He tugged the corner of his mouth and smiled faintly. “Depends on my mood.”

“So, how’s your mood now?” Qian Tao asked, looking like an accomplice.

She had no choice. If the school knew about it, they would definitely call the parents and if that happened, their secret would be exposed! If everyone knew about it, it would not be good for the Qian family. She would never tarnish the reputation of the Qian family.

Hence…

All she could do was to convince Li Hengzhi.

“Hmm…still alright.”

He exclaimed while looking at her. His unusual smile caused Qian Tao to misunderstand.

Was he thinking about…last night?

Qian Tao lowered her head and drank her milk silently.

Please…please, please, don’t mention anything about last night.

“Qian Tao.”

“Yes!” She put down her cup immediately and gazed at him. “Mr. Li, at your service.”

“It has been clearly stated in the contract, but I’d like to repeat it to you.”

“Yes,” she replied, although she didn’t know what he wanted to tell her.

“The most important thing is not to bother about my family matters. I’ll give you whatever you want. As long as I can afford, I can satisfy you. You are smart, you don’t need me to explain it clause by clause, do you?”

Qian Tao nodded and smiled, “I understand and I will adhere.”

Of course, she wouldn’t ask for his whole fortune. It was such a stupid request that she knew would definitely not happen.

Qian Tao knew that she would not rely on Li Hengzhi. Except for that day when she had no choice, she would not ask for anything from him in the future.

“Alright, take half a day leave from school on Monday. We will register our marriage.”

“So fast?” Qian Tao stared in disbelief.

Wasn’t Monday tomorrow? She was not prepared.

Half a month ago, Qian Tao had never expected that she would have to get married…

Being an eighteen-year-old girl, she had fantasized being married to her Mr. Right and leading a long-lasting marriage life together.

Li Hengzhi might be good enough, but she didn’t want to marry him because she didn’t love him. She had never imagined marrying a man whom she didn’t love.

Qian Tao was in a dilemma and she was fidgeting with her hands under the table. She didn’t know how to rebut and so, she found an excuse. “We are having our exam on Monday afternoon. I can’t take leave.”

However, who was Li Hengzhi? Could this excuse trick him?

He could easily see through her. “Do you think you can escape if you were to drag it a day or two? You know very well that even if you were able to escape, your family is still here. Do you dare? It’s not a threat, but I’d like to tell you that even if I give you a few more days, you’d still have to marry me eventually. There’s no use escaping.”

Qian Tao bit her lip.

How could she not know?

But marriage was a big thing and she was in a dilemma.

Qian Tao said silently, “I really have an exam. Is Tuesday alright?”

“Yes, let’s make it Tuesday afternoon, then. I’ll get Yan Hai to pick you up. That will be just nice, I have to go on a business trip on Wednesday and will only return after a month.”

Qian Tao’s eyes lit up. “Or we can wait until you return from your trip? Look, if we register on Tuesday and you have to leave on the second day of our marriage, isn’t it not too good? I won’t be able to escape, as your people are all over Sea City. You said it—even if I’m able to escape, my family is still here.”

“Ha, so you wish.” Li Hengzhi added, “The longer you drag, the worse it will be.”
