Lu Residence.
He enters home carrying Jing sadly and sees Jing already sprinted to his room.
He walks following him and looks at Jing poking Tang Xi's face "Mommy? Why are you lazy? Wake up!".
She surprised to see him and pulls him.She starts tickling "You told me lazy? !!".
Jing screams laughing and Lu Cheng goes away from them.He walks into his room and slams the door closed.
Tang Xi asks about Jing's first day and gets Ananya's call.
She gives phone to Jing and he left her alone and ran out talking.
She sighs and walks out of the room. She searches for Jing but bumped into someone.
She looks at Lu Cheng and controls her anger but her face couldn't help but expose it.
She sees him going asks "Did you get your inheritance?".
Lu Cheng's step froze and stood there without moving.
She walks before him and says "I know you would not have any problem now? Shall we sign in divorce papers and-?".
He turned and says "I didn't get yet!".- I don't want to claim that anyway. Its already mine.
She stood with no words and sees him approaching her. She subconsciously takes a step back but he holds her hand "I am sorry..".
She stared his face blankly and flabbergasted by his sudden apology. God!! Why am I feeling like my heart is melting?? No he hurt me!! And I shoul...Oh No!! Why is he... sad?.
She clears her throat and asks "Can I make a request?".
His mood improves and nods.
She frowns hesitating "I planned to move out before getting -".
Lu Cheng hugs her before completing her words leaving her stunned. He whispers sadly "I am sorry..I won't hur-....I am sorry to hurt you..". For some reasons he couldn't say those words.
Tang Xi feels his sadness and asks "Is everything fine? Y-you sound sad..".
He released her and asks "Can you think about .." he takes a deep breath and sees her scanning everything in his face "Can we forget about the contract marriage and...".
Tang Xi stunned and blurts "No!!". -This is insane!! I can't get trapped to him!! I can't get married!! I mean the real one!!.
Lu Cheng holds her cheeks and asks "Do you love someone?" and his heart tightened to hear her answer.
She cant!! She can't love anyone!! Other than me!
She frowns "What are you talking about!? Did you forget about our contract!?" and removes his hands from her cheeks.
He holds her wrist "Hell with that contract!! Answer me!!".
She gets angry for his dominating behavior and asks "Why should I? Because you asked me to do? Is it fun for you to control people around you!? You can't force anything on me!!".
He grits his teeth and asks "I asked you to answer..".
