Chapter 20 - PROPOSAL

Next morning Lu Hong woke up as usual and after freshening up he went straight to the parking lot as Li Jia Yi was staying at the Lu family residence. Lu Hong stopped at the roadside stall and brought breakfast to himself. After finishing the breakfast Lu Hong pressed on the accelerator going straight to the school.

After parking the car Lu Hong walked straight to school ground, before he can reach the Finance class he felt someone was tugging at his arm. Turning around he saw Qi Sheng Yi standing behind him with her eyes reddened. Lu Hong looked at her coldly shooking his arm off asking.

"What do you want?"

"I...I"

Qi Sheng Yi stammered as she looked around and saw many eyes looking at her. Feeling angry and conflicted she stuffed a pre prepared letter into Lu Hong hands before running off. Lu Hong face darkened as he opened the letter his face darkened even more.

"Lu Hong, I apologies for my behavior last night. How about I agree to be your girlfriend amd let my Qi family off the hook. Please this once, I will make sure I didn't difey you again. "

Lu Hong greeted his teeth and tore the paper into pieces amd throwed them into the nearby dustbin. The surrounding students not knowing the full picture were shocked not expecting that some one in the campus will reject their Godess Qi's confession. Soon Lu Hong once again became the hot topic in the magic city University.

At the Finance class gathering area Song Zi Sheng amd other two were standing infront of Bu Zou Ling. Song Zi Sheng looked at Bu Zou Ling as he spoke

"Ms. Bu, can we help you with something"

"Hmm, we're is Lu Hong"

She asked casually without any hesitation or change in expression. Li Song Dong looked at his watch and responded

"He might be coming anytime sooner. May I enquire if you need anything else"

"What does his family really do?"

Bu Zou Ling blurred it out only to realize her bluntness, Li Song Dong and Zhou shi Hai looked at Song Zi Sheng not knowing what to say. Song Zi Sheng was not the one to betray of talk about his friend behind their back and bluntly replied

"If you want to know about him you should go and ask him yourself"

Saying that Song Zi Sheng dragged his two roommates along not giving Bu Zou Ling any face at all because he was not the one to be afraid of troubles coming his way. Bu Zou Ling was taken a back and was about to reprimand them when...

"Is there something you need from my friends Ms. Bu"

Bu Zou Ling's eyes widened as she turned around there behind her Lu Hong without any expression looked at her with pure amusement. Song Zi Sheng and others seeing Lu Hong ran over saying.

"Brother Hong you are here, Ms. Bu was just asking about your family background"

"Hmm, I heard why don't you guys go and ----- a place for me. While I talk to Ms. Bu"

Song Zi Sheng understanding Lu Hong's hint nodded amd walked away followed by other two. Once they left Lu Hong turned to Bu Zou Ling asking

"Tell me what do you want to know"

"I...,"

Bu Zou Ling stammered for a moment before composing her self she spoke.

"Lu Hong I want you to forgive Qi family"

"Did Qi Quan sent you or you taking the initiative"

Lu Hong asked even though he know the answer, Bu Zou Ling bit her lip before responding

"It has nothing to do with Qi Quan, I came on my initiative"

Lu Hong shook his head in exasperation before asking

"So, do you brother Qi"

Bu Zou Ling lowered her head and nodded before adding,

"Uhh, he is a good guy"

"I agree, I hope you take good care of brother Qi. After his parents death he had gone through he'll under the oppression of his family and partners. He just came back in track, so I advice you not to have any bad intentions about him"

Lu Hong said genuinely admiring Qi Quan, Bu Zou Ling shot him an exasperated glance before saying

"He was the first one who was so gentle and kind towards me after my parents. The more I spend time with him the more I like him"

Lu Hong rolled his eyes teasing

"Hoo, some one is in love."

Bu Zou Ling shot him a exasperated glance before asking

"About YiYi?"

"Don't worry about her, I and brother Qi already decided to take this chance to teach her a lesson."

Lu Hong said as he waved his hand and walking away without any backward glance clearly not want to talk about it. Bu Zou Ling shrugged helplessly as she murmured 'YiYi I already done what I can, everything else was upto you'.

Soon the military training came to an end as Lu Hong stood up and was about to walk back to his dorm a call came through. Upon seeing that it was call from his mother he answered it without any hesitation. His mother's warm and lovely voice came from other end of the call.

"Hey son, are you free this morning"

"Well I had a class this morning but I can skip if it's urgent"

Lu Hong said a bit puzzled of why his mother was calling all of a sudden, Li Jia Yi sighed feeling exasperated as she said

"No need just make sure you come and visit a guest at Lu Family estate by this evening"

"Okay, no problem."

Lu Hong said a bit curious about who the guest I matter Is, and after having a simple conversation Lu Hong hangup the call. In the dormitory 208 Lu Hong and other three gathered at the table as they eat and chat.

"Zhou shi Hai: Brother you are not with us yesterday, you should have watched Xu Shao Yi's face when she learned that you're the young master of Magic cities powerful family"

Li Song Dong nodded

"Hmm, exactly. The moment she saw you in those designer outfit and your interaction with big shots Xu Shao Yi dowed a full bottle of wine."

Song Zi Sheng looked at Lu Hong and added mysterious

"You guys didn't know I meet up with Su Song this morning and learned that he spent a night with her after learning about it she sprayed a mouth full of blood amd collapsed this morning"

Lu Hong eyes widened in shock and a bit uncomfortable but didn't say anything amd just nodded in response, seeing that Lu Hong was quiet Zhou shi Hai changed the subject saying.

"There will be a auto show next month? Do you guy's want to tag along"

"Auto show. What is that?"

Lu Hong asked a bit puzzled,Song Zi Sheng looked at him as he was a fool and explained

"Auto show was typically a bunch of famous brands show case their automotive for promoting their brand, you can also buy a rare and limited edition cars in the auto show"

Lu Hong nodded saying

"I see, count me in. Do we need an invitation"

"Nah, we just need an connections to get in"

Li Song Dong said as he waved his hand casually, Lu Hong nodded but didn't say more. After freshening up Zhou shi Hai and Song Zi Sheng left for class leaving only Li Song Dong amd himself alone. Li Song Dong who was playing games in his computer removed his head phones and turned to Lu Hong asking

"We are one teammate shot do you like to join?"

Lu Hong didn't respond immediately instead he looked at the time. Making sure he will not be late to the class before nodding in agreement.

"Sure"

Setting up his computer Lu Hong sat opposite to Li Gong Dong after entering his ID and password Lu Hong logged in as the game interface appeared on the screen. Entering the room Lu Hong greeted his other two teammates before tasting the game. As the time passed the team won two games and lost four games in total.

"Phhhhh., finally it's done. I will go and freshen up first"

Saying that Lu Hong stood up and walked into the restroom,, few minutes later Lu Hong stepped out of the shower. Sitting on his bed lu Hong dried his hair before putting the hair dryer aside. After checking the time Lu Hong left a not for Li Song Dong before leaving the dorm room.

In the Finance class 2, the class was filled with only few people since there was still time left for next class. The door to the class room was opened and a graceful figure with the beauty that rivals the 99% of girls in the country. Even thoughshe was dressed in rather plain clothes she exudes b0th carm and grace.

The moment she entered every eye in the class was drawn to her. Morong Yu looking around didn't find Lu Hong so she decided sit at the nearby empty seat. Coincidentally the seat next to Lin XiXi was empty, Morong Yu was not polite and sat next to Lin XiXi. Lin XiXi want to say something but ultimately fell silent.

Naturally Lin XiXi wanted to saved that seat for Lu Hong but upon reflection she didn't want to offend this diety the princess of Morong family from capital. so, she fell quiet as the time passed the door to the classroom was once again pushed open as tall and sunny figure walked in with plain dressing. He scanned the class room amd spotted Zhao Shi Hai sitting in the second row, walking over he sat right behind Morong Yu.

As the bell to the class rang the door to the lecture hall was pushed open. A middle-aged women with wrinkles on her face yet exudes a youthful demeanour walked in she scanned the room and jokingly remarked.

"Hoho, there are lot of students attending this old women lecture today. So, let's see where are we in the last class"

Xiao Zhang Yi paused before saying

"In recently technological Era the utilization of Human resources in finance..."

Two hours had elapsed with the end of the class, Xiao Zhang Yi paused before turning to face the eager students as she spoke.

"I will post the project groups this afternoon, please check and let me know if you have any doubts."

Saying that Xiao Zhang Yi picked up her stuff and left the lecture hall. Once the class ended Lu Hong said goodbye to his best buddy Zhou shi Hai before leaving the lecture building B. In the parking Lot Lu Hong took out his keys and pressed the button as the butterfly doors opened.

Lu Hong didn't got into his car instead turned around and called out into an empty space.

"Come out, how long are you planning to follow me"

The space in front was tranquil with no presence but in the next moment a figure all to familiar to Lu Hong walked out of the bushes ahead. Lu Hong looked at her as if she was a fool asking

"Why are you following me XiXi?"

"I...i,"

Yep the person standing in front of him was none other than Lin XiXi, she wanted to see if he was really the Young master of Lu family. Lu Hong looked at her in amusement amd sighed saying

"Get in let's talk on the way"

Sayingbthat Lu Hong turned around and got into the car, Lin XiXi didn't say anything and got into passenger seat. Once inside Lu Hong buckled up his seatbelt and lookedd at Lin XiXi who curled up like a racoon asking.

"Aren't you going to fasten your seatbelt"

"Ahhh,oh yes"

Lin XiXi spoke incoherently as she mechanically buckled up his seatbelt, Lu Hong started the car as the car spread forward. Once they were out of the campus Lu Hong looked at Lin XiXi from the side asking

"So, tell me why are you following from all the way to the parking lot"

"I..I just want to confirm"

Lin XiXi blurred it out as she looked at Lu Hong before adding

"I want to confirm if you are rally the young master of Lu family"

Lu Hong didn't respond instead questioned

"Did Xu Shao Yi told you"

Lin XiXi nodded amd then shook her head in denial saying

"She only told me Su Song called you young Master Lu. So, I thought of an infamous Lu family that dominates both magic city and Imperial capital"

Lu Hong sighed as he spoke

"Is that why you are following me to make sure if I am really the person you thought off"

Lin Xi Xi didn't respond instead nodded, instantly the car fell quiet. Few minutes later Lin XiXi gathered her courage saying.

"Lu Hong will you be willing to be my boyfriend"

Lu Hong eyes widened not expecting Lin XiXi to ask it directly, he know that Lin XiXi had feelings for him but he didn't expect her to say it out loud. Lu Hong hesitated not knowing how to reject her. Lin XiXi sevening Lu Hong's hesitation remarked.

"I am not desperate for you to like me back, I just want to know about your feelings. If you don't have any opinion about I will just give up and want to find someone who can reciprocate my feelings"

Lu Hong took a deep breath and calmly responded

"XiXi, I understand that you have feelings for me but i am sorry I only see you as a friend nothing more than that. Hope you will understand it and strive for the future"

Lin XiXi laughed self-deprecatigly which genuinely startled Lu Hong. Lu Hong didn't say anything and stayed quiet all the way after a while Lin XiXi stopped crying and looked around asking

"Where are we going? "

"To my place"

Lu Hong spoke as he slowed the car and drow through the massive gate and after driving for like 800 meters a big estate covering over 10, 000 Square feet appeared in front of them. Lin XiXi's mouth fell open as she looked at the vast fortress in front of her in an awe. she calmed her racing heart and looked at Lu Hong internally marveling 'How rich is the Lu Family'

Lu Hong chuckled Thinking 'successful showed off' feeling Lin XiXi's gaze remarked

"Am I that handsome"

Lin XiXi's lips twitched as she rebutted

"Don't flatter yourself"

Lu Hong chuckled softly as he pulled over to the side parking his car aside lu Hong turned to Lin XiXi saying

"Follow me closely and make sure not to get lost"

"Huff showing off again"
