“I think we might not be a good match,” Zhao Wanwan said to the man with a stern face, her voice trembling. She never expected that a handsome man who looked like a high-level corporate executive would come out for a blind date.”

Zhao Wanwan didn't want to humiliate herself, so she first beat a retreat.

I know that under these conditions, I have a disadvantage in the dating market.

Twenty-six years old, and he still has a four-year-old boy.

Even if they want to get married, it's the kind of person who sets conditions and wants to find someone to share their life and responsibilities with.

Someone like Lu Jingcheng, a tall and distinguished businessman across the way, would definitely not be someone I'd consider.

They need marriage urgently, but they won't be unrealistic and reach for something beyond their grasp.

I still have some self-awareness.

Lu Jingcheng carefully observed Zhao Wanwan, he was very satisfied with this blind date object.

It wasn't because Zhao Wanwan was beautiful, but because she had a clear self-awareness.

All he needs now is a marriage; as for who he marries, it doesn't matter.

But, it's always better to have someone who knows their limits than to deal with unnecessary trouble.

"Zhao Shi, I want to introduce someone who can outline the terms of our agreement for both parties." Lu Jingcheng always preferred to be in control. The moment he spoke, he took command of the situation, causing Zhao Wanwan to subconsciously focus her attention.

“You are a four-year-old child's mother looking for someone with a house to marry and settle down with.” Lu Jingcheng pointed out their respective needs, “I just need a marriage.”

"I know." Zhao Wanwan nodded. "But, I think with Mr. Lu's conditions, he shouldn't be lacking a marriage partner."

Just based on his looks, if he were to walk outside, plenty of girls would be rushing towards him.

Lu Jingcheng simply stated: "I only want a year of marriage. After a year, we'll agree to divorce."

"A fake marriage?" Zhao Wanwan frowned in resistance, "This, I'm afraid I can't agree to."

Mr. Lu, you know I have a child. I don't want to raise him in a life of marriage and divorce. That would be harmful to him.

I want to find someone who is a good fit, to give my child a stable home.

I believe that marriage can be cultivated gradually after the wedding. As long as the other person's character is not bad, I think it will be fine.

It is clear that Lu Jingcheng does not meet the requirements.

"A year from now, the house under my name can be transferred to yours." Lu Jingcheng was a businessman after all, knowing best how to target his opponent's weaknesses and win with one move. "The reason you came out on this blind date wasn't just to secure a house for your child to settle down, right?"

His words struck Zhao Wanwan right in the heart, leaving her with no way to refuse.

Moreover, he threw out another reason that made it impossible to say no: "Besides, when you look for other blind date candidates, can you guarantee they will never get divorced?"

"Marry me, and a year later you'll have a house. Even if you never marry again, it won't affect your children's schooling."

"I know Zhao Shi is a diligent person and can fully support you and your children through his own efforts."

But, if you want to buy a house, it's probably still a little difficult. Lu Jingcheng said very sincerely.

Zhao Wanwan knew that Lu Jingcheng's last words were already quite tactful.

Buying a house is quite a difficult thing for people of this socioeconomic level.

Faced with such a reality, he made a decision without hesitation: "Mr. Lu, shall we sign an agreement first?"

Lu Jingcheng raised a satisfied eyebrow, taking out two prepared agreements and pens from the file bag beside him. "Zhao Shi, you can take a look at the terms,"

Zhao Wanwan took a deep look at the man opposite her. She had even prepared the agreement in advance, it seemed that Lu Jingcheng had never considered that there would be a failed outcome to this negotiation.

Fortunately, it was just a contract marriage. Otherwise, I wouldn't want to be with this kind of person for the rest of my life.

He is resourceful, can read people's hearts, and control the overall situation…We are from two different worlds to begin with.

Lu Jingcheng signed the agreement, pushed Zhao Wanwan's copy over, and after taking his own, said: "If there are no problems, we can go to the Civil Affairs Bureau."

Zhao Wanwan carefully folded the agreement and put it into her bag. "I need to go back and get my household registration book."

It was unexpected that after the blind date, they would go straight to get their marriage license. Of course, they wouldn't bring any relevant documents.

Lu Jingcheng said, "I'll send you there."

"Oh, no need." Zhao Wanwan thought of her own situation at home and simply refused. "Let's meet at the Civil Affairs Bureau in a while."

Lu Jingcheng only wanted a marriage and didn't want to pry into Zhao Wanwan's private life: "Okay."

Zhao Wanwan and Lu Jingcheng came out of the coffee shop. Seeing Lu Jingcheng get into a car, Zhao Wanwan turned to take the bus back to her parents' house.

It has been five years since I moved out, and I haven't come back since.

To Zhao Wanwan's surprise, the doorknob at home had already been changed.

Tucking away the key to the unopenable anti-theft door, I took a deep breath and pressed the doorbell.

As soon as the anti-theft door opened, a crowd of people appeared, followed by words that were like a nightmare to Zhao Wanwan: "Well, who is this? It's the hero who gave me a grandson back!"

"Come, come, come in, let me have a good look, my pride and joy!"

Xu Shuang Hong's angry words made Zhao Wan Wan even more convinced that her agreement to marry Lu Jing Cheng was the right decision.

"Mom, I'm here to get my household registration booklet." Zhao Wanwan was used to the insults from her mother and didn't want to waste time. She just wanted to grab the booklet and leave as quickly as possible, not wanting to stay for a second longer.

Xu Shuang Hong's words were met with silence. She snapped, "What do you want my household registration for?"

"I'm getting married, and I'm going to move my household registration along with my child." Zhao Wanwan said this with a sense of relief.

Finally, I can completely escape this suffocating home.

Xu Shuang Hong, completely unprepared, exploded: "You're getting married? Who are you marrying?"

"Who in their right mind would marry a used good? Did you even make that clear to the person?"

"You already embarrassed us enough before, don't get a divorce right after getting married again and make me and your father lose face!"

Xu Shuang Hong's words came like a barrage of bullets, each one sharp and cutting deeply into Zhao Wan Wan's heart. There was no mercy in her words, every blow landed with brutal precision.

Even five years later, Zhao Wanwan, who thought she was strong enough, still found her vision blurry: "Mom, I was set up!"

"I'm the one who did this!" Zhao Wanwan cried out, feeling wronged.

"What are you? Let others hear this, isn't it honorable?" Xu Shuanghong twisted with rage, looking ferocious like a demon, wishing she could eat Zhao Wanwan alive. "You insist on going out to socialize! You wouldn't go, would you? Then that incident could have happened!"

"How come other people aren't being taken advantage of? Only you get tricked?" Xu Shuang Hong scolded, getting angrier by the minute. "You've truly disgraced yourself! You've thrown away all the face your father and I have."

Zhao Wanwan took a deep breath, enduring the agonizing pain in her heart, forcing back her tears. "Just so you know, I'm married now. I've moved out of the household register and I won't be coming back. You don't have to follow suit and bring shame upon yourselves either."

"You got wings now, huh? Now you think you're too good for me? If I wasn't looking out for you, why would I even bother telling you what to do? Why don't I just leave people walking down the street alone?" Xu Shuang Hong pointed at Zhao Wanwan's nose and scolded.

This ungrateful wretch is going to drive me crazy!

One cannot tell who is good or bad.

Is it for whom?

Even when others begged him to help, he wouldn't!
