The aroma of delicious food filled the room, but neither of them had the desire to eat.

Hearing Lu An's question, Dong Jie was startled at first, then looked up at Lu An. Her face was very red, she bit her lower lip slightly, looking hesitant and not knowing what to do.

Moreover, this appearance is obviously not fake, her character is such that she is introverted and even a little cowardly.

Seeing Dong Jie's confused look, Lu An smiled and said softly, "Young lady, just say it, I won't be angry."

Hearing Lu An's words, Dong Jie glanced at Lu An again. The pressure seemed to be relieved. After thinking for a while, she spoke softly and said, "Dad... wants me to marry you."

Lu An's eyes narrowed when he heard this, but that was all, there was no big surprise.

He had just thought of it. Otherwise, even if he valued himself, he could just ask the housekeeper to deliver something to him. Why would he need to use his daughter? If he couldn't guess such an obvious hint, he wouldn't be alive today.

However, Lu An noticed that when Dong Jie said this, there was a hint of sadness in his eyes. And this sadness was not just because he didn't want to get married, but there seemed to be other reasons.

"What does that girl mean?" Lu An asked.

Dong Jie's face turned redder, lowered her head, and said softly, "I have no objection."

Lu An was stunned again when he heard this. He could clearly see that Dong Jie was not willing at all, and asked strangely, "But I can see that you don't like me at all."

"No, the young master is a very talented person... It's not that Dong Jie doesn't like the young master, it's just..." Dong Jie explained quickly, with a bit of panic and struggle in her eyes.

"Girl, it's okay to say it." Lu An looked at Dong Jie's appearance and said.

"It's just..." Dong Jie lowered her head and said, as if biting her lip to bleed, "I have a sweetheart..."

When Lu An heard this, he was immediately shocked again. This was not because the other party liked someone else. He asked, "You obviously have a sweetheart, why do you want to marry me again?"

"Marriage should be at the discretion of parents, right?" Dong Jie looked at Lu An with some confusion and asked.

"..."

Lu An

Hearing this, his brows furrowed slightly. He looked at Dong Jie, and there was no hint of joking on her face. This idea was really deeply ingrained in her heart, and she had no doubt whether it was right or wrong.

Lu An also knows that arranged marriages are very common on the mainland. It can be said that marriages in all the countries he knows are like this. And all of this is caused by some traditional teachings. These teachings stipulate that polygamy is allowed and stipulate that

Marriage is subject to parents, stipulates that men are superior and women are inferior, and even regulates the legality of slaves.

Just like no one thinks there is anything wrong with the existence of slaves, the same is true for arranged marriages. That's why Dong Jie obeys his parents so much and is willing to marry him even if he has a sweetheart.

It's just... Lu An doesn't want to care about it, and he can't. It's too difficult to convince Dong Jie to give up this idea, just like it's hard to make a person give up a certain understanding. What's more, Dong Jie probably thinks that he is right,

And deny his view.

I saw Lu An take a deep breath, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "Thank you for your love, girl. It's just that I have a sweetheart, so I can't get married to her. I hope she will convey this to the president."

Dong Jie was startled when he heard this, then looked a little anxious and said, "You can marry many wives, and I can be your concubine."

This is what Dong Hao ordered his daughter to do before letting her come. Dong Hao thought that an outstanding young man like Lu An would probably have already made an appointment to get married, and even had a wife. She could also be a concubine. It was Dong Hao who

Hao ordered.

If you can win over such a talented young man, what does it matter if you let your daughter grow up young?

However, Lu An was startled. He looked at Dong Jie's anxious look, as if he was asking himself what was wrong with her.

Lu An took a breath, looked at Dong Jie and said softly, "Miss Dong, some people like polygamy, but some people only want to be monogamous. I will only have one wife and will not marry any more.

This will never change."

After hearing what Lu An said, Dong Jie obviously expressed

Qing was stunned and looked at Lu An in confusion. Lu An did not continue the discussion on this topic, but picked up the chopsticks and said, "Let's eat. I have to study after eating."

Afterwards, Lu An started eating by himself and said no more.

Dong Jie looked at Lu An in confusion. Although she was very introverted and weak, she also knew that many men liked her. She originally thought she would be the one for the young man in front of her, but when things turned out like this, she

Unexpected.

But, if this is the case, how should I explain it to my father?

Seeing that Lu An was not interested in continuing, Dong Jie did not dare to say anything more. She could only pick up the chopsticks and eat little by little. She did not say another word until both of them finished eating.

Finally, after both of them finished eating, Lu An looked at Dong Jie and said, "Thank you for the treat, miss. I still want to study, so I'll drop you off not far away."

At this time, the maid had also walked in from the outside and packed everything. Dong Jie looked at Lu An, saluted and said, "My dear, take your leave."

After saying this, Dong Jie took the maid and walked out. However, when she just reached the threshold, there was a sudden sound from behind.

"Miss Dong."

Dong Jie paused, turned around and looked back, and found Lu An looking at her.

Lu An frowned slightly, but still said, "Maybe what I said may not be correct, but in this life, if you can't be with the person you like, what's the point of this life?"

Dong Jie's body trembled slightly, and her beautiful eyes looked at Lu An in astonishment. Lu An did not continue to speak, because he had said enough.

Finally, Dong Jie bowed slightly and left the small courtyard with the maid. Lu An watched the two people leave before closing the door of the room.

After a short period of time, Lu An took a deep breath, without letting himself think too much, picked up the ring Dong Hao gave him, and took out the pill formula and materials inside.

There are a total of ten pill formulas, and each of them is indeed a third-grade pill formula. Three of them are even more deadly than the ones that hurt people.

The level of Dan's elixir spectrum is even higher. It seems that Dong Hao really didn't hide it. After all, even his daughter is willing to show it, let alone the elixir spectrum?

Spreading out the pill list, Lu An randomly selected one and studied it carefully. From noon until nightfall, Lu An stopped studying and left the compound and rushed to his residence.

This was Lu An's plan that he had made long ago. He would study alchemy during the day and continue practicing at night. In any case, there was no way he could slow down the progress of his practice.

Especially after entering the third level of Heavenly Master, the speed of cultivation is much slower than before. Although Lu An can understand, there is no way he can slack off at all.

Soon, Lu An returned to the courtyard. When he entered the courtyard garden, he found Yang Meiren sitting alone in the pavilion.

Under the moonlight, Yang Meiren's temperament is made even more noble. Yang Meiren is a mature lady, and just looking at her will give people a feeling of superiority. Even though Yang Meiren has sacrificed her own consciousness, this feeling still remains.

Didn't disappear.

After thinking for a while, Lu An walked towards the pavilion. Soon, he stood in front of Yang Meiren and spoke softly under the moonlight, "Why are you here alone?"

Of course, Beauty Yang was unaware of Lu An's arrival. She turned her head slightly and met Lu An's eyes.

Lu An was startled because he noticed that there seemed to be traces of tears in Yang Meiren's eyes.

You know, emotions like loss or sadness have never been seen in Yang Meiren. No matter when, Yang Meiren would never express such feelings. Why did Yang Meiren suddenly become like this?

Lu An was shocked and asked quickly, "What's wrong with you? Do you miss your daughter?"

However, Yang Meiren shook her head slightly and wanted to say something, but did not speak.

"What's going on?" Lu An was even more confused. He felt that except Yang Mu, no one or anything could make Yang Mei feel such a mood.

Hearing Lu An's words, Yang Meiren lowered her head slightly, and finally spoke out her thoughts.

"This day...is the day we get married."
