Chapter 151: Unforgettable Old Love

Lu Chengwen and Chen Mengyun went upstairs. They needed a private conversation.

Downstairs, Chen Moqun and the Lu family were chatting over hotpot.

"Moqun, has my brother gone crazy recently? I heard rumors that he wanted to bring 100,000 people into the slum to start construction. Big brother, 100,000 people! How much money will that cost for food, housing, and everything?"

"Haha, you've asked the right person!" Chen Moqun said, "If you ask me about chasing girls, I can write you several books to study. Do you ask about business? I can't even figure out how to sell a pancake."

Chen Moqun told Lu Guanghong, "Uncle, I really think my sister is better than Leng Qingqiu, and even better than Xu Xuejiao! And she and Chengwen grew up together. My sister still cares about him."

Lu Guanghong sighed, "How could I not know? You and your sister are children we've watched grow up, Uncle knows all about it. It's just that they haven't been in contact for these years. We all thought they were over. Plus...this useless Lu Chengwen, he's so close to Leng Qingqiu, oh, we parents can't do anything about it!"

Chen Moqun said, "Now their old feelings are reignited! Just tell my father, let's just settle their marriage."

"I mentioned this to your father." Lu Guanghong sighed, "Your father's temper flared up as soon as I brought it up. He almost flipped out on me. He said that even if all the men in the world died, he wouldn't let his daughter marry my son. Sigh, do you think my son is that bad?"

Chen Moqun said, "My dad is a two-faced person. I'll teach you a trick. Now that my sister lives with you, just let them make babies at your house every day!"

Lu Guanghong and Lu's mother put down their chopsticks. They felt this kid was a bit...smart.

Chen Moqun continued, "Three months later, show that old man the pregnancy test results. See what else he has to say! Doesn't he always say he's a nobleman? You're a nobleman, your daughter is eating at their house, living at their house, and she's about to give birth. You don't want to have a wedding?"

Lu Guanghong cautiously asked, "Has your dad...beaten you?"

Chen Moqun had his mouth full of food, "Yes! He said I have a rebellious bone and am a traitor, he's only honest in front of my mom."

Lu Guanghong and Lu's mother nodded together, "Ah, then we're relieved."

...

Chen Mengyun sat on a summer chair, her head slightly lowered, silent.

Lu Chengwen was also awkward, not knowing what to say.

Chen Mengyun broke the silence first, raising her head, "Are you thirsty?"

"Huh?"

"If you're thirsty, I'll go make you some tea."

"Ah, no need. Just now...I'm sorry."

Chen Mengyun smiled, "It's okay. I know you've been busy and under a lot of pressure recently. I don't know what you're thinking, but the slum project needs to be fully expanded, and the cost will be huge. I'll try my best to help you raise funds, but just relying on our two families' cash, I'm afraid we can't handle this project. You need to start planning early."

Lu Chengwen nodded, "You've worked hard these past few days."

"It's not hard."

Chen Mengyun smiled happily. It seemed that hearing Lu Chengwen say "You've worked hard" made everything worthwhile.

"Back then...I was a bit impulsive." Chen Mengyun shyly adjusted her hair. "Actually...it's unreasonable to ask someone like you to stay with one woman forever. Haha, my dad has a lot of women Moqun and Mohuan aren't my mom's biological children."

Lu Chengwen was surprised, "Really?"

Chen Mengyun laughed, "Why would I lie to you? Moqun is the second wife's child, and Mohuan was born to an outside woman. But fortunately, they only wanted money, not people. My dad gave them a sum of money and brought them back. They were raised by my mom since they were little, and they know this is their home."

Lu Chengwen nodded, not knowing what to say.

Chen Mengyun said, "I can too."

"Can do what?"

"Be the woman behind you." Chen Mengyun tentatively reached out her hand, until she held Lu Chengwen's hand, not feeling any resistance or aversion from him, she let out a sigh of relief:

"I won't ask you about your business in the future, you...just...marry me...I...can be like my mom, treat you well."

Lu Chengwen was puzzled, "Your family is a nobleman, your dad's eyes are in the sky. He wouldn't look down on our family, which is a nouveau riche."

Chen Mengyun said, "He couldn't control me when I was a kid, and he can't control me now! As long as I don't dislike you, that's all that matters."

Lu Chengwen looked at Chen Mengyun, "Why? Me, Lu Chengwen? Is it worth it? With your conditions, all the men in the world would love you to the point of madness."

"But I happen to love you to the point of madness. What can I do?" Chen Mengyun laughed, "I was angry with you for these three years. I just couldn't believe that you would abandon me and fall for someone else. But now I've come to terms with it. You weren't born to be a settled person, you always have to make trouble."

"I'm different from you, I like quietness, I like a peaceful life. But I can't use my personality to tie you down, nor can I tie you down. I..."

"Alright, stop it."

Lu Chengwen felt even more guilty.

[Actually, getting married, this kind of gentle and persistent woman, a woman who is good at home and willing to dedicate herself, is really the best choice. If I hadn't been confused back then, maybe we would already have children now.]

[But...do I really deserve this kind of deep love?]

Lu Chengwen's worry was justified.

He had always been thinking about returning to his world. He always felt like he was just a passerby in this world.

Taking a quick tour, if he could survive until the grand finale, he could take his rewards home to see his mom.

But now the problem was complicated.

This book is completely broken!

What is the ending?

Don't know!

How long do I have to survive?

Don't know!

Can I go back in the end?

Don't know!

Everything is unknown.

Is it okay to owe so many emotional debts here? Or is it that I really can't go back, and I'll have to stay here forever?

If it's the latter, then it's easier.

I'll just settle down here as a rich man, and fight to the death with Long Aotian, that bastard. See who's tougher.

But now...

Don't know!

Chen Mengyun could only hear a few thoughts. Many of the core secrets of this world, she couldn't hear. So seeing Lu Chengwen frowning and thinking, she thought he was weighing his options, undecided, and still not satisfied with her.

She mustered her courage, stood up, walked to Lu Chengwen, and sat down gently on his lap.

Lu Chengwen was startled and snapped out of his thoughts.

"Mengyun..."

Chen Mengyun gently put her arms around Lu Chengwen and leaned in to kiss him.

Their lips met.

Chen Mengyun's kiss was soft, tender, slow, and gentle...

Lu Chengwen felt like he was catching a cloud, then it flew away, then he caught it again, then it flew away again...

On the second floor, in the hallway by the entrance, the Lu family, including Chen Moqun, stood with their bowls, looking towards this side.

Chen Moqun nodded, "The dog and the bitch finally ended up together."

After a while, the two slowly separated.

Lu Chengwen and Chen Mengyun parted, looking at her eyes like black gems. Suddenly, he recalled many things from his childhood.

He was wearing shorts, had a scraped knee, and was crying in the garden, helpless. Chen Mengyun, like a big sister, comforted him, blew on his knee, and even hugged him.

When he was a little older, he liked to be mischievous. He tricked her into a dry well and ran away. She cried for a long time before adults found her. But the next day, she came to play with him again.

When he was older, Lu Chengwen tricked her into a corner and insisted on checking her body. Back then, she understood everything, but she blushed and pretended to be naive. He lifted her skirt...

In high school, Lu Chengwen loved playing basketball, swimming, and skiing. Chen Mengyun didn't like sports at all.

When Lu Chengwen went skiing, she fell and cried several times;

When Lu Chengwen went swimming, she followed with a whole group of maids and servants to attend to him.

When Lu Chengwen played basketball, she cheered for him. Whenever Lu Chengwen scored, she jumped up and cheered!

When Lu Chengwen lost, he got angry, and she kept comforting him, like a big sister.

In college, Lu Chengwen started fighting everywhere.

She was worried every day. Every time she saw Lu Chengwen with a bruised face, he was still bragging to others excitedly, saying he had just fought ten people alone. She secretly wiped away tears in her heart, but actually, Lu Chengwen saw it.

Why didn't I cherish her back then?

I don't know what I was thinking back then.

I wanted to try everything, I was curious about everything. My interest in fighting, drinking, picking up girls, and racing completely overshadowed everything else.

I just thought my girlfriend was annoying, always following me, not letting me do this or that.

She was like a nagging mother, chanting the tight spell.

When I got impatient, I would yell at her, and she would cry. But then she would still be like glue, sticking to me.

Young people!

You can't grasp anything, you don't cherish anything.

The better your girlfriend is to you, the more attached she is to you, the more you crave freedom and the more you want to do the things she doesn't let you do.

Lu Chengwen's heart was filled with a mix of emotions, tears welled up in his eyes, and he suddenly realized.

All these years, I've never been truly good to her.

I always took her gentle devotion for granted. It seemed that since I was a child, she was mine, she was following me, and she belonged to me.

Therefore... I didn't think about cherishing her and caring for her.

[I'm such a scum, you're a fool for loving me.]

[Mengyun, I'm sorry.]

Chen Mengyun heard these thoughts, and suddenly only into tears, hugging Lu Chengwen and wouldn't let go, crying uncontrollably.

"I thought...woo woo...you really...woo woo...didn't want me anymore...woo woo, you scared me!"

Lu Chengwen hugged her and patted her back gently, "No, I didn't. I just...I just lost my mind."

"You're so annoying! I hate you! Hate you! Hate you for the rest of my life!"

Lu Chengwen slowly pushed her away, "It's my fault for what happened before, but the situation now has changed, I really...ugh ugh."

Lu's mother frowned, "They're kissing again?"

Lu Guanghong nodded, "My son's ability to charm girls is just like me when I was young."

Lu's mother looked at him sideways, "Really?"

"Ah? Haha, young...na, naive."

Lu Chengwu said, "That's right, I hate Leng Qingqiu! This is my sister-in-law!"

Lu's mother twisted his arm, "She's been spoiling you since you were little, always secretly giving you money to spend, of course, you recognize her as your sister-in-law!"

Chen Fatty wiped his tears, "I'm so moved! No more talking, let them spend the night together tonight!"

As soon as he mentioned this, the Lu family's old couple were in trouble.

This is a bit absurd!

Their house has housed Leng Qingqiu, Xu Xuejiao, and Chen Mengyun one after another.

Which one...is the real one?!

Lu Chengwen, what are you doing? Can you target one and fire?

You're shooting a whole round and knocking them all down!

You've brought back these three daughters from prominent families, what should we do, what should we do?!

You should just stop being CEO, you can live off your charm for the rest of your life!

Lu Chengwen hugged Chen Mengyun, "Mengyun, I...the days ahead will be very dangerous..."

"I'm not afraid."

"You don't know what kind of danger it is."

"I'm not afraid of any danger!"

"You...come back to my place with me first, I have something to tell you."

"Hmm."

Chen Mengyun blushed, thinking that Lu Chengwen was going to take her down tonight. She said softly, "Then...I'll prepare some clothes and stuff."

Lu Chengwen didn't understand, "Okay, hurry up."

At this moment.

Zhuge Xiaohua, one of the four Shadow Girls, was already on her way to assassinate Lu Chengwen. She was seven kilometers away from Lu Chengwen's villa.
