Chapter 169: Chapter 169: Let Them Get Married

Netizen2000: Could it be that the test was too easy?

Netizen2008: Easy? Look at the other test takers scratching their heads in confusion; I guess not.

Netizen30177: I bet fifty cents that Jiang Man just scribbled anything and finished shading her answer sheet!

As soon as Jiang Man had stepped out of the examination hall, she received a message from Lu Xingzhou.

Lu Xingzhou: How did the exam go?

Jiang Man raised her eyebrows and replied with one hand typing: Not bad.

With quite some time before the next exam, she planned to head back to the dormitory for a nap.

Lu Xingzhou knew her well; if she said it went "not bad," it definitely went very well.

Lu Xingzhou: Do you need me to keep you company?

Upon seeing the message, Jiang Man smiled and immediately made a phone call.

The call was picked up almost instantly at the other end.

"Do you need me to keep you company?" Lu Xingzhou repeated the content from his earlier text.

Jiang Man cheekily curled her lips: "I’m heading back to the Girls’ Dorm. You coming?"

Lu Xingzhou, obviously embarrassed, replied, "I’ll rent a room nearby the school and make you lunch, how about that?"

Jiang Man hesitated for a moment, "Sure, sounds good."

Ten minutes later, she entered the hotel suite Lu Xingzhou had booked.

The area near the school was filled with couple-themed hotels.

Jiang Man glanced at the bathroom decor; three walls made of glass, leaving nothing hidden inside.

Wow, absolutely no privacy at all.

She walked over to the bar and found it stocked with plenty of items, among which condoms were the most abundant, varying greatly in type and style.

She casually picked up a packet, glanced at the instructions.

"Chocolate flavor?"

Tsk tsk, she was indeed ignorant.

Who knew these things came in various flavors?

Wonder if they have stinky tofu or snail noodle flavors?

Jiang Man wandered around the room and found quite a few thoughtful touches.

The bathrobes were different from those in typical hotels; the fabric was especially thin, like it could tear with one pull.

On the bed, two sets of adult novelty lingerie were boldly laid out.

A few straps holding three patches of fabric, wearing them was almost like wearing nothing at all.

Jiang Man wanted to laugh the more she looked.

Do all the hotels near the school have such boldness?

She threw those distracting items aside carelessly, threw herself onto the bed, set an alarm for the next exam, and fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.

Lu Xingzhou arrived later, walked into the room, and was also stunned by the sight.

Every item challenged his comprehension, making his old face turn red.

Walking further, he found Jiang Man asleep; on the nearby single sofa lay a set of ’pajamas.’

The ’pajamas’ were extremely simple, with only three pieces of cloth as big as a fist, and nothing more.

What are all these?

Lu Xingzhou was torn between laughter and tears.

He didn’t want to disturb Jiang Man’s sleep, tiptoed around, and turned to leave.

Jiang Man, a light sleeper, was already awake the moment the room card ’beeped.’

"Lu Xingzhou?"

She lazily spoke, opening her eyes to look at the man’s figure.

"Did I wake you up?" Lu Xingzhou turned around, his face full of apology.

Jiang Man curled her lips, propped her head with her hand, and instead of answering his question, she counterasked, "What are you trying to imply? I have an exam today, and you rent a room like this? Are you trying to disrupt my focus and make me fail my exam?"

Lu Xingzhou felt wronged: "It’s the closest hotel to the school with the best reviews, I’ve never stayed here before, I had no clue it would be like this."

"Oh." Jiang Man sat up from the bed, "No worries, coming again in the evening is just the same."

"Alright, we’ll talk more after your exam this evening."

After Lu Xingzhou had spoken, silence fell between the two.

A subtle, ambiguous atmosphere instantly enveloped them.

It was unclear how much time had passed when a loud doorbell broke the stalemate within the room.

"I’ll get the door, Zhao Huai is here with the groceries."

"Yeah." Jiang Man responded and walked over to sit in front of the sofa, taking out her cellphone to play games.

But remembering Lu Xingzhou had said he wanted to be included in her gaming sessions, she changed her mind.

She’d play games later in the evening; for now, she would browse on Zhihu.

Lu Xingzhou quickly walked to the hotel room’s door and opened it.

As expected, Zhao Huai was standing there, holding large and small bags of items.

"BOSS, I bought chicken, duck, fish, and meat, and also a lot of vegetables," Zhao Huai waited for his boss to open the door wider so he could bring the groceries in.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xingzhou opened the door just a crack, his voice cold, "Leave the stuff at the door, I don’t need you for anything else, go and rest."

"...Okay." Zhao Huai hesitated, puzzled why his BOSS wouldn’t let him enter.

Thinking it over, perhaps his BOSS didn’t want him, the third wheel, disturbing his and his lady’s private world?

After Zhao Huai left, Lu Xingzhou brought the bags inside.

Seeing this, Jiang Man asked, "Need any help?"

"No need, just wait to eat."

"Sure." Jiang Man happily agreed.

Her cooking was terrible; it was a fortune she didn’t blow up the kitchen.

So she continued browsing Zhihu.

After a while, she thought of her best friend.

She opened her contacts and walked to the French window to call JOJO.

"Sis, how are you feeling today?" Jiang Man asked, trying to keep her tone light.

JOJO hesitated, "Man, I’ve got something urgent right now, we’ll talk later."

After speaking, she hung up abruptly.

Jiang Man furrowed her brows, unsure of what her friend was up to.

At that moment, in an antique tea room,

JOJO was restless, looking at the elderly man before her.

The elderly Mr. Song personally brewed tea for her and brought the cup to her, inviting her to drink.

JOJO held the tea cup and took a sip, asking, "Sir, I’m wondering why you asked me out here?"

She asked in her shaky Chinese.

As soon as she finished speaking, Mr. Song suddenly stood up, moved in front of her, and knelt on one knee.

This action terrified JOJO.

When Mr. Song started to kneel with his other leg, JOJO quickly stood up to help him.

"Grandpa, please don’t do this, let’s just talk!"

"If you don’t agree, I won’t be able to stand up," Mr. Song said earnestly, out of options.

JOJO kept supporting him.

At that moment, the door of the private room was pushed open.

Song Xiao walked in and saw his grandfather kneeling before JOJO. He was about to get angry when the old man yelled at him.

"Unworthy descendant, kneel down! Together we beg this lady to marry into the Song Family and to have the child!"

"What???" Song Xiao could hardly believe his ears.

He could understand his grandfather wanting to keep the child,

but marrying this foreign woman was incomprehensible to him!

"Grandpa, she and I were just for one night... Ah, we have absolutely no feelings for each other!"

"Shut your mouth!" the old man roared.

"Grandpa!" Song Xiao wanted to argue logically.

But the next second, the old man clutched at his chest, moaning in pain.

Before Song Xiao and JOJO could react, he was gasping for breath and fainted.

JOJO was terrified, smacking Song Xiao, "Stop agitating your grandfather, hurry, to the hospital!"
