Qian Tao believed that she was a clever person but in front of Li Hengzhi, she was just an idiot.

She thought she had tricked Li Hengzhi but in the end, she, herself, was tricked. Li Hengzhi was the real dominator.

Qian Tao understood what this was all about after thinking for a while. 

“Mr. Li, may I ask you something?”

“Go ahead.”

“Will you really sue me until the end? A charge for a defraud of fifty million dollars… should be sufficient for me to be imprisoned for a long time?” 

She did not swindle but since he had made this arrangement, she couldn’t run away from a single charge.

There was no hatred between them. Her behavior might have provoked him but she was just a little girl who was unable to threaten him. He wouldn’t have spent so much money and effort to deal with her. Thus, she guessed that this was not his purpose.

“The charge is sufficient,” he explained.

To Qian Tao, his words meant ‘if you chose option one, I’ll naturally have a way to have you imprisoned for a long time and never get out.’

He sounded nice by giving her options but actually…

Did she have a choice?

Yan Hai was waiting outside. The time that Qian Tao spent in the room was not long. She came out after a while and stopped in front of him. She stared at him furiously. “Birds of a feather flock together!” 

Yan Hai felt awkward.

“Hey, Miss Qian, where are you going? Dinner is about to be served.”

Qian Tao left without even turning around.

Yan Hai went into the room and asked curiously, “Mr. Li, why did Miss Qian leave so abruptly?”

Eh?

If he was not mistaken, after Miss Qian left, Mr. Li looked as if he was in quite a good mood.

Li Hengzhi slowly enjoyed his red wine and passed one of the documents to him.

These two documents were taken by him from the office but he had not looked at them. When he flipped through, he was stunned/ “Mr. Li, this…”

“It’s an invitation,” Li Hengzhi declared unhurriedly, “I’m getting married.”

That obviously was not an invitation. He was just cracking a joke.

“…” Wait a minute, his brain couldn’t follow this any longer.

Mr. Li was going to marry Miss Qian Tao who had just tricked him?

This cause and effect relationship was not right!

***

Afraid that Gu Tong would be worried, Qian Tao called her immediately after leaving the club.

Gu Tong, as if struck by the thunder, wondered, “Has his brain malfunctioned?”

“It certainly has.”

‘What’s wrong with him? I tricked him and now I have to marry him?’

“So, have you agreed?”

“Can I not agree? It’s either marriage or jail. Fifty million dollars! If it’s serious, I could get a life sentence. Every single charge could get me in prison for life! Am I crazy?”

Surely, she didn’t want to spend the rest of her life in jail.

Comparing the two options, any idiot would know how to choose option two! A marriage without love would definitely not last. When he’s bored, within one year I would get a divorce and return single. It would definitely be better than going to prison.

“My goodness… I was ready with my weapon and now you tell me you are going to get married!” Gu Tong said uncomfortably, “so now you have to go home and inform your family?”

“No, it may only be a joke to scare me. How could a person joke about his own marriage? To get married after a one night stand, isn’t he treating this too lightly?”

“…” Gu Tong was sweating. “You slept with him before marriage, isn’t that being loose? Don’t you feel shameful ridiculing him?” 

“…that is not the main point.”

“Oh right, Tao, have you taken your medicine?”

“You are the one who should be taking medicine! I’m not sick, what medicine should I take?”

“…No! My lady Tao, I meant birth control pills! Have you taken birth control measures?”
