He looked down at me, and I looked up at him.
âNanxing, am I a fool in your eyes?â
I asked in return, âHave you thought about why you want to marry me?â
His eyes were dazed for a moment before he raised his hand and slapped me. âBecause you can make my position in the Jing family more stable! As long as I use your Phoenix Blood as an offering, there will naturally be people who will ensure the prosperity of the Jing family!â
I was stunned. I didnât even feel the slap on my face.
Jing Ning actually knew about the Phoenix Blood?
No! Impossible!
At that time, no one knew about these things!
âHow did you know about the Phoenix Blood?â I asked him straightforwardly. I didnât care about the slap on my face at all.
Jing Ning smiled. âHow would I know? How would I know if you didnât know about it yourself? Of course, I had to walk step by step to get to where I am today. Someone was guiding me! Nanxing, I regret it. I regret it so much. If we were able to successfully get married, with a living treasure like you, I would probably be able to control everything by now, right? And you can have everything you want. Tell me, isnât that right?â
I thought for a moment before nodding. âPerhaps, itâs true!â
Seeing his smug expression, I sighed again. âBut thereâs no way to turn time back in this world. You were the one who walked step by step to where you are today. Whoâs to blame?â
He suddenly grabbed my shoulders, and he looked down at me from a close distance. âThatâs where youâre wrong. You have Phoenix Blood. Why canât I turn back time? Nanxing, Iâve decided. Iâll marry you. I want to return to the Jing family. No! I want to restore the Jing family! I want to start all over again! Believe me, I can definitely do it!â
I looked at him quietly. âIâm sorry, I canât do it!â
He was stunned. Then, he let go of my shoulder. âNanxing, the thing I regret the most is that I didnât force you back then because you didnât know that you were such a rare commodity. But this time, you wonât have the chance! I will definitely do it! You will be my wife! Listen to me! As long as you listen to me, I will let you live in luxury and enjoy a lifetime of riches. I will let you be a true rich lady!â
âDo you think I care?â I said calmly.
He wasnât angry. âThen Iâll have to do it the hard way. It doesnât matter. Iâll imprison you for a lifetime. I donât care!â
âI care!â I said firmly.
He shrugged. âItâs useless! Youâve already fallen into my hands.â
I looked at him and suddenly asked, âWhat about Ye Qian? What do you plan to do?â
Jing Ningâs expression changed. He took two steps back. âYe Qian, Ye Qian, Ye Qianâ¦â
It turned out that he wasnât in his right mind.
He suddenly spoke to himself in the direction of the wall. âYe Qian, Iâve found a way to make a fortune. Let me marry Nanxing! As long as we get married and control Nanxing, brother Jie will give us the Jing family and the other companies that can be annexed. Heâll also give us a small island!
âYe Qian, itâs been hard on you. I know that youâre the most sensible woman. Donât worry, the person I love the most in my life is you! Everything I do is for the both of usâ¦â
Taking advantage of this perfect opportunity, I hurriedly bent down and untied the rope on my feet. Thankfully, this idiot wasnât a professional. Although the rope was thick, the knot wasnât complicated.
When the rope was untied, he was still confessing to Ye Qian in the air.
I wasnât in the mood to listen. Ye Qian would probably puke if she heard that.
This self-righteous man!
