Su Wanwan put on her clothes and moved to her parents’ room.
The atmosphere in the room wasn’t good.
Both of them had grim expressions on their faces.
Seeing her daughter like this, Mother Su was both angry and heartbroken.
With a loud “Bang!”
She slapped the kang table so hard it trembled.
“Explain yourself. What exactly happened?”
How did her daughter end up in Battalion Commander Lu’s room for no reason?
What would people think of the Su family?
Those who didn’t know better might think they had deliberately set him up.
He had kindly escorted Huai’an home and stayed the night at their house yet something like this happened.
It was only because he had good manners and didn’t make a scene. Otherwise, if he had shouted about it, her daughter’s entire future would have been ruined.
“I…”
“Mom, I really didn’t mean to!”
“When I got up to use the toilet last night, I slipped and hit my head. When I woke up, I was still groggy and… and went into the wrong room…”
Su Wanwan felt wronged too.
If she had known that simply going to the bathroom would lead to transmigrating, she would’ve rather held it in to death than go.
It was too embarrassing.
There was no need to spell out the rest everyone knew what had happened afterward.
“What?”
“You fell?”
“Let Dad take a look!” Father Su pulled his youngest daughter over and examined her to see where she was hurt.
Hearing this, Mother Su also stepped forward anxiously to check.
“Oh my, what am I going to do with you? Look at the trouble you’ve caused!”
“Tsk tsk, such a big bump. Child’s father, go get the medicine box.”
Though she scolded Su Wanwan with her words, the concern in her eyes was obvious.
Lu Xiao had sharp eyes. At a glance, he saw the large swollen bump on the back of Su Wanwan’s head, with dried blood on it. It seemed she wasn’t lying.
It really was just an accident.
Lu Xiao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Thinking back carefully to the details of last night, he vaguely remembered only a pair of soft little hands constantly wandering over his abdomen.
It had made him burn with heat.
He had pushed away the mischievous hands, thinking he could get some proper sleep, but the other party changed tactics.
Warm and soft, gliding back and forth along the lines of his abdomen.
At the thought of it, every muscle in his body tensed.
No man could endure that.
At the time, he had thought he was simply having a sensual dream.
Numbed by alcohol, he had let down his guard and followed his instincts.
“You, honestly! You can even walk into the wrong room? Are those eyes under your eyebrows just for decoration?”
Mother Su gritted her teeth and poked her daughter’s forehead.
This silly girl this wasn’t a small matter. Her innocence was gone.
“Ah, that hurts!”
She had already hit her head, and after a night of… exertion, there wasn’t a single part of her body that didn’t ache.
Su Wanwan could barely stand and swayed backward.
Lu Xiao quickly caught her.
Seeing that his expression was no longer as cold as before, Mother Su quietly let out a sigh of relief.
What she had done just now was partly for Lu Xiao to see.
Her daughter had mistakenly entered the wrong room, and now the deed was done. The only solution was to find a way for Lu Xiao to accept her.
Otherwise, what would become of her daughter?
“Well… Xiao Lu, it’s Uncle and Auntie’s fault. We didn’t make proper arrangements, and this happened.”
Lu Xiao could also see that, under the circumstances, the best solution was marriage.
He hadn’t expected that the jokes in the army would one day come true.
Everyone in the unit knew that Su Huai’an had a beautiful younger sister whom he doted on dearly.
Whenever stipends and ration coupons were issued, Su Huai’an would send money home and use his tickets to exchange for all sorts of good things for his sister buying her fabric to make clothes and treats to enjoy.
The others would joke with him, telling him to bring his sister over so they could see her. Maybe one of them might even become his brother-in-law, bringing them closer.
“Uncle, Auntie, about this matter… I also bear responsibility.”
“If you agree, I’m willing to marry Su Wanwan. I’ll submit a marriage application as soon as I return.”
After all, in the end, he was the one who benefited.
The Su family were decent people. If they had been unreasonable, it would’ve been difficult to argue right from wrong in such a situation.
The girl was only nineteen; he was already twenty-six. There was nothing to hesitate about.
Hearing this, Father and Mother Su both smiled.
At least the outcome was good. Their daughter had found a good home.
Though she was their treasure, in the Lu family’s eyes, she might not be considered a match.
Their younger son had told them that Lu Xiao’s family was from the capital, with an extraordinary background.
They truly hadn’t intended to climb up socially. Big families had many rules; they had even worried their daughter might suffer.
But things had already come to this. They could only move forward.
Mother Su applied medicine to her daughter’s wound, then looked at Lu Xiao.
“Xiao Lu, you’ve seen our family’s situation. We have no other demands just one thing. Treat Wanwan well.”
As a woman, she knew that once a daughter married into another family, she would have to adapt to a new household. If her husband didn’t stand by her, how could she live well?
Lu Xiao was reliable whether from what her son had said, what she’d seen yesterday, or how he handled this matter, she could tell he was someone worthy of trust.
“Auntie, don’t worry. Since I’ve decided to marry, I intend to live a good life together.”
His family had also been urging him to settle down.
His gaze shifted to Su Wanwan.
The young girl was fair and lovely, with big round eyes as lively as a doll’s.
No wonder Su Huai’an and the rest of the Su family doted on her so much.
He hadn’t expected that he would end up becoming Su Huai’an’s brother-in-law.
When he first saw Su Wanwan, he hadn’t thought in that direction at all.
He had only marveled at how stunning she was.
He had even thought to himself that without a soldier brother at home, it would’ve been hard for her to protect herself.
There was quite an age gap between them. Su Wanwan was even younger than his own sister. He truly hadn’t considered it before.
“I don’t agree!”
When Su Wanwan saw that her parents and Lu Xiao had already settled the marriage just like that, she panicked.
She had just transmigrated, and now she was getting married?
This was way too fast.
