Chapter 406

There weren’t many clothes in his wardrobe, apart from combat uniforms and military uniforms, there were only a few short sleeves brought from home for summer.

Lu Sheng rarely bought clothes, and when he did, he bought a lot of similar ones at once.

Mainly because his martial arts strength skyrocketed too quickly, sometimes with one move, his clothes would be torn to shreds and couldn’t be worn anymore.

So when buying clothes, he always looked only at the quality, never caring about the color or style.

Choosing a formal outfit for a date from a pile of military uniforms and T-shirts was indeed a bit difficult for Li Die.

Fortunately, Li Die had received professional training and wouldn’t laugh unless the situation was extremely funny.

She quickly and skillfully picked out a few outfits from the wardrobe and laid them out in front of Lu Sheng, saying, “These sets are all suitable. Based on my understanding of Miss Dong Qingxue, she would probably prefer you to wear this set.”

Li Die recommended a set of white shirt paired with casual military pants, looking simple and refreshing.

Lu Sheng was quite surprised, glanced at Li Die, “You know Dong Qingxue?”

“Now, in the entire Eastern Military Region, there are probably very few people who don’t know Miss Dong Qingxue. Who doesn’t know that the peerless Star General of the East ventured into the Catacomb for his confidante, slashing through and returning, unfazed and unstopped even by thousands of beasts …”

Li Die showed a look of envy, saying, “Miss Dong Qingxue can now be said to be the envy of all female soldiers and officers in the entire Eastern Military Region.”

Lu Sheng shook his head with a smile, suddenly thinking of something, casually asked, “That old veteran friend of your parents has been looking for you frequently lately, what’s going on?”

Li Die’s eyes flickered, calmly replied, “Yes, he wants to pursue me, to marry me.”

Lu Sheng was a bit surprised, “How old is he?”

Li Die replied, “Still quite young, over seventy.”

Lu Sheng didn’t know what to say.

He was nineteen, twenty in virtual age, while Dong Qingxue was twenty-eight, an eight-year difference between them. Moreover, they were both destined to become beings of an different calibre in the future.

Even so, he was a bit worried whether the age difference would be a barrier between them, whether his parents would approve, how his friends would view it, and so on.

Unexpectedly, in Li Die’s case, a fifty-year age gap was considered young.

Moreover, he was an old veteran friend of her parents, who reportedly even held Li Die when she was a child …

“With the flourishing of martial arts, the average lifespan of martial artists has greatly increased. These are all common, usual matters. It’s I who have been too conservative …” Lu Sheng sighed inwardly, then asked, “And what about your thoughts?”

Li Die respectfully replied, “I have rejected him many times. I will not marry and will always serve by your side.”

Lu Sheng waved his hand, “There’s no need for that. If you feel it’s suitable, you can pursue your own happiness. I might not always stay in the Eastern Military Region. You are still young, with a long future ahead …”

“I understand, sir.” Li Die nodded.

Lu Sheng acknowledged with a hum, not saying much more, waved his hand to let Li Die leave, and prepared to change clothes.

Li Die walked out of the room, carefully closing the door behind her.

When she turned around, facing away from the room, her eyes began to flicker with an indescribable light.

“Yes, I am still young, I should pursue … my own life.” Li Die murmured softly as she walked step by step downstairs …

At dinner time, Dong Qingxue arrived punctually.

She was seated in one of the three cars allocated to Lu Sheng by the military, specifically the most expensive sedan.

Lu Sheng had never ridden in it, but he had scanned it with his spiritual power.

He knew the car had leather cushion, an LCD TV, a wine cabinet … all with top-notch shockproof and bulletproof systems, and the driving compartment was completely isolated from the back, ensuring absolute silence for an optimal riding experience.

Before Dong Qingxue arrived, Lu Sheng had been wondering if she would intentionally arrive a few hours late as revenge for him standing her up last time.

He now realized how shallow that thought was. Dong Qingxue was not the type to hold petty grudges.

Even though he was mentally prepared, Lu Sheng was still stunned when Dong Qingxue got out of the car.

She was wearing a dress? A dress?! And she was wearing high heels!

Lu Sheng was dumbfounded. In his memory, Dong Qingxue had only ever worn military uniforms or combat outfits. He had never seen her dressed otherwise.

Now, seeing Dong Qingxue out of her military attire and in a dress, “stunning” didn’t even begin to describe it.

Absolutely gorgeous!

“Are you surprised?” Dong Qingxue, in a white dress with long legs and her black hair flowing like a waterfall, stood calmly before Lu Sheng, asking him.

“No.” Lu Sheng shook his head, expressing his admiration without concealing it, “Just amazed.”

Dong Qingxue pursed her lips slightly and said, “Let’s eat.”

“Alright.” Lu Sheng led Dong Qingxue into the house.

Under the scrutiny of his spiritual power, he clearly saw Dong Qingxue’s expression of relief as soon as he turned around. She quickly took out a small mirror from her handbag and swiftly touched up her makeup.

Despite her calm exterior, her heartbeat exceeded one hundred eighty beats per minute, and her long legs trembled slightly as she walked.

This was the first time Lu Sheng had seen Dong Qingxue so nervous and anxious.

He found it unexpectedly … cute.

When the two sat down, with Dong Qingxue seated opposite Lu Sheng, she had already regained her calm and composed demeanor.

Lu Sheng didn’t expose her, continuing to eat and drink, occasionally introducing the characteristics of certain dishes.

Both were powerful martial artists, eating quickly and in large quantities, so dinner concluded in just over half an hour.

“Want to go see a movie?” Lu Sheng wiped his mouth and asked Dong Qingxue.

Dong Qingxue nodded straightforwardly, “Sure.”

The two then headed out.

Honestly, as the most legendary couple in the Eastern Military Region, if those who fantasized countless romantic scenes in their minds saw how the two interacted, they would be shocked and doubtful of their own sanity!

“Unbelievable …”

Two manor maids watched Lu Sheng’s car drive out of the estate, murmuring, “Were they really on a date just now? It’s really hard to tell …”

“Isn’t it …”

“If I hear you gossiping about the lord behind his back again, you’ll report directly to the military prison.” A cold voice sounded behind them.

The two maids turned to see Li Die standing silently behind them, her face expressionless and coldly watching them.

Their faces turned pale, and they quickly shut their mouths and left.

Li Die stared at them for a long time before withdrawing her gaze, looking in the direction where Lu Sheng and Dong Qingxue had gone.

Then she quickly walked out of the estate.

She stopped not far from the estate’s wall, where a middle-aged man in a military uniform was smoking.

“You’re here.”
