Chapter 326: Chapter 326: Designing for Cousin, Not for Husband?

Mentioning Lu Xingzhou made Jiang Man’s eyelashes tremble fiercely.

Not just her, Wu Yingfan also grew tense.

"Dad, he’s a decent person, I plan to..."

Before Jiang Man could finish.

King’s gaze suddenly darkened and became incredibly sharp, his tone sharply falling. "Get a divorce."

"What?" Jiang Man thought she had heard wrong.

Word by word, King was very serious. "You two hurry up with the divorce procedures, Dad will find you someone better."

Jiang Man was at a loss for words. "Why? Dad, you haven’t even met him."

"During the time you’ve been in Beicheng, Dad hasn’t gone anywhere else, I’m staying here to be with you."

King dodged the question, not directly answering Jiang Man’s inquiry.

Jiang Man bit her lip, wanting to argue, but the words reached her lips and she swallowed them back.

It’s hard to change something Dad decides.

He was the king of the North American business empire, his word was law.

"Dad, Lu Xingzhou and I have a wedding planned in a year, there’s almost half a year left."

Jiang Man somewhat pleaded.

King stared at her unblinkingly.

It was the first time he saw this expression in his daughter’s eyes.

When she was a child, no matter how big the mistake, no matter his punishment, the little girl always had an indomitable air about her.

He wanted to make her strong, so strong that no one could ever bully her.

But now, he actually saw a pleading tone in the eyes of a strong person?

For a man, is it worth it?

"Fine, then six months."

After a long while, King finally relented.

He couldn’t bear to hurt his daughter’s heart after all.

"Dad, it’s getting late, you should rest well, I’ll visit you again tomorrow."

Jiang Man was suddenly overjoyed and stood up, ready to leave.

"Tomorrow is your birthday, I’ve booked Sunset Villa, bring your friends over to have fun."

Pausing, King’s gaze darkened. "Bring that kid Lu Xingzhou as well."

"Okay," Jiang Man nodded.

Seeing this, Wu Yingfan quickly pulled Shaye and left.

The trio only breathed heavily after leaving the hotel and sitting in the car.

"Sis Man, I really didn’t dare to breathe just now, afraid of getting involved and punished by Uncle Jin."

"Why are you afraid of him? Your dad’s got your back, he won’t punish you."

"That’s true, but Uncle Jin just gives off that untouchable vibe," Wu Yingfan shrugged: "All plans are disrupted."

"Cancel the tickets," Jiang Man fastened her seatbelt and glanced at the back seat.

"Shaye, be seated, we’re setting off soon."

"Okay," the little girl in a Lolita dress said sweetly.

Jiang Man lowered her voice, "When do you plan to send her back?"

"She said she’d stay in Beicheng for a month, later I will take her around."

"Alright."

...

By the time they returned to Rong Mansion, it was nearly midnight.

When Jiang Man jumped down from the big G, she looked up and saw the light still on in the second-floor bedroom.

Walking into the villa and up the stairs, she went straight to the door and knocked.

"It’s unlocked."

Lu Xingzhou’s warm voice came from inside.

He had specifically left the door unlocked for Jiang Man.

Jiang Man pushed the door and entered, to see the man in a robe, leaning on the couch reading a book.

"Tomorrow I’m not going to New York, I’ll spend this birthday here."

"Oh?" Lu Xingzhou was surprised.

"My dad came to Beicheng, he said he wants to meet you tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingzhou suddenly became nervous.

He had been a dominant figure in the business world, what dignitary hadn’t he met?

Even when he spoke at Harvard and was hosted by the president of the M country.

Meeting with the president, he was unflustered, not nervous at all.

But meeting his father-in-law, that nervousness came inexplicably and was uncontrollable.

"So suddenly? I’m not prepared."

Lu Xingzhou put down the book in his hand and suddenly stood up.

"We’re not prepared at this end either."

"No rush, Dad just wants to meet you for now."

Jiang Man smiled with a hook of her lips.

Lu Xingzhou was outstanding, and she felt that Dad would definitely change his mind after meeting him.

"Come, help me pick out an outfit."

Lu Xingzhou took Jiang Man’s hand and led her to the walk-in closet.

Jiang Man teased, "It’s late at night. Can’t we pick it tomorrow morning?"

"No, the first impression with your father-in-law needs to be good," Lu Xingzhou said, rummaging through the wardrobe on his own.

"Jiang Man, why don’t you design an outfit for me?"

"Huh?" Jiang Man almost dropped her jaw in surprise.

Lu Xingzhou appeared somewhat jealous, "You design for your cousin, but not for your husband?"

"You’re jealous about this?" Jiang Man leaned against the door frame, relaxed and unhurried.

Lu Xingzhou was serious, "Yes."

"Alright, I’ll make one for you later."

"Then for next year’s birthday gift, I’m placing an order in advance," Lu Xingzhou turned around, already holding a suit.

"How about this one?"

"You look good in anything," Jiang Man said lightly.

She was telling the truth.

Lu Xingzhou was like a walking mannequin, slim in clothes, muscular without, excellently managed physique, topped with stunning features. Handsome enough to be the dream of countless girls.

She was actually quite particular about looks; while an interesting soul was important, if someone wasn’t physically her type, then sorry, love couldn’t grow over time.

"Jiang Man, be serious."

Lu Xingzhou was somewhat anxious.

He really cared about meeting her father.

"I am serious,"

Jiang Man stepped forward, "You look good in suits, any one of them would do. If you want to be safe, then go with this black one; it’s versatile for any occasion."

Lu Xingzhou glanced at the black suit hanging in the wardrobe, "I’ll take your advice."

Jiang Man went to the glass cabinet and picked out a tie for him.

"Match it with this tie."

She then moved to the watch section, opened a drawer, "Wear this watch."

She got serious, just like a wife preparing her husband’s outfit.

"And this brooch should work."

She took out all the accessories and placed them in the center of the glass cabinet.

"Don’t be too nervous; my dad doesn’t bite."

"But what if I want to bite?"

Lu Xingzhou looked at the girl’s graceful figure.

The lighting in the walk-in closet was rather dim, using spotlights.

The circle of light fell on her face, adding a touch of soft beauty to her youthful features.

Unlike her usual cool demeanor, she looked more coy now, radiating the vivacious spirit of a young girl.

"Here?"

Jiang Man was pressed against the wardrobe.

Through the full-length mirror, she could see their intimately close postures, quite suggestive.

"Yes, here tonight, okay?"

His voice was a bit hoarse, thick with passion and desire.

"Let me take a shower first."

"I don’t mind."

With that, he lowered his head and kissed her.

Jiang Man’s glance still lingered on the mirror as she reached out to reciprocate, loosening the belt of his bathrobe.

...

Meanwhile, at Villa 12,

Shaye held up her binoculars, saw the lit room of the neighboring villa, and couldn’t help exclaiming, "Brother Fan, come and see, it’s thrilling!"

"Ever heard of adult-only content?"

"In our country, I could be married by now."

"That’s someone else’s privacy, what you’re doing is an invasion of privacy."

"Oh?" Shaye blinked her big eyes, "This telescope wasn’t set up by you? It seems to me you are the one spying on others!"

Wu Yingfan rolled his eyes and pushed her aside, "Move over, let me take a look."

Once his eye was to the telescope, he immediately muttered, "They’ve drawn the curtains now; it’s all your fault, dawdling and wasting time."

"Brother Fan, is being married fun? What if I just marry you? That seems fun, like what Sis Jiang does," the young girl said innocently, obviously eager to experience the intimate acts that seemed quite appealing.
