Chapter 414: Chapter 414 Settled Chapter 414: Chapter 414 Settled “Fine, it doesn’t matter how Zhong Niangyao managed to escape anymore,” Li Jingming shook his head, “That’s all in the past, what could we do even if we knew. Right now, what’s most important is, how we should deal with Zhong Niangyao.”
“This—” Chu Yixue’s face showed a hint of hesitation as if she thought of sothing, but she wasn’t sure whether to speak up.
“Xue’er, if you have any ideas, then hurry up and say them!”
Seeing the look on Chu Yixue’s face, Li Jingming beca anxious, “Now we are all in the sa boat, Zhong Niangyao will absolutely not let us off. At this point, what are you still hesitating for?”
“I do have a way to deal with Zhong Niangyao.” A strange glint flashed through Chu Yixue’s eyes, “Many tis, in fact, we don’t need to make things so complicated. The simplest thods might yield the best results in the end.”
After saying these words, Chu Yixue leaned close to Li Jingming’s ear and whispered a few sentences.
As Chu Yixue finished speaking, Li Jingming’s originally serious expression loosened sowhat. Clearly, he thought the thod Chu Yixue suggested was feasible. However—
“The thod you ntioned is good, it just needs to be refined a bit more. And, we also need to find a suitable executor.”
“Such a person is easy to find.” Chu Yixue smiled, a trace of ruthlessness on her face, “In this world, there are plenty of people who would do anything for money.”
Li Jingming nodded, then changed the subject, “Xue’er, we’ve been together for quite a while now. How about we find a ti to et both parents and set a date?”
After hearing Li Jingming’s words, Chu Yixue stiffened for a mont but then quickly returned to normal, her face wearing a gentle smile, “Brother Jingming, why are you suddenly bringing this up? Didn’t we agree before? We’ll discuss our own matters after Zhong Niangyao’s issue has been dealt with.”
She hadn’t expected Li Jingming to propose at this ti. She had never intended to go through with him, just waiting to kick him to the curb after dealing with Zhong Niangyao.
The master had promised her that once Zhong Niangyao was dealt with, as a reward, she would beco the legitimate Second Lady of the Chu Family. By then, she wouldn’t need to worry about Li Jingming’s threats any longer.
Although she didn’t know how the master would achieve this, she never doubted their capabilities. After all, everything she had was given to her by the master. Moreover, the most important point was that once this mission was completed, there’d be no further contact between her and the master, and she would regain her freedom.
She was still fantasizing about the wonderful life after dealing with Zhong Niangyao when Li Jingming wanted to tie her down—how could this be possible!
“Since it has to be settled sooner or later, it’s better to do it earlier, isn’t it?” Li Jingming looked at Chu Yixue and spoke gently, “Xue’er, I really like you a lot, that’s why I hope we can get engaged sooner.”
Full of disdain in her heart, Chu Yixue’s face didn’t show it, “Brother Jingming, I also really want to get engaged with you sooner. But right now, Zhong Niangyao is a looming threat to us. As long as she is around, we can’t rest easy.”
“If this threat isn’t resolved, I really have no mind for anything else.”
“Dealing with Zhong Niangyao and setting a date for us are two separate matters, there’s no conflict between them, right?”
As Li Jingming looked at Chu Yixue, he couldn’t help but feel more doubtful, “Or is it that, from start to finish, you never intended to set things with ?”
Hearing Li Jingming’s suspicion, Chu Yixue was shocked for a mont, her face then filled with hurt as she looked at him, her eyes brimming with grievance, “Brother Jingming, how can you think of like this? If I truly didn’t like you, why would I be with you right now?”
“And, you already know my biggest secret, could I possibly run away now? You not trusting like this also makes doubt whether we are really suitable for each other.”
Suddenly, Li Jingming beca anxious and quickly apologized, “Xue’er, I didn’t an it like that. It’s just… just…”
“Just that too many things have happened these past few days, and I’m feeling insecure, afraid you might leave as well. That’s why I’m in such a rush to set things.”
“Brother Jingming, how could I ever leave you!” Chu Yixue raised her head, looking at Li Jingming with affection, “We’ve been through so much together, and finally managed to be together, it’s a blessing from heaven that I have always cherished.”
Li Jingming nodded, then reached out and pulled Chu Yixue into his arms, “Xue’er, I really like you a lot, I want to be with you always, that’s why I’m so eager.”
He did like Chu Yixue quite a bit, after all, they had been through a lot. However, the most important was her identity as the Second Lady of the Chu Family.
If he truly married Chu Yixue soday, with the help of the Chu Family, he might have a chance to return to the company. Moreover, he was also worried that Chu Yixue had been deceiving him all along, which is why he wanted to rush things.
“Let’s wait a bit longer!” Chu Yixue rested in Li Jingming’s embrace, continuing, “With Zhong Niangyao still being a danger, I really can’t focus on anything else.”
“Also, I want to wait until things are completely stable before marrying you. By that ti, the Chu Family will be our everlasting support.”
“Furthermore, I’ve only just returned to the Chu Family, and my relationship with the Chu Family isn’t deep yet. So I want to take the ti to cultivate these relationships. All relationships are built through interactions. Also, at the mont, my parents don’t wish for to settle down so soon. If we rush this now, I’m afraid they might get a bad impression of you.”
Li Jingming sighed, “Alright then, let’s leave this matter for now! I’ll listen to you, after resolving the matter with Zhong Niangyao, we’ll discuss the engagent.”
Chu Yixue’s analysis made sense. It seed they would indeed have to wait until the Zhong Niangyao matter was settled before they could discuss anything else.
And indeed, Chu Yixue was right about one thing—he knew her biggest secret. So, certainly, Chu Yixue wouldn’t dare kick him to the curb.
