15: Chapter 15 It’s Not My Will 15: Chapter 15 It’s Not My Will “…Let go of me,” An Ruo uttered in a low voice.
Tang Yuchen curved his lips, but his eyes held no warmth, “What, don’t you want to cooperate anymore?”
“Let go of me…” An Ruo’s voice grew more intense by a notch, and she tried to break free like a frenzied kitten.
The man suddenly released his arms, and An Ruo hastily stepped back several paces.
Her long hair was a bit disheveled, and she smoothed it with her hand, looking down calmly and saying, “Aside from this, make other demands.”
Tang Yuchen sneered; she was indeed a stubborn woman, oblivious to her own mortality!
“An Ruo, there’s only one chance.”
“Please make other demands,” her tone was still very calm, with an unyielding decisiveness.
Tang Yuchen gave her a cold glance and walked straight past her.
He rarely repeated himself.
He had given her a chance; if she didn’t want it, then there would be no room for turning back.
An Ruo clenched her fists, her teeth biting down hard on her lips, leaving her face devoid of much color.
She couldn’t give up; she had to find a way to make Tang Yuchen agree to a partnership with the An family.
She had to repay her uncle’s kindness as soon as possible; only then could she live the life she wanted without any guilt.
Tang Yuchen returned to his bedroom, took a shower, and when he came out, he saw An Ruo standing in the room.
Seeing her with downcast eyes and a persistent look, he found it laughable.
He opened the wardrobe, his long fingers searching among the expensive shirts until he selected a white one.
As the shirt was draped over his body, a pair of fair and soft hands reached out to help him with the buttons.
Tang Yuchen waved her hands away without expression, “Get out.”
An Ruo stubbornly reached out again, her actions cautious.
The man narrowed his eyes at her, only seeing her long lashes, unable to discern the emotions in her eyes.
After all the buttons were done up, An Ruo lifted her eyes to give him a quick look and said respectfully, “What would you like for dinner?
I’ll make it for you.”
“An Ruo, drop the pretense.
Stop humiliating yourself in front of me.”
“Aside from that matter, I will agree to anything you ask, just as long as you continue to partner with the An family,” An Ruo insisted.
Tang Yuchen stared at her, and suddenly smiled strangely, “I’m very curious.
Since you want me to continue working with the An family so badly, why don’t you climb into my bed again, like you did the first time?”
An Ruo’s calm eyes flickered as she spoke honestly, “The first time was not of my own volition.”
The man mocked with a sneer, “You mean to say, I forced you?
Don’t tell me, you didn’t know what it meant going to the hotel that day.”
If you dared come, you should be prepared for the consequences.
Even a last-minute change of heart wouldn’t allow for any regrets.
If she wanted to do business with him, then only he could end the transaction.
Nobody could trick him in front of his face.
A flash of surprise went through the man’s eyes.
An Ruo continued, “All I knew was to go there to have you sign the contract…”
She knew nothing else; had she known, she wouldn’t have gone there even at the cost of her life.
Tang Yuchen was a clever man, and he instantly understood the implications.
An Mingqi was quite the fox, not sparing even his own niece.
Even if An Ruo was deceived, what did that have to do with him?
He was a businessman, focused only on results in his dealings, indifferent to the process.
“Then I’m even more perplexed.
He tricked you, so why are you still speaking up for him?”
