Chapter 6

The next morning, I woke up with an aching waist.

Ethan reached out to help me sit up, handing me a glass of milk.

"I made noodles, I don't know if they suit your taste. Try them later and tell me what you like to eat, I'll cook for you."

I stared at him blankly, asking: "Why?"

"Why what? Girls should be pampered and loved."

This kind of treatment was something I had never experienced in the previous eight years.

Ethan handed me a bowl of soup and said: "I heard Lucas wants to give that actress a dream wedding. Have you considered getting married?"

"I don't understand what you mean."

"Let's get married." Ethan said directly.

"Why?" I asked, puzzled.

"Because I think you're suitable, and we have good chemistry."

I couldn't help but twitch the corners of my mouth, "Forget it, I don't want to jump out of one pit only to fall into another deeper one."

I rejected him outright, "Let's just consider last night as mutually beneficial, Mr. Lu. You don't need to take it to heart."

Ethan reached out to stop me,

"I heard your mother isn't in good health, she's always hoped for you to settle down. Do you have a more suitable marriage candidate than me?

"In terms of looks, family background, and ability, how am I inferior to Lucas?"

I looked up at him seriously. He wasn't wrong.

Ethan was a thousand, no, ten thousand times better than Lucas.

Six months ago, I had personally planned the opening ceremony for Ethan's branch company, and at that time I had seen his detailed profile.

A diamond bachelor who had never had any scandals and was extremely capable.

Moreover, he had hit my weak spot. A few days ago, my mother was diagnosed with late-stage breast cancer, and her greatest wish was to see me married with children.

Half an hour later, Ethan and I walked out of the civil affairs bureau.

Looking at the marriage certificate in my hand, I still felt a bit dazed.

"Let's go," I said.

"Where to?"

"To earn money for baby formula."

Ethan dropped me off at the company entrance, patting the top of my head, "I'll pick you up after work tonight."
