Zhou Shuyan quietly listened to Lu Youxi before smiling slightly, "You did well in persuading people."
Lu Youxi's eyes lit up, "Does that mean you agree?"
"I agree with you," Zhou Shuyan nodded, "about the point of still considering you as my wife after we return. We'll see about that when the time comes. You might really be of help to me."
Lu Youxi breathed a sigh of relief, finally showing the first genuine, relaxed smile since her arrival.
"However," Zhou Shuyan added, causing Lu Youxi's heart to leap once again, "how can you trust me so easily? Aren't you afraid that my previous life was dangerous? Like... being involved in the underworld?"
Lu Youxi: "..."
She had indeed overlooked that point.
In both her past life and this one, she had never touched any grey areas.
In business, she always operated cleanly.
But why hadn't she considered that Zhou Shuyan might belong to those grey areas?
Lu Youxi looked at Zhou Shuyan.
