n

n“Are you serious?”

n

n“Of course.”

n

nLu Gan nodded.

n

nSong Ci’s expression was subtle.

n

n“Senior, you saw my acting skills just now. I feel that I should never act again. I’m unworthy of the audience. You didn’t need to comfort me.”

n

nLu Gan was puzzled.

n

n“I thought that your acting skills were very good.”

n

n“So good that you fell asleep while watching it?”

n

nSong Ci felt hopeless!

n

n“…”

n

nHow should Lu Gan explain?

n

nSong Ci continued, “There’s only the two of us in this room. You don’t have to pretend.”

n

nLu Gan pressed the space between his eyebrows helplessly. He thought to himself, ‘This is a misunderstanding!’

n

nHow could he explain that him falling asleep while watching her performance was a good thing?

n

n“I didn’t rest well last night. I actually planned to take a nap before you came. That’s why I dozed off earlier. It has nothing to do with you.”

n

n“Really?”

n

nSong Ci was very doubtful.

n

nLu Gan nodded.

n

n“Why would I lie to you about something like this?”

n

nThat was also true!

n

nSong Ci’s mood instantly improved. It felt like the rain had stopped and the sun was shining again!

n

n“Let me perform for you again!”

n

nLu Gan was a little nervous.

n

n“Why don’t we discuss our marriage first?”

n

nIf he fell asleep again, then he really would have no excuse!

n

nSong Ci refused.

n

n“It’s fine. We can talk about getting married later. Let’s talk about my acting first. You didn’t see much of my performance because you fell asleep just now. So, I’ll perform again. That way, you can properly evaluate my skills.”

n

nThis made Lu Gan very nervous!

n

nSong Ci looked at his troubled expression. In a guilty tone, she said, “You were just trying to comfort me, weren’t you?”

n

n“Of course not.”

n

nLu Gan quickly denied it.

n

nHe looked at Song Ci’s doubtful gaze, but there was nothing he could do. In the end, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

n

n“Please, begin your performance!”

n

n“You won’t be hypnotized by my acting this time, right?”

n

n“Of course not!”

n

nLu Gan immediately lied.

n

nSong Ci was happy and prepared herself again.

n

nLu Gan looked at Song Ci as she started a new performance. He clenched his fists in silence. All he could do was remind himself to not fall asleep.

n

nHe stared at Song Ci’s every movement and expression without blinking, trying his best to fight away the sleepiness!

n

nFive minutes passed. Unfortunately, Lu Gan could no longer hold on. His eyelids felt heavy. Subconsciously, he looked up and saw Song Ci squinting her eyes mercilessly at him.

n

nLu Gan woke up right away!

n

n“I can explain.”

n

nHe continued, “I’m really just tired! It has absolutely nothing to do with your performance!”

n

n“Really?”

n

nSong Ci did not believe him anymore.

n

n“Let’s just talk about our marriage first. Before I leave, I’ll perform for you again.”

n

nLu Gan thought to himself, ‘What a difficult woman! Why did she have to test my willpower like this! I’m just an ordinary insomniac!’

n

nSong Ci saw that he instantly fell silent. The corners of her lips curled up. This situation was quite interesting.

n

nRegardless, Lu Gan appeared to be a good person. Even now, he insisted that it had nothing to do with her performance and protected her pride. He was completely different from the rumors.

n

nSong Ci sat on the sofa again. She took the initiative to talk first.

n

n“Alright, let’s talk about our marriage.”

n

nLu Gan was obviously more willing to entertain this topic.

n

nHe asked, “What requests do you have? I’ll try my best to satisfy them!”

n

n“I’m already very happy to be able to marry you. I have no requests.”

n

nLu Gan did not expect Song Ci to keep up with her “secret crush” act. She had no conditions and he could not help but feel a little surprised.

n

n“Have you really thought things through?”

n

n“Of course.”

n

nSong Ci said with a smile.

n

n“You’re the best. I’m already on top of the world because I get to marry you.”

n

n“Then let me tell you about my situation.”

n

nSong Ci raised her eyebrows.

n

n“Go on.”

n

n“Based on my current physical condition, I’m unable to hold a wedding ceremony. Is that alright with you?”

n

nSong Ci heaved a sigh of relief.

n

n“That’s fine.”

n

n“Also, I have to take care of a child. He’s my brother’s son. I adopted him after my brother and my sister-in-law passed away. If we get married, both of you will be living under the same roof. Can you accept this?”

n

nSong Ci smiled faintly.

n

n“What a coincidence. I also have to take care of a child. He’s my half-brother. My mother entrusted him to me before she passed away. Therefore, if we get married, you will have another child. Can you accept that?”
