The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 400
Advertisement
After hearing what Lucas said, the young teenage girl immediately seemed overjoyed, and she exclaimed gleefully, "I had a hundred roses, but I sold thirty-two of them, so there are sixty-eight left. I can count them again!"
Lucas stopped the girl when she was about to count each and every single rose. Then he took out ten twenty-dollar bills from his pocket and handed them to the girl. "There you go. You can keep the change. Take it as money for the basket, okay?"
After counting the bills, the girl solemnly took out three bills from the stack and gave them back to Lucas. "My mom says that we can't overcharge others. Sir, thank you for your kindness! You bought so many roses from me at once, so I'll give the basket to you for free! May you and this beautiful lady be blissful forever!"
The girl stuffed the entire flower basket into Lucas's hand and then scurried back to her mother's side. After chatting for a while, the middle-aged woman placed her hand on the girl's head and stroked it tenderly with a gentle smile on her face. She then smiled at Lucas and Cheyenne with gratitude.
Lucas also smiled faintly, grabbed the basket of roses, and left with Cheyenne hand in hand.
But after walking for a while, Lucas still didn't give the basket of roses to Cheyenne.
"Which beautiful woman are you planning to give this basket of roses to?" Cheyenne finally couldn't help asking after hesitating to speak several times.
Lucas smiled without saying anything. He simply took Cheyenne's hand and brought her to a stall near the amusement park.
It was a hotdog stall being operated by an elderly couple. Their hair had grayed, and their movements were not as agile as young people's, but they were nonetheless facing their customers with smiles on their faces. When working alongside each other, they would exchange glances from time to time and feel the love they had for each other from their eyes.

They were truly an affectionate couple who had loved each other until they were old and gray.
Cheyenne's eyes were immediately full of envy.
This elderly couple might not necessarily live a privileged life, but they nevertheless enjoyed operating a street stall together. They were smiling peacefully and full of love and devotion for each other.
Cheyenne secretly glanced at Lucas. Her greatest hope was for her family to be harmonious and peaceful and then be able to grow old together with her beloved, just like this elderly couple in front of her who led ordinary lives.
Lucas walked forward with Cheyenne's hand in his and then handed the basket of roses to the elderly man. "Sir, these flowers are for you. I hope you and your wife will enjoy eternal bliss!"
The elderly couple was pleasantly surprised and quickly thanked Lucas.
Looking at the happy smiles on their faces, Lucas felt rather glad too. This is probably the joy of giving a gift.
He leaned close to Cheyenne's ear and whispered, "We'll just be like them in the future. We'll grow old together and never leave each other!"
Cheyenne blushed and couldn't help looking forward to it.
The thought of her and Lucas still being in love with each other when they were in their seventies and their hair was all gray filled her heart with a sweet sense of happiness.
"Let's go!" Lucas suddenly took Cheyenne's hand and walked forward.
They weren't walking toward the parking lot outside the amusement park, so Cheyenne asked in puzzlement, "Where are we going?"
Lucas smiled mysteriously. "You'll know when we get there!"
Cheyenne was quite surprised because Lucas had always been very reliable and would rarely keep her in suspense.
Her curiosity was immediately piqued.
Lucas took Cheyenne to a large commercial building a few hundred meters away from the amusement park.

It was evening on the weekend, so it was extremely crowded at the building.
But there was now a large partitioned space in the center hall of the mall, which was decorated with all kinds of flowers and balloons. There were also numerous decorative ribbons draping all the way to the bottom from the top floor. The entire central area of the hall was decorated with a romantic theme.
In the middle of the hall, fresh flowers arranged in the shape of a huge heart and gentle and romantic lights shining down formed a fairytale-like romantic haven.
The visitors of the mall were all isolated at the periphery and snapping photos and taking videos of the incredibly romantic scene with their phones while exclaiming in amazement.
With a trace of envy, Cheyenne said, "Is… someone going to confess their love to their crush here?"
"Maybe." With a smile, Lucas suddenly took Cheyenne's hand and walked toward the heart of flowers in the center of the hall.
"Hey, wait a minute. You can't go there!" Cheyenne said, feeling flustered.
A few tourists and children wanted to go inside too, but they were stopped by the mall's security personnel.
But to Cheyenne's surprise, no one came to stop her and Lucas. Just as she was feeling flustered, they had already reached the center of the heart of flowers.
At this moment, Cheyenne finally realized what was going on, and she covered her mouth in disbelief as her heart pounded rapidly. No way…
Suddenly, melodious piano music filled the hall, and countless spots of light shone on them, shrouding them in a dreamy, fantasy-like atmosphere.
All the passersby were watching this beautiful scene in front of them, fully focused and holding their breaths for fear of causing a disturbance.
Lucas took out a small and exquisite jewelry box from his pocket and opened it gently to reveal a ring topped with a pink pigeon-egg-sized diamond. Under the light, it glistened and shined dazzlingly.
Everyone gasped in amazement.
The dazzling and beautiful pink diamond ring was the exact same one that Lucas had bought for more than thirty-five million dollars at the Sawyers' auction in Orange County.
Lucas smiled gently. "Cheyenne, you didn't accept it the last time I proposed to you."
He suddenly got down on one knee with the shiny pink diamond ring in hand. Gazing at Cheyenne with great devotion, he said, "This time, will you say yes and marry me? I promise I'll treat you well with all my heart and make you the happiest woman in the world!"

So What If I'm Trash? Who Needs Cultivation?!
Qing Shan Long. They say he isn't human. An escaped experiment from some government facility, a reincarnation of a saint, a freakish superhuman. Whatever he was one thing was clear. Be it Music, Martial Arts, Science, whatever he does he excels. He was a whimsical man. A great man. A man who craving for knowledge and excitement knows no bounds, whose collection of books and personal library would even make Alexander the Great green with envy. He donated to all manners of charities and funded many projects for helping the poor and disabled. A self made man who single handedly founded one of the largest corporations in the world, Wen Qu Technologies, whose influences reach from vast fields of expertise. From objects of war such as the newest aircrafts, droids, and body armor; to life saving medicine and vaccines; to even the mundane such as video games and the fast food industry. A legendary example of determination and hard work. He was in his car being driven to a business meeting to disclose a deal that would help ensure the country could have access to clean energy and help reduce the pollution that has been plaguing his homeland for the past millenia when he was assassinated and woke up in a strange new world. How will Qing Shan deal with his new environment where the strong suppresses the weak? From the top of the world he suddenly finds himself free falling to rock bottom. Unable to cultivate, a weak body, and all but disowned by his family. (For those who read comics and watch cartoons, imagine him as being Tony Stark, Richard Reeds, Jimmy Neutron, etc level of 'Genius'. ) My own spin on some familar tropes. Another reincarnation into another world story. The MC will take over the body of someone with a trash body that can't cultivate and will be hated and neglected by his family. Pretty typical so far right? Except there won't be some amazing miracle to heal our MC, there isn't some magical grandpa to teach him some OP thing which only his trash body can use, there isn't a hidden op bloodline, and he is not from a super amazing assassin clan or genius doctor. He isn't the chosen one, he's just a guy trying his best to make something with a crap situation. First attempt at a wuxia type story! I like playing with common tropes, maybe adding a twist, to playing it straight as a classic. I have absolutely no idea where this is going to take me but please do give your input and I'll do my best so that everyone has a say in where our journey will go. I'll admit the only knowledge I have of chinese history and ancient society is from reading light novels translated to english and some old dramas, so if I make some social passe just take it as because this is another world, not exactly an AU where magic and stuff actually exist. I'm also not actually Chinese and will basically using google to help me with names and other such, if I make a mistake please let me know! (Even if you don't like the story or couldn't bare to get past chapter 1 please leave a comment so I can find out where to improve, thank you!)
