Chapter 1068 - Bantering Their Entire Lifetime

Chapter 1068: Bantering Their Entire Lifetime

Oh my god, I feel like I’m about to faint. Help me stand up… He’s so handsome!

The socialites present all had their eyes on Lu Jinwen. They were almost drooling.
Jun Mosheng looked at Lu Jinwen, instantly recognizing him. Wasn’t he the footman who appeared at the temple a few days ago?

Uncle Lin.
Jun Mosheng walked in front, arriving in front of Lin Zhong as he smiled.
May I know how this mister here is related to Xuanji?

Lin Zhong was shocked for a moment. His initial plan was to have Xuanji marry Jun Mosheng, since the Jun family held absolute power in Karghalik. If Lin Xuanji were to get involved with some other man and have a bad reputation, the marriage between the Jun and Lin families was never going to happen.
Lin Zhong glanced at Lu Jinwen with a grim expression.
Who are you? This is my daughters’ coming of age ceremony, not just anyone can come. Hurry up and get out now!


Hello, President Lin.
Lu Jinwen’s secretary, Ye Shu, walked in front.
Let me introduce you to my sir, Mr Lu, Lu Jinwen.

Mr Lu.
Lu Jinwen.
The entire crowd gasped, even Jun Mosheng’s expression changed hearing that.

Oh god, he is… Mr Lu.


He’s the Mr Lu who took away the 200 million dollars in two days!
…
Jun Mosheng pursed his lips into a firm line. So this man in front of him was the infamous ‘Mr Lu’. Somehow, the footman of the Lin family had become ‘Mr Lu’, who caused an upheaval in the financial market in only two days.
The young masters present were all dumbfounded. They had expected Mr Lu to be some man in his 40s or 50s who had a big beer gut. However, Lu Jinwen was contrary to their expectations, being so handsome with such a tall build and a strong and domineering aura.
These young masters weren’t worth a cent when compared to him.
Lin Zhong was stunned. So this man was Mr Lu.

I don’t care who you are, this doesn’t have anything to do with the Lin family. Leave right away.

Lin Zhong was about to chase the man out, since he was a hot potato. He didn’t have any strong background or connections at all. That meant he just couldn’t compare with the son of an established family, like Jun Mosheng.
All gazes were on Lu Jinwen, but he wasn’t bothered at all. He turned his head to look at Lin Xuanji.
Lin Xuanji was only 18 years old, she was clueless about their affairs but she knew for a fact that she had been besieged. She appeared somewhat worried, it was written all over her face.
Lu Jinwen could see her worries just by taking one glance at her. She was worried about him.
The corners of his lips quirked up, stretching out his arm to pull her delicate hand over to hold it.
Xuanji, don’t be afraid. Tell your father now, tell everyone, who am I to you?

What?
Lin Xuanji was perplexed, she didn’t understand him at all.
How was she even related to him?
Lu Jinwen smiled even more brightly, his deep voice sounded doting.
Xuanji, didn’t we agree on it already? You would announce that you are my fiancée on the day of your coming of age ceremony.

What?! Fiancée?!

Once he said those words, the crowd became a chaotic mess.
The second miss of the Lin family had pledged to marry a man without permission from her father!
Stunned, Lin Xuanji herself took a few moments to register those words. She quickly spoke up,
Lu Jinwen, y–

You’re making a baseless claim!

What?
Lu Jinwen interrupted her,
Remember just two days ago, didn’t we kiss?


…

Her lashes fluttered, Lin Xuanji couldn’t say a word.
They… did kiss, but he had done it forcibly. He had taken advantage of her!
With so many people present, Lin Xuanji felt shy, she just couldn’t have such a huge confrontation with him publicly. Her face flushed red and she bit down on her lower lip, glaring at him with lustrous eyes.
Lu Jinwen’s life motto, if you wanted to have something, you had to take action first and work for it with everything you had.
So what if she had a promise with Jun Mosheng this lifetime? With him here, he was going to make it become an empty promise.
Silence meant consent.
Lin Xuanji’s expression already told everyone present the answer. That she had kissed the man, that she had really pledged to marry him.
She even wore the Newbutty gown that he had gifted her, she just couldn’t rebut it anymore.

So the second miss of the Lin family has someone she fancies already.


I originally thought that the Jun and Lin families would have a marriage, but it turns out Second Miss Lin fancies Mr Lu.
…
Everyone felt that it was such a sham.
Jun Mosheng pursed his lips, feeling a wave of disappointment. So it turned out she was already someone else’s fiancée.
Lin Zhong was the most confused one. This coming of age ceremony was specially held to bring Xuanji and Jun Mosheng together but now it had suddenly become Xuanji and Lu Jinwen’s engagement ceremony.
His precious cash cow had been coaxed away by this man! How did this even happen?
With this entire scene today, Xuanji’s reputation had been ruined. Which established family would even want to take her now on?

Mr Lu, my daughter is still naive so she became acquainted with you. But since the olden days, marriages have only been arranged by the parents. I’m going to inform you now, I don’t approve of you dating my daughter. Moreover, what are you going to marry my daughter with?

Lu Jinwen held Lin Xuanji’s hand tightly, his almond-shaped eyes landing on Lin Zhong.
I will marry her with a business empire as my betrothal gift.

I will marry her with my business empire as my betrothal gift.

He said those words so nonchalantly, as though he was just narrating a simple matter. He wasn’t just haughty, he was the epitome of arrogance!
He stood under the lights, in the middle of the crowd as the crystal chandeliers shone on him. The 25 year old man stood there, so dignified as he exuded a maturity that didn’t match with his age, he was just overpowering with his charisma.
The socialites present gasped, taken aback by this man. As they looked at his handsome face, their hearts just couldn’t help but thump wildly. This man was a dragon who was bound to soar, sooner or later.
Jun Mosheng and the young masters present were all stupefied by his words. A business empire as a betrothal gift? The man was too arrogant and precocious.

You… You…
Lin Zhong struggled to even speak clearly.
That’s enough to coax Xuanji but what makes you think I’ll be convinced?

Lu Jinwen remained composed, his eyes slightly crinkled into a smile. It was as though he was implying that Lin Zhong was ignorant as he stated,
Two years later, I will become the most powerful business magnate in the Capital, no one is going to be above me.


…

Everyone was stupefied again hearing his words. Lin Zhong’s face flushed red. He couldn’t see any form of ambitiousness in this man, he was too composed.
Just what kind of crazy powers was he hiding behind that calm and collected demeanor?
He really was… boasting without limits.
Lu Jinwen turned around to look in Lin Xuanji’s eyes.
From now onwards, you’re my fiancée. I’ll love you even more with every day that we are together, I’ll love you forever.

He then leaned forward, planting a kiss on her forehead.
Lin Xuanji’s heart palpitated. She was suddenly reminded of the lot she had gotten at the temple the other day—-You’re making a scene while he just smiles, from now until forever.
