"Bet that I can win and kill you."
Lu Qi's eyes were filled with determination as she continued to speak, "My current physical condition has not been adjusted to my optimal state. The injury on my ankle will also affect my speed. Give me a month's time. Before the wedding, I will fight you again! Do you dare to bet?"
Mo Chen folded his arms in interest. He leaned against the bookshelf behind him and asked in acquiescence, "What are we betting?"
Lu Qi lowered her eyes and pondered for a long time. Then, she looked up at Mo Chen and said slowly, "If I win, I want your life."
"If I lose, I'll marry you according to the agreement."
Mo Chen parted his thin lips and clapped his hands repeatedly. His eyes flickered with a smile as he agreed, "Okay!"
"In a month's time, in this same bedroom, I'll wait for you..."
Mo Chen's words were filled with ambiguity as he added, "But I hope you can remember the bet we made today and not bite me on the bed when the time comes."
Lu Qi silently clenched her fists. She angrily turned around and wanted to leave, but Mo Chen quickly walked to her side and pressed on her shoulder.
Mo Chen could feel the enmity and anger lingering all over her body. He said helplessly in a soft voice, "You need to recuperate since your ankle is twisted."
"If your injury becomes serious, how can you compete with me in a month?"
"Even if I win, you'll have an excuse to refuse to fulfill your bet."
Mo Chen carried Lu Qi in his arms and walked straight to the commercial car parked outside the villa.
The driver tactfully lowered the partition. Mo Chen took out an anti-inflammatory spray from the car. He naturally lifted Lu Qi's feet and helped her take off her sports shoes to apply the spray. When the cold spray touched her skin, Lu Qi gasped in pain.
Mo Chen furrowed his brows. He weakened his hold to check Lu Qi's condition. "Your bones are not injured."
"Go home and put some ice on it. Don't force yourself."
Mo Chen took out two bags of ice from the mini refrigerator in the car, pulled out a handkerchief, and wrapped it around Lu Qi's wound.
Lu Qi stared at him with a twinkle in her eyes. She silently looked out the window.
What on earth was this man trying to do? Lu Qi felt even more confused!

Late at night, the Yu family on the other side of the city was also filled with a heavy atmosphere.
Yu Yang's learned of the Lu family's attitude from Yu Yang and was so angry that his face turned red. He paced around the living room and cursed, "That girl, Lu Qi, is really shameless. We've already lowered ourselves to apologize, yet she still won't forgive our family?"
"Tomorrow, we'll go together! I don't believe that Lu Han can disregard the dignity of the two families..."
Yu Yang sat silently by the side. He looked at the message Lu Nuannuan sent, complaining about being humiliated by Lu Qi, and his mood was stifled as he growled in a low voice, "Now that things have reached this stage, do you really want me to marry Lu Qi? The woman I love is Nuannuan!"
"Bastard! I think you're living too comfortably!"
Mr. Yu raised his hand angrily and wanted to slap Yu Yang, but Mrs. Yu quickly ran over to stop him so he could only give up.
"The extended family of the Lu family is just an empty shell. Lu Nuannuan seems to be in the socialite circle all day long. However, as long as Lu Han changes the ownership of the enterprise and kicks Lu Wei out of the board of directors, she won't be able to last six months and will have to sell her clothes and jewelry! Love? Wake up!"
"In a family like ours, marriage is a commodity that can be converted into money and profits!"
Mr. Yu's eyes were filled with disgust as he stared at Yu Yang, gesturing for Mrs. Yu to bring him back to his room.
The next morning, the Yu Yang's brought Yu Yang back to the Lu family. Lu Qi woke up with sleepy eyes and saw them sitting in the living room. A wave of frustration rose in her heart.
She took out an ice pack from the refrigerator in the kitchen and put it on her ankle. She raised her eyes and asked, "What are you still doing here?"
"Qiqi, we know that you're still angry, but Yu Yang already knows that he's wrong."
"You two had a relationship so I think that the two families should discuss the engagement again..."
Lu Han and Xie Jiao had a good impression of Mo Chen recently. They also sensed that Lu Qi didn't like Yu Yang, so they said firmly, "We don't think that's necessary."
Hearing their firm answer, Mr. Yu immediately put away his smile and roared, "You're going to break off the engagement just because you say so?"
"The engagement between the two families was witnessed! Now that Lu Qi is with Mo Chen, it's considered disloyal to their relationship..."
"Lu Qi must have cheated on our son with Mo Chen!"
"Yu Yang is a victim in this relationship. You have to give the Yu family an explanation! Otherwise, we'll go to the media to report it. Let's see who is the one who would be embarrassed when the matter blows up."
Mrs. Yu directly threw a tantrum. Her unreasonable attitude made Lu Qi, who was watching the scene coldly, laugh.
