Lu Man walked to a public square and saw someone asking for donations there. She looked down at the cheque that she was holding tightly in her hand. She smiled bitterly and sarcastically. Then, she went forward and donated the cheque.
How nice would it be if the past could be thrown away just like that cheque?
One month later…
A couple was sitting and facing each other by the window seat. The man was tall and handsome. The woman was graceful and beautiful. It was a captivating sight.
The woman’s facial expression changed drastically after the man said something to her. Then, she picked up her bag and ran out in tears.
However, that man still remained seated. He drank his coffee gracefully. The sunlight of the afternoon shone on him through the window next to him. He appeared like a golden god. He seemed so prestigious that nobody dared to approach him. They could only admire him from afar.
It was time! Now or never!
Lu Man got up and went forward.
“Manman, do you really want to go there?” Hou Qingqing stopped her.
“Of course!” Lu Man tried her best to investigate where he was going for the blind date. It was the moment. It was not the time to retreat!
“But, the woman who was on the blind date with him just now was the mayor’s daughter!” The mayor’s daughter had been defeated too. What more she?
Hou Qingqing did not look down on her best friend. She knew that rich people always searched for partners who were well suited to them.
“She’s been defeated. But, it doesn’t mean that the same will happen to me. Moreover, I want to give it a go even if I’m not suited for him!” She would never know whether she would be able to do so if she did not give it a try. Moreover, it was her last straw. She must give it a try!
Hou Qingqing thought for a while and agreed with her. “Go ahead! Do your best!”
Hou Qingqing grasped her hand again when Lu Man wanted to approach that man.
“Manman, do you really have to do that?” She was nervous and scared.
“Do I have any other way?” Lu Man smiled, bitterly.
Hou Qingqing thought of how things had ended for Lu Man. It was the truth. “That bitch! She will totally be punished for what she has done!”
She had never met a woman who was so wicked. Not only did she rob Lu Man of her fiance but she did not even forgive her or let her go!
Lu Man had extraordinarily beautiful and slim legs. She wore a mini skirt today with a pair of seven-inch high heels. Her beautiful legs became much more captivating and slimmer because of that.
Lu Man walked toward the man in her high heels at a steady pace. The man was drinking his coffee when she walked toward him. He raised his eyes and looked at her. He scanned her from top to bottom without betraying any inner feelings. He remained calm.
She said nothing but sat across from him directly.
If she asked his permission before sitting down in front of him, the man might refuse her company. Then, she would be defeated right there and then.
The man put down the coffee cup and stared at her with his black eyes.
Lu Man was calm but she became nervous all of a sudden. She instinctively clasped her hands together tightly. Her palms soon became sweaty. She suppressed her nervousness and started to talk.
“Are you on a blind date?”
“Yes.”
“That means you need a wife.”
“Yes.”
“I’m lacking a husband too. Would you marry me?”
The man was calm up until that moment. He was stunned. After that, his lips curled slightly. “Fine.”
“Yes?”
Lu Man prepared herself mentally in case she was labeled as an insane person. She had even prepared a lot of ways to persuade him to marry her. Her brain was working ceaselessly when she asked him to marry her. She was planning on using one of her tactics to persuade him to gain the best result.
But, she was stunned when he agreed to marry her right away.
Soon, the entire world seemed to fall into a deep silence.
Her jaws dropped. She appeared silly. It delighted the man. His smile deepened. He raised his hand and took a look at his watch. It was still early.
“Let’s go.”
“Where to?” Lu Man replied, foolishly. His reaction gave her a great shock. She was still in a blur and she could not recover her senses.
“To the Civil Affairs Bureau.”
“Why?” Clearly, Lu Man was still in a blur.
“To register our marriage.”
Lu Man was stunned again.
Two hours later, Lu Man felt like she was dreaming when she saw the small red book in her hand. Technically, she was in a daze the second he agreed to marry her. She wanted to pinch her thigh to wake herself up!
She made sure that the names on the book belonged to her and Pei Xiuyuan. She had achieved her dream, which she always yearned for strongly. Now, she pinched her thigh hard. Soon, she gritted her teeth when all she felt was pain.
“What are you doing?” The man—Pei Xiuyuan looked at her skeptically. Why did she abuse herself all of a sudden?
“I want to make sure that it’s real,” Lu Man replied, honestly.
Pei Xiuyuan was stunned. Suddenly, he laughed aloud. That laughter was sweet just like thirst-quenching spring water. It was rather a comfortable feeling.
Lu Man’s lips twitched slightly. Although he was not mocking her, he was laughing at her silly reactions. How could she be happy about that?
She looked at Pei Xiuyuan. “Are you really the CEO of Pei Enterprise—Pei Xiuyuan?”
Did they coincidentally share the same name?
“Yes.”
Lu Man scanned him from the bottom to the top when she received his positive answer. Lastly, her gaze fell upon his head.
Pei Xiuyuan still remained calm even though he was being scanned like a specimen. “What are you looking at?”
“To see if there’s something wrong with your head. Is there any hole?” Otherwise, why on earth a CEO of an enterprise marry a stranger that easily?
Pei Xiuyuan lowered his head suddenly.
“What?”
“To let you take a look clearly. To see if there’s anything wrong with my head.”
Lu Man was speechless.
“Is there something wrong? Is there a hole?”
“Yes, there is.”
“Where?”
She pointed at his ears.
Pei Xiuyuan’s lips curled slightly. She was indeed funny. Would their married life become funnier in the future? Suddenly, his eyes darkened and his smile deepened. He seemed both handsome and bad like that.
It was sunset. His smile was captivating under the setting sun.
Lu Man understood now how a single smile could dazzle the entire city.
That man was well-bred and handsome. He came from a prestigious family too. She could affirm that there was nothing wrong with him from their conversation just now. It even puzzled her more.
“Why do you want to marry me?” Why did a person as prestigious as him want to marry her?
“I’m lacking a wife and you’re pleasing to the eyes.”
“Is that so? Did you marry me because of that? Isn’t that too random?” Why would somebody hold such an opinion toward marriage? Moreover, he was a rich person. Why was he not afraid of marrying the wrong person and that half of his fortune might be snatched away when they divorced each other in the future.
“It’s not a random choice. I’m serious about our marriage.” His deep voice was just like a fragrance that could penetrate people’s hearts easily. It was irresistible.
All of a sudden, Lu Man did not know how to respond to that.
“Why do you want to marry me?” He looked at her with his dark eyes. Nobody could decipher any feelings or emotions from his eyes.
“I need a husband, a strong and powerful husband. You’re just the right man,” Lu Man replied directly.
His eyes darkened slightly. Pei Xiuyuan had some mixed feelings. “Is it my luck that I’m marrying an honest woman?”
