At this moment, Qin Huai was stunned.

He stared blankly at Lu Qingxue, speechless.

I suspect that this woman may have suffered some kind of trauma.

He clearly doesn't like me at all, but suddenly proposes marriage.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!

Qin Huai frowned slightly and said, "Are you serious?"

"seriously."

Lu Qingxue stood up, looked directly into Qin Huai's eyes, and said, "I secretly had someone investigate you, and I even sent someone to the capital."

Qin Huai suddenly realized: "So, you know my true identity?"

"understood."

Lu Qingxue said calmly, "No wonder Chen Huaidong didn't continue to cause you trouble. The Qin family, ranked ninth among the wealthy families in the capital, Qin Huai, the eldest son of the Qin family, it turns out you were not lying all along."

"Ah."

Qin Huai chuckled, a playful glint in his eyes: "You're only willing to marry me because you know I'm from a wealthy family?"

"That's it."

Lu Qingxue nodded frankly: "I don't understand why a rich young master like you would work as a bartender in a bar in Chongcheng, mixing drinks for people every day and living in a shabby rental room. Maybe you're pretending to be weak to take advantage of others? Or playing the game of life? I don't care."

Lu Qingxue walked closer to Qin Huai, looking at his handsome face up close: "As long as I marry you, I can get rid of Chen Huaidong's entanglement and also prevent the Lu Group from being swallowed up by Chen Huaidong."

"Then you may be disappointed."

Qin Huai shrugged: "It's true that I come from the Qin family, but I've never lived the life of a rich kid. When I was very young, I thought my family was so poor that we could hardly afford to eat."

Lu Qingxue said, "That's not important."

"You didn't understand what I meant."

Qin Huai laughed and said, "You think I traveled all the way to Chongcheng to work as a bartender just to play around with life? No, I ran away from home, penniless, so desperate that I had to work to support myself. Moreover, my relationship with my father is extremely bad; we're practically severing our father-son relationship."

Lu Qingxue frowned: "Why? You are the only heir of the Qin family."

"It's hard to explain in a sentence or two. In short, I have the title of the eldest son of the Qin family, but I have no money, no power, and no connections. If you want to rely on my status to achieve upward mobility, it's destined to be impossible."

Qin Huai asked playfully, "Do you still want to marry me now?"

"Knot!"

Lu Qingxue nodded, speaking with absolute certainty.

"Why? Did I not explain myself clearly enough?" Qin Huai asked, puzzled.

"Chen Huaidong doesn't know any of this. He only knows that you are the eldest son of the Qin family and dare not offend you. That's enough."

"Hahaha……"

Qin Huai burst into laughter.

His eyes were deep and calm, like a stagnant pool.

"So I'm just a tool, a shield, right?"

Lu Qingxue looked at Qin Huai: "Is it okay?"

"Yes! Of course!"

Qin Huai smiled and asked, "After we get married, will you share a bed with me?"

Lu Qingxue shook her head: "No, we are just in a fake marriage. You can live the life you want, and I won't interfere. At the same time, you can't interfere with my life either."

"Then why should I agree to marry you?"

"Isn't this what you've always wanted? Take responsibility for me, you said it yourself."

"I've changed my mind."

Qin Huai, with a roguish air, said, "Now it's my turn to pull up my pants and deny everything."

Lu Qingxue remained silent for a while, then whispered, "Do you really want me to sleep with you?"

"correct."

Qin Huai nodded and said, "There's no such thing as a free lunch. If you want something, you have to give something in return."

Lu Qingxue gritted her teeth: "It's meaningless. Even if I sleep with you, it's just sleeping in the same bed but dreaming different dreams. You're not in my heart."

"It's okay, I never thought about winning your heart, just having you is enough, so I can vent my frustrations whenever I want..."

Lu Qingxue raised her hand to slap Qin Huai.

Qin Huai grabbed Lu Qingxue's wrist, a slight smile playing on his lips: "What? You really think it's so easy to be the young mistress of the Qin family?"

"Shameless!"

Lu Qingxue's eyes were filled with hatred: "I am not a tool for you to vent your anger!"

"You feel your personality and self-esteem have been insulted? It's not that serious, it was just a transaction, you said."

Lu Qingxue's heart heaved violently: "I must have been blind! Get out of my room!"

"I was blind."

Qin Huai released her hand and stared coldly at Lu Qingxue: "From now on, there is nothing between us anymore. Consider that night a nightmare. I will forget it, and you'd better forget it too."

"it is good!"

Lu Qingxue nodded emphatically: "It's a deal!"

Qin Huai turned and left without the slightest hesitation.

With a bang, Lu Qingxue slammed the door shut.

Lu Qingxue sat listlessly on the edge of the bed, tilting her head slightly and staring blankly at her reflection in the vanity mirror.

"What did I say... How could I... have become like this..."

Qin Huai, expressionless, tossed the plate into the automatic dishwasher.

Hearing the rushing water, a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Lu Qingxue, you really are a competent businesswoman! But now that I feel this way, I feel no guilt at all."

"Yeah, it's just a nap, it's not like it'll hurt you. What era are we living in? How many people would really care if it's their first time?"

Qin Huai kept trying to comfort himself, but he felt indescribably sad.

There was a feeling of anger stuck in my chest, and I just couldn't let it out.

He lit a cigarette in frustration and puffed out smoke.

The smell of the smoke even tasted bitter.

"grass!"

With a curse, Qin Huai stubbed out his cigarette, threw the barely lit cigarette into the trash can, walked out of the villa, crossed the lawn, and sat sprawled out on a wooden chair by Phoenix Lake.

It was almost nine o'clock, and the evening breeze still carried a lingering heat, making Qin Huai increasingly annoyed.

buzzing...

The cell phone rang suddenly.

Qin Huai was already annoyed, and without even looking at who was calling, he said irritably, "Spit it out."

There was a few seconds of silence on the phone before a gentle, warm voice sounded in Qin Huai's ear: "Xiao Huai, did you suffer any injustice outside?"

Upon hearing this sound, Qin Huai's eyes widened, and he quickly held the phone screen up to his face.

Seeing the words "Aunt Lan" clearly displayed above, I thought to myself, "Holy crap!" and quickly said, "Aunt Lan, why aren't you playing 'Kuso' with Dad at this hour... oops, why aren't you resting?"

"Do you feel that Aunt Lan is bothering you?"

The voice was still gentle, but it made Qin Huai break out in a cold sweat.

From childhood to adulthood, he was lawless and fearless, not even of Qin Mushan.

It wasn't until Qin Mushan married Aunt Lan that Qin Huai first learned what it meant to have one thing subdue another.

It wasn't that Aunt Lan treated Qin Huai badly; on the contrary, Aunt Lan perfectly made up for the maternal love that Qin Huai lacked, and because of this, Qin Huai respected and loved her from the bottom of his heart.

Aunt Lan was also an extremely capable person. Internally, she kept Qin Mushan and his son Qin Huai completely under her thumb, and externally, she managed the Qin family's vast business in an orderly manner.

The Qin family was originally at the bottom of the list of wealthy families in the capital. To put it bluntly, their rise to the top was all thanks to Aunt Lan.

"No, no, Aunt Lan, what are you saying? I'm so happy you called me!" Qin Huai said with a fawning expression.

Aunt Lan said softly, "I heard you got into a fight with someone over a girl named Lu Qingxue. I really like that girl. You two should get along well. If she gets snatched away by someone else, see how I deal with you."

"Ah ha! Aunt Lan, you have such good taste! Don't worry, we have a very good relationship! She just said she wanted to be my fiancée, she's definitely not going to leave!"

"That's good. I'll wait for your good news."

Aunt Lan hung up the phone.

The moment the call ended, Qin Huai sprang to his feet and sprinted towards the villa as if being chased by a dog: "Lu Qingxue! I regret it! Let's get engaged first, and get married when the time is right!"
