SRGA Chapter 19 Maybe You're a Lucky Charm for Him!
"Sigh!"
Lin Tian sighed as he rode the subway home.
After recording the videos, he went to the busiest commercial street in S City, where he encountered thousands of people within an hour.
Yet, not a single person had a treasure chest floating above their heads.
The treasure chest system had been activated. If it were possible to obtain treasure chests from others, given the large number of people he encountered, there should have been some treasure chests appearing.
But there weren't any. This meant that the treasure chest could only be obtained from Luo Bingning, or perhaps only from a very select few who met certain conditions.
"System, system."
Lin Tian called out in his mind again.
As before, there was no response from the system. It only appeared when there was a treasure chest available.
*Buzz!*
Lin Tian's phone vibrated.
"Son, have you seen Luo Bingning? The Luo family is beyond our reach. It's normal if things don't work out between you two. Don't be sad."
A message from his mother, Chen Juan, popped up.
Lin Tian's parents knew about his encounter with Luo Bingning and their engagement, but they didn't take it seriously.
Their family was just an ordinary one, while the Luo family was a first-class aristocratic family.
Moreover, unlike other aristocratic families, there was only one girl in the three generations of the Luo family—Luo Bingning. Whoever married her would undoubtedly gain both wealth and beauty.
"Mom, why are you bringing this up?"
"Why haven't we heard from you in three days? We're worried about you."
Lin Tian smiled slightly.
Although their family was ordinary, his parents were in good health, and their family life was harmonious. Lin Tian felt quite content in such a family.
"Mom, I've been busy these past few days. I've started a new job, and luck was on my side—I closed a big deal right from the start."
"I'll transfer ten thousand yuan to you. Make sure you and your father eat well and enjoy yourselves."
Lin Tian replied to his mother's message.
As for his relationship with Luo Bingning, he decided to keep it a secret for now. They had already registered their marriage, but for now, they were just living together. Letting his parents know and then separating later would just be a false joy.
"Luo Bingning found you a new job?"
"Sort of. The benefits are pretty good."
Lin Tian smiled. His main job was to obtain treasure chests from Luo Bingning.
"Son, don't mention this matter to your father. Like your grandfather, he doesn't accept any help from the Luo family."
"You can keep the money for yourself. Your father and I don't need you to worry about us."
Lin Tian pondered for a moment.
Their family and the Luo family were not close. Was there another reason behind it?
...
Returning home, Lin Tian smelled the aroma of food.
"Lin Tian, you're back."
"Wait a moment, dinner will be ready soon."
Luo Bingning's pleasant voice came from the kitchen.
Lin Tian walked to the kitchen door, where Luo Bingning was skillfully cooking.
"I've had good luck. I just started at a new company and closed a big deal right away. I'll probably get a two to three thousand yuan commission when it's done."
"Should we hire a maid?"
Lin Tian suggested.
Luo Bingning turned to him in surprise. "You closed a big deal right after starting at the company?"
Lin Tian smiled. "Maybe you're a lucky charm for me."
Luo Bingning blushed slightly.
"You haven't received the commission yet. It's too early to talk about hiring a maid now. Besides, sales are unpredictable. You could make three sales in a day or go months without making one."
"Save up for two months first before we decide."
Luo Bingning suggested.
"Alright, I'll follow your advice."
Lin Tian agreed and left the kitchen. Seeing him leave, Luo Bingning breathed a sigh of relief, feeling slightly nervous.
"Lin Tian, dinner's ready."
Not long after, Luo Bingning called out.
Lin Tian emerged from his bedroom. He had taken a shower and changed into the new clothes Luo Bingning had bought for him yesterday.
Luo Bingning was a little surprised.
Had Lin Tian become even more handsome? He had worn these clothes yesterday, but today, he seemed somehow different.
"Weird."
"Why is that?"
"Could it be that I've seen this guy too much and he's starting to look more pleasing to the eye?"
Luo Bingning muttered to herself.
She couldn't believe it was a case of "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". She had bought clothes and shoes for Lin Tian, but that didn't mean anything.
"Lin Tian, my grandfather and your grandfather were close friends. It would make sense for our families to have more contact."
"Is there some hidden reason behind this?"
After they had eaten for a while, Lin Tian curiously asked.
Luo Bingning hesitated a bit.
"It seems you know. Go ahead, tell me."
Luo Bingning whispered, "Back when they were fighting together, my grandfather didn't have a girlfriend, but yours did. They made a promise to marry each other during that time."
"Later, when my grandfather went to fight in the south, yours didn't go. One day, news came back that your grandfather had sacrificed himself. His girlfriend was devastated, and my grandfather often comforted her."
Lin Tian: "..."
He looked at her with a strange expression. "Your grandmother was my grandfather's girlfriend back then?"
Luo Bingning nodded awkwardly. "Your grandfather didn't return until three years later. By then, my grandfather and your grandmother were already married."
"My grandfather went undercover after that."
Lin Tian sighed. If his grandfather went undercover and news of his death had already spread, he couldn't blame Luo's grandfather. It was just fate.
"On this matter, my grandfather has always felt indebted to yours. But when he wanted to help, your grandfather refused."
Luo Bingning said.
Lin Tian rolled his eyes inwardly.
Although it was fate, if he were in such a situation, he wouldn't accept help either. It's not like he couldn't support himself.
"When they made the engagement agreement back then, plus this incident, my grandfather attached great importance to our engagement. My parents objected, and they argued with my grandfather several times."
"To avoid seeing them argue, I proposed a three-year engagement."
Lin Tian nodded. He finally understood.
Given the Luo family's circumstances, even if their grandfathers were close, Luo's grandfather wouldn't have been so stubbornly insistent.
So, there was a hidden reason behind it.
"Lin Tian, once we're together for real, I'll take you to visit my grandfather's grave."
Luo Bingning nodded. "No problem."
After they finished their meal, Lin Tian quickly washed the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen.
"Lin Tian, let's go for a walk downstairs."
Luo Bingning's face was slightly red.
On the surface, they were boyfriend and girlfriend, and they even registered their marriage in secret. If they went downstairs for a walk, they would definitely have to hold hands and be more intimate.
"Sure."
Lin Tian smiled and nodded.
The two changed their shoes and quickly went downstairs. When they reached the ground floor, Lin Tian extended his hand, and Luo Bingning hesitated before placing her delicate jade-like hand in his.
Luo Bingning's hand was incredibly soft and comfortable to hold.
*Thump, thump!*
Lin Tian, a martial arts master, could tell that Luo Bingning's heartbeat had accelerated significantly.
"Son, come downstairs. Luo Bingning and Lin Tian are taking a walk downstairs."
Wang Xianglian saw Lin Tian and Luo Bingning.
She quickly sent a message to her son, Song Kaifeng.
"Mom, are they taking a walk together? Should I go look for some excitement?"
"Are you stupid? If you and Lin Tian walk together, Luo Bingning will compare the two of you. If you perform well, you'll have a chance later."
"Don't want to see them arguing, so I suggested a three-year engagement."
Lin Tian nodded, finally understanding.
Under normal circumstances, given the Luo family's status and their grandfathers' close relationship, Luo's grandfather wouldn't have insisted so stubbornly.
So, there must be some hidden reason behind it.
"Lin Tian, when we're truly together, I'll take you to visit my grandfather's grave."
Luo Bingning nodded. "No problem."
After finishing their meal, Lin Tian quickly washed the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen.
"Lin Tian, let's go downstairs for a walk."
Luo Bingning's face was slightly red.
