Even though the connection was already established, Chen Jing was still making a last-ditch effort.

"Can't I rent a place?"

Luo Yifan could already see victory beckoning to him, so of course he couldn't back down now.

"I'm not used to living in rented apartments. Who knows what kind of people have lived there before?"

Seeing that she had no other choice, Chen Jing could only let out a long sigh and say.

"Why don't you stay at my place until you buy a house? Anyway, Ying'er and Zizai rarely come back to stay these days. You can sleep in Zizai's room, okay?"

Luo Yifan suppressed his excitement, a hint of surprise on his face, "Is this really okay? Are Ying'er and Zizai okay?"

He didn't know if Zizai had any connection to Zhu Qianying, but he knew that Zhu Qianying definitely had no connection to him!

Chen Jing felt that everyone around her had been corrupted by her eldest daughter; Luo Yifan wasn't originally like this.

"It should be fine, I'll go ask them now!"

Luo Yifan was more than happy to accept, so the two of them walked out of the office one after the other.

This time, Chen Jing walked in front, and Luo Yifan walked behind.

“Zizai, your grandpa Luo isn’t used to staying in hotels, but he can’t find a place to stay right away. Could he stay in your room for a while until he finds a place to stay?”

The young master, who had been resting his chin on his hand, pondering his next move to corner Bai Xiaolu, looked up at Chen Jing with a bewildered expression.

After a moment, he realized what was happening. His dark eyes darted around twice, and he glanced at his mother's reaction out of the corner of his eye before nodding emphatically.

"It's okay. Anyway, I don't want to live there anymore. Grandpa Luo, you can stay as long as you want. I won't kick you out!"

Luo Yifan couldn't help but love his generous little master, so he bent down and kissed his chubby little face.

"Thank you, Zizai. Then Grandpa Luo won't be polite!"

The young master waved his hand generously, "OK, approved! Grandpa Luo, do as you please!"

Such domineering words immediately made Luo Yifan and Zhu Qianying laugh, and even Chen Jing, who was initially feeling a little embarrassed, couldn't help but laugh.

Over here, a few people around the small table were happily discussing who would get the little one's bedroom when suddenly a man in a suit walked in from the doorway, carrying a large bouquet of red roses.

Because the bouquet of roses was too big, Xiaoya couldn't see the man's face clearly, so she quickly went up to him and greeted him, "Sir, do you have an appointment?"

As Xiaoya walked closer, she could vaguely see the face wearing sunglasses behind the bouquet.

However, the man ignored her, looked around at the door, and then strode towards Chen Jing with the bouquet in his hand.

Xiao Tao and the other bodyguard immediately sensed something was wrong and rushed over like arrows, but they were still a step too late. By the time they reached Chen Jing's side, the man in sunglasses had already knelt down on one knee in front of Chen Jing.

The group of people who were laughing were all startled by the man in sunglasses. By the time they came to their senses, the man had already handed Chen Jing a bouquet of bright red roses in one hand and a brocade box containing a ring in the other.

"Ah Jing, marry me!"

At this moment, apart from the two little ones who were completely bewildered, Zhu Qianying, Chen Jing, and even Luo Yifan all realized that the man in sunglasses in front of them was none other than Zhu Zhizhou, the scumbag who had toyed with Chen Jing's feelings for twenty years.

After recognizing this person, Zhu Qianying's eyes blazed with anger. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but Luo Yifan grabbed her and winked at her. With his other hand, he reached out and tightly grasped Chen Jing's trembling hand, which was hanging by her side.

Then, he pulled the mother and daughter behind him, and took a step forward, looking down at Takenoshima.

"Mr. Zhu, you're asking A-Jing to marry you, but what gives you the right?"

Zhu Zhizhou clearly hadn't expected that he would run into Luo Yifan again when he came to beg Chen Jing last time, and now he would run into Luo Yifan again when he came to coax Chen Jing.

Is this person someone he's incompatible with? Why is it that he's always causing trouble wherever he goes?

“Mr. Luo, this is none of your business. This is my family matter. Please step aside!” Zhu Zhizhou said rudely.

Although he was wearing sunglasses, obscuring his expression, the anger on his face was crystal clear.

Luo Yifan smiled wryly, "Your family matters? Sorry, your family matters should be resolved at the Zhu family. What are you doing here?"

Zhu Zhizhou grew increasingly impatient and spoke to Luo Yifan in a gruff voice.

"A-Jing is my wife. What are you, an outsider, babbling about here for?"

Luo Yifan's expression suddenly changed. He reached out and, taking Zhu Zhizhou by surprise, snatched the ring from his hand, examined it closely, and then sneered.

"Your wife? Then why are you even proposing?"

A cold gaze fell on Zhu Zhizhou's face. Before he could answer, she pressed on aggressively, "Who in L City doesn't know that your legal wife, Zhu Zhizhou, is named Zhu Shaofen? You're here to propose now? Fine, bring your divorce certificate!"

Zhu Zhizhou's anger intensified, and he forgot that he was still kneeling to propose. He stood up abruptly and roared at Luo Yifan.

"Luo Yifan, this is between me and A Jing, it's none of your business!"

Luo Yifan and Zhu Zhizhou are about the same height, but Zhu Zhizhou is a size bigger than Luo Yifan. In terms of physique, Zhu Zhizhou should have a slight advantage.

Strangely, despite Zhu Zhizhou being stronger and having a louder voice, Luo Yifan, who appeared calm and composed, still exuded a stronger aura.

He gripped Chen Jing's hand tightly, which was trembling more and more violently, his calm eyes meeting Zhu Zhizhou's angry gaze.

“Mr. Zhu, since you can’t produce a divorce certificate, yet you proposed to A-Jing, that’s bigamy, do you know that? Besides, do you think that just because you asked, A-Jing will definitely agree to you?”

Zhu Zhizhou glared at him. "Of course! Jing and I have a relationship spanning decades. How can we just cut it off like that?"

Luo Yifan turned his head and gave Chen Jing a deep look, then pulled her forward a little with a forceful gesture.

"Ah Jing, tell him, what is your relationship with me!"

Chen Jing was slightly taken aback and glanced at him in a flustered manner. Luo Yifan didn't say anything, but gave her an encouraging smile and an approving look.

Chen Jing stared at him silently for a moment, then finally took a deep breath, and faced Zhu Zhizhou directly, speaking to the expectant Zhu Zhizhou with great seriousness and earnestness.

"Zhu Zhizhou, we broke off all ties years ago. You owe me nothing, and I owe you nothing. We're just strangers now. Please, as a married man, don't try to fool me with something as stupid as a marriage proposal. I'm not the same foolish Chen Jing I was years ago. To avoid any misunderstandings, could you please get out of here in front of my boyfriend?"
