He Chaoqiong didn't show any joy or smugness. Instead, she asked Liu Xiaobao seriously, "You really can ask for anything I want?"
Seeing He Chaoqiong's appearance, Liu Xiaobao felt a chill run down his spine, sensing that the conditions He Chaoqiong was about to propose might not be trivial.
But for the important task entrusted to him by the old man, and to fulfill the pledge he had made, Liu Xiaobao was now going all out, prepared to be heavily exploited by He Chaoqiong.
"That's right, but only if I can do it. As long as it's within my power, I will definitely help Miss He achieve it!"
He Chaoqiong remained serious: "Although I really don't want to use conditions to blackmail you at this time, I really can't wait any longer, so I can only apologize to you, Mr. Bao, first."
"Miss He, there's no need for an apology. This is just a mutually agreeable transaction between us. Just tell me your terms!"
He Chaoqiong stared into Liu Xiaobao's eyes and said, "My condition is, Mr. Bao, I want you to marry me!"
Upon hearing He Chaoqiong's words, Liu Xiaobao spat out the red wine he had just drunk, almost spraying it all over He Chaoqiong's face.
Previously, Liu Xiaobao only thought that He Chaoqiong would take this opportunity to propose some business project cooperation to him, and then ask him to give more benefits to He Chaoqiong.
But he never expected that He Chaoqiong would make such a condition; it was completely unexpected.
After regaining his senses, Liu Xiaobao stared blankly at He Chaoqiong and asked.
"Miss He, you must be joking, right? You're already married to the Xu family's son, how could I possibly marry you?"

He Chaoqiong remained unfazed, her expression still serious.
"I am already married to Xu Jinheng, but I can also get a divorce, and Mr. Bao... I am still a virgin!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaobao was dumbfounded, filled with questions.
What's the situation?
Xu Jinheng is impotent? That shouldn't be the case, that guy is notoriously promiscuous!
And why would Pansy Ho tell me such a private matter?
This woman is really going to great lengths to marry me!
In fact, Liu Xiaobao didn't have any virginity complex. If he wanted to marry He Chaoqiong, he would marry her even if she wasn't a virgin, as long as she was well-behaved.
Similarly, if Liu Xiaobao is unwilling to marry He Chaoqiong, he will not marry her even if she is a virgin.
So after hearing He Chaoqiong's words, Liu Xiaobao felt a little confused and curious, but he was not moved by them.
"Um... Miss He, I heard that you and the Xu family's young master have been married for more than two years, right?"
Upon hearing Liu Xiaobao's words, He Chaoqiong knew that Liu Xiaobao did not believe what she had just said.
He Chaoqiong wasn't angry; instead, she calmly explained to Liu Xiaobao.
“Mr. Bao, to be honest, my marriage to Xu Jinheng was just a family-arranged marriage, only for show. There is no affection between Xu Jinheng and me. From the day we got married, we slept in separate rooms. Moreover, I spend most of my time in Las Vegas, not in Hong Kong. So unless there is a reason to meet, I can only see him a few times a year.”
Liu Xiaobao didn't interrupt, listening quietly to He Chaoqiong's story.
After explaining this, He Chaoqiong turned to look at Liu Xiaobao and continued.
“Actually, I’ve wanted to divorce him for a long time, but I’ve been waiting for an opportunity to get my dad’s approval, which is why I’ve been putting it off. But your appearance, Mr. Bao, has given me that opportunity. As long as you marry me, my dad will definitely agree to my divorce.”
Despite He Chaoqiong's eager gaze, Liu Xiaobao remained unmoved. He pressed on, asking, "Just because I'm rich? Your dad would agree?"
Upon hearing Liu Xiaobao's words, He Chaoqiong couldn't help but purse her lips slightly.
“Boss Bao, are you as rich as my dad? My dad won’t compromise or give in to anything just because you have some money. The reason I say my dad will agree is because you are far superior to Xu Jinheng, and only if you are willing to marry me can I bring up the matter of divorce with my dad!”
Although he was unhappy to hear Pansy Ho look down on him, Liu Xiaobao knew that what she said was true; his current wealth was indeed not as abundant as that of the gambling king.
However, that was secondary. Liu Xiaobao then asked He Chaoqiong, "Do you really look down on the Xu family's young master that much?"
He Chaoqiong shook her head in disappointment.
"Not only is he incompetent, but he also loves to indulge in debauchery. He's a typical good-for-nothing spendthrift. If it weren't for the foresight of his grandfather, who forbade the Xu family from using the inheritance, the Xu family would definitely have been ruined by Xu Jinheng! A man like him is really not good enough for me!"
Liu Xiaobao could tell that He Chaoqiong genuinely disliked Xu Jinheng, but he still didn't budge.
“Miss He, although I understand your situation, marriage is not a game. And to tell you the truth, I am going to marry seven wives in my life, just like Wei Xiaobao. Can a strong-willed woman like you accept that?”
Liu Xiaobao thought that by offering such a reason, he could change the mind of He Chaoqiong, a strong-willed woman.
To Liu Xiaobao's surprise, He Chaoqiong agreed almost without hesitation.
“In this world, the more capable a man is, the more loving he is, just like my dad. So as long as you, Mr. Bao, are capable and give me a title, I can accept it even if you marry seven or a hundred.”
Upon hearing He Chaoqiong's words, Liu Xiaobao was speechless.
How could he forget that the mixed-race beauty in front of him came from such a complicated family?
Since He Chaoqiong has seen her father marry several wives since she was a child, how could she care too much about men having multiple wives and concubines?
Liu Xiaobao suddenly realized he had made a mistake.
He didn't mention anything about feelings, because he understood that since it was a transaction, whether there was an emotional foundation or not was unimportant.
So after shaking his head and giving a wry smile, Liu Xiaobao only tentatively asked He Chaoqiong one last question.
"Miss He, can't we change the terms?"
He Chaoqiong did not reply; she simply looked at Liu Xiaobao quietly.
Liu Xiaobao immediately understood that He Chaoqiong only had this one condition for him, and he was really being forced into marriage this time!
"Miss He, this matter is too sudden for me. Can you give me some time to think about it and give me an answer tomorrow?"

He Chaoqiong smiled slightly: "Okay, Mr. Bao, but please don't blame me for taking advantage of your misfortune. I just want to seize an opportunity to escape from this cage!"
Liu Xiaobao nodded: "I understand, Miss He, I don't blame you!"
He Chaoqiong didn't say anything more, but gave the helmsman a hand signal, and the yacht started moving again, returning to the Repulse Bay Yacht Club.
After the yacht docked, Liu Xiaobao said goodbye to He Chaoqiong and then left with Su Jie.
Previously on the yacht, since there were no safety concerns, Su Jie hadn't paid attention to Liu Xiaobao and He Chaoqiong. He had been chatting with the helmsman about how to drive the yacht.
Therefore, Su Jie had no idea what Liu Xiaobao and He Chaoqiong had talked about.
... ..... 0
But seeing that Liu Xiaobao had a cold expression on his face ever since he got off the yacht, Su Jie couldn't help but ask after starting the car, "Mr. Bao, are you alright?"
Liu Xiaobao looked out the window and replied, "It's nothing, I just need to think about some things!"
Hearing Liu Xiaobao say that, Su Jie didn't ask any more questions and focused on driving, letting Liu Xiaobao think about his things.
However, just two minutes later, Liu Xiaobao suddenly spoke up and instructed Su Jie: "Su Jie, don't go back yet, go to Zhou Huimin's house!"
"Oh!" Su Jie didn't ask why, he just agreed, then turned the car around and headed towards the residential area where Zhou Huimin lived.
Not long after, the car stopped not far from Zhou Huimin's house.
Liu Xiaobao did not get out of the car; he simply sat inside and looked out the window at Zhou Huimin's house.
Seeing that Liu Xiaobao had been sitting there for half an hour without showing any intention of getting out of the car to knock on Zhou Huimin's door, Su Jie asked again, "Mr. Bao, we're already at Miss Zhou's doorstep, aren't you going in to see her?"
Liu Xiaobao shook his head: "I'm not going in. Besides, she might not even be home. Su Jie, why don't you go for a walk? I want to sit here for a while longer!"
Seeing Liu Xiaobao's dejected expression, Su Jie opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he hesitated and got out of the car to wander around.
Actually, Su Jie was right not to ask. Even if he had asked, he might not have gotten an answer, because even Liu Xiaobao himself didn't understand why he suddenly wanted to see Zhou Huimin at this time.
Even if we don't meet, just seeing her from afar is enough! (So unsophisticated.)

Dusk.
Liu Xiaobao didn't call Zhou Huimin; he just sat quietly in the car and waited.
He waited for more than two hours until the sun set, when he finally saw Zhou Huimin return from outside.
It was clear that Vivian Chow was driven home by her company car, because the car drove away as soon as she got out.
At just one glance, Liu Xiaobao noticed that Zhou Huimin, whom he hadn't seen for a while, looked somewhat haggard. Her eyes were vacant, and she seemed a little lost. Moreover, she appeared visibly depressed and in a bad mood.
Seeing Zhou Huimin's appearance, Liu Xiaobao immediately understood that Zhou Huimin had not yet broken through her psychological defenses and was still trapped in the words Liu Xiaobao had said to her last time.
To be honest, at this moment, Liu Xiaobao really wanted to get out of the car, hug Zhou Huimin, and cherish and protect her!
However, when he thought about how Zhou Huimin still couldn't accept that he had married seven wives born in the 1960s, Liu Xiaobao finally suppressed his impulse.
As Zhou Huimin walked into the house, Liu Xiaobao did not get out of the car.
Only after Zhou Huimin's figure disappeared from sight did Liu Xiaobao sigh softly and mutter to himself.
"Sigh! It seems that marrying seven wives is not such an easy thing after all!"
Just as Liu Xiaobao was about to call Su Jie and ask him to drive back, he suddenly noticed Zhou Huimin's figure reappearing on the balcony of her second-floor apartment.
Zhou Huimin was seen holding a mobile phone, hesitating as if she wanted to call someone. She pressed the buttons a few times and then put the phone down, never dialing. She paced back and forth on the balcony, still holding the phone, seemingly lost in thought.
Seeing this, Liu Xiaobao couldn't help but mutter, "Who is she going to call? Is she calling me?"
Just then, the cell phone next to Liu Xiaobao actually rang.
