However, this was just a topic she thought off-hand.
In reality—as long as she could snatch her family assets that her parents built painstakingly back, she did not care what Lu Yuchen thought of her.
When she heard his question, Lu Yuchen's smile became even deeper. "That's simple. Because I need you.
"I need someone with a clean identity, someone born from an extinguished family but would not be burdened by her family; also, someone who was not too ambitious. You, just nice, fit my criteria. Besides, you're also someone that my Granny likes."
When he said this, the man suddenly moved his body close and went near her ear lobe.
Tang Xinluo immediately tensed up, and her entire face became pink; even her neck and collarbone became pink.
"You're shy just from that?" When Lu Yuchen saw that her skin turned pink so suddenly, he was surprised.
Tang Xinluo did not dare to answer; she was stuck in between the seat and his muscular body as if she was a small animal that accidentally walked into a trap.
"Don't worry. When we go back, we have a year… to slowly develop feelings."
…
Until the car reached the villa, Lu Yuchen did not do anything overboard to her.
However, his last sentence in the car was stuck in Tang Xinluo's head.
"Develop feelings…" Tang Xinluo could bet that these two words were not as simple as it seemed.
Lu Yuchen brought her to somewhere that was not the famous main Lu family's mansion at Di An Avenue.
This was an individual villa in Blue Causeway. Blue Causeway was the latest developed luxurious housing location. Tang Xinluo knew that quite a few powerful families were living in this area.
She followed Lu Yuchen into the villa, and before she could tour around her 'new house', Lu Yuchen's command came down.
"Go bathe."
He asked her to bathe once they reached home. This exactly confirmed Tang Xinluo's worry.
On the way over, she was worried if she would have that kind of encounter with Lu Yuchen at night. In the end—before the night even fell, he wanted her to shower.
Even though she was worried, uptight, and scared; she knew that this kind of thing would happen sooner or later.
Even though it was only a 'cooperative relationship' between them, he never said that he would not touch her.
After all, Lu Yuchen married her and allowed her to use his power for revenge and would even give her a large sum of alimony after divorce. From the start until the end, she was the one who benefited the most.
When she understood this point, she swallowed the words at the tip of her tongue and followed the servants up the stairs.
The two helpers, who brought her up, were cold and brought her into a luxurious guest room while warning her by the bathroom door. "This is the bathroom. We'll send you the clothes to change into after you bathe. Master Lu doesn't like to wait too long, and he also doesn't like women who are wet to stick around him so you only have one hour to wash your hair and ensure that it's blown dry."
These two helpers did not look at her straight in the eye. Even though their tone was professional, the discrimination in their eyes could not be hidden.
