“Then let me tell you slowly, okay?” Lu Si looked at her almost pleadingly.

Mei Feng’s words were still ringing in Mei Shu’s ears.

Mei Shu fell silent, unusually refraining from using words to provoke him. Instead, she took a step back, sat on the other side, and awkwardly said, “Well, go ahead then. I’m in a hurry to go back to sleep.”

Lu Si chuckled and sat opposite her obediently. “Shen Yuan…”

As soon as he said this name, he keenly noticed that Mei Shu’s body suddenly stiffened.

Lu Si smiled helplessly. “I’m not dating her tonight. I ate with her because of my grandfather’s orders.”

In the end, he couldn’t help but sigh. “I was engaged to Shen Yuan, but that was just a joke of my elders when I was young. My grandfather and her Grandpa secretly agreed. Later, the two families didn’t contact each other much, so no one mentioned this matter again. 1 didn’t tell you because even I forgot that there was such a thing.”

Mei Shu listened quietly, hiding in the shadows, cold and distant, refusing to expose any emotions to him.

Lu Si pretended to move a short distance to her unintentionally and continued to explain, “I just made a deal with her. Although Grandpa didn’t force me to marry Shen Yuan, he heard something from Lu Yan and seems to be biased against you. The Shen family is in a critical moment and needs connections the most.”

“Shen Yuan promised me that as long as 1 accompanied her through this act and let the Shen family survive this crisis, she would personally explain to my grandfather that she didn’t want to marry me. And she would also help me solve Lu Yan. Then our families will have nothing to do with each other. She won’t hinder the two of us from being together in the future. Grandpa insisted that I go to dinner with her tonight. Can you accept my explanation?”

Mei Shu didn’t expect Lu Yan to be involved.

She frowned and said, “How is Shen Yuan going to deal with Lu Yan?”

Lu Si was stunned for a moment. He smiled and pursed his lips into a straight line. “Lu Yan told my grandfather about you and him being childhood sweethearts. He even said that he had a crush on you. Under such circumstances, Grandpa won’t agree to us being together. After all, he is my nephew. I can’t be too ruthless, so it’s just right for Shen Yuan to solve him.”

Mei Shu understood and her face turned cold. “Don’t tell me that you asked Shen Yuan to deceive Lu Yan’s feelings.”

Lu Si knew that she had misunderstood him. While explaining in a panic, he sat beside Mei Shu. “It’s not like that. Shen Yuan has no interest in Lu Yan at all. Although I don’t know what she plans to do, I’m sure of one thing. As long as Shen Yuan still wants the Shen family to develop safely in Lin City, she will never offend the Lu family. My sister-in-law is not easy to fool.”

Thinking of Lu Yan’s mother, Mei Shu was slightly relieved.

She was so strict and had high expectations for her son. She probably wouldn’t let anyone hurt Lu Yan easily.

It turned out that Lu Si and Shen Yuan were publicly together just to make the outside world think that the Lu family was supporting the Shen family and give the Shen family a chance to make a comeback.

Mei Shu couldn’t bring herself to ask Lu Si to give up this deal.

Because Shen Yuan had once done her a favor.

Even if Shen Yuan really liked Lu Si and came for him, Mei Shu couldn’t find a reason to drive Shen Yuan away.

After the matter was explained, Mei Shu’s tense shoulders relaxed.

She finally found that Lu Si had sat so close to her when she wasn’t paying attention. She immediately moved to the side in dissatisfaction and scolded, “Then why do you say it’s for me? It’s clearly for yourself!”

“Yes.” Lu Si responded quickly without any intention of retorting. “Of course it’s for me. 1 don’t want you to face so many obstacles from your family after you get together with me. If 1 like you, 1 will pave all the roads for you and then wait for the day you agree to be with me.”

Mei Shu’s eyes suddenly widened, and her heart was beating fast. It was as if someone had set off fireworks in the sky. They were dazzling, but they were not as attractive as the person in front of her.

“I can wait for that day, right?” Lu Si couldn’t be any closer. Their breaths turned the narrow air moist and hot.

“I…” Mei Shu’s heart was beating wildly, and he was lost for words.

“Cough, cough.” A light cough interrupted the ambiguous atmosphere between the two.

Lu Si looked back unhappily, only to see Mei Yan and Mei Jing glaring at him.

Mei Yan took a few steps into Mei Shu’s arms, put his arms around her neck, and pushed Lu Si away. “Sister is mine! You big liar, don’t even think about abducting my sister!”

Lu Si wasn’t angry. He flicked his forehead with a smile. “Little guy, do you know what abducting means?”

“I know! It means to abduct women!” Mei Yan glared at him, fearing that this big liar would sell his sister away when he wasn’t paying attention!
