A Family of Hopeless Romantics, Except for the Evil Little Junior Brother
Chapter 188: You Can Only Be Mine

“I want to delay the engagement with Senior Brother Lu.”

Su Wan turned her gaze to Lu Zhaoyao, seeking his opinion.

Judging from Lu Zhaoyao’s expression, he clearly had no idea about this at all.

“Lu... Junior Brother?”

Lu Zhaoyao’s cold voice rang out, “Then delay it. Everything should be for the sake of Su Mu’s cultivation.”

Su Mu nodded. “Sister, I’ll return to the cave dwelling first.”

From beginning to end, she never looked at Lu Zhaoyao again.

Lu Zhaoyao frowned slightly as he watched Su Mu’s departing figure.

Su Wan also looked at her sister in confusion.

Why does it feel like she suddenly became a different person?

“..........”

A few months later, Su Mu came out of seclusion.

Her swordsmanship had advanced another level.

Su Mu, carrying her sword, walked along the back mountain of Little Bamboo Peak.

Suddenly, a dog’s bark caught her attention, and then a green-robed youth ran over.

“Senior Sister~”

The youth called out loudly.

Su Mu looked at him, slightly stunned.

It was her Little Junior Brother, Meng Ting.

He had always liked her.

But Su Mu had always treated him like her own younger brother.

On the day Su Mu was to marry Lu Zhaoyao.

After Lu Zhaoyao heard that Cui Wanwan had entered the Demon Suppression Tower, he immediately descended into darkness.

His first sword strike was aimed to kill Su Mu.

It was Meng Ting who took that fatal blow for her.

In the end, Little Junior Brother died protecting her.

Now, looking at Meng Ting, Su Mu showed a slight smile.

“Senior Sister, I heard you came out of seclusion. How was it? Did it go smoothly?”

Su Mu nodded.

“Senior Sister, I heard...”

“What did you hear this time?”

“I heard your engagement with Senior Brother Lu has been delayed,” Meng Ting said cautiously.

Su Mu nodded again.

Meng Ting looked at his Senior Sister in confusion.

“Did you have a fight with Senior Brother Lu?”

“No, it’s just... I’ve thought it through. Instead of forcing it, it’s better to let go. I want to cancel the engagement with Senior Brother Lu,” Su Mu said truthfully.

Meng Ting was greatly shocked. He never expected that one day he’d hear such words from Senior Sister Su Mu.

Meng Ting suddenly smiled.

“What are you smiling about?” Su Mu asked.

Meng Ting shook his head. “I told you before, even if Senior Brother Lu doesn’t want you, I will. I’ll make sure you’re the happiest woman in the whole world.”

“It’s not that he doesn’t want me. It’s that I don’t want him!”

“Right, right, it’s you who don’t want him,” Meng Ting quickly corrected himself.

Su Mu smiled and looked at Meng Ting.

She made up her mind.

In this life, I won’t give to those who don’t love me.

I’ll be good to those who love me and make them happy.

“..........”

“Cancel the engagement!?”

Lu Zhaoyao was cold as frost.

“Why?”

Su Mu shook her head. “Senior Brother Lu, after spending time together, I feel the two of us aren’t suitable.”

“Not suitable, and you say this only now!?”

Su Mu laughed. “Senior Brother Lu, you’ve said more today than ever before. But all the words we’ve ever spoken together don’t even match what you said to Junior Sister Cui in one day.”

“What do you mean by that? You’re canceling the engagement just because of this!?” Lu Zhaoyao said coldly.

“Isn’t that enough? Look at the way she looks at you. Senior Brother, I’ve never seen you look at me like that. Since you like her, I’ll let you go.

From today on, our engagement is void. We’re just brother and sister now, how about that?”

“Enough!!”

Lu Zhaoyao’s eyes widened in fury. He suddenly raised his right hand and struck out violently.

In an instant, an overwhelming aura roared out.

“Boom rumble rumble...”

In the distance, an ancient tree instantly shattered into countless fragments and dust, scattering down like rain.

The wind brushed past Su Mu’s hair.

Su Mu didn’t move, calmly looking at Lu Zhaoyao.

“Senior Brother Lu, from this day forth, our engagement is null and void.”

“You think this is child’s play? An engagement can be made or broken just like that?”

Lu Zhaoyao roared.

“I’m telling you, Su Wan, if you are mine one day, then you’ll be mine for life!!!

In this life and the next, you can only marry me!”

Lu Zhaoyao grabbed Su Mu’s collar tightly. The distance between them instantly closed to just inches apart.

Their lips were almost touching, and they could clearly feel each other’s breath.

Su Mu only felt a burning heat rushing at her like a tide.

It was Lu Zhaoyao’s rapid and fiery breath, spraying unreservedly onto her cheeks.

In that moment, time seemed to freeze.

Su Mu’s eyes widened, completely unprepared for what came next.

Lu Zhaoyao suddenly lunged forward and kissed her hard.

The kiss came so fast, so fiercely, that Su Mu was completely stunned.

Lu Zhaoyao’s kiss was filled with overwhelming power and possessiveness, like a stormy wave crashing fiercely against Su Mu’s defenses.

Su Mu was shocked.

She never thought Lu Zhaoyao would kiss her.

In her memory, Lu Zhaoyao had never been the type to initiate intimacy.

Once when she held his hand, he beat her with a wooden sword in return.

But now, Lu Zhaoyao actually kissed her on his own.

Su Mu’s body went limp, almost collapsing into Lu Zhaoyao’s arms.

“Huff huff.....”

A long while later.

Su Mu’s face was flushed, and she seemed to have no strength left in her body.

Lu Zhaoyao shoved her hard. “I’m telling you, Su Mu, you can only be mine, do you understand?”

Su Mu didn’t answer, seemingly still in a daze from the kiss just now.

She looked up blankly, meeting Lu Zhaoyao’s eyes.

Lu Zhaoyao clenched his teeth and kissed her again.

This time, he even bit her lip and drew blood.

Then he turned and walked away without looking back.

Su Mu licked the wound on her lip.

She stumbled back to her cave dwelling in a daze.

Lu Zhaoyao... still loves me, right?

He still loves me.

Su Mu closed her eyes, and scene after scene flashed through her mind.

All of them were of Lu Zhaoyao kissing her.

Su Mu couldn’t help but lick her lips.

That’s right, that kiss didn’t lie.

He still loves me. From beginning to end, he never stopped loving me. I misunderstood him.

Heaven has given me a second chance, a chance to change things.

That’s right. But how do I change?

.......How did the tragedy happen?

Su Mu thought back.

On the wedding day, Cui Wanwan heard she and Lu Zhaoyao were getting married.

So she wanted to die and entered the Demon Suppression Tower.

Then I just need to stop her, right?

Senior Brother Lu wouldn’t turn dark either.

Yes! That’s right!

As long as I stop Cui Wanwan from entering the Demon Suppression Tower, the tragedy won’t happen again.

Su Mu smiled.

I’ve been too extreme. Heaven gave me a chance to be reborn so I could prevent the tragedy.

Thinking of this, Su Mu suddenly felt at ease.

She let out a breath and murmured to herself.

“That’s right, I was reborn! I’m going to change this tragic fate. I can do it.”

“..........”

Silver Sword Peak, beneath the straw hut.

Li Xuanxiao:

Old Li snapped to attention.

Just now... I think I heard “reborn”!?

“........”
