Chapter 148 Doesn't your older brother have any pride?
[The future sister-in-law and brother went to pick up a can of cola at the same time. They were so close, their heads were almost touching! The brother clearly wanted to kiss them! Their heads got closer and closer...]
Just when they were about to kiss, the older brother chickened out! He actually picked up a slipper, slapped it behind his future sister-in-law, and said, "Look, there's a spider!"
[Actually, there was no spider at all; it was just my brother's excuse. If he had been braver that time, he might have already won the heart of his sweetheart by now, instead of riding around in a stroller like that...]
Lu Yunchen gritted his teeth, and in an instant, the seven colors of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple flashed across his face. Fifth sister! You really shouldn't expose your eldest brother's secrets anymore!
Doesn't your older brother have any pride?!
Li Manrong quickly withdrew her hand, looking as if she had touched a hot potato.
Her heart was pounding. Yun Chen... he actually had feelings for her too?
She always thought that she was the only one in love with this relationship, but she never expected...
"Yunchen, I've taught you since you were little that you have to work hard to get what you want and desire. You must remember this!" Old Master Lu said meaningfully.
Mu Linglan then looked at Li Manrong again and tentatively asked, "Manrong, how did you feel when you were with Yun Chen? Was the atmosphere alright?"
If she hadn't overheard those thoughts, she could have calmed down and answered Mu Linglan's question properly. But the problem was, she had heard them, and she now knew what feelings Lu Yunchen had for her.
Faced with these questions, Li Manrong couldn't help but feel a little agitated.
Suppressing her emotions, Li Manrong still tried her best to answer Mu Linglan's question, "Well... it's quite relaxing. There's no pressure when I'm with him, and I can be myself."
As Li Manrong spoke, Lu Yunchen's gaze kept drifting towards her. When his eyes met her blushing face, his throat bobbed a few times, and a sudden surge of impulse rose in his heart.
Some things can only be said with this kind of drive; once that drive wears off, he'll have to go back to being a coward.
A large hand suddenly grabbed her fair and delicate hands, the burning sensation bringing her back to her senses. She was about to ask "What's wrong?" when she was pulled up the next moment.
"Manrong, there are some things I want to tell you."
After saying that, Lu Yunchen pulled Li Manrong out in one go. He walked very fast, as if he was in a hurry to do something important.
【Eh, eh, eh? Has the older brother finally figured it out? Is he finally going to confess?】
Lu family: Oh~ so you're going to confess your feelings after all~
Let's go, let's go take a look.
Grandpa Lu walked at the front, and the others followed silently behind, moving step by step towards the outside.
Lu Yining, who was about to stand up, stared blankly at the group of people who were about to walk to the door.
[Wait... are you guys really this enthusiastic about gossiping?]
Not wanting to miss a single detail, Lu Yining quickly followed, slipping in front of Old Master Lu. A group of people squatted in a corner of the flower bushes, watching with great interest the two people standing face to face not far away.
"What...what do you want to tell me?"
Li Manrong secretly glanced at Lu Yunchen, feeling both expectant and nervous. In fact, based on the thoughts she had heard not long ago and the resolute look in the man's eyes, she could roughly guess what he wanted to say to her.
But guessing is one thing, hearing him say it is another.
As long as he didn't say those words, her heart would forever pound on the strings, unable to find peace.
“I…” Lu Yunchen took a deep breath, his eyes filled with undisguised affection as he gazed at Li Manrong. “Manrong, I…I want to tell you…I…”
"What?" Li Manrong tilted her head, her face flushed red, as if it had been brushed with blush.
"I...I want to say...I...I have a plan that I'd like to discuss with you."
Lu Yining: "..."
The rest of the Lu family: "..."
Absolutely amazing!
[My brother is so useless...so embarrassing...so shameful...]
Absolutely!
The Lu family members glared at Lu Yunchen with disdain. You were just a hair's breadth away, only a hair's breadth away! You just had to say those words!
But he just wouldn't say it...
They even made excuses, saying they wanted to discuss a solution...
Sometimes, it's incredibly frustrating to be dealing with someone who's emotionally clueless...
Upon hearing these words, Li Manrong, who was filled with anticipation, felt her nervousness vanish instantly.
"what?"
Did she hear wrongly?
Yun Chen... wasn't he going to confess his feelings to her?
"I said I wanted to discuss a solution with you."
"Uh... okay." Li Manrong scratched her head: "What kind of plan do we need to discuss?"
After the question was asked, Lu Yunchen remained silent for a long time, his eyes darting back and forth between hesitation and determination. Just when Li Manrong thought he wouldn't say anything more, Lu Yunchen closed his eyes briefly, and when he opened them again, he quickly uttered those words.
"Manrong, I like you. Will you be my girlfriend?"
The Lu family members, who had been observing their situation from a distance, looked relieved. That's how it should be!
A real man should be decisive in his words and actions, instead of hesitating and stammering.
"Okay." Li Manrong smiled broadly. Perhaps this was the sentence she had been waiting for. Now that she heard him ask it, she was less nervous. She even had the mind to look at him and added, "I like you too."
I've liked it for a very, very long time...
Upon hearing this, Lu Yunchen was overjoyed. He had been prepared for rejection when he asked the question. He never imagined that the girl he liked also liked him?
He excitedly scooped Li Manrong up in his arms and spun her around, exclaiming, "Manrong likes me too! Hahaha, I have a girlfriend now! I'm finally with Manrong!"
[My brother and sister-in-law are finally together! It wasn't easy! If my brother hadn't said it today, they would have dragged it out for a while longer.]
The Lu family: Luckily we asked, otherwise, if the girl had left later, they would have all grabbed weapons and given that good-for-nothing a good beating...
"Now that everything's settled, let's go back. Stop squatting here spying on these young people dating," said Grandpa Lu.
"Grandpa, then why don't you leave? What are you still doing squatting here?"
Lu Yining looked at the old man Lu, who was saying one thing but meaning another, and pouted.
"Come on, Grandpa, you go first, let's go."
Grandpa Lu clutched his foot and exclaimed, "Ouch! My legs are a little numb from squatting for so long, I can't stand up for now~ My dear granddaughter, why don't you go first?"
