âMr. Lu, Iâm not sure we have the same understanding about marriage.â
Jenny takes care of her clothes and sits on the sofa, and Luke sits opposite her by the tea table.
âThe same understanding?â Luke looks up at her, âWho else is better to be your husband than me?â
âAh?â Jennyâs jaw drops and her mind goes blank.
Whatâs his logic?
âItâs not about better or not, listen, we knew each other just a month ago.â
âHow long would be better?â
âItâs nothing about time.â
âOh?â Luke looks at her with mysteriousness.
Jenny looks shocked and wishes to clap herself, recalling her illogical words.
It gets silent in the living room and Luke doesnât mean to start a conversation. And Jenny canât recover from his jokey answer. She thinks hard, lowering her head, before saying this a while later, âWhy on earth would you marry me?â
âWeâre a good match.â
Luke adjusts the way he sits and slows down his speech, as if he was determined to win this negotiation.
Jenny finds the conversation canât go any further.
âForget it. We canât even talk, can we?â Jenny stands up and puts an end to the conversation, âMr. Lu, please leave. I donât think it necessary to continue.â
Sheâs certain that she wonât get married with the man who she knew two weeks ago. Sheâs not the impulsive type of person.
Sensing the somewhat impatient look on Jennyâs face, Luke stands up, âYou should give it a thought.â
âWhy?â Jenny canât help laughing.
âIâm a perfect match for you in terms of my look and my family background. Whatâs more, I can guarantee you a promising future in the entertainment circle.â
Jenny didnât give a thought about his proposal but his guarantee makes her a little interested.
Sheâs well aware of the hidden rules in the entertainment circle. Sheâs just too new to meet many of those. All she wants to do is focus on acting, but she is forced to attend various activities as the company arranges and play second banana with senior actors, and she is constantly blamed for newsjacking.
But if she got married with Luke, would it be different from the hidden rule?
Jenny frowns, scared by the idea.
What is she thinking about? Getting married?
Is she insane?
âMr. Lu... I donât think itâs a good idea. Iâll work on my own.â
She clenches her fingers, looking thinner in the big black and white shirts.
Luke throws these words to her, âYouâll have time to think about it.â
He doesnât give the exact time, but Jenny finds it embarrassed to ask since she rejected him. But his words put the whole thing to an endless loop.
So she grits her teeth and continues to reject him, raising her head, âI donât think it necessary, Mr. Lu.â
He raises his arm to check the time, and says in a bland but firm tone, âItâs time for the meeting. Iâll take you out for dinner. Tell me your decision at night. Youâll have enough time to think about it before that.â
Jenny feels quite embarrassed.
How could several hours be enough to think about such a serious question?
âCan I say no?â Jenny swallows.
âSure, I never force people.â Luke knits his eyebrows, âIâll keep this necklace for now.â
Jenny subconsciously feels her neck and recalls she put the necklace on the tea table because itâs broken. But he...
âYou...â
âIâll keep it for you. Itâs up to you whether youâll join me for dinner.â
Jessica stamps on her feet angrily, âMr. Lu, itâs a bully.â
She doesnât want to interact with him too much for she is troubled by scandals because of him.
âTaking a necklace from you is not a bully.â
He puts it in his pocket and looks up at Jenny with a cold, serious look in his eyes.
âI want my wife to be obeying. You have my grandma like you and you need a person to help you with your career. It only comes with advantages for both of us to get married. Other concerns are meaningless. Think on the bright side.â
After Luke leaves, Jenny slowly feels the edge of the sofa and sits down.
Other concerns are meaningless, so should she think about it that they get married?
When she is deep in thought, the doorbell suddenly rings. Luke might have forgotten something, so Jenny gets up to open the door and finds the driver standing there.
âDid Mr. Lu forget anything?â Jenny asks hesitantly.
He carries several bags in his hands, with sweats on his forehead, âMiss, before you got upstairs, Mr. Lu ordered me to buy some food from Chenghu Restaurant. I had the food packed up. Please eat hot.â
Jenny is surprised.
âMiss, may I come in? Mr. Lu is waiting for me in the car.â
âOh, sorry. Come on in.â Jenny suddenly comes back to herself and makes room for him. The driver puts the food on the table and casts a glance at Jenny with mysteriousness, âMiss, Mr. Lu has never treated a woman like this, except you.â
His words overwhelm Jenny and she criticizes to herself, âHe must have never asked a woman to grab the household register and ID card to get married before a meeting.â
âGood men should have backbones, but eating the food doesnât reduce my integrity, does it?â

But she wouldnât love to have dinner with him if she didnât get the necklace from her mother.
When she is eating, there is an income call from Monica.
Jenny is happy to see her call and slides to answer.
The phone is on a pink rack. The screen shakes and a sweet round face shows. She yells in an excited tone, âBabe, you have time to answer my video call. Actors are supposed to be busy with work, arenât they?â
Jenny helplessly shakes her chopsticks, âBut they also need food to survive. Plus, Iâm a new hand in this circle. I donât have much work.â
âRight, just take time to enjoy before you get super popular. By then, weâll have no time to meet. But if you really wouldnât meet me, I would expose your embarrassing history, haha!â
