The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 954 - 953: How Many More Alters Does His Wife Have?

Chapter 954: Chapter 953: How Many More Alters Does His Wife Have?

Among everyone present, only Mo Nie, the straight-shooter, could say something like this.

Mo Si and Mo Fan didn’t have time to cover his mouth and could only quickly take several steps away from him after he finished speaking.

Lu Mian blinked and stared blankly at Mo Nie.

Xiao Qimo, on the other hand, took the chance to help Lu Mian up, firmly supporting her waist—he wouldn’t let her kneel anymore!

His protectiveness as a husband hadn’t diminished one bit.

His face darkened as he glared at Mo Nie, faintly blaming him for doubting Lu Mian.

Mo Nie didn’t understand Xiao Qimo’s expression and thought he had received his master’s approval. He directly handed over the thick intention letter with both hands.

"Master Mo, take a look. This is the intention letter sent by Ya Qiao. I received it early this morning."

Xiao Qimo took the intention letter, casually flipped through two pages, and paused noticeably for several seconds at the transaction amount.

5201314.

From a business perspective, this number obviously indicated he had scored a great deal.

But having it appear during his proposal ceremony made it glaringly out of place.

Xiao Qimo’s face grew even darker. Beneath his gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes remained calm and unreadable, leaving people clueless about what he was thinking.

Mo Nie glanced at Lu Mian with a tone of negotiation and asked, "Miss Lu, you must have a good relationship with Ya Qiao. Could you maybe talk to him and ask him to lower the price a bit? How about 5 million?"

He thought if he could lower the amount to 5 million, it wouldn’t count as provocation, and surely Master Mo would be pleased.

Xiao Jianli and the others didn’t quite understand what they were discussing, but they grasped two points.

First, the legendary stock market prodigy Ya Qiao had a close relationship with Lu Mian.

Second, the bouquet of flowers Lu Mian was holding contained the property rights to a vast stretch of real estate in the Jinjing commercial center!

Ye Jinwen, Yun Sang, and Xiao Jianli were baffled by the situation.

Only Zero understood.

But she didn’t rush to explain and instead watched Lu Mian with amused interest, living up to her character of enjoying the drama.

Lu Mian tilted her head slightly and thrust the bouquet into Xiao Qimo’s arms, giving off an air of mandatory acceptance.

With a faintly teasing smile, she glanced at Mo Nie, shaking her head. "Sorry, not a penny more, not a penny less."

"Miss Lu, if you can persuade Ya Qiao to transfer such significant property to Master Mo, a few tens of thousands shouldn’t be a big deal, right?"

Even now, he still assumed Lu Mian had secretly contacted Ya Qiao to make the transfer possible.

Lu Mian’s warm smile shifted to Xiao Qimo instead. One arm casually draped over the man’s shoulder, and she naturally leaned against him. Her other hand gently tugged at his tie with a bit of force, pulling him closer to her.

The girl raised her elegant eyebrows with a hint of mischief, but her voice was soft and tender. "We haven’t finished the previous step in the ceremony yet."

Xiao Qimo froze.

Under the tie’s pull, his body leaned forward slightly.

He was now only ten centimeters away from Lu Mian’s exquisite face.

The refined man awkwardly coughed, only to hear the girl’s alluring voice lightly whisper, "From heaven to earth, across the universe and the vast expanse of time—Director Qimo, are you willing to explore the wonders of the world with me?"

Xiao Qimo was shocked to his core.

For the first time in his life, he experienced such a profound emotional impact.

From heaven to earth, across the universe and the vast expanse—Professor Lu, am I willing to explore the wonders of the world with you?

I absolutely am!

Throwing all reservations aside about who was proposing to whom, he nodded emphatically.

No hesitation. Not even a second later.

Lu Mian let out a long breath, her brows curving into a smile. She tugged Xiao Qimo’s tie and placed a feather-like kiss on his cheek.

"Director Qimo, 5201314—are you paying?" The girl tilted her head, waiting for his response.

Xiao Qimo touched the spot where Lu Mian had kissed him. It felt warm and flushed, carrying an indescribable sweetness and contentment. Without thinking, he nodded, despite the lingering confusion in his heart.

"I’ll pay—whatever the amount."

Lu Mian’s smile grew, radiant and brilliant.

Everyone: ...What kind of chaotic storyline is this!

Just who exactly is proposing to whom today?

Lu Mian stuffed the thick intention letter, along with the bouquet, into the man’s arms, explaining, "Director Qimo, all of this is yours now. By accepting my things, you must marry me."

Xiao Qimo: ...

The man held the stack of documents, papers, and cards, feeling as though they weighed a thousand pounds.

While filming, Xiao Jianli asked in bewilderment, "Mianmian, what’s going on? You and Ya Qiao..."

Lu Mian smirked lightly. "I’ve already explained to Director Qimo—there’s absolutely no reason for him to be jealous of Ya Qiao and me."

Mo Si: ...That’s not enough to make him jealous?

With Master Mo’s possessive and jealous nature, he’d probably built ten or eight vinegar factories in his mind by now.

Before Mo Si could finish complaining on Xiao Qimo’s behalf, they heard the girl’s calm, composed voice speaking lightly.

"Because I am Ya Qiao."

Because I am Ya Qiao.

This sentence echoed repeatedly in everyone’s minds.

Until they finally processed it.

!!!

!!!

Everyone present, except Zero, adopted synchronized expressions of shock, their mouths hanging open as they stared at Lu Mian.

Some showed disbelief, some confusion, and some outright incredulity.

Xiao Qimo felt his head buzzing and his lips moved slightly. "You—you’re Ya Qiao?"

Lu Mian nodded obediently. "Director Qimo, I know it’s a lot to take in, but I did promise to explain everything to you. He’s me, and I’m him."

There’s nothing ambiguous.

No messy deals or relationships.

The truth was as simple as that.

Xiao Qimo wavered slightly, maintaining composure through sheer effort, and forced himself to nod.

He had indeed hoped Lu Mian would clarify things, but he never expected this outcome.

It was certainly a relationship that wouldn’t make him jealous, yet...

Can someone tell him just how many hidden identities his wife has?

He once feared Lu Mian might be intimidated by his identity as Weilan’s founder, but it turned out that today, the one being intimidated was him!

Even more unbelievable was the fact that Ya Qiao had ousted him from the number one spot on this year’s Forbes Rich List!

No matter how much he calculated, he could never predict the kind of surprises his wife had in store for him...

He suddenly recalled many small details, such as how Ya Qiao had intervened during the Shen Family stock collapse, or how the MM Ji Restaurant’s new store location was Ya Qiao’s real estate.

Not to mention Mo Lei once mentioned that Ya Qiao had been quietly targeting the Watson Consortium...

As the pieces began to connect in his mind, Xiao Qimo believed Lu Mian’s words wholeheartedly.

"So this is the surprise you prepared for me..."
