Chapter 679 - 501: You Want to Sleep With Me? (Part 3)

"You mean, once the business of glass mirrors takes off, you’ll become the target of others’ envy. When that happens, many people will try to scheme against you, so you need a married status to avoid all kinds of troubles, right?"

"Yes." Su Yi nodded, "Su Yi’s reputation should have been mentioned to Mr. Lin by Yurou. It’s likely difficult for me to find a good match in this lifetime. If Mr. Lin doesn’t mind, I’m willing to serve by your side."

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Hmm, I only seek a status, not demanding anything else."

"That status is also a restriction. I, for one, don’t like my woman to have any involvement with unrelated men, even if you’re only my nominal concubine." Lin Miao underestimated this Su Yi; she’s thinking further ahead than he is.

"Of course, I only hope Mr. Lin agrees that in the future, one of my nephews or nieces can be adopted to inherit my family business."

"You want to gather a family business for the future generations of the Su Family, haven’t considered doing it for yourself?" Lin Miao was a bit surprised.

"No one’s willing to marry me, so naturally, I won’t have descendants. To live a splendid life this way is enough." Su Yi replied.

"Alright, if that’s your thinking, I think I can agree to that." Lin Miao admired Su Yi for having such a broad life perspective; the reputation of being Li Jing’s talented woman is truly deserved.

"Thank you..."

"However, I’m only eighteen, and you’re thirty. This looks more like an old cow eating young grass, even though we may not have such a relationship, in the eyes of outsiders, you are my concubine, which makes you my woman. Also, despite your reputation as a talented woman, you also have another not-so-good reputation, of being a jinx to husbands, am I right, Miss Su?" Lin Miao decided to tease this woman; she’s quite interesting and talented.

As for the ’jinx to husbands,’ he didn’t believe in it. Even if it were true, it’s just that no one capable of suppressing it has appeared yet.

"This..." Su Yi’s face turned embarrassed.

"Don’t worry, age doesn’t matter to me. If I like someone older, I can accept that, but if it’s only nominal, I’d be taking a big loss."

"Mr. Lin, I’m only seeking a status and don’t have any untoward intentions towards you?" Su Yi suddenly breathed rapidly; indeed, at first, her motives were somewhat impure, and even now, she still had some fantasies.

After all, she’s also a woman, and to never experience the joy of being a woman and live like this for her entire life, she felt a bit unwilling.

But for such things, it needs to be with someone she likes, at least someone she finds agreeable and not distasteful.

So, even though she navigated the upper-class circles of the capital with rumors of being a ’jinx to husbands,’ she didn’t indulge herself indiscriminately.

"Really have no intention?"

A woman at twenty might not think much, but a woman at thirty, even with a prominent status, won’t find it hard to marry, but finding a suitable partner is difficult.

Men, as a species, always prefer young ones. That’s sleek! Of course, women are the same, little fresh meat is more energetic!

"Mr. Lin, please don’t joke with me."

"Shouldn’t you change how you address me to husband?" Lin Miao looked at her smilingly; this woman is thirty years old, surely she’d never been in love, otherwise she wouldn’t be caught off guard now when negotiating.

Actually, women over a certain age are the best; this reasoning can only be understood through experience.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many who like married women or young mothers.

Lin Miao, with a soul that added up to nearly sixty years, understood this.

"Ah?" Su Yi was caught off guard by the question.

"Just teasing you, Miss Su, whenever you’re ready, you can change how you address me." Lin Miao said with a smile, "But you’ll need to personally explain it to Mr. Su."

Su Yi’s face suddenly turned red upon hearing this, and she inadvertently breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yurou, let’s go." Lin Miao didn’t stay any longer, called to Lien Yurou, and left.

...

On the way back.

"Yurou, do you have anything you’d like to ask, go ahead?"

"No, sir."

"Don’t say ’no.’ I saw the ’questions’ written all over your face, as if I couldn’t tell?" Lin Miao chuckled.

"Sir, Su Yi has mentioned this to me before, I didn’t know how to tell you, so..."

"You’re afraid I’d find out and blame you?" Lin Miao realized that Lien Yurou was afraid he’d blame her for not informing him sooner.

"I didn’t want you to misunderstand..."

"It’s fine. Being fancied by Li Jing’s foremost talented woman proves that I have charm and value. Besides, these things require mutual agreement. If I’m not willing, she can’t do anything." Lin Miao laughed, "At least, from now on, this Su Yi seems sensible, not making any excessive demands."

"Sir, isn’t this demand excessive?"

"Haha, whether it’s excessive or not depends on the person. To me, those so-called ’jinx to husbands’ legends don’t bother me, it’s just rumors or someone jealous setting her up." Lin Miao laughed heartily, this ’talented woman’ reputation is truly not small, and women tend to have small minds, jealousy spurred on, and then rumors arise.

"Will you be together with Su Yi?"

"That depends on her performance. If she truly impresses me, it’s fine to solidify the relationship. If she’s not qualified, then she could only be considered a business partner." Lin Miao replied, "Of course, it also depends on whether she’s willing; I don’t like forcing others."
