Jamie Qiao took several deep breaths and finally calmed himself down. The words rolled around on his tongue, as if they were dipped in a lot of fine sugar powder, soft and sweet. "I want to know what kind of person I'm marrying."
"For example?"
Jamie Qiao breathed a sigh of relief. He could still communicate normally through the receiver, but for some reason he felt his heart beating uncontrollably when he heard him talking, which made him uneasy.
The cat nestled in his lap. Jamie Qiao placed his hand on its back and whispered, "I don't know anything, height, appearance, or age."
Lucas Lu was stunned for a second, and was shocked by his new wife. He couldn't help but smile and asked, "Does the ring fit?"
Jamie Qiao was slightly stunned, looking at the ring box on the low table, then looked away as if burned, and replied in a low voice: "I haven't tried it yet."
"Try now." Lucas Lu changed his posture and leaned back in his chair, with a cooperation plan at hand. He tapped the folder casually, waiting with rare patience for the sound from the other end to stop.
That soft voice said: "Suitable."
Lucas Lu withdrew his hand and answered his previous question slowly.
"You've already signed the marriage contract and put on the ring, but now you want to ask about your husband's appearance and age." Lucas Lu paused, and as Jamie Qiao swallowed nervously, he finished the sentence, "Mrs. Lu, isn't it a little late?"
Jamie Qiao was stunned by these words, and his cheeks felt hot because of the word "Mrs. Lu". His voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.
"Hmm?" Even though Lucas Lu had excellent hearing, he still couldn't hear clearly, so he lowered his voice unconsciously and said, "Speak louder."
Jamie Qiao was startled by his suddenly lowered voice, and reflexively raised his voice, answering like he was answering a question in class: "I... I forgot."
Lucas Lu was stunned.
forget?
The answer was surprising. He pressed the screen slightly, then reached out and tapped the center of the screen to make it light up again. The soft and tender boy on the screen was still "looking at him" timidly. Along with the thin and soft voice in the receiver, a smell of milk seemed to spread to his nose.
When Jamie Qiao heard his low laugh, he couldn't help but feel nervous, and he was frantically wondering what he was laughing at and whether the question he asked was funny.
Lucas Lu: "Did you ask Cheng's lawyer this question?"
Jamie Qiao didn't answer. Lucas Lu guessed that he was not as smart as ordinary people, so he repeated, "You want to know these things about me, have you asked Lawyer Cheng?"
Jamie Qiao replied somewhat shyly: "I did."
"How did he say?"
Jamie Qiao thought for a moment and said, "Lawyer Cheng said that Mr. Lu is very well-known. If I want to know more about you, there are many stories about you in the financial news. I don't need to bother you."
Lucas Lu made a "hmm" sound, and then lowered his voice to an extremely low level. The breath sound came out from the receiver. Jamie Qiao even felt like there was wind blowing past his ears, making his cochlea itchy.
"So, do you want to read the financial news or do you want to learn it yourself?"
This question made Jamie Qiao dumbfounded. He thought for a long time before he understood what Lucas Lu meant, and then he was frightened by the conclusion.
Can he not have either?
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. The cat was startled and jumped up, knocking the phone down. Coincidentally, one of its paws pressed the end-of-call button and hung up the call.
"Meow~"
Jamie Qiao looked at its innocent face, then glanced at his phone. Aunt Li's voice rang out along with the knock on the door: "Madam, lunch is ready. Do you want to eat now?"
Jamie Qiao hurriedly got up from the ground and went to open the door, but the next second he screamed: "What the hell is that!"
Jamie Qiao followed her gaze and saw his puppet standing on the table, staring straight at the door, which scared Aunt Li.
"Yes...I'm sorry." Jamie Qiao quickly turned around and turned the doll in another direction, then found something to cover it up, and said apologetically: "I scared you."
Aunt Li, still in shock, glanced at the puppet that was covered with a cloth and was almost half a person's height, and smiled awkwardly: "No, it's okay."
It is said that these dolls are psychic. When she took a look at it just now, the eyes looked as alive as if they were alive and reflected light. The carving was exactly like a real person, which made it look even more terrifying.
She heard that many people would worship these things at home, which was very weird.
Lucas Lu had never been hung up on by anyone in his life, but his young wife, whom he had never met, did.
He looked at the call duration of 05:13:21 on the screen and fell into contemplation and slight disbelief for half a second. The timid voice with a sweet milky flavor seemed to still linger in his ears.
He didn't dare to talk to me, but he dared to hang up on me?
interesting.
However, he is so scared just by talking to him. Will he cry out of fear when we meet?
Lucas Lu couldn't help but smile a little, and the malice in his bones spread out a little. He seemed a little impatient to see what kind of omega Nathan Feng had given him.
If you have the courage to marry him, you should be mentally prepared.
"Knock knock."
Lucas Lu put his phone aside and said casually, "Come in."
"Mr. Lu, the lady is here."
Lucas Lu paused while signing, then returned to normal almost immediately, saying calmly, "Let her in."
"Yes." The secretary closed the door and went out. After a while, he brought in a middle-aged woman with exquisite makeup. He stood at the door and respectfully opened it for her.
As soon as Zhou Wanrong came in, she said, "Mr. Lu has grown so powerful now that he doesn't even want to inform his family about such a big event as getting married, right?"
Lucas Lu raised his head from the documents. His eyes, which had been smiling a little because of the soft and sweet voice, suddenly darkened, as if they were suddenly wrapped in a layer of ice.
"If you want to call for justice, I think you have found the wrong person."
When Zhou Wanrong heard this, her expression and voice immediately became sharp, and she said sarcastically: "I'm your mother, how dare you talk to me like this?"
Lucas Lu put down his pen, and did not change his sitting posture. He just placed his fingers on the corner of his forehead and pressed them gently. His sharp eyebrows were still calm, and he looked somewhat captivating.
Now that the Lu family is controlled by Lucas Lu, even the old man dare not look down on them as he did before. She is even more inexplicably afraid of this son.
"What kind of attitude do you want?"
Zhou Wanrong dodged her gaze for a moment, then said, "What kind of person is the Feng family? They are just a bunch of upstarts. Not to mention that he is not Nathan Feng's biological son, even if he is, he is not worthy of a hair of yours! Are you crazy to marry him? Do you really think you can become a phoenix just by flying out of the chicken coop?"
Lucas Lu raised his eyes slightly, looked at her coldly with disgust and sarcasm for a few minutes before calming down a little, "There are many omegas with good family backgrounds and excellent personalities who are suitable for you, why did you marry him! Don't tell me you like..."
"because."
"I'm doing this for your own good. You don't like those delicate omegas. I heard that kid is good for nothing except dancing. He might get lost once he goes out, and he might even cry and wait for you to take him home."
Zhou Wanrong realized after she finished speaking that Lucas Lu had just spoken. She paused and asked him, "What did you just say?"
"The Genetic Administration's documents say that my pheromone compatibility with his is 99%. If I don't marry him, do you think you'll still have a place where you're sitting now?"
Zhou Wanrong was shocked: "What do you mean!"
Lucas Lu did not reveal the fact that Nathan Feng had framed him through the Genetic Management Bureau, but accidentally got involved in this successor election, forcing him to marry Jamie Qiao.
"The old man was anxious to call my eldest brother back. He probably knew he couldn't hold on for much longer." Lucas Lu paused, closed his eyes slightly, and chuckled, "Lu's, hand it back to my eldest brother? I'm sorry, I don't have the habit of making wedding dresses for others."
Zhou Wanrong was wondering why the disabled eldest son was allowed to come back at this time, but after hearing what Lucas Lu said, she suddenly understood.
That year, he was in a car accident and his legs were disabled. The old man was bedridden and it was Lucas Lu who took over the Lu Group in times of crisis.
After going through all the ups and downs, he now has a solid foundation that is almost unshakable, but everyone knows that although he has power, the real controlling shareholder is still the old man.
Zhou Wanrong was the old man's second wife after his first wife passed away.
He has always disliked this son who was born "without permission". Although his business acumen is unmatched, he still cannot accept Zhou Wanrong's design to keep him secretly and threaten to marry into the Lu family.
In contrast, Zhou Wanrong's current life is all due to Lucas Lu's efforts to save the Lu family.
Brandon Zhu once said that he would not allow himself to make mistakes or lose control for even a moment, nor would he allow any accidents to happen in his life. He had to stay rational and calm at all times in order to survive in the Lu family.
---A Lucas Lu like this doesn't seem like a living person with emotions.
To him, feelings are not a help, but a burden.
"Even if you marry him, you are not allowed to mark him. How can such a person be worthy of you." Zhou Wanrong's face turned pale as she digested it for a while, thinking that if Lucas Lu married such a person, it would be of no use to her future life.
He should marry someone of equal social status, so that if he doesn't get a share of the old man's property, he will have a way out.
Lucas Lu stood up from behind the large desk, his eyes were dark and cold, and his voice was also chilling.
"He is my legitimate wife, Mrs. Lu. I can mark him anytime I want."
There were several exquisite dishes on the large white dining table. Jamie Qiao couldn't eat after taking a few bites, so Aunt Li considerately brought him a cup of dessert.
Jamie Qiao thanked him and held the food in his hand without any appetite. His eyes involuntarily fell on the furnishings in the living room and he looked around.
It was very simple, and there were even few things in it. Compared with the magnificent decoration of Uncle Feng's house, this place was simply empty. Although the place was several times larger, there were too few furniture and decorations.
There were a few words on the wall, not written by him. The handwriting was more elegant, not as sharp as his, as if just one look at it could hurt people.
Qing Cang was squatting outside the floor-to-ceiling window. Jamie Qiao was startled and tilted his head. His finger suddenly felt a pain. When he looked again, he saw that it was a goose yellow black phoenix, which pecked at the back of his hand with its sharp beak.
Not afraid of people at all.
Jamie Qiao wanted to touch it out of curiosity, but it flew away as soon as he raised his hand. Aunt Li came in at that moment and said with a smile, "That's what the master raised. Isn't it beautiful?"
Jamie Qiao nodded instinctively, then thought that it was Lucas Lu's bird, so he retracted his fingertips and also retracted his lingering look.
Aunt Li saw that he ate very little and barely touched the dessert in his cup. She sighed and said, "Mr. eats very little too, but he's not as easy to take care of as you are. He's very picky about food. I've taken care of him for so many years, cooking in different ways, but there aren't many dishes he likes."
Aunt Li talked a lot, and Jamie Qiao unconsciously turned his head to follow her figure and listen to her talking about Lucas Lu.
"He has a bad temper, doesn't smile often, and looks very fierce. I introduced so many people to him but he kept getting on my nerves. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I came back to take care of him."
Jamie Qiao spoke for the first time, his voice was not loud, "Is Mr. Lu scary?"
"Hmm?" Aunt Li was stunned and asked without quite hearing: "What did you say?"
