Chapter 8: Let's Get Married
It was a ridiculous sentence.
Jing Yao instantly understood. She suddenly looked up at Liang Xun, her clear eyes filled with shock.
Liang Xun looked straight into her eyes and caressed her abdomen.
"This is my child."
"…" Jing Yao.
Jing Yao's mind went blank.
She sized Liang Xun up carefully.
He had a high nose and thin lips, and his eyes were deep. When he looked at her now, his expression was serious.
That night, she was drugged and was not even conscious. When she woke up the next day, she only wanted to leave, so she did not know what the man she had spent the night with looked like.
This child came unexpectedly. She could not even protect herself now and did not have the ability to support it.
But before Jing Yao could say what she was thinking, Liang Xun said straightforwardly, "Jing Yao, I'll take responsibility. Let's get married."
Jing Yao was surprised that he would say such a thing, but she was very rational and refused without thinking.
"No, there's no need. Liang Xun, I was framed that night. What happened after that was an accident. This child was also an accident. In fact, we only truly know each other today. If we get married because of this, it would be too rash. No matter who it is, it would be irresponsible."
Liang Xun lowered his eyes. He had thought that he would be rejected, but he didn't expect Jing Yao to reject him without thinking at all.
Jing Yao thought for a while and continued, "I think it's very cruel to bring a little life into this world casually, so…"
"No matter what, I hope you can consider keeping this child," Liang Xun interrupted her.
Jing Yao looked at him in confusion.
Liang Xun said what he had just organized in his mind.
"I need this child. You know my identity. I'm the only son. Such a huge family business needs someone to inherit it, and I've never been interested in any woman in my life." Although Liang Xun said that, he silently added in his heart—before I met you.
Jing Yao was shocked. What did he mean?
She had seen all kinds of things in the entertainment industry, and Jing Yao had always been very accepting, so when she heard Liang Xun's words, she was only a little shocked.
Jing Yao lowered her head. "Well, if that's the case, this child is also an illegitimate child. He has to bear the gossip of the outside world…"
"That's why I said that if we get married, the child will be born legitimately." Liang Xun looked at her and said gently.
Jing Yao's heart wavered a little. After all, it was her child. She didn't dare to bring it to this world rashly, and she certainly couldn't decide how to deal with it casually.
"It's a contract marriage. After the child is born, you have the right to call off this marriage at any time."
Liang Xun continued, "Furthermore, it's me who wants the child. After the child is born, I'll give you 200 million."
From Jing Yao's perspective, he tried his best to consider all her worries.
Jing Yao barely maintained her last bit of clarity and said, "But will your future lover mind its existence?"
Liang Xun said affirmatively, "No, I can promise you that I won't marry another woman. If you don't believe me, I can also write a guarantee for you."
Jing Yao shook her head. There was no need for that. After all, Liang Xun had just said that he was not interested in women.
"Of course I trust you. I'm talking about your future… same-sex lover."
Liang Xun was speechless and instantly admired Jing Yao's way of thinking. "I'm not interested in men either."
Jing Yao asked, "… Asexual?"
Liang Xun was speechless.
He took a deep breath and said, "I don't know about that."
"Oh." Jing Yao nodded and said with a shoo-in, "That should be it."
"…" Liang Xun.
He thought to himself, "Alright, as long as you agree to get married, I'll let you have whatever you want."
There was still a long way to go. In the future, he would have countless opportunities to prove himself.
Liang Xun set a trap for her. Afraid that something would happen if he delayed, he immediately called Zhu Sui over and asked him to help draft a prenuptial agreement.
Zhu Sui immediately understood what he was thinking after listening to his explanation.
He found an excuse to drag Liang Xun out of his office. When he was sure that Jing Yao couldn't hear him, he grabbed Liang Xun's arm.
"Hey, this is Lingling's best friend. You know how much Lingling values her best friend. Are you serious?"
Liang Xun raised his eyebrows. "Do you think I'm someone who would joke about marriage?"
Zhu Sui sized him up and said, "No."
Liang Xun said, "Then why are you wasting your breath?"
