"I..." Ye Zhiqiu's eyes, large and innocent, were filled with an air of blamelessness. Just as she was about to speak, Lu Qichen interrupted her, "Gu Yanzhi, I married you only to make Grandpa happy. If you still think about climbing into my bed and securing the position of Mrs. Lu, then I advise you not to dream." He had chosen Gu Yanzhi after much deliberation. Firstly, because the rumors outside said that Gu Yanzhi was brainless, nothing more than a carefree rich young lady, and secondly, because Gu Qishan was greedy and would be satisfied with just a little sweetness, posing no threat to him. But as soon as he got home, Miss Gu had put on such a vivid scene for him. Who said she was brainless? Clearly, she knew very well how to use her own advantages. Ye Zhiqiu had been holding back her emotions, wanting to have a proper talk with Lu Qichen, but when she heard what he said, she was suddenly filled with rage and took the opportunity to vent her grievances. She sat up from the bed in one swift motion, straightened her back, and knelt on the edge of the bed, meeting Lu Qichen's gaze without fear. His eyes were dark and filled with disdain for her. Ye Zhiqiu grew even angrier. "With Miss Bai, such a stunning beauty, by your side, someone like me naturally doesn't catch your eye," Ye Zhiqiu sneered. "I also know my place and wouldn't dare to hope for anything from you, Mr. Lu. I just hope that you will have a change of heart and sign this."

Holding a towel to her chest with one hand to prevent it from falling, Ye Zhiqiu took out a document from the bag beside her with the other and handed it to Lu Qichen. "Mr. Lu, I'm just a small person. If you want me to marry you, I will, but I also ask you, Mr. Lu, since you're only marrying me to keep up appearances, please let me go when the time is right. I would be immensely grateful," Ye Zhiqiu said, her neck stiff and her expression not at all like she was acting. Lu Qichen was momentarily taken aback. The agreement was only two sentences long. 1. Party A, Lu Qichen, must help Gu's company through its difficulties as agreed. 2. Neither Party A nor Party B shall engage in any relationship for any reason. She had already signed her name in the position of Party B. Lu Qichen looked at her signature; her writing was as graceful as flowing clouds, her strokes like misty smoke. It truly suited her appearance, gentle yet with a hint of tenacity. "Mr. Lu, please sign," Ye Zhiqiu said, handing him the pen. He was slightly startled, but still stubbornly believed that she was playing tricks. Originally, he felt guilty towards this woman. He had come back to talk things through with 'Gu Yanfei.' He was destined to wrong her, and he would definitely find a way to make amends in the future, but what on earth did this current situation mean? "What kind of trick are you playing?" "President Gu!" Ye Zhiqiu frowned. Where did he get the confidence to think that she was definitely playing tricks? She didn't want to have anything to do with him at all, okay? "You've seen all kinds of people. You know best whether I'm playing tricks or not. Besides, signing this agreement doesn't harm you in any way, does it?"

Lu Qichen looked straight at Ye Zhiqiu in front of him. Her eyes were clear, showing not a trace of scheming. Therefore, he added a third clause to the agreement, 'If you can do this, then I will agree to your request.'

Ye Zhiqiu glanced over, and Lu Qichen had added a sentence to the agreement: Party B, Gu Yanfei, needs to play the role of a virtuous wife and good mother when Party A requires it. She hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she nodded, and only then did Lu Qichen sign his name. Seeing him sign, Ye Zhiqiu's heart finally settled, and she carefully took the agreement, thinking that she must find an opportunity to frame it later. She was so serious that she didn't even notice when her bath towel slipped off. Lu Qichen's eyes darkened, a vague emotion unreadable in his gaze. She had a pair of bright eyes, clear and pure as crystal, sparkling like stars, with long eyelashes gently fluttering. Her skin was fair and flawless, with a faint blush, and her lips were as tender and juicy as rose petals. So much so that Lu Qichen was slightly stunned when he saw her figure. Her figure... was astonishingly good! Such a delicate face, yet a devilish body, curvy in all the right places, with skin so tender it seemed to hold water. Lu Qichen couldn't help but admire. By the time she realized she was exposed, it was too late. The room suddenly became quiet, and she looked up to see the mockery in Lu Qichen's eyes, then followed his gaze to her own naked body, blushing as she pulled up the towel, her face flushed enough to seem squeezable. Surely he wouldn't think she did it on purpose? She cautiously glanced at Lu Qichen in front of her; his eyes were clear, as if nothing had just happened. She couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. She had always lacked confidence in her figure, always feeling she wasn't busty enough, her buttocks not perky enough, and seeing Lu Qichen's reaction, it was clear she didn't attract him. What she didn't know was how much effort Lu Qichen had to exert to barely control his facial expressions, to not lose face in front of this young girl. Of course, he saw the fleeting disappointment in Ye Zhiqiu's eyes. Having been with Bai Rongrong for two years, the number of times they spent the night together could be counted on one hand. Even when living together, Lu Qichen always maintained the demeanor of a gentleman. Bai Rongrong was the person who understood him the best in the world, the most empathetic. Before marrying her, he would never touch her. This was respect for her, and also respect for himself. Lu Qichen's gaze was fixed on Ye Zhiqiu in front of him, but his thoughts were somewhere else. She couldn't stand being stared at by Lu Qichen any longer, and with a flushed face, she spoke, 'President Lu, it's late, you should go rest.'

Adding the word 'go' changed the meaning entirely. Ye Zhiqiu made it clear that she was unwilling to live with Lu Qichen, which was why she spoke up to remind him. It was then that he came back to his senses, a trace of reluctance in his heart, but he still responded and turned to go back to his study. Even after all these years, even when falling asleep holding Bai Rongrong, he had never been so out of control. He couldn't help but let out a low roar and went to the bathroom to take a half-hour cold shower, which finally alleviated some of his distress. Ye Zhiqiu was awakened early the next morning by the alarm clock. Although she had 'married' into the Lu family and become the envied Mrs. Lu, Ye Zhiqiu knew in her heart that her position was only temporary and would eventually be returned to the rightful owner, Bai Rongrong. Due to Gu Yanfei's wedding, she had already taken three days off, and today she must go to work. When she finished getting ready and went to the dining room, Lu Qichen was also there. The wedding banquet yesterday was too busy, and the light was too dim in the evening, so she stood at the dining room door, and now she finally had the chance to quietly observe him. It must be said, the man she married is truly outstanding among men.
