Chapter 844: You Have Hurt Me!
Lin Xuanji, you can propose marriage to me now!
The man said.
Lin Xuanji was speechless.
Everyone’s expressions at the venue changed. They were stunned at Lu Jinwen’s words. He had actually arrogantly asked Lin Xuanji to propose marriage to him?!
Lin Xuanyin dug her fingernails into her palm with hatred. Who said that Lu Jinwen did not adore Lin Xuanji?
With furrowed brows, Lin Xuanji looked at the man. “Lu Jinwen, you’re asking me, as a woman, to propose marriage to you. Don’t I have my own pride and dignity?”
Lu Jinwen glanced at her with a mixture of impassive mess and arrogance. “You have your pride now, then why didn’t you have it in the past? Many years ago, you proposed to me with the ‘One and Only Ring’ but I didn’t give you a chance. If you propose to me now, I may consider it.”
“...”
Lin Xuanji had come out with many classic jewelry designs in her lifetime, but there was only one design that was unique in the world, and that was the ‘One and Only Ring’.
Perhaps no one knew that she had used this ring to propose marriage to him.
Lin Xuanji smiled lightly but the smile did not reach her eyes. “Lu Jinwen, that was something that had happened many years ago. You ignored me in the past, so why should I still persist in marrying you?”
Lu Jinwen’s handsome features turned grim. “Lin Xuanji, I’ll tell you a piece of good news. I’ve already thought about it carefully. If you propose to me now, I will say yes.”
Everyone was speechless.
Mr Lu, couldn’t you just kneel down directly?
Lin Xuanyin was so incensed that she nearly vomited blood. Jealousy and hatred flashed across her eyes. This ruthless and heartless Emperor was apathetic and condescending towards everyone, but he was willing to eat the humble pie before Lin Xuanji.
Now he was standing with one hand stuck in his trousers pocket. Lin Xuanji refused to speak a word, and his body had stiffened waiting for her answer.
Lin Xuanyin was thinking that this could be Lu Jinwen’s only obstacle in his heart. This obstacle involved the incident at Bangkok Number 7 that year, her betrayal with Jun Mosheng and Tang Chenyi’s existence...
This man still held a grudge deep down in his heart, and so he wanted Lin Xuanji to kneel and propose marriage to him.
Actually, he merely wanted her to admit her mistakes.
Lin Xuanji’s smile did not waver. “Lu Jinwen, are you forcing me to marry you?”
Lu Jinwen was already impatient from all the waiting. He frowned deeply and said, “Lin Xuanji, are you trying to drag time?”
“I will not propose marriage to you,” Lin Xuanji interjected.
Lu Jinwen suddenly stiffened and his features instantly became frosty and malicious. He strode ahead, pressed on the woman’s shoulder and pinned her onto the luxury car.
Upon witnessing this sudden change, Tang Chenyi’s gaze became cold and he wanted to rush ahead.
But just then, a fair hand blocked him. Tang Mo’er said in a hushed voice, “Chenyi, don’t worry, he won’t hurt Mom.”
Lin Xuanji was pinned onto the car and she furrowed her brows in pain. Just then, she heard the man’s sinister laughter and he sounded like a wild beast who was going to tear her apart. “Lin Xuanji, you are asking to die!”
He had already said before that if she did not reciprocate when he divorced, she would be dead!
She was challenging him intentionally.
Lin Xuanji looked at the man who was already beside himself with fury, and even his deep almond-shaped eyes had become bloodshot. “Hurts... Lu Jinwen, let go, you’re hurting me!”
It hurt.
She said that it hurt.
She still had the cheek to say it hurt at this point in time?
Lu Jinwen reduced his force. He wished he could break her shoulders then and there. “Lin Xuanji, don’t think I will let go of you just because you said it’s painful. Don’t think that you have me in the palm of your hand. You’re still too weak for me!”
He could tell at one glance what she was playing at.
Lin Xuanji’s face was harshly white. Her heart was deteriorating rapidly and she could not be agitated. Her heart constricted and she recoiled in sheer pain. She promptly pressed against her heart with her hand. Upon seeing that something was amiss, Lu Jinwen was startled. “Lin Xuanji, stop pretending...”
His voice trailed off as a trail of blood streamed from Lin Xuanji’s mouth.
She was bleeding.
Lu Jinwen’s breathing paused. Why was she bleeding suddenly?
At this moment, Lin Xuanji raised her head. She was still smiling but there was coldness beneath her smile. “Ha, look. You’ve caused me to vomit blood but you are still tormenting me.”
“...”
He had not caused her to vomit blood!
It was her own doing!
He merely pressed on her shoulders but he had not exacted much force on her. He promptly retracted his hand and the fury in his heart would not dissipate. He said harshly, “I’ll ask you one more time. Do you want to marry me?”
He had already given in too much to her.
He did not need her to propose to him now. He only needed her to nod and agree to marry him.
Lin Xuanji stood up and shook her head slowly but resolutely. “No.”
No.
She said no.
F*ck!
Lu Jinwen kicked the car door violently.
A dent promptly formed in the car door.
He glared at her with bloodshot eyes. “Who wants to marry you? You’ll only harm me. You’ve gone to bed with Jun Mosheng before and given birth to a bastard. I think you are filthy! There are so many younger and prettier women than you outside who can please me better than you do. Many of them will want to be Mrs Lu, even if you don’t.”
After speaking, Lu Jinwen got into the luxury car and it sped away.
...
He had left.
Tang Mo’er and Tang Chenyi hastened forward to hold Lin Xuanji. “Mom, are you alright?”
Lin Xuanji shook her head. Besides her harshly pale face, she remained calm and composed.
“Xuanji.” At this moment, Old Master Lin walked over with a walking stick with Lin Xuanyin holding onto him. “Xuanji, we are family after all. Why did you have to make such a fuss? Jinwen has already divorced Xuanyin. What more do you want?”
Lin Xuanji looked at Old Master Lin. This was her biological father, but this father was only after money and riches. They did not have a warm father-and-daughter relationship.
“Dad, have you ever treated me as your daughter? Those who obey you prosper, while those who defy you will die. You’ve destroyed me with your own hands that year.”
There was a sharp glint in Old Master Lin’s cloudy eyes. Had she known about his plan that year?
He had devised a plan with Lu Jinwen and Lin Xuanji involved in it. Only he knew the beginning and end of everything.
“Xuanji, Dad missed you too. Your daughter and son have become adults and they have grown up to be exceptional people. Dad is getting older now. You come back here with your children, so that Dad can get to enjoy the joys of family life.”
The joys of family life?
This was probably the biggest joke that Lin Xuanji had ever heard.
