Chapter 644 Engaged but Not Married
Song Yunxuan arrived at the Pansy restaurant at the appointed time.
Lu Feng was a man of his word.
He arrived at the restaurant before Song Yunxuan.
Lu Feng chose the table where they could enjoy the river view.
It was not easy to make a reservation for such a good position in normal times.
Seeing that there were no other customers except her and Lu Feng’s men in the Pansy restaurant, Song Yunxuan slightly frowned, asking Lu Feng, “Why are there no other customers here?”
“I booked the whole restaurant for our date.”
Seeing that Lu Feng was being this serious, Song Yunxuan smiled, replying, “Aren’t you afraid that people in Yuncheng may know something through this high-profile date?”
“What can they possibly know?”
Lu Feng smiled.
Song Yunxuan answered, “Something like I’m pregnant.”
Song Yunxuan put her fingers on her belly and stroked it.
It was Song Yunxuan and Chu Mochen’s baby. She loved it and hoped that it could come into the world in the future.
Even if Song Yunxuan didn’t know why Lu Feng made this date so high-profile, she would still keep the appointment and stick to her decision.
After glancing at his assistant and Mei Qi, Lu Feng said, “It’s just a simple dinner, so there shouldn’t be any outsiders, right?”
Hearing his boss’ words, Lu Feng’s assistant naturally knew what to do. He excused himself and left the table.
But Mei Qi was the only one that played gooseberry. After hearing Lu Feng’s words, he still sat beside Song Yunxuan, showing no inclination to leave.
Seeing that, Lu Feng frowned and said, “Don’t tell me you are going to bring a third wheel to dine with me.”
“Manager Song is now pregnant and needs protection.”
Mei Qi answered frankly.
But Lu Feng’s frown deepened and he strongly disagreed, “But I have something to discuss with Miss Song in private. You are only an assistant. Are you going to hear such a private talk?”
Mei Qi smiled, replying, “I wouldn’t mind hearing it.”
Mei Qi replied in a gentle voice, not being afraid of Lu Feng’s aggression.
Seeing the two men talking with each other eyeball to eyeball, Song Yunxuan smiled, saying to Mei Qi, “Wait for me downstairs, Assistant Mei. I’ll speak privately to Mr. Lu.”
It was just what Lu Feng wanted.
Lu Feng’s face softened when he saw Mei Qi left the seat. Then he said, “Your assistant is really responsible.”
Song Yunxuan smiled and replied, “Just so-so. It’s just that he has been my assistant for a long time. Just like my family.”
Lu Feng nodded, replying, “I can see that Assistant Mei is attentive to you. He is really conscientious.”
“Isn’t your assistant also conscientious?”
Song Yunxuan was being mellow.
Lu Feng didn’t make a fuss about the thing that Mei Qi displeased him.
When all the outsiders had left, Lu Feng handed over the menu to Song Yunxuan, saying, “Please take your order, Miss Song.”
A waitress walked over on hearing Lu Feng’s words and waited for Song Yunxuan to take her order.
Song Yunxuan tapped on the menu, and then the waitress said, “Wait for a moment, please.”
Then she went to the kitchen.
Lu Feng ordered the same dishes as Song Yunxuan did. After that, he began to drink some aperitif.
Lu Feng said leisurely, “May I know when you are going to hold our wedding, Miss Song?”
“Wedding?” Song Yunxuan felt a bit surprised.
Song Yunxuan didn’t expect that Lu Feng would pressure her for a date for the wedding.
Shortly after Song Yunxuan made a decision to connect Lu Feng by marriage, Lu Feng urged her to hold the wedding.
Song Yunxuan smiled, retorting, “Don’t you think it’s too early, Mr. Lu?”
“Shouldn’t we do the things that work to our advantage as soon as we can? Just like...” Lu Feng paused for a moment and then continued smilingly, “Just like the Shao Family’s affairs.”
Song Yunxuan pondered for a while.
Indeed, the sooner Song Yunxuan got Lu Feng’s help, the better it was for her. But if Song Yunxuan could not satisfy Lu Feng, it wouldn’t be easy for her to get Lu Feng’s help.
She slightly frowned, saying, “Mr. Lu.”
Hearing that Song Yunxuan called him Mr. Lu in such a serious tone, Lu Feng smiled, asking, “Yes?”
“In my opinion, there’s no need to hold a wedding.”
“No need?” Song Yunxuan’s words made Lu Feng wrinkle his brows with grim displeasure.
Song Yunxuan didn’t mean that she wanted to put off the wedding or she didn’t want to hold one. Instead, she directly told him that there was no need to hold one.
Obviously, Song Yunxuan had already decided not to hold a wedding.
Lu Feng knitted his brows, feeling that he couldn’t figure out what was on the woman’s mind.
Song Yunxuan had already agreed to connect him by marriage. However, she did everything in an unobtrusive way, which didn’t receive much attention.
Now she even told Lu Feng that she would not hold a wedding.
“If there’s no wedding, what’s the point of our marriage?”
Hearing Lu Feng’s question, Song Yunxuan said, “Miss Qin Rong won’t want you to hold a grand wedding for me.”
When Lu Feng heard Song Yunxuan’s words, his face instantly clouded.
“What does it have to do with that b*tch?”
Lu Feng couldn’t help calling Qin Rong b*tch while saying that.
The name Qin Rong might sound strange to other people. But Lu Feng couldn’t be more familiar with it.
Otherwise, Lu Feng wouldn’t scold Qin Rong right after hearing Song Yunxuan mentioned her name.
Lu Feng scolded Qin Rong.
Song Yunxuan didn’t believe that Lu Feng was still determined to hold a wedding.
Lu Feng bent his fingers and slowly clenched his fists on the table.
Then he remained silent for a while.
Just at that moment, the waitress came to serve the dishes.
She put the plates on the table in front of them.
After that, Song Yunxuan picked up the knife and fork to cut the steak.
Meanwhile, Lu Feng slightly narrowed his eyes when seeing Song Yunxuan enjoying the steak silently, asking, “What do you want?”
“Simple. I just don’t want you to make our marriage a high-profile one. Otherwise, my baby’s father may have a problem with me.”
“Is it really good for you to pin a label on me?” Having said that, Lu Feng didn’t appear angry at all.
He knew that Chu Mochen was the one in Song Yunxuan’s heart and the reason why she wanted to connect him by marriage was just that she wanted a helper.
However, Lu Feng didn’t care about who Song Yunxuan had feelings for. What he cared about was how much he could get after cooperating with Song Yunxuan.
Song Yunxuan had no appetite. After eating a few mouthfuls, she wiped her mouth with the napkin lukewarmly. Then she said to Lu Feng without preamble, “As long as I give birth to Mochen’s baby, the Chu Family will help me. By then, the Chu Family and the Song Family will cooperate. No matter how powerful Shao Tianze is, he should be worried.”
“In order to get the help of the Chu Family and the Song Family, I have to become the father of someone’s child. Such being the case, I’d better unite the Shao Family.”
“Shao Tianze could even murder his wife. Do you think he is trustworthy, Mr. Lu?”
Lu Feng wrinkled his brows, “Gu Changge...”
“She was killed by Shao Tianze.” Song Yunxuan couldn’t be bothered to avoid talking about that.
As things stood, it would be cruel for Song Yunxuan to leave Shao Tianze a good reputation.
Lu Feng became silent, frowning.
He had long known that Gu Changge died in suspicious circumstances. But Lu Feng didn’t expect that Song Yunxuan would directly say that Shao Tianze was the one who murdered Gu Changge.
“What makes you think I’ll believe you?”
“If you don’t believe me, I can do nothing about it.”
“To be frank, I don’t want to be cuckolded or be someone’s dad. Compared with me, the Chu Family is obviously less helpful to you at this critical moment. I think you are clear about it.”
Hearing Lu Feng said this much, Song Yunxuan could guess what he would say next.
“You want me to abort the baby in my belly?”
Song Yunxuan came straight to the point.
Lu Feng nodded bluntly, “Yes.”
Song Yunxuan smiled, got up from the seat, and said, “Then you leave me no choice.”
Song Yunxuan prepared to leave.
Seeing that, Lu Feng didn’t hurry to halt Song Yunxuan.
Because Song Yunxuan would lose the biggest help if she left.
Lu Feng thought Song Yunxuan would turn back, change her attitude, and agree to his demand.
However, Lu Feng found that Song Yunxuan showed no inclination to turn back until she reached the door.
Only then did Lu Feng knit his brows and call out to Song Yunxuan, “Miss Song.”
Song Yunxuan was thinking about whether she should say something and make Lu Feng change his mind.
But just as she was about to halt and negotiate with Lu Feng, Lu Feng buttonholed her.
It couldn’t be better.
Song Yunxuan didn’t want her to be the weak party in this cooperation.
The fact that Lu Feng yielded first was just what Song Yunxuan wanted.
Then Song Yunxuan halted.
Seeing that Song Yunxuan halted without looking back, Lu Feng asked Song Yunxuan as if he had compromised, “Tell me what you want, Miss Song.”
Song Yunxuan smiled and replied unhurriedly with her back to Lu Feng, “Engaged but not married.”
Lu Feng could totally understand Song Yunxuan’s words.
So Song Yunxuan just wanted to be a nominal fiancée of the Lu Family.
In this way, Shao Tianze would know that the Lu Family backed Song Yunxuan up because of the marriage.
Shao Tianze wouldn’t make a move on Song Yunxuan without scruples.
Meanwhile, Song Yunxuan wouldn’t hold a wedding or marry the Lu Family as she loved Chu Mochen and was pregnant with Chu Mochen’s baby.
“So how long do you want our marriage to last?”
“Until the Shao Family collapses and my baby comes into the world.”
As the mother of Chu Mochen’s baby, she would give the baby a right and proper name. She would never let her child have a stepfather.
Even if Song Yunxuan did not marry anyone, she would still take good care of the baby.
Lu Feng understood what Song Yunxuan meant.
So he pondered for a while and sighed, saying, “Fine. It’s up to you.”
Since Lu Feng couldn’t make Song Yunxuan change her mind, he had no choice but to listen to Song Yunxuan.
