Chapter 12 Confidentiality Agreement

• Lu Tingchen didn't want to continue discussing this topic any further. "Grandma, let me handle my own emotions. Could you please go back first?"
• The concerned grandmother replied, "My dear child, I understand that you're upset, but prolonging this situation is not wise. I believe Miss Xia is a wonderful person. You should cherish her. Missing out now could mean missing out on a lifetime of happiness."
• Lu Tingchen nodded, "I understand, Grandma. Let's go, I'll accompany you downstairs."
• Upstairs.
• Xia Yanxi hurriedly returned to her room, her cheeks flushed and her heart racing.
• After calming down, she noticed a brand new set of women's clothing on the bedside table. She had been too surprised when she woke up and didn't pay attention to it.
• Xia Yanxi glanced at the label. It was the latest style from Chanel, worth at least forty to fifty thousand.
• In addition to the one million from last night, what could she use to repay him?
• The more Xia Yanxi thought about it, the more overwhelmed she felt. If all else failed, she could only write an IOU...
• When she came downstairs after changing her clothes, Lu Tingchen's grandmother had already left, and he was sitting alone on the sofa, calmly reading a financial magazine.
• Xia Yanxi felt that she should explain to him that she didn't intentionally meet his grandmother. "Um, I'm sorry about earlier. I didn't know your grandmother would come. It caused a misunderstanding. But you should have explained it to her, right?"
• Lu Tingchen replied honestly, "No."
• His grandmother had a stubborn temperament. No matter what he said, she wouldn't believe it, so he couldn't be bothered to explain anymore.
• But Xia Yanxi didn't want his reputation to be affected because of this. After all, her reputation was already tarnished. "If it's convenient, I can explain it to her in person."
• Lu Tingchen, who didn't care much, said, "No need."
• Then he pointed to the documents on the table, "Take a look at this agreement. If there are no issues, sign it."
• Agreement?
• Xia Yanxi walked up with a puzzled expression and looked down. The words "Confidentiality Agreement" instantly caught her eye.
• "Mr. Lu, I don't understand what you mean."
• "It's simple. I want you to be my partner."
• "Be your partner?" Xia Yanxi's elegant face instantly turned cold. "Mr. Lu, this joke is not funny at all."
• Xia Yanxi couldn't comprehend what kind of allure she possessed that could attract this mysterious Mr. Lu.
• Or perhaps, his idea of "being his partner" actually meant that he wanted to keep her as a mistress?
• For so many years, she had always stayed true to herself in the entertainment industry, refusing to accept any hidden rules. She aspired to stand proudly under the spotlight and achieve the glory she sought, rather than relying on one so-called sugar daddy after another.
• If Lu Tingchen had the same mindset, then he shouldn't blame her for turning her back on him!
• Facing Xia Yanxi's seemingly angry expression, Lu Tingchen calmly said, "I wasn't joking."
• Xia Yanxi furrowed her brows in confusion, "Then why me?"
• Leaning lightly against the sofa behind him, Lu Tingchen appeared like a relaxed cheetah. His magnetic and charming voice slowly resounded, "Because I have a unique medical condition that makes me allergic to all women, except for you."
• "So I took you to the hospital to have your body checked, wanting to understand what makes you so special. But the results showed that you're just as normal as anyone else. I happen to need a partner right now to help me deal with some rumors, and you are the most suitable candidate. However, all of this must remain confidential."
