Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes, sounding a little guilty as she asked, "Hubby... how did you know?"
"What do you think?"
Zhou Xing countered with a slight laugh.
Luo Qianqian practically had the question written on her forehead.
While she had always been attentive to him, it had never reached this level.
But today, she was exceptionally attentive.
She had even changed her stockings several times.
Thinking of ways to please him... "Hehe, my hubby is so smart."
Luo Qianqian didn't mind being exposed. She put down her bowl and chopsticks, sat on Zhou Xing's lap, and gave him a big kiss on the cheek.
"I do have one tiny little request."
Luo Qianqian demonstrated with her index finger and thumb, slightly embarrassed, "I went home for a few days... I originally just wanted to transfer some money to my parents."
"But a sharp-eyed relative recognized the clothes and jewelry I was wearing."
Luo Qianqian said, distressed, "That relative happened to work at a luxury store. I had no choice but to reveal you, Hubby."
"Hubby, you're not mad at me, are you?"
Luo Qianqian looked up cautiously at Zhou Xing, pouting, "If I had known, I wouldn't have worn the clothes you bought me when I went back."
"What is there to be angry about?"
Zhou Xing chuckled softly and took a sip of hawthorn juice.
Girls naturally love beauty, and once they have the clothes he bought them, it would be strange *not* to wear them.
Especially when going home this time.
Returning home rich is like walking in silk at night.
This is only human nature.
"And also..."
Luo Qianqian lowered her head even further, saying with little confidence, "I didn't reveal the nature of our relationship; I just said my boyfriend bought these clothes for me."
"Because so many relatives were there, I felt too embarrassed to say it."
Luo Qianqian's voice grew quieter and quieter: "So after my parents heard about it... they suggested meeting you to see what kind of boyfriend I have. I'm at that age now, and my parents are quite anxious about my marriage."
"Hubby, but it's okay, if you don't have time, it's fine. I'll tell my parents and then later find an excuse, saying we broke up because our relationship wasn't working out."
Luo Qianqian lifted her pale neck and smiled, "Then my parents won't ask any more questions."
Regarding the relationship between the two of them.
Luo Qianqian knew it clearly in her heart.
She was merely the canary kept by Zhou Xing, and whether the relationship could continue was entirely up to Zhou Xing alone.
As for marriage.
She wouldn't even consider it.
The gap between Zhou Xing and her was simply too immense, the kind that was untouchable.
Even the smallest things he revealed were beyond what she could ever achieve in her lifetime.
Having this opportunity.
To be Zhou Xing's canary was already the greatest honor of her life; she felt very satisfied, happy, and content right now.
"Then find a time, and we'll meet them."
Zhou Xing said this calmly.
This was no big deal for him.
It is only natural for every parent to hope that their daughter finds a suitable boyfriend.
His willingness to cooperate was nothing to fuss over.
Although Zhou Xing was a scoundrel.
He had always been openly scummy.
At the very least, as his women, Zhou Xing never treated them poorly, even if their status was merely that of a Flight Attendant.
Zhou Xing would never be a Simp.
But similarly, he would give his women equal respect.
Perhaps because of this, even though these women knew Zhou Xing had many other women around him, they were still willing and happy, relying on him even more than before.
"Hubby... you!"
Luo Qianqian was stunned.
"It's also a good way to put your parents at ease, so you can openly stay by my side."
Zhou Xing smiled and playfully tapped her nose.
Luo Qianqian's watery eyes immediately misted over, "Hubby, aren't you afraid that after this, I'll shamelessly cling to you like a plaster, impossible to shake off?"
"If you want to cling, then cling."
Zhou Xing said, "I told you all before, unless you actively choose to leave... you can stay by my side forever."
"Hubby, I truly, truly love you."
Filled with emotion, Luo Qianqian stated firmly, "I want to be your concubine for life, and I will never leave you."
"You said that yourself."
Zhou Xing smiled.
Luo Qianqian tilted her head up, looking pleased, "What's wrong with being a concubine? Ordinary people don't have the good fortune to be my hubby's concubine! My hubby is handsome, rich, and his driving skills are absolutely peerless."
"Hmph."
Luo Qianqian huffed sweetly, "Even though I'm a concubine, I live a happier life than other people's main wives. What do I have to be dissatisfied with? Not only do I want to tell the whole world I'm your concubine and make them die of envy—"
"—I also want to find other concubines for you! If you like someone later, Hubby, I'll help you snatch her over."
Zhou Xing quickly covered her mouth.
This Luo Qianqian might actually do something like that.
What would that make him?
An ancient Emperor?
A consort helping him select new concubines?
Luo Qianqian hugged Zhou Xing and whispered, "Hubby, please don't drive me away in the future. Even if you stop giving me money, I'd still be willing to be your concubine."
"Haven't I said that many times already?"
Zhou Xing smiled.
"But who knows? If you get married later, things won't be so simple. If your wife is easygoing, I might be able to stay by your side by flattering her a bit, but if she's very jealous, there might be no place for me."
As Luo Qianqian spoke, she couldn't help but worry about her future.
Zhou Xing had firmly occupied her mind and heart now.
The thought of having to leave Zhou Xing made her sad.
"What if you were the main wife?"
Zhou Xing raised an eyebrow and countered.
"How is that possible?"
Luo Qianqian shook her head, "That's completely unrealistic. Being your concubine is already pushing it. If An Ya hadn't given me an opening back then, allowing me to seize the opportunity, I wouldn't even have my current position."
It wasn't that she hadn't dreamed of it.
But regardless.
Even if she constantly deceived herself, she knew that as an ordinary Flight Attendant, there was zero possibility of marrying Zhou Xing.
In Huaxia.
Under the system of monogamy.
The main wife.
Especially given Zhou Xing's family background, the other party would definitely be of extraordinary origin.
Matching family status.
This principle holds true no matter the era.
"Why are you so sure that's impossible?"
Zhou Xing smiled slightly.
"Stop trying to cheer me up. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."
Luo Qianqian waved her hand, "Huaxia only allows one wife. How could you possibly marry me? And what about your other concubines?"
"Then why must it be in Huaxia?"
Zhou Xing said casually, "Just change countries."
This was no difficult matter for him at all.
Upon hearing this, Luo Qianqian's delicate body trembled.
Her eyes became exceptionally bright, filled with anticipation. Even though she felt it was perfectly fine to be Zhou Xing's concubine and was very satisfied with the current situation.
What girl doesn't want to wear a wedding dress and marry the person she loves?
Even if it was just a formality.
"H-H-Hubby!"
Luo Qianqian was stammering, "Are you saying... there's a possibility you might marry me in the future?"
"That depends on your performance. Who knows what the future holds?"
Zhou Xing replied ambiguously.
Luo Qianqian, however, felt an unprecedented surge of motivation: "Hubby, don't worry, I am a perfect husband-slave. I will go wherever you tell me to go, and I will definitely perform well."
"Hubby, just wait... I'll figure out a way to trick An Ya into coming over so she can accompany you with me."
Upon hearing this.
A scene couldn't help but form in his mind.
This was an enormous temptation for him.
"Is that true?"
