Chapter 016 Never Greedy 2_1

Chen Yuxuan listened and was immediately stupefied.

Knowing his mother and sister's personalities, he quickly recovered and said to Lu Qingqing in a pleasing tone, "I really didn't know about this, dear. Don't be angry. It would hurt me to see you upset. I'll talk to them next time."

Lu Qingqing snorted. The behavior of Mother Chen and Chen Yuwei had already diminished her expectations for the meeting to the lowest point.

As they got into the taxi, she said seriously to Chen Yuxuan, "Let me make it clear, Chen Yuxuan, even if your parents are coming to Pengcheng today, as your girlfriend, having a meal with them does not count as an official visit. Moreover, we're not at the stage of discussing marriage, so it's best if your parents don't say anything inappropriate."

Chen Yuxuan immediately put on a pitiful face and cozied up to her. "Qingqing, don't you want to marry me? To date without the intention of marriage is hooliganism. I'm devoted to you with all my heart, and have no second thoughts."

He almost raised his hand to swear an oath.

Lu Qingqing remained unmoved, "Marriage is a matter of sincerity. Where is your sincerity?"

In this day and age, she was not the naïve girl to be swayed by a mere "I love you."

Chen Yuxuan clutched his heart. "Dear, all my sincerity is in this heart, ah!"

Lu Qingqing let out a disdainful chuckle.

Any smart person knows that 'hehe' online means disdain. Chen Yuxuan rubbed his head, at a loss for what to say.

He knew more than anyone how far the topic of marriage was from reality.

He wanted to get married, to bring Lu Qingqing into his family more than anyone else, but in Pengcheng, he had no car, no house, no savings, and his salary could never catch up with the increasing housing prices. Even Yueyue had a mortgage back home to pay off. Not to mention the breathtakingly beautiful Lu Qingqing, even an average white-collar worker in Pengcheng might not consider him. It was only because Lu Qingqing was independent and financially comfortable, not caring whether he had money or not.

Having found out that an apartment in Rose Garden was worth tens of millions, and that Lu Qingqing's place was mortgage-free, Mother Chen and Chen Yuwei were so eager for Chen Yuxuan to marry Lu Qingqing that they kept egging on Father Chen after returning to the hotel.

"Don't forget to urge them when we meet for the meal later," Mother Chen reminded her husband again while waiting for their son to pick them up.

"I know, you've said it a hundred times," Father Chen replied with evident impatience.

Chen Yuwei, carrying her mobile phone, burst through the door, exclaiming, "Dad, Mom, I just found out online that Jinyu Hall, where we're eating today, is a top-class restaurant. They have all kinds of famous dishes, like abalone, shark fin, bird's nest, sea cucumber, you name it. Anyway, it's not our money, so we must order plenty, and if we can't finish, we'll pack it up for later."

She had left the door open when she came in, and Chen Yuxuan and Lu Qingqing happened to arrive at the entrance and heard everything clearly.

Lu Qingqing gave Chen Yuxuan a look that was both mocking and amused.

Chen Yuxuan felt embarrassed and awkward. He strode into the room and scolded, "Chen Yuwei, what nonsense are you spouting with Mom and Dad? Who acts like this when going out for a meal?"

Chen Yuwei, as if she heard nothing, turned with her parents to look at Lu Qingqing, who was following behind Chen Yuxuan.

Suddenly, all three of them gasped, their faces a picture of disbelief.

Could this woman, more beautiful than a big star, really be Chen Yuxuan's girlfriend?

As she stepped into the room, the room instantly lit up, radiating brilliance and stunning beauty.

That kind of charm and grace which seemed to emanate from her very bones was simply indescribable, even for Chen Yuwei, who had a bachelor's degree.

In the end, it was Mother Chen who broke the silence with a warm smile. "You must be Qingqing, right? Our Yuwei has always been a straightforward girl, simple and outspoken, not worldly. But she has a good heart, so please don't take offense at her words."
