Xu Cheng couldn’t believe her ears. Did Eric just ask her to be his wife?
“What did you just say? You want me to be your wife?” Xu Cheng blushed, her heart thumping wildly.
Eric looked at Xu Cheng with heart eyes. “That’s right, my wife. Once everything’s settled, let’s get married.”
Xu Cheng was confused. Before making her way to the cafe, she was still wondering why Eric hadn’t contacted her at all, and if whether or not something went wrong.
But here he was, suddenly asking to get married to her. It all happened too quickly, making Xu Cheng feel at a loss as for what to do.
“What’s wrong?” Eric cupped Xu Cheng’s face gently. “You seem to be in a daze.”
Xu Cheng felt like she was dreaming. “You really want us to get married?”
“Of course,” Eric replied without a moment of hesitation.
If everything were to go as planned, that would mean that Xu Cheng would be Lina’s successor, and LAYNA would be Xu Cheng’s in the future. As Xu Cheng’s husband, he would naturally be able to gain control of the company. Once he had full control over the company, he would have no need for Xu Cheng and Huang Ying anymore and could just cast them aside.
Despite harboring evil thoughts, Eric appeared to be someone deeply in love. Xu Cheng felt overwhelmed.
It was the first time she had fallen in love, and this could very well her last time in her lifetime.
Xu Cheng snuggled up to Eric. “Whatever you say goes.”
At this point, it seems like Xu Cheng had already taken up a submissive persona. Even if Eric had sold her off, she would’ve helped him calculate his earnings.
Although Huang Ying and Eric had also reached a consensus, she still hadn’t lost touch of her sense of reason, which was worrying for Eric.
“But wouldn’t her identification card allow us to check if Xu Cheng was older than Ling Tianya?” Huang Ying felt that if Eric’s boss was able to lead such a large enterprise, she surely would be a smart woman. So, why wouldn’t she find ways to check on Xu Cheng’s background?
“Besides, if your boss wanted a DNA test, wouldn’t that expose Xu Cheng’s true ident.i.ty?”
Eric chuckled. “It seems that Ms. Huang sure is meticulous. But, just as you said, Lina would surely ask Xu Cheng to go for a DNA test. But, she wouldn’t have the time to deal with such measly matters. At the very most, she would give me a strand of Xu Cheng’s hair and ask me to go ahead with the test. Since I’ll be in charge, don’t you agree that I’ll be the one that will be able to manipulate things around in the DNA test?
“However, just in case, I would advise you to drop by the Ruan Family to look for Ling Tianya’s hair. That could serve as our backup plan. Should the DNA test reveal that Xu Cheng and Lina are biologically related, then your concerns, Ms. Huang, would be no big issue. You can think of an excuse to fool Lina. As for what excuse to use, you should come up with it yourself.”
Eric was straightforward, and now, Huang Ying fully understood his intentions. With that, she no longer felt fear, but instead was now eager to execute this plan they had.
“Cheng Cheng, it’ll be inconvenient for me to drop by the Ruan Family now. Drop by when you have the chance, and see if you can get your hands on Ling Tianya’s hair.” Huang Ying’s glinted insidiously. “Anyways, the t.i.tle of the successor is yours for sure!”
Xu Cheng had always dreamed of being the sort of woman Lina and Ling Tianya were. Now that she was given such a golden opportunity, how could she give it up?
“Got it, Mother.”
“Very well!” Eric chuckled with glee. “Then let’s hope that we’ll be able to fulfill what we set out to achieve soon. But for now, what’s urgent is for us to call Lina back. She’s currently with Ling Tianya.”
