Lin Li thought that the intersection between them was nothing greater than that, and they might nonetheless reside their very own lives sooner or later. However she was a bit of stunned that at some point she would encounter a middle-aged girl with an excellent temperament on the door of the corporate after she obtained off work. 

The girl seemed very type, she took Lin Li by her hand and stated that she needed to speak to her. Simply when Lin Li was nonetheless a bit of confused, Zhou Han whereas holding the briefcase had got here out of the corporate, and referred to as the woman “mom”, after which he winked at Lin Li to sign her to not speak extra.

In the long run, due to the problem of discovering a job, Lin Li simply went alongside and ate collectively with out figuring out why. Throughout this era, Zhou Han’s mom held her palms and stated loads of issues. However from Zhou Han’s dialog with the outdated woman, Lin Li also can vaguely hear that Zhou Han appears to have a foul relationship together with his father. 

The 2 father and son appear to have not been in touch for a number of years, and through the years, Zhou mom had been feeling uncomfortable being in between her personal husband and son.

And on the third day after that bizarre dinner, when Lin Li was introducing the home to a shopper (she was working as a Gross sales at Zhou Han’s firm on the time), she obtained a name from Zhou Han. He needed to ask Lin Li to dinner and waited for her on the restaurant that day after get off work.

When Lin Li entered the eating sales space, even earlier than she had the time to drink some water, Zhou Han had immediately handed over a doc and motioned her to open it. She thought it was one thing associated to work. However after studying it, she realized that it was a prenuptial settlement. And actually, it was not really a prenuptial settlement, it was extra like a contract. The article of the transaction was not the home, however a wedding.

Lin Li was surprised whereas holding onto the file, and he or she did not perceive what he meant.

Zhou Han did not beat across the bush, and he went straight to the purpose and stated that he needed to have a “marriage contract” together with her. It was the form of that ridiculous setup that Lin Li all the time noticed on TV dramas earlier than, ‘Partner Contract’!

Lin Li was puzzled, and much more, she couldn’t settle for it, she requested him why?

Zhou Han did not say a lot, simply requested her to fastidiously assessment the contract, after which contemplate whether or not to agree or disagree, and much more so, she may simply deal with this as a job provide.

Lin Li felt fully inexplicable on the time, though she would by no means love once more due to Cheng Xiang’s affairs, however she by no means thought that she would use her personal marriage as a commerce. So on the spot, she immediately pushed again the contract in her hand to specific her place.

Zhou Han seemed on the folder on the desk. He was silent for some time, earlier than he pushed the folder immediately in entrance of her once more. He checked out her and requested her to consider it first, and to not reply to him in a rush. He requested her to consider it fastidiously after which give him a solution. In fact if she nonetheless didn’t settle for it, then he actually wouldn’t drive it.

The environment of the dinner that day was not too stiff, but it surely was not very harmonious. 

Lin Li thought he would say one thing to her, at the least to influence her to agree, however no. The 2 barely stated a phrase throughout all the meal. When Zhou Han got here out of the restaurant after consuming, at the least he politely provided to ship her residence. He did not say something on the street. He waited till she alighted from the automotive after which instructed her once more to significantly contemplate it.

If not for receiving a name from residence the subsequent day, Lin Li would possibly probably not give it some thought.

She may hear her mother and father’ fear about her in the course of the name, and on account of her father’s sickness just lately, now her household owed some huge cash to the kinfolk and neighbors. Now, even a few of them had been in pressing want of them to payback the cash as a result of one thing occurred at residence. 

They requested her mother and father to pay some portion first. Though her mother and father didn’t need to disturb her, however there was actually no different method, so that they needed to ask Lin Li if she may discover somebody to assist.

After hanging up the cellphone, Lin Li picked up the contract once more. This time, she actually learn fastidiously, all the things was only a cooperative relationship. This marriage was actually a enterprise contract for each of them. The phrases within the contract had been very clear and cheap. It did not make folks really feel biased, the 2 would simply be a easy cooperative relationship, and there’s no distinction in standing.

When she got here to Zhou Han with the contract once more, he didn’t really feel stunned. As well as, apart from agreeing to the phrases, she had additionally requested him to lend her some cash earlier than getting married. He additionally made a request, hoping that she can be liable for selecting up his son from college. In fact, he allowed her to knock off work forward of time.

Lin Li did not really feel his request was an excessive amount of, so the 2 immediately signed the contract underneath the witness of the lawyer, after which each of them went on to the Civil Affairs Bureau the morning after.

The automotive slowly stopped due to the visitors lights in entrance, after which she recovered from the earlier reminiscences. Lin Li could not assist however feeling a bit of loopy. 

On the time, she felt that An Ran’s flash marriage was a bit of unacceptable; she would not even thought that such a factor would ever occur to her. However when it actually occurred to herself, she felt a bit of helpless.

Lin Li seemed up from the rearview mirror. She needed to see what the little man was doing. The little man wasn’t taking part in together with his Transformers. As a substitute, he turned his head and seemed exterior. His eyes had been fastened and there was an expression that matches his age — a glance of craving.

Lin Li was curious, she adopted his gaze and noticed that there was a KFC throughout the street. At this second, a mom who had simply picked up her baby from college additionally led the kid and opened the door. The kid gave the impression to be youthful than Xiao Bin, and seemed so completely satisfied now working and leaping round.

Lin Li glanced, her lips had been half-curved. She turned her head to have a look at the little man and stated, “Xiaobin, Auntie will take you to eat KFC, okay?”

Listening to that, the little brat turned his head and checked out her, a gleam of sunshine flashed in his eyes, taking a look at Lin Li with a glance of expectation.
