The Terms and Conditions

"I need you to help me fight off a rumor about me being gay, so you will become my pretend girlfriend," Lu Yi Feng said.

"Gay...? So, is my assumption correct? You are gay?" Feng Xiao Qing blurted out what she was thinking about and almost choked on her own saliva. Does she have a death wish? Why couldn't she filter her own mouth before talking?! He's the big boss! How could she offend him? She really wanted to slap her own forehead.

Lu Yi Feng's gaze was piercing her and it made her whole body sweating in fear. "Kidding... Boss... Kidding..." Feng Xiao Qing laughed stiffly.

"I will clarify to you once again. I.AM.NOT.GAY! If you say I'm gay once more, then I will kick you out of this company right now," Lu Yi Feng clenched his teeth in anger while talking. Why did she keep mentioning that he was gay?! Why did she have this kind of conclusion?

Feng Xiao Qing quickly clamped her mouth and she made a gesture that she would really zip her mouth. After that, she answered Lu Yi Feng with a face full of sincerity, "I believe you, Boss! I'm just teasing you... Tee-hee~"

Lu Yi Feng looked at her, feeling unconvinced that she truly believed him. Well... she would understand when they interacted a lot later. Time will tell... But he decided to tell her the reason why the gay rumor was circulating, "It's Lu Ming Cheng's work, so you should know better. I know that you have a grudge to him and that's why I choose you as my girlfriend's candidate."

"Oooo..." Feng Xiao Qing understood his reasoning and Lu Ming Cheng alone was good enough reason to make her help Lu Yi Feng.

"Do you agree or not?" Lu Yi Feng asked when she didn't say anything.

"Boss... I need to know the terms and conditions first! I also want us to have boundaries and privacy," Feng Xiao Qing said softly. Even though she would definitely agree, she wanted to know the contract terms first.

"So... you don't trust me, huh?" Lu Yi Feng looked at her in a threating manner.

Feng Xiao Qing wanted to throw back his words that trust should be earned, but she didn't dare. Feng Xiao Qing swallowed her saliva and gulped, but she still managed to answer him, "Trust... trust... of course, I'm trusting you, Boss."

"Good!"

"Boss... tell me more about this pretend-girlfriend thing!" Feng Xiao Qing still persisted.

"Just be my pretend girlfriend! However... whatever happened between us during that time and whatever things you notice or find out about me, you have to keep it as a secret and never divulge it to anyone else! We will make a confidentiality contract," Lu Yi Feng gave her his terms.

Feng Xiao Qing nodded because she fully agreed about this condition. After all, he's a big boss and Lu Yi Feng is popular with his habit to keep his private life a secret. For her, it didn't matter. Her only secret is Xiao Xi Xi and as long as Lu Ming Cheng doesn't find out about her, it's fine.

"Boss... what's the benefit for me?" This was the question that she wanted to ask. After all, she had nothing and she really needed Lu Yi Feng's help.

"I will give a place to live. I will arrange Lin San to let you live in the company's dorm along with Xiao Xi Xi, but you have to be ready whenever I call you to make an appearance."

Feng Xiao Qing wasn't a greedy person and this arrangement was good enough for her. Before she could thank him, Lu Yi Feng gave her another offer, "I will also buy you new apparels and daily necessities for a starter. Not only you but also for Xiao Xi Xi. It seems like you lose everything, right?"

Feng Xiao Qing embarrassedly nodded. She didn't think that far. She really just wanted a place to live for now. What Lu Yi Feng said was true. The only things that she had left were the clothes that they wore and the little money that she brought in her bag.

Zi Hao just listened to them when they made the deal and found that interaction very interesting. Zi Hao never saw Lu Yi Feng talk to woman comfortably like this. He had a hunch that something interesting would happen when they were pretending to be in a relationship. He should probably prepare a bowl of popcorn and enjoyed the show while eating.
