rather forlornly towards the second floor, then found a lonely corner to sit down.

This engagement party was just an excuse for him to return to the country, being a part of it or not made no difference to him.

A minute before the engagement party began, Lu Jincheng finally showed up fashionably late.

The bride-to-be had arrived early, but the groom was nowhere to be seen. Many present had questions about this, yet no one dared to ask directly.

Han Shiwen had changed into a spare dress briefly, and then saw Lu Jincheng walking in from outside, her heart filled with joy. She had thought Lu Jincheng hadn’t appeared for so long because he had regrets, who knew he would show up at the last minute.

"Ah Chen~" Han Shiwen stood before him, maintaining a dignified smile, neither too much nor too little.

Lu Jincheng acknowledged with a faint "hmm," then walked towards Xiao Qing and Lu Jinyang. Han Shiwen was momentarily taken aback and did not follow.

Before he could speak, Lu Jinyang already had a displeased look. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"I thought you weren’t planning to appear today," he said.

Lu Jincheng’s lips twitched almost imperceptibly. Why did he feel like his father was looking at him as if he were a scoundrel?

Seeing him remain silent, Lu Jinyang added, "Come to my study, I have something to say to you." With that, he turned and left.

Lu Jincheng checked his watch, frowning slightly, "The engagement party is about to start."

At these words, Lu Jinyang paused, grumbling, "The time was set by me in the first place." The implication being that even if he changed the time now, no one would dare to complain.

Lu Jincheng pinched his brow, motioning for him to go first.

Ever since Lu Jincheng walked towards Lu Jinyang, Han Shiwen had been watching them closely. Seeing them walk towards her now, her heart was pounding. Yes, it was time to announce the engagement!

But the next second, Han Shiwen’s smile stiffened on her face because Lu Jinyang and his son walked right past her and went upstairs.

They just... walked past her... and left?!

Isn’t it seven in the evening, the time for the ceremony?

Why...?

Han Shiwen watched the Lu father and son disappear in the second-floor corridor, nearly fuming.

Seeing this, the Han family members were also puzzled and approached her, "Wenwen, Mr. Lu, he..."

"Don’t ask me, I don’t know anything!"

Han’s mother was startled by her outburst. Realizing something, she quickly turned and went to find Han’s father. Han Shiwen stood there, staring intently at the second-floor corridor.

On the other side, Leng Senyan noticed something was amiss, giving a slight "huh," then asked his companion, "Sis, wasn’t it supposed to start at seven? Why isn’t Jincheng around?"

Leng Shuangshuang, browsing the news, lifted her head at Leng Senyan’s words, "What’s up?"

"Jincheng hasn’t shown up yet." With that, he showed Leng Shuangshuang the time.

She smirked slightly, "Let’s just wait and eat, the rest is out of our hands." Saying that, she returned her gaze to her phone.

However, Leng Senyan took her phone seriously and looked at her, "Sis, are you sure you don’t want to intervene? If the engagement goes through, and you stay with Jincheng, people will talk."

Seeing Leng Shuangshuang not respond, he added, "I don’t want people to gossip about you. Sis, weren’t you and Jincheng doing fine? Why is he suddenly engaged to someone else?"

Indeed, why?

Leng Shuangshuang’s eyes flickered, recalling the incident from three months ago.
