Lu Yinchuâs face was as gentle as ever, the halo polished onto his body and face, showing off a calm and casual temperament.
His handsome face held a bit of the unfathomable, causing one to feel apprehensive and recognize that this man is quite extraordinary.
And in fact, he was indeed extraordinary, exceptionally different from the rest!
However, Nanxiâs heart was a bit stirred at the moment, unable to explore other thoughts, because Lu Yinchu said he had a condition?
What condition?
Nanxi remembered the last time in the hotel, when she had âsuspected the intentions of others based on her own small-mindednessâ, Lu Yinchu did not make things difficult for her.
Instead, he proposed to invest in her uncleâs painting and calligraphy business, ready to expandâ¦
So this timeâ¦
âWhat condition?â Nanxi asked, her nerves slightly strained.
Lu Yinchu saw her expression and laughed softly, âDonât be so nervous, I promise this condition is one that you can fulfill!
And in principle, you wonât be at any disadvantage!â
Nanxi nodded, âPlease go on!â
âIâm thirty-two this year, my birthday is on the 7th of August, and my parents want me to get married and have children before I turn thirty-three.
Even if I donât get married, I should at least have a female companion with the intention of marriageâ¦â
Nanxi frowned, somewhat puzzledâ¦
This seemed to have nothing to do with herâ¦
Lu Yinchu said, âNanxi, I want you to be my temporary girlfriendâ¦
Of course, I know you have a boyfriend, so the girlfriend Iâm talking about is pretending to be my girlfriend, accompanying me occasionally to meet my parents, just to appease themâ¦
Other than these instances, you are free!â
âMr.
Luâ¦â
Nanxi was stunned, utterly bewildered by Lu Yinchuâs words.
She drew a deep breath, trying to pull herself togetherâ¦
âMr.
Lu, Iâm sorry, I still donât quite understand what you mean, pretend to be your girlfriend?
Handle your parents?
Why?
If your parents want you to get married and have children, with your qualifications, you should be able to find a great woman.
Why would youâ¦â
Why would he do this, and why was she the one chosenâ¦
Nanxi really didnât understand.
If Lu Yinchu, a man of such high stature, just mentioned that he wanted a girlfriend, women from all over H City would rush towards himâ¦
But Nanxi couldnât figure it out again, last time Lu Yinchu had agreed to have a blind date with Qiaoqiao.
This proves that he did have the intention of finding a life partner, so why nowâ¦
Or was it that Lu Yinchu even went on the blind date just to keep appearances?
Yeah, thatâs right.
Otherwise, why would he have refused to meet Qiaoqiao afterwardsâ¦
As expected, Nanxi drew a deep breath, thankfully, Qiaoqiao was held up that day.
Otherwise, if she had gone and ended up being disliked by Lu Yinchu, it would have been a mess back homeâ¦
She knew Qiaoqiaoâs temperament too well!
Lu Yinchu paused for a moment, then spoke in a deep voice, âI know you have some doubts.
If I have to explain them all, there are basically three points:
First, there is actually a woman in my heart, but for some reason, I canât find her right now.
Before that, I donât want to get entangled with any other women.
Second, I need a woman to help me deal with my parents.
One who doesnât have much ulterior motives and wonât expect or even delude herself because of helping me.
As you have a boyfriend and seem to have a good relationship with him, I am not worried about this.
Third, you need my help, so our relationship can be considered as cooperation, with equality on both sides and no other complicating factors.
I like clean and neat relationships, and I am sure my parents will like a girl like you, which is why I chose you!â
Inhale, exhale, inhale againâ¦
She tried hard to settle her jumbled thoughts, but it seemed impossibleâ¦
Nanxi was beginning to lose controlâ¦
Lu Yinchu continued, âThe term is one year, except for my parents and a few of my friends, our relationship can be kept secret under conditions inconvenient for youâ¦
The reason for one year is because I want to give myself a year to find the woman I deeply love in my heart, and I believe I can find herâ¦
Of course, rest assured, during this period, it wonât be for free.
I can provide you with living expenses, gratuitously supply the funds you need, and foster your uncleâs painting and calligraphy businessâ¦â
