After the two devils ruined a bitchy reporter's career and left with a calm expression, they walked into a large venue inside the hotel. The guests were all from the upper class and this was a chance for CEOs to curry favor from the most powerful people in the whole country. All of the guests took a look at them. The breathtaking couple walked to a table reserved for the Lu and Tang families. They saw Lu Ying and Tang Qingyu talking with serious expressions, so they eavesdropped on their conversation. They weren't able to hear anything before Lu Ying saw them.
"Shen, Lin! You guys are here. I heard about the chaos outside. I'll make sure that news company never comes to the Lu and Tang family events ever again."
"Thank you, Ying!" Lin paused for a second before saying, "Oh my gosh! You're so beautiful in that dress! I never got to see you in it when we went to go get them at the mall."
"Thank you." Lu Ying wore a black dress and it had long sleeves. It went all the way down to her shoes, just like Tang Lin's dress.
A slow song started playing and Lu Shen took this chance to ask Tang Lin to dance.
"But I don't know how," Tang Lin responded.
"It's okay. Just follow my lead." Shen said as he pulled her over to the empty area in the middle of the room.
She put her arms around his shoulders and Lu Shen put his hands on Tang Lin's waist. She followed his footsteps and got the hang of it.
Other guests looked over and joined them. People were asking their partners for a dance.
The young couple looked into each other's eyes and Tang Lin kissed her fiancée's lips. People who didn't know about their engagement were shocked.
Meanwhile, Lu Ying was talking with other female CEOs and suddenly, a chubby, drunk, man walked towards their group and put his hand on Lu Ying's shoulder.
"Beauty, do you want to get out of here with me?"
Lu Ying gave him a disgusted look. She refused, and the man raised his hand at her and was about to hit her.
Suddenly, a man came in front of her and held the drunkard's wrist.
"It isn't right to hit ladies, right CEO Zhao?" Tang Qingyu came forward. Then he whispered in the man's ear, "Do you dare to touch my woman?"
Even though he whispered, Lu Ying and the group talking to her could still hear what he said.
CEO Zhao knew that his business would go downhill if he offended someone from the Tang family, so he said, "Oh! CEO Tang, I didn't know she was yours. Please excuse me."
When the man left, Tang Qingyu led Lu Ying to the side and said, "I said that to protect you. Don't think much of it."
Then, they went back to sit down at their reserved table.
One of the women in Lu Ying's group, An Hao, liked Tang Qingyu for years. When she heard that he was taken, she glared at Lu Ying.
An Hao grabbed something from her pocket. It was aphrodisiac. She went over to have a chat with them and she secretly put it in Lu Ying and Tang Qingyu's drinks, when they weren't paying attention. She planned to send Lu Ying to CEO Zhao's hotel room, while she went to Tang Qingyu's room.
She saw them starting to react to the drugs, so she told one of her men to send Lu Ying to the room and she started guiding Tang Qingyu to his room.
It wasn't that bad for them yet, so when Lu Ying was guided to the wrong room, she noticed the face of the man guiding her and he looked suspicious. She pulled her arm away and she started to run to her room. She closed the door shut after getting in. When she looked behind her, she saw Tang Qingyu sitting on the bed shirtless. She entered the wrong room!
He was alone because An Hao received a phone call outside, and another CEO took interest in her and took her to his room.
Lu Ying was about to head back out, but she felt a hand grab her wrist and pull her back. He kissed her and brought her to the bed.
Meanwhile, downstairs in the venue, Lu Shen and Tang Lin were wondering where their siblings went and in the end, they assumed that they left and went home already. They got into Lu Shen's car and they were on their way home.
Lu Shen noticed a black car following them. At first, he assumed that it was just a car going the same way as them, but the car followed them for a whole thirty minutes.
"Turn left," Lu Shen said to the driver. He wanted to avoid going to her neighborhood, just in case the followers might find out where Tang Lin lives and harm her.
"I'm sorry. I can't do that," the new driver of the Lu family said as he pointed a gun at the backseat. It turns out that the enemy's intention was to take them someplace else, not follow them to Lin's neighborhood. They planted an insider for their plans.
Tang Lin and Lu Shen easily understood what was happening and they stayed calm. He held her tight in his arms.
"It's alright. I won't let anyone hurt you," Lu Shen comforted.
"Do you know who is following us?"
"No. However, I can assume that it is Han family," Lu Shen said.
For several years, the Han family was the only family that dared to offend the Lu family. The Lu family never got revenge for all of their sufferings caused by that family because Lu Shen's mother, Han Ming, was a descendant of the Han family and they didn't want to take revenge on family.
Han Ming wasn't favored in the Han family because she was an average woman. She wasn't an extremely intelligent or extremely athletic child, like her sister. Lu Shen's father, Lu Tian, broke off the arranged engagement with Han Ming's sister, Han Yao, because he was in love with Han Ming. Because the family favored Han Yao more, they wished that she would be the daughter to marry into the wealthy Lu family and they didn't want their useless daughter to gain all of the privileges from the Lu family.
Their parents forced Lu Tian and Han Yao to get married, but Lu Tian walked away from the altar on their wedding day because he wanted to be with the woman he loved. In the end, he married Han Ming and nobody, including their parents, were able to stop them.
Due to the humiliation at the wedding, Han Yao drove far out and jumped off the cliff at the side of the road. The Han family never forgave the Lu family for causing their daughter to do such a thing. They took revenge in many ways, but they were never satisfied, so many incidents happened to the Lu family over the years.
The driver took them to a warehouse and a black van pulled up besides them. One by one, people who looked like they were in a gang came out of the car. They had baseball bats and pocket knives with them.
One of the men opened the door and pulled Tang Lin and Lu Shen out.
"Don't touch me!" Tang Lin yelled.
"You dare yell at the people who can end your life in a second!"
Lu Shen immediately moved in front of her to be her shield when she almost got slapped. He then grabbed the man's wrist and you could hear bones crackling. The gang member wailed and screamed as he drew his hand back.
Tang Lin looked at her fiancée's face. She had never seen such a scary expression on his face before. When he looked at her, there was only gentleness, love, and comfort in his eyes.
