Arc 2.11 : Who Is The Protagonist

—

“No, I must go!” After hesitating for a few seconds, Lu Ning made a decision immediately with a firm attitude.

“But your stomach…” Qu Hui said with some worry.

“There are still ten days before the due date, and it will only take two or three days to go to the engagement banquet. As long as we are careful on the road, there will be no problem.” Lu Ning touched his belly and said, “This child has always been very well-behaved, he will definitely be able to connect with me, understand how important this opportunity is for me, and will obediently wait until the due date to be born.”

Lu Changxiao and Qu Hui looked at Lu Ning’s resolute expression, and after looking at each other, they hesitated whether to continue to persuade him.

“Dad, Mom, you don’t need to persuade me anymore.” Lu Ning saw what they were thinking and said, “The fiancée of the heir to the Du family, invited our  two families to the engagement banquet together because she likes the clothes I designed. Wouldn’t it be too rude to not be there? As long as I seize this opportunity and become good friends with the future young lady of the Du family, who would dare to not give our family face in this business circle in the future? Ye family’s company, the Du family only needs to move their little finger to solved them. If I miss this opportunity to make friends with her, who knows when the next opportunity will be?”

Qu Hui was persuaded immediately, she turned her head to look at Lu Changxiao and said, “I think what Xiaoning said makes sense, people only invited our two family for his sake, it’s really not good if he doesn’t go, just let him go ba.

Lu Changxiao also felt that if he could take advantage of this opportunity to have a relationship with the Du family1Raw text 陆家(Lù jiā); Lu family. I assume this is a typos for 杜家(Dù jiā), it might be able to solve their company’s current predicament. It would be a shame to miss this opportunity, so he agreed without much thought.

The Lu family happily prepared. Just in case, they brought everything they could bring.

He Xu’s parents did not expected that they would still have the opportunity to attend the engagement banquet of the heirs of the Du family. They thought that there would definitely be a lot of high-profile people come to attend, and they would also be able to make friends and get to know them in passing, and they were all also begin to prepared happily.

Early the next morning, the two families drove to the seaside pier. After arriving at the pier, Qu Hui and He Xu carefully helped Lu Ning, and the two families boarded the Du family’s ship together.

After entering the suite for the two families, Qu Hui poured water for Lu Ning and said, “If it wasn’t for our Lu Ning this time, how could your He family be qualified to attend the engagement banquet of the heirs of the Du family? I won’t mention how much limelight you were in because of Lu Ning in the past, I just hope you can remember how good he is now and treat him better in the future.”

He Minjie and Yu Fenglian’s originally happy smiles stiffened, and the excitement in their hearts were also lessened by Qu Hui’s words.

“Just stop talking ba.” Lu Changxiao said as he looked at Qu Hui.

“Why can’t I say it, which one of my words is not the truth?” Qu Hui glared at him and said, “Since it is the truth, why don’t let people said it? If it wasn’t for our family’s Lu Ning’s ability, that the clothes he designed make the future young lady of the Du family likes it very much, the matter of going to attend the engagement banquet of the Du family’s heir, is something that can’t be ask for. After our Lu Ning and the future young madam of the Du family become friends, the first one we are going to solve is the Ye family, and as for the second one, it depends on our mood.”

Although He Minjie and Yu Fenglian felt a little uncomfortable because of Qu Hui’s words, they could only hold back their words.

“Would you like to go to the room to lie down for a while?” He Xu looked at Lu Ning and said, “There are still two hours before the ship sails, and it will be three or four hours away from the island.”

“Okay.” Lu Ning nodded, then walked into the room with He Xu’s help.

He Minjie and his wife were too lazy to listen to Qu Hui’s2 Raw 于凤莲(Yú fèng lián). Typo again bcoz YF is He Xu’s mother. It should be LN’s mother, QH that HX’s parent try to avoid eccentric words, so they chose a room and went in to rest.

Four hours later, the cruise ship arrived at the Du family’s private island, and the Du family had arranged a lot of cars to wait for the guests.

After all the guests have been arranged, because the banquet does not start until the evening, there were some people rest in their rooms, and some people go for a walk on the beach by the sea. There were also swimming pools and gardens on the island, which were also open to the guests.

Lu Ning slept for four hours on the cruise ship, he was completely awake after arriving on the island, and wanted to go for a walk on the beach. So Lu Changxiao3Raw 叶隆; Ye Long. Typo again. At first I thought it was HX’s parent that accompany them, but the next paragraph said otherwise. and his wife and He Xu went with him.

“The plants on this island are really good.” Qu Hui looked at the beautiful flowers and plants and said, “The air is also very good, there is no salty smell like the seaside, and it has the fragrance of plants.”

“Yeah.” Lu Ning nodded and said enviously, “If only our family could also buy an island in the future.”

“It’s not as good as before.” Lu Changxiao said, “Even if you have money, you can’t buy a private island anymore.”

“When you become friends with the future young lady of the Du family, you can come to play often in the future.” Qu Hui said.

Ye Long and his wife had just finished afternoon tea in the garden and were about to go back to their room to rest when they met Lu Ning and the others who were going to the beach.

“You, why are you here?” Qu Hui looked at Ye Long and Lin Yuesi in surprise, Lu Ning and He Xu were also stunned.

“You guys can all come, why can’t we be here?” Lin Yuesi thought to herself, isn’t it more justifiable that we come to our son’s engagement banquet than you?

“You, are you invited by the Du family?” Qu Hui asked as she looked at them.

“Whoever invited us, what does it have to do with you.” Lin Yuesi gave Qu Hui an eye rolled, and then continued to walked with Ye Long.

Ye Long and Lin Yuesi came with Ye You and Du Yao. They have been living on the island for several days. Even if they don’t happen to meet now, they will definitely meet when the engagement banquet starts in the evening.

“Why are they here too?” Qu Hui said with a surprised and puzzled expression, “What does the Ye family have to do with the Du family, how could they have also received an invitation to attend the engagement banquet? We didn’t see them there when we were getting off the cruise ship.”

Lu Changxiao thought for a while and said, “The future young lady of the Du family invited us because she liked the clothes designed by Lu Ning. Maybe she also liked the clothes designed by Ye You, so she also invited people from the Ye family.”

“This… how could this be?” Qu Hui said anxiously, “Then Ye You is here too?”

He Xu felt a little excited when he heard that Ye You might also be here. He hadn’t seen Ye You for a few months. If he could take this opportunity to meet him, he felt it was also good.

“I’m not going for a walk anymore, let’s go back to the room.” After Lu Ning knew that Ye You might also be here, he didn’t have the relaxed mood to go for a walk. Now he just wanted to go back to his room and think about countermeasures.

At the moment, Ye You was soaking in the terrace swimming pool on the terrace outside his room with Du Yao.

“Today, all the guests are here, and all the protagonists of the show are here. Although this is our engagement banquet, I don’t mind being robbed of the limelight by them.” Ye You rested his head on Du Yao’s shoulder, smiled and said: “I think I should also thank them, in order to celebrate our engagement, they specially came to present this good show.”

“We even gave up the position of the protagonist of the engagement banquet. After thinking about it, I feel that it is still a bit of a disadvantage.” Du Yao held Ye You and his lips moved against his cheek.

“What else do you want?” Ye You raised his head and glared at him, he said, “My back has been sore and I can’t even walk properly. My parents can see that my walking is not right, they asked me what was wrong, I was embarrassed to tell the truth at all, I could only say that I was too tired for the engagement banquet, do you know how embarrassing I was at that time?”

“You’re also not lying, in fact you’re really tired because of the engagement banquet.” Du Yao kissed Ye You’s slightly raised lips.

“What am I busy with?” Ye You said angrily: “I didn’t worry about the engagement party at all, I was being busy in bed with you.”

“It’s not just busy on the bed, aren’t we still busy in the pool now?” Du Yao said as he looked at him, then moved his waist.

“You…” Ye You was so angry that he opened his mouth and took a bite on his shoulder, but as soon as Du Yao moved, he couldn’t help but opened his mouth.

………………………………………………

Ye You was lying on the edge of the pool, squinting at the sunset while looking at the distance, and said weakly: “Don’t start again, the evening banquet will start, are you going to let me attend the engagement party with a trembling feet?”

“Let me massage it for you?” Du Yao asked in his ear while holding Ye You from the back.

Ye You turned around, put his arms around Du Yao’s neck and said, “Take me to bed, I’m going to sleep for a while, and after two hours, I’ll get enough energy to get up for the engagement banquet, and by the way, watch the good show that I’ve been looking forward to for a long time.”

Du Yao walked out of the pool with Ye You in his arms, took a towel to dry the two of them, and then walked into the bedroom with Ye You in his arms.

After lying down on the bed, Du Yao shook off the quilt and put it over the two of them, then hugged Ye You to slept together.

While Ye You was sleeping soundly in Du Yao’s arms, the night was gradually falling, and the guests, dressed in formal suits and formal attire, walked into the splendid banquet hall one after another.

The guests who were familiar with each other gathered together to chat, laugh and talk, and then began to discuss and speculate on what kind of person the fiancée of the heir to the Du family would be.

“I really didn’t hear the rumors at all, it’s too mysterious.”

“Yes, not only no one knows the family background, just the character and appearance, there is even no way to know, which family has such a good fortune and can have marriage connection with the Du family ne?”

“I had guessed several families before, but now it seems that none of them are. Could it be a foreigner?”

“I think it’s possible. Didn’t the heir to the Du family come back to China after spending many years abroad? This time, he got engaged in less than a year. It must have been when he was abroad that he had a partner, and then brought back together.”

“Those who are thinking of marrying into the Du family, don’t know how upset they are now.”

“Anyway, it’s definitely not a local, otherwise it’s impossible to have no rumors at all. I really want to see what kind of fairy-like character is taken in fancy by the heir of the Du family.”

“Don’t worry, isn’t it almost time? You can see it soon.”

Very short chapter again. I should feel relieved, but what’s with this disappointed feeling?! _(: 」∠)_

See you next chapter! ┬┴┬┴┤･ω･)ﾉ
