Yan Qing Chi did not hold back. When he heard the words, he didn’t refuse the offer. He opened the menu, selected a few dishes that he liked, and pressed the bell to call for the waiter.

The waiter took note of their order and silently made his leave.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Jiang Mo Chen looked at the person in front of him and considerately started the conversation, “Last night you said that you agreed with what I proposed before—to replace your sister and fulfill the marriage agreement that our families had previously made.”

“Yes.”

Jiang Mo Chen nodded slightly, “Do you have any conditions?”

“I do.” Yan Qing Chi leaned a little forward and said solemnly, “I hope that you can lend me 50 million before we get married. I will write you an IOU for this money. I’ll pay you back with interest after a year according to the bank’s interest rate.”

This was something that Jiang Mo Chen had not expected. He had thought of several conditions that Yan Qing Chi might put forward, except that the latter would want to borrow money. Not to mention that he would state this demand in the beginning of the conversation. This would be a little too materialistic. Nevertheless, he didn’t have a high opinion of Yan Qing Chi in the first place. Hence, he only commented on this internally and did not refuse. It was just 50 million. It was not worth holding it over him.

“I can do that,” he answered.

Yan Qing Chi wasn’t ruffled by his answer. He had some understanding of Jiang Mo Chen’s personality. He knew that the latter was very good at acting tenderly to cover his indifference. In the novel, the original owner did not agree to the marriage. Even then, Jiang Mo Chen was willing to let him act unreasonable. He paid for and obliged to the original owner’s demands. On the other hand, Yan Qing Chi agreed to marry him. It was just 50 million. The man wouldn’t make things difficult for him.

“Thank you,” he said sincerely.

“No need to thank me. After all, we will soon be a family.” Jiang Mo Chen said, and even smiled at him.

Yan Qing Chi studied that smile, and felt that those eyes of his that were looking at him were far less gentle and polite than his smile. He smiled in return, “Yeah. It’s really something that one looks forward to.”

“Do you have any specific criteria for when we get married? If not, then I will decide on the date.”

“That works. Approximately when will it be?”

“Pretty soon,” Jiang Mo Chen looked at him. “There are many dreams in the long night, we must avoid any changes in the schedule.”

“It seems like he’s truly impatient,” Yan Qing Chi thought. If he didn’t know the reason why Jiang Mo Chen wanted to get married, he probably would have thought that he had some other intentions. He nodded in agreement.

Seeing him agree, Jiang Mo Chen continued, “You’re also aware of my identity. Thus, even if we get married now, we can only get a certificate. We can’t make it public nor can we hold a wedding. You can rest assured, though. When the time is right, I will make it up to you for the wedding and disclose your identity. Will that be alright with you?”

Although this sentence was an interrogative sentence, he took on the lofty tone of someone used to being superior to others.

Yan Qing Chi leaned back in his chair and felt that it was a little unnecessary for him to ask. He had already decided everything himself, yet he still pretends to be polite and ask for his (YQC) input. They were all formalities anyway. It didn’t matter. Their marriage was purely a marriage wed just for the sake of it. It didn’t matter what day they got hitched or whether there was a wedding ceremony or not. What was important was how they interacted after they get married. Regardless of the lack of love that either party had for the other, this was important because of the responsibility created and ties formed by a marriage certificate.

Although, since Jiang Mo Chen was willing to ask, he was not going to shut him down. So he continued to nod his head mildly. “Yes,” he said, “I myself am currently an 18th-tier and totally unknown, but you are totally different. Your popularity is at its prime, every move you make receives great attention. It’s certainly not wise to publicly reveal your marriage at this time. “

“It’s good that you understand.”

Yan Qing Chi tilted his head. “Of course I understand. After all, I’m a very understanding and considerate person.” He said, and even winked.

Jiang Mo Chen suddenly received a wink without warning, and felt like it pierced his heart. He was a little speechless. “A ‘very understanding and considerate person’?” Jiang Mo Chen mocked internally, “Of those four words, you can probably only count as a ‘person’.”

He silently skipped over this sentence and inquired about Yan Qing Chi’s marriage conditions.

The two made small talk, and their meal was also served by the waiter at this time.

The taste of this private home cuisine was quite alright, the two were satisfied with their meal. During the meal, Jiang Mo Chen suddenly stopped the chopsticks in his hand and said, “Right. Since we’re getting married, I need to tell you a condition.”

Yan Qing Chi stopped as well and heard him say warmly, “I adopted a child. A boy. Five years old this year. When we get married, he will live with us. Is that okay?”

When Yan Qing Chi heard the words, he was slightly surprised. When he read the book, he did not notice that Jiang Mo Chen had an adopted child. He thought about it, and indeed he did not have any impression of seeing a description of the child.

“It may be because the book is from the perspective of the Little White Lotus, so Jiang Mo Chen’s child did not appear in the book before he met him.” Or so Yan Qing Chi thought.

“Yeah,” he responded. “Since we won’t have children when we get married anyway, I have no objections at all if we adopt a child.”

Yan Qing Chi even felt that if future conditions permitted for it, he could adopt one or two more. He himself had been in an orphanage, so he knew more than anyone how badly the children of the orphanage wanted to get out of there—how much they wanted a home of their own.

“Can I see a picture of the child?” he asked.

Jiang Mo Chen pulled out his phone, found a photo and opened it, then handed his phone over.

Yan Qing Chi took the phone. In the photo was a very elegant and pretty boy with milky white skin and black hair hanging softly in front of his forehead. He was pursing his lips, a pair of crystal clear cat eyes open wide as he looked into the camera cautiously. His right hand unconsciously gripped onto his clothes. Yan Qing Chi studied the photo and observed, “Looks like this child is not very close to Jiang Mo Chen. Otherwise, he would not be so unnatural in front of the camera.”

" "

He returned the phone, commenting softly, “He’s quite cute.”

“His name is Qiqi. He is five years old this year. He is very obedient and quiet. You will like him.”

Yan Qing Chi nodded. “I think so too.”

Jiang Mo Chen stopped talking, only saying, “Let’s eat.”

After dinner, Jiang Mo Chen drove Yan Qing Chi home. Before getting out of the car, Yan Qing Chi asked, “Does Qiqi know you are getting married?”

“Not yet. I will tell him within these two days. Don’t worry, he’s very obedient. He won’t have any feelings of rejection, let alone make things difficult for you.”

“I didn’t mean it that way. I was just thinking, since we are getting married, do you think I should see him?” Yan Qing Chi mused, “We can’t have him see me, his future… ” He paused, thought about what Qiqi should call him, and finally arrived at, “‘Dad’? For the first time on the day that we get married. “

Jiang Mo Chen hadn’t thought about this issue before. Now that Yan Qing Chi pointed it out, he thought that what he said was reasonable, “What do you think?”

“I think it’s better to meet in advance. I can also cultivate my relationship with the kid.”

Jiang Mo Chen chuckled, “And what if he doesn’t like you?”

Yan Qing Chi looked at him, “Didn’t you just say that ‘he’s very obedient, he won’t have any feelings of rejection, let alone make things difficult for me’?”

Jiang Mo Chen never thought that he would use his own words against him. He thought, “So he’s not that stupid after all.” He looked at Yan Qing Chi’s confident expression and his (YQC) eyes which were as bright as diamonds in a glass display, and deliberately said, “Just because he doesn’t reject you, doesn’t trouble you, that doesn’t mean that he will like you. “

Yan Qing Chi only ducked his head with a smug smirk, as if victory was in his hands. “Then you can wait and see.”

Seeing him so confident, Jiang Mo Chen couldn’t help but be curious about what will happen when the two meet. Although he had adopted Qiqi, perhaps because he didn’t have enough time to accompany the child, Qiqi was still not very close to him. He was indeed very well-behaved but also too well-behaved. If possible, Jiang Mo Chen hoped that he could act like ordinary children do towards their father. He hoped that Qiqi could wail and cry when he felt aggrieved, to throw a fit as he pleased and be noisy instead of being cautious and reserved, careful and quiet.

He looked at Yan Qing Chi, and felt that it would probably be good to have him and Qiqi meet and interact before they got married. This way, if Yan Qing Chi could get along well with Qiqi, then naturally all was well and good; if not, then he might have to reconsider this marriage.

“Do you have time these days?”

“Yup. I haven’t picked up any movies for the time being, so I should be free for the next few days.”

“Good. I’ll pick you up the day after tomorrow and take you to see Qiqi.”

“Alright.”

“See you the day after tomorrow,” Jiang Mo Chen said.

As soon as Yan Qing Chi heard that, he knew that today’s meeting ended here. He got out of the car and gave Jiang Mo Chen a smile, “Then see you the day after tomorrow.”

With that, he closed the door and left.

Jiang Mo Chen was left sitting there, surprised at how tactful he was. If he didn’t know the stupid things Yan Qing Chi had done before, he might have thought that this was a smart man. Jiang Mo Chen shook his head. It seemed that Yan Qing Chi was smarter than he thought. Not only did he have a deceiving appearance, he also had a heart that was skilled in disguising himself. “But,” Jiang Mo Chen sneered, “if it’s a fox, then it will always show its tail sometime1.” He wanted to see how long Yan Qing Chi could keep up the facade.
