Perhaps it is because Bai Mu Ye's gloomy expression, Ah Zhao asks in surprise: “You don’t know why you are here?”
Bai Mu Ye doesn’t answer her .
She sneers inwardly: “I going to fire that manager of his!”
Though she is a very public figure, she chooses her “boyfriend” based on mutual consent and never forces anyone .
However, this time, Bai Mu Ye’s manager clearly takes a move only he thinks as clever .
Thinking of her image as a strong CEO, she sneers: “Stop that . I, Lu Yuanzhao, never force myself upon one anyone . If you are not willing to do it, leave . ”
Normally, by now, the male lead should have rushed out in a rage .
However, Bai Mu Ye hasn't .
Towering above, he says coldly: “If I leave, you’ll find another young handsome man as your lover, won't you?”
Ah Zhao: “ . . . ”
She wants to deny it but she doesn't have a good explanation so she goes still for a second which Bai Mu Ye takes as a “yes” .
That makes him angrier .
It also leaves him at a loss .
In the past, he only heard about Miss Lu . Today is the first time he meets her .
True, she is more beautiful in person .
So beautiful that if one is in the same room with her, one instinctively breathes more softly in fear that one is rude to a beauty .
However, this is it .
Before today, Bai Mu Ye didn’t know he was a person who would judge someone by appearances . Now he knows he is .
He has to admit he has an unusual feeling about this woman who he just met and he even envies her ex boyfriends .
“I’m not unwilling to do it . ” He hears his calm voice go up in this large space .
Ah Zhao pauses, then she hears him again . “But I have objections to several terms . ”
Then, she watches him pick up a pen and make a few circles on the contract then pass it to her .
Naturally, she takes the paper . The sentences that are crossed out read:
Term of this contract lasts 30 days, starting now .
The relationship should not involve any personal feelings .
Along with several other terms he has marked .
Ah Zhao: “ . . . ”
Without those terms, it isn’t a contract for keeping a lover!
“Miss Lu, I don't want to be kept as your lover . ” Bai Mu Ye's voice rises timely .
She wants to say “why bother if you don't want to” but doesn't since he hasn't finished his words:
“Have you ever tried a serious relationship with no strings attached?”
He looks at her calmly, but his heart starts to pound fiercely, expecting an answer .
He watches her brows rise in surprise .
“A serious relationship?”
She chuckles .
“I don’t believe in that . ”
Lu Yuanzhao didn’t for sure . She loved Bai Qing with all she had, only ended up being treated as a tool .
She looks so unconcerned that it stings Bai Mu Ye .
“Why not give it a try?”
Taking a step forward, he reaches her then crouches down and looks at her with his head slightly raised .
“I don’t need your resources . I’m a good-looking man . Why keep a lover who stays with you for your money, when you can have a boyfriend?”
