The car was dimly lit, and Cheng Yiyi's body was hidden in the darkness, making it impossible to discern her emotions.
Meng Lianyun lowered his eyes and asked softly:
"Yiyi, are you distancing yourself from me? Why? Did I do something to upset you?"
Cheng Yiyi shook her head slightly:
"no."
"Meng Lianyun, I admit I have some feelings for you, but being together isn't just about liking each other."
Meng Lianyun knew what Cheng Yiyi was talking about:
"Don't worry, I'll talk to my parents. Even if they object, I'm not afraid. I also have a share of the family business, which is enough for me to marry you."
Upon hearing the last two words, Cheng Yiyi suddenly looked up:
"What did you say? Marry me?"
Meng Lianyun looked at Cheng Yiyi intently:
"Yes! I want to marry you. It's not an impulse, nor is it a joke; it's something I've thought about carefully!"
“Yiyi, my body is dirty, but my heart is not. You are the only one who has truly entered this world all these years.”
As he spoke, Meng Lianyun picked up a briefcase from the back seat and handed it to Cheng Yiyi:
“These are assets under my name, including a house and a car. The transfer agreement is inside. As long as you sign it, they are all yours.”
"I can't guarantee that I won't change my mind in the future, but at least I won't let you leave with nothing."
Cheng Yiyi's eyes trembled slightly, her face filled with shock:
When did you prepare these things?
Meng Lianyun: "I went to a lawyer to get these things done as soon as I decided to marry you."
Cheng Yiyi returned the briefcase: "I can't take your things!"
Meng Lianyun: "It's alright, the agreement is valid indefinitely. You can sign it anytime you want."
Cheng Yiyi never expected Meng Lianyun to go to such lengths for her, and at this moment her heart wavered.
Perhaps she could give it a try, even if it was just for Meng Lianyun's sincere feelings.
"Meng Lianyun, I...we can give it a try!"
Hearing Cheng Yiyi's words, Meng Lianyun was stunned for a while, and asked uncertainly:
What did you just say?
Cheng Yiyi smiled and repeated, "I said, we can give it a try."
She had barely finished speaking when Meng Lianyun hugged her tightly:
"I heard you, no take-backs allowed!"
Cheng Yiyi: "I won't go back on my word, but I want to take it slow. If you haven't changed your mind by the time I'm in the same position as you, then we can consider getting married."
Meng Lianyun nodded emphatically: "Okay!"
"Now... can you take me back to school? I still have data to calculate!" Cheng Yiyi said with a smile.
"Can."
Meng Lianyun immediately started the vehicle and took Cheng Yiyi back to school.
When she arrived at the dormitory, everyone else, including Lu Qing, had already returned.
Hearing that she was alone with Meng Lianyun, everyone sensed the gossip.
"Yiyi, you and Meng Lianyun..."
Cheng Yiyi smiled slightly and readily admitted:
"I've agreed to give it a try."
Lu Qing: "Are you ready?"
Cheng Yiyi nodded: "Meng Lianyun has drafted transfer agreements for all the assets under his name. As long as I sign, I can take them at any time."
"Then you're going to become a rich woman?" Leng Wei's eyes lit up with excitement.
Cheng Yiyi rolled her eyes at her:
"What are you thinking! Do you think I'm the kind of person who would give up all principles for money?"
“I didn’t sign the agreement. I need to earn the confidence I want myself, not rely on him to give it to me.”
On the way back, Cheng Yiyi thought about many things.
In terms of background, Lu Qing was much like her before she found her biological parents, and was even poorer than her.
But why didn't anyone consider social status when she was with Gu Xicheng? Cheng Yiyi felt it wasn't just because of the marriage agreement, but also because Lu Qing himself was capable enough.
If you are strong enough, your family background won't seem so important.
Her initial hesitation stemmed not only from the gap between her family and the Meng family, but also from her own lack of self-confidence.
Although Meng Lianyun was a womanizer, he was not a good-for-nothing who just wanted to live off others.
She is currently just a student, and her grades are not particularly outstanding.
Therefore, the only way to suppress one's anxiety and unease is to improve one's abilities.
Only when she herself strives to stand on the same level as Meng Lianyun will she have the confidence to truly not be afraid of being abandoned.
"Let's stop wasting time and start compiling today's data!"
After saying that, Cheng Yiyi sat down at her desk and began to work on her homework diligently.
Seeing the changes in her, Lu Qing and the others were all happy.
The next morning, in order not to miss class, the five of them got up early to finish their lab assignments.
Just after setting up the GPS device, Lu Qing received a call from Wang Yanjun:
"That brat insisted on seeing you last night before he'd leave, and he's been howling here all night. Are you free now?"
Lu Qing glanced at the time. The class was at ten o'clock, and it was only seven-thirty now. She should be able to free up some time.
"Take him to the school gate to find me."
Wang Yanjun: "Okay!"
After Wang Yanjun arrived, Lu Qing rode his electric scooter quickly to get there. Because he was in such a hurry, he accidentally bumped into a girl who ran out from the intersection.
Lu Qing quickly got out of the car and helped her up: "I'm sorry! Are you alright?"
The girl was about to get angry when she looked up and saw Lu Qing. Her eyes instantly filled with admiration.
"You...you are Lu Qing!"
Lu Qing was taken aback: "You know me?"
The girl nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice: "I know you, but you don't know me."
The girl lowered her voice and leaned closer to say:
“I know you’re a fortune teller, the kind who can tell fortunes. Zhu Yuting is my cousin, and she told me.”
"Zhu Yuting..."
Lu Qing thought for a while before she remembered the girl who had been afflicted by the divorce curse that she had saved when school started last year.
It's her!
The girl excitedly extended her hand: "Hello! My name is Liu Manyun. I've only seen you in photos before, I never thought I'd actually meet you in person today."
Lu Qing extended her hand to shake his: "Hello!"
"Idol, can I get your autograph?"
Liu Manyun excitedly took out a pen and handed it to Lu Qing. Lu Qing never expected that she would have fans at school, and couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Lu Qing took the pen and signed his name on her book.
"Since you say I'm your idol, how much do you know about me?"
"Actually, it's not much." Liu Manyun smiled and pinched her fingers together:
"Just a tiny bit."
"Besides your identity, which everyone knows, I also know some things that people don't know."
Lu Qing raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "For example?"
Liu Manyun: "For example, Chen Jiayun, who had AIDS when we received our military training uniforms last year, my cousin's story, and then there were the student council issues..."
"You know so much!" Lu Qing was somewhat surprised.
"If my brother hadn't been so reluctant to reveal more, I would probably know even more," Liu Manyun muttered.
"Who is your brother?" Lu Qing asked, puzzled.
Liu Manyun lowered her voice and said, "He's from the Investigation Bureau, but he's just a nobody. You probably don't remember him."
Lu Qing nodded, now understanding why Liu Manyun knew so much.
However, there are still people in the Investigation Bureau who can't keep their mouths shut; she'll have to talk to her brother about it later.
