Chapter 1650 - 939: A Trial Relationship (Part 3)
Anyway, you’re eventually going to marry and have children. Marrying someone who can help you and doesn’t require a high salary is much more economical than hiring an assistant and then marrying a wife who spends your money.
As for what you said about giving me money and the house, I believe that’s not a lie, but you know very well about the proportion.
Your major funds are operating in the market. To get that money, I have to work hard for it.
Of course, the reason you have so much confidence in me is because you’ve discovered that I’ve been heavily used by Liangyou, mainly because Chairman Luo appreciates me.
A girl appreciating another girl must only be because of capability; that’s your logic, so you put everything on the line to pursue me. That’s my analysis, right?"
"Do I seem that unworthy in your eyes?" Liang Linqing looked hurt as he stared at Li Xiaoyan, "How about this, I’ll immediately shut down the Linqing Hotel and hand you the money. You can spend it as you wish. Can you believe my sincerity with this?"
Li Xiaoyan’s eyes flickered. Did she really analyze incorrectly?
But, if she said a man she met once, even a relatively wealthy one, could be so devoted to her, she’d definitely not believe it.
Wen Jie sighed: "Xiaoyan, I know the biggest obstacle between you and Lin Qing is still me. How about this, I promise you, once you and Lin Qing are married, my brother and I will immediately leave the Linqing Hotel.
In the future, while you’re in Sha City, Lin Sheng and I will be back home. Father-in-law and mother-in-law will be cared for by Lin Sheng and me. During the holidays, if you don’t want to see us, Lin Sheng and I will return to my mother’s house. How about that?"
"Wen Jie, our Li family daughter isn’t that unreasonable. Don’t indulge her bad habits. If she dares to behave like that, I don’t acknowledge her as my daughter." Father Li took a heavy drag of his cigarette and looked at his daughter, "Danni, they’ve laid it out like this, what else can’t you trust?"
Li Xiaoyan thought for a moment and looked at Liang Linqing: "Sorry, no matter if what you said is true or not, I don’t have feelings for you."
"Feelings are the most unreliable thing. What’s important is affection. With time, affection naturally deepens. I believe, if given a chance, you’ll fall in love with me.
Xiaoyan, if you have someone else in your heart, you can tell me. I won’t disturb you, but I’ll be by your side, watching you. As long as you’re happy, I definitely won’t bother you.
If there’s no one in your heart, give me a chance. If after a while you still think I’m unsuitable, I surely won’t cling to you."
Liang Linqing said this in front of his parents, so Li Xiaoyan really couldn’t refuse him anymore.
Thinking about it, maybe this is the best way to resolve the current predicament. She nodded in agreement: "Okay, I can try spending some time with you, but I can’t guarantee anything in the end."
"Alright, as long as you’re willing to give me a chance." Liang Linqing rubbed his hands happily. "Xiaoyan, thank you, really thank you for giving me a chance."
"Xiaoyan..." Wen Jie stepped forward and took hold of Li Xiaoyan’s wrist, "Don’t hate me anymore. Maybe I’ve done things that annoy you, but I truly am trying to make amends.
Previously mentioning President Qu, I really worried that you might overlook the differences in social ranking due to your good luck.
Years ago, when you fiercely competed academically with Qian Xiaomin, she married into a family vastly different from hers, and now, sigh..."
Seeing Wen Jie sigh and stop talking, it piqued Li Xiaoyan’s curiosity, "How is she now?"
"Gone mad." Wen Jie smiled wryly. "Kicked out by her in-laws, she’s counting cotton seeds at home every day. Oddly enough, as long as she has cotton seeds to count, she doesn’t go mad; otherwise, she’ll run around biting randomly. It’s terrifying."
"You’re worried I’ll become another her?" Li Xiaoyan shook her head with amusement, "Why does everyone always think of the worst? If I had such a fragile personality, I wouldn’t have dropped out years ago and wouldn’t be in this position now."
"I didn’t mean it like that, really." Liang Linqing quickly clarified.
"I’ll trust you for now." Li Xiaoyan sighed quietly. Perhaps if he were sincere, marrying him wouldn’t be too bad.
But if so, what would all her years of persistence mean?
Just as her sister said, if there’s no love, just a place to settle down and a man to live with, what’s the point?
How can it compare to her own happiness and freedom?
Unfortunately, she couldn’t say this to her parents, nor to Wen Jie and Liang Linqing, so for now, that’s how it’ll be. Once back in Sha City, she’ll make plans.
Anyway, she hadn’t agreed to marry him, just to try dating for a while.
Thinking this way eased her mood, and she suddenly slapped her forehead: "Er Ni and Xiao Ning are still waiting at the door."
