After the Scumbag Alpha Tries to Save the Love-Struck and Flips Over (Quick Transmigration GL) - Chapter 14

Shen Su was slightly taken aback. She had expected to hear these words much later.

It seems Lu Yan is much less patient than she thought.

She quickly recovered, curved her lips, reached out, and slowly stroked the side of Lu Yan’s cheek with her thumb, wiping away the lingering tear stains, her tone gentle: “I know.”

“What about you?” Lu Yan opened her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly. “Are you just being responsible for me?”

“More than that.” Shen Su immediately denied it. She gently placed her hand on the nape of Lu Yan’s neck, slowly stroking it. “I never force myself. If I didn’t like you, I wouldn’t have marked you that day.”

Shen Su was telling the truth. If it weren’t for liking her, she wouldn’t have needed to act on Lu Yan at all.

But it was only “liking.” Once the mission was complete, she would withdraw without hesitation.

Lu Yan hugged Shen Su again, whispering: “Sister, let’s get our marriage certificate sooner.”

“Okay.” Shen Su gently patted Lu Yan’s back.

The two embraced for a long time before Lu Yan reluctantly let go: “Alright, I have to go. I sneaked out, and I can’t let my parents find out. See you tomorrow.”

“See you tomorrow.” Shen Su waved to Lu Yan, watching her walk into the neighborhood before getting back into the car.

Looking up, Shen Su saw a familiar scene.

It was the balcony from her dream.

Shen Su quickly called out to the system: “System, System, is that the balcony from my dream?”

System: Dear, I can’t view your dreams!

Shen Su: “Then is this balcony the balcony of the Lu family’s villa?”

System: Please wait, data loading… Yes, it is! It’s the third-floor balcony of the Lu family’s villa.

As expected.

Shen Su was almost certain of one thing—the Lu Yan of the previous life had jumped from this very balcony.

But the Lu Yan in that dream…

Shen Su asked the system again: “Is there any more detailed information about Lu Yan’s previous life?”

System: That’s all there is! I would have given it to you already if I had it.

Shen Su lowered her eyes, gripping the steering wheel.

Was it really just a dream?

The next day, the Shen and Lu families met in a private room at the restaurant Shen Su had booked in advance.

The Shen family arrived early. They chatted for a while, and when they heard a knock on the door, they all rose to welcome the Lu family.

Shen Su and Lu Yan exchanged glances in the air, their eyes as gooey as pulled maltose.

They quickly retracted their gazes and sat down in their respective seats.

The atmosphere of the conversation between the two families was much more harmonious than Lu Yan had expected.

Lu Yan glanced at her parents, who were all smiles, a look of sarcasm appearing on her lips.

It was just like a business negotiation; she was the commodity sitting there, waiting to be sold at the right price. The love in their eyes was not even as kind as the look in the Shen couple’s eyes.

Ms. Wen also asked with concern about the injury on Lu Yan’s hand. Before Lu Yan could say anything, she heard Lu Father explain: “This child is so careless; she accidentally broke a teacup and hurt herself while picking up the pieces.”

In every word, Lu Father was still blaming Lu Yan.

Ms. Wen couldn’t help but frown upon hearing this. She ignored Lu Father’s words and asked warmly: “Does it still hurt? Did you see a doctor?”

Lu Yan curved her eyebrows, a gentle smile in her eyes, and shook her head: “It doesn’t hurt anymore. I’ve seen a doctor.”

Seeing the topic drift, Lu Father brought up the company business again. Mr. Shen was accommodating and generally kept the conversation going.

Lu Father was very satisfied that his carefully trained Omega could “sell” for such a good price. When the discussion was almost finished, he smiled and said: “Then we have a deal.”

Shen Su’s parents exchanged glances and nodded knowingly.

Lu Father then asked: “When will the wedding be held? When will you get the marriage certificate?”

Mr. Shen coughed lightly and looked at Shen Su: “Let the young people handle these things themselves, especially the wedding…”

“How can this be…” Lu Father was about to say that a wedding is not just the newcomers’ business, but Lu Mother caught sight of the expression on the Shen couple’s faces. Her intuition told her that the conversation was about to break down, so she tugged on Lu Father’s sleeve.

Lu Father paused, immediately reacted, and corrected himself: “Of course, I have no objections.”

Lu Yan glanced at her father indifferently. He was clearly very satisfied with the marriage to the Shen family, yet he hadn’t worn this expression at home.

Lu Yan had long seen through her parents’ selfish faces but couldn’t bring herself to cut them off entirely.

She could only try her best to avoid them. Marrying someone outside their plan was an excellent solution.

However, today’s conversation made her feel a little embarrassed.

Lu Yan barely spoke during the rest of the conversation.

After discussing these matters, the two families walked to the parking lot together, said goodbye with smiles, and left.

Lu Yan initially wanted to send her parents off before leaving, but Lu Father subtly nudged her, signaling her to go with Shen Su.

Lu Yan stood there, looking at her father with a complicated expression.

Shen Su turned around and saw the three of them standing there. The atmosphere was incredibly strange, so she whispered to her parents: “Mom and Dad, I have something to take care of…”

Ms. Wen knowingly waved her hand: “Go on, go on!”

Shen Su nodded and quickly walked towards Lu Yan.

Lu Yan was dressed in a white dress, her long hair naturally flowing down to her waist, fluttering over the lily-of-the-valley embroidered on the skirt, like a fairy fallen to the mortal world.

Shen Su rarely saw Lu Yan wearing clothes of this style.

Very beautiful.

However, Shen Su was dressed quite formally today. She was wearing a suit and black high heels, so her feet hurt slightly when she walked quickly.

But this did not prevent her from striding towards Lu Yan: “Yan Yan.”

Lu Father gently pushed Lu Yan again, his eyes darkening.

Lu Yan sneered. She wasn’t that eager to go with her parents, either. She just didn’t want to expose their family’s internal conflicts in front of the Shen family.

She turned around, and when she saw Shen Su, a smile unconsciously appeared: “Why did you come over?”

Shen Su took Lu Yan’s slightly cold hand and then looked at the Lu couple: “Uncle and Auntie, you go home first. You don’t need to bother taking Yan Yan to school. I’ll take her.”

Lu Father looked at Lu Yan with surprise, but in front of Shen Su, he still wanted to save face and just nodded.

It wasn’t until both parents’ cars had driven out of the parking lot that Lu Yan hugged Shen Su.

“I’m sorry…” Lu Yan said instinctively.

Shen Su’s eyes shifted slightly: “Why are you saying sorry?”

“Did I behave poorly today?” Lu Yan looked up, tears welling up in her eyes. “Will your auntie and uncle dislike me?”

“No, they like you very much.” Shen Su rubbed Lu Yan’s head. “They were just urging me to come and find you!”

“Really?” Lu Yan asked uncertainly.

Shen Su said “Mm”: “Really.”

Lu Yan lowered her head, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: “Will they dislike me because of my parents?”

“What does their liking for you have to do with your parents?” Shen Su knew about Lu Yan’s family situation. She held Lu Yan’s hand, walked to Gate 1 outside the mall, and hailed a taxi to their home.

It was precisely because Lu Yan didn’t receive the love she expected from her parents that she sought to compensate for it through love, only to fall for a “Phoenix Man.”

Now, the “Phoenix Man” had left the stage, and none of that would happen.
