"Clang."Hao Jian's pair of chopsticks fell directly to the ground, and an uglier-than-crying smile appeared on his face. "Mom, brother is crying." Tongtong turned her head and said to Sister Lan. "Hao Jian, why didn't I hear about you having a fiancée?" Out of curiosity, Sister Lan asked that a fiancée, such a dramatic term, seemed like something only noble families in TV shows would use. "Not just you, even I found out today that I have a fiancée," Hao Jian said irritably. "Oh?" Sister Lan became even more puzzled. "Dear, I'm sorry, please don't be mad at her, she realized her mistake." Shu Ya quickly wrapped her arms around Hao Jian's neck, fearful of giving away too much and arousing Sister Lan's suspicion. She had to ensure that the plan was flawless without any slip-ups. Seeing Shu Ya embrace Hao Jian like this, Sister Lan thought to herself that the couple must be having a lovers' squabble, but she couldn't understand why she felt a bit uncomfortable watching them together. "Then, will you still have a 5P behind my back?" Hao Jian glanced sideways at Shu Ya and asked. "Hiss." Sister Lan gasped in shock. 5P? Was this girl that wild? She didn't look the part. In her eyes, Shu Ya seemed so gentle and well-dressed, clearly a well-bred woman. Could such a girl engage in 5P? Shu Ya's expression also froze. This jerk, he did it on purpose! "Yeah, I'll never dare again," Shu Ya said with a forced smile while pinching Hao Jian hard on his waist. "Hiss. For this time, hiss hiss, I'll forgive you," Hao Jian gasped in pain while forcing a smile uglier than crying. The more Sister Lan watched this couple, the more bizarre she found them, and she was at a loss for any response. "Mommy, what does 5P mean?" Curious baby Tongtong started asking questions again. "Children should not ask so many questions!" Sister Lan scolded irritably, her face also flushing red. How was she supposed to answer that? Shu Ya's face was as red as a monkey's butt, and she kept pinching Hao Jian vigorously. By this time, Hao Jian's facial expression had completely stiffened, only his facial muscles twitched relentlessly. "Since you're here, let's eat dinner together," Sister Lan said warmly. "Thank you, my name is Shu Ya, just call me Ya," Shu Ya sat down without any hesitation. "No one wants to know who you are," Hao Jian started undermining her again. Shu Ya glared at him fiercely, then turning to Sister Lan said, "Landlady, you look so young and also so beautiful." What woman doesn't like being praised as beautiful and lovely? Sister Lan was no exception! Upon hearing this from Shu Ya, a shy smile couldn't help spreading across Sister Lan's face: "You're joking, right? At your age, you still talk about beauty? But you, you're the one who's both young and pretty. And that grace about you, you must come from a notable family, right?" "Yes, yes, Sister Lan is as beautiful as a princess," Tongtong added, her small eyes shining. In her eyes, Shu Ya was simply Snow White, who had stepped right out of a comic book, so beautiful and charming! "You're not bad either, look at your cute little cheeks, you must have plenty of boys chasing you at school, right?" Shu Ya said, pinching Tongtong's cheeks with a smile. Tongtong had also inherited her mother's beauty, like a porcelain doll, her whole little face was so playful and cute, clearly a beauty in the making. Hao Jian just watched these three women complimenting each other and suddenly had a bad feeling, wondering if these three women would form an alliance against him in the future. Finally, after finishing the meal, Hao Jian took Shu Ya back to his room. Shu Ya glanced at Hao Jian's room and was immediately disgusted. Beer bottles and instant noodle cups covered the floor, cockroaches and flies crawled and flew around; to call this place suitable for humans was an understatement—it was more like a garbage dump. "You...you actually live in this place?" Shu Ya asked Hao Jian in horror. At that moment, she even doubted how she had managed to sleep there the night before! "What, you have a problem?" Hao Jian raised his eyebrows and glanced at Shu Ya's large suitcase, then said in amazement, "You're not planning to live with me, are you?" "Why not? This is called going all in for the act. Once you and I get married, my family will definitely investigate our past interactions. If they find out we haven't been together before getting married, they'll surely be suspicious," Shu Ya said matter-of-factly. "But you don't have to live in my house for that. Shouldn't we take things step by step? Moving in all of a sudden might make people suspect even more," Hao Jian tried to persuade Shu Ya.

At that point, I'll just tell them that you saw me during a company interview, fell in love with me at first sight, launched a major offensive, begged me to be with you, and then I reluctantly agreed to date you. After spending some time together, I found you to be a decent person, so I agreed to marry you. Geez, I'm such a genius!" Shu Ya was almost dazzled by her own cleverness. "Why is it me pursuing you? Why not you chasing me?" Hao Jian glared, unhappy with the plot arrangement. Shu Ya looked at Hao Jian with disdain, "Do I even need to ask? I'm the rich and beautiful one, and you are the poor guy. Me chasing you? Who would believe that?" "Nonsense, I'm a man with potential! Plus, I'm handsome! Besides, it's clearly you who desperately wants me to marry you. Why does it turn out to be me chasing you?" Hao Jian was not pleased. "Who was desperately wanting it?" Shu Ya's cheeks puffed up in anger. This jerk—was he picking and choosing when such a beautiful woman like her was throwing herself at him? Was he even a man? Hao Jian didn't reply, just rolled his eyes, then put a finger to his throat and mimicked in a high-pitched voice, "Hao Jian, will you marry me? If you don't marry me, I'll die just to show you!" "You jerk! I'm going to fight you!" Furiously embarrassed, Shu Ya lunged at Hao Jian, her fists flying everywhere. "Hey, hey, stop messing around." Caught off guard, Hao Jian was swiftly knocked down by Shu Ya! In that moment, both of them froze. Neither of them dared to move, fearing they would make the situation even more awkward. After a moment of awkwardness, Hao Jian immediately snapped back to his senses, looking at Shu Ya who was close at hand, and smirked mischievously.
