Jiang Mian wasn't even sure if she was hallucinating, or if he really said that.

"Again," you're asking me to ask for more money?

Jiang Mian hoped that what those words meant was just her imagination.

Because Gong Yan couldn't possibly ask Jiang Mian to ask him for more money again.

But Gong Yan could 'again' ask Jiang Mian to ask him for more money!

Gong Yan once told Jiang Mian to ask Lu Bozhou for more money and to think more about her own future.

"Wh-what...?" Jiang Mian's eyes widened slightly, her pupils contracted, and she stared straight at Lu Bozhou.

The man chuckled softly, "What are you afraid of? Didn't you meet with Gong Yan and even have dinner together? Did she teach you that? Trying to get more money from me?"

Hearing this, Jiang Mian breathed a slight sigh of relief.

After composing himself, he said, "Attorney Gong offered me free consultations, as if she had a grudge against you."

“So I want more money.” Jiang Mian looked at him.

Now that the words have been spoken, it doesn't matter whether I can say them or not.

“I don’t need a car, but I need money. I need three million a year. And…”

Jiang Mian bit her lip and continued speaking.

“I don’t intend to waste my time with you, Mr. Lu. I’m still young, I have a future. I…”

She looked into Lu Bozhou's eyes, hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke, "...I don't want to marry an old man."

Lu Bozhou had just turned thirty, in the prime of his life, a time when a man's career is successful, he has shed his youthful immaturity and developed a mature charm.

The best age.

However, compared to Jiang Mian's age of twenty-two.

Calling him an old man is not entirely unreasonable.

“I know that Mr. Lu married me only because he had no other choice, so I hope that Mr. Lu can find the right person as soon as possible and let me go.”

Jiang Mian said, "One year, Mr. Lu, I'll only do it for one year."

A year later, she took the three million and left.

Lu Bozhou looked at her calmly, his gaze deep and unfathomable.

This made Jiang Mian feel uneasy.

"Three million is fine, but as for the timeframe, I need to think about it some more," the man said in a low voice.

Jiang Mian frowned, just about to speak up again to try and persuade them.

Then the man's voice suddenly turned cold, "Alright, Jiang Mian, if you push your luck any further, you'll end up with nothing. I'd like to see how Gong Yan can help you then."

Jiang Mian pursed her lips and didn't bring up the matter again, only saying, "Then Mr. Lu, please be careful on your journey."

"Let's go." Lu Bozhou then turned around.

Jiang Mian breathed a sigh of relief, but she hadn't quite let out a full sigh yet.

The man who had reached the door suddenly stopped and turned to look at her.

"We're already married, so you don't need to call me President Lu anymore."

Jiang Mian blinked. "President Lu, what should I call you?"

Lu Bozhou said calmly, "Just call me husband."

After saying this, the man opened the door and left the honeymoon suite.

Jiang Mian was still reeling from the words "Just call me husband" that had just been uttered.

How about I call him husband?

In her past life, her favorite thing to do was call him "husband".

Her husband came and went, and although he was rude, she was sad but never gave up.

Lu Bozhou never seemed to like hearing her call him "husband." Every time he heard it, he would frown, as if he was very unhappy.

Now look what's happened? The first day of the wedding?

Should I ask her to call me "husband"?

Jiang Mian forcefully shoved the barbecue skewers into the trash can, wishing it were Lu Bozhou's blind eyes!

The next day, Jiang Mian woke up early.

I tidied myself up nicely and prepared to pick up my son.

Jiang Mian was actually a little nervous because her status was now different.

She worried that Xiao Shitou might have a hard time accepting it.

Little Stone really likes her.

But even if you like her, it doesn't mean you're willing to let her be your stepmother.

These are two different concepts and two different things.

Feeling uneasy, Jiang Mian went to the mall and toy store first, and bought a big box of Lego.

It's the one that Little Stone really likes. He had said before that he wanted his dad to buy this one so they could build it together next time.

Then I bought some delicious snacks.

After preparing all of this, Jiang Mian dialed Lu Bozhou's number.

To my surprise, the phone rang several times, but no one answered.

Jiang Mian frowned.

Just as I was about to hang up, the other end answered.

"Madam?" Song Xun's voice came from the other end.

"Hello, Assistant Song. Lu... Bozhou told me yesterday that he's going to pick up Xiaoshitou today," Jiang Mian said.

“The boss told me, but he’s busy with some things right now, so…” Song Xun hesitated for a moment.

He then said, "How about we go tomorrow? Or if you could pick up the young master..."

Jiang Mian thought about it for a moment and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"Okay, then I'll go there myself. Is Little Stone at his grandparents' house?"

“Yes, I will send you the address,” Song Xun said. “I will also send a secretary to deliver it to you.”

Jiang Mian, however, felt there was no need for it.

She knew exactly where Lu Hong and Yan Ke lived.

It was like the gates of hell.

In her past life, she went to the hospital after being released from the womb and then died.

As for whether the secretary will come or not...

To be honest, Lu Hong and Yan Ke might not necessarily give their secretary any face.

In her past life, when Lu Bozhou didn't go to the Lu family with her, Song Xun did assign her a secretary.

But what's the use?

It's useless.

Because in everyone's eyes, including the secretary's, Lu Bozhou's parents were clearly much more important than his cheap wife.

So it's normal for her to suffer.

However, Jiang Mian did not refuse Song Xun's kindness.

After ending the call, Jiang Mian headed towards Lu Hong and Yan Ke's residence.

Jiang Mian was very nervous when she arrived.

Looking at that familiar neighborhood, those familiar buildings.

Jiang Mian didn't know where her anxiety came from.

Is it because he's nervous about meeting Xiao Shitou under a new identity?

Or is it because she is nervous about facing Lu Hong and Yan Ke again?

Jiang Mian took a deep breath and walked towards the door of the house.

Ringed the doorbell.

"Who is it? They're here."

A woman's voice came from inside.

Soon, the door was opened.

Yan Ke stood inside the door, her eyes widening instantly as she looked at Jiang Mian standing outside.

"Hello, I'm here to pick up Xiao Shitou." Jiang Mian couldn't think of any proper way to address him.

Given her current status, she should logically call Yan Ke "Mom".

But she just couldn't bring herself to call him that. In her past life, she called him that every time, hoping that it would make Yan Ke like her a little more.

Even if you don't like her, at least don't be so dissatisfied with her.

The most common response I got was, "Don't call me Mom, I'm not your mom."

So this time, Jiang Mian was too lazy to bother.

"Who do you think you are! How dare you come here? What right do you have to pick up my grandson?! Get out! You're not welcome here!"

Yan Ke was angry when she thought about the last time Lu Bozhou left with her, and she was also angry when she thought about how Lu Bozhou had actually said he wanted to marry this nanny!

Yan Ke felt even more resentment towards the nanny!

Jiang Mian looked at her and smiled faintly, "Lu... my husband, he asked me to pick up our son." [Qiqi is here to ask for votes and favorites! Muah! Today's episode: Forensic Heroes 1]
