Chapter 14 - Marry me

Zhang Yuqi had never thought that the stranger she kissed would turn out to be the elusive Golden Bachelor of the country. Even more mind boggling was the fact that she had slept with the same person a year ago, although she had no idea of that, yet.

"Miss Zhang, are you underestimating me then?"

Lu Zitian spoke in an icy tone.

It took Zhang Yuqi quite a few seconds to realise what he meant. If she told anyone that she had paid a few hundred yuan to Lu Zitian for his 'services', she would be laughed at for the next century.

She sat there without a word. She was scared speechless. She simply had no words to reply.

"Compensate me!"

These words fell from Lu Zitian's lips like an imperial decree.

Zhang Yuqi felt something amiss. Wasn't she supposed to be punished to death for taking advantage of him? Compensation?.....What kind of compensation could she give?

She felt completely puzzled. She looked at Lu Zitian with questioning eyes.

"You kissed me, won't you take responsibility for that?"

Zhang Yuqi felt that something was wrong there. She had only kissed him lightly. It was even her first kiss. Did she need to take responsibility just because of that?

She whispered to herself, "It was just a kiss, do you need to be so petty?"

She picked up her tea and took a big gulp.

Lu Zitian had good hearing and heard her. With a humorous tone, said, "Just a kiss? What about that night about a year ago?"

Zhang Yuqi choked on the tea and coughed vehemently. The night a year ago?...Was he talking about the night she lost her first time?.....It could have been another girl too....how was he so sure it was her that night?...Also wasn't it him who was supposed to take responsibility for her? Why was this going in a completely different way?

"Mr. Lu, are you sure it was me that night?....also shouldn't it be you who takes responsibility?"

Lu Zitian let out a deep chuckle, as if he had expected this question. It made Zhang Yuqi shiver.

"You doubt my memory?...You were wearing a floral dress with black straps, white heels, and your lingerie was from V brand, white and lacey....As for your last question, I am ok with that too!"

If Ye Chen and Lu Jianyu were here, they would have cried out of happiness. The cold and distant Lu Zitian had spoken so much at a time and also paid attention to women's clothing and undergarments!!!

Hearing Lu Zitian describe her exact getup that day, even to the specific brand of her lingerie, Zhang Yuqi blushed like a tomato. Wasn't he rumuored to be uncaring towards women? Wasn't he.....gay?

"Then...then, Mr. Lu, what do you want? I..I....I will try to fulfill your requirements."

Yuqi spoke in a meek voice.

Seeing the girl sitting in a dazed manner, as if waiting for a death sentence, Lu Zitian smirked.

Then he slowly spoke.

"Marry me."

Zhang Yuqi felt an explosion in her head. Did she hear it right?....Marry?....Marry him???

A few moments later, she slowly turned her head to look at Lu Zitian, wanting to know if what she heard was a delusion or not. But, the man's straight face showed that it was not a joke.

How was she supposed to handle this situation? This was the first time she felt so helpless.

She slowly asked him, "Aren't you....ummmm...gay?"

As soon as she said those words, Lu Zitian's face turned as black as the underside of a burnt pot and she felt an invisible vice like grip on her throat. The powerful aura that he released was almost crushing her. The through gritted teeth Lu Zitian said, "How about we do something to prove my sexual orientation to you, Miss Zhang?"

"No...no..no...no need!", Zhang Yuqi frantically waved her hands in denial.

If this was before, she would definitely have refused to this proposal even at the cost of death, because she believed that love was necessary for marriage. It was also because of this that she had escaped from that person. But now...she only wanted a stable life. She would definitely not love again.

Who was a better choice than the man in front of her. He was someone who could give her a stable life, since he had the power to do so. Besides, they had already slept together once. He was rich, had a powerful influence and devilishly good looks. Although, she hadn't seen his body ever, from his built and the fit of his suit, his body was definitely very good.

In marrying him, she was definitely not losing out!
