Ace of the Dragon Division

Lan Ting was putting on makeup while Lin Chuxue was clipping on her wedding headset. Auntie Lan said embarrassedly, “I didn’t want to have a marriage ceremony at first, and we could have just been satisfied with the marriage certificate. However, he insisted on having a ceremony. What a shy thing to say.”

“There is nothing that gives a woman more happiness than when she gets married. How can we just rush one out? Auntie, you’re a strong businesswoman, and you’re afraid of this?” Lin Chuxue laughed.

Auntie Lan laughed bitterly. “But I’m forty years old, and you don’t know what kind of people those guests will be when the time comes. You said Zhou Zhen is at least the third leading soldier of the Zhou Family, then his wife should be someone younger. How can it be an old woman like me?”

“Who said you’re old?” Lin Chuxue rolled her eyes. “Was it Zhou Zhen who dared to say that about you? I will tell Xu Cheng.”

“Don’t.” Auntie Lan smiled. “I’m not unwilling to marry Zhou Zhen, because I also believe that he really likes me. It’s just that it feels a bit odd for me to wear this dress at my age when so many people will be there.”

“You’re scared and nervous, that’s totally normal. It’s your first time, so this is probably premarital syndrome.” Lin Chuxue smiled. “Don’t be afraid, Auntie. I haven’t even officially worn a wedding dress to church with Xu Cheng yet, but if I were you, I would be nervous too. I was just thinking about how one day, Xu Cheng can propose to me and then make up for it properly by throwing me a romantic wedding.”

At this point, Lin Chuxue raised her head fantasizing about giving her hand to Xu Cheng in a vintage-style church.

“Young Master has never proposed to you?” Auntie Lan asked in surprise.

Lin Chuxue gritted her teeth. “Forget about that guy who doesn’t know how to be romantic. It was my father who forced me to marry him in the first place, and he actually rejected my father! It makes me mad just thinking about it; if he doesn’t make up a wedding for me, then don’t expect me to carry his children!”

Auntie Lan looked seriously at Lin Chuxue. “That’s not possible, the young master is the only heir of the Xu family, and he has to have more children. How can he not?”

“Eh yah.” Lin Chuxue felt shy. “I’m envious of you wearing the wedding dress because I want to wear one too.”

Right at this moment.

A lady in her thirties with a nice body figure, a pretty face, and a little bit of charm walked into the studio. She then put her hands on her waist as she looked around and saw Lan Ting, who was sitting in front of the mirror. She rushed over and said, “So you are the one. I couldn’t find you for the longest time. It’s you who stole my Zhou Zhen away, and now you even want to marry him? There is no way!”

When Lin Chuxue saw her trying to pull Auntie Lan’s wedding dress, she shook off her hand and asked, “Who are you?”

This woman had a fancy watch and a Hermes bag in her hand, her clothes were expensive as well; she seemed like a woman from a rich family. Lin Chuxue could tell how she was and what her background was just from her appearance.

At this time, Zhou Zhen, who was also trying on clothes inside, came out from the dressing room and saw this woman. He looked very unhappy as he said, “Miss Ai Jia, why are you here to make trouble? I hope you don’t take our tolerance of your behavior for granted.”

Zhou Zhen came over and whispered in Lan Ting’s ear, explaining, “She’s the daughter of the owner of the biggest jewelry company in Yanjing. She likes me, but I don’t know if this was her father’s idea. I was never interested in her, and I’m already this age. If I wanted to be with her then I would have already done so, right? Lan Ting, don’t misunderstand me.”

Lan Ting glared at Zhou Zhen. “Why are you so nervous that you hurried to explain to me? I didn’t ask you.”

Zhou Zhen smacked his mouth. “I was afraid that you won’t agree to marry me again, it’s not easy. During this period, this woman was asking everyone if they know about you. Don’t worry, I’ll handle this matter.”

The woman named Ai Jia looked at Zhou Zhen and questioned. “Zhou Zhen, you know that I like you and have been waiting for you, but you actually like such an old woman?”

Zhou Zhen: “I’m also old! I’m just two years older than Lan Ting, so it’s just right.”

Ai Jia pointed at Lan Ting to try to humiliate her and said, “She’s an old woman, she doesn’t have a body as good as mine, and her face isn’t as good as mine. I’ve checked and all she has is money, do you like money? You must like money. Well, my family has money too, and my family’s money would be all yours if we get married because I’m the only daughter.”

Zhou Zhen said, “Ai Jia, I’m telling you, I’m looking for a wife, not a lover! I want to have a wife with whom I can live without a generation gap. Also, you’re thirty now, but when you reach your forties, you may not be as good-looking as my wife.”

Auntie Lan rolled her eyes at Zhou Zhen and she appeared to be calm as she laughed inside quietly.

Lin Chuxue laughed secretly beside them as she was worried that Zhou Zhen was only marrying her for political reasons, and that they had no emotional bond. Xu Cheng was also worried, so he asked Lin Chuxue to come over and check it out, but now she felt like these two did have something going on.

Ai Jia became pissed off with her eyes almost spitting fire. She didn’t think that her crush would look down at her as well, and she suddenly took out a toner bottle from her Hermes bag, that actually contained sulfuric acid.

She unscrewed it and threw it towards Lan Ting.

Zhou Zhen reacted quickly and jumped directly on Lan Ting to cover her, but the acid splattered on his face instead. He began rolling on the ground and gritting his teeth, crying miserably.

Lan Ting was shocked. “Zhou!”

The staff came running right over, and Lin Chuxue pushed Ai Jia back, kicking the sulfuric acid cosmetics bottle away. She immediately called 911.

Lan Ting sobbed as she held onto Zhou Zhen and shouted, “Zhou hang in there, the paramedics will be here soon! Why did you block it for me!”

Half of Zhou Zhen’s face was so burnt that smoke was coming off from it, and he was so in pain that his whole face turned red. He gritted his teeth after seeing Lan Ting crying like that and said, “A woman’s face is more important than a man’s, it’s better I get hurt than you.”

Lan Ting didn’t know whether to cry or laugh, so she hugged Zhou Zhen tightly and said, “I’m willing to marry you!”

Lin Chuxue held down Ai Jia who seemed to be regretting it already and said to her, “As long as you meet the right person at the right time, no matter how old you are, it’s never too late! You claim to want to win over Uncle Zhou’s heart, but what else do you have besides your body and face? The most important foundation of a relationship is your heart. I used to think that with my appearance and figure, every man in the world is obligated to treat me as a treasure, but then I was constantly hurt by them. In fact, no matter how beautiful the woman is, there’s a period to that, because after her youth, the only thing you can use to win over a man is with your heart. Do not think that you are the one playing them, because in the end, you’ll end up with nothing if you don’t treat them with your heart!”

This was Lin Chuxue’s conclusion of her and Xu Cheng’s relationship. Therefore, she loved Xu Cheng with all her heart and strength!
