STEP AWAY! THE ANTAGONIST WANTS TO ESCAPE
89.


"How's my great-grandson developing?" Grandfather Lu asked before running his front pawn forward one step to the right to eat Lu Ming's pawn. They're playing chess.


Lu Ming looked at his grandfather's face for a moment then looked back at the chessboard in front of him. There were actually many chances to defeat his grandfather in this game. He saw there were two opportunities to make the game into a checkmate, but did not execute it. "Twenty percent." Lu Ming replied haphazardly.


Since the unexpected visit that night, both his grandfather and mother who they will ask if they meet him is none other than the question about their great-grandchildren. Li Ming wanted to be honest if there were no great-grandchildren for them, but he could not bear to destroy their dreams.


"You said that too three days ago!" Grandfather Lu squinted his eyes at Lu Ming furiously."Actually you can or not, huh?" Grandfather Lu covered his mouth in shock realizing what he had just said. All this time the thought that 'Lu Ming could not' had never crossed his mind. Grandfather Lu looked at Lu Ming with pity then cleared his throat and turned his gaze away.


Oh, my poor grandson!


Lu Ming furrowed his brows, the change in his grandfather's face from angry to pity was too suspicious. Lu Ming squinted his eyes analyzing roughly what kind of scenario was inside his grandfather's head so that he could give that extremely rare look of pity.


Grandfather Lu glanced at Lu Ming before saying carefully. "If you're going to adopt, Grandpa doesn't matter." He said before standing up and walked out of the study room with a grievous face.


Ah, from all sorts of flaws why her grandson should have that one. He shook his head, sighed and made a face of wanting to cry until he reached the kitchen and patted the shoulders of his daughter-in-law who was cooking. "Yaoyao, this year I'll sail with you." Grandpa Lu said. He had to shift his grief by having fun.


"Dad you sure you're coming with me?" Fu Yao handed the spatula to the assistant and turned around to look at her father-in-law.


"You don't want me to come?" Grandpa Lu exclaimed a little rusty. He snorted and then left the kitchen in a deliberately jolted, sulking step.


"It's not that dad, it's just that yesterday dad said he didn't want to go. Why did you suddenly change your mind, did something happen?" Fu Yao followed Grandpa Lu towards the terrace.


"Yourf!" Grandfather Lu sat on his rocking chair in annoyance. His eyes turned red when he thought that his great-grandson would not be born.


It's Lu Ming's fault!


Fu Yao approached Grandfather Lu, "Did Lu Ming anger father again?" He asked, guessing. His father-in-law had gone to the study room and invited Lu Ming to play chess, the possibility of Lu Ming not giving up and making him angry. But if that's the case usually the two of them will fuss first before Grandpa Lu lashes out. This time it was slightly different, Fu Yao did not hear any commotion from the study room. He doesn't know what's going on.


"Bright..." Grandfather Lu looked at Fu Yao for a moment then looked towards the sky then closed his eyes very dramatically. Although he desperately wanted Ming Yue to be his granddaughter but it seemed that he could not use any detrimental means. "Lu Ming he... I think I should rethink the wedding." He said with a heavy heart.


"What do you mean, dad?" Fu Yao suddenly panicked, she asked worriedly. "What did the boy do, did he become stupid again, no, where was Ming Yue." He stood up and went inside in a hurry.


When he saw Lu Ming coming down from the stairs, his jaw hardened and his eyes narrowed then walked up to his son furiously.


Lu Ming had no idea why his mother had suddenly become like a brooding, ferocious hen and would claw at any moment.


"Lu Ming you son of a bitch! What have you done to Ming Yue, huh!" Fu Yao took off the sandals on her feet then threw them towards Lu Ming.


Lu Ming who saw the danger from the flying sandals dodged so that the sandals fell behind him. It made his mother even more angry. Fu Yao without a cue was already in front of him with an angry look, she gripped onto Lu Ming's shirt and forced him to bow before slashing punch after punch incessantly at his son's rear head. "Do you want to be a weathered bachelor, huh? You should be grateful! If it wasn't Ming Yue who would be with you!" Fu Yao fieryly struck while shouting furiously. Forgot a hundred more people who lined up to be his son-in-law and cursed his son to become a weathered bachelor.


"Ma..." Lu Ming tried to protect his head from his mother's blow. With the power used by his mother, he was afraid of a concussion.


Lu Ming felt that he would be completely beaten to a fool if he did not stop his mother immediately. "Ma, what's going on?" Lu Ming shouted after breaking free from his mother's grip.


Fu Yao looked at Lu Ming's face in disbelief then her eyes slowly turned red before she cried. "You yelled at your mother?" Fu Yao said in a voice full of pain.


Lu Ming rubbed his forehead roughly, seeing his mother's rapid changes instantly understanding if his mother was PMS. He let out a long sigh while closing his eyes trying to be patient. It's not the first time, you're immune! Lu Ming cast a spell in his heart three times before he reopened his eyes.


But things got worse when Grandpa Lu joined in. "Huh, you kid doesn't know it's lucky. As long as Lu Huang is still in this world, I won't let you hurt Ming Yue!" Grandfather Lu shouted out loudly making Lu Ming grow even more confused.


What's with the people in this house? Did they take the wrong medicine or did he teleport to another world?


Lu Ming stared fixedly at his mother and grandfather, trying to figure out what situation was going on. He remembered having relented three times while playing chess earlier, there was no reason for his grandfather to suddenly get angry. She also bought her mother's purse last week as a tribute to PMS this month. What did he miss that made the two people angry?


"We must not err on Ming Yue, their marriage must be annulled immediately!" Fu Yao said as she gave a furious look to Lu Ming.


Lu Ming's breath choked when he heard it. As if struck by lightning in broad daylight, he was surprised not to play. "What do you mean, explain to me what you want? Don't just cancel my marriage to Ming Yue." Lu Ming shouted in panic.


The two people had already discussed themselves regardless of Lu Ming shouting Lu Ming who was burning a beard.


"Right, I will have Xiao Ahn announce it immediately." Grandfather said before shouting out to Butler Ahn.


When Ming Yue entered the study room and saw the three people inside were talking seriously and Lu Ming's facial expression looked extremely slashed as well as desperate, he wanted to smile amusedly.


"Yueyue, come here son." Fu Yao who saw him told him to come closer. After Ming Yue sat down next to him, Fu Yao clasped her hands affectionately.


"You don't have to worry, grandfather won't let you be harmed." Grandfather Lu said softly to him before looking back at Lu Ming fiercely. "You want to drag Yueyue to live like a Buddha with you, I won't let you!"


"Uncle Ahn immediately announced the annulment of her marriage." Fu Yao replied with hate and affection. He thought Lu Ming was already healthy, it turned out that the pain in his eyes was getting worse. How could he not see the advantages Ming Yue had so much!


The two people with different thoughts but having the same ultimate goal were giving a hostile look to Lu Ming.


"Ming Yue, tell them if you want us to get married." Lu Ming said to Ming Yue, he looked at her expectantly. If his grandfather and mother were unwilling to listen to him they would definitely listen to Ming Yue.


"Not to be afraid of him, Yueyue. Your grandfather and mother will protect you." Grandpa Lu interrupted. Inside his head already played out various scenarios Lu Ming forced Ming Yue to marry him then threatened him when Ming Yue disagreed.


In the head Fu Yao was also playing the same thing only slightly different. The difference if Grandfather Lu thought Lu Ming was forcing Ming Yue to marry him and live a vacant Buddhist life. Within Fu Yao's shadow, Lu Ming must have married Ming Yue only to skit in front of them like a drama aired on TV. They are only married but do not live as a real married couple.


Fu Yao cast a fierce gaze at Lu Ming. "Did I ever teach you to do that?" He asked furiously and his eyebrows raised high.


"Don't put off the lives of others!" Grandfather Lu said no less furious.
