Chapter 11 Marry Me
I don't know when it started to drizzle outside the window.
Rain splashed on the glass windows.
The air was filled with the smell of moisture.
The warmth from Xu Mo's fingertips came through the fabric of her cuffs.
Lin Jingchuan's wrist seemed to be burned.
He turned around and pulled out her slender fingers that were clutching her sleeve.
In the darkness, Xu Mo heard Lin Jingchuan's voice.
"You know what it means to ask a grown man not to leave in the middle of the night, right?"
Xu Mo nodded, she raised her hand to Lin Jingchuan's neck and pressed her lips against his.
But Lin Jingchuan avoided him and asked in a deep voice, "You know who I am, huh?"
Xu Mo hummed faintly: "Lin Jingchuan..."
Lin Jingchuan held her waist and sank to the bottom of the sea.
…
The next morning, after Xu Mo woke up, it took her a while to fully remember what happened last night.
She originally thought it was a dream, but the moment she lifted the quilt and saw her naked body, she was sure that it was all real.
Did she really sleep with her client?
Xu Mo pursed her lips, and her first reaction at that moment was: Run!
But this is her own home.
Where could she run to?
There was no trace of the man in the room, but Xu Mo heard a sizzling sound in the living room.
After putting on her clothes, she carefully observed the movements at the door.
Lin Jingchuan came out of the kitchen and saw that the door that was originally closed was now half-open.
If you look closely, you can see two legs as white as jade.
Placing the prepared scrambled eggs and shrimp on the table, Lin Jingchuan asked naturally, "Are you awake?"
Xu Mo hesitated for a moment and slowly opened the door.
She first just stuck her head out, and then slowly moved her body out from behind the door.
Pulling out the chair, Xu Mo smiled at him awkwardly: "Good morning."
Lin Jingchuan brought two more cups of coffee from the kitchen and a set of silver cutlery in his hand.
He handed one to Xu Mo: "Eat it while it's hot."
Xu Mo took it: "...Thank you."
The man opposite cut a piece of scrambled egg as usual, and didn't seem to want to mention what happened last night.
Xu Mo was feeling uneasy. She poked it a few times with a fork, picked up a small piece, and put it between her lips and tongue.
Lin Jingchuan suddenly asked: "Isn't it delicious?"
Xu Mo quickly shook her head and took a sip of coffee: "No, it's delicious."
Lin Jingchuan asked, "Since these are the only ingredients in your refrigerator, I only made these."
Xu Mo didn't know what to say, so she just nodded twice.
Lin Jingchuan added: "If you have anything you particularly like to eat, you can tell me."
after?
Xu Mo opened her eyes slightly, trying to understand what he meant.
What he meant was, would he make breakfast for her again in the future, or would something like what happened last night happen again in the future?
But he and she had just had a one-night stand, so what could happen in the future?
Xu Mo didn't respond.
Lin Jingchuan was not in a hurry and drank his coffee slowly.
The atmosphere was tense for a while.
After hesitating for a while, Xu Mo decided to take the initiative and said, "Last night... I drank too much. I'm sorry."
Lin Jingchuan was silent for a moment and put down his knife and fork.
The silver cutlery jingled against the porcelain bowls.
"Drunk?" Lin Jingchuan seemed to laugh.
Xu Mo was a little frightened by his laughter.
"Well, I know I was the one who took the initiative." Xu Mo pursed her lips and said, "But I really was drunk. It wasn't intentional. I can't drink much..."
Lin Jingchuan watched her with her head lowered lower and lower.
"Xu Mo, you know how important what happened last night is to a man."
He said slowly, "So, what happened last night can't be offset by just an apology."
Xu Mo was stunned for a moment, then raised her head: "Huh?"
Lin Jingchuan said: "Be responsible for me."
"How, how to take responsibility..." Xu Mo stuttered.
Lin Jingchuan: "Marry me."
Xu Mo:!
Dudu crawled out from under the sofa, ran to Xu Mo's chair, and rubbed her legs.
In the past, if Dudu had been so flattering, Xu Mo would have definitely picked it up and kissed and hugged it.
But at this moment she had no intention of doing this.
Her brain's CPU was running so fast that it was about to burn out.
"But you're my client, and we'll be working on projects together later..."
"I'll take care of this matter. Don't worry, just work normally."
"But my parents don't know yet..."
"I can buy a plane ticket right now to visit my uncle and aunt."
Xu Mo fell into silence again.
Lin Jingchuan said slowly: "I know you just experienced a breakup, but you can't just let go of an eight-year relationship. So, you need someone to help you forget this relationship."
Xu Mo bit her lip: "But this is unfair to you."
Lin Jingchuan shook his head. "You're wrong. To be honest, I'm actually looking for a marriage partner right now. There are two reasons for this. First, I'm 31 years old now, and my family elders are getting older and are pushing me to get married. Second, as you know, I'm the vice president of a listed company like Landa Group, and the image of a married man makes me more trustworthy."
"Then...why me?"
Lin Jingchuan said it very bluntly: "Beautiful, with a stable and respectable job, and a well-off family."
Xu Mo lowered her eyes. Although Lin Jingchuan's words were very straightforward, they were not wrong.
And she...
She will get married eventually.
Lin Jingchuan is a very good marriage partner.
Be it appearance, income level, educational background or personality, there is nothing wrong with him.
She hasn't told her parents about her breakup with Zhao Tingyu yet.
If I tell him, I might get scolded again.
Maybe you will even be asked to go on a blind date.
Instead of marrying complete strangers, she might as well marry Lin Jingchuan. At least he is her senior and knows her well.
Seeing that she seemed to be thinking, Lin Jingchuan took the initiative to say, "You can think about it for a while and then give me an answer."
Xu Mo nodded, then shook her head: "No need."
Xu Mo asked, "Do you have your ID card with you?"
Lin Jingchuan raised the corners of his lips slightly: "I brought it."
Xu Mo opened her palm, and Lin Jingchuan took out an ID card and placed it in her palm.
Xu Mo opened the government service mini program and found the entrance to the marriage registration appointment.
After filling in the basic information of their IDs, Xu Mo asked, "What date are you free?"
Lin Jingchuan: "There's a launch meeting next Monday, so I'll take a day off next Tuesday."
Xu Mo nodded and glanced at the appointment information on the appointment interface: "Oh, there are no appointments for next Tuesday."
"Next Wednesday then."
"Morning or afternoon?"
"Anything is fine."
Xu Mo saw that there was an appointment available in the morning, so she selected a time slot and submitted the appointment.
"I have an appointment next Wednesday from 9 to 10 at the Tianhe District Civil Affairs Bureau."
Lin Jingchuan nodded: "I'll pick you up."
Xu Mo subconsciously didn't want to trouble him, but when she thought about the fact that they were about to get a marriage certificate, she didn't say the words of refusal.
