"Yes," Lu Jinshen answered seriously. That night, she had not only seduced him, she had completely seduced him.
Tong Qiao really wanted to give the man in front of her a good scolding. He was too shameless. Did he think that all women would like him just because he was the chief? Did he think that she would be bewitched by him just because he was handsome? He was an old man in his thirties who was divorced and had a child. What was so good about him that she would seduce him?
Tong Qiao despised Lu Jinshen in her heart, but she still had a faint smile on her face. She had no choice. After all, he was her father's immediate superior. Moreover, she had promised her father that she would talk to him nicely. "Chief, what would you like to eat?"
Lu Jinshen frowned slightly. "Call me Lu Jinshen."
Tong Qiao nodded politely but did not take his words to heart. She flipped through the menu in her hand and asked, "Chief, what would you like?"
"… I'm fine with anything."
Tong Qiao nodded thoughtfully and called the waiter over to order.
Lu Jinshen listened to Tong Qiao name the dishes, and his brows slowly furrowed. However, he did not say anything and only looked at Tong Qiao's freckled face without blinking. As he looked at her, a smile spread from his eyes. How much did she hate this marriage? She actually dressed up like this to meet him.
Tong Qiao sensed that the man opposite her was looking at her, but she did not avoid his gaze. Instead, she raised her little face slightly to make it easier for him to size her up. She wanted to see how he could bear to look at such a face.
Tong Qiao felt that she had underestimated Lu Jinshen's tolerance. From the moment the dishes were ordered to the moment the dishes were served, he had been staring at her freckled face without looking away. His gaze was direct, magnanimous, and did not avoid her gaze at all.
On the other hand, she felt a little uncomfortable after being stared at for so long. His overly focused and quiet gaze made her feel as if she was naked in front of him. She had a feeling that he seemed to know that she was the one who had caused the freckles on her face.
Tong Qiao pointed at the dishes on the table and broke the silence. "Chief, the dishes are all here. Shall we eat?"
"Alright." Lu Jinshen retracted his gaze from Tong Qiao's face and looked at the dishes on the table. Almost every dish was spicy, and he couldn't help but frown slightly. Dishes with strong flavors could easily cause diarrhea. He often went out on missions and couldn't afford to make any mistakes, so he had developed the habit of eating light dishes.
"Does Chief dislike spicy food?" Tong Qiao asked even though she already knew the answer.
Lu Jinshen did not say anything.
Tong Qiao said regretfully, "I really like spicy food. It seems like we have different tastes. If we get married, I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to get along."
Lu Jinshen saw a flash of cunning in Tong Qiao's eyes. He said unhurriedly, "No matter what the taste is, you'll get used to it."
"…" Tong Qiao stared at Lu Jinshen, unwilling to give up. Before she came, she had specifically asked her father about Lu Jinshen's taste. She didn't believe that he could eat such strong flavors. She had ordered super spicy food.
Tong Qiao watched for a while and found that Lu Jinshen had no other reaction except for frowning slightly. Moreover, he was eating very calmly.
Tong Qiao couldn't help muttering in her heart, "This old man's taste is really strong. How can he eat such spicy food when I look at him like this?"
"Why aren't you eating? Don't you like spicy food? "Lu Jinshen put down his chopsticks and looked at Tong Qiao.
Tong Qiao felt that it was meaningless to beat around the bush like this. It was really not her style. She thought that Lu Jinshen would understand what she meant by saying it in a roundabout way. It seemed that she had overestimated this old man's IQ.
Tong Qiao sat up straight and said with a serious face, "Chief, I'm not good enough for you. Let's cancel our engagement."
Lu Jinshen calmly picked up the glass of water in front of him and downed it in one gulp. The spiciness in his mouth eased a little. "No, a soldier's word is worth its weight in gold. Words spoken are like spilled water. They can't be taken back."
Tong Qiao said very kindly, "You and my father only have a verbal engagement. It's not written in black and white. You don't have to take it seriously. I won't force you to marry me."
"I don't feel forced."
"But …" Tong Qiao said and pointed at her face, "Won't you feel ashamed to take me out with this face? You're the chief. Your soldiers will laugh at you. "
"They won't dare."
"…"
"Even if the woman standing beside me looks like a pig, they won't dare to say anything." When Lu Jinshen said this, a fleeting smile flashed across his eyes. Tong Qiao could only see his serious face. She was furious, but she did not dare to show it. He actually compared her to a pig?!
Was there a pig as slim as her?
If not for the fact that she was afraid of offending him and making things difficult for her father behind her back, Tong Qiao really wanted to walk over and beat him up. She wanted to make him a real pig.
Hmph!
It seemed that beating around the bush was not going to work. She could only go straight to the point.
"Chief, I already have a boyfriend. I can't marry you." Tong Qiao looked valiantly at Lu Jinshen.
Lu Jinshen stared deeply at Tong Qiao.
Tong Qiao felt goosebumps all over under his stare. Her attitude immediately softened. "I met my boyfriend when I was studying in Fan City. My father didn't know about it, so he took the liberty to arrange a marriage with you. I'm really sorry. I apologize to you on behalf of my father. I hope you won't take your anger out on him because of this."
Lu Jinshen didn't know if it was because of the spiciness from earlier, but his mouth felt dry. He furrowed his brows and poured himself a glass of water. He downed it in one gulp and was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Let's break up."
Tong Qiao was overjoyed. "Thank you, Chief, for granting my wish."
Lu Jinshen felt that Tong Qiao's smile was especially dazzling. "I told you to break up with your boyfriend."
"Huh?" Tong Qiao's smile froze on her face.
Lu Jinshen looked at Tong Qiao sternly and said word by word, "I don't want my wife to fool around outside."
"I'm not your wife."
"You will be soon." Lu Jinshen then stood up and looked down at Tong Qiao. "If you don't want to get married now, I can wait for you."
The man was tall and had the faint aura of a military man. He was very oppressive, but Tong Qiao was not the kind of girl who was afraid of a strong man. "But I don't love …"
"Before you speak, think about whether you can take responsibility for your words." Lu Jinshen's eyes narrowed as he interrupted Tong Qiao in time.
Tong Qiao was slightly stunned. Was he threatening her? Was he saying that she would implicate her father?
Lu Jinshen could tell from Tong Qiao's eyes that she had misunderstood him, but he did not want to explain. He would let her think whatever she wanted, as long as she married him obediently.
Tong Qiao looked at Lu Jinshen's back view and gritted her teeth. "Old man, why are you so arrogant? So what if you're the Chief? I just don't like you. What can you do to me? "
Tong Qiao said as she touched her flat stomach. Her face softened instantly, and she whispered, "Baby, don't be afraid. Mommy will not be afraid of power. I won't marry that old man. The person I like is your father. I will definitely find him, and then our family will love each other."
