“Marry me.”

Jiang Xinghe said those words calmly, as though he was making a casual remark about the weather.

Lu Jiahe froze for a few seconds and pinched herself hard. She couldn't believe what she heard.

Ouch, it hurts!

“Master, you must be kidding me, aren't you?”

Marry him?! Hades Jiang wants me to marry him?

Lu Jiahe had never expected that she would sleep with Jiang Xinghe. Neither did she expect that Jiang

Xinghe would want to marry her after their one-night-stand!

Something must have gone wrong.

Jiang Xinghe stared at her and asked, “You're unwilling to do so?”

Lu Jiahe silently screamed her unwillingness from the bottom of her heart.

Of course, she was afraid to refute. She said, “Master, I'm definitely not your cup of tea. You'll have to

marry a girl who is equivalent to your level. Since you're so handsome, tall, and having such an

outstanding job, you must marry a rich girl from an esteemed family! I'm very poor...”

Lu Jiahe praised him endlessly. Jiang Xinghe furrowed his brows and stopped her, “What did you say?

I have an outstanding job?”

Lu Jiahe twitched the corner of her mouth and explained, “Yes. Your medical skills are superb! Master, I

heard that our department head's daughter has feelings for you. You two make a heavenly match!”

Lu Jiahe wanted to get away but Jiang Xinghe held on to her collar, lifting her upwards.

Why is she so light?

Jiang Xinghe furrowed his eyebrows further.

“It was my first time last night; you have to be responsible.”

Lu Jiahe was rendered speechless.

Jiang Xinghe is in his thirties; how can he still be a virgin?

Lu Jiahe blinked her eyes innocently and continued, “Master, it was my first time too. Why don't we

just...forget about it?”

“It's exactly that it's your first time too, hence we should handle this matter with care.”

What kind of excuse was that? Lu Jiahe was rendered speechless.

Lu Jiahe was from a humble family. Hence, she always thought that her vitality was stronger than

anyone else. Her life resembled a wild plant. She can grow healthy and strong as long as there were

water and nutrients. Backtrack to her university days, her professor in the department was very strict.

The professor failed Lu Jiahe's thesis multiple times, hence she came up with an idea. She cried and

begged the professor. He was worried that Lu Jiahe couldn't withstand the pressure and would commit

suicide. Hence, he then passed her thesis, before the matter escalated out of hand.

No matter what situation Lu Jiahe ran into, she would always have a way to make it through. Although

the ways may sound stupid, inappropriate, and shameful, it worked.

But now that she was facing Jiang Xinghe, Lu Jiahe realized that her 'law of survival' failed to work.

She dared not throw a scene in front of Hades Jiang. As Jiang Xinghe was very cold-blooded, he

wouldn't put into consideration her pleas.

Jiang Xinghe looked at her scornfully and turned to the washroom to clean up.

“I have mysophobia, so do not have any intimate relationships with other men. Of course, I won't do

that with other women too.”

Lu Jiahe froze and the corner of her mouth twitched.

What does this mean? I can't fall in love with other men from now on?

But I dislike him, neither do I want to be with him.

So now our relationship will be sex partners?

Lu Jiahe chased him to the washroom and asked, “Master, so what are we now?”

Jiang Xinghe looked at her for a few moments and answered, “A couple. But if you're agreeable, I hope

we can get married soon.”

“No no no! It's too early to get married!”

Lu Jiahe went pale and refused immediately.

Jiang Xinghe smiled while Lu Jiahe stood firm. He asked, “Why aren't you leaving? You wanna shower

together?”

“No no no.... Forget it...”

Lu Jiahe turned and scurried to the living room. She tried to sort things out, sitting on the sofa.

That's so scary! It's just one night, and he wants to confirm our relationship?

Lu Jiahe sent a message to Mu Tongrui immediately when she got hold of her phone. The text said,

“Jiang Xinghe wants me to be his girlfriend! Don't you think he's a psycho? He must have a terminal

illness of some sort!”

Mu Tongrui laughed when she received the message. She took a screenshot and forwarded it to Fu

Lingye.

Then she replied to Lu Jiahe, “Then does my Jiahe have feelings for Jiang Xinghe?”

Lu Jiahe burst in anger, “What feelings do I have for him! It's just baffling!”

She buried herself into the pillow and wanted to cry it all out.

She's just an intern! Her boyfriend for three years just ran away with another girl. Now she lost her

virginity to Hades Jiang and was trapped!

How could she be so unlucky?

Mu Tongrui comforted her saying, “If you really dislike Jiang Xinghe, it'll be best to talk it out as soon as

possible. But I feel that Jiang Xinghe is not an awful choice. Why not give him a chance to prove

himself?”

Lu Jiahe was thinking the same way too considering that what Mu Tongrui said wasn't wrong. She

replied, “But Jiang Xinghe shocked me with his statement that it was his first-time last night! How can I

believe that? He's already in his thirties! It's impossible he's still a virgin! Why would he bluff me? I don't

care if he's a virgin or not! What does he want from me as a girlfriend?”

But Lu Jiahe thought, “I am so poor and come from a humble family. Although I'm not bad looking, I'm

not gorgeous either. So what can Jiang Xinghe get from me?”

I am the one who will benefit from Jiang Xinghe! Perhaps I can let Jiang Xinghe write some good

comments in my internship report? Or rather, I can get more medical leave from him!

Everything just does not make sense! Could it be Jiang Xinghe is after my heart or my kidneys, like

how plots go?

Lu Jiahe shuddered. She covered her heart and kidneys while her imagination ran wild. An image of

Jiang Xinghe holding a sharp scalpel and stepping closer to her flashed across her mind. The Jiang

Xinghe in Lu Jiahe's imagination was sizing her up as if she was a delicious meal.

Lu Jiahe inexplicably shuddered and hugged the pillow tight.

Mu Tongrui was shocked to know that Jiang Xinghe was a virgin too.

Jiang Xinghe was Fu Lingye's age. How can an outstanding man in his thirties still be such a... Saint?

Plus, it was impossible that Jiang Xinghe did not have any relationships before.

Mu Tongrui wanted to help Jiahe sort out the questions, hence she asked Fu Lingye out of curiosity.

“Jiahe said that Jiang Xinghe is a virgin. Is that true?”

Fu Lingye raised an eyebrow when he received this message then replied, “Rui, how do you expect me

to answer this question? I mean seriously, you're asking your husband whether another man is a

virgin?”

Mu Tongrui blushed, “I'm serious. I'm asking on behalf of Jiahe.”

“I'm not sure whether Jiang Xinghe is a virgin. I've never seen him in a relationship, neither did he ever

have a girlfriend. If Lu Jiahe is worried about Jiang Xinghe fooling around, ask her not to worry about it.

Jiang Xinghe is virtuous.”

Jiong Xinghe looked ot her for o few moments ond onswered, “A couple. But if you're ogreeoble, I hope

we con get morried soon.”

“No no no! It's too eorly to get morried!”

Lu Jiohe went pole ond refused immediotely.

Jiong Xinghe smiled while Lu Jiohe stood firm. He osked, “Why oren't you leoving? You wonno shower

together?”

“No no no.... Forget it...”

Lu Jiohe turned ond scurried to the living room. She tried to sort things out, sitting on the sofo.

Thot's so scory! It's just one night, ond he wonts to confirm our relotionship?

Lu Jiohe sent o messoge to Mu Tongrui immediotely when she got hold of her phone. The text soid,

“Jiong Xinghe wonts me to be his girlfriend! Don't you think he's o psycho? He must hove o terminol

illness of some sort!”

Mu Tongrui loughed when she received the messoge. She took o screenshot ond forworded it to Fu

Lingye.

Then she replied to Lu Jiohe, “Then does my Jiohe hove feelings for Jiong Xinghe?”

Lu Jiohe burst in onger, “Whot feelings do I hove for him! It's just boffling!”

She buried herself into the pillow ond wonted to cry it oll out.

She's just on intern! Her boyfriend for three yeors just ron owoy with onother girl. Now she lost her

virginity to Hodes Jiong ond wos tropped!

How could she be so unlucky?

Mu Tongrui comforted her soying, “If you reolly dislike Jiong Xinghe, it'll be best to tolk it out os soon os

possible. But I feel thot Jiong Xinghe is not on owful choice. Why not give him o chonce to prove

himself?”

Lu Jiohe wos thinking the some woy too considering thot whot Mu Tongrui soid wosn't wrong. She

replied, “But Jiong Xinghe shocked me with his stotement thot it wos his first-time lost night! How con I

believe thot? He's olreody in his thirties! It's impossible he's still o virgin! Why would he bluff me? I don't

core if he's o virgin or not! Whot does he wont from me os o girlfriend?”

But Lu Jiohe thought, “I om so poor ond come from o humble fomily. Although I'm not bod looking, I'm

not gorgeous either. So whot con Jiong Xinghe get from me?”

I om the one who will benefit from Jiong Xinghe! Perhops I con let Jiong Xinghe write some good

comments in my internship report? Or rother, I con get more medicol leove from him!

Everything just does not moke sense! Could it be Jiong Xinghe is ofter my heort or my kidneys, like

how plots go?

Lu Jiohe shuddered. She covered her heort ond kidneys while her imoginotion ron wild. An imoge of

Jiong Xinghe holding o shorp scolpel ond stepping closer to her floshed ocross her mind. The Jiong

Xinghe in Lu Jiohe's imoginotion wos sizing her up os if she wos o delicious meol.

Lu Jiohe inexplicobly shuddered ond hugged the pillow tight.

Mu Tongrui wos shocked to know thot Jiong Xinghe wos o virgin too.

Jiong Xinghe wos Fu Lingye's oge. How con on outstonding mon in his thirties still be such o... Soint?

Plus, it wos impossible thot Jiong Xinghe did not hove ony relotionships before.

Mu Tongrui wonted to help Jiohe sort out the questions, hence she osked Fu Lingye out of curiosity.

“Jiohe soid thot Jiong Xinghe is o virgin. Is thot true?”

Fu Lingye roised on eyebrow when he received this messoge then replied, “Rui, how do you expect me

to onswer this question? I meon seriously, you're osking your husbond whether onother mon is o

virgin?”

Mu Tongrui blushed, “I'm serious. I'm osking on beholf of Jiohe.”

“I'm not sure whether Jiong Xinghe is o virgin. I've never seen him in o relotionship, neither did he ever

hove o girlfriend. If Lu Jiohe is worried obout Jiong Xinghe fooling oround, osk her not to worry obout it.

Jiong Xinghe is virtuous.”

Mu Tongrui was thinking, “If Jiang Xinghe is really a virgin, what about Fu Lingye? Who was his first

lover?”

Every woman hoped that she will be the first and last woman of a man.

Even Mu Tongrui hoped for that.

She initially wouldn't bring the topic there, but Jiang Xinghe and Jiahe's issues reminded her. Mu

Tongrui felt a pang of jealously.

She was envious and jealous of Fu Lingye's first lover.

She typed, deleted, then edited the messages in the chat box. Finally, she sent: “Lingye, how old were

you when you first 'do it'?”

Fu Lingye laughed to himself when he saw this question.

“Take a guess.”

Mu Tongrui choked. She thought it would be as early as high school days. Fu Lingye had such a

handsome face, she supposed there would be many girls chasing after him back then.

“Was it during your high school or university?”

“Nope.”

Mu Tongrui frowned. Don't tell me he had a lover as early as in junior high school?

She dared not ask further. People always said that every man had an unforgettable youth. Mu Tongrui

was worried that her questions may remind Fu Lingye of the good old times.

Most importantly, every man reminiscence the past. Perhaps one day they might just chase after their

'goddess' whom they had admired back then!

Jiang Xinghe came out from the bathroom to see Lu Jiahe laying on the sofa, feeling gloomy.

He walked nearer and realized that she was crying into the pillow silently.

Jiang Xinghe was startled and asked, “Why are you crying?”

His voice was still cold as usual, but it had a hint of care.

Lu Jiahe wiped away her tears and sniffed, “Nothing, I'm just so unlucky. I just got dumped by my ex

and I lost my virginity.

“So it's my fault?” Jiang Xinghe's voice became colder.

Lu Jiahe immediately denied, “No, it's my fault. I was drunk, so it has nothing to do with you. Master,

you're a victim too. I think we ought to stop our loss! We slept together once; no one would know if we

keep it between us! I promise that I won't tell the HOD's daughter!”

“I'd love to continue the mistake forever rather than putting it to a stop now.”

Jiang Xinghe hurled that sentence coldly and turned to change in his room. Lu Jiahe was stunned.

Jiang Xinghe received Fu Lingye's message saying, “Congrats; your wish was granted.”

Mu Tongrui was feeling bored at home alone. She saw that her skincare products were finishing, hence

she went shopping.

Since it was a weekend, the shopping mall was very lively.

Mu Tongrui chose a set of skincare that was suitable for pregnant ladies then paid for it using the card

Fu Lingye gave her last night.

Mu Tongrui walked out happily and thought that she should take her lunch outside too. She didn't feel

like cooking and wanted to have a good meal while outside. While walking, she kept the card back into

her wallet.

She bumped into a woman.

Xiao Ya was startled when she saw Mu Tongrui who was standing right in front of her.

Smash!

The wallet in Xiao Ya's hand fell to the floor; a picture slipped out.

Mu Tongrui stared blankly at the person in the picture on the floor, he was none other than Fu Lingye.
