Chapter 10: Go take a shower first.

Twenty minutes later.

The two finished their meal and walked out of the restaurant.

"Where is your home?" Zheng Qian asked.

Jin Lu was stunned for a moment again: "Do you really want to go?"

Do you really want to go?

What does that mean?

Was she just teasing him earlier?

Zheng Qian had already prepared himself for a sleepless night, so it was just a joke?

If she didn't intend to let him go, why order so many kidney-strengthening dishes?

"Aren't you afraid that I'll harvest your kidneys while you're asleep?"

Zheng Qian was actually a little afraid.

"I'm teasing you. It's so late, I definitely have to take you back."

"Otherwise... wouldn't that be irresponsible of me?"

Jin Lu raised an eyebrow at him.

Zheng Qian simply couldn't handle Jin Lu flirting like this.

Her enchanting gaze was practically trying to snatch Zheng Qian's soul away.

But Jin Lu's Favorability toward him remained at 10 points.

"Let's go."

Sitting in the back seat, Zheng Qian, emboldened by the alcohol, wrapped his arms around Jin Lu's waist.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?"

"I drank a bit too much, I'm carsick."

"This is an electric scooter."

"I get dizzy on electric scooters too."

Zheng Qian replied shamelessly.

It had to be said, the feel of Jin Lu's waist was really quite nice.

"You can hold me, but don't touch me, okay!"

"I'm ticklish."

A dozen minutes later, the two arrived at the Jiangshan International villa complex.

"You live here?" Zheng Qian was somewhat surprised. The villa he had mentioned buying earlier was exactly one in Jiangshan International.

The housing prices here could be considered top-tier in Yebai. There was a sizable professional team that regularly maintained and organized the Jiangshan villa complex, and that expense alone was quite costly.

"Yeah, I'm renting it." Jin Lu replied.

The two entered one of the villas.

Just after entering the door, Jin Lu took off her high heels, her pair of fair, jade-like feet stepping barefoot onto the wooden floor.

"Why do you live here? Is there any need for one person to live in such a big house?"

Zheng Qian felt that a one-bedroom apartment was perfectly sufficient for one person. Such a big house was a complete waste; think of how much money could be saved just on rent alone.

"Do you want to know?"

Jin Lu walked over, stood in front of Zheng Qian, and looked up at him.

Zheng Qian wasn't tall, just a bit over 1.7 meters. With her heels off, Jin Lu was only 1.65 meters. She walked up to Zheng Qian and looked up at him.

Jin Lu suddenly grabbed Zheng Qian's arms and, with a sudden burst of strength, slammed him against the wall. Zheng Qian's entire back hit the wall with a dull thud.

Her scorching red lips slowly moved closer to Zheng Qian.

There was only a few centimeters of distance between their nose tips.

"What are you doing?" Zheng Qian couldn't help but ask. Not knowing if he had an M-attribute, he actually quite liked the feeling of being pushed around by a goddess.

"You..."

"Do you want to buy a house?"

???

Zheng Qian was completely dumbfounded.

He had originally thought that coming to Jin Lu's place would lead to some wonderful story unfolding tonight.

She comes up and asks him if he wants to buy a house?

So besides her job at the bar, Jin Lu was also a real estate agent!

Is she that desperate for money?

Jin Lu moved away from Zheng Qian, walked to the switch, turned on all the lights in the room, and introduced it to him: "This house was built in 1998, with north-south exposure, plenty of natural light, the first-floor suite faces north, and the second-floor suite faces south."

"The attic has a skylight, the basement is moisture-proof, the flooring is three thousand per unit, the floor tiles are nine hundred per unit, there are four bathrooms, and a pair of storage rooms."

Jin Lu even emphasized the word "pair."

"As for landscaping, it's professionally maintained, with a fifty-ping vegetable garden, a one-hundred-ping large lawn, greenery visible when you open the windows, and nature to walk in when you open the door. It's near the mountains and water; it's absolutely the king of properties."

?

Are you reciting poetry here?

"If you buy it, I will marry you."

At this moment, Zheng Qian clearly saw that when Jin Lu finished saying that last sentence, her Favorability toward him shot up to 80.

So, the last sentence was the main point.

If he bought the house, she would marry him?

"How many people have you brought here?" Zheng Qian asked.

Jin Lu looked into Zheng Qian's eyes and answered sincerely: "Only you."

From her gaze, tone, and the subtle expressions on her face, he could tell.

She was definitely not lying.

If this statement were false, Jin Lu could easily win every Oscar Best Actress award until her hands went soft.

"Why me?" Zheng Qian asked again.

"Because you look relatively honest, don't have any hidden agendas, and aren't a bad person, which is why I dared to bring you home at night."

"Of course, it's also because you are relatively wealthy."

He has no hidden agendas, and it was that easy to see?

Why are honest people always seen through at a glance? Is the word [Honest Person] written on Zheng Qian's face in permanent marker?

"To tell you the truth, this used to be my home. My dad got involved in some bad habits, lost all the family assets, and was sentenced to twenty years. Before he went in, he warned me repeatedly that this house was left for me, that he didn't care about spending the rest of his life in prison, but that I wasn't allowed to sell this house, otherwise he wouldn't acknowledge me as his daughter anymore."

"Although my dad is in prison, his external debts were all loan sharks, with interest rolling over and over. It would be impossible to pay them off in a lifetime, so I took it upon myself to sell the house and pay off those debts for him."

"Now my dad is getting out in two months. After he gets out, he will definitely want to live in this house, so I temporarily rented it."

"I've saved about three million over these years, but it's still far from enough to buy this house."

"In two months, I definitely won't be able to earn that much money, which is why I thought of asking you to buy this villa."

After Jin Lu finished speaking, a rare trace of faint sorrow flashed through her originally proud and confident beautiful eyes.

"How much?"

"Twenty-three million."

"You pay twenty million, I pay three million, and we put both of our names on the deed."

"If you buy it, I will marry you."

This sentence was also true.

Jin Lu really intended to marry Zheng Qian, otherwise her Favorability could not have risen from the 10 points it had always maintained to 80 points.

"I need to ask you a few questions first."

"Go ahead."

"Have you had any one-night stands?"

"No."

"Any marital history?"

"No."

"Is your body clean?"

"You can rest assured about that. Although I work at a bar, I have always kept myself clean. These years I've been busy earning money and haven't had time to talk about romance, let alone find a partner."

Her words revealed a certain amount of helplessness.

If it weren't for this house, she might have chosen to pursue a master's degree and continue to improve her abilities.

Having reached this point, she had no other choice.

Zheng Qian watched Jin Lu answer his questions, her expression remaining calm throughout.

He felt that Jin Lu was not lying.

If it were someone else, Zheng Qian would have questioned it more or less, but with Jin Lu, he couldn't bring himself to question it at all.

[System Alert: Host Zheng Qian has encountered the true love of his life. Are you willing to take Jin Lu as your wife?]

[If the host is willing, you will receive a 30 million love fund, and the system will automatically unbind.]

???

This is true love already?

Damn it, he and Jin Lu have only known each other for two hours!

Could this be the legendary love at first sight?

[Refuse.]

Zheng Qian refused internally.

If he married Jin Lu, the love fund compensated by the system would be just enough to buy this house.

But the question is, what about the future?

With his monthly salary of 6,000, what could he use to give Jin Lu happiness?

"Okay, I'll buy it."

"Really?"

"Yeah, let's buy it tomorrow."

Jin Lu felt that even with herself as the condition placed before Zheng Qian, he would at least have to think it over carefully. She didn't expect him to agree so readily.

How rich must he be?

"What do you do for a living?" Jin Lu asked curiously.

"It can't see the light of day, it's not presentable."

Zheng Qian could only answer this way; he couldn't reveal the matter of the system to outsiders.

"You're still being mysterious. If you don't want to say, I won't ask."

Jin Lu smiled.

Someone as honest as Zheng Qian, who was even afraid of having his kidneys harvested, what kind of shady business could he possibly be doing?

"Then why don't you go take a shower first?"

"I'll go find you a change of clothes."
