"Do you want to know why this contract exists?"

Lu Peijing asked her. When Su Zhiruan raised her head, she saw his slightly confused but determined eyes looking at her. She sighed deeply in her heart and finally nodded, "I want to know."

It was just with this look that Su Zhiruan knew clearly that she was doomed!

The originally wonderful life may now require the addition of a man!

This Lu Peijing! He is not a CEO at all, he is the steady and mature CEO as described by the media! He is the head of the Lu family, the patriarch of the Lu family! He is clearly a love-brained man! ! Then, she listened quietly to Lu Peijing telling his story.

It may not be entirely a story. To sum it up in one sentence, a child who lacked love in childhood eventually wants love, and a father who promiscuously pursued other women in his youth finally wants his child to be happy with only one person.

"Before I met you, I didn't believe in love or marriage. I always thought that it was a fetter and a shackle that would not bring happiness to people. Even if things are good now, ten, twenty, or even dozens of years later - people are always animals who like new things and dislike old things. I am afraid that my current promises will not be fulfilled in the future. I am afraid of disappointing you."

Su Zhiruan listened quietly and let him hold her hand.

Through the rain and the distant mountains, Lu Peijing forgot about Beijing. When his mind was focused, his heart and eyes were filled with the person in front of him - his sweetheart.

"But I don't want to regret it, and I don't want to regret it for the rest of my life because of my own paranoia. Even if you don't like me, I still want to ask you to give me a chance so that I won't regret it, and won't regret doing this today." Lu Peijing said, and then he solemnly took out a small box from his pocket and handed it to her. "This is my heart. I wanted to give it to you before, but when I woke up in the morning, I reached out and found that I was cold beside me and your room was empty. At that time, my heart died."

Su Zhiruan didn't even need to open it to know what was inside. Apart from the ring, there might be nothing else.

Lu Peijing thought.

It was more than just despair. When he saw that scene, his heart suddenly felt empty. On the first day, he was still hoping for luck, thinking that he wouldn't care about a contract. But who could have thought that on the second day, the third day, the fourth day... Lu Peijing discovered that this contract was originally a complete joke.

His contract stated from the beginning that she would leave Jinghua after giving birth to the child, but when she really left Jinghua, she didn't care at all and had no reluctance at all. He found that he was the one who was shackled. He asked her to leave Jinghua, but when she really flew away and left completely across thousands of kilometers, his, Lu Peijing's heart flew away with her.

From the beginning, it was not that she couldn't live without him, but that he couldn't live without her! What is the definition of a family? Is it a house? A car? Assets? A marriage certificate?

Lu Peijing thought a lot, but in the end, his answer was fixed on one word - she.

During the time when he lost her, he was unwilling to try again. Those were days when he felt hopeless, numb and mechanical.

Su Zhiruan saw Lu Peijing's eyes changing from time to time, and she knew that he was probably thinking a lot in his mind. Even his eyes became dim because she didn't answer.

She sighed deeply, took the small box, and then said calmly, "Mr. Lu, who taught you to propose in such a scene?"

"You... agreed?" Lu Peijing didn't react at first. When he understood what she meant, a look of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes. "You really agreed? This place... I'm sorry, I originally wanted to--"

Su Zhiruan interrupted him and said, what could she do if she disagreed? Lu Peijing looked like he was about to break into pieces. She was not heartless. Everyone could see how Lu Peijing treated her. She would care about him and would be reluctant to let him go, but it was definitely not possible for them to be together directly.

"It was a contractual relationship before, but not now," Su Zhiruan said slowly, "Since there is no relationship now, Mr. Lu, why don't you start over and start by pursuing me?"

"Then will you agree?" Lu Peijing was like a child at this time, persistently wanting an answer. If he couldn't get it, he would show a lost expression.

Su Zhiruan asked back: "How do you know if I will agree if you don't try?"

"Then you will agree." Lu Peijing was overwhelmed by the huge surprise, and subconsciously, he wanted to pick up Su Zhiruan.

Su Zhiruan was quick to jump away and untie the knot in her heart. She planned to follow her inner thoughts. She smiled, her eyes were smart and charming. She bent down slightly, "Whether I will agree or not, and how I will agree, that depends on what Mr. Lu does. Come on!"

"Okay, future Mrs. Lu, I will do my best."

For a moment, both of them couldn't help laughing.

Su Zhiruan thought of her grandmother who was still waiting, so she stood up quickly and said, "I'm leaving first. Grandma is still waiting for me. You can start chasing her from tomorrow."

This time, she ran away immediately. Lu Peijing wanted to say something, but she was gone.

Then... let's start from tomorrow.

When Su Zhiruan delivered the umbrella, grandma was pruning branches. Seeing the smile on her face, she asked curiously, "Why do you look so happy today? Is there any good news?"

"Grandma, what do you think it would be like if I had a family?" Su Zhiruan approached her grandmother and asked like a little girl.

Grandma thought about it, and then said lovingly, "Our Ruan Ruan is definitely the best girl, but grandma still wants to tell you that even if you have a family and marry someone, you still have to work hard to improve yourself. A love that is evenly matched will not be lost."

"Okay, grandma." Su Zhiruan nodded. What grandma wanted to say was that they should marry someone of equal social status.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Afterwards, the grandparents chatted with each other in the rain and returned home together.

* Early the next morning, as soon as Su Zhiruan went downstairs, she heard people around her gossiping and talking about all kinds of breaking news. She just kept her ears open and heard a lot of explosive news.

"Hey, hey, hey, have you heard about it? In our small place, a rich second-generation guy came from nowhere and bought all the flowers in all the flower shops. It is said that he wanted to confess his love!"

"Oh my god, someone is confessing their love in this place? I wonder which girl is so lucky to marry into a rich family."

"I don't know about that. Everyone in the city knew about it early in the morning. When I first heard it, I thought it was a joke!"

When everyone saw Su Zhiruan coming, they all invited her to come and listen to the gossip.

Su Zhiruan asked curiously, "So who are you confessing to?"

"Who knows?! Hey--wait!! Isn't that the rich second generation?!"

Su Zhiruan followed the gaze of the crowd and looked over -

Then, she discovered to her horror that this rich second generation was Lu Peijing! !
