Chapter 38 - Chapter - 37 I must marry my...

Lu Bai had to prepare for their wedding now. After sending Zhan Yu back to A City, he stayed there shortly before hurrying back to Shengjin City.

Zhan Yu went to work per usual. However, he could feel his colleague's bright gazes on him. There were numerous people teasing him as well. Many media companies knew that the two were about to get married. They made appointments with Zhan Yu, planning on interviewing him. Zhan Yu naturally rejected the offer.

Zhan Yu called Lu Bai and purposefully laughed. "President Lu Bai, thank you so much. You really bumped my popularity up another level." Due to this, he became busier with his work. There were countless people inviting him to host charities and galas.

Lu Bai spun the pen in his hand and smiled. "Yes, you're welcome, Lady Lu."

Zhan Yu was speechless. Of course he couldn't compliment Lu Bai!

The blissful days were short. An accident occurred one day.

This day, Zhan Yu was outside hosting a charity event in order to help impoverished children. When the event was over, he noticed that Zhan Qiancheng and Lu Bai had both given him a few calls.

Zhan Yu knew that Zhan Qiancheng wouldn't have called him so many times if it wasn't so important. Therefore, he called them back first.

Zhan Qiancheng's voice was deep and gloomy. He said, "Don't be overly anxious."

"What?" When Zhan Yu heard his tone, she knew something had happened. "Brother, what's going on?"

Zhan Qiancheng looked at Lu Bai who was staring expressionlessly back at him. He then chatted a bit with his assistant before replying, "Mother and father got into an accident. They're in the emergency room right now."

Zhan Yu was stunned and forgot how to react momentarily.

Zhan Qiancheng wanted to continue when Lu Bai snatched his phone. "I'll talk to him."

Lu Bai comforted Zhan Yu, "Don't be nervous. We're already in the hospital and we have the best medical team in the emergency room. Mother and Father will be fine."

Zhan Yu felt a sudden coldness on his cheeks. Zhan Yu touched his face to realize that he had cried. He hurriedly wiped his tears and trembled while saying, "I will come over right away."

"Don't be anxious. I already had Assistant Wang book the flight ticket for you. Do you need me to send him over to A City to pick you up?"

"No, I can do it myself."

Lu Bai could tell Zhan Yu was pretending to be calm and strong. He said, "When you're at the airport, call me. I'll come and pick you up."

"No need. I can go over by myself." Zhan Yu bit his lip and couldn't control his urge to ask, "Lu Bai, my parents will be fine, right?"

"Don't worry. Nothing will happen."

Zhan Yu hurried to Shengjin City in a daze. The moment he got off the plane, he received Assistant Wang's call.

Lu Bai had been waiting for Zhan Yu. He quickly drove Zhan Yu over to the hospital. The closer Zhan Yu was to his destination, the more restless and frightened he was.

Unexpectedly, Lu Bai was waiting for Zhan Yu at the hospital door. Zhan Yu got out of the car to see Lu Bai walking to Zhan Yu. He reached over and carried Zhan Yu's bag for him, and then he held his hands. He rubbed his thumb over the palm of Zhan Yu's hand, comforting, "Our parents will be fine."

Zhan Yu's eyes turned red and teary. He wanted to jump in Lu Bai's arms immediately but because countless people were here, he held his urge in the end. He choked with emotions and asked, "Was the surgery successful?"

"Very successful. They're fine. Don't worry."

Zhan Yu nodded and swallowed the bitterness in his throat.

God bless they're fine! God bless they're fine!

Lu Bai brought Zhan Yu over to the ward. The moment they were at the door, Zhan Qiancheng walked out.

He closed the door and saw Zhan Yu's pale white face, along with his teary red eyes. He said, "The doctor said mother and father need to remain calm during their recovery. You can go in to visit them but don't stay there for too long."

"Ok."

Zhan Yu softly pushed the door in and walked to the bed. He slowed down and tried to be silent.

The two originally healthy people now laid on the bed with pale faces. Zhan Yu recalled the past event and couldn't hold in the urge to cry. He quietly stared at them and then recollected hisself before walking out the door. He just opened the door when he heard Zhan Qiancheng whisper, "I told you not to notify him but you insisted. Look at how worried he is right now. Don't you feel bad?"

Lu Bai was silent. After a while, he said, "He has a right to know."

Zhan Yu remained unmoved.

At this moment, Zhan Yu suddenly realized that he liked and relied on Lu Bai a lot. Lu Bai understood him and knew what he wanted. Lu Bai could make him feel at ease. Lu Bai was always his strongest shield. He (Zhan Yu) knew that if Xin Jin and Bai Ning got into an accident and if Zhan Qiancheng chose not to tell him in order to prevent him from being upset, he (Zhan Yu) would definitely blame him (Zhan Qiancheng) in the future once he (Zhan Yu) found out the truth. Zhan Yu was their youngest son but lately, he wasn't doing a good job.

"Brother." When Zhan Yu thought of this, tears flowed down his cheeks.

"Don't blame him. I'm already feeling guilty that I wasn't able to be with them in the first moments when they got into an accident. If you decided to hide this from me, I won't be able to forgive myself even more."

"Xiao Yu..."

"Brother, mother and father are out of danger, right?"

"Yes, don't worry." Then he heard Zhan Yu ask, "How did they get into a car accident all of a sudden?"

Zhan Qiancheng became silent at this question.

Zhan Yu looked at him confusedly. "It's not a simple accident, right?"

He then said, "Father and mother planned to go to a concert today, but they got into a car accident on their way there. After the accident, the culprit ran away. It's still under investigation right now. I looked at the security footage my assistant sent and it seems intentional."

Zhan Yu knitted his eyebrows tightly. Intentionally? Just like when someone wanted to kill him and Lu Bai? Was it really the culprit Chu Hua's was talking about?

Zhan Yu mocked his self for being too stupid. He had completely forgotten about this time bomb after experiencing blissful and peaceful days. He glanced at Zhan Qiancheng then at Lu Bai. He said, "Is it the same person as last time?" Zhan Yu noticed that Lu Bai squinted his eyes when he heard this. Zhan Qiancheng looked at Lu Bai too.

Lu Bai was silent momentarily before he exclaimed in a deep voice, "Maybe we can start investigating from that person."

Zhan Yu saw that Zhan Qiancheng had a gloomy face, clearly knowing what Lu Bai was talking about. She hurriedly asked, "Who?"

"Shi Shi."

Zhan Yu scrunched his eyebrows. Her?

After they confirmed the direction of investigation, Zhan Qiancheng and Lu Bai each used their networks to help investigate the woman.

The elders of the Zhan Family woke up the next day. Seeing that all three of them were present, they couldn't help but ask, "Why are you guys all here?"

"Father, you guys just need to rest. We'll take care of the rest."

Zhan Jin knew that this wasn't an accident. That worn down car had driven over at such an extreme speed that he knew that it was meant for them. It felt like the driver wouldn't have given up unless they died in the car accident. He recalled that the Zhan Family had never offended anyone before. Then why did this person hate them so much? He was heavily injured. Since Zhan Qiancheng insisted on leaving the matters to them, he'd trust them.

In the following days, Zhan Yu requested many days of absence from work in order to accompany them. He would make trips between the house and the hospital every day.

Lu Bai would cancel meetings and dinner invitations from time to time in order to pick Zhan Yu up. Sometimes, Lu Bai would stay at the hospital at night with him.

This day, Zhan Qiancheng stayed the night with the parents in the hospital. He shooed Zhan Yu home to rest.

In less than a week, Zhan Yu's face had lost some of its fat and there were bags under his eyes. Lu Bak originally wanted to take Zhan Yu home, but thinking that Zhan Yu would be the only one there, he decided to bring Zhan Yu back to his house.

After Zhan Yu got in the car, Zhan Yu was on the verge of falling asleep. When they arrived at his apartment, Lu Bai carried Zhan Yu out of the car.

Zhan Yu placed hiz hand on Lu Bai's shoulder and asked confusedly, "Are we home?"

"Yes, you can continue to sleep. You got me."

"Ok." When Zhan Yu finished his words, Zhan Yu found a comfortable spot on Lu Bai and peacefully fell back asleep.

When Zhan Yu woke up the next morning, it was quite early. But because Zhan Yu had a great sleep last night, Zhan Yu was refreshed.

Zhan Yu rolled over to see Lu Bai sleeping by his side. Lu Bai's breath was even and Zhan Yu couldn't help but observe Lu Bai for a while. Then, Zhan Yu reached over and kissed Lu Bai's face. After that, Zhan Yu went to the kitchen.

After Lu Bai woke up, he patted the spot next to him. The blanket had no warmth anymore. Clearly, Zhan Yu had been up for a while. After he rinsed, he walked downstairs. He noticed that Zhan Yu was wearing an apron and busying himself in the kitchen.

Seeing Lu Bai standing by the kitchen door and staring at him, Zhan Yu smiled. "You're up? We can eat breakfast."

Zhan Yu prepared a light breakfast, but made some soup for his parents.

Lu Bai walked over and hugged Zhan Yu from behind. He lowered his head and kissed Zhan Yu's earlobes. He reminded Zhan Yu, "Don't exhaust yourself."

"I'm not tired." Zhan Yu became silent for a while before he continued, "A-Bai, I want to discuss something with you."

"Ok."

"I already informed my workplace a few days ago. I will be quitting the job."

Lu Bai stopped kissing Zhan Yu and asked, "Do you need my help?'

Zhan Yu shook his head. "I already contacted Shengjin City's TV Station. They welcomed me to join them."

Lu Bai slightly smiled and said in a low voice, "Ok! Welcome back, Lady Lu."

Zhan Yu couldn't help but grin too. He had considered moving his work back to Shengjin City for a long time and finally made the decision now.

Firstly, it was just more convenient for him to take care of his parents. Secondly, he would be married soon. It was better to keep his family and work in the same city. It would save him the time to travel back and forth.

"However, I need to catch them up with my work. Plus, I also need to do some tidying."

"Ok, I'll come with you in a few days."

After Gu Tong found out Zhan Yu had quit his job, he smiled and said, "At this rate, it feels like you're really ready to form a family with Lu Bai!"

"We are going to be married soon anyway. It's better if I come back now."

Gu Tong supported Zhan Yu too. "That's true. Your family's in this city as well. Oh right, remember to contact me after you get back. We can go out for lunch. Otherwise, the next time we see each other will probably be on your wedding."

Zhan Yu grinned. "That works!"

Zhan Yu returned to A City to complete the procedures while Lu Bai accompanied him. But because of an urgent matter in the company, Lu Bai had no choice but to hurry back to Sheng Jin City.

That night, Zhan Yu and his colleagues gathered together for dinner. The next morning, Zhan Yu invited Gu Tong out for breakfast. What shocked him was that Xia Qiao came too. From what he knew, Xia Qiao had been hosting a tourism variety show. Therefore, he would be constantly on the move. Zhan Yu hadn't seen him in a while.

Zhan Yu noticed that Xia Qiao became tanner and skinnier.

Zhan Yu asked him, "Is the new show tiring?"

Xia Qiao replied, "It's ok. It's just hot over there."

Zhan Yu faintly smiled. "Take care of yourself."

"Mhm." As Xia Qiao said this, he finally looked up at Zhan Yu. He opened his mouth but didn't say anything else in the end.

They were all A College's students. Zhan Yu naturally didn't mind Xia Qiao tagging along. This was good. At least they could all gather together for a last meal before he had to go.

Seeing that Xia Qiao looked down and wasn't saying anything, Gu Tong helped to warm the atmosphere up. "Zhan Yu, you already contacted the people at Sheng Jin City about your work?"

"Yes. The interview that day was very successful."

Gu Tong smiled and said, "Of course! Based on your popularity, it's the TV Station's loss for not accepting you!"

"Don't say it like that. In a new workplace, I would have to start everything over."

Gu Tong patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry! I believe you!"

"Hm, ok!" Zhan Yu laughed too.

They had a happy meal together. But in between the conversation, Xia Qiao didn't talk much. Zhan Yu could feel his careful gaze on him occasionally mixed with an unknown feeling.

On the way back, Zhan Yu and Gu Tong walked together. Zhan Yu asked Gu Tong, "Are you for real when you told me you were going to pursue Xia Qiao last time?"

Gu Tong immediately admitted, "Of course it's true!"

"Then how's it going for you guys now?"

Gu Tong thought about it before replying, "Mission not accomplished. I will work harder!"

"You're going to have to work harder. I'll be waiting to attend your wedding feast!"

To Zhan Yu, Gu Tong and Xia Qiao are his two best friends in this city. If they could be together in the future, that would be the best.

"I'll try my best! I'll either succeed or die trying!"

Zhan Yu returned the words he had said to him, "Don't worry, I believe in you!"

After bidding farewell with Gu Tong, Zhan Yu returned to hid apartment to pack up her things.

Lu Bai said that if he enjoyed being here, they could come live here frequently if they had time in the future. Therefore, Zhan Yu didn't plan on packing everything. He simply packed essential items. When he finished packing up in the evening, Lu Bai called him and asked when he would be back.

Zhan Yu thought about it before replying, "In a bit, in another hour."

"I'll have Assistant Wang book a plane ticket for you."

"Ok, thank Assistant Wang for me."

Lu Bai hummed in agreement before he continued, "How about me? How do you plan on thanking me?"

"This..." Zhan Yu purposefully said, "I don't want to thank you. Plus, I don't need to either."

Lu Bai smiled faintly. He was pleased that Zhan Yu didn't treat him as a stranger. He reminded, "Be careful on your way. I probably don't have time to pick you up later so I will have Assistant Wang pick you up."

"That's unnecessary. I can go back myself."

Lu Bai allowed Zhan Yu to have his way.

When the plane landed in Sheng Jin City, it was nighttime. The airport was bustling with people.

Zhan Yu dragged his suitcase as he walked. He wore a white long coat and sunglasses. As he walked, his figure and temperament attracted many people's gazes. But before he could walk out of the airport, he was suddenly stopped by a man.

The man wore a gray suit but his suit wasn't like Lu Bai's, meticulous. His suit was a bit wrinkled and his blue tie was also crooked.

Zhan Yu stopped walking and looked at the man in front of him through his black sunglasses. The man had an ok appearance and Zhan Yu confirmed multiple times before coming to the conclusion that Zhan Yu didn't know him.

Zhan Yu took off his sunglasses and asked, "Mr, you are?"

The moment she said this, numerous paparazzi surrounded them. Before Zhan Yu figured out what happened, that man rushed over and hugged him. He sobbed and said as if he was wronged, "Wife, wife, I finally found you!"

Zhan Yu would've never thought he was called "wife" under these circumstances.

Lu Bai had never called him that. He loved calling him "wifey."

Comparing the two, Zhan Yu just realized how disgusting it was for the man to call him "wife."

The man didn't have a fresh and pleasant smell like Lu Bai. There was also a strong smell of smoke and sweat on him.

Zhan Yu struggled to free himself from him but he seemed to be on guard. The man hugged him tightly and refused to let go. Zhan Yu couldn't even move his arms.

"Let go! You got the wrong person! Quickly let me go!"

"No! There's no way I got the wrong person! You're Zhan Yu, my wife!"

"I don't even know you!"

The cameras and phones flashed nonstop. Zhan Yu was trapped in the middle. He couldn't struggle free or even escape.

There were numerous people who recognized him and they had all sorts of conversation. "Isn't she Xin Zhan Yu? Wasn't he going to marry Lu Bai?"

"Heaven! That man called him his wife! Did he make Lu Bai a cuckold?"

"Whoa, who knew that he was a beautiful but immoral man!"

"It's really the annual show..."

When Zhan Yu heard the comments, he had a grim expression.

"I'm telling you that if you don't let me go, I'll make sure you'll have to face the consequences!" Zhan Yu shook from anger. His clothes were infected by his smell and it was a pungent smell.

"Wife, don't be with that man with surname Lu. I will do my best to earn money and support the family!"

"Who exactly are you?!"

"Wife! I am Lin Hui! You're my wife. There's no way I would've mistaken you for someone else!"

Lin Hui...

Zhan Yu's mind went blank and then it seemed like he remembered something.

Heh.

Zhan Yu calmed down and said, "You said we're married. Then do you remember your tragic death the night we were married?"

His expression stiffened when he heard this.

While he was shocked, Zhan Yu harshly kicked his private part. He groaned and clenched in pain while Zhan Yu hurriedly dragged his suitcase and walked off.

The paparazzi surrounding them still wanted to take pictures when Zhan Yu turned around. Zhan Yu said cruelly, "If you guys want your company to go bankrupt tomorrow, follow as you wish! Dare to see Lu and Zhan Family has the capabilities to do this or not."

It might be because Zhan Yu looked extremely serious and his voice was full of anger, but Zhan Yu stunned everyone and they remained unmoved.

Zhan Yu first called Zhan Qiancheng. "Brother, I want you to beat someone up for me."

Zhan Qiancheng was quite surprised at her request. "Who bullied you?"

"That bastard took advantage of me."

Zhan Qiancheng didn't ask for the details, only a name.

"Lin Hui."

After Zhan Yu hung up, he sat in the car and felt his labored breathing. Zhan Yu was really angry.

Bastard!

Why did Lin Hui suddenly appear? He even knew that he was married with the female side lead of the novel.

But ever since hr transmigrated, he had never seen him. He suddenly thought of something. Was it possible that bastard was reborn?

But Zhan Yu tested him. Looking at his expression, he didn't seem to know.

After pondering over this matter, the only possibility was that someone incited him. This person probably knew of the development of the novel as well...

So, it wasn't just him who transmigrated into this book?

Who could it be?

Zhan Yu thought hard about this but still couldn't come up with a conclusion. At this time, he received Lu Bai's call.

The moment Zhan Yu saw his name, Zhan Yu felt his unease heart calming down. Zhan Yu answered the call and wanted to say something, but Zhan Yu realized that he choked with feelings. Zhan Yu couldn't say anything.

On the other hand, was his incomparably anxious voice. "Where are you?"

Zhan Yu looked at the road and gave him an address.

Lu Bai said nothing but, "I'll come over to pick you up."

When Zhan Yu heard he was going to pick him up, Zhan Yu got out of the car and waited by the side of the road.

Lu Bai arrived quickly. He parked his car and quickly got out. Before Zhan Yu could see the color of his tie, Zhan Yu was brought tightly into his arms.

"Sorry, I came late."

Zhan Yu buried his head in his arms and breathed in his cool and pleasant smell. Zhan Yu couldn't help but greedily take in his scent. Then Zhan Yu hurriedly pushed Lu Bai, "There's a smell on me."

"What?"

"That man has an unpleasant smell..."

When Zhan Yu said this, he noticed that Lu Bai's face turned incredibly gloomy. Lu Bai held Zhan Yu's hands and they got in the car. Then Lu Bai drove the car to his apartment.

When Zhan Yu got out of the shower, he saw Lu Bai calling someone by the balcony. "Settle this matter for me. I don't want to see any news of it. Also, investigate thoroughly. I want to know who he is."

Once Lu Bai finished saying this, he detected footsteps coming closer. He turned around and the air around him became warmer. He placed his phone away and smiled at Zhan Yu. "You're done?"

"Yes." Zhan Yu wore a white robe and his hair was still dripping.

Lu Bai took a clean towel over and wiped his hair for him. "You. There's not a moment you would save me from worry."

"So, you're upset at me?"

"Lady Lu, I don't dare."

Zhan Yu snorted and asked him, "You already know?"

"Don't you think I should know in the first moments?"

This angry tone...

Zhan Yu thought. Hm, he said something wrong.

Zhan Yu knew that he had said the wrong thing and he felt the air around Lu Bai turning colder. Once he saw Lu Bai's gloomy face, Zhan Yu hurriedly reached over to hug hm.

Zhan Yu acted cute, "Honey, I'm wrong!"

Lu Bai didn't push Zhan Yu away but didn't return the hug either. He coldly asked, "What did you do wrong?"

Zhan Yu adapted to his current situation and said, "I should've told you the moment I was in trouble."

"Zhan Yu, do you think I'm only angry because of this?"

Zhan Yu lowered his head and rubbed his face against Lu Bai's arms. "I know, I know. You're scared that I might get in an accident. But it happened too suddenly and my mind was a mess. I wanted to call you but I couldn't even explain what happened. How do you want me to explain this to you..." As Zhan Yu continued, his voice became a whisper.

Lu Bai listened to Zhan Yu's voice and helplessly asked, "You feel wronged?"

Zhan Yu retorted, "Of course! A random man suddenly ran over and called me his wife. He'd taken advantage of me! How could I not feel wronged?! Even having my brother beat him up won't make me any less angry! You haven't even called me that...he had really taken advantage of me!"

Listening to Zhan Yu's angry but upset words, Lu Bai comforted, "Don't be upset. We'll get revenge for everything he had done! If you still can't vent your anger, we'll make him pay double!"

Zhan Yu felt Lu Bai's palm gently patting his back as if comforting him. He looked up at Lu Bai and softly asked, "You believe me? Were you not suspicious of that person?"

"I was suspicious of that person but you're my wife. Why would I go and believe a random stranger instead of you?"

"Lu Bai..."

"There are a lot of suspicious points here." Lu Bai looked deeply at Zhan Yu and asked, "Have you seen him before?"

Zhan Yu shook his head. "I don't know him."

Although Zhan Yu knew that person had married the original Zhan Yu later on. After he was caught with adultery, he were ruthlessly murdered.

He didn't deserve to live and harm others.

But Zhan Yu couldn't tell Lu Bai anything.

Zhan Yu thought about it before asking, "Do you think someone is behind what happened today?"

Lu Bai was silent momentarily before he responded, "In the future, I'll take you out. You have to pay attention to your surroundings. Otherwise, I'll send two bodyguards to look over you."

Zhan Yu immediately rejected. "That's not necessary. I need to report to the TV Station tomorrow!"

Hearing Zhan Yu's rejection, Lu Bai was a bit unhappy.

Zhan Yu hurriedly added on, "I promise that whatever happens, I will try my best to escape safely! My safety will be my top priority, ok?"

Lu Bai sighed. "You have to protect yourself. Regarding today's matter, leave it to me."

"Ok."

After Zhan Yu and Lu Bai had a simple lunch, the two returned to Zhan Family to visit Zhan Jin and Bai Ning. They recovered pretty good and because there was a personal doctor at home, they decided to leave the hospital a few days early.

When Zhan Yu saw the two of them, he happily greeted, "Father, mother." They had weird expressions on their face. Zhan Yu looked at the two and then at Lu Bai.

"Uncle, aunt, what's the matter?" Lu Bai asked first.

Zhan Jin said, "Lu Bai. sorry to trouble you but please have a seat in the living room for a while. Your aunt and I have to talk to Xiao Yu"

Lu Bai looked at their expressions and continued, "Uncle, aunt, are you guys referring to what happened at the airport?" When he mentioned this, Zhan Jin and Bai Ning both held awkward expressions. Lu Bai explained, "This was probably intentional. They have a simple motive. Drive a wedge between me and Xiao Yu At the same time, give him a bad reputation. That way, the elders will have bad impressions of him and secondly, the audience who had been supporting him would also become his anti-fans."

When Lu Bai finished his explanation, the two elders had solemn looks. He chuckled and said, "I can't help but say this was a really good plan. Taking out three birds with one stone."

When Zhan Jin heard this, he looked at Zhan Yu and asked, "Zhan Yu, you haven't done anything of that sort, right?"

Zhan Yu felt helpless. "Father, mother, who do you think I am? Even Lu Bai believes me unconditionally. How could you guys be suspicious of me? I really don't know that person and have nothing to do with him."

Bai Ning patted her chest. "Thankfully you haven't. Thankful you haven't. When your father and I had seen the comments online, we didn't even know what to do."

"The comments online?" Zhan Yu understood what happened. Zhan Yu explained, "Mother, father, one could casually hire online water armies and exaggerate and hype the comments. You guys don't need to worry about this! We will try to resolve this issue quickly!"

"Ok, the sooner you do, the better. Lately, lots of things had happened. We're not sure who's behind this but they're quite ruthless and cruel..."

"Mother, the truth will be revealed one day. As to when the truth will be revealed, let's just watch. After all, there is always a solution to the problem. We won't admit defeat."

When Bai Ning heard this, she was slightly at ease. "Ok, you have to pay more attention in the future. Safety first."

"Ok."

It was getting late. Zhan Yu brought Lu Bai out. At the door, Lu Bai asked Zhan Yu, "You really don't plan on letting me stay?"

How could Zhan Yu not know what Lu Bai was thinking? Zhan Yu smiled and purposefully said, "President Lu Bai, you live in Sheng Jin City as well. It's not even a half hour ride home."

"Even half an hour is too long."

Zhan Yu teased, "How about you buy a house near my house? Just like in A City."

But Lu Bai said, "I can't afford it. Lately, I have been saving money in order to marry my wife."

Zhan Yu joked, "Oh, you can't afford to marry him? Then don't marry him?"

"Of course not. Even if I have to live a frugal life, I must marry my wife."

"Humph." Zhan Yu giggled.

"When we're married, I have a valid reason to stay over at your place." When Lu Bai said this, Lu Bai walked over and hugged Zhan Yu. He lowered his head and pecked Zhan Yu's lips. He let Zhan Yu go and said, "Next time, I'll be seeking both capital and profit from you."

To be continued...
