Lu Qian spoke deeply and sincerely about his own feelings.

  Ling Jingyu remained unmoved: "Don't say anything else. What I wanted to say has already been made very clear just now. In this life, I am not willing to have any connection with the Lu family, and I will never marry into the Lu family."

  Lu Qian pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "Mother will soon propose to Grandmother and Fifth Uncle. As long as they all agree, this marriage will be settled..."

  Ling Jingxu's eyes flashed with anger, and she coldly said: "Lu Qian, you always do this! You're so stubborn and self-righteous. Just like a child who never grows up, always crying and throwing a tantrum over things that don't belong to them. Only thinking about what they want, never caring whether others are willing or not. It was the same in their past life, and even after being reborn for another lifetime, this bad habit still hasn't changed."

  "I don't want to see you again, get out of here now!"

  Lu Qian's face lost all its color, his eyes revealing sorrow and pain, yet he still refused to give up. Suddenly, he blurted out: "Ah Shu, in your past life you were wronged so badly, don't you want revenge?"

  Ling Jingxu's heart skipped a beat as she suddenly looked at Lu Qian, her eyes filled with vigilance and hostility: "Are you going to tell the Lu family everything?"

  "A'zhu, you misunderstood me." Lu Qian immediately explained: "This is your greatest secret, and also mine. I swear to you, in this life and the next, I will never tell anyone, especially not the people of the Lu family."

  She will never believe anyone's oath again.

  Ling Jingxu's eyes flashed with a cold, mocking smile: "Is that so? Even if I were to kill Lu An and his wife in the future to avenge myself, you wouldn't utter a word?"

  Lu Qian's eyes shot out a fervent and crazy light: "Yes, as long as you marry me. I will never make a sound, and I will do my best to help you."

  "I know you hate the Lu family, you want to kill them. But you're just a weak and helpless woman, you want revenge, but the only way is to remarry into the Lu family again. Big brother wronged you in his past life, you hate him in your heart and absolutely don't want to be husband and wife with him again. I am actually your true good person and haven."

  "Ah-shu, why don't you just marry me!"

  This Lu Qian is really crazy!

  Ling Jingxu took a deep breath, looking at Lu Qian with an incredulous gaze: "Do you know what you're saying?"

  Lu An and Ling were ruthless and poisonous, but they were also Lu Qian's biological parents. They didn't care about the love and kindness of raising her, and instead kept saying that they would help her avenge herself.

  He used to be a self-willed and stubborn child who didn't care about others. Now he's twisted and crazy, chilling to the bone.

  Lu Qian looked at Ling Jingxuan's disbelieving and stunned face, not only was he not angry, but instead laughed: "Of course I know what I'm saying. Ah Xuan, in my past life I was too weak and useless, didn't have the courage to save you, and could only watch as you were humiliated. In the moment of my death, I made a vow to myself. If there's a next life, I won't be like before, so cowardly. I will protect you, I will help you take revenge!"

  "Afterwards, my brother will go to the capital and be chosen by Princess Changping as her husband, and he will never return to Jizhou. The position of head of the Lu family will naturally fall to me. Taking advantage of the fact that Father and Mother are not on guard, I can secretly poison them to death. At that time, the Lu family will become our world. Ah-jiao, all the humiliation you suffered in the past, I will repay it double."

  The smile is as innocent as a child's, but the words spoken are ruthless and cruel.

  Lu Qian said so, and Ling Jingxu's determination to reject his heart grew stronger.

  However, in front of Lu Qian, simply refusing was useless. He was so stubborn and terrifying that he wouldn't listen to anything he didn't want to hear. She thought about refusing this marriage proposal and could start by approaching Old Lady Ling and Fifth Master Ling. As long as the engagement wasn't finalized, Lu Qian's one-sided feelings would be of no use...

  Ling Jing's heart was racing with electricity, but she deliberately slowed down her expression: "What you said today, I really didn't expect. Give me a few days to think about it carefully."

  A slight relaxation in his tone caused Lu Qian to become excited, and a wave of excitement flushed across his pale face: "Alright alright, take your time."

  Ling Jingyu's voice softened again: "Before I've figured it out clearly, don't let Auntie mention marriage, okay? You still have to stay at the Ling residence for a while, there's no rush in these few days."

  Such gentleness was what Lu Qian's soul had been yearning for in his past life but couldn't get. Knowing that Ling Jingxu was intentionally dragging out the days, Lu Qian still found it hard to refuse and nodded in agreement without hesitation.

  Ling Jingxuan secretly let out a sigh of relief.

  ......

  What needs to be said has been said, and Lu Qian should also leave now.

  It's hard to come by time alone, and Lu Qian couldn't bear to leave. He quickly found a topic: "Ah Jiao, when were you reborn?"

  "About the same as you."

  It's indeed a match made in heaven. Otherwise, how could they have woken up and been reborn at the same time?

  Lu Qian's heart was filled with joy and his eyes shone brightly: "You didn't reveal anything, did you?"

  Ling Jingxu didn't want to continue this conversation and instead asked back: "After you were reborn, did the Lu family notice anything unusual?"

  "No." Lu Qian's chest had a confident and self-assured answer: "I've always been very careful, never revealing my true intentions in front of Big Brother. He still hasn't suspected me in the slightest until now."

  Ling Jing's eyes flashed, and she asked coldly, "Does he know that you're going to propose, and doesn't he suspect anything about you?"

  Lu Qian's smile paused for a moment.

  No suspicions, but brothers drifting apart is inevitable...

  Ling Jingyu stared straight at Lu Qian, not missing the subtle changes in his expression: "Originally, Mr. and Mrs. Lu were going to propose a marriage for him. Before that, I had already sternly rejected him. With his pride, he wouldn't dare ask me again. So when Mr. Lu and my mother brought up the engagement, he must have refused. Then you suddenly stepped forward, pestering them until they proposed to you on your behalf. Am I right?"

  It's as if I saw it with my own eyes, describing the situation at that time without missing a single word.

  Lu Qian's heart was shocked and it seemed as if he had seen Ling Jingxuan for the first time.

  In his memory, Ling Jingxu was a stunning beauty, with exceptional talent and gentle as water. He was deeply attracted to her beauty and gentleness, leaving no room for anyone else in his eyes and heart. After rebirth, when he saw Ling Jingxu again, he was immersed in the excitement and thrill of their reunion. It wasn't until now that he realized the changes in Ling Jingxu.

  Sometimes gentle (towards Ling Xiao), sometimes cold as ice (towards him and Lu Xiong). At this time, his cleverness and sharpness are even more astonishing.

  Ling Jingyu pulled the corner of her lips and asked faintly, "You're only twelve years old, in Lu Hong's eyes you're still a child who doesn't understand things. You suddenly say you want to marry me. How could Lu Hong not be suspicious? Perhaps he has been secretly observing your every move, and has long since harbored suspicions in his heart."

  Lu Qian looked at Ling Jingxu deeply: "You know his temperament very well."

  The soulmate who loved each other in their past life, the husband who shared the same bed for two years, how could she not understand Lu Xiang?

  She bluntly rejected him, and also vomited due to his touch. With Lu Hong's self-esteem and pride, he would not have the audacity to marry her again. Everything was calculated, except for the unexpected "accident" of Lu Qian.

  It's not as easy to dispel Lu Qian's obsession as it was with Lu Hong.

  "I was once his wife, and we had a loving relationship. I understand his nature, it's not surprising. This lifetime, I will never marry him again. But, I also won't like any other man again."

  Lu Qian: “......”

  The last sentence was like a sharp arrow that pierced his chest. No blood flowed, but it hurt to the core.

  Ling Jingyu raised her eyes and looked at Lu Qian: "Lu Qian, I have something important to ask you. You must tell me the truth."

  Lu had a faint sense of unease in his heart, but his face didn't show it at all: "Alright, as long as I know something, I'll definitely tell you everything without holding anything back."

  "I want to ask you, did Lu Hong really never write a letter to me in his past life, nor did he let someone convey messages to me? Did he just abandon his wife and child without a word?"

  This issue has been stuck in her heart for several years, making her feel like a fishbone in her throat. Even if she will never have emotional involvement with Lu Hong again, she wants to figure out the truth: "Is his having an affair due to some other inner reason?"

  Lu Qian's pupils suddenly contracted and he blurted out without thinking: "No!"

  Ling Jingyu's eyes were fixed on his face, and she didn't miss this unusual expression. Her heart suddenly sank.

  Lu is secretly telling lies!

  If there really was no inside story and Lu Qian had no idea, when hearing such a question, the first reaction should be "I don't know", rather than "none".

  What is he hiding?

  "Lu Qian, you just promised me that you would tell me everything and not hide anything. Are you going to go back on your word so soon?" Ling Jingxu's face turned cold, her tone full of sarcasm: "You also claimed that you wanted to marry me and be good to me for the rest of my life. It was all just a pack of lies!"

  Lu Qian clenched his fists tightly, a flash of anxiety crossing his mind, but he said: "I didn't deceive you. Big Brother and Princess Changping have fallen in love with each other, and their hearts are filled with guilt towards you. He's too ashamed to write back to you, nor has he sent anyone to deliver a message to you. It's him who has wronged your deep feelings!"

  Ling Jingxian's eyes flashed with anger, her voice growing colder and sharper: "You're lying! You clearly know the truth, but you're intentionally deceiving me. Do you think I'm still the gentle, kind-hearted, weak, and easily deceived Ling Jingxian from my past life? Lu Qian, if you don't plan on telling the truth, get out of here right now! From now on, don't ever appear in front of me again!"

  Lu Qian did not expect Ling Jingxu to be so sharp, nor did he expect her to get so angry. He couldn't help but feel a little flustered and hastily took a step forward, grabbing Ling Jingxu's hand: "Ah-jing, listen to me..."
