Chapter 1396: Was her father trying to destroy her?

As Lin Chen spoke, he glanced at Lu Yunfan and continued, “If you agree to our marriage, then I promise to dote on her and won’t betray her after we get married. I’ll give her all the loyalty and trust she deserves in a marriage. I have no experience in love or marriage, but I’ll fulfill and satisfy each of her requests.”

“But will you love her?” Lu Yunhang frowned.

“I’ll work hard to love her…” Lin Chen wasn’t lying about this. Since he was getting married to Lu Yunfan, he would work hard to do this. Furthermore, he really wanted to do it.

Lu Yunfan looked at Lin Chen, feeling touched…

Brother Lin Chen actually said he was willing to work hard to love her. To Lu Yunfan, this was the deepest hope in her heart.

When Lu Yunfan’s father heard this, he furrowed his brows and relaxed after a long while…

Although he felt uncomfortable about Lin Chen not being in love with his daughter, but on the bright side, at least Lin Chen didn’t lie to them. He was honest…

It also meant that Lin Chen had no ulterior motives in marrying Lu Yunfan!

If Lin Chen came today and said that he loved Lu Yunfan, Lu Yunfan’s father would consider it even more carefully.

Judging from her daughter’s attitude towards Lin Chen, it seemed like she really wouldn’t marry him unless he was the one…

Aside from Lin Chen not being in love with his daughter, there was nothing else to be picky about with Lin Chen being their son-in-law!

However, Lu Yunfan’s father always hoped that his daughter’s marriage would be blissful!

Forget it, at least letting his daughter and Lin Chen get married was his daughter’s wish.

However, as the father who doted on his daughter, he felt… very uncomfortable.

Lin Chen’s words made Lu Yunhang sink into silence…

On one hand, because of Lin Chen’s honesty, his father had let down his guard against Lin Chen.

On the other hand, he was worried that his younger sister would marry Lin Chen because of Lin Chen’s honesty.

He didn’t fall for her, he just liked her…

“Since you only like her, why don’t the two of you spend some more time together? There’s no need to get married so quickly. What if you meet a girl you’ve truly fallen in love with? If that happens, and you’re already married to Fanfan, wouldn’t that be unfair to Fanfan? Why don’t… the two of you get engaged first? We’ll hold the marriage back a year. If you can fall in love with Fanfan within a year, then both of you can get married. But if you don’t… then forget it.”

After some consideration, Lu Yunfan’s father said.

Lu Yunfan’s eyes widened as she looked at her father. Was her father trying to destroy her?

She would take down Lin Chen no matter what!

“I don’t agree!” Lu Yunfan rebutted his father. “Dad… my greatest wish in this lifetime is to get married to Brother Lin Chen! Regardless of how Brother Lin Chen and I will be in the future, I don’t want to have a lifetime of regrets. Even if… even if we end up divorcing further down the road, I still want to get married to him now!”

Lu Yunfan’s mother sat silently by the side. To be honest, she was really conflicted!

She hoped that her daughter would be happy, but she was also furious that Lin Chen had proposed a marriage before he even fell in love with her daughter.

“Marriage isn’t child’s play!” Lu Yunfan’s father insisted.

“But I have to be responsible for Brother Lin Chen! I’ve already done something to Brother Lin Chen…” Lu Yunfan said in one go.

Lin Chen was speechless.

Lin Chen really didn’t intend to reveal such a private matter.

“Pfft…” Lu Yunhang spat out the tea he had just drank.

His eyes widened as he glanced at Lu Yunfan, then at Lin Chen. He felt that Lin Chen wasn’t that kind of person, so he said, “Can we not speak without thinking and say anything just to get married?”

“But it’s true!” Lu Yunfan rebutted with a frown.

“Stop talking nonsense! How can a grown man like Lin Chen be… forced by you? Your little arms and legs!”

Lin Chen was a little restless and decided to marry Lu Yunfan. This was a very important reason.

Although Lin Chen had rejected her half-heartedly yesterday, perhaps because it was the first time in his life he had tasted intimacy, he couldn’t restrain himself for a moment…

Lin Chen clearly understood the matters between men and women. After all, he used to study medicine.

Lin Chen had acted at the heat of the moment last night, and the two of them didn’t have any preventive measures. So he was worried about Lu Yunfan’s pregnancy. After some deliberate thought, he felt that he should marry Lu Yunfan, just in case.

Originally, he had set the half-a-year condition… Lin Chen wanted to make use of this half a year to fall in love with Lu Yunfan. He wanted to give Lu Yunfan a fair chance and time to consider him carefully!

After all, to Lin Chen… as long as Lu Yunfan didn’t change her mind, Lin Chen was very willing to spend the rest of his life with a cheerful and lovely lady like Lu Yunfan.

Lu Yunfan’s father eagerly waited for Lin Chen to deny it, but Lin Chen didn’t deny it.

Alright, their Lu family wasn’t a feudal family either. It was normal for a couple to do stuff during their date…

After all, it wasn’t ancient times. Men wouldn’t insist that the other party was a pure and innocent virgin.

What should he do? His daughter was determined to marry, and the other party also wanted to marry his daughter and promised to work hard to love her.

Lu Yunfan’s father took out his pills and ate a few more. He said, “I suggest getting engaged first. If you end up getting pregnant and have a child… then, by all means, get married! I don’t have any objections! And if you don’t, it means the heavens are giving you two a chance to consider this carefully! But… if the two of you are so determined to get married today, I won’t say anything either! I can only say this to Lin Chen from a father’s standpoint. If you don’t treat our Fanfan well, or if you betray our Fanfan, making us sad, or if Fanfan comes back and shed a tear because of you, our Lu family and your Lin family can never stand on equal footing!”

These words were very heavy…

“Dad!” Lu Yunfan was afraid that her father would scare Lin Chen, so she bit her lower lip and pouted.

“A girl being so aggressive…” Lu Yunfan’s father shook his head. “Even if you get married to Fanfan, our Lu Corporation won’t have any business dealings with your Lin Group! There’s no benefit! I’ll put it here, Lin Chen, so think it through clearly. If you really insist on marrying my daughter, and it gets out of hand in the future… By then, even if Fanfan pleads for mercy, it’ll be useless!”

The Lu family was more powerful than the Lin family. This was for sure!

Lu Yunfan’s father looked like an honest man, but he was a man of his words and had a good reputation in business.

Lin Chen nodded. “I’ve thought it through very clearly…”

“Also, in order to prevent you from getting a divorce after getting married, we won’t hold a wedding. The fewer people know about it, the better! When… when you fall in love with Fanfan, you can hold the wedding! Do you agree?” Lu Yunfan’s father asked.

Lu Yunfan nodded vigorously. “I agree!”

Lin Chen nodded. “I’ll do as you wish!”

Lu Yunfan’s father felt stifled. Do as he wished…? It was only his wish clearly because he was forced into a corner!
