CHAPTER 896: CHAPTER 896

Zhu Yue put on a look of keeping people at a great distance, very arrogant, full of airs.

Usually, she’s that proud, and wouldn’t give those lousy men any chances. Not to mention being someone’s girlfriend, even if a man wanted to invite her to dinner, it’s a dream. She wouldn’t agree.

Having always been obedient to Xu Qianli before, now putting on airs and acting high and mighty feels quite good.

Hehehe, Xu Qianli, you see? I am always this proud.

You being able to get me is a blessing you acquired through eight lifetimes, and you must cherish me and treat me twice as well.

Regarding Zhu Yue’s reaction, Gao Mei wasn’t surprised at all. This precious daughter of hers has always been proud and temperamental, spoiled since childhood, and treats all men like this, never fixing her gaze on them.

Recently, having been confirmed as the heir of the Zhu Family, she almost sees all men as nothing.

Now, even facing Xu Qianli, she’s that arrogant and completely disregards him, totally matching her usual demeanor.

Oh dear, this spoiled young lady attitude needs some curbing, or else, being so arrogant, how can Xu Qianli win her over?

Whenever I find the time, I must speak to her seriously and have her adjust her attitude.

Lan Mengni laughed and said, "Alright, Zhu Yue, don’t tease. We’re all friends, why act like this? Come, let me tell you, Xu Qianli is really amazing. He..."

Pulling Zhu Yue over, Lan Mengni talked spiritedly about Xu Qianli’s good points, embellishing the excellent things he has done recently, praising him like there’s none others like him in the world.

Listening in, Xu Qianli felt a bit embarrassed and quickly signaled to Lan Mengni.

"Hey, Mengni, there should be a limit to the praise. No one becomes a deity right away just because you say so."

Looking at Zhu Yue, she was being teased into laughter, clearly disbelieving.

From time to time, Zhu Yue glanced sidelong at Xu Qianli, with a gaze full of mock disdain. Xu Qianli, really, find a more trustworthy wingman; who believes these exaggerations from the sister-in-law? It’s too exaggerated, too funny.

Xu Qianli shrugged, "Well, you all go on talking. I’ll stick to drinking. ’Come on, Aunt Gao, thank you for introducing Miss Zhu to me. I appreciate your kindness. I drink to you.’

Gao Mei raised her glass, "No need to be so polite. You being such an excellent man, it’s Zhu Yue’s fortune to know you, and mine too. Cheers."

She raised the glass high and quickly downed it, as pleased as can be.

Xu Qianli also smiled and finished his drink.

As the fine wine went down, Xu Qianli suddenly noticed a delicate hand reaching over to his leg, fingers moving about.

Looking to the side where the hand reached from, he saw Gao Mei, this beautiful woman was writing on his leg with her fingers.

Lousy man, I’ve done as agreed and introduced Zhu Yue to you. Whether you can win her over depends on your capability. If you’re capable, win her over today and let her be with you.

But if you can’t, don’t complain. The opportunity is before you. If you can’t seize it, who can you blame but yourself for lacking skill.

Xu Qianli grasped Gao Mei’s hand, smilingly looking at her, "Wait and see, beautiful lady. I guarantee you’ll be amazed later."

Gao Mei understood Xu Qianli’s gaze and returned a flirtatious one.

Hm, rascal, you think my precious daughter Gao Mei is so easily dealt with? Think you’ll take her down easily?

Even if I gave you a year, you might not win her over.

I’ve given you the opportunity, let’s see how skilled you really are?

Xu Qianli cleared his throat and said to Zhu Yue, "Miss Zhu, as Mengni has told you my situation, what’s your stance? Agree or not?"

Zhu Yue said, "Agree or not? We’ve just met, and you want me to express my stance, where does someone like you come from? The sister-in-law mentioned some things about you, but didn’t talk about your family background, romantic views; do you have a past girlfriend? What’s your stance on romance?"

"Well, even if you don’t ask, I was just about to tell you. I have a girlfriend named Ding Meixin, whom I met while working in Zhongzhou City, we’ve met each other’s parents and confirmed our relationship, and she will be my main wife in the future. Additionally, I have a few concubines, and maintain special relationships with some other women. That’s the situation, and I never intended to hide it from you. That’s my situation, what do you think?"

"If you’re interested, just nod."

Xu Qianli waited for Zhu Yue’s response, "Beautiful lady, quickly give a sign."

Beside him, Gao Mei’s eyes widened, staring incredulously at Xu Qianli.

"You lucky fellow, my precious daughter is the wealthy young lady of Beijing Zhu Family, for you to encounter her and have the chance to let her be your girlfriend, it’s like your ancestors’ grave smoked with incense."

Swap in another man, he’d have cleared his past connections and focused on pursuing her.

Yet you, you tease, disclosed all your affairs, and clearly stated you have a main wife plus a few concubines. How can you even say it?

With someone like you, can my proud daughter follow you?

Darn, creating an opportunity for you, and you can’t seize it. It’s infuriating, too infuriating."

"I’m willing! Your name is Xu Qianli, right? From today on, I’ll be your woman. Can’t be your main wife, so I’ll be your concubine." After all, I am your woman now, you must treat me well."

Suddenly, Zhu Yue responded not only by agreeing, but got up, sat on Xu Qianli’s lap, looking sweetly at him.

This...

Gao Mei was completely dumbfounded. My heavens, what’s going on?

Her proud daughter with her nose held high, like a peacock, actually agreed to Xu Qianli?

Zhu Yue, didn’t you hear what Xu Qianli just said? He has a main wife, plus several concubines and you agreed to be with him?

Crazy, the world is crazy, Gao Mei couldn’t comprehend it, feeling her precious daughter is unreal.

She’s usually so proud, how could she agree?

Unable to hold back, Gao Mei quickly said, "Zhu Yue, did you really agree? Are you sure you’re not joking?"

"Mom, affairs of the heart, how could I joke around? I’m serious. Don’t believe it? See for yourself."

Zhu Yue licked her lips with the tip of her tongue, then pouted her red lips, and kissed Xu Qianli voluntarily, offering him a tempting kiss under Gao Mei’s gaze.
