Liu Xiaobao replied, "I came to find you as soon as I got back, just to talk to you about this. But it's not convenient to talk about personal matters here, and you're at work too. How about I wait downstairs for you to get off work, and then we can talk outside?"

After a slight hesitation, Wang Mingzhu agreed.

In any case, Wang Mingzhu is now a section chief, and the Foreign Trade Bureau is indeed very busy. It would be inappropriate for her to discuss personal matters in the office during working hours.

After making the appointment with Wang Mingzhu, Liu Xiaobao got up and left, going downstairs to the main entrance to wait for Wang Mingzhu to get off work in his Rolls-Royce.

However, there was still more than an hour before Wang Mingzhu's workday ended, so Liu Xiaobao closed his eyes and began to think.

Although Liu Xiaobao had already come up with a plan, when the time came, he still had to think about how best to talk to Wang Mingzhu.

At this moment, Su Jie, who was acting as the driver, spoke up from the driver's seat: "President Bao, are you going out tonight?"

Liu Xiaobao didn't open his eyes, but simply asked, "What, do you need to go out?"

"Well, it's been a few months since I last visited my master in the hospital. I'd like to go see him tonight to check on his condition."

Liu Xiaobao agreed, "Okay, then you can go tonight. I don't have anything to do here. When you go, take some money with you so your master can eat well in the hospital. And remember to give my regards to your master for me!"

"Thank you, Mr. Bao! By the way, Mr. Bao, this morning when I took Miss Guan and Miss Zhong out for breakfast, Miss Zhong asked me when you would be free to take them out for fun. I didn't answer for you, but I guess she'll contact you again tonight after you go home!"

Liu Xiaobao opened his eyes, frowned, and asked, "Miss Zhong? What about Miss Guan? Didn't she mention her?"

Su Jie shook his head: "Miss Guan didn't ask anything, but she's acting a bit strange today!"

"Something's not right? What's wrong?"

"Mr. Bao, Miss Guan has been grinning like an idiot all day, and she seemed lost in thought while eating breakfast and lunch. I wonder what good thing happened to her."

Others might not know what Guan Zhilin was laughing about, but Liu Xiaobao did, so his goodwill towards Guan Zhilin increased even more at this moment.

But he couldn't worry about Guan Zhilin for the time being; his priority was to deal with Wang Mingzhu's pressure to get married.

More than an hour later, Wang Mingzhu got off work on time. As soon as she left No. 27, she jogged towards Liu Xiaobao's car.

After Wang Mingzhu got into the car, Liu Xiaobao gave an order, and Su Jie started the car and drove towards the seaside.

Not long after, Su Jie drove to a secluded beach. Liu Xiaobao and Wang Mingzhu got out of the car, while Su Jie stayed in the car to wait.

On the way here, Liu Xiaobao didn't say much to Wang Mingzhu, and Wang Mingzhu saw Su Jie in the car but didn't ask any questions.

As they strolled along the beach at sunset, Liu Xiaobao spoke first: "Do you think Uncle and his two aunties are happy?"

Wang Mingzhu was taken aback for a moment. She didn't quite understand why Liu Xiaobao would suddenly ask about the uncle and the two aunts, but she still answered Liu Xiaobao's question: "I feel that they are quite happy!"

Liu Xiaobao smiled slightly, then asked, "Do you think the two aunties are happy?"

Wang Mingzhu thought for a moment before answering.

"Based on my many interactions with the two aunties, I think they are happy. Didn't you want to talk to me about our relationship? Why are you asking about Uncle and the two aunties?"

Why did Liu Xiaobao mention his uncle and two aunties?

He naturally wanted to use the story of his uncle and the two aunts as a starting point to talk to Wang Mingzhu about his relationship with He Chaoqiong and the others.

This was the solution Liu Xiaobao had thought of for a long time.

Because in Wang Mingzhu's experience, only the marital relationships of her uncle and the two aunts were the closest to her own.

The two aunts married the uncle before the liberation. At that time, the new marriage law had not yet been implemented, so it was legal for the uncle to marry the two aunts. Moreover, the two aunts were twin sisters.

After liberation, the country promulgated a new marriage law that only allowed monogamy. In order to treat both women equally, the uncle divorced both of his aunts. However, in reality, this was only to comply with the law. They did not separate because of the divorce and continued to live together.

To avoid gossip, Grandpa prepared two houses facing each other, so that the two aunts could each live in one house. They rarely interacted with others.

Although the uncle and his two aunts never remarried, the three of them lived a truly happy life, and a lifetime passed in the blink of an eye.

Liu Xiaobao knew the story of Uncle and the two aunties, as did Wang Mingzhu and Lingzi.

Liu Xiaobao used his uncle and two aunts as a starting point to gradually prepare Wang Mingzhu before he confronted her, so that she wouldn't be too shocked when he did.

Upon hearing Wang Mingzhu's question, Liu Xiaobao still did not offer an explanation. He simply continued, "Do you know that gambling king in Las Vegas?"

Wang Mingzhu was taken aback again, not understanding why Liu Xiaobao suddenly brought up the gambling king to her again, but she still answered truthfully.

"I know him, he's the gambling king Ho Hung-shen, a legendary figure."

"Indeed, he was a legendary figure. But did you know that he was even more of a womanizer than Uncle, and that he had four wives?"

Wang Mingzhu nodded: "I've heard of it. What exactly do you want to say?"

Liu Xiaobao felt the time was right, so he stopped, turned around, looked into Wang Mingzhu's eyes, and said sincerely.

"The gambling king had four wives, but they were all very happy, just like Uncle and his two aunts. The reason I mentioned them to you is because I want to tell you frankly that I am just like them. I also have other women. Of course, you have to believe me, I love you too. So, would you still be willing to marry me?"

Wang Mingzhu froze on the spot. Her eyes first showed a look of shock, which then turned into disappointment, and tears suddenly fell. However, she was not angry. After the disappointment, her eyes slowly became empty. It was clear that she was hit hard by Liu Xiaobao's confession.

Liu Xiaobao didn't say anything more. He had done all he could. Whether Wang Mingzhu could get over it in her heart depended on what she thought.

If Wang Mingzhu is still willing to marry Liu Xiaobao, Liu Xiaobao will naturally be happy to marry her.

If Wang Mingzhu cannot accept this situation and changes her mind, no longer willing to marry him, Liu Xiaobao will not force her. He will choose to let go as soon as possible to avoid hurting both of them too much in the end.

So Liu Xiaobao stood silently in front of Wang Mingzhu, quietly waiting for her to figure things out herself.

As for whether being rejected by Wang Mingzhu would affect the company's foreign trade business, Liu Xiaobao did not consider these things. He only wanted to resolve the relationship issues between himself and Wang Mingzhu.

Moreover, even if Wang Mingzhu could no longer accept him, thus affecting the company's foreign trade business, Liu Xiaobao wouldn't care. At most, it would just be a little troublesome to change Tianbao Group's foreign trade export business to a port with export access.

For example, cities like Guangzhou and Shenzhen, which have ports of entry, can also engage in export trade. So, strictly speaking, even if Liu Xiaobao and Wang Mingzhu cannot reach an agreement, he doesn't need to worry about his company's foreign trade business being affected.

Of course, Liu Xiaobao isn't thinking about these things right now. He just wants to deal with the relationship issues between himself and Wang Mingzhu quickly and decisively, so as not to drag it out and make things difficult for both of them.

At this moment, the two stood quietly facing each other in the sunset, time passing slowly, neither of them noticing or caring.

A minute passed.

Two minutes passed...

Ten minutes later, Wang Mingzhu's eyes slowly regained their usual sparkle.

Twenty minutes later, Wang Mingzhu finally spoke.

Wang Mingzhu was not angry about Liu Xiaobao's infidelity, nor did she curse him. Instead, she calmly asked Liu Xiaobao, "How many other women do you have?"

Now that the truth had been revealed, Liu Xiaobao no longer concealed anything and answered Wang Mingzhu truthfully.

“Three of them, and I’ve already changed my nationality and obtained legal marriage certificates with all of them!”

After hearing Liu Xiaobao's words, Wang Mingzhu fell silent again.

A minute later, Wang Mingzhu spoke again: "If I am willing to marry you, can you guarantee that you will treat me as well as Uncle treated his two aunts?"

Liu Xiaobao nodded slightly, looking directly at Wang Mingzhu without flinching, and replied with three words: "I promise!"

Wang Mingzhu fell silent again. A minute later, she took a deep breath, as if she were about to make a major decision.

As Liu Xiaobao waited anxiously, Wang Mingzhu finally gave her an answer: "Okay, I agree. You'll marry me!"

Upon hearing Wang Mingzhu's answer, Liu Xiaobao felt a huge weight lifted from his heart. He immediately picked her up excitedly and spun her around several times in the sunset.

After stopping, Liu Xiaobao looked at Wang Mingzhu affectionately, brushed aside a strand of hair that had been ruffled by the sea breeze from her mouth, and lowered his head to kiss her lips.

With their lips parted, Liu Xiaobao smiled at Wang Mingzhu, whose face was flushed with embarrassment, and said, "Thank you for your generosity and tolerance, my wife!"

Once the issue was discussed openly, Wang Mingzhu no longer felt any psychological restraint and jokingly retorted to Liu Xiaobao, "I'm not your wife yet, so don't call me that, or I might change my mind!"

Liu Xiaobao tightened his grip on Wang Mingzhu's lower back, pulling her closer to him until they were pressed tightly together, and laughed.

"Go back on your word? Since you've agreed, it's not so easy to go back on your word now. But to avoid any unforeseen complications, I still need to take you to get the marriage certificate as soon as possible. Then you won't be able to go back on your word anymore."

Although she had long harbored feelings for Liu Xiaobao, this was the first time Wang Mingzhu had been so intimate with him. At this moment, pressed close to Liu Xiaobao, she was both shy and her heart was pounding.

However, upon hearing Liu Xiaobao's words, she still gave him a reminder.

"Don't think you can marry me so easily. You'll have to get past my parents first!"

Liu Xiaobao chuckled: "Of course! I'll go to your house tomorrow to propose to your parents!"

Wang Mingzhu lowered her head shyly and patted Liu Xiaobao lightly: "I'm hungry, let's go eat!"

Liu Xiaobao smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's go eat pork ribs and rice cakes!"

After saying that, Liu Xiaobao took Wang Mingzhu's hand and turned to walk towards the roadside.

Having resolved his relationship issues with Wang Mingzhu, Liu Xiaobao returned to Tianbao Group in a cheerful mood after a simple dinner.

That evening, Su Jie went to the hospital to visit his master, while Liu Xiaobao stayed in his room.

Having been intercepted halfway through the Qilin Gathering, Liu Xiaobao is no longer so reckless. He will not go out alone again unless his safety is guaranteed.

It wasn't that Liu Xiaobao was arrogant, nor was he afraid of death; rather, he simply didn't want to encounter any accidents and wanted to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Although she knew Liu Xiaobao was in his room tonight, Guan Zhilin still didn't come to find him. It was clear that after hearing Liu Xiaobao's promise to reconsider, Guan Zhilin had truly become obedient and compliant.

However, Guan Zhilin did not come to find Liu Xiaobao, but Lingzi did.

Lingzi wasn't there to interrogate Liu Xiaobao about his relationship with Guan Zhilin and Zhong Chuhong; she was there to discuss serious matters.

Liu Xiaobao opened the door, and Lingzi entered the room without any hesitation.
