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?”
