Chapter 36: Engagement (8)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ling Yichuan’s first words sent chills down her spine, but his last sentence made her feel inexplicably ashamed and angry!

She had a very strict upbringing. She had not been like those so-called rich and beautiful women who lived a carefree life since she was young. Her father had always regretted that he did not have a son and there was nobody to take over the company when the time came. To prove her father wrong and be his source of pride, she took it upon herself to learn business management and accountancy. She was not a carefree rich second-generation heiress like Yu Nuanxue who attended all kinds of social events daily and got to know all kinds of men.

Moreover, she had carried a torch for Yu Yichen for many years because he had once saved her. Despite the dire straits of her family business and her mother’s tragedy, she felt that Yu Yichen was the only light during her darkest hours when she got engaged to him.

However, she did not expect that the only light would be extinguished in the end.

Most importantly, Ling Yichuan was unfamiliar with her name because she almost never attended any high society parties. Moreover, when Yu Yichen and Ji Liunian got engaged a year ago, Ling Yichuan happened to be overseas. Even if he heard this name, a year had passed and Ji Liunian was too low-key, so he did not have any impression. Even if he found her name familiar, he would not associate her with Yu Yichen’s fiancée—the daughter of the Ji family—his cousin-in-law.

All in all, a woman without any power or backing—even if he were to strong-arm his way into it; break up her marriage and take her by force—he could afford to bear the cost of it!

“I have a habit.” Ling Yichuan’s words pulled her wandering thoughts back. “Once I like something—even if it belongs to someone else—I will make it mine!”

He smiled and gently moved his lips close to her ear. “Didn’t you say that you’re about to get married? Let me tell you, even if you’re already married—as long as I fancy you—you’ll have to sleep with me!”

“You… You’re simply…” Ji Liunian had never met such a scoundrel! What the h*ll did he mean by that? Did he really think that he was the master of the universe?

“Aren’t you afraid that my fiancé’s… family will come looking for you?”

“If you really want to marry that ‘fiancé’ of yours, I won’t stop you.” Ling Yichuan saw her pale face and thought that she was putting on a brave front. “But… you have two options. Option one, you do not get married and we screw. Option two, you get married and we screw—have an affair with me! Didn’t you say that you have a fiancé? Who is your fiancé? On account of our acquaintance, I’ll definitely make the effort to attend your wedding and send you a big wedding gift! So, come on… Tell me!”
