Yuchen blinked in disbelief at the audacious words spoken by the woman before him. He had heard rumors that Wu Jia Ni was notorious for her promiscuity, often luring men into her bed and discarding them just as quickly. However, he never expected her to propose marriage to him outright.
Based on what he heard from his family, Wu Jia Ni had remained single all this time, seemingly uninterested in settling down and only seeking casual flings.
However, that woman had just offered him to be her husband?
He knew that he had a handsome face, and a well-built body, he was even confident in his ability in bed to satisfy her.
But… the woman hadn't even experienced his charms, and he had already got an offer to be her husband?
Yuchen's expression contorted with disgust. He couldn't fathom why she would make such a proposition, but he couldn't possibly entertain the idea. He refused to marry a woman like her.
"Oh! I forgot to mention, I'm not Wu Jia Ni," Elena confessed, realizing that Yuchen's repulsed reaction was entirely justified.
Who in their right mind would willingly marry that old hag?
Yuchen furrowed his brow upon hearing Elena's revelation. So this woman before him wasn't Wu Jia Ni? He had no clue what the real Wu Jia Ni looked like. All he had received was a message to meet her at the hotel restaurant, where she would be waiting for him.
He had heard that Wu Jia Ni was in her forties and notorious for her promiscuity. The description alone was enough to deter him from searching her face on the internet.
Upon entering the hotel restaurant, he spotted a lone woman sitting by the window. She exuded a mature aura that led him to assume she was Wu Jia Ni. However, as he approached, he was taken aback.
He had been informed that Wu Jia Ni was a woman in her forties, but the woman sitting there possessed a striking beauty that left him speechless that made him just sit there and introduce himself.
Well… Wu Jia Ni is a rich woman, she must be taking care of herself so it doesn't look like her age, right?
But now it turned out that this woman wasn't Wu Jia Ni at all?
"Ah, I apologize. I thought you were Wu Jia Ni," Yuchen said with a slightly blushed face from embarrassment. Not only had he misidentified her, but he had also inadvertently revealed his willingness to sell himself.
Yuchen swiftly snatched up the proposal Elena had placed on the table, ready to make a hasty exit and find the woman he had intended to meet.
However, Elena swiftly intervened, obstructing his path and leaving Yuchen bewildered.
"I am not Wu Jia Ni, but I can help you," Elena responded, a slight smirk playing at the corners of her lips.
Yuchen furrowed his brow, studying the woman who now looked down on him.
"What do you mean? Are you offering to sponsor my company?" Yuchen retorted, his tone dripping with sarcasm.
"Do you even grasp the cost involved?" he continued, his words laced with disdain.
He had tried to act polite when meeting the woman he thought was Wu Jia Ni, he had also tried to leave immediately after knowing that she was not the one he wanted to meet.
Yet, the woman looked at him with disdain?
He was acutely aware of the disgraceful act he was about to engage in, selling his body for financial support. Yet, he felt trapped, compelled to comply with his mother's desperate wishes.
Elena gritted her teeth as she observed the disdain in Yuchen's gaze. It had been a while since someone had looked at her with such contempt.
"Of course! I've seen your proposal, and it's nothing short of rubbish.With a business plan like that, you think you can impress a sponsor? " Elena retorted, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
"No wonder you finally want to approach Wu Jia Ni. Are you that confident in bed that you believe she will give you the money?" she continued, a derisive smile playing on her lips.
Admittedly, Yuchen possessed a handsome appearance. If someone were to ask Elena if she would date a man like him, she would answer absolutely.
But how dare he look down on her when he was a man who would sell his body for sponsorship money?
Ha! This man needs to be taught a lesson.
Yuchen's hand clenched tightly under the table as he felt the weight of the woman's disdainful words.
He was aware that his business plan was lackluster. He had already expressed his concerns to his father, but his father insisted that it would work and urged him to find sponsors.
"I'm in a hurry, so I'll be leaving," Yuchen said, choosing to avoid arguing with the stranger and instead search for the woman he was supposed to meet at the restaurant.
However, as he tried to retrieve his proposal, Elena intercepted and withdrew it, catching him off guard
"I told you I would sponsor you," Elena stated firmly, clutching the proposal tightly in her hand.
Despite not knowing the man standing before her, Elena couldn't deny his attractive appearance. His personality might be a bit lacking because he looked at her with disdain, not to mention he was prepared to sell his body for money.
However, that doesn't matter at all. She could provide him with the financial support he sought, and in return, he can help her deal with the problems she is currently facing.
Wedding!
She knew that as long as she didn't get married, her parents would continue to pester her about it., but… she no longer believed in finding love after what happened back then.
She had given up.
She would never want to get married!
"Give me the proposal!" Yuchen snapped, growing impatient with the woman's demeanor.
Just as he reached for the proposal, Elena swiftly pushed his hand away, asserting her presence.
"I'm Nam Elena," she introduced herself, her voice laced with confidence.
Yuchen's surprise was evident upon hearing her name.
"Look at him! Speechless from the shock of hearing my name!" Elena thought to herself, a smug smile forming on her face.
She placed the proposal she had been holding onto the table, fixing Yuchen with a defiant gaze.
"So, what's your choice? Will you accept me as your sponsor, or go running back to that old granny? If you pick up this proposal and walk away, we can pretend this conversation never happened," Elena stated confidently.
That man would definitely sit here to plead and beg for guidance on what to do next
However, Elena's eyes immediately widened as Yuchen's hand moved forward and took the business proposal that was on the table.
