“I can agree you.”

After making her decision, He Youran spoke directly.

“Really?” Lu Qingzhuo was very happy.

“Yes.” He Youran nodded.

Then, she felt a little troubled.

Actually, letting Lu Qingzhuo accept He Shouxin as his godson was not a foolproof plan.

The rumors had already spread, and even if they were explained in time, it would still not be the same as before. People might even say that He Shouxin was his biological son pretending to be his godson so that the He family in imperial capital would not pursue the matter.

Sigh! This was really difficult!

Why did she have to create such a difficult problem for herself in the first place!

He Youran couldn’t help but glance at Lu Qingzhuo. When she saw that he was looking straight at her, his eyes… carried a hint of tenderness that made her blush and her heart race.

No, no, no, she must have seen wrongly!

How could Lu Qingzhuo be like that to her…

He Youran turned her face away without batting an eyelid, avoiding Lu Qingzhuo’s gaze that made her flustered.

“Actually…” Lu Qingzhuo looked at her flushed face and said, “I have a better idea than keeping Shouxin as my adopted son.”

He Youran’s heart skipped a beat when she heard this.

She immediately looked at Lu Qingzhuo.

Lu Qingzhuo also looked at her.

He had a warm smile on his handsome face, and his dark eyes curved into a beautiful arc. There was a gentle glow in his eyes, making him look extremely noble and spirited. This was a look that He Youran had never seen before.

“If I accept him as my adopted son, there will still be people who would make wild guesses. Why don’t we put on a show and let him be my son for real. This way, you can avoid unnecessary rumors and harassment, and I can also stabilize the Lu family’s image outside. With an heir, no matter how bold those people are, they won’t dare to act rashly.”

After saying this, he seemed to be afraid that He Youran would refuse, so he quickly added on.

“Miss He, you can consider this as a deal. I’m willing to provide you with anything you need within the Lu family’s capabilities.”

After saying this, he even felt that he was a little despicable.

This was because he had secretly investigated He Youran many times.

So, he also knew the reason why He Youran returned to Rong city.

Her son had leukemia.

But, because of the frame-up five years ago, she couldn’t avoid the person who had harmed her. Instead, she wanted to find the person who had harmed her to treat her son’s illness.

He also knew that He Youran had no idea who the person who had harmed her was.

Compared to Lu Qingzhuo’s anxiety, He Youran was much calmer.

Since it had already happened, instead of feeling depressed and regretful, she should think about how to solve the problem.

But, before she could say anything, Lu Qingzhuo said urgently:

“I know this will put you in a difficult position. After all, my… My body…” He found it difficult to say it out loud. He was frustrated and annoyed at the same time. “I know that no matter how many promises I make, it’s just a deal between us.”

Because, he had no way of giving He Youran a future.

As a person who had lost his ability to be a man, even if he wanted to fake it and do it for real, there was nothing he could do.

And this deal was actually unfair to He Youran.

She wasn’t driven by money, and her son had no interest in business. He was basically forcing them into a battle between adults.

Lu Qingzhuo, who had everything he wanted in imperial capital, could only helplessly realize that he couldn’t find any merit that He Youran would admire him for.

“I’m willing.”

He Youran suddenly said.

She understood the meaning behind Lu Qingzhuo’s words, and she also knew that this deal might bring her great trouble.

But, when this man lowered his pride head and revealed a sense of loss that he had never shown in front of others, she suddenly had an impulse.

That was to help him.

To help him sit back on the throne and become the person in control of the situation..
