Chapter 108: Wedding Preparation

“Can I kiss you now, Miss Lu?”

She was stunned.

Mo Yuanxiu used his left hand to pull her face closer.

She furrowed her brows and eyed him cautiously. She thought about turning him down every second, but in the end, their lips still touched.

Mo Yuanxiu bit her lip lightly.

The two of them…

They went deeper and deeper.

This was the first time she felt that Mo Yuanxiu was a gentle man.

He wasn’t as domineering as he used to be. His lips landed on hers, and his gentleness deepened.

The kiss lasted for a while.

It was so long that they were both panting.

Mo Yuanxiu let go of her and looked at her slightly red cheeks and the glow on her lips. He then placed a finger on her soft lips and said in a low and husky voice, “I’ll be leaving Wen City tomorrow.”

“Mm?” Lu Manman furrowed her brows.

Leaving?

Didn’t he just say they were getting married?

“I’ll be back before we get married,” he said directly.

“So you want me to do the whole thing by myself?”

“Ye Heng will help you.”

“Then, get Ye Heng to hold the ceremony with you,” Lu Manman said angrily.

“Don’t worry. I’ll come back and consummate with you.” Mo Yuanxiu smiled deviously.

“I already said it’s a marriage in name only! Don’t think too much about it!”

“But Miss Lu was enjoying it just now.” Mo Yuanxiu was referring to the kiss.

“It’s tolerance, not enjoyment.” Even though she had to admit that Mo Yuanxiu was indeed an experienced kisser.

At least, he was better than Wen Yun.

Or perhaps, Wen Yun had never used his skills on her before.

“Compared to who?” Mo Yuanxiu squinted.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Lu Manman turned around, refusing to admit it.

Mo Yuanxiu smiled calmly but did not probe further.

“Mo Yuanxiu,” Lu Manman said as if she’d just remembered something.

“Mm?”

“Let’s make a pact before we get married.”

“Why?” Mo Yuanxiu asked.

“Because it’s a marriage in name only,” she emphasized.

He simply shrugged and smiled.

“Firstly, we can sleep in the same room after we get married, but not on the same bed.”

“Secondly, we’re still two independent entities after we get married. Our paths cross because of our interests and cooperation, so we can’t ask each other to do anything beyond that.”

“Thirdly, financial independence. Sign a certificate of assets before our marriage. Even if we have a divorce, what’s yours is yours, and what’s mine is mine. We can’t use each other’s assets. Of course, I will return such an expensive diamond ring to you as well.”

“Fourthly, I know that you’re a flirt and that you can’t control your lower body. I won’t interfere in your private life after we get married, but I can’t let anyone find out about it. What I mean is that you have to be careful when you’re having an affair. If the media reports anything, our collaboration will be terminated. I would like to remind you that even though I don’t care how loving you are with other women, I also won’t allow you to bring any women home for the night.”

“Fifthly, we are still in a marriage in name only. One day, we will find the person we are destined to be with. Once we find our true love, regardless of the reason, as long as either party proposes a divorce, we are not allowed to reject them on any pretext.”

Lu Manman said it all in one go.

Mo Yuanxiu asked her, “What if you fall in love with me?”

“Impossible,” she said simply.
