The Lu family stood at the side and observe each passing gift given to the old man. However, unlike his family, Lu Tian held his eyes elsewhere.

He stares attentively in the direction of the crowd to his wife. Seeing her constantly smile at Ji Jingxu, the between his brows crease into three lines.

What are the two siblings whispering about that his wife is smiling?

As he thought this, he sees her suddenly pat the boy’s head and his entire being softens.

From what he knows, Fate is one of the notorious underground gang. Despite Yue Ling being the leaser, she is a caring person and never is she a selfish person. If someone is in danger, she will not hesitate to risk her life to save the person.

Buzz.... Buzz... buzz...

As he ponder in thought, his brows furrow more when he suddenly hears the sound of a fly... no... two, wait... three.

The sound quickly intensify inside the ballroom like hundred of flies gathering for a piece of meat that had set out for them.

His eyes darken at the annoying sound as he avert his eyes away from his wife to the culprits.

Single men in every direction of the room stares at Yue Ling with love struck eyes. Some are hesitant to go over and talk to her or get a closer view.

Seeing this, Lu Tian lift his leg and strides forward without a care for anyone but his wife.

"Eh? Tian, where are you going?"

Madam Lu calls out as she sees her oldest son walk towards the guests who has not present their gifts. However, just as she wanted to ask him again, a hand covers her mouth.

"..."

"Ma, let him go find his one true love."

Covering his mother’s mouth with his right hand, Lu Han wrap his left arm around her shoulder. Until he felt it was safe, he lets go, but only realize what he had done.

He struggle a gulp and turn to look at her with puppy eyes.

"Bro is going to kill some flies."

Madam Lu stares at her son with a disoriented expression. Even her lip that was twitching uncontrollably sounded like she had spent an entire night in an ice-cold lake.

She is the wife of Old Lu, the madam of the Lu family, and a prominent figure in Imperial to all women, yet....

How dare this insolent child of hers do such thing to her in public?!!

Wanting to give Lu Han a good beating, Madam Lu reach for his ear, but her eyes caught sight of the reason for Lu Tian’s sudden temperament.

Her cheeks puff out like a chipmunk and ignores what her youngest son had done to her. She stares at her oldest son and prays inside.

’Buddha, if you can hear me, pleeeeeease help my oldest son not unleash his wrath too much. I want to meet my grandchild and I do not want my daughter-in-law to be without a husband.’

Lu Han stares at his mother with purse lips. Thinking of something, he looks ahead and close head to pray with her.

’Buddha, if you can hear me, pleeeeeease help me find a pretty girl to spend time with tonight. She doesn’t have to be very pretty, but not too ugly too.’

Unlike the mother and son duo, Old Lu held a smile as he watch Grandfather Ji open his gifts. He slowly turn his head to say something to his wife, but seeing the pair lost in their prayers, he was dumbfounded.
