Lin Xiao’s expression instantly darkened.
This was the second ti Su Qingning had brought up divorce.
To be frank, Lin Xiao knew she was speaking out of desperation. But he was not happy about it. Suppressing the displeasure in his heart, he asked, "Why?"
Su Qingning knew Lin Xiao was upset. Yet, she wiped away a tear and said, "Before, I was so naive to think that as long as I was willing to work hard and was truly committed, I could definitely take back Su Corporation. A few days ago, I was still foolishly thinking that if I could win back the corporation, I’d give you a sum of money when our marriage contract ended—enough for you to live comfortably for the rest of your life.
"But now, it seems my efforts, my so-called commitnt, are a joke. I can’t take back Su Corporation. And with Su Qingfeng being courted by a mber of a prominent family, she’ll definitely try to eliminate completely once she’s married. If we divorce now, I still have so money on hand. It’s not a lot, but it can ensure you have a future. If we wait until Su Qingfeng makes her move, you won’t get a single thing!"
As she spoke, her tears began to flow freely again. She didn’t want to cry; she truly hated it. But at that mont, she couldn’t control them. Moreover, for so reason, the mont she proposed divorce to Lin Xiao, Su Qingning felt as if her heart was being furiously stabbed with a knife. The pain was so imnse that her breathing grew difficult.
"So, you want a divorce just because you don’t want to drag down? Or, to be more precise, you want a divorce because you’re afraid I’ll suffer?" Lin Xiao said in a deep voice.
Su Qingning fell silent. But her silence was an admission.
Yes, that was indeed what she was thinking. Although their marriage had been forced upon them, Su Qingning had co to know that Lin Xiao was a good man during their ti together, and she didn’t want to drag him down.
Seeing her silence, Lin Xiao got out of the car without a word.
Seeing this, Su Qingning thought she had persuaded him. And even though this was the result she wanted, for so reason, her mood only worsened.
But just then, the passenger-side door was suddenly flung open, and Lin Xiao appeared before her.
The mont their eyes t, Su Qingning saw an unconcealable fury burning in his deep-set eyes.
Before she could react, Lin Xiao unbuckled her seatbelt and wrapped his hands around her waist. The next second, he was lifting her out of the car. Her brain short-circuited; she had no idea what he was doing.
In her confusion, Lin Xiao opened the rear car door and tossed her onto the back seat.
Just as she was righting herself, he pinned her waist with his left hand. Then his right hand ca down hard on her perky, shapely rear!
SMACK!!!
Ripples spread across the flesh, visible even through her pants.
BOOM!!!
Su Qingning’s mind went completely blank. She forgot her sorrow, forgot her tears.
"Damn it, Su Qingning! This is the second ti you’ve brought up divorce, isn’t it?" Lin Xiao’s indignant voice reached her ears. "Last ti you ntioned it, I told you I’d spank your ass if you dared to bring it up again. I’m asking you now, will you ever dare to ntion it again?"
So, that bastard spanked her again? She thought she would be angry. She *should* be angry. Yet, for so strange reason, she wasn’t. There was even an inexplicable flicker of joy in her heart. Was it because he didn’t want to divorce her? Or because her bringing it up had made him so upset?
While Su Qingning was still stunned, Lin Xiao got into the car. He hooked an arm around her slender waist and pulled her onto his lap.
BOOM!!!
Su Qingning’s devastatingly beautiful face flushed crimson.
She was mortified. Of course, she was. In her entire life, aside from the ti Zhao Qingqing had dosed her with an aphrodisiac, she had never been this intimate with a man.
Especially with his hand wrapped tightly around her waist and her soft body pressed against his chest, she could feel his potent masculine aura. It was like an aphrodisiac, assaulting her senses, throwing her thoughts into disarray and making her body flush with heat.
Su Qingning was not used to this at all, and she subconsciously began to struggle.
"Don’t move," Lin Xiao’s voice was suddenly right beside her ear.
Whether it was due to his domineering command or the hot breath that ghosted across her skin, Su Qingning shivered and inexplicably went still.
Lin Xiao held her by the waist, shifting her to face him on his lap. Then, he gently wiped away the heartbreaking tear stains from her cheeks. The simple gesture made her heart pound even more fiercely. She wanted to turn her head, to scramble off his lap.
She didn’t dare look at him. For so reason, she just couldn’t bring herself to et those deep, piercing eyes.
Lin Xiao wasn’t faring much better. Su Qingning’s intoxicating scent and her soft body were like an aphrodisiac, constantly plucking at his own control.
"Don’t move. I have sothing to tell you," Lin Xiao’s voice was incredibly deep, yet laced with a tenderness that made Su Qingning’s heart tremble once more.
What was wrong with her today? Normally, she detested this man—his roguish behavior, his shalessness, his bragging. But right now, why did she find this infuriating rogue so handso? She felt herself on the verge of drowning in the depths of his eyes.
"Qingning, I know what happened today was a huge blow to you, but we still have six months," Lin Xiao said, reassuring her.
With a downcast expression, Su Qingning said, "Su Qingkun has already made two hundred million yuan. Even with two more years, it would be useless. After all, there’s a ceiling for how much a bar can earn!"
"Don’t worry. Leave it to . I have a plan," Lin Xiao said with firm conviction.
"You? What kind of plan could you have?"
Lin Xiao smiled. "Want to know?"
Su Qingning nodded. Of course, she did. She desperately wanted to win back Su Corporation.
Lin Xiao chuckled. "Give a kiss, and I’ll tell you."
To be honest, Lin Xiao wasn’t one to misread a situation. He knew Su Qingning was on the verge of collapse and that his words would be like adding insult to injury. But he said it anyway because he wanted to distract her, to pull her out of her overwhelming sadness. Of course, that was only part of the reason. The more important part was that he really did want to kiss her.
Just as he expected, Su Qingning’s cheeks flushed with a mix of sha and anger as she landed a soft punch on his chest. "You shaless rogue, you’re infuriating! I’m in this state, and you still have the nerve to tease !"
"Then I’ll just have to kiss you," he said.
"You... you dare!" she protested coquettishly, starting to struggle again.
But in the next second, he held her tightly, as if trying to ld her into his own body. And then, amidst her flustered protests, he kissed her.
