"Marriage? Isn't that just sleeping for one night? How did it come to marriage."

Lu Tianxing found himself at a bustling intersection, staring across at an elegant café under the scorching sun, nearly kicking himself with regret.

What era is this? Sleeping for one night requires responsibility? Not agreeing leads to forced marriage? And having a lawyer block my home?

Under normal circumstances, such a woman should be severely taught a lesson, to let her know her place in the world.

Lu Tianxing wiped off some sweat, casually bought a bottle of mineral water from a vending machine, guzzled more than half in one go, and then took a long breath, walking leisurely into the café with a carefree face, his gaze sweeping the place, which was very quiet with only a few people. A woman was already sitting at the appointed spot.

Seeing only her back, her slender figure, coupled with a white OL suit, convinced Lu Tianxing, a man with extensive experience with women, that she must be an exceptional beauty, not just an "assassin" when seen from behind.

Next to this woman stood a middle-aged woman dressed in a lawyer's attire, respectfully standing still beside her, without a trace of impatience.

"Interesting!"

Lu Tianxing gave a slight smile, and without greeting, sat down opposite the woman. He unapologetically took the only cup of coffee on the table and took a sip, laughing, "The coffee tastes good. However, I suggest you switch to tea; coffee isn't very good for your health."

Almost instinctively, Bai Zhiqing's brows furrowed, her expression openly displaying a hint of disgust.

Especially as the smell of cigarettes mixed with sweat reached her, it made her frown even more, a frosty layer covering her pretty face.

Bai Zhiqing, holding back her disgust, glanced at her ladies' watch, and coldly said, "We agreed on nine o'clock. It's already half-past nine; you're half an hour late."

Bai Zhiqing was very angry, deeply despising Lu Tianxing. If it were possible, she would have left immediately. Remembering the night before last, having shared a bed with the man before her and losing the treasure she had cherished for twenty-five years, Bai Zhiqing wished she could slice him into a thousand pieces, tearing him limb from limb.

In Modu, just mentioning her name, Bai Zhiqing, was enough to make her known to everyone. Countless men considered her their dream goddess.

Yet such a well-known goddess was taken advantage of by some unknown bumpkin, and this man even had the audacity to sit there, late, wearing a proud expression, leisurely sipping his coffee with no hint of regret.

Seeing this, Bai Zhiqing's face turned as ugly as if she had swallowed a fly, yet she could not just walk away, waiting for him to offer her an explanation.

Although Lu Tianxing was leisurely drinking his coffee, his eyes were meticulously sizing up this woman with whom he had shared a fleeting night.

Beauty, she was definitely a beauty!

Dressed in a white suit, that clung tightly showcasing her S-shaped figure, her black and beautiful hair tied up high, her skin delicate and smooth as egg white, her lips full and rich like a painter's palette, her expression cold, giving off a 'do not approach' vibe, her black and clear eyes expressing a cold indifference that seemed to push people thousands of miles away, making one feel as if sitting next to her was like sitting next to a clump of ice, cool and aloof.

"This is a very cold, very assertive woman, but her figure is hot and beautiful," Lu Tianxing labeled Bai Zhiqing in his mind.

Bai Zhiqing immediately noticed his lecherous gaze circling over her, his mouth curling into a lecherous smile, as if he was examining goods.

Barely containing her anger, Bai Zhiqing finally exploded, "What are you looking at, have you never seen a beauty before?"

"I have."

Lu Tianxing answered honestly, speaking earnestly, "Now I finally understand why I couldn't resist that night. If time could reverse, I think I would do it all over again."

Bai Zhiqing's eyes instantly turned from cold ice to blazing fire, wanting to burn Lu Tianxing to ashes.

Fighting the urge to slap him across the face, Bai Zhiqing coldly asked, "What's your name?"

"Lu Tianxing!"

"How old are you this year!"

"As old as you."

"Do you know why I asked you to come here today?"

"I know, I'm too handsome, you want to marry me."

"You..."

Bai Zhiqing felt a rush of nameless anger in her chest, obviously, Lu Tianxing was merely brushing her off, especially with his last remark, making it seem like she was desperate to get married.

"Lawyer Liu, give him all the documents and the contract." Bai Zhiqing glared at Lu Tianxing, her teeth gritted.

"Yes, Chairman."

The middle-aged woman standing behind her took out the already prepared documents and contract from the file bag.

"What documents and contract?"

Lu Tianxing lit a cigarette for himself.

This action made Bai Zhiqing frown again, the dislike in her heart increasing another notch.

"The Chairman's personal data and your marriage contract."

Lawyer Liu patiently explained, "Although this marriage contract hasn't gone through the civil affairs bureau, it still has legal effect. If any party violates the terms of the agreement, they must bear the corresponding legal responsibilities and compensation. Therefore, I suggest you, Mr. Lu, take a good look."

Lu Tianxing nodded nonchalantly, indicating he understood, took the documents, and said while looking, "Seeing how pretty you are, I don't need to read this marriage contract; it's just some restrictive conditions anyway. I reluctantly agree to your proposal, as long as it doesn't limit my personal freedom."

As he spoke, he picked up Bai Zhiqing's personal information.

"Bai Zhiqing, female, so you are the famed Modu Business Goddess Bai Zhiqing. I've been back a long time and often hear your name; you are the goddess in the hearts of Modu men. It seems I've scored this time. If I had known, I wouldn't have taken the money for the hotel from your wallet."

Lu Tianxing browsed through the information, "Chairman of Bai's Group, you sure are a rich woman. It looks like my luck has turned, hanging onto a female tycoon. No wonder all your bank cards are diamond cards, Hmm, graduated with a Ph.D. from Harvard University, a female academic ace, eh? Now I understand the rumors are false, the ones saying female Ph.D.'s are humanity's strongest fighting profession, belonging to the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, the kind that can't get married; now I know that's not true."

Lu Tianxing continued to look through Bai Zhiqing's personal information while commenting, seemingly oblivious to the woman across from him whose complexion had turned ashen and who was glaring at him with eyes spitting fire.

This kid is too bold!

Lu Tianxing's comments caused Lawyer Liu, who stood by, to sweat profusely. Despite Bai Zhiqing's beautiful appearance, she was absolutely resolute and efficient in her actions. Since she took over Bai's Group, countless people had fallen at her hands. Regardless of who it was, she dealt with them without mercy.

The guy here, however, was looking and commenting as he pleased, seemingly living too recklessly, unbeknownst to the fear of Bai Zhiqing's suitors tearing him apart alive.

"By the way, why doesn't this information include other things, like your body measurements or how much is in your bank? After all, we're going to live together, and these things should be known, right?" Lu Tianxing suddenly looked up, puzzled.

"What did you say, say that again." Bai Zhiqing's teeth clacked ominously, her previously fine and delicate demeanor turning livid, she said word for word.

"Ahem..."

Seeing Lu Tianxing was about to say something else, Lawyer Liu, fearing he would further provoke Bai Zhiqing, coughed and said, "Mr. Lu, those things are not included in the contract; you'll need to explore them yourself. If you have no other questions, just sign here."

"Hmm! I think so too, I've got all the time in the world, it's no big deal. I can just measure it by hand."

Lu Tianxing's gaze discreetly swept across Bai Zhiqing's chest, then he picked up the pen on the table and casually wrote down his name in the signature column.
