"???"

Qin Yi suddenly had a question mark and looked at Lu Xiao with a puzzled face: "Who asked you to get married? You must be sick."

"Is not it?"

Lu Xiao smiled and said in a calm tone: "If you are not one of the four wealthy families, then your family will definitely not let you marry outside. The only way is to find a son-in-law to ensure that the power of the family will not be lost."

"..."

Qin Yi choked and couldn't answer immediately.

She knew that what Lu Xiao said was indeed the truth.

As the leader of the Qin family, I naturally need to think about the family, and the biggest problem for a woman in charge of the family is marriage.

If you get married.

There is no doubt that the family's rights will be divided by others, which is something that no wealthy family would allow.

otherwise.

She had no choice but to give up the power in her hands.

However, she and her younger brother are the only direct descendants of the Qin family. The younger brother, Qin Zu, is idle all day long and has no way to take charge of the family.

If you give up your authority.

The power of the direct line will inevitably be divided up by other collateral lines of the family.

In ancient times, there were constraints and helplessness of being in the imperial family, and the same is true for today's wealthy families in the capital.

"Actually, this kind of thing can be discussed."

Qin Yi's voice became a little softer unconsciously.

Lu Xiao smiled, his voice as gentle as ever: "Before helping, can I ask a question first?"

"what is the problem?"

"Are you looking for a boyfriend to deal with your family, or are you... greedy for my body?"

Qin Yi almost staggered when she heard this.

"Lu Xiao! Are you sick?"

"I'm craving for your body? I'm craving for your body? Do I need to be craving for your body?"

Qin Yi repeated it three times, her tone full of disbelief: "What kind of man can I, Qin Yi, not find? Why do I need to covet your body?"

"Lu, why didn't I realize you were so shameless before?"

Lu Xiao looked at Miss Qin who suddenly became furious and coughed in embarrassment: "Ahem, you drank too much, just pretend I didn't say anything."

"..."

The scene once again fell into embarrassment.

After Qin Yi's "explosion", she slowly calmed down and didn't know what to say for a while.

Lu Xiao was also a little silent.

In the box.

The two fell into a strange atmosphere.

One minute later.

Qin Yi seemed to have lost her patience. She stood up from the chair and said impatiently: "Just deal with the elders of the family. I have work in the afternoon. I'll tell you whether I can help."

"..."

"Forget it if I don't help."

Qin Yi glanced at Lu Xiao who didn't answer, stood up with a cold face and walked towards the door.

Just when I passed behind Lu Xiao's chair.

Take a break for your body.

His arm was suddenly pulled.

"help."

Just one word.

Qin Yi paused.

Lu Xiao reached out and grabbed Qin Yi's wrist, took a deep breath, and smiled bitterly: "When will you meet the parents?"

"??"

"Don't you have to deal with elders?"

"Don't worry, let's get used to it first, so as not to expose the secret later." Qin Yi's originally cold expression became a little unbearable for a moment.

"OK."

Lu Xiao nodded slightly, but his face still looked as calm as ever.

"Let's go."

"good."

The two left the restaurant together.

Walking side by side, the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Qin Yi glanced at her wrist and saw that Lu Xiao had not let go of it just now: "Um... why don't you let go?"

"I didn't use any force."

"I know, but it's not good to lead her out."

Lu Xiao glanced at Qin Yi, who was blushing, and said in a serious tone: "Although I have never been in love, I still know that couples hold hands."

"Holding hands doesn't mean holding wrists."

"Then do you do it yourself?"

Lu Xiao let go of his hand and opened his palm.

Qin Yi glanced at it, then glanced elsewhere, hesitating for a moment before slowly putting it up.

Fingers intertwined.

The heartbeats of both of them were a little fast.

Lu Xiao's face, which had always been calm, rarely showed a trace of fluctuation: "I have never been in love, the specific process..."

"Haven't you ever filmed a drama? There are no love-type idol dramas?"

"I've filmed it before, but it was all Mary Sue scripts."

"What should we do?"

There was a blush on Qin Yi's cheeks, and she looked elsewhere as much as possible: "Neither can I."

"Step by step?"

"OK."

The two held hands and walked out of the restaurant together.

——

the other side.

West Street.

Shabu-shabu mutton restaurant.

This is a food street in Beijing, full of authentic Beijing snacks.

Jin Lanting sat on his seat and handed a prepared dipping saucer to Xiao Chuchu opposite: "The most authentic dipping sauce in the capital, how about trying it?"

"Thanks."

Xiao Chuchu thanked her politely, her tone cold and distant.

She originally planned to go shopping with Jiang Li today, but she met Jin Lanting who was blocking the door of the hotel early in the morning.

hesitated for a moment.

Xiao Chuchu decided to meet up with him, as a final farewell to his college youth.

She has actually thought it through.

She and Jin Lanting are destined to be impossible, even if there was a scene yesterday where Uncle Jin apologized to her when he was drunk.

Some things cannot be undone after they happen.

Just like Jin Lanting's ex-girlfriends who could name hundreds of families, it was also something that was difficult for her to accept.
