Dressed as a Man, I Became Tycoon's Sweetheart novel Chapter 841

Chapter 841: Chapter 842: Overprotective Brother

Back then, Lu’s had not yet moved abroad, and their reputation in the Imperial Capital was very prominent. With a foundation rooted in an Ancient Martial Arts Family for hundreds of years, even regular wealthy families couldn’t compare.

Old Master Lu trained a mysterious and powerful Ancient Martial force, with each member possessing Ultimate skills and superior martial arts. It’s said they could enter and exit places without being seen.

"Wanwan and I were at the end of our rope, desperate and with no options left, we had to seek help at Lu’s doorstep. We thought a distinguished family like theirs would definitely refuse to help us, but unexpectedly, Old Master Lu, whom we didn’t know at all, agreed readily. He even dispatched his most prized force, which successfully rescued Jun Cheng.

When they returned, two Ancient Martial Disciples were wounded from gunshots.

Although many years have passed, recalling that scene remains vivid, especially when they returned Jun Cheng unharmed into the hands of your mother and me, we were truly overwhelmed with tears and gratitude. Yet, Old Master Lu, with great dignity, refused any monetary compensation and proposed a marriage alliance instead. At that time, your mother and I, filled with gratitude, didn’t think much and agreed.

Now that Lu Family has come with a proposal, how do you expect us to go back on our word? Back then, if not for Lu’s, Jun Cheng would have been in trouble, and your mother and I wouldn’t have survived, nor would there be the two of you."

Ye Zhuoxuan finished speaking, and Ye Shaowen felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him, extinguishing his anger, replaced by deep shock.

So it was Lu Family who saved my eldest brother.

So it was them who promised first.

But...

Ye Xian was also stunned.

What the heck? How come there’s this messed-up hidden plot? This wasn’t in the original work! Even if her memory is bad, there’s no way she’d forget such an important scene. If it were there... did the supporting actress bring her own funding to add scenes for herself?

No way, for the drama she signed up, the agent would have screened it beforehand. Such a situation wouldn’t occur, and moreover...

Wait!

Ye Xian silently calculated in her heart that by this point in the story, in the original work, ’Ye Xian’ should have been killed by Jiang Wanze, right?

So her plot spoiler hook... is gone!

Ye Xian suddenly panicked.

In the hall, Xia Hewan was a bit worried to see her husband and children not come out for a long time.

"Young Master Lu, I’m sorry for the delay, please have some tea first, I’ll go take a look."

Lu Cen nodded, "Alright, Auntie, no need to be so polite."

Under the crystal chandelier, only the servants and he, sipping tea alone, were left. Besides being extremely pleased at discovering Ye Xian is a woman, what was on his mind was the expression of Eldest Young Master Ye and Second Young Master.

They seemed not to like him much or perhaps held some hostility.

But it’s understandable; if he had a younger sister who was being coveted, he wouldn’t be willing either.

Everything requires strategic retreat; hastiness often leads to failure. Beautiful things are always hard to obtain.

He has patience, and Ye Xian is worth him taking it step by step.

Xia Hewan pushed open the study door and heard her eldest son say, "I understand now. Since this matter started because of me, I will resolve it."

Ye Zhuoxuan, "Jun Cheng, Dad doesn’t blame you for this. There’s no one to blame really; blame those kidnappers back then, blame the twists of fate."

"Big brother, what are you planning to do?"

Ye Xian curiously looked at him.

"Jun Cheng!"

Lu Cen was also slightly moved inside, unexpected that Ye Family’s eldest brother could go to such lengths for his younger sister, seems he underestimated the dignity of Ye’s family, and also underestimated the difficulty of marrying Ye Xian.

Thinking this, he smiled, "Eldest Young Master is overpraising us; saving lives is our Ancient Martial Sect’s honor, especially someone as outstanding as you, contributing to society, bringing glory to the country, Lu’s family couldn’t be happier, why would we want your life?"

Ye Shaowen: "Then what about wealth? As long as Lu’s family asks, even if it means losing everything, going into debt, I won’t miss a single cent!"

"Lu’s family didn’t want a single penny back then, let alone now."

"Then... though there is a marriage agreement before, it’s true that Young Master Lu and I are strangers, Young Master Lu wouldn’t like me, would he?"

Ye Xian looked at him, hopeful.

Lu Cen met her gaze and sheepishly avoided it.

... Yes.

From the very first meeting, her brave figure at the horse racing ground was deeply etched in his heart. After returning home, it haunted him endlessly, dreaming of seeing her again. Someone who never chased celebrities started following entertainment gossip, all about her. This meeting stirred his emotions, further confirming his feelings.

This is a heaven-sent match.

Ye Xian watched him slightly lower his head, "???" What is this? Could he be forced by his family to the extent of not being able to resist? Fight back, young man, you seem iron-willed, with a strong character, could you actually be a pampered boy?

Ye Zhuoxuan: "Xianxian, mind your manners."

Ye Xian: "I..." have been quite mindful, why does talking to him have to be in such elaborate and cryptic language, even top-notch wealthy families like Bo’s don’t have so many rules.
