Chapter 48 Sweetie

Luo Residence…

Luo Junfeng was in an utter surprise when the servants told him about the sudden arrival of Yu Chen. He was perplexed and he panicked for quite a while, ordering the servants to give their utmost best in serving this almighty guest.

When Luo Junfeng finally saw Yu Chen in the living room, his smile was so wide it reached his ears.

"I'm so honored that the great Mr. Yu is personally visiting me at my house." The middle aged man said as he reached out a hand for a handshake.

Yu Chen glanced at his hand but instead of taking it, he turned towards Luo Xiaolei, whom Luo Junfeng didn't even glance at.

"Your daughter, my girlfriend, brought me here because I have something to talk to you about, Mr. Luo." Yu Chen said as he held Luo Xiaolei's hand.

"G-girlfriend? Ohh, I see. My dear daughter didn't inform me that you two are already in such a relationship. I think she must just be shy about talking about her love life to an old man like me."

Luo Junfeng spoke like a normal father who was genuinely happy that his daughter had brought home a capable and mighty man. But it was too bad because his actions were already seen by Yu Chen in a completely different light, one that couldn't be coaxed nor changed by sweet words or fake pretenses.

"Mr. Luo, I came to talk to you about my and your daughter's engagement." Yu Chen didn't waste any more time and he spoke directly about their purpose for coming. Of course, Luo Junfeng was so shamelessly happy about what he heard that he was smiling like he was drugged, the entire time they talked. He didn't even ask about anything else and just agreed with everything that Yu Chen said like he was some puppet that didn't have his own mind.

Seeing him like this, Luo Xiaolei couldn't help but feel ashamed. Her father didn't even hide his shamelessness that he immediately talked about business as soon as the talk about their engagement was settled. This man was truly all about money and money and more money.

Gladly, Yu Chen didn't let Luo Junfeng go on talking.

"Mr. Luo, we can talk about that matter another time." He said and the man could only laugh and agree.

"Oh, that's right, that's right. My dear future son-in-law, I believe this day should be celebrated right now-"

"Father, Yu Chen actually came here to just talk about the engagement and you know he's a very busy person. He still has an important meeting he must attend now. Right? Sweetie?" Luo Xiaolei cut through his father's word as she grabbed Yu Chen's arm and looked meaningfully at him.

When Yu Chen nodded, Luo Junfeng looked disappointed but it seemed like the most important thing to him was the fact that his daughter was finally engaged to this person.

"I understand. Mr. Yu is definitely a busy person so please have your way then. Your business is your priority above all else, after all." Luo Junfeng said and after Yu Chen simply nodded at him, Luo Xiaolei quickly pulled him as she led him out, as if she was a mother dragging her son away from a certain demon, afraid that he might get corrupted. She didn't even notice that Yu Chen seemed to be in a daze. Well, she did not know that even now, the word she used to call him a while ago was actually still playing like music in Yu Chen's head. "Sweetie…"
