Chapter 2: Chapter 2: The War God Appears, the Antagonist is Going Crazy
The whole room went silent.
What's going on?
What's happening!?
For three years, Lu Chengwen had been pestering Leng Qingqiu like a leech, using every means possible to drive away any man who came near her, all for the sake of having her for himself.
During these three years, whenever Leng Qingqiu mentioned the marriage contract with Lu Chengwen, she would explode, showing a determination to die rather than comply.
Why were they reversed today?
Lu Chengwen didn't want to get married anymore, but Leng Qingqiu agreed.
Lu Chengwen has gone completely mad!
He turned his head, looking at Leng Qingqiu in shock.
His mind saying:
[Sis, what are you doing? Why are you agreeing to get engaged? You're supposed to be Long Aotian's woman! You should be licking Long Aotian's shoes! If you do this, Long Aotian will kill me!]
[That guy is deliberately approaching you, just to play the fool and then reveal his true colors at a critical moment, making you and your family like him.]
[Then you will give yourself to him, your family's property will be his, follow the plot properly!]
Leng Qingqiu looked at Lu Chengwen with a sneer.
Do you want to break off the engagement?
Did you ask me?
You've disgusted me for three years, and now you're saying you want to cut ties and you're so sure that I'll become a bodyguard's woman.
I'm going to make you sick!
I want to see how that Long Aotian is going to take me into his harem!
What's more, being able to suddenly hear Lu Chengwen's inner monologue shocked Leng Qingqiu greatly, and Lu Chengwen seemed to know a lot of strange things.
Although she didn't know what kind of tricks he was playing, for now, making it impossible for him to achieve his goals was the best option.
The two families began to chat enthusiastically, excitedly discussing how the wedding would be held, how their lives would unfold, who would take care of the grandchildren…
Lu Chengwen pulled Leng Qingqiu to the side and said urgently, "Qingqiu, are you not feeling well today?"
Leng Qingqiu snorted, "I think you're the one who's not feeling well."
Lu Chengwen tried to calm himself down. "Alright, alright, let's not argue, it's just this marriage contract, we can't get engaged, we have to change it back."
Leng Qingqiu felt like she had won.
For three years, she had no way to deal with this jerk.
He was shameless, had no dignity, was a complete leech, and would use any underhanded tactic he could.
She was getting sick of him.
Now seeing him sweating anxiously, pacing back and forth, Leng Qingqiu felt extremely satisfied.
Sister is going to make you suffer, you scum!
Lu Chengwen: "Qingqiu, are you just under pressure from our elders... Think about it, am I annoying or not?"
"Annoying."
"Hateful or not?"
"Hateful."
"Disgusting or not?"
"Super disgusting."
"Then why do you still want to be engaged to me?"
"I want to."
Lu Chengwen looked at her in shock, suddenly feeling like he didn't know this woman as well as he thought he did.
By now, the two families had finished their discussion and were excitedly escorting the two of them to the small garden.
Lu Chengwen's mind was in a complete daze.
Standing on the stage with Leng Qingqiu, he was still thinking:
[This is completely screwed! In a few minutes, Long Aotian is going to rush out and break my legs, then snatch Leng Qingqiu away.]
[So this is a tribulation I can't avoid? Even if I know how things will unfold, there's nothing I can do?]
[Leng Qingqiu is acting so strange! Doesn't she find me incredibly annoying? What's going on today?]
Leng Qingqiu narrowed her eyes, listening to Lu Chengwen's thoughts, even more shocked!
This guy, not only can I hear his thoughts, but he also "knows how things will unfold?"
Long Aotian... will he stand up and object?
The emcee said excitedly: "Dear guests, I stand before you on behalf of the Lu and Leng families to announce some exciting news! Lu Chengwen, the eldest son of the Lu family, and Leng Qingqiu, the eldest daughter of the Leng family, will hold their engagement ceremony at the beginning of next month…"
"I object!"
At this moment, a security guard walked out from the crowd, it was the protagonist of the book - Long Aotian.
The emcee glanced at him. "Someone, get this low-level security guard out of here!"
Lu Chengwen's legs turned to jelly at the sight of Long Aotian.
He involuntarily took a step back.
Leng Qingqiu looked at Lu Chengwen, extremely shocked.
He was right!
Long Aotian walked up to the emcee. The emcee tried to push him away but was instead thrown off the stage.
Leng Qingqiu glared at him. "Long Aotian, what are you doing?"
Long Aotian gripped Leng Qingqiu's shoulders. "Qingqiu, please don't worry, I won't allow anyone to force you into marriage. Your destiny should be in your own hands."
To be honest, if things went according to the plot, with Lu Chengwen being shameless, the Lu family putting pressure on her, and her parents willing to facilitate this marriage of convenience… If Long Aotian had stood up for her at this moment, Leng Qingqiu would have been surprised and touched.
This bodyguard had recently shown exceptional skills in an unexpected incident, which indeed caught her attention.
That's why she specifically recruited him to be her bodyguard, and these past few days, her impression of him had indeed been constantly changing and improving.
But with Lu Chengwen's prior mental preparation, the whole thing felt different now.
At this moment, Leng Qingqiu only felt that this guy was deliberately approaching her, scheming to get his hands on her family's assets, sinister and disgusting, even more disgusting than Lu Chengwen!
Leng Qingqiu brushed his hands away. "Long Aotian, you are just my bodyguard, my family matters are none of your business."
"Qingqiu, I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, I'm here today, no one can force you into this marriage."
Lu Chengwen nodded.
[Of course, look how cool you are!]
[You probably have a lot more righteous things to say, right? Go ahead, say it, tell us all about it. As the God of War, you have to let everyone know that you stand on the side of justice.]
[Please, begin your performance!]
Long Aotian turned around, facing all the guests, and said in a clear voice:
"The prestigious four great families of Xuecheng, instead of relying on legitimate business practices to make a profit, are sacrificing a young woman's happiness for a business merger! Don't you have any shame? Do you care about Qingqiu's happiness at all?"
Lu Chengwen applauded Long Aotian from behind.
[Beautiful! Qingqiu, it's your turn, cry for me!]
[He's already said so much, it wouldn't be right for you not to be moved to cry!]
Leng Qingqiu looked at Lu Chengwen, her icy gaze reflecting the burning rage of humiliation.
Seeing Leng Qingqiu's fierce eyes, Lu Chengwen awkwardly dropped his hand, pretending to look elsewhere.
Long Aotian continued: "Uncle Leng, Aunt Leng, Qingqiu is your daughter, can you bear to push her into a pit of fire? Everyone in Xuecheng knows what kind of person Lu Chengwen is, right? Marrying your daughter to such scum, don't you feel any heartache or regret?"
Leng Qingqiu scolded angrily, "My business is none of your concern, you bodyguard! You're fired! Now get out of here."
Long Aotian was also dumbfounded.
Huh!?
How…why…something doesn't seem right?
Things shouldn't be happening like this!
At this moment, voices rose from the surroundings.
"Who the hell is this guy? How can he be so disrespectful?"
"They're holding a celebration here, and he's creating a scene! Looks like a pervert to me, and he dares to have his eyes on Miss Leng?"
"Go look in a mirror, buddy!"
"Ugh, this guy looks so greasy!"
Lu Chengwen was extremely nervous.
[Why are you all shouting so loud? Once the aggro is high enough, he's going to make his move!]
[Everyone calms down!]
At this time, a burly man from the Lu family rushed up and grabbed Long Aotian by the collar. "Punk, today is our Young Master Lu's big day, looking for trouble, are you? See this! Ever seen a fist the size of a sandbag?"
Long Aotian sneered.
A mere mortal, I could end your life with a snap of my fingers.
Long Aotian closed his eyes and raised his head: My first battle to make a name for myself is about to begin!
Glory! Dignity! Beauty!
From this moment on - they're all mine!
Long Aotian took a deep breath and suddenly opened his eyes, an aura of dominance radiating from him. "Since you want to fight, I'll let you know what it means to face a returning God of War! Today, I will… huh!?"
With a thud, the big guy in front of him disappeared.
Looking down, he saw that the big guy had been tackled to the ground by Lu Chengwen.
The big guy struggled to get up and fight Long Aotian, but Lu Chengwen pinned him down tightly, the two of them rolling around in a heap.
"Brother! Calm down! Calm down!" Lu Chengwen quickly tried to pacify him.
He had to, there was no other way!
This was the first offering to the protagonist today, if the protagonist took him out with one move, he would be next.
Lu Chengwen didn't want his legs broken by the protagonist!
Lu Chengwen was on the verge of tears. "Brother, it's not worth it… for my sake…"
The guy was taken aback for a moment. "Young Master Lu, you consider me your brother?"
Lu Chengwen, exhausted from struggling with him, panted, "Yes, brother, for life."
The guy was so moved that tears streamed down his face. "Someone of Young Master Lu's status considers me a brother! Today, I, for you, will take care of this punk!"
Long Aotian shouted excitedly, "Good! Come on then! Bring it on!"
Lu Chengwen pressed the guy down, gritting his teeth. "As my brother, stand down!"
As expected, the guy immediately stopped moving.
Leng Qingqiu shouted angrily, "Long Aotian! Have you had enough? Get out! I said get out!"
Long Aotian was extremely shocked.
"Qingqiu, is the Lu family threatening you? Don't worry, the Lu family is nothing but ants in my eyes."
Leng Qingqiu was so frustrated she felt like she was going to suffer internal injuries.
These lines are so cheesy!
"Long Aotian, you're fired, you can get three months' salary, leave now, I don't want to say another word to you."
Long Aotian "understood."
Qingqiu must be threatened by the Lu family, she doesn't know that I am the returning God of War, and she's afraid that I will be hurt by the Lu family's influence, so she's deliberately pretending to break up with me, sacrificing herself to protect me!
So touching!
My woman is truly incredible!
Not only he but even Lu Chengwen thought the same thing.
He thought to himself in despair:
[Sis! You don't have to protect him like this, I'm a good guy, and I definitely won't cause any trouble for you!]
[I beg you, please leave with him quickly, it's best if I'm not part of the plot anymore, I really can't get involved with you guys!]
Leng Qingqiu looked at Lu Chengwen, who was lying on the ground with a crying security guard still on top of him, and suddenly found him quite comical.
All these years, she had never found any redeeming qualities in this man, but today, his anxious and embarrassed appearance, for some reason, seemed rather funny and endearing.
Leng Qingqiu laughed, a rare occurrence. "Brother Chengwen, get up."
Long Aotian turned to look at Lu Chengwen, his eyes murderous.
Lu Chengwen was startled.
[Damn! Seriously?! He hates me for this too? I didn't do anything!]
At this moment, a large group of security guards rushed over from afar.
"Brothers! Someone is trying to steal our Young Master Lu's woman! Get him!"
A group of people charged over, wielding batons.
Lu Chengwen was stunned.
That guy is a God of War!
You're all just experience points to him, don't cause me any more trouble!
After you guys get beaten up, my chivalrous and compassionate legs won't be spared!
[Heavens! Earth! Is this quest impossible to clear?!]
