The butler led the way and the maids bowed slightly to Mo Jingshen before heading back to their duties.
Once they were left alone, Chen Rui looked at Mo Jingshen who just ended his call and spoke up.
"Young Master, I don't think the old chairman would be happy with Miss Lu."
Mo Jingshen glanced at him briefly before passing him the work phone.
"They have agreed to the terms of cooperation, reach out to them for the final details."
"The old man already knows that he doesn't have a say in who I marry. That was the agreement."
Chen Rui nodded. Of course if the old man had a say, he would rather destroy the Lu family than let his son marry from a third grade rich family.
However, he still felt that Lu Wanli was going to be quite difficult to accept by the Mo family.
"I have written the main terms in the notepad, head to the study and draft a contract for both parties."
Inside the house, Lu Wanli was taking in the design and structure gently.
The interior of the house seemed weirdly perfect. It didn't feel like it was a bachelor's place and it also didn't feel like it belonged to a family.
It just felt like a home. Although the designs were mostly minimalist, they were elegant and didn't have just one color.
She had just settled on a couch when Mo Jingshen entered.
He glanced at the butler briefly who then bowed slightly and left.
Once it was the two of them, Lu Wanli spoke up.
"Mr Mo, since we had an agreement, I wasn't expecting to come here."
Mo Jingshen took off his jacket and hung it on the chair carefully before sitting beside her.
"It's exactly because we have an arrangement that you have to come here. If you went back home; then both families would have to organize the wedding and all the official ceremonies before anything else."
"But now that you are here, I will let them know that no ceremony is necessary."
Lu Wanli felt like his words sounded reasonable so she heaved a sigh in relief.
"So about tonight."
Mo Jingshen's lips curled up slightly and he found that her worried look made him want to tease her a little.
Since he mentioned the wedding night, her lips had been set in a pout that made her mouth look like a rose.
So instead of replying, he stood up and stretched his hands.
"Let's talk over the other details during dinner." he secretly wanted to see her squirm a little.
Lu Wanli frowned slightly but eventually nodded.
It was currently past 7 in the evening. She watched as he walked upstairs and then slumped back into the couch.
Once she was alone, she pulled out her phone and jotted down some events that she didn't want to forget. Some random things also crossed her mind and she wrote them down.
If her memories served her well, tomorrow was the day that Han Yifan would ask her out.
In her past life, that had been the happiest day of her life. She had chased the man since her first year of university.
When he ran for the council president, she had designed all the campaign materials and even spent money on helping students appreciate his efforts.
Yet, when she confessed her feelings, he had told her to focus on her studies first.
As he didn't reject her directly, the old her had been filled with so much hope and kept chasing him.
A day before her rebirth was when she handed him that game.
That game was the reason why Han Yifan had decided to date her and if nothing changed, he would want to do the same again.
Her lips parted into a wide smile but if anyone was around, they would have seen that her eyes were chilling cold.
If she had not given him the game yet, perhaps she would have thought about not bothering with them in this life.
But as she remembered the cold body of her daughter in her arms, Lu Wanli's fists clenched tightly and she shook her head.
'There's the debt of a life so how can I let you go so easily?'
While she was lost in her thoughts, Mo Jingshen came back downstairs, his steps were light and she didn't notice him but Mo Jingshen's brows furrowed as he sensed the change in her aura.
"Wanli."
It was just one word and his voice wasn't raised but it was enough to pull Lu Wanli from her thoughts.
She shot up to her feet and smiled at him.
"Hehe, Mr Mo, you look even better in casual clothes."
In his formal suit, he looked like a lord that was ruling over everything around him.
Now in a loose sweatshirt and gray pants, he looked more alive especially with those little bangs that were hanging above his eyes.
Mo Jingshen's eyes held a smile in them as he looked at her.
"Would you like to shower first? I have asked them to prepare some clothes for you."
Lu Wanli shook her head. "Hmm, let's eat first. I'll shower after."
Mo Jingshen nodded and led her to the dining table.
Once they sat down, several maids walked out carrying the dishes and they placed them carefully on the table while glancing over at Lu Wanli from time to time.
Both of them kept quiet until all the dishes were served and Mo Jingshen started the conversation.
"I don't have many requests, but I hope that in this period that we are together, you can be conscious of your actions."
As he talked, he started serving himself and even placed some dishes on her plate.
"For the sake of the marriage, I'd expect that you attend some family occasions. You don't have to attend any work related event if you aren't interested."
Lu Wanli nodded.
"Regarding living arrangements…"
As she heard this, Lu Wanli instinctively leaned forward.
"I understand that school and things might crop up. I would also not be home all the time as I might be out of the country but I will prefer it if you move into the apartment at Haiyun district."
Lu Wanli shook her head but Mo Jingshen continued.
"Although I won't be the next family head, my family would still pay a lot of attention to my marriage. If you aren't living with me then it becomes too obvious."
She wanted to argue but then she remembered how he won't be in the country often so she nodded eventually.
"Anytime you are around, I can stay in that apartment."
Mo Jingshen nodded then started eating.
However Lu Wanli felt that they hadn't discussed the most important thing.
"Mr Mo, there's one more thing we have yet to talk about."
Mo Jingshen's brows arched slightly and his eyes settled on her face. "Oh, what's that?"
Around Han Yifan, she was hardly ever shy. In fact, she took the initiative in many matters. But in front of this man, she found that she couldn't express herself as easily.
Instead, she felt flustered and it took a great deal of courage for her to say.
"Bedroom matters."
Mo Jingshen dropped his chopsticks and looked at her with a bit of interest and amusement.
"What do you think?"
