32-year-old Ren Xue'er, single since birth, finally couldn't bear her parents' incessant urging to marry. She agreed to a blind date to marry herself off and escape her suffocating orig...
"Okay." Lu Tingen's dark eyes suddenly brightened, and a hint of a smile appeared in his deep eyes. "How do you want to refute? I don't mind you coming back."
Ren Xueer: “…”
The woman looked at the shameless man in front of her with a puzzled look on her face, complaining in her heart.
Come back?
She is not stupid, he has a nice idea!
Tui!
Scumbag!
He is serious in front of others and is just like that in private.
Seeing her staring at him for a long time without saying anything, Lu Tingen raised his eyebrows and smirked, "Have you scolded enough?"
"No..." Ren Xue'er answered subconsciously, but when she realized something was wrong, she immediately changed her words, "Who, who scolded you?"
"Really?" The man sat down on the bed and glanced at her indifferently with his eyes lowered.
"Of course, you are my boss. I dare not scold you no matter who I scold!" Ren Xueer stared at the man and smiled foolishly. Her body was also busy. She slowly crawled to the other side of the bed, trying to keep a distance from the man.
The man saw through her thoughts immediately, raised his hand and grabbed the woman's ankle to drag her back, "Hasn't you scolded me enough?"
The man exuded a terrifying and intimidating aura. Ren Xueer felt a little scared. At this moment, she could only use a smile to hide her inner embarrassment, "Hehe..."
Damn it.
Ren Xueer, it’s all your fault for talking too fast.
Why did you have to pick on this hypocrite when you could pick on anyone else?
"Don't force a smile with such a pig-like face." The man looked at her red and swollen face and frowned in disgust. "Smiling is uglier than crying."
"You..." Ren Xue'er raised her eyes and met the man's gaze. She immediately gave up and made an excuse to slip away. "Forget it, it's just a pig's head. I'm hungry. I'm going to have dinner first."
"return!"
The woman paused and looked back at the man lying on the bed. "What's wrong?"
"Did you hear what I just said?"
Ren Xueer pretended to be dumbfounded, "Ah? What? What did you say? What did you say just now?"
"Ren Xue'er!" The man suddenly jumped off the bed and approached her step by step, with a strong sense of oppression. "Don't play dumb with me. Did those unfamiliar faces in the living room see it just now?"
Ren Xueer frowned, thinking carefully, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "You mean that weird old man? Who is he?"
"It's not just him." The man's eyes were filled with seriousness as he spoke word by word: "He is the housekeeper of our Lu family. My mother sent him here to monitor us. He also came with a group of strange maids. Don't reveal your true identity in front of them. Understand?"
"Oh." Ren Xueer nodded thoughtfully.
No wonder he was acting so abnormal tonight, it turned out to be because of this.
"Also, sleep here tonight."
"I see." Ren Xue'er crossed her arms, frowning, and raised the question in her mind, "How long will you live here?"
"What do you think?"
"Nonsense, if I knew, would I need to ask you?"
"..." Lu Tingen approached her again. He took a step closer and the woman took a step back. He did not stop until she had no way to retreat and he pushed her against the wall. He gently lifted the woman's chin with one hand.
"Little guy, you're likely to get beaten if you talk to me like that, you know that?"
Ren Xueer pretended to be calm, stood on tiptoe and raised her voice to give herself courage, "Ahem...Isn't it okay if I just ask?"
Lu Tingen's ears were hurt by her voice. A cold voice came from above the woman's head, "Your voice is so strong and powerful, you must not be hungry yet. Then let's sit down and talk about life tonight!"
Ren Xueer lowered her voice immediately after hearing this, "Hehehe... No, no."
"Don't you want to know how long you'll be staying? Come, let's have a good chat."
Ren Xueer looked at the man's fake smile and immediately said, "I don't want to think about it anymore. Can't I just stop asking? You are the boss, you have the final say. From now on, I will listen to you. I will stay as long as you let me."
"You're smart!" The man's stern face finally softened, and he looked the woman over. "You don't have to go to the company tomorrow morning. I'll arrange for Lin Yang to accompany you to try on clothes."
“…” Ren Xueer looked down at her clothes, feeling puzzled.
Isn’t the clothes she is wearing now the ones he bought for her?
Why buy it?
"Distracted?"
Ren Xueer: "Well, no need to buy more. I think having enough clothes is enough. Besides, you bought me so many pieces last time, and now there are still many unworn ones hanging in the closet gathering dust!"
Lu Tingen stared at her with burning eyes, "Who just said to listen to me?"
"Um?"
"Alright, no one can change my decision." The man looked at her conflicted expression, as if deliberately reminding her, "Little girl, while you are yourself, don't forget that you have a more important identity: Mrs. Lu."
"oh."
Ren Xueer answered blankly, Yes!
She is Lu Tingen's wife now, even if it is fake, but she cannot dress sloppily in the Lu family. She must look like a proper hostess and must not let them find out anything.
This was what they agreed upon from the beginning.
Thinking of this, the woman looked up at the man in front of her, her eyes filled with unprecedented determination.
"Mr. Lu, let's split the bill!"
As soon as the woman finished speaking, the man was stunned for several seconds, and suddenly a playful smile appeared at the corner of his lips, "Woman, I didn't hear clearly, what did you say?"
Ren Xueer looked at him firmly, her eyes full of seriousness, "I said we should go AA!"
"AA?" Lu Tingen raised his eyebrows thoughtfully, a fleeting look of surprise flashing in his eyes.
interesting!
He doesn’t want the car keys and plans to return the red envelope given by the elders, and this time he even suggests going Dutch?
Don't want to have any financial involvement with him?
Or are you afraid that you owe him too much and won’t be able to settle it when you break up?
separate……
The man's face suddenly turned gloomy at the thought of separation, and he felt inexplicably unhappy in his heart.
Seeing that the man was hesitant to express his opinion, Ren Xueer gently tugged at the corner of his clothes, "Mr. Lu, are you listening?"
"Yeah." Lu Tingen came back to his senses, with an elusive emotion in his deep eyes.
"You eat my food, wear my clothes, live in my house, and use my things. With your monthly salary of 5,000, are you sure you want to go AA with me?"
"Yeah, I can do that."
The determination in Ren Xueer's eyes made the man inexplicably irritated. There was a malicious smile on the corner of his lips, and an ambiguous light flashed in his eyes.
"Okay, sure, no problem at all! This dress of yours costs 80,000. Counting everything else in your wardrobe, 1, 2, 3... Add to that bags, shoes, utilities, property management fees, and premium food... that's almost a few million a month..."
"How many, how many millions?" Ren Xue'er opened her mouth in surprise, staring at the chattering man in front of her in shock. "And it's only been a month?"
Oh my god!
What on earth is this guy talking about?
