Chapter 191 With such feelings, what is there to worry about?
Su Wan's unhappiness, her dejection, the inferiority and unease in her eyes—Lu Chenyuan noticed almost instantly. He knew Su Wan too well; he knew she was feeling inferior again, that she wasn't good enough for him.
These days, Su Wan had revealed this emotion to him more than once, and each time, it made his heart ache.
He quickly put his phone away, reached out, and pulled Su Wan into a tight embrace.
The force was gentle, yet carried a firm strength.
It was as if it wanted to dispel all her unease and inferiority.
It was as if he was telling her that she didn't need to be afraid or feel inferior, that he was there for her, and that he would take care of everything.
"Wanwan, don't overthink things, okay?"
Lu Chenyuan lowered his head and gently rested his chin on the top of her head, his tone so gentle it could melt water, full of comfort and tenderness.
"I don't have that much money. This money wasn't earned by myself; it was given to me by my father. He prepared it for me to get married and for settling down."
"I'm just an ordinary section chief, and I only take home about 15,000 yuan a month. With year-end performance bonuses and special awards, I make a maximum of 200,000 yuan a year, not counting housing provident fund. This is the money I actually earn."
He gently stroked her long hair, his fingertips tenderly caressing her strands, soothing her again and again.
"Don't be intimidated by these numbers, and don't think there's any gap between us."
"My dad's money is his money, it has nothing to do with me. I'm just borrowing it for now. We'll pay him back when we've saved enough money."
"Wanwan, in my heart, you have never been an ordinary person who has nothing."
"You are kind, lovely, gentle, and brave. You have your own shining qualities. You deserve all the good things in the world. You deserve my lifelong cherishing and love."
"You don't need to feel unworthy of me. On the contrary, it's me who's unworthy of you. I'm not good enough. It took me too long to see my own feelings clearly. That's why I didn't let you feel my love sooner, and that's why you suffered so much."
"Lu Chenyuan..."
Su Wan leaned against him, listening to his gentle and sincere comfort, and the grievances and inferiority in her heart grew even stronger.
Tears finally streamed down his face, soaking his clothes.
She hugged his waist tightly, buried her face in his chest, ignoring Lin Weiwei who was right beside her, her voice choked with sobs, so weak that it was almost inaudible.
"I'm worried... I'm really worried..."
"What are you worried about?"
Lu Chenyuan lowered his head and gently kissed the top of her head, his tone tender and patient.
"Whatever you're worried about, just tell me. I'm here, and I'll definitely help you solve it. I won't let you bear these anxieties and grievances alone."
"I'm worried... I'm worried that your parents won't approve of us being together."
Su Wan's voice was thick with sobs, and filled with a deep-seated unease.
"I...have nothing, no parents, no background, no money. They will definitely think I'm not good enough for you, they will definitely look down on me, they will definitely oppose us being together..."
"I'm really scared. I'm scared that after all this time we've been together, we'll have to break up because of your parents..."
She cried even harder as she spoke, her shoulders trembling slightly, and she looked extremely fragile, which was heartbreaking.
"How could that be?"
Lu Chenyuan quickly tightened his arms around her, his tone firm and unwavering, his eyes full of sincerity and doting affection.
"My Wanwan is so cute, so kind, beautiful, and has such a good personality. She's generous and sensible. When they see you, they'll only be overjoyed. They'll only think that finding you is the greatest blessing of my life. How could they not accept you? How could they object to us being together?"
He paused, then his tone became even more resolute, carrying an unmistakable determination.
"Besides, don't you still have me? No matter what happens, I will always be with you, always stand by your side, protect you, and pamper you."
"If they dare to give you a hard time, dare to dislike you, or dare to oppose us being together, then so be it, we'll just live our own lives without needing their permission or having to worry about their opinions. As long as we can be together, that's enough."
When Lu Chenyuan said these words, his eyes were firm and his tone was sincere, showing no intention of coaxing or placating her.
He knew in his heart that although his parents seemed a bit serious on weekdays, they were not the kind of people who were materialistic or valued family background. What they valued more was a person's character and the feelings between two people.
He was confident that he could make his parents accept and like Su Wan, and that he could help Su Wan successfully pass their test.
Moreover, based on his understanding of his parents, they were also somewhat sentimental people.
Just like back then, my father didn't actually value the Shu family's social standing at first.
If Shuyue hadn't been pregnant at the time, perhaps Father would have given his eldest brother a chance to choose, allowing him to think carefully about whether he truly wanted to spend his life with Shuyue.
But since the eldest brother slept with Shu Yue after drinking, he made a mistake and had to bear the corresponding responsibility. This was also the principle that their father had always taught the two brothers.
Lu Chenyuan held Su Wan in his arms, gently comforting her with one sentence after another.
He told her again and again not to be afraid or feel inferior, that he was there for her, that he would always be with her, that he would give her a stable future, and that he would make her the happiest woman in the world.
Lin Weiwei, standing in the corner of the elevator, quietly watched the scene unfold before her. Listening to Lu Chenyuan's gentle and sincere words of comfort, and seeing Su Wan gradually calm down in his arms, her heart softened as well.
At this moment, she truly had no prejudice against Lu Chenyuan whatsoever; all that remained was approval, reassurance, and a barely perceptible sense of relief.
She could tell that Lu Chenyuan truly loved Su Wan, truly cherished Su Wan, and genuinely wanted to give Su Wan the best of everything in the world.
He was willing to set aside his pride and dignity for Su Wan, willing to soothe her anxiety and inferiority complex, and willing to stand up against his parents for Su Wan. What more could one ask for in a man like that?
With this kind of relationship, what is there to worry about?
The elevator dinged, the doors slowly opened, and we arrived at the first floor.
The three of them walked out of the elevator together and headed towards the Graff boutique on the first floor of the International Plaza.
Throughout the journey, Lu Chenyuan held Su Wan tightly, one hand firmly in his grasp, his fingertips gently caressing her palm, constantly comforting her, afraid that she would overthink things or feel uneasy again.
