Young Master Gu, Please Be Gentle

Lu Jinwen looked at the temple, his gaze landed on Lin Xuanji, who was kneeling on the round cushion.

Lin Xuanji wasn’t even 18 years old yet, she appeared so youthful and charming.

Everything matched his memories. In the winter, she had a red wool cloak on, her silky hair braided into two braids, revealing the radiant, supple skin on her face. She was simply stunning.

Lu Jinwen’s pupils contracted. He had reincarnated, returning to the past.

Returning to the first time he had met her.

The 18 year old Lin Xuanji had just been exposed to love, she was at the age where she knew almost nothing about it. In just two days, she would turn 18 and her coming of age ceremony would be held. She came to the temple, asking for a marriage lot.

“May the heavens please bestow me with a husband.”

She closed her eyes, saying those words affirmatively as she shook the bamboo lot holder in her hands.

A bamboo lot came out of the holder, dropping on the ground. She quickly picked the lot up, finding the reciprocating lot paper.

It was a marriage lot.

…

Reading the lot paper carefully twice, she suddenly heard some sounds behind her.

When she turned around to look, a bead curtain was lifted by someone with slender fingers and a tall figure stood there. Lin Xuanji raised the corners of her lips, smiling sweetly at the man.

Lu Jinwen witnessed the entire scene. That tall figure was… Jun Mosheng.

The Second Young Master Jun of the Jun family, who was influential in Karghalik had appeared. He stood on par with Lu Jinwen, who was young master of the Lu family that took control of the Capital.

Lu Jinwen clenched his fists tightly by his sides. Though he had returned to the past, everything seemed to have changed.

It was supposed to be him who lifted the bead curtain, but now, Jun Mosheng was the one who did it. Could it really be that Lin Xuanji and Jun Mosheng’s fate were predestined in this lifetime?

Lin Xuanji suddenly stood up, striding towards Jun Mosheng.

Jun Mosheng wore a black cloak, appearing personable as he stood behind the bead curtain, smiling at Lin Xuanji.

It was as though they had telepathy.

She strode towards Jun Mosheng, walking unconsciously towards Jun Mosheng.

Lu Jinwen raised the corners of his lips into a wry smile, striding towards her. Just as Lin Xuanji slowly approached Jun Mosheng, her wrist was suddenly grasped tightly by someone.

Lifting her eyes to see, a handsome face appeared in front of her. Lu Jinwen had clutched onto her wrist.

Their eyes met and Lin Xuanji greeted him, “Brother-in-law.”

Brother-in-law?

He furrowed his brows upon hearing that. Lin Xuanyin?

He had married Lin Xuanyin in this lifetime?

Though he had the memories of his past lifetime, he had no idea what went on in this one.

“Brother-in-law, why are you holding my wrist?” Lin Xuanji knitted her brows, wanting to retract her hand. Her skin was smooth and delicate. Lu Jinwen hadn’t let go, but held her even more tightly.

He had been watching over her cold body for several months. But now, she stood in front of him, her body was warm.

She stood in front of him, well and alive.

“Brother-in-law, you’re hurting me. Let go of me.” Lin Xuanji’s wrist had a red mark after being held onto so tightly by him.

“Mister, please let go of her!” Jun Mosheng walked over.

“How are you even fit to meddle in our affairs?”

Lu Jinwen looked at Jun Mosheng impassively with the corner of his eyes.

Just a simple sentence sounded so domineering, exuding such maturity once it came out of Lu Jinwen’s mouth.

Jun Mosheng was stunned.

Lu Jinwen crouched over, lifting Lin Xuanji over his broad shoulder as he walked away.
