directly confronted by the facts becomes unavoidably uncomfortable, but she does not deny it as she nods: “Yang Chen, I can guarantee you that if you cooperate with me well, three years later, at most three years, when my enterprise is secured we will divide the fortune and you will not have to bear any more responsibility. Moreover, I will give you a big reward, much bigger than the amount you could make in your entire life by selling skewered goat meat.”
“Miss Lin…” Yang Chen’s expression is already cold, then he smiles and says while pondering: “It seems to me that you don’t understand something. Although I am poor, I am only a lowly skewered goat meat peddler after all, but that doesn’t mean that I will get married to somebody without emotion for money, even if it is fake. You may say that I am a liar, a dumbass, or self-thought to be infallible. But I don’t have any special temperaments except for my stubbornness. And “fake marriage” isn’t a word in my dictionary.”
“You…” Lin Ruoxi did not expect this dirty, despicable skewered goat meat peddler, who could not be any more despicable in her eyes, to reject her humble request. Even if it’s only a fake marriage, how could he not know all rich influential men(something equivalent would be better) in Zhong Hai city who tried approaching her were entirely refused!
Yang Chen has yet to stop speaking, he continues: “If you are truly a conservative woman who cannot accept having her virginity taken by an unknown person, I sympathize with you and I also feel sorry for doing such thing to you. If you wish for it, I will earnestly court you until you are able to like me. Henceforth I’ll accept your proposal and marry you. As for myself, you don’t have to suspect me as I believe any normal man would be unable to resist your charm. But… if you want me merely for the sake of being a shield for your enterprise, then I, Yang Chen, will not accept it.”
“Heh, court me… By what means do you think you could court me? Your skewered goat meat?” Lin Ruoxi has gotten angry. The arrogance of this man bewilders her. Ever since she was born, no man has ever rejected her demands, even if they were unreasonable. Yet now there is a man-ant (TN: Meaning he worth nothing in her eyes) who refused marrying her.
Yang Chen returns to his previous rascally look, laughs haha and says: “You can see I’m handsome and full of manliness. My skewered goat meat is also delicious. This tough and humble life of mine can display my quality as a traditional gentleman. More importantly, I’m very nice toward women, much nicer if it is to my own wife…” (TN: insert snickers here).
“Enough.” Lin Ruoxi is afraid that if she continues to listen she will become enraged even more: “A hundred million for three years of your life.”
“This is not an issue about money…”
“Two years, a hundred million!” Lin Ruoxi reduces the request again while panting in indignation.
Just like before, Yang Chen shakes his head again: “Even if you give me ten billion, I’ll still decline. This is a matter of principle.”
“Do you know that I can both get you out of the police station and also put you inside jail for a lifetime?” Feeling dejected, Lin Ruoxi’s eyes moistened as she bitterly replies.
Yang Chen laughs: “How? Are you actually planning to tell the police that I forced myself on you last night? But I clearly remember that Miss Lin asked for more on her own several times…”
“You…I…I….You…” Lin Ruoxi’s pure white teeth bites on her thin pink lips. The tears of suffering from the pain of being mistreated start bursting out from her eyes. “Yang Chen! You are shameless!”
