Long Tian 2

A man like Long Tian was one in a million. And in the New World Formation where the cost of living was sky-high, having a relationship with the son of the Great Commander was tantamount to securing a cash cow.

There were many instances where Lu Jin felt tempted to dump Gu Yan and cling onto the money-bags Long Tian. But she stomped on the impulse before it could take control of her mind.

If she ditched Gu Yan to chase after Long Tian, then Gu Yan wouldn't spare her. He would ruin her career and ruin her image in Long Tian's eyes.

Not only would he expose how she'd only approached him for his money. He would also embellish their love affair while she dated him.

By then, let alone Long Tian, even the luxurious life and status she enjoyed as Long Tian's girlfriend would be gone.

No...I can't lose this status...but I also want the man, Long Tian.

Gu Yan, you can only blame yourself for sending me to Long Tian's side...

A malicious gleam appeared in Lu Jin's eyes as she gritted her teeth and vowed to remove the stain, Gu Yan, from her life forever.

Upon hearing the dull footsteps resounding behind her, Lu Jin immediately schooled her expression and a wide, gentle smile graced her delicate features.

"Tian Tian, you're here." Pushing out of her seat, she took the initiative to grab his arm, her heart pounding in joyous delight when the females' envious and jealous glares landed on her figure.

"Hmmm..." The man coldly nodded.

Lu Jin threw the glaring women a possessive and victorious smirk and still clutching his arm, guided him to the counter.

That's right...the most handsome and richest man of the New World Formation was her boyfriend!

They can glare in jealousy or stare in envy.

Either way, Long Tian was hers, Lu Jin's.

Although she approached him on Gu Yan's instructions and acted in certain ways to attract his attention, once she came to know the perks of being Long Tian's girlfriend, she had a change of heart.

She wanted to rid herself of Gu Yan, marry Long Tian, and become the Young Madam of the Long Family!

But Gu Yan...how was she going to clear him out of her way?

She frowned then raised her head and smiled radiantly at the breathtaking man across from her.

"Tian Tian, why did you want to see me at this time? Is something the matter?"

"My father wants me to marry his friend's daughter." Long Tian expressionlessly said.

"What!? Your father wants you to marry his friend's daughter?" Lu Jin was stunned. Of all the things she expected to hear, this wasn't one of them.

How can Long Tian marry someone else? What about her and her dreams?

Wasn't Long Tian supposed to take her to meet his parents? Then where did this other woman come from?

Lu Jin panicked. The cash cow she was eyeing was about to slip out of her hand. How could she possibly remain calm?

Her head spanned as various questions floated in and out.

Long Tian saw her face turn pale and missing taking it for heartache, his cold mask melted away.

He sighed helplessly and squeezed Lu Jin's hand, his face turning gentle as he softly comforted.

"Lu Jin, don't worry. I won't marry her. I already told my father that I want to marry you."

"Really!? Then...what did he say?" Lu Jin's soul returned to her body when she heard his words.

He wants to marry me!

Heart pounding in her ears, she expectantly fixed her shining eyes on the man.

"He said he won't accept you as his daughter-in-law. If I dare to make you my wife even after his objections, he will disown me. But don't worry. No matter what my father says, I'll still marry you. Even if I get kicked out of the Long Family register and become homeless, I'll never abandon you, okay?"

"How can that be...?" Lu Jin's eyes turned from shiny to vacant in a matter of seconds. Shocked speechless, she dazedly slumped back in her seat.

"He's your father! How can he disown you?"

Marry a Long Tian that was disowned and homeless...?

Why would she do that?

The Long Tian she loved was the son of the Great Commander.

The one and only heir of the New World Formation's powerful Long Family.

If he gets disowned and abandoned by his family, he would be nothing more than a poor, homeless guy. Worse than even Gu Yan who at least started his own company.

Even if Long Tian was better looking than Gu Yan, so what?

Why would she marry a homeless guy when she could find herself another rich man?

But should she really give up on him? As much as she hated to admit it, Lu Jin loved the man's noble aura and masculine looks.

If he convinced his father somehow, then maybe, they could still be together?

"Besides, I'm not completely hopeless. I've got my own company running well. Even if my Father disowns me, we won't be short of money. Don't worry, I won't let you starve."

In the New World Formation, more than looks and bodies, money and status mattered.

Lu Jin was thinking of how wretched her life would be if she married a homeless Long Tian that she didn't even hear his words.

On the other hand, Long Tian was unaware of the fact that the woman he was planning a future with was already thinking of ditching him.

With a stiff smile on her face, Lu Jin grabbed Long Tian's hand and looked at him with an aggrieved expression.

"Tian Tian, I don't want to be the cause of your family breaking apart. I don't want to see you get disowned by your father. If possible, could you try to convince him, instead? No matter how long it takes, I don't mind waiting."

Long Tian's heart softened when he heard her words.

This was one of the other reasons why he liked Lu Jin. Aside from being mature and modest, she was also kind and considerate and didn't have questionable relationships with multiple individuals.

In this period where sincerity was only a façade and modesty hard to find, he liked Lu Jin for she possessed both.

Besides, she was simple and straightforward...
