After a blind date, a wealthy heir asked me to marry him.

Fu Cheng turned to look at his wife. He hadn't expected her to bring this up so suddenly. He asked, "Why?"

He knew very well why he had rushed into marriage: it was because of his grandfather's coercion and threats. But he really didn't know why Lu Shiyi would choose to rush into marriage with him when they were still strangers.

Looking at the hazy moonlight outside the window, Lu Shiyi smiled self-deprecatingly, "You probably don't know, but I went on eight blind dates in seven days back then, which is more than 90% of single people go on blind dates."

Upon hearing this, Fu Cheng couldn't help but recall the darkest moment when the two first met, when they were suddenly confronted by the fruit juice-laden yellow flower.

He turned back and said leisurely, "Hmm, I've seen one of them before."

Lu Shiyi was still looking out the window. "The one you met was one of the more normal oddballs, which is why I decided to have a whirlwind marriage and avoid blind dates. That was the most direct reason."

Then, before Fu Cheng could speak, she continued, "But that's not the main reason. The main reason is that I want to have a home in this city where I've been wandering for seven years, so that my parents can feel at ease."

"Countless times on nights like this, I've gazed at the myriad lights of the city's skyscrapers, imagining my own home..."

Perhaps it was the effect of a little alcohol, but Lu Shiyi spoke frankly about her true thoughts, even though the person opposite her was Fu Cheng, who was aloof and rarely smiled.

She continued, "I know that since we got married, you've been wary of me and think I'm a scheming woman. To be honest, I did have ulterior motives for marrying you in a whirlwind. I wanted you to have a house, to have a home in this city, and for my parents to stop worrying about me after we got married."

"So it's normal for you to be wary of me, after all, we don't know each other well. If you weren't wary of anything, I would think you were just after my body."

Fu Cheng: "???..."

He felt that the words were changing as he listened. Should she listen to what she was saying and find out who was after whom?

However, he didn't refute her, but continued to listen. Besides, what she said wasn't wrong. He had indeed been wary of her and testing her since they got married.

Lu Shiyi seemed a little thirsty, so he picked up his cup, took a sip, and then continued:

"So actually I should thank you. Thank you for giving me a home in this city. Although we signed an agreement, it doesn't really matter. If two people can't develop feelings for each other, there's really no need for them to stay together."

After she finished speaking, her clear eyes looked straight at Fu Cheng, who felt a little scared. He wasn't sure what she would do next.

Therefore, I unconsciously moved my body to the side, trying to keep a safe distance from her.

Lu Shiyi's gaze lingered on her husband's cold and handsome face for a moment before she continued to speak, while Fu Cheng, who had been on edge, also breathed a sigh of relief.

All I heard her say was, "Actually, you're really good-looking. You're the kind of good-looking that makes people want to kiss and pinch you when they see you."

Fu Cheng: "..."

He knew the alcohol content of the liquor he had prepared; it was impossible for him to get drunk.

So he said, "I know you're not drunk, don't talk nonsense."

Lu Shiyi responded: "Of course I'm not drunk, in fact, I'm perfectly sober. I've been holding these words in for a long time, and I'm just using this little bit of alcohol to give me the courage to say them all at once."

Fu Cheng nodded reluctantly in agreement.

To be honest, he's starting to regret it. Wouldn't it have been better if he'd just given her a drink?

Little did we know that her tipsy state and her drunken state each had their own unique charm.

Seeing her husband nod, Lu Shiyi prepared to continue speaking, but after getting into the mood, she forgot what to say. She asked, "Where was I?"

Fu Cheng glared at her with his dark eyes. He couldn't very well remind her, "You said you were praising my looks," could he?

So, he could only stare straight at her with his dark eyes.

When Lu Shiyi saw her husband glaring at her, she suddenly realized, "Oh, I remember now, I just said you're good-looking."

Then he continued in a serious tone, "Actually, you are really good-looking. If you weren't so aloof and intimidating, why would you need Grandpa Fu to help you find a wife?"

Fu Cheng retorted, "It wasn't me who asked Grandpa to find it; it was Grandpa who forced me to find it."

To be honest, if Grandpa Fu hadn't forced him to get a marriage certificate with Lu Shiyi, he wouldn't have considered marriage at all in the past few years.

As for his thoughts a few years from now, who can say for sure? Given his indifference towards relationships, he might never want to get married.

Hearing the rebuttal, Lu Shiyi waved his hand, "They mean roughly the same thing, and besides, that's not what I wanted to say."

"What I want to say is that you are beautiful, thoughtful, and considerate. If you weren't so cold, you would definitely have many suitors. So even if we do break up according to the agreement in the end, you don't need to worry. You will definitely meet someone better."

Lu Shiyi knew that she and Fu Cheng were now husband and wife, not lovers. Fu Cheng's kindness to her stemmed mostly from his responsibility as a husband, and she felt the same way. So, whether they could develop genuine romantic feelings for each other in five months, no one knew.

That's why I said those things.

But Fu Cheng didn't like hearing her say that, and he said in a somewhat cold tone, "For me, there is no better."

He didn't know if the two of them would separate, but he did know that if they did separate, he would definitely not marry anyone else.

Lu Shiyi didn't notice his tone. She looked at her husband and comforted him, "How could there not be something better? As long as we have eyes that are good at discovering beauty, there will definitely be something."

Fu Cheng stared straight at Lu Shiyi. At this moment, his eyes held not only inexplicable annoyance but also a bewildered Lu Shiyi.

He didn't want to continue the topic, so he looked at the few remaining skewers of grilled meat and said, "If you don't eat them soon, I'm going to eat them."

This trick worked perfectly. As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Shiyi’s gaze returned to the barbecue.

Thinking that her husband hadn't touched any barbecue all night, she picked up three skewers and handed them over, saying, "Here, let's each have half."

Fu Cheng frowned. He rarely ate barbecue and didn't like it. Even though he knew that there weren't any hygiene issues like he had worried about, he still didn't really want to eat it.

Besides, if he were really hungry, he would naturally eat those staple foods, not roast meat.

However, Lu Shiyi interpreted Fu Cheng's frown as something else entirely.

She looked at her husband suspiciously, and couldn't help but mutter to herself, "That roast meat was so delicious, but he didn't touch it all night. Could it be that the silver needle he used to test for poison was fake?"

To verify her guess, Lu Shiyi decisively picked up a skewer and held it to Fu Cheng's mouth, "Didn't you just say you wanted to eat? Here, open your mouth, I'll feed you!"

Fu Cheng: "..."
