Chapter 33
“What?!” She exclaimed. “$5 million? He wants $5 million? You… you agreed?”
“Whether or not I agreed is not important, rather, it’s whether or not you agree. If you’re willing to be with me, let’s not talk about $5 million, even if it’s $10 million, I’d be willing to give it to him.”
While Tang Xin Lian dazedly looked at him, Zhong Zhen Dong took the opportunity to hold her hand and softly say, “Xin Lian, become my woman okay? As long as you’re willing, I can help you resolve this problem with Yuan Jun Hao so that he’ll never disturb you and your son again. How about it?”
“This… no.” She hurriedly shook her head, unwilling to admit her helplessness.
“Why not?”
“I don’t love you…”
“That’s okay, feelings can be slowly nurtured.” For him, getting the person in bed was more important. Once she’s his, they’ll cross that bridge when they get there. He wasn’t afraid that the little white rabbit wouldn’t give her heart to him.
“But…”
His breath slowly moved closer, his voice carrying a bewitching effect. “If you become my woman, I’ll treat you well. If you follow me, not only can you break away from Yuan Jun Hao, but you can also live peaceful days. This will kill two birds with one stone, so why wouldn’t you want to?”
He unceasingly coaxed, knowing the little white rabbit was wavering. He knew that if he just pushed a little bit more, he’d succeed by tonight.
When chasing after women, you had to pay attention to the right time, place, and occasion, and once you had it, you can’t let go.
His pair of burning eyes locked onto the little white rabbit lips. Every time she hesitated or was worried about something, she would have this habit of taking it out on her lips. She’d bite those pretty, soft and tender lips until they were glistening and bright red. It looked extremely delicious, making him wish he could subst.i.tute her in biting it.
And he actually went ahead and did it, immediately blocking her mouth with his own fervent lips before she could answer him.
The moment his lips was on hers, Tang Xin Lian’s body shuddered and moved back by reflex.
When she withdrew, he promptly pressed down harder, pursuing her sweet lips. Not letting her get away from the kiss, he didn’t use force, but rather patiently guided her.
Because of his sudden kiss, Tang Xin Lian became fl.u.s.tered, and continuously retreated until she reached the sofa. She couldn’t move back any further but she wanted to escape. However, Zhong Zhen Dong already leaned his body and pressed down on her, making her trapped under his breath.
“No – – Stop!” She forcefully pushed him away, struggling to escape his embrace. She hid behind the sofa, keeping some distance between them. She gasped for air and shook her head at him. “I’m sorry, I can’t.”
“Xin Lian – -”
“Big brother Zhong, I’m really grateful for the things you’ve done for me today, but… kindness is kindness, it shouldn’t be confused with romance or love. I’ll remember your kindness, but I’m incapable of agreeing to be together with you. I’m sorry.”
Zhong Zhen Dong looked at her. He originally thought he would get a hold of his prey very quickly, but he didn’t expect the little white rabbit to be more stubborn than he imagined. The l.u.s.t in his eyes slowly vanished, and his reason was restored. He smiled at her.
“Okay, since you’ve made your decision, I’ll respect it.”
He stood up and maintained his gentlemanly elegance, not allowing any expression of anger or embarra.s.sment towards her rejection show.
Before he left, he softly said, “If you change your mind, give me a call. I’ll wait for you.”
He took out a business card and placed it on the table. Then he politely turned around and left.
“Wait.” She anxiously called out to him.
Zhong Zhen Dong stopped and turned his head to face her. She looked embarra.s.sed as she asked, “That… Tomorrow… Cheng Cheng’s check up…”
Zhong Zhen Dong smiled. “Don’t worry, I’ll come pick you up tomorrow so we can go to the hospital together.”
Tang Xin Lian relaxed and said, “Big brother Zhong, thank you. No matter what, I’ll always remember your kindness.
“Get a good rest.” He tenderly said, and then he turned around to leave.
After he exited the entrance, Zhong Zhen Dong’s expression returned to a penetrating one. Kindness? He didn’t want her to cherish his kindness, what he wanted was her person.
It’s gotten to this point, and the little white rabbit still wouldn’t willingly submit. Unfortunately for her, his dictionary didn’t have the words, “give up.” He didn’t believe he wouldn’t be able to break her determination.
He liked this woman. The more he couldn’t get her, the more precious she was. Her rejection made his whole body boil with fighting spirit.
“It seems like it’s time to use some tricks.” Zhong Zhen Dong used one of his hands to stroke his chin while he muttered, his lips formed into a smile.
Walking out of the building, he sat in a cab that was parked on the curb. The cab driver was one of his subordinates.
“Where’s that guy?”
“Our people are guarding him.”
“Very good, don’t let him die. I want to see him.”
“Yes.”
The guy Zhong Zhen Dong referred to was Yuan Jun Hao. Not long after, another vehicle speedily arrived beside the cab, and Zhong Zhen Dong got off the cab and on the black van. He languidly sat on the seat as he looked at Yuan Jun Hao, who had a broken hand and a broken leg. Yuan Jun Hao’s face was pale, and looking at Zhong Zhen Dong, he quickly begged for mercy.
