Signing In At The Civil Affairs Bureau, I Was Rewarded With A Gorgeous Wife

By noon, Lu's father had arrived at the Ye family's doorstep with Lu Sihua.

Looking at the imposing gate, Lu Sihua let his imagination run wild. First, as the sole heir of the Ye family, Ye Qingqing meant that after marriage, all the Ye family's wealth would be his!

Second, Ye Qingqing was really beautiful, more enchanting than all the women he had played with!

With just these two points, he, a notorious playboy when outside,

was ready to become a well-behaved man.

Ye's father personally came out to greet them; after exchanging pleasantries with Old Lu and noticing Lu Sihua peeking around curiously, he couldn't help but feel a sense of disgust.

Involuntarily, he compared Lu Sihua with Song Yun in his mind and concluded that if Song Yun had been the one to visit today, he would have been extremely happy to welcome him.

"Come in, today your sister-in-law is cooking personally," Mr. Ye said with a smile.

The group entered the villa, and once inside, Lu Sihua immediately spotted Ye Qingqing helping in the kitchen. Gazing at her graceful figure, a fire ignited within him.

Meanwhile, Lu's father and mother were whispering to each other.

"Qingqing is a fine girl. I think this marriage can work out."

"Yes, yes! She's pretty and has a good figure; she'll definitely be able to have a healthy baby boy!"

The two exchanged a look, feeling the time might be right to bring up the marriage proposition to Mr. Ye.

While drinking tea, Lu's father jokingly said to Mr. Ye, "I see Qingqing is not getting any younger, and my boy here is still single. Why don't we let them get to know each other? What do you say, Old Ye?"

"This... I think it's better for the kids to make their own decisions about such matters. Qingqing, you tell us what you think!" Mr. Ye passed the ball to Ye Qingqing.

Ye Qingqing stepped out of the kitchen, looked at Lu Sihua with a lovestruck face, and said without a hint of warmth, "I have no such plans. Not to put too fine a point on it, but Lu Sihua is not worthy of me!"

At these words, Lu's father and mother's faces changed color, as nobody wants their son to be belittled by others.

Mr. Ye then stepped in to lighten the mood, saying that it was almost time for dinner, and led everyone to the dining table.

Mr. Ye took the head seat, with Lu's father sitting opposite him. Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Lu faced each other, and Ye Qingqing and Lu Sihua found themselves face to face as well, although Lu Sihua still gazed at Ye Qingqing with deep affection, while she coolly minded her own business, eating her meal.

"Old Ye, I won't hide it from you, my visit today is with a purpose,"

After three rounds of drinks, Lu's father, slightly inebriated, said while taking advantage of the alcohol's courage, "You know the strength of our Lu family in Magic Capital. I dare say, if our two families joined forces, the Magic Capital will be ours for the taking!"

"I believe that after the marriage alliance, it won't just be in Magic Capital, but in Hua Country and even the entire world, our families will be at the forefront!"

Lu's father spoke with fervent enthusiasm, painting an impressive future for Mr. Ye.

Of course, his calculations were cunning; after all, if Ye Qingqing married into the Lu Family, any children would bear the Lu surname, and decades later, after Mr. and Mrs. Ye pass away, wouldn't all the Ye family wealth end up in the Lu's hands?

This was exactly why Lu's father was relentless in trying to matchmake these two individuals.

It was solely because the position Ye Qingqing occupied was simply too sensitive. Even if it were a sow instead, Lu's father would still insist on his son marrying her.

Upon saying this, Lu Sihua stood up with his wine glass and said, "Uncle Ye, I promise you, if I marry Qingqing, I will definitely treat her well, making her the happiest woman in the world!"

After finishing his vow, he tilted his head back and downed a glass of red wine.

Lu Sihua was feeling extremely agitated at this moment. His father had first clarified the stakes and he had further fanned the flames. To him, this deal was as good as eighty percent sealed!

Looking at Ye Qingqing's celestial beauty, Lu Sihua embarrassingly found himself reacting.

It wasn't that he was inhuman, it was simply that Qingqing was a goddess!

However, when Ye Qingqing sensed the lecherous look in Lu Sihua's eyes, she was very angry.

Standing up displeased, she said, "Uncle Lu, I don't think so. Now that we are both prominent families, if we want to go further, we should do more good deeds and build up our social reputation. Those top-tier families weren't built merely on money!"

"So, there's no need to bring up this matchmaking anymore. I won't agree to it!"

Upon these words, the atmosphere gradually quieted down.

Lu Sihua's face turned dark as he looked at Ye Qingqing, but he didn't speak. In his mind, he had already slapped her hundreds of times.

What a little bitch, daring to reject his advances; she was completely overestimating herself! Did she think just because she was pretty, she could do whatever she wanted?

"This... we will discuss this later, discuss this later," Father Ye stepped in to smooth things over.

Then he picked up his wine glass and clinked it with Father Lu.

Mother Lu still wanted to say something, but Father Lu squeezed her hand, and in the end, she opened her mouth but said nothing.

"Hehe, times have indeed changed. When we were young, wasn't marriage arranged by our parents? I didn't even see Si Hua's mother until our wedding night," Father Lu seemed to be reminiscing.

"These days, young people need to date first, then talk about marriage. I was too anxious. I'm sorry, Old Ye. I apologize to you," after saying this, Father Lu downed a full glass of white wine and continued, "How about this, let's not talk about marriage for now. Can we start as friends at least? Tomorrow, let Si Hua and Qingqing go to the amusement park together to cultivate some affection.

If it still doesn't work out, I won't bring it up again."

Father Lu had said what was needed and done what was needed, and you, Old Ye, even if you're the richest man in Magic Capital, should give me some face, right?

Besides, it's just a day out, not getting married tomorrow. If you refuse now, that would be rather impolite.

One could say Father Lu's move was very cunning, hitting right at the key point, and not at all abrupt.

Father Ye was a bit troubled and sighed, "Qingqing, how about tomorrow..."

"I'm not available!"

Father Ye had not even finished speaking before he was interrupted by Ye Qingqing.

Standing up, Ye Qingqing said, "Uncle Lu, let me put it this way, Si Hua and I have no fate or fortune in this lifetime. It's impossible for us to be together. You and Auntie would be better off spending your time looking at other girls."

Ye Qingqing was a girl with a strong sense of loyalty. Now that she was married to Song Yun, it was impossible for her to go out with another man!

Ye Qingqing's words ultimately ignited the anger of the Lu Family.

Father Lu finished his drink, slamming the glass down hard on the table.

Even Father Ye was full of bewilderment—what had gotten into his daughter?

Anyone with clear sight could tell that this was giving each side a chance to back down gracefully. Couldn't she just go out briefly tomorrow and then refuse afterwards?

"Qingqing, don't be ridiculous. It's just a day out to unwind, why make things awkward for everyone?" Father Ye said with a furrowed brow.
