Lu Jinye could clearly see Mu Zhi standing on the stage from afar and was watching her expression. It
was evident to him that the overwhelming affection from the audience perturbed Mu Zhi.

Some of them even slumped to their knees, and shouted to Mu Zhi, “Please give me a chance.” “Please,
I beg you, I truly love you.” Truly love you…
It had barely been two minutes since they had met, but this dude had the gall to proclaim that he truly
loved Mu Zhi. Lu Jinye almost burst into a fit of laughter upon hearing that.
At this moment, the host looked at everyone who was courting Mu Zhi on stage while the other female
participants were awkwardly standing at the side. Thus, he started exhorting the crowd, “We can’t be just
focusing on Miss Ann alone, let’s try to talk to the other fine-looking guests.”
The pack of thirsty men was not impressed by the remark.
Everyone glanced at the host suspiciously like one of them shot out, “Isn’t this supposed to be a match-
making show? It is my freedom to choose who I love, right?”
“Yeah, why interfere with our decisions?”
Mu Zhi remained in a daze.
Meanwhile, Lu Jinye became a little upset with how the men boldly expressed their love for Mu Zhi.
But it was clear that Mu Zhi did not choose to get on that stage. She was there to fulfill work duties.
He could see how helpless Mu Zhi was from the expression in her eyes.
On the other hand, the host was incompetent. He had succumbed to the criticism of the men and started
targeting Mu Zhi instead, and said, “Miss Ann, seeing that there’re so many gentlemen who are fond of
you, why don’t you just pick one? Pick one, so we can continue with the show.”
Mu Zhi became even more troubled.
If she had rejected every participant, she might need to send all of them away.

This was a downward spiral. On the other hand, it was also a concern if nobody was willing to come on
stage.
Mu Zhi was tearing her hair out.
While she was at a loss, a little boy’s voice suddenly arose from the crowd, “Mommy, mommy!”
He then scurried from the side and went on stage, standing next to Mu Zhi and staring at every man with
a stern face.
This was not Mu Zhi’s child. She didn’t know who he was.
But she could tell that he was a clever boy around seven years of age. He rocked a confident smile and
proclaimed to the crowd, “I didn’t expect mommy to be so attractive. My mom’s divorced, and I’m staying
by her side. If any of you marries my mommy, she’ll bring me along. This is a great buy one free one
deal. I can call you daddy too!”
The male participants had not gone through marriage. As soon as they saw the little boy, whatever
passion they had for Mu Zhi instantly diminished.
They were starting to hesitate while exchanging glances with one another.
Nobody was willing to marry a woman who had a seven-year-old with her.
One of them uttered discontentedly, “Yo, what are you doing at a match-making show with a kid?”
“Seriously?”
“This is a platform for true love. Even a divorced mother like mommy deserves love! You can’t wrong a
woman for trying to pursue love.”
The little boy spoke up cheekily in response to the men’s clamoring.
Mu Zhi sighed in relief.
“Hey, I think number three isn’t too bad as well.”
“And number one.”
With the little boy’s sudden appearance, the men on stage started expressing their interest in the other
lady participants. They wouldn’t bat another eye at Mu Zhi anymore.

The nerve-wracking match-making show finally came to an end.
Mu Zhi was significantly more relaxed towards the end.
When she got off the stage, Mu Zhi hurriedly went to look for the little boy to express her gratitude. His
wits had helped her from falling prey to what felt like a pack of hungry hyenas. “Thank you, little boy,
luckily you’re here to help me and saved me plenty of awkward moments.” She thanked the boy upon
finding him.
But to her surprise, the boy let out a confident smile and said, “Madam, I shouldn’t take the credit, it’s
that mister’s idea. He gave me a hundred.”
While speaking, he pointed to the man who was standing from afar.
When Mu Zhi’s gaze followed along, a remarkable man in the crowd caught her eyes – Lu Jinye.
Mu Zhi froze for a moment. While she thought if she should head over to thank Lu Jinye, he had started
making his way towards her.
Lu Jinye had a charming smile on his face as he said, “What’s the matter? Thinking about thanking me?”
His abrupt initiative had left Mu Zhi speechless.
Thus, she managed a simple response helplessly, “Thank you. What are you doing here?”
Lu Jinye smirked at her and said, “Just a thank you isn’t enough. Treat me to a cup of coffee.”
“…”
“How shameless could you be to ask for a reward?”
Mu Zhi thought Lu Jinye was being unreasonable.
He stared at Mu Zhi and started calculating seriously, “I gave the boy a hundred, and coffee is worth
thirty eight. You could buy a coffee for each of us, and I’ll still be losing money. Treating me coffee isn’t a
big deal. There’s a café on the top floor of this building, we can go there.”
Without waiting for Mu Zhi to agree, Lu Jinye had taken her for granted, turned around, and walked
away.
Mu Zhi was dumbfounded. Her intuition told her that Lu Jinye had a point. So, she followed him into the
building before she could work out what he had said. It wasn’t until she came to the entrance of the café
when an idea dawned on her.
She took out a hundred. “Thank you, Mr. Lu, for the gesture. This is a hundred for you.”
“Or I’ll just give you two hundred, so you’re one hundred up.”
Lu Jinye had heard her but went to make his order anyway.
Mu Zhi wavered. She was juggling between staying and leaving but ended up entering the café. She sat
across Lu Jinye and noticed that he had taken the liberty to order her coffee.
Mu Zhi thought about rebuking him, but he began, “Look at the scenery downstairs.”
Upon hearing that, Mu Zhi cast her gaze in the direction Lu Jinye was looking.
