Chapter 374: Acquaintance!

"Master, please enter," the robot said again.

"The Mistress is already waiting inside."

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan's eyes lit up instantly.

"Could it be…"

"Did Gu Le graduate early?"

"Is she planning to give me a surprise?"

Thinking of this, Yang Fan did not hesitate any longer.

He pushed the door open and walked toward the main hall.

Just as he pushed open the doors to the main hall, Yang Fan's footsteps came to a halt.

In the center of the hall, a familiar figure came into view.

The woman seemed to have just finished bathing.

Her long, black hair was still slightly damp, with a few strands clinging gently to her fair cheeks.

She wore an exquisitely tailored haute couture evening gown that outlined her perfect figure.

Soft light spilled over her, making her appear as if she had stepped out of a painting.

But what truly caught Yang Fan's attention was not her stunning appearance, but the aura of a deity that she could not hide.

After seeing her face clearly, Yang Fan froze.

He certainly knew this person.

But he had never imagined that they would meet under such circumstances.

The person was not Gu Le, but Gu Le's cousin—Miss Lu Wan.

Back when they were in the Alien Divine Kingdom Zone at Primordial Academy, Miss Lu Wan was already a fourth-year student.

Now that she had graduated and entered the Frontline, and achieved a Breakthrough to the Realm of a deity, it was entirely consistent with her status and talent.

After all, as the pride of the Lu Family, this rate of growth was not exaggerated.

However…

Yang Fan could not imagine why he would see her here.

And to be arranged by Third Elder Gu Xuanting, no less.

This felt wrong no matter how he looked at it.

"Ahem."

Yang Fan coughed lightly and subconsciously took a half-step back.

"Miss Lu Wan."

"Is there some kind of mistake?"

His impression of Miss Lu Wan was not shallow.

Back at Primordial Academy, she had even seduced him right in front of Gu Le.

Moreover, Miss Lu Wan's status was not inferior to Gu Le's in the slightest.

Yang Fan truly did not want to provoke a woman like this.

His life was going well right now.

He did not want to suddenly trigger some cliché drama involving infidelity and a love triangle.

However, Miss Lu Wan did not retreat at all.

"Young Lord Yang."

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

"It seems this form of address is no longer appropriate."

"Now, I should call you…"

"Husband."

As her voice faded, Miss Lu Wan moved.

In less than half a breath, she was already in front of Yang Fan.

She reached out with both hands, seemingly preparing to wrap them naturally around Yang Fan's neck.

Yang Fan subconsciously reached out to block her, his palm making contact with her arm, and he applied a light force.

The next moment, Miss Lu Wan's face instantly turned pale.

"Ouch!"

"Be gentler!"

Yang Fan was startled and quickly let go.

"My apologies."

Miss Lu Wan rubbed her arm, but there was no anger in her eyes; instead, she revealed a hint of surprise.

"Husband is indeed a peerless prodigy-level Genius."

"We both only achieved our Breakthrough to deity not long ago."

"And I specialize in the Martial Route, yet I didn't expect… your Physical Body to actually surpass mine."

Yang Fan rubbed his nose awkwardly.

"I just want to know, what is going on here?"

"Also, Miss Lu Wan."

"We don't have a marriage relationship, do we?"

Miss Lu Wan blinked.

"Isn't marriage essentially just a contract?"

"If we sign one, don't we have a relationship?"

Her tone was natural.

"Besides, Aunt Qinglan and cousin Gu Le have already agreed."

"You don't need to worry."

"How about… we go inside and have dinner first?"

As she spoke, Miss Lu Wan turned slightly to the side.

She lifted her right hand lightly, placed her left hand naturally at her waist, and leaned forward slightly, her skirt draping gently with the movement.

This was a standard welcoming etiquette of an upper-class Family.

The movement was elegant and restrained.

It expressed an invitation while maintaining sufficient respect.

"Young Lord Yang, please."

"Tonight's dinner is already prepared."

Yang Fan swept his Mental Energy across the area.

He discovered that there was no one else in the entire villa besides Miss Lu Wan.

Only then did he completely lower his guard and walk inside with a calm expression.

In the center of the hall, the long dining table was already filled with all sorts of exquisite delicacies.

Crystal-clear spirit fruits and delicacies of immortal poultry exuded a rich aroma, and in the center were even several jars of immortal brew—a top-tier vintage—the fragrance of which alone was enough to invigorate the spirit.

Now, with the birth of the fourth-tier Intelligent Life, Yang Fan's Mental Energy was no longer what it used to be.

A single sweep of his Mental Energy could even analyze the material structure; with just one glance, he confirmed that all the wine and food before him had no issues, and only then did he sit down with peace of mind.

At this moment, Miss Lu Wan gently placed a document in front of Yang Fan.

"Husband, take a look at this first."

Yang Fan opened the document and scanned it quickly.

However, the further he read, the more intense the surprise in his eyes became.

This was actually a complete strategic plan for the future development of the Yang Group!

Starting from the Star Domain on the front lines where Xiling Star was located, to gradually covering the entire Human Federation, the development routes for each stage, networking channels, capital operations, resource integration, IPO planning… almost every step was arranged in extreme detail.

The Lu Consortium's industries spanned the entire Human Federation, and in the Star Domain on the front lines, it held shares in almost all large listed companies, controlling the resource channels of over a thousand life planets.

And this plan was prepared to utilize these networks to push the Yang Group toward the entire Human Federation, step by step.

Yang Fan slowly looked up at Miss Lu Wan, his eyes full of surprise.

"What is this?"

Miss Lu Wan smiled slightly.

"This is my sincerity."

"According to our investigation, you have already injected two hundred trillion Divinity Points into the Yang Group. Now that the company has ample funds, it has already begun to acquire assets and life planets in the Star Domain on the front lines in large quantities."

"However, this can only be counted as capital accumulation."

"To truly become a super consortium capable of influencing the entire Human Federation, funds alone are far from enough."

"Government relations, networking channels, industrial layout, business models, resource integration… the Yang Group is still very weak in these areas."

"And these are precisely what the Lu Consortium excels at."

Speaking of this, she slowly stood up and came to Yang Fan's side.

"The Lu Consortium holds shares in over eighty percent of the large enterprises in the Federation."

"In the future, whether it is mergers and acquisitions, financing, IPOs, or sales channels for the Yang Group, I can help you pave the way."

Having said that, she leaned down and blew gently into Yang Fan's ear.

"Besides that…"

"You must be very short on funds right now, right?"

"My mother has prepared one hundred trillion Divinity Points and fifty million military merits for me as my dowry."

"How about it?"

Hearing this, Yang Fan couldn't help but chuckle.

"Since the dowry is so generous, shouldn't I also prepare a decent bride price?"

As he spoke, he reached out and gently wrapped his arm around Miss Lu Wan's slender waist.

With a tap of his toes, his chair slid backward slowly.

The next moment, he took the opportunity to gently pull Miss Lu Wan into his embrace.

Facing Yang Fan's sudden movement, Miss Lu Wan stiffened for a moment.

Her originally fair cheeks flushed with a layer of red that was visible to the naked eye, spreading all the way to her earlobes.

"I… I am surnamed Lu."

"The Lu Family lacks nothing."

She lowered her head and said softly.

"What I set my eyes on was you in the first place."

"However… let's get this straight."

"In the future, if we have children, you cannot play favorites."

"The children… must have at least ten percent of the Yang Group's shares."

Her voice grew quieter and quieter, until at the end, it was almost inaudible.
