Chapter 318 Should I rent a boyfriend?
"Alright, if you're not lying to us, hurry up and bring the person back for us to see. I'll give you a week. If you still can't see the person after a week, you'd better go and go on a blind date with the young master of the Chen family."
"Ah, big sister, please spare me, I don't want to go on blind dates~" Anjing tried to struggle.
“Xiaojing,” Anya said earnestly, “I’m not forcing you to get married, but think about it, you’re not getting any younger, are you? Look at A-Ting, he’s your nephew, and he already has three kids. You, as his aunt, don’t even have a stable partner. How can we not be worried? What if we’re all gone in the future? You won’t even have anyone to take care of you…”
Anjing broke down: "Oh dear, with our family's conditions, do you think I'd worry about being taken care of? Stop talking! I've told you so many times I have a boyfriend. Okay, okay, I promise you, I'll bring him over within a week, alright?"
Upon hearing this, Anya was satisfied: "That's more like it. I'm warning you, you're not allowed to lie to me this time. Don't think I don't know that A-Ting is secretly subsidizing your company. I turned a blind eye before, but if you don't listen to me, I'll immediately tell A-Ting to stop lending you money."
"Hmm...I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Anjing covered her face and sighed deeply. Why can't humans ever escape the topic of being pressured to get married?!
A week... it's not like buying cabbage, where is she supposed to find a man?!
Across from her, Leng Yanluo looked at her and said calmly, "I invited Miss An to dinner because I wanted to make friends with her. I treated Miss An sincerely, but I didn't expect her to lie to me. She just mentioned that she had just broken up with her boyfriend, and now she's calling to say that she has a boyfriend..."
Anjing looked up and sighed, "Didn't Teacher Luo realize that I was being pressured to get married and was just saying that to fool my older sister?"
She shook her head after she finished speaking: "What a disaster! My older sister is serious this time. Seven days. Where am I supposed to find a boyfriend?"
"So... Miss An is going to bring a boyfriend home within seven days?"
"That's right, otherwise they would force me to go on blind dates."
She lay quietly and listlessly on the sofa.
Leng Yanluo looked at her for a while and then said, "Actually, this matter is very easy to handle. If it's just to appease your family, Miss An... have you considered renting a boyfriend?"
Anjing suddenly jumped up with a "wow" expression, but then she deflated: "But my older sister knows all my friends. I can't just grab any man off the street, can I? People will think I'm crazy."
Leng Yanluo nodded: "Indeed."
Then he asked seriously, "Miss An... what do you think of me?"
Quiet:"?"
She paused for half a second, then asked, "What do you mean, 'how about'?" As soon as she said it, she realized her mistake: "Seriously? You want to be my boyfriend?"
Leng Yanluo cleared his throat: "Miss An, you misunderstand. I just thought that if Miss An really doesn't have a suitable candidate, she could hire me to be your boyfriend."
"Hire you?" Anjing didn't understand for a moment.
Leng Yanluo's slightly grainy voice was methodical: "Miss An, let me formally introduce myself. My name is Luo An, I am 189 cm tall and weigh 140 catties. I work at Yudao Academy, so I am a semi-civil servant. It's a respectable job with a stable income."
"Doesn't smoke, drinks occasionally, but only for social occasions, has a stable temperament, can cook, and can do housework..."
"Stop, stop, stop, Teacher Luo, I'm a little confused, are you serious?"
Leng Yanluo took a sip of milk wine, gently put down the cup, and said, "What, Miss An, do you think I'm ugly? That is indeed my only flaw."
Anjing waved her hand: "No, it's not that. Anyway, it's a fake boyfriend. Looks are secondary. I'm just curious why you applied to be my boyfriend. Are you being pressured by your family to get married?"
No, not at all.
Leng Yanluo leaned back slightly, staring into An Jing's eyes, and said naturally, "Because I'm short of money."
Anjing: "Huh?"
Leng Yanluo continued, "Miss An may not know, but my current job provides a stable income, enough to cover my basic living expenses. However, it would be difficult for me to do anything else."
For example... what about...?
“I want to move,” Leng Yanluo said naturally. “The place I live in now is too small, only 60 or 70 square meters. I want to move to an apartment of more than 100 square meters. The average price of a house in Kyoto is 60,000 yuan per square meter, which means I need to save at least 6 million yuan. With the renovation, it will cost at least 8 million yuan.”
"Also, I want to change my car. I've been driving my current car for five or six years, and its performance has deteriorated significantly. Miss An might think I'm materialistic, but with my looks, if these physical attributes don't keep up, I'll never find a wife in my life..."
"If possible, I would also like to have a reconstructive surgery. My face was burned by fire, and the doctor said that as long as I save enough money for a skin graft, it can still be salvaged."
The more Leng Yanluo spoke, the more distressed he became.
These stories, one by one, sound incredibly real!
Finally, he said sincerely, "Ms. An, if you need to rent a boyfriend, please consider me. I'm really short of money."
Anjing was born and raised in the An family. Apart from running a company, she has never had to worry about money when it comes to food and drink.
Her heart softened a little, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "How about this, Teacher Luo? As you said, I agree to hire you as my boyfriend. The commission... ten thousand a day... no, thirty thousand! How about that?"
The corner of his mouth twitched beneath the mask of the cold Yama.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Anjing assumed he thought it was too little, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Thirty thousand is a bit low, how about... fifty thousand a day?"
Just as she was about to continue, Leng Yanluo interrupted her directly: "No need, ten thousand is fine. Although I am short of money, I don't like to take advantage of others. With my terms, ten thousand is already Miss An's kindness."
An Jing suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Ten thousand a day, that price seems... very cheap?
Besides, this can't be called deception; she's helping others achieve their dreams and doing charity!
Even if she gets caught, her older sister will definitely forgive her.
Anjing felt her last bit of burden lifted, a smile appeared on her face, and she extended her hand, saying, "Teacher Luo, it's a pleasure working with you!"
Leng Yanluo reached out and grasped An Jing's soft hand, a slight smile playing on his lips: "It's a pleasure to work with you."
After putting their hands down, the two happily devoured the hot pot.
At the entrance of the hot pot restaurant, Leng Yanluo said, "Miss An, I have a small request regarding this employment relationship."
"Oh? Go ahead." Anjing had resolved her major concern and felt much better. Now, everything she heard sounded exceptionally pleasant.
"Aside from your older sisters, I hope our relationship will remain private. After all, I'm a teacher at the institute, and this is for the sake of my job and Miss An's reputation..."
"Great!" Anjing thought that Teacher Luo was very professional and that the money was well spent: "Your suggestion is excellent! I wholeheartedly agree."
