Seeing the charming smile on this man's face, Banxia was momentarily lost.
Back then, what she loved most was this man's smiling face, gentle, sunny, with a touch of affection.
He was really too charming.
"Yeah, you're here!" Banxia didn't want to fall out at this moment; she still had to properly deal with this bastard.
"Didn't I tell you? Don't go to the pear garden so often, or else you'll be reluctant to demolish it." Huo Qinglin's eyes and brows were filled with an intoxicating smile, and his voice was extraordinarily gentle. Anyone who heard it would willingly succumb to his charming smile.
Banxia sneered coldly in her heart, good for you, Huo Qinglin, you actually have the nerve to say such disgusting words to her.
A bandit's face, blaming her for going too often.
"Qing Lin..." Banxia suddenly leaned toward him coquettishly, looking silly.
She could clearly feel Huo Qinglin's body stiffen and shift to the side a bit.
She used to be too foolish, too naive, not realizing how much this man now repulsed and disgusted her.
"What's the matter now?" The gentleness in Huo Qinglin's brows was still there, showing a concerned look.
Banxia gave a silly smile, then with a sticky voice, pleaded, "Qing Lin, don't you think maybe we shouldn't demolish the pear garden? It would really be a pity. I went to see it again today and realized more and more that it's an antique time can't buy. I believe in a few years, it'll definitely be worth a lot."
After listening to her words, Huo Qinglin's face immediately turned livid and ugly.
There was almost undisguised dissatisfaction towards her in his eyes, "Banxia, we agreed, didn't we? After we get engaged, you promised to demolish the pear garden. Why are you saying such things now? You aren't regretting our engagement, are you? If that's the case, I'd be very sad and disappointed."
Banxia stared closely at his expression, seeing him say this as if just acting naturally.
It showed how perfunctory he was with her.
"Qing Lin, I think we should calm down first. After I think things through, we can talk about the engagement. The pear garden is my grandparent's precious inheritance to me; I can't easily make a decision." Banxia's attitude suddenly changed as well.
In the past, she would have foolishly clung to Huo Qinglin's arm, saying nice things to make him happy.
Even in those foolish words, she would expose all her bottom lines and abandon her dignity.
Just wanting this man's love, his tenderness, his affection.
"Banxia, what are you saying? What is there to reconsider? Don't you want to marry me? Become the second young mistress of the Huo family? As long as you marry me, I'll give you any amount of money, and tonight, we can discuss the betrothal gifts. I'm sure you'll be very tempted when you hear about it." Huo Qinglin, upon hearing that she needed to consider it, immediately became anxious, his tone once again softening, and his gaze towards her was more heated and affectionate.
Banxia knew Huo Qinglin would definitely become anxious, as he was still thinking of taking her pear garden to appease the Huo family's elders.
To prove his prowess.
Hmph, scumbag, dreaming of taking what her grandparents left her to earn credit, this time she absolutely wouldn't let him succeed.
"Qing Lin, how about we get married first, then consider this matter, alright? If you truly love me, you'd definitely not want me to be wronged, would you?" Banxia also intended to disgust him a little, immediately clinging to him coyly and saying.
Huo Qinglin compressed his thin lips, enduring her proximity. Then, hearing that she didn't want to use the pear garden as an exchange to marry him, a cold sneer flashed across his eyes. This woman really has no self-awareness.
If it weren't for her having the valuable pear garden, would he, Huo Qinglin, come running with sweet words?
"Is that alright, Qing Lin, I really want to keep the pear garden for a little longer. It's really important to me. If you care about me, you'll agree to my condition, won't you, won't you?" After saying these words, Banxia herself was almost covered in goosebumps.
It seemed that when she got disgusting, she was quite up to par.
