Chapter 47: Blind Date (Part 2)
“Sorry for keeping you waiting,”
The coldness in Lu Miaohuan’s eyes dissipated a little, and she nodded slightly towards Lu Changsheng.
Just as Lu Changsheng had looked at her, she had also looked at him.
Whether or not it was due to her different mentality, she felt that Lu Changsheng looked much more handsome in person than she had imagined.
His features might not be very refined individually, but together they gave off a perfectly coordinated feeling, enhancing his overall appearance and making him very pleasing to the eye.
Coupled with Lu Changsheng’s gentle gaze and calm demeanor, she felt a sense of comfort, like being bathed in a warm spring breeze.
As a self-proclaimed “lover of beauty”, Lu Miaohuan had originally felt somewhat repulsed by the idea of marrying Lu Changsheng. But at this moment, she found herself thinking that marrying him might not be completely unacceptable.
Although Lu Changsheng was lacking in talent, with only a ninth-grade Spirit Root, his handsome appearance made up for it. He could be considered a combination of talent and looks.
The only drawback was that he had many wives.
However, in this regard, Lu Miaohuan was quite confident in herself. It wasn’t just confidence in her social status and background, but also in her own beauty and charm.
She had clearly caught the look that Lu Changsheng had just given her, and she felt a sense of pride in her heart.
“I’ve just arrived as well,”
Lu Changsheng said, noticing that the other party’s attitude was not as hostile as he had expected and feeling that the blind date could continue.
Lifting the teapot, he took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Lu Miaohuan and said, “I didn’t expect to meet Miss Miaohuan in this way again.”
“I apologize for my rudeness when we last met.”
Lu Changsheng said aloud, raising his teacup as if to toast.
“I didn’t expect you to still remember that incident.”
When Lu Changsheng mentioned the last incident, Lu Miaohuan raised her eyebrows lightly.
After all, the first time she met Lu Changsheng was not very pleasant.
The main reason was that Lu Changsheng’s behavior and reputation at that time made her have a bad impression.
“Of course I remember. How could I forget after seeing Miss Miaohuan’s incomparable elegance? This matter has always remained in my mind. Every time I think about it, I feel remorseful for my rudeness.”
Lu Changsheng said sincerely and started talking nonsense.
After all, Uncle Lu had said that this Miss Second had a somewhat arrogant temperament, but she was still relatively innocent.
Saying a few more good words and going along with her words would be enough.
If it was just that, Lu Changsheng was willing to do it for the sake of the mother of the child with the Sixth Spirit Root.
“I had forgotten about that incident a long time ago. I wasn’t in a good mood back then, so I spoke a bit harshly.”
Lu Miaohuan said, feeling a bit embarrassed when she saw Lu Changsheng’s sincere expression.
With a graceful gesture, she sat down and delicately sipped her tea.
With an icebreaker in place, the two of them began to chat.
During the conversation, Lu Changsheng felt that Lu Miaohuan’s personality was much better than he had imagined.
Her character was not bad at all, it was just that as the scion of a prestigious family, she was a bit reserved and preferred to let others take the initiative.
She also didn’t seem to smile much, which gave her face a constant touch of coldness.
In fact, she wasn’t as distant as she seemed. She just had an aura that kept people at a distance.
Outside the hut, Uncle Lu used his divine eavesdropping technique to eavesdrop on their conversation.
His face crinkled with laughter like a chrysanthemum as he listened.
In his heart, he thought that Lu Changsheng didn’t marry so many women for nothing; there must be something special about him.
However, he didn’t continue eavesdropping and obediently waited outside.
As far as he was concerned, if Lu Miaohuan was willing to continue the conversation with Lu Changsheng, then the matter was almost half done.
Inside the Bamboo Heart Cottage, Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaohuan sat across from each other, chatting over tea.
“There are a lot of interesting things in the mundane world, but I don’t know much about them,” Lu Changsheng said. “If Miss Miaohuan is interested, I am willing to accompany you to explore and see for yourself.”
“As for women, where else in the mundane world can one find such a heavenly figure as you?”
Lu Changsheng continued to flatter, but his tone was calm and his gaze was clear. Most of the time, his eyes didn’t even look at Lu Miaohuan.
Lu Changsheng wanted to marry Lu Miaohuan and have her bear children for him.
However, he couldn’t just flatter her like a sycophant. Besides, in his opinion, flattering a woman like Lu Miaohuan too much would actually be a negative thing.
Therefore, Lu Changsheng kept his cool. In the four years he had spent in the Lu family, he felt that his biggest improvement was in his attitude and demeanor.
“Did Miss Miaohuan forget that the first time I saw you, I was so shocked that I completely lost my composure?”
Lu Changsheng praised.
In the Lu family over the past four years, Lu Changsheng felt that his biggest improvement was in his attitude.
The beauty of time lies in its inevitable passage, spring flowers, autumn moon, summer, and winter snow.
When you blossom, the gentle breeze comes naturally. If your heart is serene, you will smile easily.
The system’s, the Immortal Grace Technique, his skills as a second-level talisman master, and the Nine Netherworld Hound-all of these things made Lu Changsheng feel like a blooming flower.
With a gentle breeze, bees and butterflies would naturally come and dance around him.
In addition, spending time and energy on a woman who was obtained by lowering his status, climbing higher, and flattering her would also affect the balance of his harem.
Lu Changsheng was not destined to spend most of his time and energy on one woman.
“At that time, I was with my sister. You found me breathtaking. Did you not feel the same when you saw my sister?”
Lu Miaohuan asked, her cool expression showing a hint of amusement as she crossed her legs provocatively.
Lu Changsheng stood up slightly, picked up the teapot and filled her cup.
At the same time, his gaze shifted downward, glancing at her crossed legs as if to tell her why he found her breathtaking.
This action didn’t make Lu Miaohuan feel insulted; instead, she felt a hint of joy in her heart.
From a young age, her older sister, Lu Miaoge, had always overshadowed her, and most of the elders in the family praised her. Even her everyday clothes and appearance were often commented on.
At this moment, Lu Changsheng’s admiring gaze made her feel a sense of affirmation.
“Miss Lu Miaoge is indeed as stunning as a heavenly being,” Lu Changsheng continued. “I have had the honor of meeting Miss Lu Miaoge two or three times before, but I have never felt the same palpitations as I did when I saw you, Miss Miaohuan.”
“I remembered a line of poetry I had heard before, once the golden wind and jade dew meet, they are better than countless people in the world”
“When I saw you, Miss Miaohuan, I had that feeling. Even though it was just a brief encounter, it felt more beautiful than countless other moments.”
Lu Changsheng said sincerely as he looked at Lu Miaohuan.
“Once the golden wind and jade dew meet, they are better than countless people in the world.”
“This poem is so good. Did you hear it in the secular world?”
Lu Miaohuan’s beautiful eyes lit up, and a slight smile appeared on her cold face, blooming like a lotus.
“Huh? This second young lady actually likes poetry?”
Lu Changsheng was a little surprised.
But he remembered what Lu Bo had said, that this Miss didn’t care much about cultivation and was only in her twenties. It was reasonable for her to enjoy such things.
“Yes, this is a line of poetry I have heard before in the mundane world. The whole poem goes like this: ‘In the delicate clouds, love is played; through the flying stars, grievances are conveyed’. But I haven’t read much, and I’m not sure what it means. I just felt it was appropriate and suited my mood at the time.”
“This poem also has a story behind it. If Miss Miaohuan is interested, I can tell you,” Lu Changsheng said with a smile.
“Sure.”
Lu Miaohuan nodded, her delicate chin lifting slightly.
In this way, the two chatted for more than an hour.
During the conversation, Lu Miaohuan was very happy, and she also liked Lu Changsheng a little more, and she was willing to marry Lu Changsheng.
However, her pride and inner arrogance made her say with a purse of her lips, “Lu Changsheng, I have enjoyed talking to you today. If you can agree to some of my requests, I will agree to marry you.”
“Miss Miaohuan, please go ahead.”
Lu Changsheng nodded with a smile as soft as jade.
“If I marry you, I must be your main wife. And after you marry me, you cannot take any other wives or concubines. As for having children, you cannot force me to. And…”
Lu Miaohuan suppressed her shy and fluttering heart, her expression cool and reserved as she listed her conditions.
“GG!”
When he heard each condition, Lu Changsheng mentally gave up.
He immediately knew that this blind date was doomed.
In reality, Lu Changsheng didn’t find these conditions unreasonable.
They were just the desires of a young girl who focused on the spiritual aspects of love rather than the materialistic ones.
If Lu Changsheng were just an ordinary person or an ordinary cultivator who wanted to live a peaceful life, these conditions wouldn’t be a problem.
But with the Many Children, Many Blessings system, Lu Changsheng was destined to be someone with a big heart who couldn’t give up one for many.
Although he could agree at first and then reconsider later, Lu Changsheng didn’t want to deceive their feelings or resort to such tricks.
Besides, he was still under the influence of the Lu family, and once he agreed, he would have to follow through.
“I understand Miss Miaohuan’s intentions.” Lu Changsheng said apologetically. “However, please allow me some time to consider your terms before I give you an answer.”
“You need to consider?”
Lu Miaohuan was taken aback and found this somewhat unbelievable.
During their conversation, Lu Changsheng had seemed very fond of her.
Considering that she was willing to marry him, she expected him to be overjoyed and ecstatic. But now, Lu Changsheng was saying that he needed time to think?
What did he mean?
Was she not good enough for him?
Her proud heart couldn’t bear such a complaint.
Suddenly, Lu Miaohuan’s cool and stunning expression turned icy cold, like an ancient iceberg. She stood up abruptly, her footsteps echoing as she briskly left the bamboo hut.
Seeing Lu Miaohuan’s graceful departure, Lu Changsheng shook his head slightly. Such beauty, but he was not destined to enjoy it for the time being.
“Miss, what’s wrong?”
Lu Bo, who was waiting outside the small building, was startled when he saw Lu Miaohuan walking out with a frosty face and walking away quickly.
He was confused.
Didn’t they just have a good conversation?
He immediately rushed out to catch up with her.
