“What are you trying to say?” Lu Yunxiao looked at Bai Bing's carefully disguised face with a calm expression.

“I just…” Bai Bing felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him like that. Her cheeks were slightly red. The words that she had wanted to say in her mind could not be said for a moment.

“The elders of our families haven't seen each other for a long time. Now that you suddenly brought your parents to visit, you definitely don't just want to visit my father. What else do you want to do?”

“Do you think we came here for some purpose?” Bai Bing was really a little sad.

Lu Yunxiao looked down at the time on his watch. “I have other things to do. If you have something to say, just say it.”

Seeing how impatient he was, Bai Bing gritted her teeth and made up her mind. After all, such an opportunity was too rare. If she did not say something now, she might not have another chance in the future. “Lu Yunxiao, what do you think of me?” She was so nervous that she didn't dare to look at the man opposite her.

Lu Yunxiao glanced at her from head to toe and asked, “You want to marry into the Lu family?”

Bai Bing was afraid that he would misunderstand her, so she hurriedly explained, “No, you misunderstood. I don't want to climb up the social ladder of your Lu family and be the wife of the richest man. Although my family isn't as big as yours, it's enough for me to live without worry for the rest of my life. I just… like you.

“Lu Yunxiao, I've liked you since I was young. Don't you have any feelings for me?” Bai Bing said as the tip of her nose uncontrollably turned sour. It was as if the grievances that she had accumulated for many years were like a flood that drowned her entire body. She had liked him since she was young and had liked him until now. It was impossible for him not to feel it. He must know.

“Yes, I know.” Lu Yunxiao didn't deny it. Bai Bing had surrounded him since he was young. When she was with him, no matter if it was her words or actions, they were unnatural. If he still couldn't tell what she was thinking, it only proved that he was blind.

“So, what did I do to make you feel that I'm not worthy of you? Is it because my job isn't good enough, or my appearance isn't eye-catching enough, or is it because I don't meet your family's criteria for choosing a daughter-in-law?”

Bai Bing knew very well that her many years of relationship was just a one-man show. Lu Yunxiao had never responded in the past, and he would not respond in the future. If Lu Yunxiao liked her at all, the two of them would have been together long ago. He wouldn't still be single at this age.

Lu Yunxiao had never had a girlfriend, not even someone he liked. His love history was blank. Bai Bing was the same. All these years, she had rejected all the people around her who were trying to woo her, so that she could wait for Lu Yunxiao to turn around and look at her one day.

“You don't have to belittle yourself. You're very good. What you said isn't something I value.”

“Then why—”

“If you want to use the relationship between your parents to pressure me, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed. I won't listen to my father's arrangements for marriage.”

“You think too complicated of me. I have no intention of using someone else to pressure you. I just want to meet you. You know, if I really want to rely on my parents to pressure you, given the friendship between our mothers…”

“Let's end it here.” Lu Yunxiao frowned slightly. He was unwilling to mention the past at all.

“Let me be blunt. I won't be a good partner or a qualified husband. I won't be able to give you the love you want. If you want to talk about love, I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible. If you just want a decent husband and a life, I can give it to you. Similarly, what I need isn't a lover, but a partner who can work together for a long time.”

“I… I'm willing.” Bai Bing thought that she had finally moved him.

Unexpectedly, in the next second, Lu Yunxiao's eyes darkened. He looked at the woman and said word by word, “If you win against Jiang Youyi, I can marry you.”

“What?” Bai Bing thought that she had heard wrongly, so she repeated in disbelief.

“Think about it and make a decision, but remember to be careful. Don't regret your decision. I'll give you one last piece of advice. The end of this path is most likely not the life you want. Think carefully.”

Lu Yunxiao had always been a man of few words. He couldn't be bothered to use a long speech to express his intentions. There were some things that had to be said. Whether he could understand them depended on himself.

Bai Bing was still rooted to the ground when Lu Yunxiao disappeared from the backyard. She really did not understand. Actually, she had already been mentally prepared before coming to the Lu Family.

Either she would be rejected without hesitation, which was Lu Yunxiao's usual style of doing things, or he would choose after weighing the pros and cons. This was her only chance of winning.

But no matter what, she did not expect such an answer..
