Flirt around when discussing the wedding arrangements.

The Jiangcheng police were highly efficient. Lu Han had just left the police station in the morning, and by the afternoon, an announcement was made.

The gist of it was that both parties had resolved their conflicts and reached a reconciliation. Coupled with several new hot topics emerging, public attention quickly shifted away.

Lu Han actually guessed that those new trending topics were likely orchestrated by Old Deng to divert public attention. However, since the situation had calmed down, it was good news for him.

Before he knew it, it was Friday evening.

Two flashy luxury cars parked in front of the Chanson Hotel.

Lu Han jumped out of his newly purchased Mercedes-Maybach, dressed in a custom-tailored suit, looking handsome and immediately attracting many admiring glances.

Lu Xue followed, having specially dressed up for the occasion. She wore a white gown and crystal high heels, showcasing her elegant figure.

Lu Han sniffed and said somewhat helplessly, "You insisted on riding in my car, now you've picked up the cigarette smell."

"It doesn't matter," she replied nonchalantly, "I'm not the main focus today anyway."

The girl naturally looped her arm through Lu Han's and continued, "Dad is so serious, and Lu Ming is so annoying. Being with you is the most comfortable!"

"Lu Ming would be furious if he heard you say that," Lu Han commented, but inwardly he felt pleased, especially when Lu Ming glanced over at them. He subtly placed his arm around Lu Xue's slender waist.

She had no excess fat, and the feel was quite pleasant. However, he wasn't trying to take advantage of her; he was doing it purely to provoke Lu Ming.

Lu Xue didn't expect such boldness from her brother and blushed slightly, but instead of pushing him away, she moved closer.

Lu Ming's eyes narrowed momentarily but quickly shifted his gaze elsewhere.

Lu Zhenxin also noticed the closeness between the siblings and displayed a thoughtful expression, though it was unclear what he was thinking.

As they rode the elevator upstairs, Lu Xue leaned close to Lu Han and whispered, "Brother, this hotel is also part of our family's business. Later, I'll inform the manager so you can bring friends here whenever you want."

Lu Han nodded without saying anything.

Compared to Lu Ming's indifferent attitude, Lu Xue seemed to consider Lu Han's needs in everything.

Lu Han recalled how, to make it easier for him to smoke, the girl even put an ashtray in her own car. It was somewhat childish but also touching. Compared to his superficiality, she appeared more genuine.

The family of four entered a large private room reserved for them. Su Qingli and her parents were already waiting inside.

"Old Su, sorry we're late," Lu Zhenxin greeted politely, though he was surprised. They were nearly an hour early from the scheduled time.

"You're not late; we came early," Su Qiuchao chuckled.

When discussing marriage, it was customary for the groom's family to wait for the bride's family as a sign of respect. But how could he dare let Lu Zhenxin wait? So, he arrived early.

It wasn't much earlier, only about ten minutes ahead.

"Old Su mentioned you two haven't seen each other in a while, especially now that you're becoming in-laws. He kept mentioning you on the way here," Xie Qingwan added with a smile, appearing very virtuous.

Su Qingli couldn't help but feel a bit emotional. Her parents were usually proud people. If not for the difficulties facing the Su Group, they wouldn't have lowered themselves like this.

After the pleasantries, everyone sat down. Lu Zhenxin naturally took the seat of honor.

Su Qiuchao and Xie Qingwan sat on his left side.

The seat on his right should have been for Lu Han, but he deliberately left it empty.

Facing everyone's puzzled looks, Lu Han calmly explained, "This seat is for my mother."

If his mother were still alive, she would be delighted that he was getting married. Though, this marriage was merely nominal.

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhenxin looked somber, and tears welled up in Lu Xue's eyes, while Lu Ming remained expressionless.

Su Qiuchao and Xie Qingwan understood and showed appreciation in their gazes towards Lu Han.

If they had any reservations about entrusting their daughter to him, those doubts vanished completely.

Generally, a filial child, no matter how flawed, isn't too bad. Especially given the excellent first impression Lu Han had made.

However, this made the atmosphere somewhat somber.

"Cough, cough, Qingli, bring the wine," Su Qiuchao felt the need to break the tension. "Old Lu, I'm happy today and brought a thirty-year-old Moutai. How about we drink this?"

As he spoke, his daughter handed him the box, and he opened it, taking out a bottle and passing it to Lu Zhenxin.

"Really? I must give it a try," Lu Zhenxin smiled, accepting the bottle, knowing Su Qiuchao was trying to lighten the mood.

Just then, Lu Han's phone buzzed with a WeChat notification. He checked it and saw it was from Chu Ruoyan.

What does this woman want now?

Lu Han frowned slightly, opening the chat to find a revealing photo.

Chu Ruoyan had taken a mirror selfie, covering her face with her phone, but her pose was extremely seductive and sexy. She wore only a black lace lingerie set, exposing much of her skin, with only the intimate areas partially hidden.

What was this? Was she trying to seduce him?

Lu Han found it rather exasperating. In recent days, Chu Ruoyan had been sending him regular messages, mostly normal stuff like reminding him to eat on time or dress warmly. This was unexpectedly bold.

But he had to admit, Chu Ruoyan had a great figure. Her chest was full and round, and her legs appeared extra long due to the high heels.

"What are you looking at?" 

At that moment, Su Qingli returned to her seat. Even though she wanted to keep some distance from Lu Han, today being the day they discussed their wedding, she had to sit next to him.

Asking this, she glanced over and immediately became angry.

You dog, today is supposed to be about our wedding plans, and you're flirting with another woman?

Even with a prenup, this was disrespectful. What do you take me for?

"It's from Chu Ruoyan," Lu Han explained, putting away his phone, then added softly, "But if you wore what she has on, you'd be even sexier."

"Why don't you just die?" Su Qingli retorted, both embarrassed and angry. "I won't wear something like that in front of you. Don't even think about it!"

"Heh, Chu Ruoyan never used to act like this either," Lu Han joked, placing his hand on Su Qingli's leg.

Startled, Su Qingli quickly removed his hand, nervously scanning the surroundings to ensure no one noticed. Relieved, she sighed.

"She's trying to seduce you, and you're touching me?" Su Qingli glared at Lu Han, feeling deeply uncomfortable and insulted.

"Can I interpret this as jealousy?" Lu Han laughed. "Does that mean if no other women flirt with me, I can touch you anytime?"
