Chapter 30: May I Ask If We Can Get Married?

Fu Mingxue wanted to say that it wasn’t real.

But this thing truly existed in her mind.

So—would she die if she didn’t marry him? Or would she die if she didn’t get married at all?

There was a big difference between the two.

The marriage mission on the translucent screen showed that the reward for completion would be a courtyard house in Beijing—a traditional siheyuan—which made her gasp.

Oh my god, seriously? That kind of courtyard house would be worth over a hundred million in the future!

She could never earn that much money in several lifetimes.

The temptation and the threat were both huge.

What should she do?

Mother Fu looked at her daughter, who was staring blankly at the leader, and felt a little embarrassed.

She quickly tugged at her daughter’s arm.

“Girl, the leader is talking to you! Why are you just standing there like a fool?”

Fu Mingxue swallowed hard.

Marry him, she had to!

A property worth over a hundred million—anyone who refused would be an idiot.

Besides, if she didn’t, she’d die!

She’d finally gotten a second chance at life, hadn’t even gone to college in her last life, hadn’t let her own mother enjoy any blessings—how could she just die like this?

Whether it was for the courtyard house or for her own life—her eyes were as resolute as stone.

She spoke loudly: “Comrade, I have something to say. Could we talk in private? Let’s go to my house.”

Mother Fu: …? What’s she up to?

Song Yan: …? What kind of mischief is she planning?

Qin Wenhuo: …? What does she want to say?

He looked at her deeply. “Of course. Please lead the way!”

Fu Mingxue: …?

Not even a hint of refusal? She hadn’t even figured out what to say yet.

Her feet moved faster than her brain.

She led the way.

Qin Wenhuo glanced at her slender back and followed.

Song Yan saw that Commander Qin was really going to the Fu house and wanted to follow.

But just then, Qin Wenhuo suddenly stopped and turned to Song Yan.

“Song Yan, end your leave early and return to the unit.”

Song Yan: ?

“Yes, sir.”

He didn’t follow them.

He could only watch as they entered the Fu family’s yard together. When the door closed, his heart sank to rock bottom.

——

As soon as Mother Fu closed the door, she heard her daughter say, “Mom, could you give us a moment? I have something to discuss with this comrade.”

Mother Fu: …?

She looked at her daughter, then shifted her gaze to this “Commander Qin.”

Honestly, the two of them standing together really were a perfect match—talented man, beautiful woman.

“—Alright, I’ll leave you two to talk. I’ll go cook.”

She tossed out those words and went to the small kitchen.

Of course, her ears were still perked up—

“May I ask, are you married?” Fu Mingxue got straight to the point.

Qin Wenhuo: …?

“No.”

“Do you have a girlfriend?”

“No!”

“Is there someone you like?”

“No!”

“Is there a woman you love but can’t have?”

Qin Wenhuo’s mouth twitched. What on earth was she getting at?

“No.”

“Then what do you think of me?” Fu Mingxue pointed at herself.

Qin Wenhuo’s eyes widened in shock.

Before he could answer, Fu Mingxue spoke again: “I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Fu Mingxue, unmarried, no boyfriend or crush, eighteen years old.” Who said an old cow can’t eat tender grass?

“I just got my admission letter from Beijing University. I don’t have any bad habits!”

“May I ask, can I marry you?”

She asked very politely.

But Qin Wenhuo’s pupils contracted in shock.

He had never lost his composure like this in his life.

For someone as calm and unflappable as him, this was truly a huge shock."
