'That's right, I'm lying to you! You'd better know your place and leave! Don't be an eyesore! '
But of course, Tong Qiao only dared to say those words in her head as she grinned cheekily. "How could I? Please come in."
The two of them walked toward the entrance of the villa. Before entering, Lu Jinshen suddenly stopped in his tracks and took out a piece of paper from his pocket, opening it for Tong Qiao to see. "Do you still remember this agreement?"
Tong Qiao's head hurt when she saw the words on the paper. This was the agreement they had made at the resort previously. If Lu Jinshen were to lose, he would cancel the engagement. If Tong Qiao were to lose, she would have to get married to him.
To think that this man would carry this agreement around with him everywhere he went!
Tong Qiao was so angry that she gritted her teeth. It was clear that this man had set a trap for her back then. How could she possibly win against a military chief who had been through hundreds of battles?
It was all her fault for being young and frivolous. That was why she had fallen for this old man's trap.
"You don't remember?" Lu Jinshen asked again when he saw Tong Qiao frowning silently.
Tong Qiao wanted to bluff her way out of this as she scratched the back of her head. "My memory isn't too good. I think I've forgotten."
"Forgotten?"
"Hur hur, please be understanding, Chief Lu. My brain isn't as good as yours."
Lu Jinshen folded the agreement slowly. "It's fine if you've forgotten. Your autograph is on it."
Tong Qiao: "…"
"Or perhaps, I can fight with you again to help you regain your memories." Lu Jinshen then looked at Tong Qiao. "Do you need it?"
Tong Qiao waved it off hurriedly. "No need! Now that you've reminded me, I seem to have remembered something."
What a joke! How could she fall at the same place twice?
Not only was she no match for him, she was also more than four months pregnant. She could not fight with him easily.
"Seems like?" Lu Jinshen raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously not satisfied with her answer.
Tong Qiao smiled and said, "It doesn't seem like it. It's true. It's true."
"Okay." Lu Jinshen nodded seriously, then turned around and rang the doorbell.
Tong Qiao gnashed her teeth at Lu Jinshen's tall and straight back. Who's afraid of an old man threatening me?
You have an agreement, but I still have a child, hmph!
I don't believe that you would raise another man's child.
When Lu Jinshen entered the house, Tong Wenbin warmly welcomed him. Xia Daiyun personally brewed tea, and Tong Qiao sat obediently beside her.
For some reason, they were talking about marriage. Lu Jinshen said to Tong Wenbin, "Qiao 'er and I plan to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get married on the first of next month."
Even though Tong Wenbin was smiling, his tone was somewhat hesitant. "You youngsters make your own decisions. As long as Qiao 'er agrees, we have no objections."
Xia Daiyun at the side nodded in agreement as well. "That's right. Life will be between the two of you in the future. The most important thing is that you guys get along well. What do you think, Chief?"
Lu Jinshen nodded his head and looked at Tong Qiao. "Do you agree?"
Tong Qiao, "…" Why was this old man bringing up old scores before entering the house? First, it was the agreement. Then, it was to help her regain her memories. So, this was what he was waiting for.
Good on you, Lu Jinshen! You're so bad! You're always trying to trick me!
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Lu Jinshen fondled Tong Qiao's lowered head with a doting look. "You're not willing?"
Tong Qiao raised her head and smiled. "I'm willing! Why wouldn't I be willing? As long as Chief Lu doesn't despise me in the future."
"I won't despise you," Lu Jinshen's hand caressed Tong Qiao's head once more before moving away.
Xia Daiyun's face was filled with disbelief. Why had this person's attitude changed completely? "Qiao 'er, you're really willing to marry Chief?"
Tong Qiao nodded her head. "I'm willing." If she were to tell him about her pregnancy later on, the one who would be unwilling would be Lu Jinshen. Tong Qiao was suddenly filled with anticipation. How would Lu Jinshen react after finding out that she had made him a cuckold? How could he say that his anger would affect his heart?
Just the thought of it had Tong Qiao beaming with joy. Bloody hell! She had always been tricked by him. This time around, she was going to do the same to him.
Xia Daiyun's face was filled with worry. "Qiao 'er, do you have any difficulties that you can't speak of? Or is there someone else … "
Tong Wenbin was afraid that Xia Daiyun would say something that would embarrass Lu Jinshen, so he hurriedly interrupted her. "Dai Yun, look at how happy Qiao 'er is. Don't worry about her."
Xia Daiyun still wanted to say something, but when she saw that Tong Qiao was indeed lowering her head and secretly laughing, she did not say anything else.
Lu Jinshen did not sit for long before leaving. Fu Zhilei's matter was still waiting for him to go back and deal with it.
…
In the Chief's office.
Ji Ji entered the room and saw Lu Jinshen in a daze for the first time. He was extremely curious. What could make their boss, who regarded work as his life, so distracted? Could it be that the recent rumors were true? Did their boss really have feelings for Secretary Tong's daughter?
Lu Jinshen was very strict at work and did not tolerate the slightest bit of neglect. However, in private, they were very close comrades and could occasionally joke together.
Ji Ji mustered up his courage and asked, "Boss, are you thinking about Sister-in-law?"
Lu Jinshen came back to his senses and coldly glanced at Ji Ji.
Ji Ji immediately restrained the teasing look in his eyes and put the documents in his hands on the desk with a serious expression. "Boss, these are all documents waiting for your approval."
"Okay."
When Ji Ji turned to walk out, Lu Jinshen called out to him.
Ji Ji turned back again. "Boss, is there anything else?"
Lu Jinshen glanced at the calendar on the desk. When he looked at Ji Ji, there was a trace of confusion in his eyes. "What should I give her as a birthday present?"
Although it was a brainless sentence, Ji Ji immediately understood. "Boss, is it Sister-in-law's birthday today?"
Lu Jinshen's expression was slightly unnatural as he replied, "Yes."
Ji Ji immediately became excited and said with an expression as if he knew what women liked, "That's easy. First, give her a big bouquet of roses, then invite Sister-in-law to dinner. Lastly, give her a diamond ring as a confession. Sister-in-law will be very touched and marry you. Perfect!"
Lu Jinshen slowly frowned. He had a feeling that Tong Qiao would not like this method, but he had no experience in this area and could not think of a better way at the moment. He was about to nod when Baishao's voice came from the door.
"Boss, don't listen to Monkey. His method is too tacky."
Ji Ji frowned. "How is it tacky? Don't women like flowers and diamond rings? "
"Have you pursued a woman before?" Baishao raised her eyebrows and looked at Ji Ji.
Ji Ji hurriedly waved his hands and a trace of blush flashed across his face. "No, no."
"Then that's it. You've never pursued a woman before. How do you know that women like these things?"
Ji Ji touched the back of his head. "It's like that on TV."
Baishao ignored Ji Ji and looked at Lu Jinshen. "Boss, giving a gift is not about what it is, but the intention. For example, if she has a cold and you give her a box of cold medicine and a glass of water at this time, she will be more touched than flowers and diamonds. It's not about the value of the gift, but the gift is just what she needs."
