Chapter 4

“You are agreeing to the deal? ”

“To be honest, I need a wife.” Lu Chu Yao confessed.

Ning Sheng’s face was pale, “My household register is with my family. They want me to marry that dying old man so that they can get the money for my brother’s marriage.”

As the eldest in the family, she had been obedient since she was young.

She had been studying hard for her parents and for her younger brother, but she had never been valued. She was an invisible person in the family. Her parents had raised her so that they could sell her for money.

It didn’t matter who she was sold to, as long as they get the money.

Lu Chu Yao saw her expression and said, “Actually, my mom left me 20 thousand dollars to get married. If you agree to marry me, I’ll go and get the money.”

“Eh?”

“It is not possible for a gigolo like me to work in the industry for the rest of my life,” Lu Chu Yao sighed.

“Actually, I’m also just an intern teacher,” Ning Sheng replied while looking at the handsome face of the man in front of her. She could not help but think he was really fortunate.?At least his mother was considerate enough to leave him money.

“I think we’re quite a good match.” Lu Chu Yao nodded to himself.

Ning Sheng took the 250 dollars in cash that she had to book a double room. The man next to her followed her with an ice block in his hand.

When they reached the room, he handed her the ice block and said, “Place it on your face. You will need some medicine on your ankle too.”

She was dumbfounded when she received the block of ice. It was quite strange to have someone care about her suddenly. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“That group of people just now…”

“Didn’t I tell you? It has nothing to do with us. Maybe it is just the gang collecting money. It could also be robbers who wanted you as a hostage. Who would have thought you would start kicking them.”?Lu Chu Yao managed to come up with random stories as he applied the medicine to Ning Sheng’s wound.

Ning Sheng’s ankle was a little sensitive, so she subconsciously pulled it back, but was instantly pulled towards Lu Chu Yao again.

“What’s your name?” She asked.

“Lu Chu Yao.”

“This name… It sounds a little familiar,” Ning Sheng felt like she had heard this name somewhere before, but she couldn’t remember where. Suddenly, something cross her mind, ” Isn’t Lu Chu Yao the one that recently topped the list of the world’s richest people?”

Lu Chu Yao raised his eyebrows slightly. Perhaps this girl was not as clueless as he thought she was.

“Yes.” Lu Chu Yao replied.

“There are so many people with the same name.” Ning Sheng said.

Lu Chu Yao chimed in, “Same name. Yet, he’s the wealthiest man in the world and I’m a nobody with no car, house, or money.”

Why did these words sound a little sad?

Ning Sheng patted him on the shoulder and consoled him, “Don’t worry, you have a pretty face.”

“Is that supposed to be considered consolation?”

“Well, at least you are wearing a Versace high-end suit.” Ning Sheng said.

The coat that she had thrown on the bed when she came in was the latest Versace piece from their autumn and winter collection. She had read fashion magazines before and had a little understanding of them.

Lu Chu Yao turned around and looked at the clothes and said, “I don’t know any famous brands. I think this coat was given to me by a rich client. I just picked it out and put it on.”

“I couldn’t tell, but I guess you are doing quite a good job at your work. ”

“Don’t mention it. I’m preparing to find a proper job again and forsake the dark for the light. I’ll go home and get my household register and come and find you to get married tomorrow.” Lu Chu Yao stated as he finished up with the medicine and stood up.

He casually picked up the coat that was thrown aside and was about to leave when Ning Sheng stopped him, “Can I trust you?”

“You’re a teacher and you don’t despise me. I can’t ask for more than to marry you.”
