Jiang Mian's eyes widened suddenly, her pupils contracting.

"Wh-what?" She heard it clearly.

But it seemed as if they couldn't understand or comprehend what Lu Bozhou meant.

Jiang Mian's eyelashes trembled gently like butterfly wings, and her lips also quivered slightly.

I'm worried that my voice will tremble and break into pieces as soon as I open my mouth.

She pursed her lips tightly, composed herself slightly, and then spoke.

"What...what do you mean by that?" Jiang Mian asked.

"The literal meaning." Lu Bozhou's expression was calm, if one ignored the unfathomable depths in his gaze.

His expression looked almost no different from usual.

“As you can see,” Lu Bozhou said, “my parents are going to great lengths to force me to get married. It’s very annoying. The Lu family is also always trying to find ways to get close to me.”

"I'm tired of dealing with them, so I don't want them to send me any more random people."

Lu Bozhou raised an eyebrow and looked at her. "Perfect timing, Lu Chaochi likes you too."

Jiang Mian never dreamed that his condition would be like this.

She felt that if she weren't sitting on the sofa, she probably would be a little unsteady.

My vision blurred in waves.

Having lived two lives, she still couldn't escape this man's clutches.

After much back and forth, it seems the last piece of the puzzle is finally in place.

She finally fell into the exact same pit.

Jiang Mian suppressed the throbbing pain in her heart and asked, "Now, President Lu, aren't you afraid that I have ulterior motives?"

Lu Bozhou gave a slight smirk. "It doesn't matter. It won't cause any big trouble."

He looked at Jiang Mian and said, "You can't bear to do anything to Lu Chaochi."

Yes, how could she possibly bear to do that?

Jiang Mian took a deep breath. "How could you be so...shameless?"

She had never cursed him in her past life.

Never had.

But now, if she weren't so lacking in vocabulary, she would definitely have used more than just one word, "shameless," to greet him!

Lu Bozhou was not angry at her words.

His expression remained completely unchanged, as if it could not evoke any emotional response from him at all.

"I, Lu Bozhou, will take responsibility for any woman I've slept with," Lu Bozhou said calmly. "You can refuse; I'm just making a suggestion."

He paused for a moment, then added, "You can also think of it as a marriage proposal."

Jiang Mian looked at the calm and composed handsome face in front of her.

With each pang of pain in my heart, I couldn't help but think, what if... what if I really did take custody of him?

Will this man remain so calm?

Will his expression remain so indifferent?

She really wanted to know.

Jiang Mian's lips moved, and her voice seemed to have become a little hoarse just a moment ago.

"So, Mr. Lu means he wants to...marry me?" Jiang Mian asked.

"Hmm." Lu Bozhou nodded lightly, looking at her. "Are you going to refuse?"

Jiang Mian smiled suddenly, "Why should I refuse?"

She looked at Lu Bozhou, but her gaze was devoid of warmth, emotion, or feeling.

"Someone like me never dreamed I could marry someone as outstanding as Mr. Lu."

Jiang Mian paused, then said almost word by word, "My honor."

In her mind, Gong Yan's words echoed once again.

Stepparents can fight for custody of their stepchildren, so if one can marry the child's biological parents...

It's unlikely, but not impossible.

Jiang Mian's lips curled up slightly; Gong Yan indeed never lied to her.

It's not entirely impossible.

Didn't I just do it?

Lu Bozhou didn't speak, but just looked at her quietly for a moment.

Then, he slightly raised his hand, and the waiter quickly came over.

"Sir, is there anything you need?"

"Pay the bill."

After paying the bill, Lu Bozhou looked at Jiang Mian and said, "Let's go, let's go back. Lu Chaochi won't be able to hold out for long, he's been clamoring to come back."

Jiang Mian stood up and walked to Lu Bozhou's side.

He was tall and imposing, while she was petite and delicate, almost like a bird nestled against a tree.

It looks very docile.

They walked outside together, where the driver was already waiting by the car.

Seeing them come out, he opened the back door of the car.

Jiang Mian looked at Lu Bozhou, "Mr. Lu, I can't go back with you yet."

Lu Bozhou frowned slightly but didn't say anything. His expression alone was enough to intimidate everyone.

Jiang Mian said, "I don't want Xiao Shitou to see me like this."

After saying this, Jiang Mian looked up at him.

With just a slight glance down, Lu Bozhou could see the hickeys on her neck and behind her ears that were hard to hide.

They are all his masterpieces.

Lu Bozhou didn't seem to care as much as she did. "It's only a matter of time."

He paused, then raised his lips slightly, the curve of which seemed mocking.

"You don't think I'll marry you and do nothing, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mian's scalp tingled, and her face immediately turned red!

But she insisted, "Even so... I don't want Xiao Shitou to see me like this before we actually get married."

Jiang Mian gritted her teeth.

However, Lu Bozhou did not insist on it.

"Alright," he replied casually.

Jiang Mian originally thought that he meant he agreed that she would not go back with him for the time being.

Unexpectedly, Lu Bozhou's next words were, "I'll talk to Song Xun and ask Lu Chaochi to stay at his grandparents' house for one night."

Jiang Mian was stunned, "..."

She never expected Lu Bozhou to say that.

After a few seconds of silence, he said, "I have to go back and tell my mom about this."

After hearing this, the man finally stopped insisting.

They originally intended to send her to Lixian, but Jiang Mian repeatedly refused.

So I took her to the high-speed rail station.

Jiang Mian was in the waiting room, looking at the time on her train ticket.

Without hesitation, he turned and left the station.

She got into a taxi and gave them an address.

Before long, the taxi arrived at the residential area.

The security in the residential area is not as strict as in the mansion, and she also has access control codes.

Jiang Mian entered the residential area smoothly, went into the apartment building, and took the elevator.

The elevator ascended and finally stopped on the thirty-first floor.

Jiang Mian stepped out of the elevator and stopped in front of the door.

She took a deep breath.

Looking at the large door in front of me, and at the panel of the electronic door lock.

She was so nervous that her fingers were stiff, but she still picked up her phone and dialed the number.

As she dialed the number, Jiang Mian reached out and gently pressed her finger on the electronic door lock.

The password panel lit up.

At the same time, the call was connected.

The woman's voice on the other end of the phone was still a little hoarse, "Jiang Mian? What's up? Have you decided when to meet me?"

“I’m at your door,” Jiang Mian said.

I thought I would be nervous, even my fingers were stiff, but when it came time to speak to Gong Yan, my voice was inexplicably calm.

"What?" Gong Yan's voice sounded shocked on the other end.

Meanwhile, the sound of the electronic door lock being activated could already be heard over the phone.

Gong Yan suddenly looked towards her front gate!

The sound of entering the password from the door lock and the beeping sound from the phone overlapped.

The door opened the next second.

Gong Yan stared in shock at the doorway. The face of the woman standing there seemed to overlap for a moment with the face of the woman in her memory. "Qiqi is here to ask for votes and favorites! I need everyone's support, mwah!"
