The Gong Family was in trouble, and the person Gong Xueyan could think of was naturally Lu Jinxuan.

She hurriedly rushed to Guan Chao to find Lu Jinxuan.

"Jinxuan." Gong Xueyan took a deep breath and knocked on Lu Jinxuan's door.

After a while, Lu Jinxuan came to open the door. He frowned, possibly from lack of rest, with dark circles under his eyes, and his tone reflected his usual impatience, "What is it?"

"Jinxuan, my dad is in trouble..."

Given the urgency, Gong Xueyan didn't beat around the bush, "Please help him!"

"Oh?" Lu Jinxuan curled his lips, but there was no smile, "You're talking about your dad?"

He glanced at Gong Xueyan with indifference, "Wasn't he reported? Now there's a warrant for his arrest. What do you want me to do? Abuse my authority or pervert the law?"

"..." His line of questioning left Gong Xueyan speechless, her face turning grim as she stammered, "No matter what, we are family! Can't you think of something?"

"Heh."

Lu Jinxuan gave a faint smile, raising his voice to ask, "Family? How are we family? Am I forgetful? Since when did engaged couples become legally recognized family? Gong Xueyan, get it straight, you're you, and I'm me."

She didn't expect him to be so cold, and Gong Xueyan's dignity was shattered.

Seeing him turn to leave, Gong Xueyan couldn't hold back anymore.

"Lu Jinxuan!"

Lu Jinxuan stopped, facing away from her, "Anything else?"

"You..." Gong Xueyan's lips trembled as she blinked, trying hard not to let her tears fall, "How can you treat me like this? I...I'm pregnant with your child, how can you say we're not family?"

A child?

Lu Jinxuan slightly turned his body, his eyes cast down.

"Gong Xueyan, I'm really not heartless. Go find out who the father of this child is!"

"..." Gong Xueyan was stunned, bewildered, "What, what do you mean?"

"Tsk." Lu Jinxuan sneered, "You seem quite smart, yet you don't even know who you had relations with? Or do you know and are just acting in front of me?"

Gong Xueyan felt as if her whole body had been submerged in icy water, piercing her to the bone with every move.

She tried hard to smile, "Jinxuan, I really don't know what you're talking about. That night on the cruise ship, we..."

"Nothing happened."

Lu Jinxuan shook his head, scanning her with certainty, "I didn't touch you."

"..." Gong Xueyan's mind exploded!

She felt terrible!

Almost instinctively, she retorted, "How is that possible? I drugged you, I carried you back to the room, if not you then who? We clearly...ah, that night we were clearly so passionate..."

"Tch!" Lu Jinxuan frowned, clicking his tongue, even a bit disdainful, "Gong Xueyan, you drugged me, that's what you said yourself."

"I..." Gong Xueyan was taken aback, panicked, not expecting to give herself away so easily...

"Jinxuan, listen to my explanation, it's because you were too cold to me, I don't understand what I did wrong, you won't even spare a glance at me, let alone touch me! We're already engaged, isn't that normal?"

"Stop."

Lu Jinxuan impatiently interrupted her, "It really wasn't me! Gong Xueyan, am I, Lu Jinxuan, the kind of person who doesn't dare admit what I've done? I said it wasn't me, so it wasn't me! As for who you were with that night, that's your business!"

"..."

Gong Xueyan's knees weakened, and she collapsed to the ground, shaking her head, "No, it's impossible! How could I be with someone else..."

Lu Jinxuan coldly glanced at her, then mercilessly turned around.

"Ah..." Gong Xueyan clutched her head, screaming, "No! Jinxuan, are you saying this because you don't want this child?"

"..." Lu Jinxuan furrowed his brow, even feeling a bit sympathetic towards her stupidity, "Think what you will, it's your child, you can choose to have it, and then we'll know the truth."

With that said, he turned and walked away without looking back.

"Ah!" Gong Xueyan hugged her head, crying uncontrollably, unable to accept the reality, "Oh my God!"

...

In the study, Lu Jinxuan was talking with Tang Yueze.

Tang Yueze handed an envelope to Lu Jinxuan, "Young master."

"Hmm." Lu Jinxuan glanced at it and took it.

But he didn't open it.

The envelope was meticulously crafted, of course... the wedding invitation of Le Zhengsheng, the only son of the Lezheng Family, couldn't possibly be lacking in elegance. Traditionally used gold-like paper was even upgraded to pure gold plating, exuding a sense of luxury, but also showing how much importance the Lezheng Family placed on this marriage.

"Heh."

Lu Jinxuan pulled at his tie, tossing the invitation onto the table.

"Is everything arranged?"

Tang Yueze nodded, "Yes...but..."

He had a hesitant expression, causing Lu Jinxuan to frown instantly. "What is it? Just say it."

"Young master, are you really going to leave?"

Lu Jinxuan was silent for a moment, "Is there a better choice?"

"..." Tang Yueze was silent, he knew well that given the current situation, it was incredibly difficult for Lu Jinxuan to be with Yu Sangwan.

The Lu Family's background, coupled with Yu Sangwan and Le Zhengsheng's situation, really put the young master in a tough spot.

"Young master." Suddenly, Tang Yueze bowed his head, "I have a request!"

"Speak."

Tang Yueze clenched his jaws, pleading, "Please take me with you!"

"..." Lu Jinxuan was startled, his lips slightly curving up.

He stood up, walked over to Tang Yueze, and patted his shoulder. "Yuezhe, I lost my brother many years ago, to me, you are the same as Yuxuan."

Tang Yueze's eyes turned red, tears welling up, "Young master!"

"Listen to me." Lu Jinxuan shook his head, "Precisely because of this, when I leave, you must stay, my mother, and Fei Xuan, need you to take care of them!"

"..." Tang Yueze lowered his head, wanting to protest but couldn't find the words.

"Young master...will Miss Yu go with you?"

Lu Jinxuan thought for a moment, "I don't know, but I have no choice. If I can only choose one, this time, I must choose her..."

He choked up, his long lashes trembling slightly.

He had already left her once!

Leaving her that time, she ended up with someone else's child, about to marry another man! The consequences were unbearable. He couldn't stand by and do nothing; if things continued like this, they would be separated forever.

His palm rested on his chest, underneath his shirt, was their Walnut Whistle.

Wanwan, I'm coming.

...

"Ah!"

In the deep of night, Yu Sangwan woke from her sleep with a start.

What a terrifying nightmare it was, why was Lu Jinxuan standing before her covered in blood?

Even after a long while, she was still trembling with fear.

"Sigh..." Yu Sangwan lay back down, muttering to herself, "Dreams are always the opposite, Jinxuan will be fine."

She turned over, sighing, "Jinxuan, you must be okay, I...I'm getting married."

The Lezheng Family.

The wedding date was drawing near, high-end dresses and jewelry were delivered together.
