Lan Yanxi was speechless. The pack of cigarettes in her hand was one that she had bought in a hurry, and she didn"t even remember the brand. Ling Mofeng"s question made her mute.
Ling Mofeng narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of ridicule on his lips, he said, "Lan Yanxi, you don"t have to make yourself look like this. I have already investigated what kind of person you are."
Lan Yanxi"s body stiffened. A cold feeling climbed up her back. The fingers holding onto the cigarette trembled a little.
She didn"t even have time to spit out the smoke in her mouth before she was shocked by his words and started coughing.
She coughed so hard that she almost choked on her tears. The cigarette in her hand had turned into ashes, and her heart fell on the back of her hand.
Ling Mofeng looked at the confused woman in front of him. He was expressionless and could only slightly frown.
This woman did not want to marry him, so he came to this conclusion.
Lan Yanxi finally calmed down. She used a tissue to wipe the tears at the corner of her eyes. On the white tissue was a greyish black color. She wiped her eyes with too many shades of grey.
"Ling Mofeng, have you investigated me?" Lan Yanxi"s heart tightened. She suddenly felt angry. Even though she knew nothing about this man, he had already ripped off her outer robes. How could she not be angry from embarra.s.sment?
"You will be my future madam. As for your background, of course I have to investigate it thoroughly, including your character." Ling Mofeng still maintained his indifferent expression, as if the person sitting in front of him was just a customer without any feelings.
"You"re going too far!" Lan Yanxi slapped the table with her palm, causing her pretty face to turn ashen.
"Calm down, your grandfather married you to me for the sake of Lan Family, and I married you to get support from Lan Family. Our marriage will not be a
ulled!" Ling Mofeng had no choice but to tell her this cruel truth.
"I don"t want to marry you. I don"t like you, and I believe you don"t like me either. If you marry me for the sake of the presidential election, I will look down on people like you who are interested in benefits." Lan Yanxi gritted her teeth angrily and completely treated Ling Mofeng as a man who would do anything for his rights.
"Lan Yanxi, do you think that you can decide your own fate?" Ling Mofeng did have a whole new level of respect for her. This woman was quite bold and decisive.
Lan Yanxi was suddenly at a loss for words. She blinked her helpless eyes in grief and indignation as she stared resentfully at the man"s calm expression. As expected, he was someone who wanted to be president. His ability to remain calm despite his emotions was truly brilliant.
"Ling Mofeng, are you willing to be controlled by your own fate? Don"t you really love someone? If you marry me and you meet a woman you love, will you abandon me immediately, or will you spend your life without her for various reasons? " Lan Yanxi felt that it was useless to be angry at him. This man was like a pool of deep water. Water would extinguish all flames. She felt that she should reason with him.
"If I marry you, I will do everything in my power to make myself fall in love with you. I will not fall in love with anyone else!" Ling Mofeng frowned for a moment. Obviously, he had never considered love and woman before. Thus, if he were to say whether he would regret it or not, he really couldn"t say it.
"Ha ha!" Lan Yanxi found the man"s words laughable. She crossed her arms in front of her chest with a look of disdain on her face.
"Don"t you think so?" Ling Mofeng ignored her ridicule and asked plainly.
"Of course, how could you possibly like me? You saw how I was acting. Would you like a woman who gave up on herself? " Lan Yanxi asked with a cold smile, raising her eyebrows.
"I"ve never seen you before. I"ve only seen your picture, and I thought you were pretty beautiful. Now that I"ve met you and chatted with you for a while, I realized that you"re quite bold and decisive. I appreciate you!" Liu Dazhi spoke bluntly and did not beat around the bush.
Lan Yanxi"s heart skipped a beat and her beautiful eyes widened. "Don"t tell me you"re telling me I like you a little?" Am I like this? Is there still a sense of beauty? "
"No, I like your cleverness and cuteness!" Ling Mofeng smiled as a smile appeared in his eyes.
The corner of Lan Yanxi"s mouth twitched. What kind of eyesight did this man have? Through her vulgar appearance, he could actually discover her i
er beauty. There shouldn"t be any problems with his eyes, right?
"Hungry? Let"s eat first! " After Ling Mofeng said this, he lightly clapped his hands.
There was someone pus.h.i.+ng a dining cart in from outside. The prepared dishes were immediately piled up on the table.
"I don"t know what you like to eat, but someone casually cooked a few dishes for you!" Ling Mofeng said with a faint smile.
Lan Yanxi"s pair of beautiful eyes widened again. This definitely wasn"t the situation she wanted to see. She actually wanted to eat this meal amiably with Ling Mofeng.
"I thought you were going to hate me for being like this and kick me out." Lan Yanxi said angrily.
"Don"t torment yourself like this next time, I feel like you"re still better looking than before!" Ling Mofeng looked at her and said in a low voice.
Ling Mofeng, don"t think that just because you don"t dislike me, I will willingly marry you. I hate being forced by others, and I don"t want to bet my happiness on you. Lan Yanxi was furious. At the moment, she really didn"t have the slightest taste for food, even though the dishes on the table were all famous dishes in the country.
"Don"t you understand? This engagement was made by your grandfather and my grandfather. Even my parents don"t have the authority to say no, much less me! " Ling Mofeng didn"t want to argue with her, he just wanted to clarify the stakes.
"Then tell your grandfather that you don"t like me, and we won"t be happy together." Lan Yanxi"s face turned pale again. Indeed, she knew that Ling Mofeng didn"t propose this marriage.
"Then why don"t you go and beg your grandfather? The people from your Lan Family replied to my grandfather that they sent you abroad to study, but what I found out was that after you heard the news of the engagement, you ran away the next day. If this matter were to reach my grandfather"s ears, my grandfather would definitely be very angry. " Ling Mofeng frowned and said.
"If your grandfather gets angry, he"ll cancel our marriage in a fit of rage, won"t he?" Lan Yanxi held onto her hope.
"No, he"ll get us married right away!" Ling Mofeng interrupted her beauty.
