Freya, the youngest vice director of the forensic department, failed whenever she went for the blind dates, not because she was not charming enough but because of her occupation. Bryan, the son of the billionaire in the city, saved her out of danger when she was trapped with another blind date. This incident started the gear of their fate. Signing the contract with him, she pretended to be his girlfriend who got pregnant and he even introduced her to his mother. However, the reason why she agreed with this deal was only because of a secret.
Freya Han looked at her watch from time to time. The man sitting opposite her was attentively looking at her. He had been deliberately fiddling with the designer watch on his wrist, which was decorated with diamond pieces, making her feel dizzy.
The man was Jacob Zhao, twenty-seven years old. He was a rising upstart in recent years, the young master of the Zhao Group. He was also her blind date today.
Since they sat down, Jacob had never hung up the phone. He liked to answer the phone in the way of slightly sideways. He raised his head into a forty-five degree angle and said in a loud voice, "Would the company go bankrupt without me? Didn't I say that I have something very important to do today? Don't call me if it's not a big deal. It's just a business of millions. Can't you find someone to make a decision?"
Freya could sense the strange gazes from others, some of them looked at her with disdain, while some with envy. Without letting him know, she stood up and walked towards the washroom. A hot and sexy woman rushed out from the door. The two almost bumped into each other. The woman turned around and scolded, "Hey! Watch out! Are you blind?"
Before Freya could say anything, the woman threw herself into the arms of a man sitting in the booth behind her. "Hi, my dear Bry." The voice and the tone of cursing Freya just now seemed to be a different person's. She said in a sweet voice, "I'm sorry, dear Bry. There's a traffic jam. I'm late."
The man happened to be covered by the woman's body, so Freya couldn't see his face clearly. She only saw the hand that was holding the woman's waist tightly. It was slender, clean, and well-defined. This woman looked familiar and a little like a star. Without thinking too much, Freya turned around and went into the washroom.
Bryan Jiang just smiled and looked at the woman in front of him without saying a word. Seeing this, the woman forced a flattering smile and said, "Dear Bry, why are you looking at me like this? I... Did my makeup get dirty? "
With an evil and attractive smile, Bryan stretched out a slender finger to raise her chin and said in a charming voice, "You told my mother that you were pregnant, didn't you?"
The woman took a step back, and the flattering smile on her face gradually disappeared. She fawned over him with fear, "I... I did this just to see you... Alas, dear Bry, I know you are filial. You don't know how happy auntie is when she heard the news. You are the only heir of the Jiang family. Auntie also hope that you can get married and start your own business as soon as possible. Bry, I will definitely give birth to a lot of children for you in the future. "
Bryan gently touched her face and whispered in her ear, "Do you deserve it?" He returned to his seat and said coldly, "From now on, I don't want to see you again. Do you know what to do?" His voice was charming and deep. When he stepped back, he put a check on the table.
Freya took a few deep breaths before she walked out of the washroom. Just then, she heard the woman curse in a trembling voice, as if she was trying her last bit of strength to retrieve her dignity. "Do you think you are the only man in the world? What's the big deal? " Then she took something from the table and rushed to the door. The two almost bumped into each other again.
Freya slightly turned her body and made way for the woman. When she turned her head again, she saw the man drinking coffee as if nothing had happened. His angular features were like carvings, and his eyes were deep but sharp. His movements were elegant, noble and charming, but around him, there was also a hint of coldness that made people dare not get close to him.
It was him! Bryan Jiang! She would never mistake him for someone else!
When she was in a daze, Bryan looked up at her. Then, Freya looked away from him and sat back in front of Jacob.
Freya reached out to take a sip of the water on the table. Jacob had already finished the call and explained, "Miss Han, I'm really sorry. Those people in the company are troublesome. Don't worry. They won't bother us again now."
"It's Okay. Business is business." 'Anyway, there was nothing to say between us.' For the sake of their friendship, Freya didn't say the sentence.
Jacob waved to the waiter, squinted at her and said loudly, "Open a bottle of red wine for us. The most expensive one. By the way, two steaks, I want the best kind." It was not until he finished ordering that Jacob remembered to ask for Freya's opinion.
Originally, Freya didn't intend to spend time with such a person, but when she heard the beefsteak, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows and smiled. "I think your arrangement is very good."
While waiting for the meal, Jacob fixed his eyes on Freya. Last time he just met her in a hurry, he was already attracted by her appearance. At such a close distance, he didn't expect that her skin was tight and fair, delicate and beautiful, which made him more excited.
"Miss Han, is this your first blind date?" Jacob was afraid that she might misunderstand him after asking this question, so he quickly said, "I heard from your stepmother that you are usually busy with your work and don't even have time to date. I think we are destined to be together. Your stepmother is my mother's classmate and they are on good terms. If you marry into my family in the future, my mother will treat you like her own daughter. "
The corners of Freya's mouth twitched slightly, but she didn't make a sound.
"Miss Han, I heard that it's very difficult to find a lover for forensic experts, especially for women, right? After all, few men can tolerate their wives touching the dead bodies during the day, and touching themselves at night, right? "
Just then, the steak was served. Seeing that there was less than ten minutes left, Freya skillfully picked up the knife and fork and began to eat. Jacob was a little embarrassed and was about to eat. After talking for a long time, she did not answer him at all.
After hesitating for a while, Jacob asked, "What do you think of the taste of the steak here?"
When Freya raised her head and looked at him, she narrowed her eyes and smiled, which fascinated Jacob. "Among all the food I eat, my favorite is steak. Mr. Zhao, you know me!"
Jacob had thought that he would be happy to receive the praise, but he didn't expect that what Freya said next would make him turn pale with fright. "I'm used to cutting corpses, so I'm more skillful at cutting steak. I won't waste too much time on eating."
"Haha," a chuckle came from the next table. Hearing this, Freya turned her head to take a look. She wondered who was laughing.
Bryan was about to leave, but was attracted by the conversation between the two people. Freya Han? He was very familiar with this name. Her name had appeared on the news these two days. 'The youngest vice director of the forensic department had helped the police solve a lot of big cases.'
"Miss Han..." Jacob had no appetite at all. He took a big sip of water and said, "You should know the conditions of our family. We don't lack money at all, so you don't need to work so hard in the future. As long as you resign, we will get married immediately."
Hearing this, Freya put down the knife and fork, wiped her mouth with a tissue, looked at him seriously and said, "Mr. Zhao, I think what you just said is very reasonable. How could a normal man tolerate such a pair of hands, right? I understand you very well and sympathize with you. So with good deeds, Mr. Zhao, let's call it a day. Oh, by the way, please help me clarify to my family that I came here today, but you and I were not meant to be together. " She took out a few hundred yuan and put them on the table. "I've checked the price list. It should be enough to cover the bill. I'll pay for it myself. Bye!"

We'll only have sex once a month, and that's solely to produce an heir. You won't interfere in my business, and I won't interfere in yours.
