BXBX NOVEL Chapter 10
He had really decided to avoid any contact with her for the rest of his life, but now, he had no choice but to carry her on his back!
Damn woman, always tormenting him like this!
Tormenting to the point of driving him insane!
Ye Xingguang had no idea what was on Ye Junqing’s mind, but as she lay on the man’s back, her gaze inevitably fell on his handsome profile. She had to admit, the man’s looks were beyond ordinary.
In this era of internet development, it’s not hard to spot attractive people, such as movie stars, pop idols, trendy young actors… icy and aloof types, sunny and warm-hearted ones, devilishly charming types, fresh and seductive…
But if they were to stand in front of this man, wouldn’t they all pale in comparison and feel ashamed?
The charm of this man was too strong, dangerous yet powerful, proud and indifferent, exuding a unique domineering aura. Yet, he seemed to harbor endless sorrow, especially his expressive lips, always giving a sense of profound hurt.
Hmm… profound hurt?
Is she crazy? How could she think that?
This man was obviously cold and harsh. Two bodyguards were holding umbrellas for them, treating him with utmost respect, as if they were serving an emperor. But he was not moved, if they didn’t hold the umbrella properly and let the rain in, his cold gaze would make them tremble all over.
Such a man would surely be ruthless and emotionless, how could he possibly be hurt by love?
Forget it… she should stop thinking about him and focus on herself.
Ye Xingguang said, “Didn’t you have Attorney Xi come to talk to me and ask me to reject the arranged marriage? Why did you suddenly change your mind?”
“Forced by circumstance!” Ye Junqing replied tersely.
What kind of circumstances could have forced him to give up on the unique national treasure, Xia Yanyan?
“My brother is running for the presidential election, we cannot afford to give our political enemies any leverage. Or else, do you think I would accept you?” His low voice was cold, as if he were filled with gunpowder.
“So that’s the reason?”
No wonder Ye Junqing changed his mind at the last minute and rushed to the civil affairs bureau to stop her from signing the marriage papers.
“What else did you think? Did you think it was love at first sight?”
Ye Xingguang retorted, “Who would think that?”
She remained silent, but the man’s pride was affected. So, to save face, he added, “You better not be harboring any delusions about me. One year from now, I’ll pay the penalty, and then you can get lost!”
His words were annoying to hear, and Ye Xingguang retorted, “Who’s harboring delusions? Don’t flatter yourself. I am just as forced as you are. I’d love to stick to your plan!”
Her tone was just as defiant.
Even though she had agreed to his plan, the man carrying her still couldn’t shake off his anger and his rage only grew hotter, as if provoked by her words.
The next moment, his warning came crashing down, “It’s better for you not to have any fantasies. But this year, if you dare shed tears because of someone else, just try it and see!”
