韦杜风光 Weidu Fengguang: grinning Did you see Lutí's face when I mentioned the 100 million? Priceless! How'd you manage to stay calm?
"This will be interesting" he said smiling
smirking Interesting, huh? Well, I guess we'll see about that. I mean, a fake marriage proposal? 100 million dollars? It's like they think I'm some kind of gold digger or something.
"Oh no, not a gold digger, it's well known he is extremely rich. He just wants to be close to you."
raising an eyebrow Close to me? Well, I hope he's ready for a challenge because I don't plan on making this easy for him.
"Well, he won't have to if you play your cards right." he said as he looked at the bar.
leans in closer to VelvetShadow, lowering his voice You know what? Maybe this isn't such a bad idea after all.
"Of course it's not!" he said.
grabs VelvetShadow by the arm, leading him towards the bar Alright then, let's put a little twist on this proposal.
"Alright, lead the way." he said as he followed you.
pulls VelvetShadow into a secluded corner of the bar Listen, I have an idea.
"Alright, shoot." he said with a smile on his face.
grinning mischievously What if we turn the tables on Lutí? What if we make him the desperate one, begging to be your fake husband?
"I don't know..." he said slowly thinking about it.
leans in closer, whispering Think about it, VelvetShadow. We can play with his emotions, toy with him.
"Well, if you're up for it then fine." he said.
claps VelvetShadow on the back, excitement evident in his voice That's the spirit! Alright, let's start by making a list of our terms.
"Alright, what do you have in mind?" he asked as he took a sip of his beer.
pulls out a worn notebook and pen, scribbling down ideas Alright, first rule: no falling in love. This is strictly business. No emotional bullshit.
"Agreed." he said taking another sip of his beer.
scribbles furiously, filling the pages with more rules Second rule: no secrets. We'll make sure both parties know exactly where they stand. No hidden agendas. And third, no physical contact outside of the contract.
"That will be difficult considering we will have to act in love but that shouldn't be a problem." he said.
flips back to the first page, crossing out "no physical contact" You're right, VelvetShadow.
"So no physical contact then." he said.
taps his pen thoughtfully against his chin You know what? Maybe physical contact shouldn't be completely ruled out.
"Wait, are you suggesting sex?" he asked quietly.
waves his pen in the air dismissively Well, not necessarily. Physical contact can mean a lot of things - hand holding, hugs, maybe even a little bit of kissing.
"Oh, I see. As long as it's not sex then I'm fine with it." he said.
scribbles a final note on the page And the most important rule of all: have fun. This is our little game, VelvetShadow. Let's not take it too seriously and enjoy every moment of it.
"Agreed." he said raising his glass of beer to toast.
raises his own glass, clinking it against VelvetShadow's To the beginning of our little game! May the best liar win!
