Chapter 941: Chapter 942: But I Don’t Like You
“I will not get engaged to you.”
A single sentence, unexpected as a heavy blow, struck Ruan Qiuting’s heart, her face suddenly pale as snow.
No woman can endure the man she admires so openly rejecting an engagent, and saying it directly to her.
Qing Che’s clear eyes, tinged with heartache, but beneath the night sky, she could see the man’s face clearly, his decisiveness and ruthlessness, piercing Ruan Qiuting’s heart deeply.
“But our parents have already decided…”
“That was their decision, not mine.” Li Yuan, with a cold expression, interrupted her again.
She knew that the man before her was not fond of her, but she always thought that over ti, feelings would develop. Yet, to her surprise, the man’s heart, like ice sealed for millennia, remained cold towards her.
“What about you? Don’t you want the inheritance rights?” Even though she knew their marriage was rely a business interest, she couldn’t help but fall in love with this man, always thinking that once married, even without love, they could at least respect each other for the rest of their lives.
His deep eyes, profound as ink. Upon hearing Ruan Qiuting’s words, Li Yuan paused montarily.
He must secure the inheritance rights, but he would not marry Ruan Qiuting.
“Of course I do.”
Ruan Qiuting was taken aback.
What did he an? If he wanted the inheritance rights, why say he wouldn’t get engaged to her?
“But if you don’t get engaged to , you won’t be able to secure the inheritance rights, you know that very well, don’t you?”
Staring at the woman before him, Li Yuan was silent for a few seconds.
After a while, he finally spoke, “Ruan Qiuting, you know that marrying
is purely for business benefit, so why agree to a marriage that offers no happiness?”
Ruan Qiuting was stunned by the question.
Why?
When you et soone you like, naturally you’re willing to beco his wife. Despite anything in between, what she wanted was to spend the rest of her life with him.
“Because I like you.”
Faced with her sudden confession, there wasn’t the slightest ripple in Li Yuan’s deep eyes, as calm as the surface of a lake.
“But I don’t like you.”
A few calm words pierced Ruan Qiuting’s heart like needles.
“Why? Just because of that—” her gaze suddenly flicked to the other side of the road behind him. Two figures approached from afar, causing Ruan Qiuting’s unfinished words to halt abruptly.
“I just don’t like you, there’s no other reason.” After speaking, Li Yuan turned to leave.
However, just as he turned around, he suddenly felt a force on his arm, gripping his sleeve tightly.
He stopped in his tracks, instinctively turning his head, only to see Ruan Qiuting suddenly grabbing him tightly, her body slowly sliding downward…
Noticing sothing wrong with her, Li Yuan furrowed his brows, “What’s wrong with you?”
“I…” her voice suddenly beca sowhat strained.
Li Yuan froze on the spot, instinctively reaching out, intending to hold her steadily slipping body, “Hey, what are you…”
“Li Yuan…” Following his outstretched hand, Ruan Qiuting suddenly grabbed his arms, her body pressed against his, her face buried in his chest.
And this scene, seen by Huo Yishan, who was walking across the road, looked like the two were embracing on the street.
“Phew… Today was really satisfying, so full! More satisfying than eating at a five-star hotel!” Anna patted her full belly as she spoke while walking forward, suddenly noticing Huo Yishan’s footsteps had stopped, causing her to stop as well.
