Just Discharged From the Military and Got Tied Down by A Cold Beauty

The joys and sorrows between people do not communicate with each other.

While Lu Xiao was pondering whether or not to pamper himself, Qin Youling had already begun to criticize him sternly over the phone.

"Grandpa, what time is it now, why haven't you gone to sleep? Don't you know the state of your own health?"

On the other end of the phone, the elder immediately began to assure her, "I'll sleep, I'll sleep right away, I'll go to bed immediately after the call."

Qin Youling hummed twice, "Alright, what's the matter?"

"Youling, Grandpa heard that you have a boyfriend?"

Qin Youling was slightly stunned, huh, the news sure travels fast.

It seemed that her uncles had not spared any effort to plant informants in the bar.

"Youling, tomorrow is Grandpa's birthday, and here's what I'm thinking."

"You bring your boyfriend over tomorrow, let Grandpa take a look."

"If the young man is decent, then you can get married early, so you can smoothly take over the family's authority."

"You know, Grandpa can't hold on for much longer."

"If you wait until Grandpa is gone, those good-for-nothing uncles of yours will probably stop considering family relations anymore."

Qin Youling opened her mouth and fell silent.

She didn't like being constrained, nor did she like the family infighting, which was why she moved out of the Qin Family Old Mansion.

Yet, Grandpa's greatest wish was for her to take over the Qin Family.

As Grandpa's health deteriorated day by day, she couldn't be heartless, nor could she bear to see Grandpa leave with regrets.

"I got it, Grandpa. I'll bring my boyfriend with me tomorrow," Qin Youling responded.

"Good, good! Then I'll see you tomorrow!"

After hanging up the phone, Qin Youling let out a deep breath, then turned to look at Lu Xiao.

Because of the posture, a gap had formed in her chest area, which Lu Xiao was staring intently at, almost as if he wanted to pop his eyeballs into it.

Qin Youling's face turned cold; men really were all the same, their brains filled with nothing but breasts.

"Have you looked enough? If you have, then get lost!"

Lu Xiao withdrew his gaze sulkily, what a pity.

Your call was way too quick; I was about to convince myself to act like a hooligan...

"I mainly like this pendant of yours," Lu Xiao said with a shrug.

Although he didn't succeed in acting like a hooligan, he was able to get a clearer look at the pendant.

The character "Yu" on Qin Youling's pendant was identical, in both stroke and style, to the "Yu" on his Jade Token, undoubtedly created by the same person.

"Get lost!" Qin Youling snorted coldly.

"Fine, we'll meet again if fate allows," Lu Xiao stood up ready to leave, he now had a clue and there was no need to rush.

"Wait a second!" Lu Xiao hadn't taken two steps when Qin Youling's voice called out again.

"What, do you want me to pretend to be your boyfriend and go back with you again?" Lu Xiao turned back and asked, he had heard everything Qin Youling said to her grandpa.

Qin Youling pursed her lips and gave Lu Xiao a deep look.

Although the bastard was somewhat lecherous and irritating to talk to, at least he was upfront about it, openly staring at her chest without any attempt to hide...

"Not a boyfriend, a husband! We're going to register for marriage first thing tomorrow morning!" Qin Youling's tone was firm.

Since she had already decided to fulfill Grandpa's wish and take over the Qin Family, she might as well go all the way.

Lu Xiao immediately shook his head; pretending to be your boyfriend is one thing, but registering for marriage, you must be joking!

"You heard it too, I can only take over the family by getting married."

"Wait until I secure my footing before I go for a divorce,"

"We can enter into a contract. Once divorced, you can receive twenty million," Qin Youling said.

Lu Xiao snorted, "Just forget it, even if I died of thirst or hunger, I wouldn't sell my body."

"Fifty million!"

"It's not about the money..."

"Eighty million!"

"Do you think having money is so great, huh?"

"One hundred million! And you like that pendant, don't you? I'll give that to you as well."

"Wife, here's my household registration book," Lu Xiao gave in.

It wasn't really about the money; before he enlisted, his master had given him a financial account with a staggeringly long string of numbers.

It was mainly for the face of that pendant, after all, it concerned his identity.

Hearing Lu Xiao agree, Qin Youling could not help but sigh in relief, "Fine, I'll go prepare the agreement. Once we sign it, we'll make sure our stories match. I don't want any slip-ups."

...

The next morning, at ten o'clock at the civil affairs bureau, Lu Xiao, holding the red booklet, felt like he was dreaming.

He had just been discharged from the military yesterday, and today he was being kept by a rich young lady.

"I am guilty, I deserve to die, I was once a soldier of steel, yet I was corrupted so quickly."

"Mumbling to yourself, what nonsense! Let's go, back to the old mansion," Qin Youling glanced at Lu Xiao and turned to walk towards the parking lot.

Half an hour later, the two had arrived at the Qin Family Old Mansion.

Qin Youling wore a light blue dress, while Lu Xiao had changed into a black suit.

"Spruce yourself up, you almost look decent," Qin Youling said with a slight raise of her eyebrows, glancing at Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao's appearance might not have stood out among handsome men, but his overall demeanor was excellent, clean and carrying with it a sense of determination.

Especially Lu Xiao's physique, set off by the suit, appeared all the more upright and imposing.

"You don't look bad either," he replied.

"Shut up!"

"Alright, wife, you look very pretty too," he said.

Qin Youling clenched her fist, regretting her decision from the night before - spending a hundred million to hire such an annoyance.

As they bantered, they had reached the entrance of the old mansion.

The entrance was bustling, and on both sides of the stately, heavy gate, attendants were arranged to register and welcome guests.

"Stop!" Just as they were about to enter, a shout of anger came from behind them.

Then, a young man around twenty years old approached rapidly, with an arrogant and haughty demeanor.

The attention of the surrounding guests was drawn by this sudden outcry.

"Isn't this the young miss of the Qin family?"

"What young miss of the Qin family? I heard her mother's tablet hasn't even been admitted into the Qin Family Ancestral Hall."

"If not for Old Sir Qin's insistence, she would probably have been expelled long ago."

"Keep your voice down, if Old Sir Qin heard you, your company might just cool down," said another.

Hearing the whispers around him, Lu Xiao glanced at Qin Youling, "Your situation seems to be worse than I imagined."

"Who are you, anyway? Do you have an invitation? Do you know where this is? Do you think just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can walk in here?" the youth pointed at Lu Xiao, completely ignoring Qin Youling, who was clinging to Lu Xiao's arm.
