?Chapter 764:


    Silver Fox held Bu’s gaze, hoping for a disy of understanding and forgiveness. Instead, he looked at her with a slight smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes. “Being friends with you wouldn’t interest me. I’m not exactly short on friends,” he said coolly.


    Confused, Silver Fox furrowed her brow. “But didn’t you say you wanted to be friends the other day?”


    “You also imed you were a lesbian that day, didn’t you?” Bu retorted. “If you can lie, why can’t I change my mind?”


    Silver Fox was at a loss for words. Marissa had told her that while they discussed ns outside the car, Bu, though semi-conscious and bound in the car, had overheard everything. It was clear he knew Silver Fox wasn’t actually a lesbian.


    After a heavy silence, she asked, her voice tinged with despair, “So what are you nning to do, Mr. Hoffman? You aren’t considering putting me in jail, are you? We are like family. Can’t you just cut me some ck?”


    “Like family?” Bu raised an eyebrow, amusement flickering in his expression. “That’s news to me.”


    Frustrated but persistent, Silver Fox countered, “Yes, we are. Xander and I have both trained at the Doomsday Base, making us practically brother and sister. And you’re a close friend of ck Snake’s husband, so I’m like your family, right?”


    Bu’s amusement was brief, his gaze turning icy as he replied, “Saying something like that gets you nowhere.”


    Losing her patience, Silver Fox pressed, “Then what do you want?”


    Bu paused for a moment before stating firmly, “I think we should consider ck Snake’s suggestion.”


    “What suggestion?” Silver Fox asked, her brow furrowed in confusion.


    “Think back to what you discussed outside the carst night,” Bu prompted. “Had I not been incapacitated at that time, I would have told you it was a decent proposal.”


    Silver Fox racked her brain, and when she recalled ck Snake’s oundish idea that she should have a son with Bu, her eyes widened in shock. “Bu, are you suggesting I should have a son with you?”


    “Yes,” Bu replied firmly. “If you do that, I could forgivest night’s incident. Otherwise, I can’t just let it go.”


    Silver Fox stared at him, disbelief painting her features. “Are you serious?”


    “Yes.” Bu nodded. “You want a daughter to inherit your grandmother’s wealth, right? I can agree to that. Our son can inherit the Hoffman family’s legacy, and our daughter can take over your family’s estate. It works out perfectly.”


    “But why me?” Silver Fox was baffled. “Many women would jump at the chance to bear your child. Why choose me?”


    Expecting apliment on her beauty or talents, she was taken aback by Bu’s blunt reply. “If you don’t agree, my suffering would have been for nothing.”


    Dumbfounded by his logic, Silver Fox shook her head. The thought was absurd—Bu, known for his intellect and savvy, resorting to such a rationale seemed imusible.


    As the head of the Hoffman Group, he was renowned for his intelligence, wasn’t he? It seemed inconceivable that he would propose something so irrational.


    As Silver Fox wrestled with her thoughts, a light tap on her forehead brought her back to reality. Bu was eyeing her curiously. “What’s on your mind? Aren’t you interested?” he prodded.


    Regaining herposure, Silver Fox scrutinized him thoughtfully. “It’s not out of the question. I need to choose someone to father an heir, and you could be the ideal candidate.”


    The corners of Bu’s mouth twitched slightly. Did she really see him merely as a means to an end?


    Yet, she seemed oblivious to his mixed feelings and went on, “With my sharp intellect and your striking looks, our daughter would be both intelligent and attractive. She’d be the perfect heir my grandmother would adore.”


    Silver Fox excitedly pped her hands, her enthusiasm palpable as she faced Bu. “Alright, let’s do this. Now, exin to me how we go about having babies.”
