The Long family were all fairly close to one another and always had a big family dinner every two weeks. Yusheng was taking Huiyin this time to introduce her to the family. He looked to his left and saw Huiyin nervously fiddling with her sleeves. The anxiety clear on her face.
"Don't worry, I'll protect you." He wasn't going to feed her lies and tell her 'it'll be fine.', 'they will definitely like you...' His family were not very good with strangers and the likelihood of his grandparents liking her would definitely be low. As long as she trusts him, it would be fine.
As for Huiyin, she felt very touched hearing those words. She felt reassured now if Yusheng could protect her she would be fine.
"So, what type of wedding would you like?" Yusheng brought up the topic of their wedding. It wouldn't be good for the baby if she was stressed.
"A small one please, just close family and friends." Huiyin didn't wish to drag her time here for too long. Long Yusheng treated her very well, much better than anyone in her past life. She was afraid she'd get attached and considering her situation, that simply wasn't possible.
"Why?" Didn't every girl desire a big fat wedding?
"Um... Considering the conditions we are joining together, it doesn't seem right. Furthermore, it would be better to have one that is not too open if we take into consideration your position..." Yusheng was momentarily confused. His position, what was wrong with it?
Noticing his confused expression Huiyin further explained, "You know... You're an infamous big boss..." Finally understanding, Long Yusheng wasn't too happy. If his job would stop her from living as she wanted, shouldn't he just quite so they can live peacefully?
Many may not understand why Long Yusheng had such deep affections for a woman who had only become his future wife so suddenly. Long Yusheng seemed difficult to understand but he was actually quite simple. He'd got into the "family business" because he had nothing better to do and his family wanted him to. Back when he was known as S cities "bad boy" that was just a hobby. The "family business" originated not from a family of scholars during the Tang dynasty, but a nest of bandits during the Qin dynasty. Sure, Yusheng could be ruthless and unforgiving at times, but the truth is, he was an all-around family man. It didn't mind if he held any affection for this wife or not. In the end, she was still his wife. If his child and wife were in danger because of this industry he didn't mind giving it up. However, as mentioned before, it wouldn't be so easy. Yusheng was determined to find a way that his family can survive.
The Long Clan hadn't been that large spread before Long Yusheng had taken over, but once he did... He ruthlessly crushed his opponents and quickly took over C country's underworld. He was now advancing into other surrounding countries. The Long family's influence was increasing by leaps and bounds, soon they would be on equal footing as the Mu family.
"This... I'll make it up to you..." He glanced at her to check her face hadn't turned sour.
"It's fine! I had been preparing to be your first life for a long time... I naturally expected this..." Yusheng felt something tug at his heartstrings as he watched her bashfully look down. This Huiyin was actually quite cute...
Soon the couple arrived at the Long Mansion. The traditional Chinese home seemed to stretch for miles. The Long family were really flaunting their wealth in the eyes of the world!
"Don't worry I'll protect you." Remembering Yusheng's words Huiyin mustered up some courage and tightly held Yusheng's hand.
This would the first time she would be introduced as someone's future wife in both lives. Truthfully, she's had plenty of firsts in this life, including her first...
